The “Wipe Out” drum solo by The Surfaris is often considered one of the best drum solos of all time. It was released in 1963 and has been widely influential in the world of drumming ever since. The solo is characterized by its fast, intricate rolls and fills, and its use of the backstick technique, which is a method of striking the drum with the back of the drumstick, producing a quieter and drier sound. The solo is also played in a 6/8 time signature, which gives it a swinging, swaying, and fluid feeling.
