Fredericksburg Theater Company's "1940's Radio Hour" As we start the second act enjoy the sounds of the Big Band.... For a real treat, put your headphones and play it again!
Yes the drummer is very good but to say the best ever ( especially on this tune ) is saying quite a bit. Check out Charly Antolini's drum solo on Sing Sing Sing on youtube, That drumming is the best iv'e ever heard on this classic drum feature.
Yeah there always has to be some piece of shit know it all like you who has to spread negativity. The drummer is a retired Air Force drummer, and they are of the highest quality musicians, so you just take your opinion and shove it straight up your ass!
Every one has an opinion! Which is great! I hear one thing, you hear another! That's what makes swing jazz so great! Or any style. Sonny Rollins ' album "Sunny side up" made me crazy. Then Sonny Stitt! I'm in heaven! Some album!! "
The segment between drum solos (starting at 2:48) was goose pimple time. Wonderful! Drummer excelled (single stroke rolls were awesome. Loved the whole thing!
Swing music cuts across generations like no other genre of songs. SSS especially, with its nonstop driving drum beat. Story has it that when Prima wrote the song in 1936, he titled it Sing, Bing, Sing, referring to Mr. Crosby. No evidence has ever surfaced to verify or disprove it though.
Mr Drummer: I like your solo. Are you able to play 2 bass drums? Louis Bellson, I heard was the first to use 2 If you use 2 bass drums, try playing eighth notes at this tempo in the solo. Then only the bass drums. See how the audience reacts. If you do that, I do not think you will return to the single bass drum set.
COLIN BALL: YES, THIS IS A TERRIFIC DRUM SOLO. WE'RE NOT LISTENING TO THE ORIGINAL. WE'RE LISTENING TO THIS ONE!! I, MYSELF WANT TO JUMP UP AND DANCE ALL AROUND THE OFFICE TO THIS MUSIC. THAT DRUMMER PUTS HIS HEART, SOUL AND ARMS INTO BEATING THAT DRUM. HIS WHOLE BODY IS JUST JUMPING AND THAT TAKES A LOT OUT A MAN/WOMAN. HE IS Sooooo EXCELLENT!. NO NEED TO TELL US ABOUT GENE KRUPA OR BUDDY RICH. WE KNOW THEY ARE SENSATIONAL. I LISTEN TO THEM ALL THE TIME, TOO. THERE ARE 1,000's OF GREAT MUSICIANS IN THE WORLD, BUT WE ALL HAVE OUR GOD GIVEN TALENTS. NO TWO PLAYERS ARE THE SAME. JUST ENJOY THEM FOR WHAT THE PLAY. WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT PEOPLE DOWN.

The best is the Carnegie Hall concert! Wat an attendance! What I've give to be there! Gene Krupa's solo! I passed out(almost )! My opinion, Top 5 of all swing songs! That covers a lot legends!
The dumbest thing is " Who's better ?" Every artist has their own take. I enjoy them all. From early Duke Ellington and the Washingtonians to early Benny Moten / Count Basey. There's no best. They "all" have a view. Enjoy them all!!
Honest appraisal he’s not Vincent or Krupa but for an amateur he has some nice chops. Moves from singles to doubles with ease, nice snare work and a one handed roll briefly and all locked in with the hi-hat.
So sorry to inform you that is not the best drum solo ever. No way. Buddy Rich could and would make that guy behind the drum set run off the stage and go home and never come back again
NO CHOPS. ALL THE SAME DRY BORING NOISE OVER AND OVER. NO CREATIVITY. ALL THESE BELOW MEDIOCRE DRUMMERS TRYING TO COPY GENE KRUPA. WHY NOT PLAY SOMETHING ELSE. KRUPA'S SOLO WAS CREATIVE BUT TECHNICALLY NOT DIFFICULT.
