I believe this group was the Silver Beatles. What brand of drums is Pete playing ? This should be an eazy one !

Premiers. The pic is from 1961, I think. And The band is not The Silver Beatles anymore. Did they change their name in 1960?

I saw The Pete Best Band here in my hometown few years ago and it really Rocked!

You are correct....they dropped the word Silver. I still like 'Johnny and the MoonDogs'!

Who latter replaced Pete as drummer for this band ?

Rock On !

Wasn't it Lefty Frizzell? I think it was. He played with these guys during their creative explosion that would yield such masterpieces as "I Am The Waffle Man", "Tomorrow Never Waffles", "Good Day, Crisp Waffle", and the titular Soundtrack mega hit "WAFFLE!"

Man, those guys were amazing. ... I'm hungry ...

Was it this guy behind the vintage set?

Can somebody tell something about his set in this picture? Later he used also Prems and then Luds...

This is Rory Storm and the Hurricnes

photo is taken probably at summer 1960.
