American rock musicians showed that purely instrumental performances could be honored into hit singles, without any help from lead singers, way back in the Fifties. It was all part of the rock 'n' roll explosion and despite the adulation for stars like Fabian and Elvis, there was room for players like fine young drummer Sandy Nelson in the charts too. His pounding performance of 'And Then There Were Drums' kicks off this consistently entertaining set that focus on bands like Johnny & The Hurricanes, The Ventures and B. Bumble & The Jaywalkers doing their thing. Peter's band was one of the first to feature a double drum kit with flashing lights. TRACK LISTING: 1. And Then There Were Drums 2. Swinging Creeper 3.
