James George Nicol, known as Jimmie Nicol or Jimmy Nicol, is an English drummer born 3 August 1939, and best known for being a temporary member of The Beatles. When Ringo Starr collapsed and was hospitalised on 3 June 1964 with tonsillitis on the eve of The Beatles' 1964 Australasian tour, manager Brian Epstein and producer George Martin discussed the possibility of using a stand-in.
