Donny Baldwin is an American drummer best known as a member of Jefferson Starship and its continuation Starship.
Donny began his career as a drummer for Elvin Bishop during the 1970s where he worked with future Jefferson Starship bandmate Mickey Thomas. When Aynsley Dunbar left Jefferson Starship in 1982 Donny joined the band and recorded one album with them, Nuclear Furniture, before they evolved into Starship. He remained with Starship until he got into a fight with Mickey Thomas and was fired in 1990. From 1994 until its demise in 1995 Baldwin drummed for the Jerry Garcia Band. He rejoined the reformed Jefferson Starship in 2008, replacing Prairie Prince and will be performing on their upcoming studio album Tree of Liberty. By coincidence, both times Donny joined Jefferson Starship he replaced a former Journey drummer.
