The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I was 5 years old in 1946 and was invited to play Stardust on the clarinet at WJOB radio station in Hammond, Indiana. As luck would have it Mr. Gene Krupa was also a guest at the station that day and after an interview he moved to the drums and motioned to me to come over to him. He told me how much he enjoyed Stardust and asked if I wanted to sit on his lap, which I definitely did and he went on to bang out an incredible drum solo (I have no idea what it was). My mom and dad thought I would be afraid, but I loved every minute of it and I went on to a 60 year avocational career in music, beginning with playing jazz in bars and bowling alleys and later on to classical music. At age 82 I still hold the experience with Gene Krupa close to my heart.f

Sir or madam, thats absolutely amazing. I reckon Krupas era of drumming was totally wildly innovative to most of what was accepted at the time. But hell, im 40 now, and I would say our generations Gene krupa style drumming influence has got to be El Estapariano Siberiano. Good god, his technique and fundamental drum skills are so crispy sharp. Hes got a series on playing wild wild drum parts 1 handed. Estaprianl is the current final boss of drumming mastery, haha😂😂😂 We wouldnt have the current crops of technical prog metal drumming and all that without these guys breaking the original molds. I would have dug it too, im that type of persons whose like 'yeah this timing change and cord progression plus arrangement blah blah" y'know, really into thw nerdynerd musical details. So, most people are like, yeah I like music, this one huge popular song has memorable chorus lyrics. Im very admittedly the person arguing stuff like a Hammond versus moog synth feel and sound, the texture of the noises, haha. Have i shown my useless recording arts degree? No? Well, this napkin does all the same shit the degree does and cost way less Wish id seen im a dang music bred before rackin up the school costs, but hey, without bills, how would my taxes ever fund world war 3! Hah😂😂😂😢

YEP! For ME it was seeing "Neil Peart" and "RUSH" open for KISS in 1975. I was ten. Our oldest/only brother took my sister and I to see our FAV band "KISS" for our birthdays... but it was the OPENING Band... RUSH that gave me the "Drumming Bug"! THEN I got to see and MET Buddy Rich when I was 13 in middle school! THAT Summer... one hot Saturday afternoon when Mom and Dad went to the store to get flowers and plants for the garden. I stayed home and was listening to a local Rock station on the stereo with the volume CRANKED and a RUSH Song came on... and I decided that I HAD to go down to the basement and get on my brother's vintage 68/69 Red Sparkle "Ludwig" kit and try to play to it?! I realized two things that day... ONE... Drumming is ALOT HARDER then It MIGHT Look or then I thought! And TWO...I was FOREVER Changed and wanted to be a drummer! Now 43 yrs. later I'm STILL a Progressive Rock Drummer! :D No band at the present... but STILL Jammin'! :D

Yay! I first saw the film The Gene Krupa Story when I was about 10, although Sal Mineo played Gene in the film, and had to learn to play drums first, it got me totally obsessed with drums and percussion. I only got a full drum kit a few years back. Before that I had small, portable drums which I used when belly dancing, and a pair of drumsticks, which I used on the kitchen countertops and pots and pans! 😁🤣💙🤭

@TracyC-nj2tq 3 месяца назад

I know. I agree. It's a true shame all these young drummers know is, "JOHN BONHAM! MIKE PORTNOY! JOHN BONHAM! MIKE PORTNOY!" I was taught to follow a "family tree," of sorts, among drummers. You start with a contemporary one, then trace back who all of their inspirations were. I found many of them trace back to Louie Bellson, Buddy Rich, Max Roach, and this wonderful gentleman here, Gene Krupa.

@spyderlogan4992 3 года назад

Some things I noticed: Left hand grip, except for some fast snare work, was the 'match grip' and not 'traditional'. Krupa was an endorser for Slingerland Drums and must have help sell thousands of kits...along with Buddy Rich. Also, he never 'overplayed' his arrangement, kept it tight with the other musicians; no showboating, just a clean performance...A key member of Goodman's band back in the pre-war era...But he never gave the 6" splash some love... :-(

@spyderlogan4992 3 года назад

Big bands is where it's at. They're there to entertain rather than just show off. Not a big Be-Bop fan, and a lot of the stuff in the last 40 or 50 years has been "If you criticize my lack of musicality in my technical display, then you just don't understand music." Screw that. If you can't meet a broad audience half-way, you're not much of a musician.

This guy took us around to see the sights. We came around a corner and saw a marquis over the sidewalk saying "now playing, Gene Krupa". I ran over and watched from the door for a few minutes and saw him playing. I didn't know what they were playing but his hand were just a blur. When I got back to school I told my band teacher all about it and he smiled at my good fortune. I was always glad I took band because I learned to appreciate more than just rock.

Gene was all about style and making the drums the centerpiece on stage during the jazz era....he was a huge star and the FIRST famous and influential jazz drummer who cemented the drums as a solo instrument. He laid the foundation for greater technicians like Buddy and Louis Bellson to build on.....much like Ringo did for rock and roll.....with Bonham, Baker, and others to follow. Ringo was the first REAL rock drummer, and Gene was the first model in jazz for others to follow.

Greetings rangergreen, As a drummer myself I must say all drummers have been an influence on me as well as on my drumming. But if I had some drummer in mind all I have to give is just one name which is... Airto. Nuff said and with that I'll say just one word more... Miigwich!!!

Ça me coûte de le dire mais quand tu regardes des batteurs pop ou de styles ou on a un préjugé sur la qualité technique, on remarque que beaucoup sont très talentueux, malheureusement depuis longtemps les musiciens (surtout rythmique) sont mis en retrait et deviennent méconnu....

Amazing ensemble work- wow. Musicians may include Eddie Wasserman (clarinet, tenor sax), Ronnie Ball (piano) and Jimmy Gannon (bass).

@richardsalvucci3472 2 года назад

I think that's right. If it isn't Wasserman, it's Eddie Shu

IT WAS DEFINITELY THE GREAT EDDIE WASSERMAN ON CLARINET AND TENOR SAXOPHONE! MR. WASSERMAN WAS AN ALLTIME GREAT!

Thumbs down people don't understand music, it's history or the impact of this man. This is amazing footage of the musical force of Gene Krupa, thank you.

One thing also about Gene, is he was quite the innovator for Slingerland…the bass drum mount, double lug separate head tuning, flanged hoops, and I think also the internal muffler.

Wasn’t he also responsible for the hi-hat?

Good to.know. Any idea on these shell dimensions? The floor tom looks like an 18". I'm guessing he's using Zildjian A's as well.

@@tonyprice5344 According to himself in his book, Baby Dodds was the inspiration behind hi hats, though he personally hated them, and never actually asked for them to be made...story goes Bill Ludwig saw Baby stomping his left foot on the Mississippi Riverboats, measured his foot and came back later with the 'low-boy' which became the hi hat. Baby said "some drummers can't play without them, but I can't play with them" to paraphrase...how much truth there is to that story, I don't know, but it's the only one I've heard regarding their origin.

Internal muffler was a Gretsch innovation along with internal BD spurs .

This is the best post of Gene playing Sing Sing Sing. Best sound quality, and you can actually see him the entire time. What a great post!

@ericwobschall8410 2 года назад

Professional entertainer. People loved watching him be a great musician. When MTV happened, the only videos I wanted to see were of people playing their instruments. They knew Gene had that it factor when they shot this. How far have we come since then?

Gene Krupa was like Louis Armstrong (New Orleans Jazz trumpet) style and a showman. Buddy was like Al Hirt (trumpetman) the greatest technician great style too. Drummers loved to watch Buddy with his effortless amazing solos. But everybody got into Gene's solos. Buddy I think was the greatest Technician on the drums and great modern big band style. But Gene made the drums a solo instrument and brought the drummer to the Audiences attention.

@jadezee6316 3 года назад

get off it...buddy rich's famed solo....is the greatest ever seen on drums.....

@TheLarryBrown 2 года назад

I'll take Gene 100 to nothing against Buddy. Gene makes the drums sing, scream, shout, dance, shimmer, sizzle, and everything in between. Buddy is a one note wonder in comparison. Gene all the way.

@TheLarryBrown 2 года назад

@@jadezee6316 Even if that's true, and it probably is, Gene is still way better. Look how great Ringo is having never played any solo at all. Great soloing does not a drummer make.

@TheLarryBrown 2 года назад

One thing that some might lose sight of when arguing Gene vs Buddy is that Gene could hold his own in the drum battle against Buddy, how many could do that? Being second to the greatest drummer in history ain't too shabby. We all agree that no one on earth can do what Buddy does. Except Gene. He enters the drum battle and says "I can play that game." Not only that, but Gene wins the drum battle quite handily. GENE'S DA MAN!!!!
