The duel drumming by Max Weinberg (left), and Mel Taylor (right) take this song to a whole new level.
Agree, a great duo. It reminded me of Ringo Starr's induction to the hall of fame and he "dualed" with the stage band. Rock on.....
For sure. Max's son is the drummer for one of the most popular metal bands today.
@ed stahl When the Surfaris made the original, they only had one drummer (Ron Wilson). The Ventures, doing this cover here, normally only have one drummer, but added a guest drummer on this number to spice things up a bit.
@@woodysthoughts4032 And as a drummer, I love how there are no ego trips on display here. The played really well together without trying to 'outplay' eachother. Thanks for the info too, take care. Norm in Yorkshire UK.
2024 and I'm 75 still listening to these tunes - they keep me young
64-year-old surfer boy in the year 2024, my favorite instrumental of all time, and these guys do it right!
born 1946, still loving it. I thought I'd have joined my parents by now, but still here ! It must be the music.
Boomers hehee im only 11 and this was in my game when i was inside vehicle
This is the first song I learned to play on my drums in 1967 at the age of 13. I went on to fame and fortune playing in a rock band up and down the streets within walking distance. When I met my girlfriend in 1969, I knocked on her parents doors doing the drum solo with my knuckles. They thought I’d never amount to anything but I fooled them! I married their daughter and we’ve celebrated 51 years so far.
Mano Levo draugas pamatys, kaip jo svajonė išsipildys, mes padėsime jam tai padaryti, nes svajoja mano brolis, kuris yra mano ypatingas dvynys nuo mano tėvo du kartus, pamatys jo svajones išsipildžius, nes tai yra begalinės būtybės, jos visada egzistuos, nebus pašalintas, pamačiau žvaigždutę, kurios paskutinė buvo įvesta apie kitą dainą ir pirmoji čia. Geamănul meu de la cincizeci și opt este în siguranță și se află în altă țară și cultivă hrană. A bɛ iko an bɛ taa mini ice age la ani an bɛna kɛ lafiya la ani ka lafiya yɔrɔ wɛrɛ la min yɔrɔ ka jan creeps la minnu t’u janto mɛlɛkɛw la.
I love watching the two drummers feed off each other’s energy. You can truly see the excitement in both of them.
Love it. Those drum players were magnificent, the whole song/tune was and still is classic.
I’m only 73 yrs old and I still love this fantastic music. This is impossible
Es buenisima...que bien que disfruto en sus buenos tiempos a estos grupazos.
I love how they all look like they're all having so much fun.
that's tge biggest problem with pop music nowadays. they don't have fun at all they are just making money thinking onoy about themselves (wich is why they are alome on the clips most of the thime and if they are not then the others are just bystanders)if the king of pop saw what pop has become he would suicide on the spot
coincidentally MJ died in 2009 which is about a year after pop got incredibly shit, was all downhill after that. "Doc, just give me all the sleeping meds, i dont want to hear that "ive got a feeling" song again, tonight is not a good night and it hasnt been since that song came out" its been downhill from there
This is brilliant. Really takes me back to the 60s. I was a female drummer in a all male rock band. When we played 'Wipeout' the guys used to go off stage so I could play a solo. Thank you for sharing the and bringing back memories. This was excellent 👍👍👍
Ahh its sooo good. Real American living right here baby. Let's get our country back
@@mattschwartz7583 good point, but that’s not the the point of the comment Matt.
@@mattschwartz7583 what do you mean mate? Also how can you tell the comment is fake?
Going on 29 years old here. I DIE for some good tunes like this.
I wish it was still a thing.
My era of music was the 70's and the 80's. I enjoy song reviews depending on who is doing the reviews. But, I can take that song and it to my play list. Sometimes my phone will make a list I have listened to frequently.Sometimes I just ask Google to find songs from a certain group. Keep on keeping on. I am 67 and I am reminded in the comment section how the record playing is natural raw talent and no auto tune. Good luck.
This song will always & forever be a classic. A song with a drum battle for the ages thrown in. Epic. Max Weinberg looks so young back then. Cheers.
This song was quickly written in the recording studio to provide a B side to a 45 record. It took about 30 minutes to go from no idea for a song to what became a hit.
It was written by The Surfaris, not The Ventures, but it was a hit in a short time. Everyone, including The Ventures, couldn't help but love it.
The Surfaris were teenagers, still in high school when they got together and started playing. After some months, they wrote one song, Surfer Joe, and practiced playing it for a while before deciding they should record it. They got money to pay for the studio time from one of their mothers. It cost about $4000.00 in todays money, and she wasn't rich. After they got their one song on tape, the recording engineer told the boys he was ready to record their second song to put on the B side of the record. They said they didn't have one. He told them he could put Surfer Joe on both sides, or they could come up with another song right there.
The drummer, Ron Wilson, started pounding the rhythm we all know, and the other guys came up with the guitar and bass parts in about 10 minutes. They ran through it a couple more times and had it recorded.
The bass player, Pat Connolly, didn't own a bass at the time, and he'd only played guitar before that. He borrowed a bass just to use at the recording studio. He obviously picked it up very quickly.
They didn't have a name for it, so they brainstormed for a bit, and were headed another direction when the father of one of the kids brought in a piece of thin plywood and broke it next to a microphone. They realized that sounded like a breaking surfboard, and their manager gave the crazy yell, and hollered, "WIPE OUT!" The engineer spliced the tape to put the breaking board sound, and the yell, at the beginning of the song.
I had heard that Merrill Fankhauser originally wrote the song and a google search said he recorded it in 1962, this was before the 1963 release of the Surfer Joe 45(?)
When this song first came out all the boys in school were trying to beat this rhythm out on desks, walls, trash cans or anything that made a drum like sound. It was great.
This was the ultimate instrumental in the day, and yea, every guy just had to pound on anything with two pencils as drum sticks. I was able to do it with my hands like a bongo.
LOL!!! I actually remember doing that in 6th grade...wayyyyyyyyyy back when.
One of the guys in my sixth grade class would sit and tap it out with his feet, accurately. He was quite athletic.
That song is just.. EPIC!!
..and Max has such an aura and approach to his drumming that it is just.. pure joy!
When I was sixteen they told me to turn it down. The volume is still high at 74. Rock on.
Played stereo or records too loud dad wood pull the fuses to our rooms and lock panel...I called family services
Respect your neighbours keep it loud you know what they are missing with wipe out and need to be educated with great music on guitar and drums
Nokie Edwards, the lead guitarist for the Ventures, passed away this evening. He was one of the great guitar legends. 3/12/2018 RIP
He was one of the guitar greats of our times and had one of the fastest fingers in the business..thoroughly amazing...we will miss you very much..R.i.P Nokie
music04777 So sad, but also a reminder of the legacy of great music he and the other members of the ventures have left with us. Rest in peace, Nokie Edwards. Thanks so much for the music.
The world changed in the 60s best time to be alive .the music made the hard times worth living now 78 still play the music of the 60s
I’m 62 years young, but I can listen to drums🥁 all day long!!!!!!! I love watching drummers drum!!!!!!!
Remember how the boys in school used to drum this out on their desks in school?
@@danbowen284 hahahaha oh yeah!!!!! I’d go back to my high school years in a drum beat🥁
I'm sure you remember inagodadvida by iron butterfly great drum solo😎✌️ I'm 67 I was in the 7th grade first time I heard it 😎
Mel and Max with their dueling drum solo's are on a whole another level!
Max was in the house band of some talk show I can't remember which one!!
We're lucky to have been born at a point in history when rock is king.
I was a kid when this stuff came out. my parents listened to it. they also had some old Van Halen albums mixed in with the record collection. but they mostly listen to Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond.
Growing up as a kid in LA I would see these guys, Dick Dale, and many others all the time at the Whiskey and the Starwood. I knew we had it good.

Today, 4/13/24 is Max Weinberg's 73rd birthday. I saw him last week with Bruce Springsteen and the ESB,and he looks about 50 and still plays like he's 30. He hasn't slowed down at all. And he's still sexy af
God how I miss this music. Just the unique style of instrumental music. So much talent also. Sad that it’s gone
Lot's of Surf Music still being played!!...check my band Rocket Fish out!
czcams.com/video/zsSdH9fj3hs/video.html
I miss it to, I was young again, my knees don’t hurt and I have nice thick wavy hair.
This music would wipe out today's music without sweat :)
+adityakumardsv Quite correct. Pop in the 50s and 60s had form, originality,skilled musicianship, beginnings, endings, harmony, and (often) melody. Today's pop has all but seven of those features.
+Nick Hobart Originality? Harmony? Melody? This song is almost entirely the same melody being looped. I fail to see how it's "superior" to music today.
+Omegis theunyielding You're right about the melody being looped, but that's the case for most songs then or now. What this one has, instead of a synthetic drum most usually found nowadays, is two very talented drummers riffing off each other and complementing rather than competing with each other. Can you think of any modern group that has that?
My Father is in the hospital on a ventilator... This is one of his favorite music videos! He loves how the drummers get into it! If any of you are religious of any type please say a prayer for my dad, we are not ready to say goodbye to him. He has a love for music with a record collection numbering in the thousands! Much love and peace to you all.
My dad passed away on the 2nd.. Thank you all for the prayers. Tough times are ahead..
@@sethbenavidez9298 sorry to hear of you dad's passing. He is rocking in heaven. Be strong my brother.
What a time to be had in America, no responsibilities, no heartbreaks and no cares in the world, never to be repeated or duplicated!
Which America are you talking about? Maybe you’re just remembering the joys of youth.
The real deal! Love watching them and listening to them over the last 50 69 60 years. I am now 75 and still love to Grove on Them!
Drummer duels are incredible.
I think it's because they try to out-drum each other, and it brings out the best in both of them.
You'd like the grateful dead
not duels so much but Drums really goes far into that
Kind of a dual, and kind of a duet. I don't know what kind of difference it made, but they had differing styles, the one in traditional snare style, the other holding both sticks straight. In any event, an interesting contrast and killer song.
I was 9, found my Dad's Ventures record, played it and when Wipe Out played I went absolutely nuts. That was many decades ago. I just found this you tube video tonight and am thrilled that I was able to experience the energy again that I felt back then at my current age. Their energy and sense of harmonic connection is timeless.
I had similar experiences with music throughout my childhood.
Of course, I be was listening to my dad's vinyl, in a "vacuum" devoid of outside influences. I didn't hear it on the radio, and mobody told me what to like. And yet, the songs and bands that captured me were also smash hits.
Wipeout and Walk don't Run birth fascinated me. Another one for me was BOC "Don't Fear the Reaper".
I only discovered that they were popular songs later. I think that says something about great music.
The original song was by the Surfaris. I still have the original 45 vinyl single. The version on this video is all over the shop.
@@MartyTheAussie Here is The Safaris version; czcams.com/video/p13yZAjhU0M/video.html. Not bad but the Ventures cover is an improvement on the original.
@@bodhiapurva3887- "Wipe Out" was a memorable improvisation to fill Side B for "Surfer Joe" in 1963. The Surfaris were some kids trying to play like the surf star of the moment, Dick Dale and they should have full credit. The difference of THIS video is made by Max Weinberg's guest appearance making a drum-duet with Mel Taylor. I don't know if it was released as an album.
The best drumming shoot out ever. I could watch them all night. FANTASTIC!
Сто раз смотрю и слушаю,а сегоня сто первый и не перестаю восхищаться этой этой группой.bravo...P.S. мне 72.г.
The consistent smooth transitions between the 2 drummers is amazing
I was thinking the same thing -- it's like flawless baton handoffs in a relay race.
Both drummers had the best day of their life
I have watched this video numerous times and it never gets old. Awesome performance!
The ventures were awesome,, Love this clip with 2 drummers, Everyone is having such a good time
The dueling drummers made Wipe Out happen! So cool and the acknowledgment between the two drummers at the end was so cool! Awesome and timeless.
PS The drummer with the cool shirt hair and the glasses is Max Weinberg he used to drum for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and was the band leader and drummer on the Conan O'Brian Show in the beginning
I am addicted to the drum sequences😟. Can't stop coming back again, again and again to this video. Help me!
The guitar riff comes in so smooth blending on the end of the drum sets. This has to be the surfers anthem. No one has done it as well as this group.
Wow I always loved that and the good looking drummers 😅😮🎉🎉
Back in the 60's my high school band played this song at every pep rally in the gym. We could never get enough of it.
I’ll be 77 yo in a couple of months. Thank you for the great 🎶 music 🎶. Gracias.
To me this is one of the best drum solos ever Awesome :-)
WOW. Must go down as one of the best drumming records ever.
Actually far from. You can't compare those old people surfer show band rythm guys to real drummers.
@@CarlosGonzalez-ml8jl you're*. Maybe learn English before you call people stupid
NEVER get tired of listening to this, OR watching the videos of them performing!!! THIS is 'classic' music at its BEST!!!
Im only 19 and love these tracks. Thanks to my grandparents❤
Been playing drums for 40 or so years. I'll never forget this song. 1st song I ever learned. My dad, his friend on bass and me. I was 10 or 11. Great song!
I absolutely love that you'll never see someone on drumset that doesn't want to be there, its always just happy, good vibes.
My son bought my little grandson a set of really nice electronic drums, throne, headset, & of course some nice drumsticks for his 9th birthday last year & the for Christmas he got a great amplifier for them. He's doing really well on them. 😊
Charlie Watts is the exception. Looked like he was going to a funeral for the past sixty years.
On this day 100 years ago Rocco Francis Marchegiano was born in Brockton, Massachusetts. He is known to the world as Rocky Marciano. He retired with a pro record of 49 fights 49 wins 43 knockouts 🥊🙏
Loved the Ventures, at 76 still love listening to them. My first ever 45 was Walk Don't Run by The Ventures
I was like wow... is that Max.. .and it was! Loved this music, my dad used to play this all the time on his guitar.
My father had a beautiful baritone voice and sang in a country western bandand when we were growing up we would go for long rides in our '47 Studebaker and my father would sing country western songs which we preferred to what the radio had to offer. Of course Ghost Riders was our favorite although there were many others. Wonderful memories ❤️.
Rest in peace Don Wilson.
Passed yesterday..
Last of the original Ventures.
The drummer on the left is Max Weinberg of the E Street Band
I wish I had a dollar for every comment on here asking if that's Max Weinberg. I'd have enough to buy a ticket to see Max playing on Bruce's tour this year.
This was and still is my favorite song...I'm 70 and still love it. My parents used to tell turn it down...I still blast it 🤣.😎😎😎😎
I second that comment, and now there's no one telling you to turn it down, put it up to Eleven, Rock "n" Roll should be Loud!, this is one of my favourite tracks of all time, and I do personally like this cut by the Ventures best, but Kudos to the Surfaris for coming up with Wipeout in the first place, but as is so often the case when a really good band cover something, they make it their own, and this will always be associated with the Ventures
Even after all of these years I still love this song
Even after listening 40 times, still get goosbumps. See them playing in Japan '65.
I went to high school with Max Weinberg...CHS...Maplewood, New Jersey...Class of '68
Loved the music they played ! Loved the songs like Hawwi Five 0 theme The Out of Space album that they made in the 60s which I used to play so much ages 8 till I was 20 ! It was my sister s album ! Loved all the songs they have played !
I'm still playing this music in my two bands at age 68. Great music!!
Thanks Gary, glad to hear that you and your band mates are keeping our childhood alive! What a fun time that was. Some of us are still having fun!
Giving all their best in their instrument . Makes one feel like also giving one's best on the dance floor. Hats off to all of you 💖
My parents enjoyed dancing to this music on News Year Eve parties.
I actually enjoyed listening and watching them play. They did a great job.
Awesome! Still one of my favorite tunes today. The drummers are great!
Wow...Max Weinberg of the Conan O'Brien show! The Ventures were cool!
THIs takes me back, what a pair of fantastic drummers.brilliant
Their enthusiasm is contagious ! They really enjoy what they are doing.
I love this. I want this exact version played at my wedding and my funeral.
They are actually superhuman... specially those drummers...OMG !!
Absolute classic, how many of us were brought to music by sounds such as this! Thanks for sharing this, unforgettable...
The ENERGY of these guys is UNMATCHED today!
Смотреть и слушать можно бесконечно бесконечно!!!
Such a great drum beat between to great drummers I was very fortunate to be in a group and two of the best amazing drummers you can imagine
i've been a Queen fan for 45 yrs, but the joy on their faces playing this is great, how could 3000 people not like this? it's fabulous
@@lindaflatman6976 i guess not, its just such a happy film no matter who you like or not, they are clearly having fun!
@@Mihoyminoy124 were you old enough and lucky enough to see them? i was 🤯 👑✊🇬🇧
I am only 40 I was raised on the kind of music Wish there was music like it still being played ! ! ! !
Aaaah the primal joy of drumming! Happy 2023 everyone!
No one can top the Ventures when it comes to music and those drums. I could watch the drummers everyday
Perfectly Electrifying! I love this live performance!
I use to dance by this song many years ago,❤, still love the song, thank you for boys, good job ❤
They are geniuses
I love ❤️ the vibrancy an pulsating beat of this. Superb melody. 👌👍👏❤️
*Прошло уже много лет, но мне такая музыка до сих пор не надоедает. Продолжаю слушать с удовольствием.🎵👍😃*
Аналогично 🤘, но как много лет, имею интерес спросить? Эти вещи живут в моей фонотеке : рок 50-60. Моё детство и юность имело начало на этой музыке👏
As old as this song is I never get tired of that drumming! Love it!❤
I went to a Catholic grade school & when I was in second grade this song was popular. We would bang out the song on our desks. Drove the nun we had as a teacher crazy. She soon had a no wipeout policy in class. We would have to stay after school if we did this in class.
+Ken Shifflett: Ken, any relation to the late Pat Shifflett of Tucson, Az? He/his family I think originated around Kansas City. Thanks-
Sensational drumming by both drummers!! Great rendition. Thanks for posting.
This is still the best ever in the music world, can not help but smile. Loving the Ventures❤
After watching this glorious video, who would not want to DO Max Weinberg?!?!
Loved this song as a kid and still love drummer solos.
😊😃I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 the song but when last did you play it
This song has stood the test of time!! AWESOME
A heavenly dedication to Rik Berg & Rick Robinson. Two great drummers in my life. Greatly missed.
It was a great time to be alive. I have so many great memories of those days gone by. Life was nothing but fun from the time you woke up, till the time you went to bed.
Bellos recuerdos de mi adolescencia..... Fuí un gran fan de The Ventures. Lo mejor.
Best drum playing i ever seen/heard in my life!!! Super beautiful drums playing
im 97 and i still groove to this everyday, take me back to 2008!!!!
Long before Dueling Banjo's there were dueling drums, best instrumental/jam of all time.
I love watching the two guitarist, they are superb, and I love watching or listening this music by the Ventures.
I don"t know how many "ICONIC" songs there ....but this defiantly one of them.Thanks you to the Ventures
Unquestionably the best rendition of this iconic song ever played.
Steve Hammond You should listen The Ventures live in Japan - 1966, and you’ll sure understand what version is the best one....
I’m only 83 yrs old and I still love this fantastic music
Im 70 years young and l've been a rocker from my childhood years and I still love to listen to old time rock n roll. I also have a great love for guitar groups. Of course the Ventures my favourite. I have a selection of records of them.
Music......the ultimate time machine (:
They were one of the best if not the best ever.
I too.65
Family use to say how can you listen to your son playing drums upstairs, I would say because he is very good and Happy
