Complete and utter bullshit.
Unless you have 2 valid cites to back this up, neither of which i will add can be Wikipedia, I advise you to delete/withdraw this.
When the Beatles were playing the clubs in Hamburg and the Cavern in Liverpool Ringo Starr was known to be the best drummer in the area, by a wide margin. The only reason the Beatles had gotten Pete best as drummer was because: 1)They were required by the owner of the club in Hamburg to have one, and 2) Best had a drum kit.
Rinog was a sounding board of sorts for the other Beatles. He'd listen to a song and make a comment about how it sounded better with such and such and the other Beatles may have told him to sod off at the time, but they'd go and change it later.
Technically Paul was a bit better then Ringo, but since none of the Beatles ever learned to read or write music, they didn't place all that much value on technical skill to begin with.
