My first official drumset was a Gene Krupa Slingerland set. High hat one Tom on the bass and a one ride cymbal and a snare. I later added a floor Tom and another Tom with hardware to mount on bass. I did a lot of big band swing country and jazz and blues. I listened to Gene Krupa big band stuff and Buddy Rich and Sandy Nelson. I develop my on by combining all those. Loved it. Lou country and big band swing the most.
Jazz started in New Orleans and traveled up the Mississippi River to Chicago. What is not mentioned enough was the impact of Sanford Moeller on drum techniques and rudiments that gives you a lot techniques still used in modern drums. Where he totally wrong the first drum sets where very basic. A massive bass drum and snare no floor Tom, no mounted tom. You had two cymbal brackets Ludwig mad the Jazz’em up kit in like the 1920’s. Even before that it was known percussionists would combine different drums together to make drum set some you played by hand, some with sticks who did Gene Krupa play for Ludwig it make sense jazz drummers played for the company that pretty much made the first jazz kit which was smaller then Krupa drum set. You have to go to Louie Bellson for big drum sets. It’s just easier to haul small drum sets around vs big drum sets. In theory you can play jazz on any size kit.
Gene Krupa was a lifelong Slingerland endorser, not Ludwig. I think Ludwig missed out on getting him when his dad called their factory first and they didn’t pick up
@@robbasso893 I did say Gene played Ludwig because that what he would played as Kid before being sponsored by Slingerland. I said Ludwig made the first commercial drum sets which was smaller than Gene played yes so was Buddy Rich a Slingerland drummer a lot jazz drummers were as well as Ludwig which is the oldest drum maker of drum sets. Drummer before Gene played Ludwig. You didn’t see many double bass players till the 60’s in jazz like Rufus Speedy Jones of Duke Ellington big band or quartet as well as Count Basie who is play Slingerland drums

Sometimes having less forces you to "do more with less," and you are forced to get creative. You find ways to make those few drums sing in varying ways. You forced yourself to bring something "different" every verse, and that is a hallmark of Krupa's playing. That kind of creativity and exploring the nooks and crannies of what is possible comes through as human intelligence and artistry, and listeners respond to that.
Chick Webb the MAN who brought the drums to the forefront he did more for the drumset than anyone. If krupa were alive he'd be the first one to say it.
Krupa made the drummer a central figure of the band. Krupa also created the modern drumset as we know it and that explosive style imitated by Rich, Bellson, Shaughnessy and rock drummers like Keith Moon. Webb, Singleton, Baby Dodds were all pioneers but Gene changed the role of the drummer forever.

Who knew Sing Sing Sing was a cover song? Originally written and recorded by Louis Prima. One of the best covers of all time.
Thanks for uploading this vid.

I’d say Sonny Greer had the big drum set/contraption before many of them.
Very, very cool.
My dad would go to house parties in Chicago and Krupa would be there jamming. Couple of Chicago Polish boys.
Basic 4-piece kit, hi-hat, couple of cymbals...

Agreed! Here is a biography I did on Chick Webb with Chet Falzerano - ruclips.net/video/_Qps06gwv0E/видео.html
These guys brought the drum set to light and then Buddy stepped in nobody coukd touch him I do like Sonny Paine he was pretty great
@@josephgiarraffa6379 yeah buddy did a decent Chick webb.
Genes influence cannot be underestimated I'd say

Gene the Goat!
Krupa's drums were given to Mel Tormi
who's the narrator
Gene Krupa influenced a lot of drummers such as John Bonham and Keith Moon.
I still like Terry Bozzio's big kit!
Oh gene Krupa wow.....
I'm sure Terry Bozzio will agree !

The main man
Gene Krupa taught KISS drummer Peter Cris how to play drums.
I'd daybthe Bebop cats in New York City in the early 40s were doing that. Kenny "Klook Mop" Clarke, Max Roach, Art Blakely to name but a few.
So they went from whimsical setups with lots of variation between kits to standard sets that were pretty much the same. Cool I guess.
He even influenced metal guitarists.
👍💗🇺🇸🇵🇱 🥁🔥🎼💣🔊))GO GENO GO!!
Polish pride from Chicago's southside!
One of the reasons i prefer Bonham to peart! 😊
and these days ... El Estepario Siberiano RULES and he uses only a few drums and a few more cymbals
Neil peart: I beg to differ
“Big kits are bad!”
Can’t stand these elitists.
No. I want four thousand temple blocks. I mean yer simplification isn’t reality. Like saying a lo boy is better than a hihat. Stop speaking for gene
Mediocre drumming by a mediocrity.
How long have you played the instrument?
Most boring drum story ever😊
Krupa was the shit
then the opposite happened a few decades later
