I'll bet that song got more kids into drumming than any other song ever done back in the 60's.

Speaking of enthusiastic, you have seen Whiplash, haven't you?

Bill- That drummer was Mel Taylor- who was one of the best rock drummers in the world. A few years back I posted the following video of the Ventures performing Caravan live in Japan (in 1966), where they still remain one of the most popular bands of all time.

If you thought Taylor's drumming on Wipe Out was something, watch what he does here:

The arrangement of Caravan in Whiplash was done by John Wasson, my former roommate when I was in drum corps...
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

Bill,
I've never heard of The Ventures until your posting.
I found them highly enjoyable and will add them to
my music playlist. I really appreciate it guy.
Have a fine weekend.

Please say, to your sidekick(My apologies if your HIS sidekick),
Mr.O aka Lobo-meister.

Will do, Israel.

When I was learning guitar in the early '60s I had a music book with a smattering of artists; it included Walk, Don't Run by the Ventures, who appeared on the book cover.

The only other song I recall from the book was Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from, if memory serve, Thunderball.
