Ringo's unique style came from the fact that he's a natural left-hander playing a right-handed drum kit - as he mentions here.

I always feel like the drummers who grew up on the Beatles are super protective of Ringo and his reputation as a drummer because he gets crapped on so much. It's true that he's not much of a technical drummer, and guys like Max are much better, as in they can do more things well. Ringo famously couldn't get some bits on Back in the USSR and Dear Prudence quite right, and Paul drums on those ones instead. But Ringo is absolutely a genius of giving a song what it needs, and while he may be limited, his uses what he can do brilliantly. His style is so his own and so perfect for what he's playing behind. Not a great drummer technically but a great musician. Musicians understand this and I think all Ringo's "kids" want to give their props to kind of lift him up in public estimation. Not that he's asking.

@nattheis8779

Also....can we just appreciate the background Ringo is coming from? The man spent a decent bit of his childhood in the hospital, which oddly enough, is where he started drumming. Not that he had drums, of course. No, Ringo was playing on pots and pans. But he still fell in love with drumming despite not getting his first drum kit until he was 17 or 18. The kit was cheap and old and meant for right-handed drummers, but he was still good enough that after dropping out of high school (because he fell so far behind due to his illnesses), he joined Rory Storm and the Hurricanes in 1959. In 1962, when the band was the most popular band in Liverpool, Ringo left to join the Beatles. Within one year, the Beatles were the most famous band in Britain, soon to be the world. At the height of Beatlemania in 1964, Ringo had been playing drums on a real kit for only seven years.

To illustrate Ringo's greatness as a drummer, you can identity any Beatles song by isolating Ringo's drumming!

One ALWAYS has to hit rock bottom before recovering, well done to Ringo and anyone else who experienced problems, common people as well as famous

Compearing with others interviews, ten years before, Ringo is calm. He was in rehab, undoubtly. Thats why he could enjoy his 80s

Like the music- and always will- you are as good as you get and the sub song was meant not to harm but I was sick in an institution and needed to chill. But thanks for sharing that no one is alone and you can get help- live for today and your friends. Take care of you. Drums would be fun.
