A rare concert poster announcing the performance of world-renowned drummer and showman Gene Krupa and "His Famous Swing Orchestra." appearing at the "New Ocean Casino" in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The poster measures 14"x 22" and is mounted on a 19"x 28" piece of pasteboard. There are some tears at the bottom and cellophane tape marks on the corners. None of detracts from the poster or its significance as a classic piece of American musical history. Krupa was a pioneer of drumming techniques as well as introducing the full trap set to recording. Previous to his innovation, the "kick" or bass drum was not used in recording, because it was feared to deep sound and vibration of the drum would knock the recording stylist off the recording disc. He is often referred to as "The Founding Father of the Modern Drumset." This poster is dated Friday, August 19. Research uncovered that the year for this appearance is 1949, although not noted on the poster. A great piece of music and American history. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
