John was the brains of the Beatles.
Paul was the heart of the Beatles.
George was the soul of the Beatles.
And Ringo was the drummer.

And not even the best drummer in the band.

It would be difficult to be best when they already had Pete.

Paul McCartney is extremely musically gifted.

This. Ringo gets unfairly knocked--he kept the beat and crafted some epic hooks

Ringo is unfairly underrated. He's a far greater drummer than people seem to

I think they fall into the guitar / drum solo fallacy. Ringo wasn't interested

Who do you think told John & Paul their song Hey Dude still needed some work?

Lennon never called Best a great drummer. Actually, he called him

I forgot about that one, it's pretty good.

I think the drummer part referred to Paul being a better drummer...
