Beatles drummer: How many drummers have been in The Beatles?

The Beatles’ line-up is well known, with each of the members becoming very famous in their own right after the band split up. John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney received particular plaudits for their songwriting and work after the band, while George Harrison and Sir Ringo Starr’s work has also been followed closely by fans. But it turns out this foursome was not the original line-up, especially on the drums.

While John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison were all in The Beatles when it became thus named, Sir Ringo Starr was not.

The band started out as The Quarrymen, which has continued on since John, Sir Paul and George left to do their own thing.

They became Johnny and the Moondogs to start with, playing skiffle as well as rock and roll, whenever there was the opportunity to do so.

They played with a selection of drummers whenever they could, and later enlisted John’s friend Stuart Sutcliffe to play the bass guitar.
