Hey Gene!

Here's another from that same show I think. Gene on a B&B Rogers kit and check the thin dyna~!
Glen!
This has most probably been mentioned here in the past, but for those that don't know, I'll mention again! That pic of GK playing Rogers with the "smallish" Dynasonic is from 1962. Gene took part in a drum battle of sorts featuring him.. Louie Bellson.. and Shelly Manne. You can see Gene with this particular Rogers set in the first shots of the film/vid which I will attach here. It was all in fun with no mind paid to what drums any of them were endorsing at the time, hence the goodly amount of Rogers seen on the field! I have always wondered about that "short" Dynasonic though. Looks like a 4X14!, and being 1962... B&B lugs all way 'round as well.

More super cool Gene pics, the man is one of my all time fav drummers and he was a prince of a man !! the 1st pic..Gene playing a Gretsch Kit - probably one of the JATP concerts, 2nd pic,a bevy of great drummers in one photo - Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Maurice Purtill (Glenn Miller's drummer), Buddy Schutz (Jimmy Dorsey's drummer) - Spike Jones and Jimmy Dorsey with his hands in his ears! The 3rd pic,,A wonderful early photo (signed) of Gene - he was such a snazzy dresser
Tommy thanks that's a really cool vid. Yes that dyna sure is a cool drum. I wonder where it is today. Would be cool if it's in someones collection somewhere.
Awesome.
My absolute, hands down, all time favorite drummer.
Thanks for posting these!!
More of the man himself.! the 1st pic,,Gene Krupa very much the elder statesman - looking very smart in a dark blue blazer - sitting in on a Ludwig Kit and using nylon tipped sticks - I think. 2nd pic.. Gene looks so happy to be playing with his friend Buddy. 3rd pic,, the 4th pic,Gene on Congas Ole!
Gene Krupa exemplifies class!!! Thanks again for the great photos!

I wish I could find the pics with Gene and my dad, my dad got to know Gene through Roy Napp, Gene would always stop in Naps studio when he was in town, which is how my dad met Gene, Roy introduced my dad to Gene (I'll never forget this) Roy said "Krupa, meet Kouba", from then on my dad became friends with one of the greatest drummers ever, and what do I have to show for it now that dad is gone, ?????
