How To Play The Drum Beat From “Wipeout“ By The Surfaris

Know it’s not QUITE the same on the e-kit (back to the studio and the acoustic soon!), but tons of fun to play and an all-time classic, instantly recognizable drum beat! Played by Ron Wilson. Shoutout to channel member Steve (and lots of others) for the suggestion :) Original song here: Also I know that the on-screen notation technically shows the snare drum. I notated this using Mike’s Lessons excellent Groovescribe, and it only has the facility for writing accents on snare! But this groove is definitely to be played on the tom tom. Have fun and please give me a shout anytime if any questions, Mike Please check out my “Buy Me A Coffee“ page here: , where you can support this channel/sign up as a monthly member.
