Always have been a fan of the Ventures - Just stumbled on this by accident.
From wikipedia:
Needing a permanent drummer for The Ventures group after George T. Babbitt, Jr. dropped out because he was not old enough to play night clubs and bars, they hired Howie Johnson and, in the midst of a fast-paced touring schedule, recorded an album to capitalize on the success of the single. (Babbitt went on to become a 4-star general in the USAF and on March 1, 1998, he played live in uniform on drums with the band.)
Here is the video link of the 4-Star General in uniform playing drums:
