Early Beats: A Drummer\u2019s Roots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Liverpool\u2019s Dingle neighborhood, Ringo faced a tough start. Childhood illnesses like peritonitis and pleurisy kept him hospitalized for years, derailing his education. Yet, music became his lifeline. At 15, he got his first drum kit\u2014a makeshift set from his stepfather\u2014and fell hard for the UK\u2019s skiffle craze. By 1957, he co-founded the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group, gigging locally until rock \u2018n\u2019 roll took over. His raw talent shone through, despite being self-taught and left-handed on a right-handed kit. For more on skiffle\u2019s impact, check BBC Music\u2019s history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
