What a show. I am a big fan of Gene Krupa. Dom puts FEELING into his beats just the same as Gene done, and he is enjoying every bit of what he is doing. I have seen Buddy Rich attempt to upstage Gene on the Sammy Davis Jr. show and they called it the "DRUM BATTLE". Rich was so up his own arse it was unbelievable. Gene had already paved the way 30 years before in the 1938 Carnegie Hall concert with Benny Goodman. As they say Gene made drums an instrument on their own, not just a bass kick and wire brushes. There are many, many heavy rock drummers who say Gene was their inspiration, not Buddy Rich.
"SING, SING, SING" is the Perfect Song for drummers. I'm glad so many of them have recorded this great song so I can watch their different styles of drumming. ALL of them are GREAT!. This is a "tail wager". Thanks for putting this out here for all us to enjoy! Dom Metz is a joy to watch. He makes banging those cymbals and skins easy. I can really tell he is enjoying himself.
