Thread: To hell with this modern world, take me back to when things were much simpler

back in 1968 I have the chance to see Gene Krupa, he was a virtuso.
To me one of the best performances was when he was together with Benny Goodman, Sing,Sing,Sing.

Been speaking to the good wife, Arthur, [ as opposed to the bad one] I think we have a plan. Combining two interests, we fly to Argentina to watch the Wallabies play Argentina, hire a vehicle [ hopefully Land Rover], check out the country. Perhaps check out Ecuador, as well. Then the same in Africa, Japan, New Zealand, spend the kids inheritance They wont mind. I've been to Africa, Japan New Zealand, never been to South America. Have to pick your brains one day, over a red. BTW, we dance the Tango in Australia,

Its a funny thing Bob, Kruper and Rich introduced so much that modern drummers myself included take for granted. Those two clips hit that home in a big way. My drumming idols are guys from the 60's and 70's blokes like Nick Mason,Ringo Starr,John Densmore,Charlie Watts,John Bonham. But i think its time i start paying attention to the likes of Kruper and Rich and gain more of an understanding of the history of drum playing. Thanks for the clips Bob

This is almost R rated, . We dance this every night before bed...... then we wake up in the lounge chairs Bob

Ringo star? He definitely was a drummer who hung around musicians Bob
