Jet Harris and Tony Meehan. The founder Drifters/Shadows bass guitarist and drummer. Jet Harris, one of the very first to use a bass guitar in a band. The later Shadows drummer, Brian Bennett was great with all his rock/metal layout, but Meehan showed how much could be done with a basic "jazz" kit e.g. The Savage, Frightened City, See You In My Drums instrumentals for three.
Foundational players in British rock.

I quite liked that, but entirely the wrong video for that type of music. It's pure surf, nothing deathly about that piece.
Diamonds enjoyed number one place in the UK um..1963 I think from memory. Lead played on a bass guitar tuned one tone down to D instead of E. The other was a track on one of the Shadows first LP's, showcasing Tony Meehan's drumming (not the whole LP).
Shows how we are tuned to certain types and sounds of music via our lives and environment. Like I said before, cello music sounds like a piece of wood being sawed on an empty 44 gallon drum to me. I was already tuned and like many young people, copying Shadows and other instrumentalists, by 1963. We had had several years of becoming accustomed to the new sounds of all sorts. "Progressive" jazz via Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck was up with the rock hits and featured highly on NZ hit parades. Orchestrals such as Theme From A Summer Place too, Sounds Unlimited and Russ Conway's stride piano from the UK etc. Not that stride piano was anything new, but Russ Conway had a distinctive style that was all his own.
I guess being Shen's age I had the privilege of being old enough to appreciate the beginnings and progressive development of rock 'n' roll in all its variations, from the mid-50's onwards.
It was a time of wonder, the "hard" rock of the 12 and 16-bar blues chords rock of Chuck Berry, Elvis etc, and the "crooning" rock (my descriptions) of Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson and the Everly Brothers. In amongst it all, various instrumentals of all types, piano and organ and the progressing emergence of the electric guitar which changed the world of modern popular music forever.

The second one was all right. Sort of somewhere between straight rock and rap. Only my immediate impression. Could get used to it quite easily, but the first one I doubt it.

Interesting Primus Factoid:
In 1986, Les Claypool, best known as the founder, lead singer, bassist, primary songwriter, and only continuous member of the funk metal band Primus, auditioned for the bassist spot in the rock group Metallica after the death of their bassist Cliff Burton.
He got turned down, and Metallica frontman James Hetfield remarked that Claypool was not offered the job because "he was too good" and "should do his own thing".

Toning things down to the near-geriatric, here's a popular instrumental.... I've always sort of liked Vic Mizzy's stuff...

Liked the first one, the second was all over the place too much for me. Try this one, Norrie Paramor does a good job of it too. Forget the Ventures version.
