thecrippledrummer

A jazz drummer of 40+ years and collector/historian. I have Spinal Muscle Atrophy & have been in a wheelchair since 1981.

I started the first website dedicated to Gene Krupa in 1997, which now has a Facebook group: America’s Ace Drummer Man: Gene Krupa. I also moderate two Buddy Rich groups on Facebook: Buddy’s Lounge & Buddy’s Place. In addition, I have a long-running website dedicated to the Stanley Kubrick film “The Shining.”

This channel is primarily centered around jazz & big band with an emphasis on drummers, but also includes a mix of my other musical loves: bachelor pad, exotica, and easy listening/mood music of the 1950s-70s, as well as a smattering of instrumental surf rock and vintage Christmas music. I also love listening to & collecting airchecks from the classic years of AM radio.

I have been using AI to clean up, refine, and enlarge photos from my collection. It doesn’t work for everything but does an excellent job on some. Here’s one of the few available shots of Buddy & Gene that has been greatly improved:

I apologize for the lack of normal posts. I’ve been under the proverbial weather for the past week but will hopefully be back up running soon.

Rest in Peace, the great Frank DeVito (8/14/1930-1/22/2024)🙏❤️ Frank was one of the final links to the legendary years of jazz, the Baja Marimba Band, the Wrecking Crew…and was one of the nicest & hippest guys on the planet😎

Merry Christmas to everyone and my sincere thanks to everyone for supporting my channel over the years. My one and only goal is to keep alive the music of all of these amazing drummers, and to (hopefully) open the eyes & ears of the younger generations to the musicians who are responsible for everything we do now🎄🥁❤️🙏
