Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???

Perhaps it's an urban myth, but I recall reading that Ringo did not play on all the Beatle's recordings, and that some heavy hitting session drummers filled in on several occasions.

Do any of you Beatle's aficionados know if this is true?

Bernard Purdie was the named party.

Yes, I couldn't recall if it was Bernard Purdy or Hal Blaine.

Alan White did play drums on at least one early Beatles recording.
