Drummer

Randolph Peter Best thought he was a better drummer than all the rest but his new band wouldn’t put up with such malarky and he was soon replaced by Richard Starkey
*For those who don't know-Richard Starkey is aka Ringo Starr*

I guess he was never 'the best,' esp. if Ringo replaced him, eh?

No he wasnt. In fact he was fired. George Martin and John, Paul and George felt he wasnt that great a drummer so George Martin had Brian Epstein fire Best.
