This is the fill used in the intro, one thing you wanna watch out for is Ringo was a left handed drummer, so some of the sticking might feel backwards but playing it this way helps lead into the next drum you need to hit.

The Hardest Fill to play!

Between the sticking and the movement on the toms this can be a hard beat to play, take it slow and take your time, you can always take away one element of the playing (take away the kick drum) to make the beat easier for you to play.
