If you flake around with the weed, you'll end up using the harder stuff.

Movie night rocks. Tonight on TCM is High School Confidential! and then The Gene Krupa Story. I wish that I could throw down the lingo, man. It would be the most.

This is hilarious, from Wikipedia (I knew that he was bad ass, but I had no idea 'bout the rest of it):

Many consider Krupa to be one of the most influential drummers of the 20th century, particularly regarding the development of the drum kit. But he made history in 1927 as the first kit drummer ever to record using a bass drum pedal. His drum method was published in 1938 and immediately became the standard text. He is also credited with inventing the rim shot on the snare drum.

His influence continued in 1935 when he became a star with Benny Goodman's Orchestra, prominently featuring Slingerland drums. At Krupa's urging, Slingerland developed tom-toms with tuneable top and bottom heads, which immediately became important elements of virtually every drummer's set-up. Krupa also developed and popularised many of the cymbal techniques that became standards. His collaboration with Armand Zildjian of the Avedis Zildjian Company developed the hi-hat stand and standardized the names and uses of the ride cymbal, the crash cymbal, the splash cymbal, the pang cymbal and the swish cymbal.
