Drum Student Luke plays one of the great classic rock songs, the Summer of 69! This is a fun song to learn with a fast beat. The beat stays fairly simple so it is a great way to get your drumming speed up. It also has some very fast paced drum fills which, when taking into account the speed, could be considered advanced. Luke started playing the drums very young and has a great aptitude for learning. I think he pulls off this song nicely in a single take. Wait to go Luke! Student's generally love learning this song and many others.
