By all the contrarian shit posting plebs on /mu/
He's actually the single most tasteful drummer to ever exist in pop music. He was also incredibly skilled, wish is why the drums in Beatles songs always sound so amazing- he knew when to hold back, and when not to.

Some highlights in there include:
>The fills in She Said, She Said.
>The double bass drumming in Good Morning, Good Morning.
>The very dynamic triplet fill in Oh! Darling.
>The ghost notes in Long Tall Sally
>The ride cymbal bell in the bossa nova rhythm of I Feel Fine.

Pretty sure Ringo overdubbed the really nice fills that come in halfway.
