Ringo Starr Said Joining The Beatles Was Like Going to School, but Not Because He Had to ..

Ringo Starr’s steady beat and underrated skills behind the drum kit made him the perfect drummer for The Beatles. It’s not a coincidence that the Fab Four shot to stardom soon after Ringo joined. Still, it wasn’t a cakewalk. Ringo said joining The Beatles was like going to school, and not just because he had to learn new songs.

Ringo was well known to The Beatles before they asked him to join. 

Various childhood illnesses kept him out of school for years, but he discovered his passion for drumming during one hiatus. He never completed his childhood schooling, but that might have been a wise choice. Ringo built a reputation as Liverpool’s best drummer with Rory Storm & the Hurricanes, who performed in Hamburg, Germany, during some of The Beatles’ residencies there.
