description: "Eugene Bertram Krupa was an American jazz drummer, bandleader, and composer. Krupa is widely regarded as one of the most influential drummers in the history of popular music. His drum solo on Benny Goodman's 1937 recording of \"Sing, Sing, Sing\" elevated the role of the drummer from that of an accompanist to that of an important solo voice in the band."
