My first Willy Nilly production concerned military snare drum work in pop and rock tunes. My old friend Michael Lally responded to the post by pulling my coat to the opening credits of “Blackboard Jungle,” which commence with outstanding solo military drum rolls and flourishes, and the make a brilliant segue into Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock.” I found these opening credits on YouTube. Check it out here.
Thanks Michael…

cool Willy, but I noticed listening to it on this Youtube clip it sounds like it might be two different drummers the tone of the intro is deeper and better produced to my ear, making me think they hired a good jazz drummer and had him listen to the Bill Haley recording and slowly evolve from the military drum roll to a mix of that and what Haley's drummer does in the song, anyway that was my take.
