An aunt said to me that when I could play this, that I would be a good drummer.
For those that aren't familiar with the original version by the Surfaris which isn't as good as that Ventures version:
One thing that I will point out though is that as amazing some drumming looks, it's actually easier on some levels (especially if we're talking about the original Surfaris version) than playing a more syncopated rhythm, a funky rhythm, because that requires more coordination between the hands and feet to hit and accent things in different timings, not to mention ghost notes.
Back when I still played drums, there would be some drummers that could play really wild and fast (props to them of course), and I wouldn't be able to play like them, but then I would lay down a funky groove and they just couldn't do it.
not comparing myself to the man though
