The Nelson rhythm first started with the "teen beat" sound—a sound that thrust him into international fame before you could say "sock hop." He adapted his devastating beat to the great vocal hits and made them instrumental masterpieces. "Teenage House Party" made Sandy's brand of music THE party word for the young set—whenever and wherever things were happening, Sandy was happening. And that hasn't changed.

Then Sandy packed up his drums and went to the nation's number one entertainment showplace, Las Vegas, and etched his instrumental mark in the hearts of even the most sophisticated of the Las Vegas entertainment connoisseurs. Sandy Nelson just couldn't miss.

Now Sandy has come up with a personal kind of big boogaloo beat. And it sounds great. But what's so surprising— this young drummer has been on top of the music scene since he stopped beating his knife and fork on his dinner plate, and started channelling his ability into a snare and bass drum.
