Dec 13, 2008 - I think, gene Krupa just held the beat. Buddy rich held the beat, and could really play. Drum solo he would beet Krupa.

Dec 16, 2008 - I think I have a really huge crush on Gene Krupa now.

PancakeCharlie Says:

Dec 19, 2008 - To say Krupa 'just held the beat' is ridiculous. Don't you understand how difficult it is to play like that? Sure, Buddy Rich had more technique but that does not diminish what Krupa did, musically or artistically.

Dec 23, 2008 - Kirkwangler, read Gene Krupa's biography on Wikipedia to get the real story. Man, give credit where credit is due and enjoy all the great musicians without picking people apart!

Jan 3, 2009 - Gene Krupa played with a lot heart, he felt the rhythmn when he playes and you feel it and hear it, plus he has great sycopation skills...What a great tribute to the drum world!
