Studio drummer Bobby Graham (from Wikipedia)
In 1962, while touring with Joe Brown in Liverpool, Graham was asked to replace Pete Best in the Beatles. However, Graham was not interested in working with a Liverpudlian band with no chart success.[3]
Graham played on 13 number one singles, including those by the Dave Clark Five,[4] Engelbert Humperdinck, Peter and Gordon, Jackie Trent, the Kinks, Tom Jones and Dusty Springfield, and appeared on a total of 40 UK top five hits (10 number two hits; 4 number 3 hits; 6 number 4 hits; 7 number five hits; 107 top 50 hits – 1155 days in the charts). In a discography that counts approximately 15,000 titles, he played on hits by John Barry, Shirley Bassey, Joe Cocker, Billy Fury, Herman's Hermits, Benny Hill, Rod, Stewart, Dave Berry, Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, Chubby Checker, the Kinks, Petula Clark, Brenda Lee, Lulu, Brian Poole & the Tremeloes, the Pretty Things, PJ Proby, Van Morrison, Them, the Walker Brothers, and Marianne Faithfull.

Also Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Wonder what happened to those guys.)
