Admired by Rich, Krupa, Webb and Me. You don't know drumming if you don't understand Bauduc's style. Drummers do....if only to get that free swing style of Bauduc! My dream come true. John-Hans Melcher

ray bauduc has a strange silly style. Gene Krupa is my favorite!

@TheFUNNYFLOWERS Well I don't think I would describe Mr. Bauduc's style as strange or silly, he just had a unique style...he was a great drummer and wrote many well known songs like

' Big noise from winnetka'... Gene Krupa was a great drummer as well...as was Buddy Rich
