Chicago born, Gene Krupa's 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, and in 1978, he became the first drummer inducted into the Modern Drummer Magazine Hall of Fame | JazzCorner

Born this week— Gene Krupa (Jan 15, 1909) From his explosive work with Benny Goodman to iconic solos like “Sing, Sing, Sing,” Krupa helped pull the drummer out from the backline and into the spotlight, shaping the sound of swing-era jazz. #genekrupa #jazzlegends #jazzdrums | WBGO

Hey Drummers! Are you a Gene Krupa fan? Do you ever have the opportunity to solo when you gig? For many drummers the only time we can "solo" is when we are practicing or doing a drum clinic or educational event. In my opinion creating and playing a solo is much more than showcasing chops and speed. One of the Gene Krupa songs that many drummers feel truly inscapsulates his incredible essence and talent is this tune, "Drum Boogie", check it out. What is one of your favourite Gene Krupa tracks or
