Can you make a five minute video of drum soloing like Krupa because my younger brother has found he has a liking for Krupa

Jazz is really my favorite style of drumming, and your videos have given me a lot of new ideas. Thank you very much!

You know, on the Gene Krupa Swing Swing Swing DVD, he also does this, but not exactly the same. Krupa does a more "spedup" version and his hitting the hi-hat on the downstroke and the upstroke for a more showy effect. I need to go look at it more to remember it entirely.

Hi> If you have been playing that long your technique should be sound. Learning jazz means listening to the guys I mentioned above and learing how to swing.
Good Luck

man I'm fifteen and I WISH I could play drums........and If I could play I would want to play jazz the most because it is so offset sometimes and I just love the overall groove to it

15 is a good age to start. Go and do it. Playing jazz means listening to the great players and you need to go back to the pioneer New Orleans drummers, Baby Dodds, Zutty Singleton etc, the swing era players like Gene Krupa. I have some articles about these players and soundclips on my web site. Google 'John Petters' it will take you there. Go for it. Get a pair of sticks and a practice pad. Keep swinging

You were very lucky to know these great players. Both of them had something extra special that us mere mortals can only nod towards.
Keep swinging
