Was just searchin' for a recording of teen beat & I stumbled onto this. I'm dumbfounded. It's really the MAN! He should be touring & doin' the late night talk show circuit or something. He deserves more recognition.

Great stuff. So glad I found it. Always loved drums and bought all his discs,so it's great to hear Sandy talk about it, all these years later.

John Bonham also played his straight eight notes with a bit of a swing feel to them!
"Half Swung" I like to call it!
Thanks for the explanation Sandy!

Hello Daniel.This is great.Thanks for posting.Sandy Nelson has another record coming out on the Nashville label SPINOUT. Eddie Angel from Los Straitjackets is producing.
Could we get more of this. I'm facinated by not only the drumming, but the candor and humor.
