Ronnie I can't disagree with you there.....but Krupa was doing it years before Buddy Rich! He was a trail blazer of sorts! Your talking mid to late 1930's he was bangin' like nobody else! I remember the first time I saw Buddy Rich....it was on The Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson! I had never seen or heard of him before and this "old guy" sat down at that drum set and I was just bLOwN AwAY!!! He was amazing!
