Andrew McLuckie White (27 July 1930 – 9 November 2015) was a Scottish drummer, primarily a session musician.

[1] White was featured on the American 7" single release of the song, which also appeared on the band's debut British album, Please Please Me.

[1][5] In 1958 he formed a big band jazz outfit and took it to the American Northeast where he backed rockers like Chuck Berry, the Platters and Bill Haley & His Comets.

White said, "We used some big band arrangements and put a back beat to it to fit in with the rock 'n' roll thing.

[6][7] In September 1962, White received a call from producer Ron Richards asking him to attend a Beatles recording session at the EMI Studios at Abbey Road in London.

[12] White says he was paid £5 for the session and 10 shillings for bringing his drum kit,[13][14] and did not earn any royalties from the sale of the records.

[5] White said that on that day in the studio the only members of the Beatles he worked with were Paul McCartney and John Lennon, because they were the songwriters.

[17] He also worked with many other musicians and groups, including Rod Stewart, Anthony Newley, Bert Weedon and the BBC Scottish Radio Orchestra in Glasgow.

White also played drums with the Smithereens in May 2008 at a We Get By with a Little Help from Our Friends charity health-care fundraiser at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn.

[5] In the late 1980s White moved to United States and lived in Caldwell, New Jersey, where he taught Scottish pipe band drumming.

He was married to Thea White, a librarian who supplied the voice of Muriel on the Cartoon Network show Courage the Cowardly Dog.
