The Greatest drummer with soul and showmanship.
Before there was Keith Moon there was Gene Krupa !!!Keith definitely got his style from Gene.Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.You couldn't get greater than Gene Krupa !!
Wow... That's a blast from the past... โค Saturday night, 7pm, New Zealand... Both Islands waited to see this..!! Anything from the States.. Two's Company, Chico and the Man, Welcome back Cotter, Happy Days, the Beverly Hill Billies even..!! โค It was all BBC here, back in the day... Oh yeah, Dukes of Hazzard, The A Team, Believe it or Not... ๐ A good stuff back then, in NZ.๐๐๐
You can see the guys in the first clip have their eyes glued to Gene, even while they're playing themselves! Massive smiles on every one of them as well. I couldn't imagine what it was like to see this man in his element.
Gene with the sublime Anita O'Day in "Drum Boogie". Great stuff, all this plus Roy Eldridge on trumpet !
GENE SET THE PACE FOR ALL OF US WHO WERE , ARE , AND FOREVER WILL BE DRUMMERS !! THE CLASS AND VERSATILITY HE SHOWED WAS SIMPLY AMAZING !! SHEER CLASS AND MY FAVORITE ALL TIME DRUMMER !!!!
Nobody is more amazing a drummer ever, man he's cool!
Gene, Buddy Rich, Louie Belson. All were masters but I think Gene and Buddy are the inspiration for modern rock drummers.
He's even an inspiration to me as a death metal drummer
I am old school. Krupa was my favorite and his drum solo's you could always the rhythm.

The best show when I was a kid, in New Zealand... American shows were what everyone here waited for, with baited breath... It was all BBC here then... ๐
What an inspiration for all new drummers in 2021.
Krupa kills it
Everybody compared him to Buddy but they were completely different drummers. Buddy was a technical wizard who will never be duplicated but he wasnโt as great at driving a band. (He would tell you different, of course, but recordings donโt lie). And Gene wasnโt nearly as technical but he had amazing showmanship and he could push the hell out of a band and was renowned as a dance floor favorite.
Gene's father hails from an area of Poland where Roma live. Wouldn't be surprised.
Gene Krupas Drum Roll Was Epic 3:11
Used to hear him at the Metropole in NYC.
Great Great Great no other words
