Gene Krupa & His Orchestra 1947 Boiler Room Drum Solo from “Beat The Band” Red Rodney

I feel what's missing in today's Club and Music scene can be found here in a video which shows some great music, a fire breathing drumming machine in Gene Krupa who can even get a tune out of boiler pipes let alone his magnificent, natural gift of timing. There is the example of Class., as shown in a Elegant, Attractive Singer, a Class Band with many, many talented musicians all dressed very smartly. A audience who is also elegantly dressed, both Ladies & Gentlemen, polite and appreciative of the music played.
I was born in 1948 but watched many B Grade Movies of the Big Band Era as a kid and while I understand the cost and complex problems with staging Big Band Concerts today I feel very fortunate om Australia.we still have these examples of such a Era, Classy stuff at it's best. Cheers All, from Australia, Denis.

I wonder if Karen Carpenter drew her inspiration from Gene Krupa? And boy, do those olden times look so great.

He is still my Drum Hero!
RIP MY BROTHER
GOD HAS ALL OF THE BEST DRUMMERS

Krupa was the man

The man had a feel for rhythm and knew how to dazzle a crowd. After watching this i can tell where Keith Moon acquired his love for drums and outlandish style❤

Gene’s calf heads would quickly have become unplayable in all of that steam!

The first tune was titled: "Calling Dr Gillespie"..which was an homage to Kildare's mentor and of course...Dizzy!

❤

He was Keith Moons inspiration!

I beat the band only for the black dress with seethrough back & ruches...Not for the song

Favourite !!

The set up of this clip, the way the quick story is told and done within 6mins is super impressive! For folks who are watching this for the 1st time go watch the movie..it was The Tops of the times!! Huge admirer of 40s movies so i thank you oh so very much for posting! Keep drumming everyone!!

"I think everything I've ever played has somehow trickled down from Gene Krupa..."
The great Bill Ward

Geeeeeennne.🔥🔥🔥🔥

ohh shit! MUSIC!!!!! sad we forgot how to play real music...i blame schools well not entirely just mainly most took monies from the music progs and threw the dough to the sports crap shit programs why? who the H knows..i actually hate this country now it sucks glad i grew up when there was at least some music left to be heard now the radio is just vomitous trash talking no talent punks smack talking each other about how much money they make selling dope to kids...wonderful sorry i dont consider rap anything more than dirty graffiti

Does anyone have a link for this movie? I would like to watch it

One of my favourite scenes with gene that rail solo is off the hook n the blonde is cute as hell

This is music when music was music.

That club owners always yelling. Even when on the phone!

Gene Krupa was the man! Fuck buddy! He was an asshole that treated his band like shit. Plus, Carl Palmer is way better, anyhow.

Best Drummer ever!

I read that Gene was good. I heard that Gene was good. Now, I see and agree that he, indeed, was good.

UNE IDOLE POUR MOI quelle force de vie ! Quelle joie intérieure musicale !

I guess the moral of this scene is
"If you can't win people's heart with nice words
win them with controlled drumsticks"

I was once backstage with Mickey Hart. He was paying the door jams.

Love this!! Gene drumming on the pipes and any thing he can drum on!! Great scene! Reminds of my days working at the DRF ( Daily Racing Form, a horse racing newspaper) well there was this guy in our office back in the 1980's and he was a hobby drummer etc and when he would come into our dept he would invariably drum on whatever was handy with whatever he could use as drum sticks. 😁 it was pretty cool and funny also but here is to you Carl Evanoff !!( was the fellow doing this) this )

Mediocre

Ignorance looks less offensive back the, eh, broad?

I’ve been listening to metal drummer my whole life,I recently discovered Krupa by a way of John bonham,and Krupa is the best ever!

Gene Krupa and big band drum solos are what inspired the drum/space portions of grateful Dead concerts. That's how I found this!

Ann Miller did the same thing. She danced and dubbed in the taps.

bautiful beautiful and beautiful songe

It's so nice to see actual production value. They don't make them like they used to. RIP Good Times.

Cuanto talento ahí 👏👏👏

Fantastic. One of the best musical movie sequences ever. Wonderful & complete ingenuity in drum soloing with a huge difference by Gene Krupa - my absolutely favourite drummer. Also love Buddy (Rich) & Joe (Morello). All of them speak drums to me.

Até que em fim uma recomendação digna desse YT.

This is true great music with a beautifully voiced lady of a singer. I owe my thanks to my father for introducing to this classic , sorry ,vintage old school. This is truly grand

A Friend just suggested this to me because I like the atomic platters.

I didn't know what I was missing. This is amazing.

My guess is Krupa is underrated. He is one of the pioneers of formulating the drum set, joined Glen Miller's band in 1938 becoming a national celebrity, and is the first drummer to do a drum solo on a commercial recording.

My parents music. Actually it's good enough to be everybody's music

is this a released track, whats the song called?

Who is the female singer please john

Amazing drummer

I guess they got paid.

Almost everyone here is dead.

Something similar really happened...at the Essex House in New York in 1932. Richard Himber, the up and coming society bandleader, told management that NBC wanted to broadcast him and offered to play there. They said sure...but until we know how you will do, you won't play in our main dining room. 

The band, and NBC's mic, ended up in a large storeroom full of busted up furniture. And from there, Himber broadcast with some of the best musicians in the country...and made such a hit that the Essex House was happy to let him play their main room.
