Legendary Doobie Brothers drummer and co-founder John Hartman died at the age of 72, band members announced on social media.
The Doobie Brothers released a statement to social media Sept. 22 regarding Hartman’s death. His cause of death and the exact date of his passing was not revealed in their post.
“Today we are thinking of John Hartman, or Little John to us,” the band wrote on Instagram. “John was a wild spirit, great drummer, and showman during his time in the Doobies,” they continued.
He was the band’s original drummer, and is credited for bringing the band’s signature sounds to life with his talent and contribution, People noted.
Hartman played the drums for the band’s first eight albums, and performed on some of their most famous tracks, including “Listen To The Music,” “Long Train Runnin'” and “What a Fool Believes,” the outlet continued.
Hartman’s long career in the music industry included a number of achievements and accolades. The talented musician was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, according to People.

I’ve sometimes wondered what a rock band might sound like if it used a tuba (or sousaphone) in place of a bass.
Some great Tiran bass lines on that one.
I don't know. If it did, it didn't puke me out as much as McDonald's did.......
It was memorable, probably because it isn’t something you see a lot!
Yep. Phil is looking poorly, these days.
😂
Your kids were right.
Cool. Have a Pina colada my friend.
Sometimes I think Katy Lied is my favorite SN album, something about plays thru and comes together.
SN=SD
Apparently the Doobie Brothers band happened to mention his passing on a social media page this weekend and the media simply assumed that this had just happened and without even a cursory factual check, ran the story that he just died at age 72.
If this does not convince you how useless and incompetent our media is, I don't know what will. Even on simple things like this, you just cannot trust a damn word they say.
What about Zamfir, The Master of the Pan Flute.
RE: Drummer heaven....
Rings Starr is a survivor. 🤞
Ringo IS a survivor!!
Still on tour....I didn’t realize Edgar Winter was in his All Starr Band....
Huh, I never knew he played with the Doobies, I learn something new here every day.
You're obviously a fan of his since you chose to bring him to my attention.......
Thanks for the info.
thank you...
yup, Skunk was a plus, unlike mikey boi
Yeah, missed back then apparently.
“Yep. Phil is looking poorly, these days”
Major neck issues I believe. He sat on a chair during the last tour, his last. He is only 71. Pretty sad.
