| | Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 5: Surf CD (3 Customer Reviews)
Generations of junior high kids spent entire study halls pounding out paradiddles with their open palms on their desks until their hands were blistered and they were sent to detention, and it's all Ron Wilson's fault. Wilson was the drummer in the Surfaris, a suburban Los Angeles garage band, and his dazzling solos on the group's sole hit single, 1963's "Wipeout," set the standard for rock & roll drum frenzy so high that not even Keith Moon--whose fondness for this song was legendary--could beat it. Even without the drum solos, "Wipeout" has enough going for it in Jim Fuller's cyclical lead guitar line and hooks like the manic giggle (courtesy of manager Dale Smallin) at the top to make it an all-time surf classic. ROCK INSTRUMENTAL CLASSICS VOLUME FIVE surrounds "Wipeout" with 17 other exemplars of the form, including several beyond the usual suspects that appear on most similar compilations.
Includes liner notes by Teisco Del Rey (a.k.a Dan Forte).
Audio Remasterers: Ken Perry; Bill Inglot.
