Let There Be Drums - Sandy Nelson

Let There Be Drums - Sandy Nelson
2:18
Let There Be Drums, 1961
Written by Sandy Nelson & Richard Podolor

I'm not much of an instrumental fan, but this early surf-rock drum-electrical guitar duet rocks.  Catchy, bouncy, wouldn't be out of place in many an arena rock drum solo of the 1970s.  Great stuff.  Dumb fact: I thought Sandy Nelson was a woman until I looked him up.  In 1963 he lost part of his leg in a motorcycle accident but continued drumming.  Impressive, but not quite as impressive as Rick Allen.
