Ringo was the best drummer for the Beatles.

His work on Rain is probably his best as far as drum fills.

A solid drummer who elevates the rest of the band without showing off is a great drummer.

Ringo did that.

Totally agree on that. A Keith Moon type wouldn’t have worked with The Beatles, and vice versa.

Try to imagine “I Can’t Explain” without Moonie’s drumming, it just wouldn’t be the same.

I recall an anecdote about John pointing Ringo to some bossanova track for an idea of how he wanted the drums on "I Feel Fine."

Ringo listened and said "But John, there's two drummers on this one."

John said, "Aw, you can do it Ringo"

And he did (though not in the video shoot).
