Helen Wiggin playing a left handed drum kit was a thing of wonders and amazement. If she had just found her backbeat, the Shaggs would have been 'better than the Beatles' (Frank Zappa). To his credit, left handed drummer, Ringo Starr playing a right handed kit found a unique backbeat that frustrated the Hell out of professional drummers trying to emulate it.
