I know nothing about the other two, but Dino Danelli is news to me. After the Rascals he and guitarist Gene Cornish had the band Bulldog that had a hit single entitled "NO". They were a very hard rocking band. He was a really good drummer and almost a twin for Paul McCartney

I saw Zeppelin and The Who both in '75 when their drummers were still living.

Came across this video of The Rascals performing "Do You Feel It" featuring Dino. I guess you have to go to YouTube to watch it
