Google's head of HR argues that a top-notch engineer is worth "300 times more than an average engineer"
Spotlight
There was a time when the drummer in the band was really just there to set the beat. There was no such thing as a drum solo and very few people knew the names of bands' drummers. Then along came
Gene Krupa and all of that changed. Joining up with big band leader
Benny Goodman, Krupa's showmanship and virtuosity made him a hit with jazz and
swing aficionados. Krupa was the first drummer to record a song with a
full set of drums, not just the cymbals and snare drums. He was the first to give solo performances and is credited as being the first to use a
rim shot on the snare drums.
Superstar drummer Gene Krupa was born 100 years ago today.

A
rimshot is the sound produced by hitting the rim and the
head of a
drum at once, with a
drum stick. Rimshots are usually played to produce a more accented note, and are typically played loudly. However, soft rim shots are possible.
