My dad actually use to be a dummer in his band he use to always play Surfing USA until he got a skin disease called arthritis when they let him free to go live his life he went to go meet up with his band members so he did and they wanted nothing to do with him because of how he looked he was so angry so he started his own band he did this song by his self he practiced it for hours until he got it down. The next day he played it for my mother she fell in love with this song but when my dad fished the song his hands started bleeding she he decided to quit my mom was in shock. Years later i found this song I showed my mother and she started crying then I showed my dad and he decided he was going to play this song one more time for my mom so he did my mom was so happy. Thank you so much for making this it means so much to me you really impacted my life.

Session drummer Frank DeVito actually did the drumming on Surfin’ USA. But Dennis was no slouch. Dennis drummed the flip-side Shut Down!

​@tbirdtim yes and Frank just passed away a couple of months ago in fact. He was sitting in for Dennis because Dennis had broken his ankle when some girls stormed the stage. And Frank so admired Dennis and wanted to fit in with the Beach Boys sound that he imitated what he had heard Dennis play . A total pro.

Great, man ! Not easy keeping that bass drum beat going thru the whole tune without changing the beat . Fine work !

Beautifully done! I'm a beginner drummer and practicing songs like this one to build skills. Aside from the exhausting relentless pace I've got it mostly down but still having trouble with those rolling fills. This vid added a lot of clarity on how to do them. Thanks!

I once got really high and watched a shit ton of drum tutorials. You gotta work on basic paradiddles and rolls. Plus, I think you have to abandon proper techniques to nail down Dennis' style. He played open handed. That is to say he played the hats with his left and snare with his right. And he had a caveman attack

@@mr.nobody68 Dennis was left-handed, but played a right-hander's kit. That's why he rode with his left. Nothing more.

I have a mix always scrollin on my tv.. But as I'm walking thru my house this sounded better..when looked at the monitor I was blown away!!! GREAT JOB!!! And yes u need to do more!

Underrated song to play. Beat is so fast

That was so much fun. Good job.

Wow!

Love watching your covers dude. Wish I could play as quick, precise and relaxed as you do.

MAGNIFICENT!

You can say that again he is awsome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Superb

Amazing job! You took a great surf guitar song and made a badass drum cover. Drums are perfectly timed bruh!

Nice job on the #1 band of all time! I think Dennis would be proud of your cover. the 60's in so. calif. with the Beach Boys was unbelievable, you had to be there!

When i watch this video, i feel joy of life so much. Thank you pal.

Today is my recital and it’s this song

Nice performance mate. Greetings from Grangemouth !

It's not bad but if you really wanna capture the Sound of The Beach Boys with songs life Surfin'.., Surfin' Safari, Surfin' U.SA., I Get Around, and Fun Fun Fun.. I would highly recommend playing open-handed, with the left hand on both the high-hat and the crash symbol on the left side of the drum-kit along with the right hand on the snare drum.. which creates that strong backbeat that Dennis perfected on the snare drum while adding heavy down-beats/stomps on the kick-drum. I play open-handed whenever I play their songs from their Early to Middle Years all the time, I do it so that it sounds just as Dennis would've played em' 🤘

Wonderfull!!

Are we mind-connected ?? I guess you always cover songs from bands I love!! Could you cover Sloop John B or I'm Waiting For The Day from Pet Sounds plz ?
