Sing Sing Sing!

The drummer is Gene Krupa.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I was wondering when someone was going to get to the greatest drummer who ever lived.

I have long believed that Sing Sing Sing is among the greatest instrumental works of the 20th Century. I thought that when my late father first introduced his long-haired son to Big Band and swing music in the 1970s, and I still think so today.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I agree. If I hadn't already told my husband that I don't want a funeral when I die, I would have asked that "Sing Sing Sing" be played at it.

As an aside, my sister, now a professional clarinetist, met her idol Benny Goodman when she was in high school and was utterly unable to speak, she was so awstruck. Her friend had to say, "Mr. Goodman, this is your biggest fan!"

Everything is debatable but the facts remain the facts @skeeter.   :tongue2:

I happened to be watching the Tonight Show the night Buddy Rich did that solo performance when it first aired. I was amazed. I've never forgot it. Thank you for posting it.

I guess some of my fave drummers actually didn't have much time to hotdog, they just added to the group's songs and went on their way... No hate on any of the songs/drums listed... thanks for showcasing them (fun poll) !!

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not an intro, and not great clarity, but listen to Ginger Baker in "Sunshine of Your Love". He's doing a lot more than just being a clock:

Ron Bushy -- Iron Butterfly (In a Gada da Vida) Drum Solo

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
