Keith LeBlanc (November 10, 1954 – April 4, 2024)[1][2] was an American drummer and record producer who was a member of the bands Little Axe and Tackhead.

After showing an early interest and focus, his parents bought him a practice pad, and he joined the orchestra in school.

A drummer in school encouraged his early interest, inspiring him to cobble together a makeshift kit which he played along to records on his father's HiFi system.

[12] LeBlanc's friend Harold Sargent, the drummer for the house band at Sugar Hill Records, was retiring and needed to find his replacement.

After replacing Sargent, LeBlanc worked as the session drummer for Sugar Hill Records for four years.
