Gene Krupa
Chicago 1909/ N.York 1973
Drums, Orchestra Director

He was a drum celebrity of Swing and was famous in the 20s for his long solos. Also he was one of the first to incorporate the bass-drum in his recordings. Krupa played and shone in his own orchestra and those of B. Goodman and T. Dorsey. His technical quality can be compared to that of today’s modern drummers. BUY
