Paul McCartney’s Brother Michael Was The Beatles’ First Drummer. Looking back, Michael McCartney he’s glad his time with the band was cut short.
Paul McCartney won the golden ticket when he met John Lennon in 1957. They formed The Beatles, one of the biggest rock groups in history. (cheatsheet)
But most fans don’t know that The Beatles’ first drummer was actually another McCartney, Paul’s brother Michael. He was the backbeat for the band before Ringo and even before their drummer, Pete Best.
However, certain circumstances made him leave the band, so he didn’t get the golden ticket exactly. But, for Michael, being in The Beatles didn’t mean you’d won the lottery. Looking back, he’s glad his time with the band was cut short.
The littlest McCartney often came to jam sessions. When they needed a drummer, Michael would fill in.
However, before Michael could officially be named the band’s drummer, he had an accident in Scouts that cut his time short in the biggest “What if” moment. Michael laid that truth on the Daily Mail in 2014, and his interviewer was shocked. “I was nearly in The Beatles,” he said. “I was The Beatles drummer, but I broke my arm in the Scouts.”
If only he hadn’t broken his arm. “It’s back to that word. If I hadn’t broken my arm, I’d have been a Beatle. But I did break my arm and I’m not a Beatle.

“I’d say that if John Lennon had had an opportunity he would have been all over it,” Paul said. “Not so much to fix your voice, but just to play with it.”
