KISS - Detroit Rock City (Drum Cover) age 14 

Excellent. Lots of drummers have covered this, but rarely play the swing feel correctly. As usual you do. Top notch always.

I see Peter Criss *smiling* at his computer about now.

Finally a cover that includes the Peter Criss shuffle! 😻🥁💋

These ghost notes in the snare are f*cking killer! No unnecessary fills, just the essentials, as it should be. Nice cover! 🥁

Sounded great, one of my favorites from KISS.

Snare and kick work were just ✨🤌✨. Too bad the concert was cancelled. Hopefully Paul recovers quickly. Good luck on your sophomore year.

GO AVERY! 🤘🤘🎵💙 Somebody pick this young man up!! He's going to be one of the greats!

Dude two things 1. Yes !!! The slightly swung feel!!!!! 2. The accents w the bass on the snare in the verses!!!Nailed it. Dude your a natural!!!

Brings back memories of the "Kiss Alive" Concert

Avery has those ghost notes down! Excellent!

Complete with the Peter Chris shuffle absolutely awesome!!!

I have been watching you STEADILY improve for the last 8 years. You are just INCREDIBLE!!! Keep it up!!!

Incredible as always! Such a sweet groove, and sidenote, one of my favorite KISS songs! Well played!

It surprises me of how many people play this song wrong. Alex has it down to a science. It’s a swing groove played at 180 bpm. Don’t sleep on Peter. Dude has some chops. Alex you’re definitely giving this justice. 🤘🏿🤘🤘🏻

I've been watching you here since you were six now at 14 you're still great and as handsome as ever. Peter Criss would be proud of you Avery! Rock on my man!

Speechless! First time watching Avery in 12 yrs since his on stage Hot For Teacher vid. Unbelievable! All the best for a GREAT musical career future!

Smashed it! Thanks Avery ☺ Been in my top 5 Kiss tunes for 30 years. Lovely to see it played with the focus on the drummer. Gives us merely human people a shot ar learning the Right way to play it 👍😉💙

Superb! Another terrific piece of playing!

Peter Criss and this groove "100,000 Years" are what made me want to play drums. Great job Avery and the cameraman for getting those important views. Don't forget the bass though.

The Amazing Avery

I absolutely love watching this guy play. Incredibly talented!!

Awesome once again Avery.

You Rock Avery! I look forward to your videos every week. Some really cool affects, great production!

I’ve always thought for years that shuffle was done with the kick drum. Now I know it was the snare. How about covering Metallica- Frantic👍👍🤘🏿🤘🏿

Thanks for sharing brother. Amazing video. Keep them coming. Hope you have an amazing weekend

Awesome!!🥳🥳🤩🥁🥁🥁

Love watching you over the years!! Good Luck with school this year!!

Tremendo covers ...muy bueno..segui aciendo con los temas de los 80 .70..un gran abarzo ...

I get that this supposedly isn’t a hard song, but god I love that shuffle and the snare/kick/hi hat dynamics of this song! Great drumming, Avery!

That was awesome! Great work and a killer song! Loved every bit of that!

Excellent. Would love to you play Frampton,,,,Show Me The Way. Extreme drumming in that

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!

Are you planning on doing a tribute to The Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts?

Always loved the original intro to DETROIT R C! GREAT WORK

Nice double open high hat! Most don’t catch that Peter did that. Ur awesome

Nice ghosts!!! You rock, Avery!!!

Wow... nice job dude. Love the ghost strokes on the snare. Very tasty, and you're an excellent drummer for 14 years old. No question about that. Cheers 🙂

Hi, I'm not sure if you're gonna read this, but thanks for giving me hope on humanity again... Nice drumming, makes me want to get lessons!

Great job Avery. You make it look so easy.

Avery just simply amazing !!!

Oh yeah!! Great choice for a drum cover. Rock on Elvis!! You really are fantastic!!

Absolutely perfect!

Outstanding!

Awesome job nicely done

Top class performance! 👍🏻

The drumming is so solid and professional that it's hardly worth talking about. Solid production video and audio. I'm really enjoying the camera work. Using the drum rack for a transition/ establishing shot. I thought the high hat cam was great. The cut to it was fantastic. I like the moving camera thing. It adds something different to the genre of cover videos. My criticism is too much movement. Personally I like when you move from shot to shot, holding each shot for several seconds then on to the next and so on. Hope this helps. Sorry if my criticism is unwelcome.

♪♫♪DRUMS from Avery - KISS ♪♫♪ ROCK ON! God Bless! "DETROIT ROCK CITY!" 47 years of my life there!

Absolutely killing it.

Great song and excellent performance Avery! 🤘🏿🤘🏿

Verry good! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Kiss forever

Sounds amazing! great job!

I love hearing that hi-hat, good foot control with the hi-hat.

wow you sound good

Wow! This is great and amazing! The drumming and it's sound quality! If only the original recordings sounded this good! They should hire to re-do them!

Very nice, thank you.

Outstanding

awesome editing! great job dad!

When I was 13 I spent all summer and tried to learn the drum part off of cassette tape. One of my favorite songs!! I switched to Guitar!! LOL

Keep on rockin’ Avery!

great cover

Nicely done. This is a very difficult song to play because it's fast and long. I have smoke coming out of my left wrist when i play this song. Lots of people don't play the ghost notes right but you nailed it.

素敵すぎます❤😻❤

Who’s the deaf mute that gave that kick ass drum cover a dislike?

Just found you am aiming to listen to every song you play again....Rock on kid :)

YOU SHOW RESPECT to the original drummer. And it is rare

My favorite song of Kiss YASS

Very pure and clean congrats bro

This has always been an underrated groove.

That snare sounds amazing

Someone with such natural rhythm

You nailed it, young man!

Awesome 👍 💯

You nailed it!! Nice...

My brother just sent me a pic of you and him, he met you at a pizza shop in McMurry. You are an excellent drummer, i play drums also. Keep up the good work.

Finally a young man got it right

That's right you go kid, great job

Nice cover bro 😎

Not an easy song snare on point 👌 💯

*Avery* I had this record when it first came out on 8 track. The thing I remember the most is that thundering bass drum on Detroit Rock City. It just sounded heavy but since that bass drum has been toned down quite a lot. I wish you could have heard that 8 track tape. You would hear what I mean. By the way have you ever done these songs yet? Judas Priest live *Judas is Rising* and Stryper *Rock The Hell Out Of You* . . . Two Killer songs by two killer bands.

Well done, and you even knew to open the hi-hat

Avery, been following you since you were I believe 9 or so, but hey, so you should do a cover of KISS/Ace's "Torpedo girl" I want to hear you do that intro exact to the album!!! Simple for you, but would love to see you cover it! Great job as always!!

Great Track.

Hi there. The first Video I saw from you was Dep Lepard Animal. Nice job

Kiss band. I learned this song for about a few months ago.

WAYYYYYYY BETTER than the current KISS drummer !

That was totally badass

you rock dude👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤟🤟hell yeah

You are just amazing

excellent

You like kiss i love your drumming 1 day im gona be like you 😁🤘🤘🥁

I've been following Avery for who the hell knows how long now and....Damn duuuude!! Boy becoming a man right before our eyes!!! Big props!!!! I fuckin love it!!!!!! \m/ \m/ Keep beatin those skins man!!!!!

Now watch Yoyoka playing this at age 9. Different type of power and control. Both cool.

As soon as that guitar solo you hit your stride.... From that point onwards it was was perfect!! Fucking killer

Tight 👍

Time for a little jam section before I head to work.

🔥🔥🔥

Cool intro man!!!!👍👍👏 Please keep going!!

Fantastic! MDGA ("Make 🇬🇧 Drums 🥁 Great 🇺🇸 Again 🇺🇦!)From Down Under 🇦🇺

I used to go in my brother's room to play the KISS Destroyer album.

you're really good, keep it up
