Credit to Ringo, they still call him "the human metronome" because he had fantastic timing. Dude probably couldn't play jazz to save his life but he was always on time. It actually took people a long time to figure out his timing because he was left handed and it took him an extra quarter or eighth of a second to swing over the left hand to strike a tom. Right handed drummers couldn't figure it out until he explained it.
Also I still find the song "Octopus's Garden" garden to be unintentionally hilarious because the vocals are basically the way a sentient drum kit would imagine how to sing. I. Like. To. Be. Un. Der. The. Sea.
I always felt bad for Ringo. Seems like being both the least talented and most human member of your globe-trotting supergroup is a bad gig.
