That`s right; you nailed it; it`s that 'inexplicable extra something' that sets GK above the rest---from ANY generation. The man 'had sooo much SOUL he could barely control' !
I'm not sure I see pleasure there, seems to me a man tortured to express himself as much as he could. No disrespect, but Krupa, like Moon, has a bit too much wild flailing monkey style for me. Nonetheless, both huge influences.
Whether modern drummers know it, or not, Gene Krupa is who they're trying to be like. He started what many see as the quintessential drummer. Ragged hair, crazy face, hands flying, drum solos!
Gene Krupa made every member of the band sound 1000% better when he played. He played for the song and the band, and he elevated it all to a whole new level.
Gene Krupa, had a tremendous impact on every drummer that followed him, not just in the playing of the drum set, but in musical performance, he was also an entertainer.. there really is a difference between a musician and an entertainer... combine the two, and you get players who become stars, like Gene. I don't think there has ever been a more exuberant drummer, until say, Keith Moon, at least that I'm aware of. On these now 80 year old clips- his FEEL comes out of my computer monitor... like makes me want to go play my bass.. an amazing thing. I URGE any of you watching this, to find "Ball Of Fire" The movie is really great. The scene that follows the "Drum Boogie" production number, with Krupa in a booth with some of the cast, singing the words, and him playing "Drum Boogie" on a matchbox, is just wonderful.
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 !!
I have always been deeply inspired by Krupa's burning sense of swing. We tend to see him as a soloist, blurring chops, lots of notes but how many cats used space so, wonderfully almost painfully hip as he? Listen to those explosive tacits
I absolutely love the style and panache of Gene’s drumming& the sound of his kit also has an excitement all of its own. He swings & man does he do so. He is also a very musical player not just power-housing as of here. To round it all off he was a fine showman too. Yes he was also a fore runner of rock & roll & I dig all that too but dunno what Gene himself thought. I think he would have been kind. In the meantime GK was integral to the great swing era. The great Buddy Rich, another phenomenal drummer once said “Could you imagine jazz without Gene Krupa”? He was spot on, for it really would be unimaginable. Yours in drums Chris 🥁
Sal Mineo played Gene in the movie about Gene's life and he had when he was young banging around the house. Sal did a great job. I took lessons but stopped around 18 but lucky to keep the beat I still tap my fingers like I did at 13 14 years old I'm 75 now.
Gene had far more charisma than Buddy. He was my favorite and the father of the drum solo.Also a great gentleman with class. Gene was much better in his younger days, not saying better than Buddy, just better himself, before life and illness began to slow him down.. It's a shame the whole Buddy Gene drum battles came out later in Genes life when he had lost a step. I would like to have seen such a battle in Gene's hey day.
💯 Buddy might have been a better technical drummer but he was an ahole and he couldn't touch krupa's charisma and the fact that Krupa was an Buddy loved Krupa and looked up to him He had that natural thing going on. And a great personality which Buddy did not have.
Gene himself always said that Buddy Rich was the best there ever was, and Buddy always said that "none of us would even be doing it if it weren't for Gene. he's our leader". fair enough-- but Gene Krupa had more style and showmanship than any drummer ever, before or since
Buddy RICH giving credit to someone else!? ''STOP THE WORLD AND LET ME OFF!!''] joking aside and also granted that response was likely from 50 yrs ago BR will always be considered the Master and KRUPA will be the real granpappy of the drum solo!! I always respect my influences and they are definitely up there !!
B.Rich for me was a little bit of a circus act....great showmanship to please the crowd with flamboyant virtuoso speed, but not to much of an artistic input....while Krupa mixed it all, great touch, felling, groove and showmanship.....ofr me the real pioneer of modern drumming. Buddy Rich was great, but you can't really comare his artistic legacy with the ones of Krupa, Joe Morello, Elvin Jones or Art Blakey
@Randian Winn I don't agree the BR was a better drummer than GK. BR was definitely faster than him. But that doesn't make him better. But, that's just my opinion, obviously. Both were legends, no doubt.
I don't concern myself with whether Buddy or Gene was "better." I've always loved them both, I'll continue to listen to the music of each of them. And I suspect that the rest of civilization will too, for as long as there still is civilization.
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.
Wonderful, incredible, stuff from my all time favourite drummer. The1st Drum star:- Gene swung like the clappers. Yet none of what he does is over complicated. Purely accessible brilliance which can clearly be understood by ANYONE with drums in their soul. Notice how drummers back then, angled the snare away from themselves to fire off those snappy rimshots. Buddy Rich (another genius ) said it all when he commented "Can You Imagine Jazz Without Gene Krupa ?" Yours In Drums:- Chris Newman.
Of all drummers I've heard Gene Krupa reverbrerate with me the most. Must be his style which I can understand and feel in my bones. It is a visceral style in that the beat goes down the hip area and impels one off the rocker chair.
Mesmerizing to watch. Quite the showman and a guy who loved to swing. I can see why Buddy Rich thought the world of Gene. Great posting. Krupa and Rich have influenced many of us drummers. Thanks for introducing some younger drummers to the magic of those who brought the drummer out of the shadows and into the limelight.
If you check out some Keith Moon drum solos, you can see much of the Gene Krupa inluence. I think that Keith Moon was driven by the same engine that powered Gene Krupa. Check out the facial expressions for one thing. In some instances, they are almost a mirrored image of themselves. Looking at Gene in this compilation, it is as if an invisible force takes over & he's crossed one boundry into the next. You can see the same thing in Keith Moon. Gene was truly a man in "tune" with his drums.
GENE KRUPA WAS THE GREATEST DRUMMER WHO EVER LIVED! HE WAS IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF. EVERY GREAT DRUMMER ATTRIBUTES THEIR ABILITIES TO LISTENING AND WATCHING GENE!
That was exactly who Krupa made me remember right now! Have always loved Krupa´s playing since I was a kid. I would love to have the 100th part of the "swing" this cat had...
Cuthbert Bracegirdle 😂😂 It is just an age thing..😂 Carl Palmer would leave Vinnie for dead, of today’s living drummers. Dylan Elyse isn’t far behind, either ..
I was just a tyke when I first heard Gene Krupa, but I'll never forget the impression he made. It was the first time I heard someone make drums sound like music.
One of the best . Such complicated rhythms. They take much thinking about . I am a drummer , I love drumming . I am not as good as this . But I am good. My friends do a dance to sing, sing, sing, and I play the drums
SozLikeAudio...omg!! OMG!!! THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN FOR YEARS!! Grateful for your understanding, intelligence, and quite right cheekiness 😘 Just a wonderful thing
This is a wonderful compilation of Kruper's work. The singer at the end is the famous actress Barbara Stanwyck, who was married to Robet Taylor. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Certainly agreed, Chris.... Hands Down.... And Gene unarguably being the Absolute Inspirational Forerunner of even the later 60s Rock drummers, Keith Moon of The WHO, and Ginger Baker of Cream....!! = ALA: ruclips.net/video/EvtaE_QNM2k/видео.html AKA: The Beat Goes On!! :-)
When I was a kid there was an on going debate who was the best Gene or Buddy Rich, Both have there own style, but for me it was always Gene Krupa, he just looks so damn cool while he plays. and Rich always seemed angry while playing. I could watch Gene all day. Incredible talent.
Swing Swing Swing..... coolest tune ever,especially the year it was written,way ahead of its time. Check out the complete song, it’s killer. Go Gene Go Benny
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 !!!!
I'm a Buddy Rich fan. Nobody had the speed, power, or technical ability he possessed, and he, for that reason, will always be the best ever. But Gene was also a one off. He especially for the era in which he came to prominence was untouchable. His solos were musical as well as technical plus they had a pulse, which unless you are dead had you tapping your feet. Add to that he was a splendid showman...so even if you didn't know what he was playing and how good he was you could still enjoy his performance. A brilliant drummer.....
In his younger, healthy days, Gene could match Buddy’s speed, but he slowed down over time, especially with failing health. However, he will always be the king of “ Feel and dynamics “..
My dad, son and nephew all play drums. No wonder I love the drums. I was raised on this fabulous music. My son tried to teach me to play, but it was too hard with hands, feet, arms, legs and back all moving at the same time. SYLVIA - FL:
Peter Criss is one of my biggest influences to play drums, and i heard Gene Krupa was his influence. Watching that i understand why Peter loves him so much, superb drummer!
Carl Palmer and Neil Peart both mentioned how influential he was to their drumming. No doubt he provided the template for the flamboyant drummer who took over a stage.
Was it Anita? My best friend in high school, her mom was best friends with Anita. All three of them were lesbians. God I was only 16… If not Anita who was it?
The first clip is the greatest example of a drummer who can play for a top band and at the same time capture an audience, out of pure love for the instrument.
Everybody compared him to Buddy but they were completely different drummers. Buddy was a technical wizard who will never be duplicated but he wasn’t as great at driving a band. (He would tell you different, of course, but recordings don’t lie). And Gene wasn’t 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.
Gives me warm feeling to know he was an American with clean Polish blood. Unusual Polish temperament. Actually Poland does not advertise it self but people even do not know where the graduation hats come from. Gene Krupa the original first best drummer in spotlight.

@Daveid Krieger I will check out his videos and see how he sounds.
@Daveid Krieger I just saw one of Art Blakeley's drum solo videos and he is an amazing drumming. I like his style too.
@Daveid Krieger Art Blakeley is such a good drummer. He is right there with guys like Elvin Jones, Papa Jo Jones, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa.
complete joy on his face...brings joy to mine! That's Entertainment folks!
Gene Krupa with Barbara Stanwyck, in Ball of Fire. Fantastic drumming & a Great movie,
I have always been deeply inspired by Krupa's burning sense of swing. We tend to see him as a soloist, blurring chops, lots of notes but how many cats used space so, wonderfully almost painfully hip as he? Listen to those explosive tacits
I absolutely love the style and panache of Gene’s drumming& the sound of his kit also has an excitement all of its own. He swings & man does he do so.

Gene couldn't keep up with Buddy at any age as far as speed. That said, I like his STYLE way more than Buddy, Krupa charisma!
Yeah, Gene had the swing. Buddy had the hammer. They loved each other, too.
Buddy was faster but he had a tremendous amount of respect for gene.

track "Drum Boogie" and it is Anita O'Day on vocals,Roy Eldridge on trumpet, and Gene on drums.
Maybe O'day recorded the tune but this video shows Barbara Stanwick & Krupa
Speed, showmanship, and musicality--the standard by which all drummers are held. Krupa was that standard.

There is something “Orgasmic” about the way that he plays. I bet that he had a good time.
