Gene had it all...charisma, charm, good looks and could swing.
His strength was not his chops - even though he had them in abundance - rather his musicality. He could take a simple phrase and play it a million ways, all while making you dance!
This is actually a great drum lesson-paradiddles, two and three stroke rolls, etc. A true legend!
Gene Krupa was a master painter with those sticks. Others were faster, but they were painting barns while Krup was painting masterpieces. The most musical of them all.
@icalabr999,others were faster? Krupa was faster then all of them.When you dig deeper into Krupa,he was very fast.
@@spaniardmartinez6896 You’re just wrong. Look up any drum solo w buddy rich for example.
@willy R,Krupa didn’t prioritize in speed,He had it,but didn’t flaunt it often,where as buddy rich prioritized in speed,and had a ego to go with it,he was always just about speed.Buy if you are impressed with speed,watch Joe cusatis who was a peer to Krupa and rich! Watch Romain goulon a today drummer who has incredible speed.
It’s not just about the speed. It’s about the sound…music. We all know about Mr. Rich’s speed…but how about he (and Krupa) drove their bands. Speaking of driving a band…Jo Jones. Lest we forget, we call it “show business,” which implies showmanship. People love (and loved) WATCHING them. They packed the house…every night.
Agree.
He really had it all. Great drumming ability, swing, hip credentials, good looks, etc. I have since delved into different jazz drummers like Elvin, Philly, Roy Haynes...Krupa though is a guy who I'll always love and respect.
with the passage of time...people forget what came before - or don't know 👋👋
I used to watch Mike Douglas every day after school. He always had a co-host on for the whole week and I ran home every day when Buddy Rich co-hosted. He also had John Lennon a whole week. His show is a treasure trove of famous musicians and celebrities. Thanks for the Gene Krupa segment.
What a great swinging performance by Gene. A man of great taste and humility! A real LEGEND!
a lesson in dynamics there is enough information in his drumming here to keep any drummer learning and practicing for months and those old Slingerlands sound killer with Krupa behind them
A great drummer but a better guy. He was at one time the name that popped into your head when someone said drummer. He influenced generations of great drummers. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.
No body ever could play drum fills like Gene. He style never rushed and off the accented beats are so natural
@@thomasmolloy5325 A lot of people say that Buddy Rich was a better drummer than Gene Krupa just because he was faster. Buddy Rich may have been faster than Gene Krupa but it doesn't necessarily mean that he was better than him.
@@Hotters9060 I personally think that Gene Krupa was a much more musical drummer than Mr Rich !
@@vincentallen947 That I have to agree with. I don't understand why people would say that Buddy Rich was a better drummer than Gene Krupa.
@@Hotters9060 In pure technical aspects, there were and are drummers who have more technique, But, in terms of making the drums "fit" into the overall music mosaic of a song, Gene was and is with parallel.
Gene's got a great feel for swing. Articulate yet attuned with a dynamic creative flow.
old school with those nice little fills. Gene Krupa and Chick Webb and Cozy Cole and Joe Jones started it all
My very favorite Drummer!
me too!
Mike Douglas had everybody on his show he was great !.. much respect... RIP
I remember being stunned when I heard my idol gene ,the nicest guy you would ever meet died.
When Mike went on the drum riser he said to Gene "when I talk to you I should beat off" ! Now that is a real fan...LOL
Laughing out loud (lol)
Nice understated comment....you're a master (I won't say at what....LOL). He should have said "count off," I'm sure you know that. Hard to say if it was inadvertent or an intentional joke. I'm guessing scripted joke, especially given the follow up scripted rap. If scripted, really gutsy. If inadvertent, Fruedian.
Wow! And yes Mike Douglas is a singer. When you tube works magic this is the perfect example. Never seen. I was a kid in 1966. Very nice. And Gene is a gentleman and excellent percussionist!
Gene, such a delightful gentleman.
His facial expressions are so great. Always has a sense of wonder and suspense like "what's going to happen next? Hang on!"
Gene Krupa is a hell of a showman and a very class act, and he can really make them skin sing!!!!!!!
And, he was a great person. Used to play at his house in Yonkers while my dad Benny Moten played bass with him. Legend!!!
Gene admitted that he did not have the technical chops of Buddy or Louie Bellson, but he had style, soul, heart, and of course tremendous showmanship! In the '30's and 40's, he had matinee idol/movie star good looks. He was also a nice, humble man.
That was him humble, he had it
@@caseygill8336 Gene Krupa was still a good drummer and I don't care what anyone has to say. Just because Buddy Rich was faster than Gene Krupa it doesn't mean that he was better than him at drumming.
Gene was already over his top with some kilos more than in this time, but in this "Caravan" (Duke Ellington, of course) you can see the camels trotting through the sand thanks to Gene's rhythm.
@@Hotters9060 Yes, I agree. It's not just about speed and technique. It's about feel. Gene was a tremendous swinger and time keeper as well.
@@joecaroselli5858 People say that Buddy Rich is a better drummer than Gene Krupa just because he is faster but I think, that is nonsense. Buddy Rich is a good drummer and he is one of my favorites but he is not a better than Gene Krupa in my opinion.
Gene Krupa was a very good time keeper and he was technical behind the drumkit. I also like other jazz drummers like Art Blakeley, Elvin Jones and Pa pa Jo Jones too.
Awesome , but the dude that fell down the stairs was friggin funny. Didnt expect that !
This video perfectly sums up what Gene krupa is all about. What showmanship. Thank you so much for posting this.
I remember Mike Douglas's show was on weekday afternoons at 4.
Beautiful...........We are so lucky having these Videos available!
Gene was a groove master.
WOW,,,,nice phrases from Gene....the stuff really means something.
I really loved Gene's very tasteful trading two and one measures with Mike on "Cute." He just played with such restraint and understated coolness along with delicious humor! It was such a joy to watch. Mike Douglas was also a fine singer, and had such a nice way about him. My Mom loved him.
Joe Caroselli played with restraint...best observation I read.
He made it look so easy, this great drummer, who wasn’t full of himself like other s were! I thought he was great, a leader in his own style, never conceited and so good looking,
Another great clip of Gene and the Quartet!!!! I remember these Mike Douglas shows from the 60's I was 12 when this aired :-)
Gene Krupa, My favourite! Just oozes rhythm.
Buddy could out-speed Gene and out-technique him, but nobody could play the toms like Gene.
Great clip...i was always a Gene and Buddy fan...You can see where Buddy got alot of ideas from!
Chic Webb was someone Buddy said influenced him, besides Buddy was given a double anointing. He was a drummer from his mother's womb.
My friend Charlie Bedell saw Gene several times.Gene was a great musician and a super guy.
Fantastic sense of rhythm gene krupa had enjoyed this performance so much many thanks for the upload
One of the greatest drummers to ever play for us.
Love him, I feel he is often underrated
He's #1 of all time dude. By definition there's no way to underrate #1. Unless you think his cred should transcend time, but since time is his business if he transcended time then he would be "beyond" time, then he wouldn't be a great keeper of time would he? I feel it's only you that underrates him. Everyone else thinks he's #1.
@Thelarrybrown,by far Krupa is number1.
The King Of Swing ..🥁
Krupa was the overall best drummer; most influential of all times. Let's remember Papa Joe Jones too!
That's why Krupa and Max Roach are my favs...style along with cool
Gene Krupa plays to the People!
One more thing, watching him play I always thought was like watching a Master chef make a kick ass dish. 🙂🥁
The tenor saxophone player was identified by Mike Douglas on a show from 1965 as Carmen Leggio. Krupa also played with Eddie Shu on tenor at a jazz festival in Evansville, Indiana eight months later on November 6th. In 2018, Dot Time records released a CD of eight tunes from that appearance.
a masterclass in Drumming = the Drum Great !!
When we practice, remember to include smiling! Watch Gene's smiles - infectious!
Watching many drum performances over many years, then watching the legend, Krupa...who needs "a thousand drums" when playing when a real master like Gene Krupa could make wonderful beat with just the classic "trap drum set " of his famous white pearl Slingerlands he performed on.
Awesome,right in the pocket. Shalom.
Awesome stuff. Amazing music. Thank you for posting.
Often if you concentrate too much on technique you lose feel. Gene had the greatest feel of any drummer of his era. Along with plenty of technique to express himself.
@robert davoy,exactly!
Trooper was a good friend and a great teacher I learned a lot from him before he passed. And I still listen to all of his recordings. 🥁
Its cool that i am related to him lol
@gregory Krupa,serious?
😎👍🥁🇺🇸🇵🇱GO GENO GO!
Polish pride from Chicago's southside!
@mattew paluch,Yes,go gene go!!🇪🇸
Well. For me, as a drummer, it is trying to cop some licks he is doing here. Especially the part at the very beginning, where he is doing something rudimental, I think it is a Flam Tap snare to ride cymbal, which he follows up with a Paradiddle figure on the snare before going into the rhythm with which he states the Caravan theme (snare to both toms).
What a masterpiece! Thanks for sharing. The King of Swing ! ❤️
That kids is called dynamics. A lost art.
I finally got to see the lyrics to Cute after all these years.
I played that song in the SUNY jazz band back in 1994 but couldn't get any reference to it outside of the music chart.
I drummed it at a intercollegiate judged competition with the band relatively close to the form, but loved the vocals to bring it to me, as it was more intact like that between the drum breaks to the phrasing of the vocals
Thanks for posting this gem. Highly enjoyable!
Excellent.
Very smooth.
Tremendous playing of drums in 6/8 time.
interesting arrangement, eh?
That was Great !!!!
Polish pride of the southside
of Chicago!
YES INDEED!!!!
Freaking awesome
Wasn't that fast, but ooooh what feel.
FAST isnt everything some of the grooviest guys keep it real steve gadd ,gene here , carlos vega ,loads of others .
@@bobbydtv1 Great comment. You just named three of my favorite drummers.
I prefer the space Gene gives between notes to a lot of faster drummers.
Still here in 2010....Father of the drum set up
Tasty and Classy Drumming I love it!!!
Un baterista demasiado genial e inolvidable.
Wow, switching from single to double and triple stroke rolls seamlessly and ambidextrously... I'm sitting behind my kit watching this for inspiration, but I think I just gave up playing.
G.K. The greatest of all time.
I think that's Dave McKenna on piano. MD broadcast in the afternoon...I was in school and missed this show.
I think so also!
Mike Douglas (11 de agosto de 1925-11 de agosto de 2006) fue un artista y presentador televisivo estadounidense.
Gene Krupa (15 de enero de 1909-16 de octubre de 1973) fue un afamado e influyente músico estadounidense de jazz y un gran baterista de big band, conocido y reconocido por su enérgico y brillante estilo de tocar. Ampliamente considerado como el baterista más influyente y popular del siglo XX. [1] Es el primer baterista solista de la historia. [2]
3/9/66 I was at this boarding school in northern Vermont..this wouldn't have been on the TV there;would've been Shindig or Hullabaloo.
paradidle groove intro.
Don't forget Ringo Morello. Classic!
Sandy Nelson couldn't play in the same zip code as Gene, but check out Sandy's rendition of "Caravan" on this network. Pretty sweet.
Gene Krupa is the origin of Keith Moon!
OMG! I was just sayin this last night as I BINGED on Gene videos till 3am. Your the first comment Ive seen referencing this..LOL. My words were " He's the KM of the 20s". Those really early performances , ya instantly form the image of Keith LIVE on My Generation.😎
12:23 -- Associate Producer: Roger Ailes!
At 5:50, I think Mike meant to say " count off."
Lol
Great performance by Gene Krupa. Sax player has the melody for Caravan wrong, though. The actual ends of those phrases aren’t straight chromatic scales.
The Themen should be in Double time Like in the Jo Jones Version, the triplets are great by Gene !!
He asked the woman he was dating at the time, Marie Allison, who she thought was the better drummer between himself and Buddy Rich. She told him she thought Buddy was the better. drummer. In 1953, she became Mrs. Buddy Rich.
1. Shorthand for laughing out loud, LOL is an abbreviation used in online chats or posts to indicate that the writer finds something humorous. LOL is also less commonly short for lots of laughter and laughing online and is also often substituted by LAL, LAWL (laughing a whole lot), LOLZ, LUL, and LULZ.
Finally, LAWL is also used as a slang term that phonetically spells out "lol" and is said in real-life or over VoIP.
Question: when he's keepining time on the high hat is he rocking his foot from heel to toes? It looks like he is, not lifting the foot up but rocking back and forth...
Is that Carmine Leggio on Tenor Sax?
Correct👍🏻
He was certainly better than when he battled Buddy on the Sammy Davis, Jr. show on February 25th of the same year. On that show, his playing seemed a bit discombobulated - for want of a better term. My thoughts were that he was somewhat intimidated going up against Buddy in a drum battle on national television. From what I've read elsewhere, whenever they got together, Buddy usually held back in order to not embarrass his good friend. That certainly wasn't the case that night, however.
Changes of pace not easy to do
If there is a band in Heaven ?? I hope Gene is kicking those traps!!!!
Apenas uma curiosidade:
Eu gostaria de saber, qual a razão de algumas pessoas assinalarem... "dislike".
Is that Dave McKenna on piano?????
1966 ..Gene was using Slingerland ( as always ). Buddy Rich was using Rogers.
Ringo was using Ludwig and making the most money..!!
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I guess you could also flip this around and say when Gene was the bees knees, making gobs of money, and probably bagging Hollywood stars / starlets, Ringo didn't even exist yet!
Did Gene make a comment about "Ringo Morello" lmao? Maybe making a joke about Joe?
Lou S
What jokes ?
@@roybeckerman9253 It sounded like Gene mentioned Ringo in a joke.
Lou S
I’m a big fan of both Gene and Ringo ( both were addicts at some time )
Soooooooo trippy weird
Great Polish American
the man is a RUDE BOY
He could easily fill in for Ian Paice in Deep Purple
Did you really just compare Ian Paice to Gene? Ian is a fucking child compared to Gene.
Buddy Rich was definately the better of the two technically wise, and for raw power, but for some reason or another I prefer Gene Kruper's beats better. It's like comparing two guitarists, Jimi Hendrix, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Yngwie is obviously the faster of the two and is most probably more technical, but Jimi Hendrix is always considered the world's greatest guitarist.
Hey Gene, pass me a reefer!
Gene Krupa was the Elvis Presley of the drums. He combined great talent with showmanship and appealed to both musicians and the the general public. My father saw Gene perform in Providence,RI. After the show my dad went across the street and into a small cafe. Minutes later, who walks in but Krupa himself. My father shakes his hand and compliments his performance. Gene sits down and has a hamburger and coffee with my dad.
John Polselli -That’s a great story. I never knew that he and Mike Douglas were such friends.
@@jeremysphincter1094 Glad you enjoyed the story, Jeremy. I wasn't born when that happened, but my father used to mention it often. At age 14 I was playing drums with a high school big band at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1981.Buddy Rich was the headliner, and I was able to hang out with him for a while. He gave me his autograph and encouraged me to keep playing. He was very nice. When I mentioned Gene Krupa, Buddy said
Gene was a true pioneer of jazz.
Hate to say it but, Buddy Rich was far Superior as a Drummer! It’s not even up for debate! Unfortunately, Rich was a Big Time JERK!
@scott pollach,na ,Gene was better then rich!
Worst thing I've ever heard Gene play.
NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH THIS DRUMMING PERFORMANCE...............SORRY!
