@dean - after I wrote that piece on Buddy, who played on tons of incredible records (cut in NYC), it came to my attention that it was more likely Gary Chester (according to various credible sources) on “Sugar, Sugar.”

Unfortunately, the NYC AFM contracts are scarce, at best, unlike the ones from LA. And memories of some players, understandably, get fuzzy with age. Having said that, it’s always possible that Buddy might have played percussion or an overdub here. Interestingly, Hal Blaine played live percussion on some Beach Boys tracks that Dennis drummed on. “Hawaii” and “Warmth Of The Sun” come to mind. I think “I Get Around” is another and maybe “Dance, Dance Dance”?
