| | Gene Krupa |
| | Krupa got his big band back together in 1945 which enjoyed wide popularity until 1951 when he scaled the size of his bands to match the changing styles of Jazz which had shifted from the big bands to smaller Modern Jazz combos. | | | Krupa's drumming was exceptional on these recordings and sounded unique because they were among the first recordings to feature a full drum kit. | | | His drum part on Goodman's 1936 hit "Sing, Sing, Sing" was the classic drum anthem of the Swing Era, and his matinee idol appearance on stage and appearances in films made him one of the biggest musical stars of the era. |

| | Gene was the first drummer to be featured, in the spotlight, playing an extended drum solo and, with his electrifying charisma, he was the perfect DrumHead to pull it off. | | | In addition to being a terrific showman, Gene was also a very musical player and the first drummer to bring the drumset to the front stage and popularize it as a solo instrument. | | | As Steve Allen informs us in the introduction, Gene began playing the drums at age 11 not because of a great love for the instrument but simply because they happened to be the cheapest instrument in the music store. |

| | Gerry Mulligan by Craig Hanley - Gene Krupa |
| | Gene's band was the happiest, scariest, most musical and most lucrative group I'd ever played with. | | | Disc Jockey Jump, which turned out to be a Krupa hit, was written by Mulligan in the early months of his association with the band, but it wasn't put into the books until Gerry had left. | | | You will notice that apart from Disc jockey jump, which was one of the Krupa band's big successes at the time, the tempos are nearly all relaxed, almost casual. |

| | The fact that the band did a variety of numbers from the 1938 Benny Goodman Orchestra (in which Krupa made his name) and even Krupa's own band gave me plenty of room to study and imitate his playing. | | | In some cases I would play "in the style of." But in others, I would do the licks and short solos exactly as they were on the records, note-for-note. | | | But at this point in time, as the band's urban swing identity gelled, Gene was the man. |
