I know of Pete Best and Ringo Starr. But did the Beatles have any other Drummers besides those two? and if so what was his name?

No, that's it. Best was not as sharp as the other three, and they dumped him for a guy recommended by the Rolling Stones.

Hey Bully, I asked my mother...To cover the complete line up of the Beatles since inception; The Quarrymen - Ken Brown (played both bass and drums), Johnny And The Moondogs (1959-May 1960) - Ken Brown, The Silver Beatles (May 1960 to June 1960) - Tommy Moore (June 1960 to August 1960) - Norman Chapman, The Beatles (1961 to August 1962) - Pete Best (August 1962 - 1970) - Richard Starky a.k.a. Ringo Starr, The Treetles (1994 - 1996) - Richard Starky (done with earlier recordings of John Lennon).

No, I do not believe they did. At least I don't remember them having another drummer in any of the documentaries, etc. I've seen about the Beatles.
Anyway just FYI I heard they kicked Pete Best out of the band because he was becoming the most popular member of the band and getting all the attention from fans (ie girls). May not b true, but that's how I remember it being portrayed in some Beatles movie I saw a while ago.

I *believe * there was a guy called Jimmy Nicol who filled in for Ringo for a single tv appearance....or 2.
Ringo was out sick or something.
EDIT:
& *technically* Paul played drums for a couple of (later) songs.
Paul drums on "The Ballad of John & Yoko", & I *think* "Why Don't We Do It In The Road",
