Gene Krupa - Drummin Man TQMP

Many consider Krupa to be one of the most influential drummers of the 20th century, particularly regarding the development of the drum kit. Many jazz historians believe he made history in 1927 as the first kit drummer ever to record using a bass drum pedal. Others, however, believe this was done earlier by Baby Dodds. His drum method was published in 1938 and immediately became the standard text. He is also credited with inventing the rim shot on the snare drum. Krupa in the 1930s prominently featured Slingerland drums. At Krupa's urging, Slingerland developed tom-toms with tuneable top and bottom heads, which immediately became important elements of virtually every drummer's set-up. Krupa also developed and popularised many of the cymbal techniques that became standards. His collaboration with Armand Zildjian of the Avedis Zildjian Company developed the hi-hat stand and standardized the names and uses of the ride cymbal, the crash cymbal, the splash cymbal, the pang cymbal and the swish cymbal.

thanks, Mom liked Krupa, I've seen him on YouTube from old movies, but of course in 64k mono. This should be nice. I know he was great but I did not know he "invented drumming" as we now know it, and influenced the development of the drum kit.
I'm not a musician, by the way, but it reminds me of stories of Hendrix' influence on the electric guitar, pedals, effects, etc.
