Ok, this is not meant to piss anybody off, but I often hear Gene Krupa's name as one of the all time great drummers. I've watched some videos, listened to a few recordings of him, but just can't figure out why his playing is so highly regarded. I mean, he's good and all, but I don't really see or hear anything that's all that impressive. I've only been playing drums about a year, and I can certainly understand why guys like John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Keith Moon are considered greats, but with Gene Krupa I just don't see it. Maybe my inexperience has something to do with it?
Can you guys give me some help on what I'm missing? This truly is an honest question, it's not meant to anger anyone. Maybe I just need to be pointed in the right direction?
