The Story of the Beatles Love Me Do Drummer
. It was September 1962 when top session drummer White was called to participate in a Beatles recording session at the EMI Studios at Abbey Road, London. White was a seasoned drummer, 10 years older than The Beatles and had backed up some rock and roll greats including Chuck Berry. White told MyCentralJersey.com in 2008 about his band backing Berry in Scotland: "We used some big band arrangements and put a back beat to it to fit in with the rock 'n' roll thing. I got the chance to hear rock 'n' roll in the flesh. That was where I got a good idea about what it was supposed to happen, drum-wise. It helped me in the studio game because the musicians at the time didn't like it � the jazz guys didn't dig rock 'n' roll." On September 11, 1962 White recorded two songs, "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," and only really interacted with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. He remembers that, "the only two people I was really involved with was John and Paul because they were the writers. They didn't use any written music, and what I had to do was play the routines with them to get an idea what they wanted before we could even start recording." - more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
