Gene Krupa
evolving_machine said:
I realize this is an old thread. However, can someone recommend some CDs of clear sounding recordings of Gene Krupa. I also realize that in this day of down loading music I am probably the last of those who still purchase CDs.
I am looking for a clear recording because I always liked Krupa&#;s bass drumming but was never able to get a very clear recording of it. The pedals of this time were primative and Krupa demonstrated a great right foot despite the limitations of the hardware.Click to expand
I&#;m not sure of exact recordings, but I imagine some of the live recordings and later studio recordings (early 70&#;s??) would have good sound quality, but for me they lack the excitement of his work with big bands. I&#;ve listened to some of the live recordings from this period (on ), but again I can&#;t give an exact example
Does anyone know what kind of patterns he used in his solos? Such as these:

I&#;m not wanting to copy note for note what he did (as if I could!), I&#;m just interested in learning to play some of the things he did, to give me a little bit of fun outside of lessons/pad practice/kit practic

Gene Krupa
The first drummer to be a superstar, Gene Krupa may not have been the most advanced drummer of the s &#; but he was in some ways the most significant. Prior to Krupa, drum solos were a real rarity and the drums were thought of as a merely supportive instrument. With his good looks and colorful playing, he became a matinee idol and changed the image of drummers forever.
Gene Krupa made history with his first record. For a session in with the McKenzie-Condon Chicagoans, he became the first musician to use a full drum set on records. He was part of the Chicago jazz scene of the s before moving to New York and worked in the studios during the early years of the Depression.
In December he joined Benny Goodman&#;s new orchestra and for the next three years he was an important part of Goodman&#;s pacesetting big band. Krupa, whose use of the bass drum was never too subtle, starred with the Goodman Trio and Quartet, and his lengthy drum feature &#;Sing, Sing, Sing&#; in was historic. After he nearly stole the show at Goodman&#;s Carnegie Hall Concert, Krupa and Goodman had a personality conflict and the former soon departed to form his own orchestra.
