Because a surprising number of people don't even know there was a drummer before Ringo... I'm guessing the creator of this thread was one of those.
You are wrong, im know very well that pete best was the frist drummer before ringo in the beatles. But when ringo arrives, they were more popular and suscessuful and the beatles hit started. Their first number one was with ringo, not with best.

Well if you want to get technical, he wasn't the FIRST Beatles drummer, they had a couple before him also, back to the days when they were the Quarrymen or the Silver Beatles.
But the Beatles could have been popular with anyone at the skins; the drumming is so simple, even Meg White could do it. I think it was on the first album that George Martin overdubbed all of Ringo's drumming because he felt Ringo wasn't good enough.
