When Keith Moon critiqued Paul McCartney's drumming (Far Out Magazine)

According to Keith Moon, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney wasn't just a brilliant bassist, guitarist and pianist; he was also a keen drummer.

Interestingly, when The Who were going through a rough patch in the 1960s, Moon approached McCartney to ask him if The Beatles were looking for a drummer. According to Mark Blake’s Pretend You’re in a War, Moon approached McCartney at the Scotch of St. James, a popular central London haunt for the rock elite. On McCartney, Ram and Flaming Pie, McCartney decided to record all the instrumental arrangements himself, from guitar and bass lines to synth and drum tracks. Mad, bad and dangerously original, Moon was to drummers what Jimi Hendrix was to guitarists: a true pioneer. Of all The Beatles, Paul was perhaps the most impressive multi-instrumentalist. You’ve got to hand it to Paul McCartney: the man knows music.
