Dana Carvey's drum solo in Wayne's World
DANA CARVEY
He is worthy! For inclusion on this list! As Garth Algar, bewigged and bespectacled sidekick to public-access TV metal head Wayne Campbell, Carvey showed off his drumming chops on Saturday Night Live and in the movies. And while Garth may have had some memorable guest stints sitting in with Aerosmith and U2, for my money, Carvey's best drumming was done in a dress — as the frumpy but surprisingly funky Church Lady.
