You go Sean! You rock on! I'm an almost 68-year old great grandma and I remember this song from my era. You have all my best wishes for a successful music career.
Most people think drumming this would be easy. But to keep the rolls going and going evenly takes skill and to accent each correct beat is an art! So people who say "I could do this!", think about what he is actually playing. - Words from another drummer :D
That was great,..... he hit three different drums on the rolls, just like the Safari's did!!! Great Job ! ! ! I'm 55 yo and have ALWAYS loved this song and to this day, can still "knuckle" this tune on ANY wood surface!!!
Great Job kid, Don't ever stop playing. You have a natural feel and ability that with some work and more studying you will be a great drummer. That was my first solo too, 25 years ago. :)
John Alferio are you kidding me!A 5 year old would NOT be able to play it, I play wipeout in a band and I'd like to see you say that it's easy after you try to play it
Not being a drummer myself, I find this to be a wonderful piece and enjoyed watching this kid enjoy what he was doing. I also like hearing the "woo" girls WOO him on.
People, don't say he sucks. He's just a kid and he played it pretty good I reckon :) But for people saying "lets see you do this etc." It's really not that hard to play, honestly
This kid is GOOD! Trust me he has a bright future if he stays with it. There aren't that many really good drummers out there. I saw a kid by the name of James Gordon Freeze play a long time ago when he was this kids age. I said the same thing about him. He did ok........
Listening to some classic music and came across this video, best one I've heard. Nice job. Wondering if you stuck with the drums. 16 years ago i was 1/2 the age I am now but still over the double the age you were then. How old am I? Haha. J/k. nice one man.
sorry..........I meant, I hate how girls go "woo" etc thats all. End of story, sorry if I sounded confusing or an idiot... anyway, I like this kid's drumming for a kid..its cool.. most drummers when I was 15 (around 1963) didnt even have his talent..NOT EVEN RINGO STARR........so this kid can go far if he stays with it
You go Sean! You rock on! I'm an almost 68-year old great grandma and I remember this song from my era. You have all my best wishes for a successful music career.
wow...this kid has the nuance of the timing in the rolls just perfect...sweet...took me forever to learn this song when i was a kid
He did a good job. Tell him one of his fans used to listen to that song 40 years ago, dancing and running around like a mad man.
Go Dale! I'd love to see your current skills! Kudos to Mom & Dad for their encouragement we need more kids and parents involved in music!

I use to do this on my desk in elementary school when the song was a hit. It would drive the teachers crazy. Great job kid!!
Still watching in 2021! You killed it!
Still watching in 2022 he is amazing he is motivating me to wanna learn drumset
When this song was on the charts us kids would drive the teachers mad because we could not resist banging this out on our desk!
hey k
With our index and middle finger on the edge of the desk.
That was great,..... he hit three different drums on the rolls, just like the Safari's did!!! Great Job ! ! ! I'm 55 yo and have ALWAYS loved this song and to this day, can still "knuckle" this tune on ANY wood surface!!!
loving this plus all the support he gets!!!lolol hearing them be enthousiastic even motivated me!!!good job!
Sean, You did an awesome job. Watching this in 2018 in Detroit, MI
Great Job kid, Don't ever stop playing. You have a natural feel and ability that with some work and more studying you will be a great drummer. That was my first solo too, 25 years ago. :)
One of numerous drum covers i like
Why do people think Wipeout is such a hard song to play? A 5 year old could play it!
Exactly.
jealous?????
Shut up you low life
John Alferio are you kidding me!A 5 year old would NOT be able to play it, I play wipeout in a band and I'd like to see you say that it's easy after you try to play it
I’m 62 and I can’t play it.
He's an excellent drummer, hot tip would be to listen to the actual recorded song, and play it with the correct drums!!! Still a great player!!
Great job young man, I listened to the Ventures when I was your age, on vinyl!
Great job, and I like your "ANIMAL" on the kit. Rock 'n Roll Forever. Peace everyone!
Lol love how the wee guys Animal muppet swings his legs when he hits the bass 👏👏👏👏
Congrats Sean on 1st place! You did a great job! Keep up the great work!
Not being a drummer myself, I find this to be a wonderful piece and enjoyed watching this kid enjoy what he was doing. I also like hearing the "woo" girls WOO him on.
Keep on playing son! Excellent!
Damn!! That little boy is good!!

I'm Ron Wilsons daughter. You would have made him proud! Keep drumming!

This kid is GOOD! Trust me he has a bright future if he stays with it. There aren't that many really good drummers out there. I saw a kid by the name of James Gordon Freeze play a long time ago when he was this kids age. I said the same thing about him. He did ok........
that kid has got talent
Good job kid. Anybody who wears a Led Zeppelin shirt @ that age has got to be good. You rock.
don't forget the stuffed 'ANIMAL' on the drum set...you know he's gotta be cool to get one of those, lol
Do you listen to Pink Floyd?
Awesome, you are one of the few "12 years old drummer" that can play drums really well. Congratulations
Well done Sean!
Jade Shannon e

He is my age. Nice one. Im working on this song
Listening to some classic music and came across this video, best one I've heard. Nice job. Wondering if you stuck with the drums. 16 years ago i was 1/2 the age I am now but still over the double the age you were then. How old am I? Haha. J/k. nice one man.
The kid did ok. He will improve in time but the main thing is he was enjoying himself. Leave the kid alone.
Great job buddy! Keep it up
Now that is a piece of endurance for any drummer!
