The Surfaris Wipe Out 1963

On June 22, 1963, the Surfaris' "Wipe Out" was released where it will enter the Billboard Hot 100 two weeks later and reach #2 by mid-August. 

Ron Wilson's energetic drum solo for "Wipe Out" (a sped-up version of his Charter Oak High School marching band's drum cadence) was beaten out on malt-shop tables all over the country, helping the song become one of the best-remembered surf instrumental tunes of all time.
