Drummers - John Barbata
John Barbata (born 1 April 1945, in Passaic, New Jersey,
U.S.) is a noted drummer active especially in pop and pop/rock bands in
the 1960s and 1970s, both as a member and as a session drummer.
Already an established session drummer when he joined The Turtles, he
was one of the pioneering drummers who converted pop music rhythms from
the down-beat rhythms of the 1950s to the off-beat rhythms that have
dominated ever since.
His most famous band memberships have been:
* The Sentinals.
* The Turtles.
* Jefferson Airplane.
* Jefferson Starship.
* Crosby Stills Nash & Young.
Other notable collaborations include:
* With The Strangers guitarist Joel Scott Hill and bassist Bob Mosley.
* With other Jefferson Airplane members as session musicians on
ex-member Grace Slick's album Manhole.
* Session musician for
o Eric Clapton.
o Leon Russell.
o Dave Mason.
o ...and many others, with over 60 albums to his "uncredited" credit.
