Ringo plays with a unique sort of swing feel that's really hard to duplicate, but really stood out when I first heard them back in the 1960's. Covers of songs like 'She loves you' never sounded right because the drummers always played the standard rock beat and it sounded rigid compared to Ringo.

I consider that very important. A technically brilliant drummer with no feel, can ruin a record. Some songs are emotional like "Open Arms" by Journey. Neil Peart is a drum god, but I think Steve Smith knew instinctively where to place beats and it lifted the track. I meant to mention Ainsley Dunbar, Journey's earlier drummer in this response but his name escaped me at the time. He is also a great drummer, but Dunbar wouldn't have been suitable for that song. "Feel" and instinct for a song is the primary reason Steely Dan records too long to record. They wanted the right musician for the right song.

He never just kept time and added accent, but played notes as part of the song's melody itself!! Never repeated any single song's drum part, but played each song entirely seperate!! He is perhaps one of the most underrated of all rock drummers!! A brilliance all his own, and in a large part most often overlooked, and strangely eclipsed by masters like Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon et al, made the bed upon which the Bestles songs were crafted to become the unique music it still remains today!!

When some dudes named John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison unanimously agree that this Ringo is a great drummer, then we can be sure that he is a great drummer indeed.

My favorite Ringo story is the one he tells about where or when he got the idea for "Octopus Garden", then recording it with the Beatles. Pure Ringo. As far as drumming goes, he considers himself highly creative in the studio, something I have never doubted, with his main weakness being his lefthandness, limiting his drum breaks. He is also creative with language or words, having inspired "Hard Day's Night, and "Tomorrow Never Knows," among others. And still find his drumming on TNK, some fine wildass studio drumming. Not to mention his epic miminalist drum solo on Abbey Road. A drummer's drummer.

Go watch the YT vid of the Beatles playing - RAIN - then you will see and hear how damn good and talented and innovative he was (and still is). When you watch that entire video (B&W) - he had just been with the other 3 about 2 years - still quite young. Watching him work he looks lazy, but really he is very very efficient and looks like a duck paddling his ass off - and not a ripple in the water - you’ll see.

Ringo’s drumming worked for the songs. He was way too humble to think he was the one who should show off or be in focus. Charlie Watts was another one of those guys. I have nothing but respect to musicians like that

Ringo is one of the best drummer's ever . I am a drummer probably mainly because of the influence he had on myself as a young kid . They talk about him not being a very good drummer that's crazy. He had no idea what the road map was because when the Beatles were the greatest band in the world he was one of the first rock drummers. He has a sense of drumming called being in the pocket and just knowing what works best for a song . You don't have to beat the drums as hard and fast as you can to be a great drummer. You have to know what to play when and where and know when to not play. Ringo knows how to play the drums. Listen to " Come Together" that's a perfect example of how great of a drummer he is. He doesn't play like Neil Pert but he plays exactly like Ringo Star . Every drummer has their unique style like a finger print no two drummers play exactly alike. That's the key to any artist expressing your unique creativity as an artist. If you stick your neck out and go for your dreams there are always people who say oh that guy's great or people who say he's terrible. You have to have thick skin and know who you are and the reason why you are playing drums, guitar what ever is because you love it and enjoy doing it. Never listen to the nasayers if you are a young musician just keep focused on what you want from your music and go for it. Just like Ringo Star did. He had to be great because the Beatles sold more albums than any other band in All of history. Play music and enjoy it not to impress everybody but to see just how far you can go with it if that's your dream. And a good fact about most musicians they don't practice enough even some of the best just like George explained here " I don't practice enough" I could do better. That's just part of the experience you have to walk away at times to come back fresh and excited about playing again. You can't play nonstop and enjoy it . Enjoy music that is why you became a musician because you enjoy playing.
