Drummed Down
Ron Wilson's drum riff on "Wipe Out" was so striking that "the yardstick
for every aspiring young drummer in the early 60s was to be able to
play a drum solo called 'Wipe Out'." -- Wikipedia
Learning “Wipe Out” was a rite
Of passage able to excite
The blood of young aspiring drummers,
Who earned their creds as up and comers
By managing to solve the riddle
Of mastering that paradiddle.
