Sandy Nelson Drum Solo-Wipeout

[TheRowdy40]

sandy was the best no comentor

[SSCHubbard]

Had the pleasure to have seen Sandy many times before his accident and the only better drummer is Gene Krupa. Would have loved to have seen and heard them together

[blah5533]

drum solo? how des he get them drums to sound like guitars?

[azerkahn]

@blah5533 Since when can only one instrument play during a solo? Any rock song would be pretty boring if all other instruments stopped as soon as one of them started on a solo.

[blah5533]

@azerkahn ....ever since solo meant this ( taken from oxford english dictionary

Music . performing alone: a part for solo bassoon.

performed alone; not combined with other parts of equal importance; not concerted.

alone; without a companion or partner: a solo flight.

[azerkahn]

@blah5533 Ha ha, is everyone on youtube a 12yo troll these days? Both you and that dictionary is wrong. With solo one usually means that one particular instrument is lifted in front of the others, being the focus of attention one could say. Like when Jimmy page plays his solo at the end of Stairway to heaven or when Jon Paul Jones goes nuts on the bass on Scumbag blues (or since you seem to be quite young, maybe Slash in Novemeber Rain would be a better reference.)

[azerkahn]

@blah5533 And reading your quotation from the dictionary it clearly supports me and the poster of this video anyhow "not combined with other parts of equal importans", which is exactly what I said. One instrument being more important then the others, being the "center of attention". Now do you realize this is a solo?

[blah5533]

@azerkahn that really good, first you say that the dictionary is wrong then you say it's correct. which is it? ..take your time over this , we wouldn't want to rush you into making a mistake. and as I'm having a quiet night in on my own with some friends there really is no need for you to hurry up.. oh wait you've deleted your comment about the oxford english dictionary being wrong. the english speaking world should burn all their copies and buy copies of azerkahn english dictionary instead

[azerkahn]

@blah5533 I haven't deleted any comment, it's still there. And yes the dictionary was right, I just didn't read your citation that carefully at first. I guess I just asumed you would have posted a quote that was contradicting me since it sounded like that was your point. But since you say im both right and wrong at the same time I guess your point was simply to start an argument and nothing else. Still, have a nice day!

Sandy Nelson was my first drum idol in high school before i discovered jazz. This is not your traditional version of Wipeout but some great drumming. I think the Ventures had the best version of this song with Mel Taylor. I love the way alot of the early rock & roll drummers played the ride rhythm on a ride cymbal and not everything on the hi-hats like they do now.

[kilvan66]

Fabulous! Sandy Nelson introduced me, in my early teens, to drums as a musical instrument!!!

Among the greats, don't forget Bill Bruford!

[59keoni]

Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Sandy Nelson, Louie Belson and well, there are not to many others that can capture the precision of the "brain to hand to stix" all that appreciate; we bow in your presence!!!!!!! and thank you for the lessons......john

[piotrkabat]

dope

[OlRetro]

Very Kool! Sandy always got such a good sound & feel out of his drums. I like The Surfaris' version, and The Ventures do it justice, too - their drummer Mel was no slouch on the skins, either! Hahaha. Regards, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

[yellowrose318]

great!

[64goldenoldies]

go sandy goooooooooo beat those skin its wipe outtttt lol

[tsaphah]

I love this version....Preston Epps wrote this and Bongo rock first...compare them....LOL.

Won many bets on this.....

[theaznlvr]

umm i still think the surfaris version better just my opion

but have you heard sandys 1st record yet?

its called "to know him is to love him" by the Teddy Bears in 1958 he plays drums on the song

[makev25]

[steverlfs]

The Segovia of percussion! WOW!!!

[KennetSilvander]

Nu fick vi en Dansk med ochså

[DA90027]

Breatherable, because Sandy Nelson is a great drummer, I like hearing different versions of this song. You sound like a moron.

[Breatherable]

Why is Sandy Nelson's name attributed to this piece? he had nothing to do with it. Wipeout is the original composition of the Surfaris from 1963.

[megadiane001]

@Breatherable Give us a break. How dam dumb are you?

[megadiane001]

@Breatherable I imagine his name is connected to it,because he's the drummer, dah.I checked out your Surfaris. Prreetty bad, No wonder I never heard of them

[bcwdrums]

Excellent playing..

[Bottomf]

Best version of wipe out. none better or faster. Go Sandy

[theaznlvr]

@Bottomf

ummm the best version is by the originals the Surfarais

[Bottomf]

@theaznlvr  Surfarais were Ok but Sandy sounds better and faster.

[theaznlvr]

@Bottomf

now im gonna have to pull both records out and check to see who is faster

to me surfaris sound faster but maybe im wrong either way still a great song but surfaris did have better flip side "surfer joe" LOL

[Bottomf]

@theaznlvr  I use to have that 45 of the surfarais. I liked surfer joe. Go man go.

[theaznlvr]

@Bottomf

yea surfer joe was ok but wipe out is always awesome

[michaelzxhc]

All the flams and the like within the roll...crazy...

[ljjbloes]

He is goooooood

[kittykat7363]

one of the very best back then and still one of the best!!!

[candybrae]

This is a "REAL" drummer

[MrSurfdog]

I like this almost as much as the original by the Surfaris!!

[candybrae]

Sandy can beat him ....hands down...

[GingerPhilG]

good god, that's some solo right there...

[snatchhog]

The" Three KINGS"-

Sandy,Gene and Buddy "Jerk-Off" Rich

[lonso14]

don't you know chick webb????

[Bottomf]

Best version of wipe out. and to slikrok. sandy not a accomplished Drummer. He was one of the best of his time in the 60's. Krupa and rich were OK in the 40's and 50's. nuff said on that one. Go sandy

[SJF98]

Sorry? Am I hearin' you right? SN is a fabulous drummer and devised some wicked and simple to play rhythms! Suggest you check your facts - have a listen to his playing and try it yourself. Write it out or get a manuscript it will inspire you and improve your playing!

[slikrok593]

Strange how Sandy Nelson was not really a

very accomplished drummer , but sold

many records . For really " knock-out" drum

solos , look up Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa ;

both were very musical and played solos that

swing !

[LuziferVideo]

Not again. We did that in 1965. Don't you boys never grow up? :-)

[genemz5]

@slikrok593 You must be verrrry young. Sandy Nelson not an accomplished drummer? Name every great drummer of the sixties groups. Chances are? A huge number of them were inspired by Sandy Nelson. Carmine Appice has a video about him. Steve Smith has written about him. Max Wienberg. Ringo .. Sandy Nelson. Keith Moon! Come on? Learn some history.

[CrackerJackLee]

Yeah!!

[LarkinFarkin]

Thanks for posting some Sandy stuff.
