As precise & crisp drumming as you'll ever hear. R.I.P. Mr Meehan!

Tony was a far better drummer than Brian Bennet by miles! Tony was an absolutely precise drummer to the end, not like Brian who as far as I am concerned was slack! Listen to Tone on the snare and cymbals, he was an amazing drummer! Jet Harris and Tony were the back bone of the Shadows, absolutely NO doubt! !

I greatly appreciate the comments of those who can explain just why this is such a gr8 drum solo. Had not heard it since I was a lad in my teens in Mex City circa 1968 ... instrumental music was hugely popular among Mexican general audiences. Shadows, Santo & Johnnie, Ventures, got huge play down there. There were entire YEARS when "see you in my ..." was no. 1 requested song of radio station (Radio Capital, AM band) that played teen music.

The drum solo by Tony Meehan is the best I've ever heard. It has substance, variety, clarity, hard, soft knocks, smoothness and the drummer also brings us along to see him in his drums by doing the soft part in suspense and then moves us to a climax with a series of hard knocks before the guitars set in. He was indeed a very good drummer and a second to none.

@Dionysosable But for me he was the best drummer for the Shads cos after he and Jet went, they lost something ; a kind of edge and danger about their music ; this is very exciting and dynamic as is a lot of their music 1960 to 62. Little B i like a lot less than this
