He's called a bassist. Paul McCartney played bass for most of the Beatles recordings and performances, although originally the band's bassist was Stuart Sutcliffe and occasionally George or John would play bass - John played bass on Let It Be as it was recorded live and Paul was playing piano.
He was the drummer in the early pre-Beatles years before he was replaced by Ringo in 1962
It's difficult to say for sure as in their early days, people would play for one evening with the band. However, 7 musicians could claim to have been a Beatle - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Peter Best, Stuart Sutcliffe and Jimmy Nicol.
Not exactly, but close. Future Beatles John Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe, Paul McCartney and George Harrison used to frequent a Liverpool coffee bar called the Jacaranda, whose owner was enterpreneur Allan Williams. They kept asking to play at the Jacaranda; Williams refused, seeing how unprofessional they were when he met them. He first put Sutcliffe and Lennon to work, painting a mural to decorate the Jacaranda's ladies room, then put the band to work at some smaller gigs, including backing an exotic dancer. When they had some more experience, Williams finally let them play at the Jacaranda; besides, his regular band had been hired away to play in Hamburg, Germany. Williams later booked some Liverpool bands to play in Hamburg himself; the first band he sent was Derry and the Seniors. The second band he sent were the Beatles, and he accompanied them on the trip to Germany.
