Best, PeteDrummer. Born in Madras, Nov. 24, 1941. For most general rock fans, the Pete Best story ends on August 16, 1962. That´s when Beatles manager Brian Epstein told the unfortunate drummer that he was being replaced by Ringo Starr, just weeks before the group would record their first single. Most fans don´t know that Best did continue to perform and record for a few years, usually as the leader of his own group, and usually for cheapo companies eager to exploit his notoriety as an ex-Beatle.
