Very clean job. I always felt Gene Krupa's playing was, well, sort of more musical than many others. And every time I hear that recording of the 1938 concert I wish I had been born early enough to have been there. What a night that was. Benny Goodman was nervous that it wouldn't be well received. And now almost a hundred years later, it is STILL well received.
The sound of drums, combined with the clarinet - just those two instruments -creates a haunting, exotic mood of the jungle. Primordial feeling. Both Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw used this combination profusely, during the same period in the 1930s, and I'm not sure who stole it from whom. But I think that Artie was the first who developed it into an art form; and when 'Sing Sing Sing' was performed by Benny, it became "melody and beat standard". The emphasis is on the perfection of beat and melody, and it is the golden rule that all dance music (which came from swing), is judged by. I was told by a player who played in Benny Goodman's orchestra, that Benny was precisely counting tempo and beats, sometimes using a stopwatch/metronome, and INSISTED that the tempo and beat are perfect; otherwise, dancers will go off the floor.
Gene was my favorite drummer of all time. I had the LP of the 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert which I played over and over, endlessly, much to my parent's chagrin. Even in the car today when I play it I can see Gene hitting the skins. That was a wonderful rendition of that classic song. Kudos to you sir.
It's another tribute to you. Since I sang this song a lot, I can listen to your performance more. I look forward to your next performance.👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎶🙂🎶🎧🎧🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎆☃️
this is a song written by Louis Prima.. Originally titled Sing, Bing Sing, as in Sing Bing Crosby.. Louis and Bing were close friends.. Louis wrote this when they were at a race track..telling Bing to Sing out the name of the winning horse to be..
This brings back such fun memories of you playing this with the Toronto All Star Big Band....like you mentioned above. It was fun for you but it was also sooooo fun for me watching you. Pure joy!
That was really good! Great job Dude! I love Gene Krupa, he is one of my greatest influences as a trap player next to Joe Morelo and Bill Ward. Keep up the great work! 😎
Just a joy to hear some good music again thank God for recordings that can bring back some of the memory of days long gone by! All of the greats are now gone Miller Bassie, Dorsey Ellington Shaw and of course Goodman! Like I said thank God for recoding so we can remember again. R I P TO ALL!
Super cool.... I'm more of a metal drummer who loves this song... Though yea.. I'll play along.... Ok... It's hard!!! Total props!!!! Gonna learn this song now for sure!!!!!
Has always been a great song, but sounds so much better with deeper toms, like Gene had. A bigger boomier sound needed. Slingerlands for a start, but love the song and nicely played. Maybe tune the floor tom lower, with no muffling.
The Tux, and then the black, and white, put this over the top. Thumbs up!
Thank you!!!!
Tux is so right for this elegant music, perfect!

Gene Krupa was not better then all drummers, but gene Krupa was BETTER than all drummers

IF I was a drummer and I was condemned to play only one song for the rest of my life, “Sing, Sing, Sing” would be it. Well played, mate.

Thank you very much. Nothing wrong with being exposed and playing multiple different genres.
No kidding, way back in high school Jazz band I thought John Bonham was God. Then my band teacher turned me onto Krupa. Krupa was a monster player.
Love this!

“It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing...”
Your dynamics are very impressive and that cowbell....short but oh so sweet. Great job!!!!
Awesome! Ya know that Peter Criss from Kiss was a Gene fan and had met him ...check out his solo from Kiss Alive! ...100,000 thousand years!
It’s such an easy tune but so powerful because most of it is being played on the floor Tom! Heavy tune
Sure is!!!!!
Has always been a great song, but sounds so much better with deeper toms, like Gene had.

Slingerlands for a start, but love the song and nicely played.

you go dude,
Thank you!!!
Gene Krupa the legend. So many fabulous percussionists around back then. Second to Gene, Lionel Hampton.
Lionel Hampton was a drummer before he switched to vibes, that's why he was so good rhythmically.
YES!!!!!! 😎👍👍🥁
I played trumpet from 4th to 6th grade. I have nothing to add here.
You nailed it! Most drummers don't get that part right at :07 (playing with just one hand)--but you nailed it!
Thank you!!!!
drums sound awesome...hard to get a good floor tom sound...
This diude needs a good women....however he never really understood the logic of picking up a good woman....gooooood drumming dude
Dude seriously...I know you need a good woman
This is how you do it>
Musically Buddy Rich did nothing for me ....Gene Krupa on the other hand , now that is musical drumming
Jean Krupa is as much of a drumming legend as Buddy Rich.
Indeed!!! Both are legends!!!!
Yeah and Gene was pretty good too. (Just messing with you man. Typos happen 😉)
This is just the basic sing sing sing. Listen to what he does on the Ed Sullivan show.
Spice
Love it but skin heads would sound better, just my opinion.
Holding the sticks in the match grip is not a tribute, it's an insult...
Pfffff dude where is traditional grip ?? 🤦🏼
Hahaha
@@drummarkdrum haha ? Wtf is funny dude
You’re 100% in jazz music and you don’t use traditional grip ?
Gene Krupa would be mad
@@musicisthecure6934why are you so angered on what grip people use.
