Asked once in a late-Sixties interview if he thought Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world, Lennon flippantly answered "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!"
All the same, Lennon always counted on Starr's drumming to enhance the music they made together, and encouraged later drummers he worked with (including Andy Newmark) to "play it more like Ringo".

When did Ringo take over as drummer for the Beatles?
Ringo Starr started playing drums since he was a little boy in the hospital. The nurse would come around with plastic instruments for them to play with, and Ringo would always choose the drum. He would fight over it. Once he was out of the hospital, he told his family of his interest in music, and his uncle bought him a guitar. Eventually he got a set of drums. His interest in drumming started when he was about five, but it is unsure of when he actually got his first drum set. Fun- Fact, Ringo Starr is actually left-handed, but his grandmother wouldn't let him write with his left because she was Catholic. That's why Ringo's drumming style is different from most drummer's drumming. He throws left-handed moves into a right-sided drum set.
