“Let There Be Drums” #7 12/18/1961

Influential rock drummer Sandy Nelson had a few instrumental hits back in the day, like this one from December 1961. He went to high school with Jan and Dean and was once in a group with those guys along with future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston. Nelson found steady work as a session drummer until a 1963 motorcycle accident that required amputation of part of his right leg. Yikes.
