I agree that Ringo added a certain quirkiness to the group, both in personality and in the playing. It was something you couldn't replicate. I remember hearing Phil Collins reminisce on the Beatles when they were active. He said that many drummers were into Ringo's playing because it was so unique in it's own casual and often laid-back way. They admired it so much that they would try to copy his style and play like him. But there was a problem: they couldn't do it.
