Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 is a studio album by The Command All Stars. It was produced by Enoch Light and released in 1960 on Light's Command Records label (catalog no. RS 817-SD).[1][2] The featured musicians included Tony Mottola (guitar), Doc Severinsen (trumpet), Bobby Byrne (trombone), Bobby Haggart, Phil Bodner (piccolo), and Stan Webb (saxophone).[3] The album cover artwork is by abstract painter Josef Albers.

Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 debuted on the Billboard magazine pop album chart on May 1, 1961, peaked at the No. 3 spot, and remained on the chart for 51 weeks.[4]

AllMusic gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Dave Nathan wrote: "This is one in a series of LP's that Command records issued to show off its considerable recording skills rather than for any lasting musical value."[3]
