"The Gene Krupa Story" movie - crazy! Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 1017 Threads: 349

Just checking out the movie "The Gene Krupa Story." First of all, the credits rolled and I saw that Gene K provided all the drum recording. Man, I bet that was a lot of work.

Also, Shelly Manne plays Davey Tough.

Pretty fun to check out the vintage kits!

That's the line I remember too. Just think how well he played while he was high.

Best.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
