It was actually Frankie Carlson, who was Woody Herman's drummer at that time. (circa 1943)
I remember a 45 rpm recording from the mid 1950's where Gene Krupa played "Golden Wedding" as a solo drum performance. It was a wild, explosive, flamboyant recital.

The swing band drummer known for playing "like the wind" was Gene Krupa. He was renowned for his energetic and innovative drumming style, which helped to elevate the role of the drummer in big band music. Krupa's dynamic performances and showmanship made him a prominent figure in the swing era. His work with bands, particularly with Benny Goodman, solidified his status as a legendary drummer.
Before Gene Krupa, the role of the jazz drummer was primarily limited to that of time keeper. Drum solos were confined to moments between songs, often while the rest of the band was on a break. During that time the drummer just tried to hit as many things as fast as he could. Krupa liberated the jazz drummer from that role. Krupa is often credited with being the first to incoporate a drum solo into a song. That song was Sing Sing Sing, recorded in 1937 with Benny Goodman. Krupa's melodic style was unique and is still very rarely reproduced even by modern drummers, who are often very technically adept, fast and furious, but rarely make their drums sing.
Ethel Maguire, the wife of jazz drummer Gene Krupa, passed away in 2009 due to complications from cancer. Her death came after a long battle with the illness. Gene Krupa, a prominent figure in the jazz world, was deeply affected by her passing.
