Oookay. It looks like Ginger Baker has gone senile.
Surely he's joking??? If not he's as deluded as that other swollen-headed, egotistical dullard, Liam Gallagher.

Paul is a way better multi instrumentalist...fully capable on drums, guitar, bass, keys, ukelele, upright bass and probably a few wind instruments and kazoos as well.
I won't debate songwriting because that's subjective and I own complete solo collections by all 4 fabs. It depends on the day who I'm into in the moment.
But all I'm saying is that Paul surpasses the other three when it comes to musicianship being percise and professional at all times live.
All this talk of Paul's questionable abilites reminds me of John Lennon's How Do You Sleep?
Ginger Baker is one hell of a unique drummer that has left his imprint on classic rock music during his time as 1/3 of Cream. Quite a few drummers cite him as a major influence at one time or another without hesitation. I've got his jazz albums and they're excellent.
That being said, Ginger, as a person, (and most people would agree) has always been a bit arrogant and somewhat bitter about the music industry and it virtually governs any interview he has given over the years. He is grumpier these days. John Bonham respected Ginger as a drummer and cited him as an influence but remarked "Ginger has always been a weird sort of a bloke".
