- Johnny Barbata, L. A. studio drummer turned Turtle, later in Jefferson Starship. Amazing song parts, and Buddy Rich liked his playing! His name is rarely mentioned, for a reason I don't understand.

- Bobby Graham, British studio drummer who is heard on the early Kinks singles. A very dynamic, exciting player.

- Nashville studio legend Buddy Harmon, that town's Hal Blaine. Runner-up Harry Stinson, a great musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. Currently playing in Marty Stuart's band The Fabulous Superlatives.
