Paul could be a drum technician playing drums, but not a technical 
drummer. :-) IMO, solid technique developed by years of repetition
is just what he lacks. He has a very different feel in his drumming 
compared to Ringo, which may have something to do with the fact that 
he's a lefty playing right-hand drumsets. Paul plays OK though and he 
plays better than I do, I'm the real amateur (not even a drummer).

Here are some interesting (?) links that I came across while browsing 
the net with this subject in mind.
