Nobody tells you that the Overture is slow and boring for the first 8 minutes until the Lone Ranger shows up.

William Tell Overture - Rossini

Nice vid, IrishEyes. That was in 1960, when Krupa was 51 years old, but still played great. The 1937 recording of "Sing, Sing, Sing" (composed by Louis Prima) with Benny Goodman may have been the first instance of an extended drum solo., which helped to elevate drummers as equal musicians. His equipment and style of playing immediately influenced drumming, which lasts until this day.

It's not often I've seen a drummer, while in intense & fast playing, switch his left-had stick grip!

This has probably been mentioned several times by now, but it's this one. The first time I heard Fur Elise I was 13, in 7th grade Music class and I just fell in love with it.
