John Barbata

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
**Eric Clapton.
**Leon Russell.
**Dave Mason.
**...and many others, with over 60 albums to his "uncredited" credit.
