[quote]In an early interview John Lennon was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world.[/quote]

MY GRANDAD was the best drummer who ever lived, despite only having biscuit tins for a drum kit and two rolling pins for sticks. Although he had a poor sense of timing and rhythm, he compensated with a heavy handed playing style and practised enthusiastically for 18 hours a day. My Nan didn't appreciate his skills, however, and after 50 years of pounding, she stabbed him in the throat in 1985.

😂 I was always sort of “meh” on Ringo.

@SmartKat Ringo replaced Pete Best in 62 because of his "personality" not talent. Ringo was so bad in the beginning that studio drummers sat in for early recordings. McCarthy sat in as a drummer on a couple of occasions when Ringo was unavailable.

Except that John never said that. It was some comedian.

@graphite Jasper Carrott. Yup. "If it's on the Internet, it must be true."
