Sandy Nelson Sander L. Nelson is an American drummer . Nelson, one of the best-known rock drummers of the early 1960s, had several solo instrumental Top 40 hits and was a session drummer on many other well-known hits, and released over 30 albums. He lives in Boulder City, Nevada , and continues to experiment with music on keyboards and piano .Career His first recording, with a band called the Renegades, was "Geronimo", written by Venet, produced by Kim Fowley , and released on the Original Sound Records label. Although it flopped on the national charts, it charted in some of the Mid West markets. The song, along with "Charge", is part of the soundtrack of 1959 film Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow released by American International Pictures . Nelson attended high school with Jan Berry , Dean Torrence , and Kim Fowley. After gaining respect as a session drummer, he played on such songs as "To Know Him Is To Love Him", "Alley-Oop", and "A Thousand Stars". His instrumental recording "Teen Beat", on Original Sound Records, rose to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1959. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc . Subsequently, he signed with the Imperial label, and pounded out two more Top 40 hits, "Let There Be Drums", which went to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 , and "Drums Are My Beat". In December 1961 , the British music magazine, NME , reported that "Let There Be Drums" had gone Top 10 in both the United Kingdom and United States . All three were instrumentals. Guitar playing on these hits was by co-writer Richard Podolor , later a songwriter and record producer . Near the end of 1963, Nelson was in a motorcycle accident. The injuries necessitated amputation of his right foot and part of that leg. Nonetheless, Nelson continued to record into the early 1970s, releasing two or three albums a year, consisting of cover versions of popular hits plus a few original compositions. In September 2008 , Nelson and a few friends, recording as Sandy Nelson and the Sin City Termites, released a new record of original compositions, Nelsonized , on the independent Spinout label. Other band members included Eddie Angel, Remi Gits, and Billy Favata of Torturing Elvis.Discography and CashboxSingles "Teen Beat" / Big Jump—Original Sound 5 "Drum Party" / "Big Noise From Winnetka" — Imperial 5630 "Party Time" / "The Wiggle" — Imperial 5648 "Bouncy" / "Lost Dreams" — Imperial 5672 "Cool Operator" / "Jive Talk" — Imperial 5708 "Big Noise From The Jungle" / "Get With It" — Imperial 5745 "Let There Be Drums" / "Quite A Beat" — Imperial 5775 "Drums Are My Beat" / "The Birth Of The Beat" - Imperial 5809 "Drummin' Up A Storm" / "Drum Stomp" - Imperial 5829 "All Night Long" / "Rompin' & Stompin'" - Imperial 5860 "...And Then There Were Drums" / "Live It Up" - Imperial 5870 "Teenage House Party" / "Day Train" — Imperial 5884 "Let The Four Winds Blow" / "Be Bop Baby" — Imperial 5904 "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" / "Feel So Good" — Imperial 5932 "You Name It" / "Alexes" — Imperial 5940 "Here We Go Again" / "Just Bull" — Imperial 5965 "Caravan" / "Sandy" — Imperial 5988 "Drum Shack" / "Kitty's Theme" — Imperial 66019 "Castle Rock" / "You Don't Say" — Imperial 66034 "Teen Beat" '65 / "Kitty's Theme" — Imperial 66060 "Reach For A Star" / "Chop Chop" — Imperial 66093 "Let There Be Drums '66" / "Land Of 1000 Dances" — Imperial 66107 "Drums A Go Go" / "Casbah" — Imperial 66127 "A Lover's Concerto" / "Treat Her Right" — Imperial 66146 "Sock It To 'Em, J.B." / "The Charge" — Imperial 66193 "Pipeline" / "Let's Go Trippin'" - Imperial 66209 "The Drums Go On" / "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" — Imperial 66246 "Peter Gunn" / "You Got The Hummin'" - Imperial 66253 "Rebirth Of The Beat" / "The Lion In Winter" — Imperial 66350 "Manhattan Spiritual" / "The Stripper" — Imperial 66375 "Let There Be Drums And Brass" / "Leap Frog" — Imperial 66402 "Sapporo '72" / - United Artists 50830 "Dance With The Devil" / "Sunshine Of My Life" — United Artists 383 "Drum Tunnel" / "Boogie #5" — Veebletronics 1 "Hunk Of Drums" / "Witch Hunt" — Veebletronics 2 "A Drum Is A Woman" / "Boogie #5" — Veebletronics 3Albums NOTE: There were separate Cashbox charts for stereo and mono albums until 1965Sandy Nelson Plays Teen Beat — Imperial 9105 /12044 He's A Drummer Boy — Imperial 9136/12089 Let There Be Drums - Imperial 9159 /12080 Drums Are My Beat - Imperial 9168 /12083 Drummin' Up A Storm - Imperial 9187 /12189 Golden Hits - Imperial 9202/12202 Country Style — Imperial 9203/12203 Compelling Percussion — Imperial 9204/12204 Teenage House Party — Imperial 9215/12215 The Best Of The Beats — Imperial 9224/12224 Beat That Drum — Imperial 9237/12237 Sandy Nelson Plays — Imperial 9249/12249 Be True To Your School — Imperial 9258/12258 Live!
