Pete Best
Born: 24rd November 1941 Madras, British India
One of the original Beatles, he joined The Beatles on 12 August 1960 as the groups drummer and went with the Beatles to play in Hamburg clubs. Following an audition organised by the groups manager Brian Epstein for George Martin ( Parlophone ) where he liked the group but did not like Best's drumming style Epstein dismissed Best from the group just over two years after he joined the band on August 16th 1962. Richard Starkey, known as Ringo Starr was bought in to replace him as drummer. It should be noted that the line up of The Beatles while touring Hamburg was Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Sutcliffe decided to leave the Beatles and enroll at the Hamburg College of Art shortly after the tour ended and George Harrison was brought in to replace him.
