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.

His boyhood friend drummer Jerry Nolan (New York Dolls) also gave him some drumming tips.

The Gene Krupa story has been repeated for years, but is actually of questionable veracity unfortunately. Either way Peter turned out great.

It’s interesting though, to hear Paul Stanley speak of Peter Criss’s abilities, he excoriates him, as not even knowing the basic parts of a song. Paul mercilessly criticizes Peter in his book.

While no one would ever put him up there with Peart or Bonham, he was the right guy for KISS, and the formula worked! So awesome to see someone this guy's age recognizing the genius of an underrated and sometimes bashed drum legend!

@nebbyscumbold
@nebbyscumbold 10 месяцев назад
@@flyingburritobro68 That's not true. Peter Criss was not a great drummer by any means, but he was good enough to be in that band from the start. He was part of a signed band called Chelsea before he was in KISS anyway. There was nothing bad about Peter Criss' drumming at all, he just wasn't a virtuoso like Ginger Baker or Keith Moon. In fact he was probably a better drummer than Paul Stanley was a guitarist. Bob Ezrin complained about ALL of the band as he felt they were poor musicians, even Ace (who was undeniably the most technically gifted of the four); he was astounded that they didn't even know how to tune their instruments. By the time they got to Dynasty Peter Criss had gotten into a serious car accident so was physically unable to play. By KISS Unmasked he had fallen out of favour with the band. You can glean this information by reading all of their autobiographies; Peter Criss' is by far the best of the four by the way.

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
@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917
There's a real irony in this because, at the time, this particular song would eventually lead to him being kicked out of the band. He played the drum part, but he didn't actually come up with it, the producer came up with the drum parts and had to teach Peter how to play them, which he struggled with. So, on the Destroyer album you had Peter playing these amazing groovy drum parts that were taught to him by the producer of the album, and recording a hit song with him on vocals that was written by a friend of his. So, he had an ego that was both earned a d unearned. The solo albums were what really killed his time in the band because the members were introduced to session musicians that could play the parts without the ego. Apparently Peter became insufferable towards the end, mainly because of Beth being the band's biggest pop hit.
@arronjoseph8340
@arronjoseph8340 5 месяцев назад
He played the same shuffle beat on alive one and the first kiss album waaaay before destroyer. His drumming on the first alive album is some of the most raw crazy drumming I’ve heard. And I mean that in the best way. But I do know the whole story of that. I read all the original members books and he certainly had a big ego come the late 70’s. Still wouldn’t downplay his playin in his prime

When Peter's body is void of drugs & alcohol, he is a fantastic drummer.

Playing Detroit Rock City correctly without error takes some real stamina and concentration. It's not easy. I like Eric Carr and have a lot of respect for him, but Peter is the original and the man we're hearing on all of those classic Kiss songs (except on some of Dynasty). Go Catman!

Thank you Mike for sharing this video. Peter Criss deserves more respect. I took one drum lesson from Peter years back during his visit to Charlotte, NC. It was in 1994 when he did a small tour in support of his album Cat #1. Well before the reunion. I worked at NBC News at the time (network). His management team invited me down to see the show as we had NBC News Channel based there in Charlotte off Billy Graham (it's still there right beside WCNC). Still have the signed LP, a few pics and video of me with him.. and signed sticks he played that night. Peter played this show at The Capri, an old movie theater off E. Independence that opened in 1964. Today it's a Hertz Car Sales. Back then, Peter's band came in from the right side of the theater. His tour bus was in this huge parking lot. He did a soundcheck. I was there filming and had a chance to interview him. He walked me around his kit and showed me several old jazz tricks. He did use his "Peter Criss Shuffle" (lol I love that you tagged that in your video!). Several tricks he used in his drum solo that night. He played "UNDER" the kit.. shell shots and cymbal shots in an upward strike without giving up timing / tempo. Not sure if you've seen The Rippingtons (contemporary jazz band headed up by Russ Freeman - big in the late 80s and 90s). Their drummer did a walk-around stick solo -- keeping the groove on the kit, off the kit, down onto the stage floor, around the kit and back to the kit. Peter did a version of this that night. He was amazing to watch. Sadly, the show was a total bomb. The Capri had a 995 capacity limit. The Capri used to have seats.. but at that time it was mainly open floor standing room. That night, less than 100 people showed up to see Peter. They missed a true pro playing jazz grooves mixed into 70s/80s rock style. It was a hard rocking show with Beth being the only slow/ballad style number. He's a true artist and yeah, Gene Krupa is evident in everything Peter plays. THANKS MIKE for all you do!

Wonderful video, and a clear, detailed example of how KISS' musicianship is far more nuanced and dynamic than they're usually given credit for!! Thanks so much for making and uploading this!! I'm not good at using the correct terminology, so apologies in advance for the poor description, but the way Peter plays this beat in "100,000 Years" is a slight variation that includes an additional stroke on the hi-hat at the end of the beat!! That extra stroke is absolutely essential for giving the song its continuous, looping feel rather than the somewhat stop/start (yet swinging) groove of "Detroit Rock City"!! I absolutely LOVE the way Peter makes "100,000 Years" swing harder than a monkey let loose in a hall of chandeliers!! So therefore I'm surprised that absolutely everybody else I've heard, including Eric Singer (who I otherwise rate as highly as Peter) plays "100,000 Years" without that extra detail on the hi-hat!! Approx. 2:45 into this video you'll be able to clearly see (and hear) what I've clumsily described above: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QELGCeXPXIw.htmlsi=q5Em1E4U2RQSQhZp&t=164

Thanks for this video. A lot of metal heads discount Peter as a drummer. Those who have more knowledge understand he had a jazz background which didn't always translate to that metal head mentality. Eric Carr and Singer are great metal drummers but Peter's unique abilities are wasted on those who don't have the ear for it.

*are wasted on those who don't have the ear for it.* This is true for many death and/or tech metal bands, too. Most drummers don't get the respect they deserve just because they use triggers for their kick drums, which is hilarious because that's basically hard mode since it's *much easier* to detect when a drummer isn't playing right. This is doubly so for Meshuggah, whom even many metalheads will often state they just "play the same thing over and over" without understanding anything.

I guess you can say anything on the internet, but I've never seen anyone, ESPECIALLY Paul or Gene suggest Peter's drumming sucked in the early days of the band. His playing was every bit as vital to their sound as anyone else in the band but it didn't last. I have a huge bootleg collection and my challenge to the apologists is always simple. Go through the songs from 74-76 that were played on the 79 tour (King of the Night Time World, Let Me Go Rock & Roll, Calling Dr Love, Firehouse, God of Thunder, Shout It Out Loud, Black Diamond, Detroit Rock City and Rock & Roll All Nite) and find a version on a circulating Dynasty tour bootleg where he played one of them better than he did at any 74-76 show. I'm not even sure there's versions of the either of the songs from Love Gun (Christine Sixteen or the title track) that he played worse in 77/78 than any of the 79 performances. The guy was great in the early years but he wasted his talent and abilities very fast once Kiss got successful. Why so many fans want to suggest otherwise is bizarre.

THANK YOU! Look, he's my drum hero and the first drummer I ever became obsessed with. I believe it was HIM who made the KISS sound so unique. He wasn't a Rock drummer or a hard hitter. Paul always complains that he wasn't like Bonzo but if he was, their sound would have been more square/March-like and the cool thing about those first 8 KISS albums is that... it's Swing-y. If not, check either Eric playing his parts or even any KISS cover by major drummers and... they might be better Rock drummers or even virtuosos but non play it like Peter. Closest thing? Singer's drumming on Sonic Boom but not really. NOTHING against Eric Carr or Eric Singer (or Anton Fig SLAMING IT on Ace's solo album). What the both did on their eras was AMAZING and fitted the material PERFECTLY, but so did Peter on those first 8 albums. Now, on regards to his Shuffles: the simplest is Love Gun (which is literally what you thought he played on 100,000 Years at first) but indeed the two you mention are the HARD ONES! Specially the verses on Detroit Rock City with the open Hats and the double accent on the snare. What's also really cool's the triplets solo on 100,000 Years, which was written even in the demo for their first record. Everybody will obviously talk 'bout Shock Me and that fill with the open hats and the snare BUT my favorite fill of his (and I don't know if he borrowed it from someone else as he did with the Strutter opening from Gimmie Shelter) is the one that precedes the solo on Larger Than Life (studio track on Alive II): Flam on the Snare + kick (x4) and then 2 hits on the Toms. It's really simple BUT so powerful! Anyways, thank you for sharing your thoughts and acknowledging Peter Criss DRUMMING! I believe it to be a great injustice to ignore it 'cause maybe it wasn't as "standard" or "flashy", let alone overshadowing it with his personal life and/or struggles. Regards from Venezuela.

Most people fail to understand theorical complexity of a part it's just a bit of what it gives credit to a musician's performance. To fully measure what the player is doing, you have to also take into account the amount of time you'll be required to sustain that, the subtleties and intentions needed, the stamina to perform well, the stress or even excessive emotion of being playing alive in great scenarios like this kind of artists does. And in the end, what you're playing must sound effortless, solid and send the message that you're comfortable doing it. Acquire that level of control over the instrument is absolutely hard. My full respect to every drummer capable to do that for years.
