Pete Best was the original Beatles drummer who was replaced on the 4th of September, 1962, by Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey). Jimmy Nicol was a stand-in drummer when Ringo was sick.

Most don't know about Jimmy Nicol's brief work with the band.

Additionally: Andy White was a session drummer, producer George Martin brought in for Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You". He apparently wasn't thrilled with Ringo at first.

They kicked Pete Best out because he wasn't being serious about the band; he never thought they would get to the top.

Each of them played drums to some degree, but Ringo Starr normally played them on their records.

Immediately before Ringo, Pete Best played drums in The Beatles, but the Beatles had a number of drummers before Ringo, including (for one night only) a local thug who "volunteered" to play for them!

Their first drummer was called Thomas Moore. Pete Best was the son of the owner of Liverpool's Casbah Club, where The Beatles played occasionally. Andy White was a session drummer who played on the second version of "Love Me Do".

Before Ringo joined Johnny Hutchinson (of Liverpool band the Big Three) also sat in for them a number of times when they were between full-time drummers.

Pete Best was and after that Andy White because nobody told George Martin Ringo was coming. After having Andy White that one time they decided they still wanted Ringo.
