When they were getting ready to record their first single , Love Me Do, Martin told the band that live they could do what they wished, but that if they recorded with him that he would bring in a pro. Apparently pete didn't really fit into the group dynamic anyway, so they dumped him. Martin remained stubborn and insisted on using his guy for the track, but soon learned Ringo was more than up to the task as he obviously drummed on everything else.

"Love Me Do" was recorded by the Beatles on three different occasions with three different drummers at EMI Studios at 3 Abbey Road in London:
- EMI Artist Test on 6 June 1962 with Pete Best on drums.[13] This version (previously thought to be lost) is available on Anthology 1.
- First proper recording session 4 September 1962. In August, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr. Producer George Martin did not approve of Best's drumming for studio work. It was the norm at that time to have a specialist studio drummer who knew the ways of studio work. The decision to fire Best was not Martin's. The Beatles with Starr recorded a version at EMI Studios.[14]
- Second recording session 11 September 1962. One week later, the Beatles returned to the same studio and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums. Starr was relegated to playing tambourine. As tambourine is not present on the 4 September recording, this is the easiest way to distinguish between the Starr and White recordings.

I could have played drums for the Beatles and it wouldn't have changed a thing. Except for the songs he sang, I guess. Cause I can't sing.
LOL

100% Agree.
Well that was disappointingly short lived.
For what its worth, Ringo's son Zak Starkey did play drums for the Who on at least 1 tour

Zak is a great drummer… Ringo naysayers will probably point out Keith Moon had more influence on him , personally and stylistically, as a drummer…

Geez! You saw OASIS with ZAK STARKEY?!?!? You didn't see them with Tony McCaroll (when they were peerless. He only played on the first six singles and "Definitely Maybe". That's like batting 1.000.) You didn't even see them with Alan White.
I know it's tough to select one specific nadir with a band like Oasis, but that's like seeing Kiss with Vinnie Vincent.
I'm disappointed. I thought you thought you were hip.

Can we bring back Dupek too?
Oh what a Xmas present that would be.
