Randy Caputo

"Randy Caputo appears to be channeling Gene Krupa at times, but he does it with such disarming good humor that it quickly becomes obvious that he’s out there to entertain and have a good time...."

"...Technically, of course, he's got the Krupa licks and looks down. There are a number of things Caputo plays that would have been, I believe, beyond Gene in a technical sense, but Randy weaves them appropriately in and out of the Krupa-oriented whole, and his concept works. Randy, you're all right. God bless and keep swingin' "

“You won't find a drummer like this anywhere.” His show features big-band swing, with plenty of charisma, solos and Krupa's unique style of showmanship. It is a style rarely heard today. What a showman! What a show band!”
“The band’s talent is just part of the experience. The show itself is a treat… but the crowning event of the evening is when Buddy Rich, played by the astonishing Jimmy Ford, battles Krupa [Randy Caputo]. Your jaws will drop in amazement.”
“Randy has spent so many years studying Krupa that he has become a mirror image of the man. When Caputo plays Krupa, everything is correct: the movement of the arms… the distinctive fills on the low-tuned toms… even the facial expressions”
" Man, I aint seen chops like this in years.Caputo, You’re what’s known as a BITCH! "
" Randy has class and is every bit the technician, showman and gentleman that Gene was and as exciting to watch. I'm a huge fan...... Gene Krupa would be proud.
" Randy’s keeping the legend alive. Nobody and I mean nobody, does Krupa better then Caputo. When Randy plays as Gene Krupa…...Caputo IS Krupa! "
