What are facts about Ringo Starr?

Answer 1

Ringo Starr is considered one of the best drummers of history, mainly notable in The Beatles (1962 - 1970). He continues his musical career today and has released many solo albums.

Answer 2

Ringo Starr was the drummer for the legendary band called the Beatles.

He left school at age 15. After John Lennon's death he was the first to go see Yoko Ono. He was the narrator in a few of the Thomas the Tank Engine shows. He was the last to join the Beatles. He went to school with Billy Fury.

Answer 3

An interesting fact about Ringo Starr is that his real name is Richard Starkey but more importantly, he was probably the first rock drummer to use a matched grip (both hands use the same hand position) when holding the sticks. If you look at videos of Ringo Starr playing and then look at a clip of a legendary big band drummer like Gene Krupa, for example, you will immediately see the difference in the way the sticks are held.
