- Stephen Martin "Steve" Price is an American drummer and percussionist, best known as a founding member of the California smooth rock band Pablo Cruise.

The pair then played in a band called Together and were recruited to play in San Francisco band Stoneground, which turned out to be a big break. Stoneground also performed in the 1972 horror film Dracula A.D. 1972 (starring Christopher Lee).
