Floyd Chester Sneed[1] (November 22, 1942 – January 27, 2023[1]) was a Canadian drummer, best known for his work with the band Three Dog Night.

Born on November 22, 1942,[2] in Calgary, Sneed grew up in a musical family (his parents were both musicians at their church) and became interested in drums at an early age.

In 1968, he met a trio of vocalists (Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells), who had a contract with Dunhill Records and were looking for backing musicians.

Sneed also sang backup on one song with the band; he provided the deep vocal on "Joy to the World", singing the lyric "I wanna tell you."

Sneed and original Three Dog Night bassist Joe Schermie appeared on the cooking show Food Rules starring Tom Riehl in 2000.

[7] After Sneed retired as a musician, he spent his time in the Pacific Northwest, more specifically Washington State, enjoying the sights and sounds with his friends and family.
