Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles!" - though apparently it originated in a 1981 BBC Radio 4 comedy show rather than actually from John Lennon! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/john-lennon-ringo-best-drummer/ Anna Noyd-Dryver |

Technically Ringo has an unusual style - he’s left handed but plays a right-handed drum kit so he doesn’t necessarily play the same drum patterns as other people.
