Re: Drummers are Purdie
The title of the string made me believe that you were just going to be posting pictures of yourself. Great clips....I read somewhere about the fight between Purdie and the Beatles, with his claim they used his drumming on early albums. Interesting stuff.
This guy is decent too:

Re: Drummers are Purdie
That's true, Bernard Purdie claims that Brian Epstein hired him to play on some early Beatles recordings.
Here's an article on the subject.

Here's an excerpt from Max Weinberg's excellent book, "The Big Beat" (1984):
Weinberg: You played on Beatles' tracks?
Purdie: Twenty-one of them.
Weinberg: Do you remember which ones?
Purdie: Ummhmm.
Weinberg: Which ones?
Purdie: That's information I don't disclose.
Weinberg: Why won't you name the tracks?
Purdie: Because if I need that information to get me some money, then I'll have what's necessary. I also played on songs by the Animals, the Monkees.
Weinberg: Everyone knows the Monkees were a fabricated band, but The Beatles?
Purdie: Ringo never played on anything.
Weinberg: Ringo never played on anything?
Purdie: Not the early Beatles stuff.
