Thank you so Much for all the Great SANDY Music....I'm a lifelong fan since a boy of 11, when I first heard "Let there be Drums"...it changed my life, and inspired me to play drums, which I have been doing since age of 12, till now, at age 69....KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.....WE LOVE YOU SANDY........

[@shekrabby249]

I was a tiny kid and remember my bro playing this 45 constantly....never forgot.... still love the music!

[@tryton111]

My favourite Sandy nelson track too, Karen. In 1961 I was working at an advertising agency, and Monday lunchtimes we went to the local dance hall for an hour. This is one I recall from back then ....

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Wow, that must've been cool to have a club so close to work like that. Kinda like The Cavern!

[@tryton111]

Just five minutes walk up the road. But we were always late back after lunch on Mondays, always in trouble!

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

tryton111 ahahaha

[@LoveinbloomDC]

[@drewpall2598]

I've watch both versions of your "Let There Be Drums!" video featuring Sandy Nelson on drums. I was delighted to see Honey Lantree of "The Honeycombs" and Alice De Buhr of "Fanny" on your list. Two other drummers that I like and are overlooked are John Barbata best known for his works with "The Turtles" mid 1960's "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young" 1970-1972 "Jefferson Airplane & Jefferson Starship" 1972-1978 among others. John Petersen of "The Beau Brummels: 1964 - 1966 and "Harpers Bizarre" 1967 - 1970

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Oh, I know, there are so many that get overlooked on these compilation videos ~ that's why I made this 2nd tribute!

[@tubbers20]

So many great drummers and a great song. Thanks. :-)

[@olvinyldude]

Indeed ! Have all of Sandys albums.. Topnotch drumming ! One of my favorites here as well ! Nice pick, Karen ! Happy weekend to ya !

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Sandy really did record quite a few albums ~ shoulda known you'd have them all! Happy weekend 2U2!

[@olvinyldude]

[@LoveBirdsCentral]

Love the drum beat! Thumbs up! 😊

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Thanks so much LBC ~ have a great weekend in LoveBirdsLand!

[@TigerRogers0660]

Such an iconic song Karen! I have to commend you for an extremely well put together video!! Really enjoyed it. This song influenced so many drummers & songs - one that comes to mind is the Sweet - Ballroom Blitz. Thumbs up, Cheers Tiger.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Oh yeah, Ballroom Blitz was a huge hit "BackintheDay" ~ it still sounds good today ~ have a good weekend out there Tiger!

[@RollingBilbao]

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Thanks so much for watching and listening to this one M.M ~ have a good Sunday!

[@GregMadeaVideo]

This was excellent! From the song choice (one of my favorite songs EVER, which I'm glad to have on vinyl) to the tribute to drummers, it was so much fun to watch this. I love that you included Cubby!

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

I always have to include Cubby ~ he too was a big influence on kids to start playing drums too! Hope you have a good weekend Gregory!

[@ReitFans]

Excellent video. I enjoy it my friend. Sandy Nelson also inspired me to be a drummer as well... Have a wonderful weekend :)

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Happy you enjoyed this one Reit ~ thanks for watching!

[@ReitFans]

You're welcome my friend :)

[@rondolce]

That's an interesting list. Some of your choices wouldn't make it on my list but you could justify every one of them. And Sandy Nelson was the guy that first got me into drums.

[@TrevorRoper.]

Great video and post Karen, got me waiting to see if the drummers I like were featured , and they did eventually turn up !! some how thought they would Ha ha , enjoyed ;-) TU^15 Trevor

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Thanks so much for watching Mike ~ happy weekend!

[@sitonatree1]

I know this track but never knew who recorded this Karen , great video too , liked ma shared , have a great day :) ms

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

I heard of Sandy Nelson from my Mom, she had a 45 record with one side that read Sandy Nelson and on the other side it said Ricky Nelson. I wonder where that went?!

[@sitonatree1]

***** That's weird maybe a misprint or maybe they were brothers :)

[@manuelfraga7762]

If you play this in a graveyard, all the souls will come back to life and dance till the end of time...

[@Gretschnut]

Excellent video! Memory lane, boy memory lane. I so wanted to be Dino Danelli, looking cool, bobbing his head, twirling those sticks and pounding those drums for all they were worth. I was a big fan of The Rascals and their "blue-eyed soul." Bonham, of Led Zepplin, has always struck me as having something special, a phat killer groove that no one else has ever truly duplicated. Love all these sticksters though. Thanks for posting. Looks like you've got a great channel. I'm going to have to peruse your other offerings.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Thanks so much for checking this one out too Gretschnut ~ have a great weekend!

[@TomClarkSouthLondon]

A "Drum" song, you just can't beat it! ;-) . . . BIG DRUM THUMB!

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Glad you saw this one Tom ~ have a great weekend!

[@VitoBertaudeau]

gracias y compartido

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Muy gracias Vito!

[@VitoBertaudeau]

salu2 gracias a ti buen fin de semana

[@Bystander929]

Way cool, I love a list, must have taken a fair while getting all those pics together and making the video. Rhythm sections are key to a great band, you could do it again with bass guitarists. Enjoyed it Karen, thanks.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

I did make a video for bass guitarists and for some reason it bombed! I think I finally took it down. Yes, every time I make a list video I tell myself I won't do it again because they are so time consuming, but here I did it again! ahaha Have a good weekend!

[@christineanne1453]

not heard this for ages,good one karen,jane.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Yeah, it's a good old good one Jane ~ glad you stopped by ~ happy weekend!

[@rayszymarek2920]

Put it this way Sandy Nelson the man was very very respected in the l960s. You just might say he was the Gene Krupa of the l960s. He had the Krupa sound and he connected with Up Beat Rock Guitar work. but but but when it comes to drummers my favorite and will always be BUDDY RICH. the legend the Greatest Drummer to draw breath was and will always be Buddy Rich. enough said.

[@genez429]

Well? Good for you. I love Buddy Rich. But, you are comparing apples with oranges. How many Buddy Rich recordings were being played all over the country at the same time, over the radio everywhere and becoming a national top hit? And in Europe, too? Apples and oranges.. Sandy made you feel happy and foot tapping. Buddy is for another state of mind altogether.

[@MrRayzer1]

Aw you forgot me, I'm a drummer! I'm sure I commented on this before. Great video KarenJoe Morello, Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, and bonzo Bonham are my heroes!

[@MrRayzer1]

Just seen the other one, I see what you've done , more informative with band names Excellent Karen.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Well, I had another poster ask me who all the people played with and it gave me the idea to make a better video of this song. Have a good weekend Ray!

[@conniechretien1797]

My first 45.....my brother took it to a party someone swiped it....😣

[@MosaicRose99]

Karen you never cease to amaze with your videos! Always loved the drums, I almost took lessons but didn't. Maybe I should start? You are never to old, right? lol :)

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

It's never too old to start learning the drums or any instrument for that matter ~ hope you have a great weekend planned Karen!

[@rondolce]

Go for it! Go through KZbin videos showing little wunderkinds killing incredibly complex drum parts. There is excellent instruction these days.

[@nataliebulling9350]

Some thing else!

[@jeffreycroteau3544]

80% of those listed can play, the other 20% is the Sandy Nelson category.

[@anthonyfuentes1417]

Great montages! Should have included Richie Hayward.

[@PaulchenKönig]

[@jeremyleachcodingmofo]

Sandy Nelson Recently Had a House fire and needs your help! www.gofundme.com/housefirereliefforsandynelson

[@StratBurst92]

The R&R Hall Of Fame is nothing but a joke. Just as Sandy influenced many drummers Link Wray is not there either and he was the father of the power chord used by tons of guitarists. Rap groups are in the hall though, go figure!

[@genez429]

Sandy did not play drums.... He "danced" drums.
