Buddy Rich, of whom this uploader has up- and down-loaded a NUMBER of pieces, was undoubtedly TECHNICALLY the Greatest Drummer In The World - but Gene had PIZZAZZ! The movie is "George White's Scandals".

Allow the drums sounds to flow through your veins and heart, for an energetic afternoon! Permitan que el sonido de las baterias, corra por sus venas y sus corazones, para tener una tarde energética!

Well of course this was synched, but very well done. Gene and Buddy each said the other was the greatest. Gene's thing was that he could make a simple break or a single snare shot mean so much! Anyway, in 1962, Benny Goodman said of Gene, "He's still the best." Benny was the most demanding bandleader ever, and especially tough on drummers. And just for myself, I'd like to say that when it came to backing big band sections/driving dynamics, Gene and Buddy were equally fantastic. Listen to the record of Gene's 1941 band playing "Leave Us Leap", and also Artie Shaw's "Carioca" w/Buddy, to see what I mean.

What song was the second to last? The one where Krupa is walking between all the musicians and queuing them

Dean what you have written is simply not correct - of course, Buddy was a genius and probably the greatest drummer to draw breath - no one argues this - but Gene was an incredible inspiration to millions of drummers - he was a gentle and very serious person far from the "egomaniac" you mention. He was a great showman and this plus his wonderful artistry on the drums (this is a Buddy Rich quote) made the drummer a high price guy and an inspiration to everyone - Gene Krupa gave so much to all of us drummers and Buddy would have been the first to tell you this

Was a very different era, technically Krupa never came anywhere near Buddy's command of the instrument, not even close. As for pizzazz, I dunno, he seemed like a bit of an egomaniac, and quite boisterous with his playing, as I learned from this clip, the lead actor gets to be the loudest and most obnoxious. If Buddy had Krupa's looks, it would have been 'Gene who'?

got that tune in a 'drummin' man' columbia 2 record lp set-"disc jockey jump"?? anyhow gene & buddy will ALWAYS be compared & they had allot of respect for each other-glad i got to see gene at the metropole cafe in times sq.-he had eddie shu who played trumpet,sax &clarinet so he added allot to a trio. saw buddy with a big band out on l.i. @ 'poor peters' i believe & the best tune he did was 'the carioca'-a tune from his artie shaw days & the clarinet part was played wonderfully by the soprano sax man & then buddy just tore it up. to this day it's like the 'goodman' or 'shaw' question=they are BOTH terrific!

Technically really! if you are playing in one time signature at a time like Rich had to because he was not as brilliant as Krupa who could play in several at once.
