Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Who was the drummer for The Beatles? "
...
Richard Starkey, better known by his stage name Ringo Starr, (born 7 July 1940), is a British musician, actor, director, writer, and artist best known as the drummer of 'The Beatles'. He also coined the title 'A Hard Day's Night' for 'The Beatles' first movie.
At the age of 15, he could barely read or write. And although he had an aptitude for practical subjects such as woodwork and mechanics, he dropped out of school and got his first job as a delivery boy for British Rail. His second job was a barman on a ferry to New Brighton, and his next was as a trainee joiner at Henry Hunt & Sons.
Ringo injured his finger on the first day of his new job, and then he decided to become a drummer. His dream came true when his stepfather bought him a new drum kit, and Richard promised to be the best drummer ever.
Before Ringo, 'The Beatles' tried several other drummers. On June 6, 1962, at the Abbey Road studios, 'The Beatles' passed Martin's Beatles audition with the exception of Pete Best. George Martin, the Beatles producer, liked them but recommended the change of a drummer. Being asked by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison; Brian Epstein, 'The Beatles' manager, fired Pete Best. After a mutual decision, the band was completed with Ringo Starr. Ringo contributed to their first hit in September of 1962 when 'The Beatles' recorded 'Love Me Do', which charted in the UK, and reached the top of the US singles chart.
