According to Andrew Hickey's book "California Dreaming: The LA Pop Music Scene and the 60's," Sandy Nelson was not the drummer of the Gamblers, but instead one Rod Schaffer. Hickey seems to have done a lot of research, but he doesn't cite a source. The book seems to be self-published, so that's a strike against it. On the other hand, the source used here is Allmusic.com, which is not necessarily very reliable either. So, I dunno, but I thought it was worth a note here, in case anyone wants to dig deeper. · rodii ·19:41, 21 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
