As we all know, Gene Krupa was a major influence on Mel Taylor.
We should post a few Gene Krupa links here.

The second one is THE ONE I'm familiar with. It was part of a
threesome- Sammy Davis Jr. just prior to this footage TAP DANCED
while both drummers
did a bit more than manage to keep up the same tempo. Years
ago I didn't act on the opportunity to purchase the few video
clips compiled of their
great drum battles thru the years. There are two CD's available
of the studio pairings & I do have those. It's no secret that
Buddy Rich toned down
his playing just a bit when squared off with "the man solely
responsible for the drum solo within a song." Krupa was
self-taught & to my knowledge
couldn't read music. That's really why Rich had the edge. Both
had blazing hand speed. Favorite cut ever heard with both
blazin' away- JUMPING AT
THE WOODSIDE with none other than Oscar Peterson, Dizzy
Gillespie, Ray Eldridge & Flip Phillips. Gene was also a fan of
the 'small kit' setup so you
weren't likely to catch him with the Louie Bellson double bass
drum setup. In fact very rarely did I see Buddy behind the
larger kits!

Been particularly enjoying the YouTube of Mel Taylor and Max
Weinburg, of Bruce Springstein's E Street Band and leader of
Conan O'Briens Late Night band. He played a Ventures hit (I
recall maybe incorrectly WDR) and he and Conan made brief
comments about Mel's death ... but that isn't on You Tube. The
Ink interview is one of the better band member talks I ever
read. Substantive.

No, I never knew a 30th Anniversary session even existed! Love
to see it/ hear it. Have we discussed the Weinberg/ Taylor
session videos on this site or UF? (I'm new to this.) If not,
should I try to track it down again on YouTube and A.) try to
post a link, or address here on FOTV, or, B.) Do we download
from there and place it physically on this site (as if placing
it on my own hard drive or flash) ? It was pretty early, with I
recollect Nokie on lead and Bob B. actually sorta gently
dancing. Nokie, needless to say, wasn't moving much (well his
hands were) but he did actually smile widely or maybe even
grinned. Don was, of course, doing all of the above. They were
playing Wipeout.

Yes- go ahead & try to post the actual YOUTUBE CLIP.
But while you're at it, look for HAWAII 5-0 as well with
Max & Mel. Then E-mail me directly about details on the
30th Ann. project.
