For those starting off learning drums, a good place to start could be this link I just started learning it on my own, lets see how i progress with it !!

This one sounded very familiar when I heard it recently. Ah and then I figured there was a Simon and Garfunkel cover version I had been listening to all these years. The song called "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" in full in their album 'Bridge Over Troubled Water" But the original song was composed by a Peruvian composer, Danierl Alomia Robles in 1913 and based on a tradional Andean Folk tune. And here's the one I had been listening to all these years:

La Bamba one of my favourite songs from my school days. I loved the song then and still do. Even more now when I listen to the great guitar being played in the song. Didn't understand the Lyrics in Spanish then nor do I understand it now , but love the song !! Wondering how I remembered this song after all these years, well I finally watched the film today :) Music they say has no time boundaries and this song is one those. Its been around for over a century , being played in the Mexican Gulf but became a world wide hit after the movie by the same name .. Enjoy !
