I think that is Gene Palma, the street drummer who was an authority on Gene Krupa´s style.
Is Gene Palma (NYC Drummer) dead? I’m a native New Yorker and knew him as a famous New York attraction For many years. A really fun and grest all around guy. If he’s not dead in 2017. I’d imagine he’s quite old. If he passed away does anyone know of what? I’m seriously interested. He was certainly a piece of my formative yesrs in the 1970’s. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
Sincerely,
Douglas
