Gene Krupa (three photos) by AL Stewart
Eugene Bertram Krupa (January 15, 1909 – October 16, 1973) was an American jazz drummer, bandleader and composer and is widely regarded as one of the most influential drummers in the history of popular music. His drum solo on Benny Goodman's 1937 recording of "Sing, Sing, Sing" elevated the role of the drummer from an accompanist to an important solo voice in the band.
A major force in defining the standard band drummer's kit, Krupa is considered "the founding father of the modern drumset" by Modern Drummer magazine. Upon his death, The New York Times labeled Krupa a "revolutionary" known for "frenzied, flashy" drumming, with his work having generated a significant musical legacy that started "in jazz and has continued on through the rock era.
Stewart remembers capturing “Gene listening to playback of an arrangement we just recorded with his own band on a session in 1958, in New York City.”
