April 19, 2019: Added the fabulous Bobby Scott article on Gene, "The World is Not Enough," to the Recollections section. If you have never read it, I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to do so. It's probably the single greatest piece written about Gene "the man."

April 8, 2019: I have overhauled the Audio/Video section, which now features many Gene Krupa videos from my YouTube channel. I highly recommend subscribing to the channel to be alerted when I upload new videos.
I am also very active in numerous online drum forums. You can find me on Facebook. You can also find me and my posts of classic drummer photos, videos, etc in various Facebook groups, including the companion group for Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson, Jo Jones, and The Great Drummers Group. I'm also an administrator for the Buddy Rich groups Buddy's Lounge and Buddy's Place. I also post classic big band & jazz drummer photos on Instagram.
