Chicago, Illinois, USA:
Eugene Bertram Krupa war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Schlagzeuger, Bandleader und Komponist. Krupa gilt weithin als einer der einflussreichsten Schlagzeuger der Popmusikgeschichte. Sein Schlagzeugsolo auf Benny Goodmans Aufnahme von „Sing, Sing, Sing“ aus dem Jahr 1937 erhob die Rolle des Schlagzeugers vom Begleiter zum wichtigen Solomusiker in der Band. In Zusammenarbeit mit den Herstellern von Slingerland-Schlagzeugen und Zildjian-Becken prägte er maßgeblich die Standardausstattung eines Band-Schlagzeugers.
