To take a break from the heavy-duty stuff about quantum mechanics, here is a clip of The Ventures playing the theme from the TV program Hawaii Five-O.
I never get tired of this clip. Apart from the fact that The Ventures are one of the great guitar instrumental groups, this one features not one but two drummers driving the beat. One is their regular drummer but here he is joined by the legendary Max Weinberg.
It is astonishing how the two drummers stay synchronized throughout the complex song, even the drum solo.
Not really astonishing. It is the job of the drummer(s) to keep the rhythm and timing. That is their specialty. I have seen other rock bands with two drummers. Why would you think it would be harder for two drummers to be in sync than say two guitarists, or for that matter, the whole band? Professional musicians are very talented or they wouldn’t be professionals.
Very nice — thanks Mano! I never liked the Ventures’ original studio version of this song. To me it always seemed dull and mechanical compared with the actual theme from the TV show. But this rendition is cool, especially with the video.
