But that statement was later said to be untrue (at least not said by another Beatle — the part about Ringo not being the best drummer in the Beatles).

Radio X

Did John Lennon Say Ringo “Wasn’t Even The Best Drummer In The Beatles”?

Did Lennon really make this famous joke at the expense of his Beatle pal? Let’s find out…

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

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
