Back in the late 60s and early 70s, Wipe Out was a pretty hip song.  Being a drummer, people would often ask, Can you play Wipe Out?  The perception was that the drum beat seemed difficult, when it is actually a very simple rhythm with a catchy beat.  It is more than a drum lick though, it is a groove that excites everyone.  My son Jason (who is an amazing drummer) used to teach people how to play the drums.  He was great at helping them find their inner rhythms.  Every time I hear this song, it reminds me so much of him.  I dedicate this song to Jason, which includes a drum solo at the end that he and I created together. - Jay Osmond
