John Patrick 'Pugwash' Weathers (born February 7, 1947) is a drummer, best known for playing with the progressive rock band Gentle Giant.
Weathers joined Gentle Giant in 1972, as a temporary stand in for their drummer Malcolm Mortimore, who had been injured in a car crash. He first played on Gentle Giant's Octopus album, and his position soon became permanent, remaining with them until they broke up, after their last album Civilian (1980). He was well liked by fans for his distinctive hard-bashing drum style, and also played vibes and xylophone, among other percussion instruments. He also added his vocals in both studio and live performances more and more frequently as time went on, even singing lead on the songs "Interview" and "Friends", the latter of which he also composed.
