As a former drummer, it is so very difficult for just one person to get that drum beat down. And they have to in unison. I hope some people realize how difficult that was.

[@RobertNielsen1970]

Even though I play guitar, and not drums, I can _definitely_ recognize how difficult it is for those two to be so well in synch!

[@tompastian3447]

dual drummers are great for marching bands, but I've never cared for the concept of two drummers in rock bands. For a song like this, I don't really see the need for two drummers. It's somewhat insulting to the drummer. It's not like having Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich on the same stage. With Ringo's All Star Band, there's a clip on youtube of them doing "Grovin" by the Rascals. Ringo and another drummer playing at the same time, plus the sax player on Conga drums. All three of them playing and no one played the Conga part that Dino Danelli played; LISTEN TO THE SONG ON THE RECORD!

[@baboononskates]

As a drummer I have never understood two drummers playing the same beat and similar fills. Makes absolutely no sense..

[@tompastian3447]

@@baboononskates Like your comment on not understanding having two drummers. I posted the same. Being a drummer, I think it makes no sense for rock bands to have two drummers. One song I consider to be difficult as a drummer is "One Way Out" by the Alman Brothers. I play that song with the group I'm in quite often, and there's almost no way to get that grove the two drummers get when they did the song live, with one drummer. There's some kind of syncopation going on there that needs two drummers. Other than that, there's a mistake you can here in the live version on the LP at the end of the drum solo. It's either a screw up by the drummer or drummers, or maybe more likely, that the bass player started playing at the wrong time at the end of the drum solo. It's pretty obvious if you hear the record. I think it is somewhat insulting to have Ringo playing drums with other drummers at the same time, for example. I posted as well, how Ringo's All Star Band was doing "Grovin" by the Rascals, with Ringo and one other drummer, plus the sax player was playing conga drums. Between the three percussionists, none of them played the conga part that Dino Danelli played on the record. It kind of blows the whole song if not even the guy playing Conga drums plays the dominant conga part.

For the TV show, this theme was filmed just outside my home town in the Mojave Desert. Then I saw Hawaii 5-0 at my grandma's house and it sent chills down my spine. It was actually a little scary to a small kid! But unforgettable too,as are all the Ventures' tunes I ever heard back then.

Unfortunately they don’t show the original one on tv so I’m stuck with the new version, which isn’t half bad. Hawaii 5 0 and mash are my favorite old shows. Could watch them all day

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

@@jeffe9083 - The show was on for several years, and the theme song was re-recorded a couple of times, adding horns and a few choppy video-clipping effects on the drum turn arounds. I can remember when the show was in rerun mode(before the series ended), and there were some episodes where the music seemed especially good. I never was able to get the complete series to go fishing for the version that I liked better, but I know that there is one, one of the theme re-recordings from a later season, that's MUCH better. It's hard to determine what can be done to find it, the show was locked down by Jack Lord, star of the original series, who grabbed control of the series. He had been burned by Hollywood once, and did everything he could to avoid unwelcome news from industry money guys who didn’t like him.
