Peter Criss SUCKS?? Try Playing His Most Famous Beat!

Thanks!!!

[syx]

Peter took drum lessons from Gene Krupa himself. A lot of people don't realize he's a jazz drummer playing heavy rock. This is the main style difference between him and the other drummers in KISS.

Those first 4 KISS records have tons of hidden gems. Some of Gene's basslines are fantastic too.

[HORRORHUNTER]

Thanks for recognizing his skills. He's one of my favorites drummers. Had the pleasure to meet him. He's also a nice guy as well!

Love the fact you're acknowledging Peter's brilliant subtleties. His 70s drumming was so tasty. Shame people fail to recognize it as much as he deserves

The “Peter Criss shuffle” works for me. I’ve been able to run through that 100, 000 Years drum solo in my head for years. Peter was always underestimated, but he and Ace were really the true musicians in the band.

[SoloSi]

Same goes for Ace. Listen to the solos on Alive. Unmistakable and no one else on the planet could achieve that feel and tone.

I love the drumming on Shock Me. It's a really creative part. It's a shame the classic lineup lasted as short as it did. To me, that's when Kiss sounded the best..

[bassmanjohn]

Peter's early drumming kicked butt! Plus, I always loved his vocals too!

[kristgeo]

Peter Criss is the reason I began taking drum lessons as a kid. That live version of the song was always one of my favorites.

[TheSylvanpass]

Nice job. I think much of what Peter Criss did on those early albums was unique and solid and certainly not pedestrian. He doesn't get his due. Thank you for this.

This video is literally pound for pound why Peter Criss is one of my all time favorite drummers and why I love his drumming so much. Down to the fact he’s talking about the same exact beat I love by him so much and even calling it the “Criss Shuffle” himself

[roquefortfiles]

His drumming on Alive is fabulous!! Really a show piece. The solo on 100, 000 is amazing.

[MrMetalclay]

I always think about Parasite. Funny thing is that I heard Anthrax cover first. When I heard the Kiss version, I was blown away, that groove is very alluring

[timmycooper]

Eddie Kramer actually even said that Peter's drums were the least edited part on Kiss Alive. He is an amazing drummer and has inspired so many drummers today. He is a legend and no one can take that from him, not even Gene and Paul lol. Long live the true one and only Catman.

[BigBass-xfyi]

100, 00 years from alive1 is my absolute favorite live Kiss recording of all time. Pete’s drums, Paul’s vocal delivery, Aces guitar licks, all gold……

[ograin]

You can really hear it during the guitar solo. It's just great drumming. Gene Simmons actually complemented Peter not long ago saying that the drummers who have played in KISS after Peter had more technical ability but "no one in rock swings like Peter Criss."

[tombrowne]

Peter Criss was the real deal back in the day.He has influenced so many amazing drummers .His drumming on the first six Kiss records changed the rock world.

[dancunningham]

Peter Criss was my first drum hero. His parts seem so simple until you start to understand all of the nuance. Really fun songs to play at any skill level.

[renemies]

The drum fills that he plays on the Alive! version of "Got To Chose" are so damn good. I've never even attempted to play it because it's too difficult for me. Glad Peter Criss, Ringo Starr, and Lars Ulrich get some love from you on your channel!

Thank you for posting this! When this video started I just knew you were going to talk about the groove in Detroit Rock City. I played in cover bands years ago with several different drummers and maybe ONE of them actually got this right. It never quite felt the way it should. Hats off to Peter.
