Paul McCartney Said one of the Most ‘Difficult’ Things The Beatles at the Start 

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison collaborated with a different drummer prior to Ringo Starr joining The Beatles. When The Beatles performed in Hamburg, Pete Best took a trip to Germany with them. However, Best was never the beneficiary of the band's widespread success.
McCartney said it was one of the hardest things they had ever had to do, but they let him go just before they made a big splash. The Beatles tried out for producer George Martin in 1962. Martin thought the band had potential, but he didn't think Best would help them move forward. He suggested that they look into getting a new drummer.
According to McCartney in The Beatles Anthology, "He agreed to audition us, and we had a not-very-powerful audition in which he was not very pleased with Pete Best." "Because every big-band session drummer George Martin employed had an excellent sense of timing, he was accustomed to drummers being extremely "in time." Our Liverpool drummers have spirit, emotion, and even economy, but they lacked a lethal sense of timing. This would irritate record producers.
