Gene Krupa "Body and Soul" Drum Solo from Live 1952
🕑 Added 2024-04-24 21:17:43 +0000 UTCBody and Soul was played by Gene Krupa Trio which starts as ballad but it gets faster in the middle. Gene uses brush all the way through to the drum solo.
The first 4 bars are supposed to be additional bars for the previous chorus of piano solo, and the actual chorus seems to be starting from the 2nd rows. It makes perfect melody for 16 bars, and another 16 bars which makes 32 bars chorus. However, after 4 + 32 bars, it becomes vague whether if Gene is trying to play the solo within the form of AABA or he went completely open. Though it is more persuasive to think the whole triplets to 16th note stroke roll thing as some kind of sign that lets other players to know the solo is ending soon.
Gene especially uses various dynamics and several tones on accents on drums so it is hard to make the sheet accurately. So I highly recommend you to listen to the actual song when you read the sheet.
First 2 sheets are the sheet without stickings. Since it's only the sound, I can't be sure about the stickings that Gene did. However, on the second 2 sheets I wrote the stickings as far as I can imagine from my experience of transcribing Gene Krupa. I hope it helps in case anyone here is trying to play.
