Surf's Up: a Beach Boys Podcast Safari episode: Bobby Figueroa on drumming with the band.


Surf's Up: a Beach Boys Podcast Safari episode: 

Bobby Figueroa on drumming with the band.


Bobby was hired by Dennis Wilson as a Beach Boys percussionist in 1974. He would go on to drum in the band with Ricky Fataar and then Dennis, sometimes with kits side by side. When Dennis was unable to play, Bobby took over on his own. Over 15 years, he was present for the group's mid-70s ascendancy, Beachago, Brian Wilson Is Back, Pacific Ocean Blue, and the biggest concerts the group ever played. 

In this candid chat, he recounts all the heady highs and tragic lows.
