  • @GigiAo28 I agree I got the original forum set in 2008 and I will never sell it even though I also own a pdp m5 maple set I think they sound brilliant

  • PEARL DRUMS  todbeck

    Basic 4 -piece kit solo

  • kiss is lucky to have him as drummer!

  • Eric Singer is AMAZING to watch.

  • this video came with the drums i got about 8 years ago and i gotta tell ya, eric singer, eric carr AND peter criss made me want to be a drummer. This video helped me so much and i dont care what anyone says eric singer is one of the top 2 drummers in rock and roll history.

  • please see

    YOUTUBE/ICEBREAKER"Breakdown"

  • pearl cymbals..lmfao.

    

  • he's fuckin the best he was in alice cooper and now in kiss

  • those Pearl cymbals sound like toys

  • @RigoStar i think they sound no half bad

  • Eric will never be any oher former Kiss or Black Sabbath or any other drummer on earth. Like his drumming or hate it, but its not fair to comapre him to former band members becuase he will never be exactly like them. its true of any musician- they cna never really be replaced, but the band picked who they felt was best for the job, and they have more right to say who's best for the job as drummer than any audience memebr or person of another band.

  • fuckin sick solo!!

  • Pearl Exports- I own the original video and it says Pearl Export, lets clear it up once and for all. pearl Forums were not out at the time this video was made.

  • This is pretty good. What year is this? Was this during his "vacation" away from Kiss between '96 and 2001?

  • @briantorpedo 1999 i think

  • Kick ass drummer right there

  • Bloody Awful!

  • Hey whats with some of the s**t talking on Eric Singer or any drummer for that fact. Come on everyone, were drummers,not singers or guitarists, we don't have egos thats what makes us the voices of reason. Were all part of the drumming family.....lets support each other guys.

  • @joebriery Well said.

  • @joebriery F*ck yeah man!

  • @joebriery he is both a Singer and a drummer. he is a drummer with the last name Singer. its like the only member of zz top without a beard, has the last name Beard.

  • @joebriery EX-fucking-ACTALY drummers trashing on drummers are a disgrace to drumming

  • I like how he mutes the cymbals during the demo. Goes through the whole VERY BASIC drum setting up to playing in 30 minutes

  • Cool! Come see me

    i am a drummer

    im 7

  • Pearl hardware ruled all in the 80's. I still would take an old pearl boom or hi-hat stand to any other brand

  • excelent....

  • This is the Forum set, but are these cymbals and heads stock?

  • stop it everybody , stop saying " this is the best drums solo ever" fuck you, you know nothing if you think that that is actually something tough, its all in 4/4 and 5/4 time sign.

  • Comment removed

  • those are old export pro's from the 80's

  • @dudenasty333 these are pearl forums

  • that is a really old video the is a set of pro experts from the early 80's i no i've owned the same ones when i was a kid just look at the depth of the toms and the lugs that says it all ...but hey pearl rules i will not play nothing els i now own the original style jordisan export kit the one with birch shells not poplar...and i love love it i think it sounds better than my old custums that are maple...eather way pearl always sounds better

  • Eric looks like Dave Ellefson of Megadeth here

  • clown !

  • damn it sounded like im walkin on sunshine at the very beginning

  • damn man simplicity is awesome....

  • lol i remember getting my pear forum as a kid and i watched this video all the time lol

  • Eric is great! Tight as a MOFO!

  • pearl cymbals sound like shit

  • agree

  • so simple yet so pleasing to the ear, you drummers know what i mean :)

  • @biggerboy2 Mr singer was one of the first drummers that ive ever heard. he is why i started playing

  • Comment removed

  • The first time I discovered the double pedal!!!!

    I unpacked my pearl forum (that I still own!!!!) and I found this VHS..ah, remembers..1999!!!!

  • LOL! Same here! everything was pretty decent on that kit. The cymbals sucked of course, but it was a solid kit

  • @GigiAO28 Same here. I got mine in 2001 I think and I've been using them since. Brilliant drums. They sound GREAT aswell.

  • hahahahahaha

  • HA! Eric reminds me of garth from waynes world when garth is playing the white drum set at the music store!! oh and why does eric always wear them black sweat wrist bands? just for the image or does he actually use em to wipe his sweat? just curious.

  • This video is awsome i love the double kick drum in this video it is the best one out there so far

  • YO TENGO LA PEARL FORUM...

  • i went to get drums 2day it was mapex or pearl

    i got forced to get mapex

    fuckkk

  • @ranbrent mapex actually make really good drums. get some decent remo skins and you're set

  • Yeah i know mapex are good,

    but i was looking forward to getting a new set of pearl drums.

    oh well, btw some1 told me that the band lam of god

    the drummer has mapex.

  • @ranbrent yea his names chris adler he has a mapex set and a signaature snare by mapex. i bought a mapex kit off of craigs list cuz i needed a new set, not solely because it was mapex. this is my first experience with the brand i gotta say i love it very much!

  • @Bobbyeagle idk my other drums were wrecked and i wanted to play a gig and i wanted drums right there and then but they are acutely pretty good

  • @Bobbyeagle i dont like remo bc they slip out of their hoops! ludwig heads dont and they sound just as good!

  • @ranbrent

    If you really wanted Pearl, why didn't you just wait?

  • @ranbrent The only time you're screwed in that situation is if it's marching drums.

  • I think it's dumb to compare good drummers, let alone great drummers. Everyone has their own style. I will also not sit back when people dog Peter Criss! Peter Criss was / is an awesome drummer! He and ACE made kiss what it is! When I watch Peter Criss drum, it totally amazes me! He has been a HUGE influence on so many drummers! I like all good and great drummers.  Also, Peter sang on lots of KISS songs. He is truly an awesome musician and singer! LONG LIVE CATMAN!!!

  • this is what "Pete" would have liked to drum like ....

  • Eric's great, and I love him, but Peter never had to drum like that. He used to be a fine drummer with his own stuff, without all that technical flash, and he can sing a pen a nice song to boot. He was there in real KISS, he's a real legend, he's the real catman.

  • sympli but totaly great

  • AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • n he doesn´t , actually he is the KISS drumer and he is in a world tour with the new kiss album SONIC BOOM!

  • Oh the begining was great ;) .I think he's the best drumer all over rock'n roll !

  • does he still drum for cooper?

  • fuck ya he recorded on the recent album ALONG CAME A SPIDER!

  • I belive that he doesn't but I bet that he tuns up as a guest ocasionally

  • heaps harder to play than carr jam. shits on eric carr

  • well- now eric and tommy are the catman and spaceman respectively. deal with it. perhaps if ace and peter laid off the crack-pipes they would still be in the band.

  • look i would highly doubt that they still do that crap now. They left cause pete was having family issues with his father and that he wasnt getting paid as much. Ace left due to pete being treated like a dick. Also pete had breat cancer i would highly doubt he would take drugs.

  • nah, peter used crack-pipes, ace just had a bottle of vodka clued to his hand at all times.

  • There was no such thing as a crack-pipe at that time, you dummy. Peter's worst problem was drinking, and Ace was not a big boozer, though he was into some champagne. Ace's vice was chemicals. The rest is in your head.

  • i always thought Peter was into chemicals and Ace was the alchy

  • Both Ace and Peter were subject to both chemicals and alcohol.

  • I think Thayer and Singer should get their own characters. Ace and Peter are the spaceman and catman.

  • Absolutely Thayer & Singer should get their own characters, but thanks to Gene Simmons and his contract with Sony Merchandising, they can't. To get new identities for Thayer & Singer would be a huge production that Gene isn't willing to work out because he'd rather focus on dollars and cents rather than what's right. It's a disgrace to Kiss fans, man.

  • It's a FORUM set. I know cause I got the video. It came w/ my Export set. When I played this I was really amazed that a great drummer could make any set sound so good!

  • I got this video with my Export as well

  • @lovegun1962 ME TOO :D!

  • History will remember Eric Singer as the guy who filled in for Peter Criss whenever Kiss and Criss couldnt work things out.

  • I disagree. History will remember that the original lineup played together less than the other combinations. Money drove KISS to give the fans a reuninion. KISS has two great players in Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. Much better presentation and with the make up who cares as long as Gene and Paul show up.

  • history will remember the 70's kiss..which is the orginal linup

  • thats right !

  • also jimmy de grasso did 1 show with kiss. It can be seen on youtube but i cant remember the name.

  • yuck pearl cymbals, Eric Singers the man tho, good voice too

  • eric singer is cool for one reason specially, THE SCARECROW

  • master Eric!!!!!!!!!!

    the best drummer :D

  • That looks like a pearl export in champagne frost that was my first kit. Cool solo the cymbals sound like shit though. Good thing pearl doesn't make those anymore.

  • Its a nice colour isn't it

  • thats a terrible position for the toms

  • each to their own

  • he always uses those like that

  • i like his style, but his bass playing is so boring

  • Hey there Bobbyeagle, i got this DVD when i bought my Pearl kit and ive seen to have lost it.

    Do you know were i might be able to find it?

    Thx

  • No idea sorry. You should try your luck emailing Pearl. You might not hear from them, but you never know.

  • hahahahah same hear so what kind of kit did u get?

  • Eric Carr was good but Eric Singer is faaaaaar better.

    Peter Criss was cool but not a very good drummer. He was a bad ass though

  • i got this dvd with my pearl drum set lol XD

  • pearl and tama, the best drums

  • don't forget orange county

  • If you don't like it.... shut the fuck up...

  • he`s playing a texmex beat LOL

  • eric is the best xdd

  • I love the solo but hate the cymbals

  • what the fuck are you talking about??? the dude is the best drummer of KISS with Eric Carr, and he's drum style in "Revenge" was considered of the best in their times.

  • Exactly. Singer's style was (and remains, in my book) very similar to Eric Carr's, which was one of the reaosns he fit so well with Revenge era KISS.

  • Fuck you son of a bitch who the fuck you say? your mather have not technic!!! eric singer is the best Kiss drummer , idiot!!!

  • @Perro2c except for maybe Eric Carr!

  • @GrandFunker That's right, even Eric Carr was a really great drummer ;)

  • that pearl cymbals sucks

  • Damn right! He should use Paiste

  • these cymbals are pearl!! these are not the cymbals he uses..

    he plays with some magnificent zildjians!!

  • yeah he is good

  • dam he is good

  • wow. I was about to say that he's got a fast bass foot but he's using 2 pedals...too bad

    Anyways Eric Singer

  • Eric Singer rules

  • I still have the VHS version that came w/ my Pearl Forum. whats with the bad quality?

  • As I said in the description, I used this video as a test of a VHS to digital set up I had going. The video is over exposed as a result of bad settings and the quality is due to the lack of available settings in windows movie maker and youtubes encoding process. It was either this or recording in full AVI which takes up alot of disk space

  • Eric,king.

  • i love this video!

    this vid was my 500th favorited video :P

  • Eric is a great drummer he own the most drummer

  • thats classic

  • awesome. pisses all ova modern drummers. saw him wiv kiss at download festival 2008

  • Still,when they say Kiss,they will remember Peter Criss or Eric Carr,he has nothing on their techique..

  • dude Eric is an amazing drummer.

    he blows Peter Criss outta the water.

    Peter's a great drummer but nothing like both Erics.

    Eric Carr is my favorite though

  • drums sound awsome, but those cymbals are junk, eric still rocks em though!

  • what drum heads are they??? sound cool..

  • i have this video. i remeber back when i started.

    i still watch this video whenever im going over all my hardware.

    quick question, how long should it take to upload a 10 minute video? my vid has been uploading for like 11 hours.

  • 11 hours is way too long

    mine probably took 10 mins

  • actually dude, to be honest, about "pearl cymbals not lasting longer than a month" isn't true.

    the 18 in. crash ride i used to own was probably equivalent to an 18 medium crash. it just sounded so horrible and obvioiusly didn't have the most attractive finish. plus it barely had any sustain at all.

    but they will last. probably longer than z customs

  • Yeah if you gave these cymbals to a fully grown/pro player they wouldn't last very long. But we gotta remember that these are marketed at teens who are starting out.

  • I dig this solo. It's got groove and finesse. The perfect arena solo if you will. Eric's doing something right considering how busy he is playing with the world's top rock acts.

  • Agreed. Eric's got tons of chops, but he's also a tasteful and intelligent rock drummer.

  • Pearl cymbals won't last more than a month...they suck ass.

  • Yeah but I think the target audience of these cymbals are beginners, not heavy rock drummers (despite what the video may project)

  • casey grillo twins!

  • Seriously even inthis vid those cymbals don't sound anything special, also does no1 here use Paiste? for me theyre the best. I also got a coupla Istanbul cymbals as well n there awesome just stupidly fuckin expensive

  • Pearl only really made these cymbals to sell with their low end kits. When I got my export I made sure to get some zildjians

  • I have the Pearl Forum kit and I hate the Pearl cymbals, I don't really like the sound of them. They are good for beginners but after a while you should save for some Zildjians or Sabians. I freaking met Eric Singer he he so amazing! Great drum solo!

  • soemtimes when you buy a pearldrum the give you the cymbals, sticks, video promo and trone.. all in the same box so you can´t expect that those cymbals would sound like Sabian or so. It´s just to beginners

  • I'd love to hear Eric do a CD with Yngwie Malmsteen. That could be pretty cool.

  • actually, these cymbals crack. I have a better chance of saving up to get some real cymbals that will last me. great solo.

  • esse eric singer é muito ruim prefiro peter criss

  • 1:01 to 1:16. I could live on that china

  • is it bad to like the cymbals. i don't know why, but i like them. don't judge me. i'm entitled to my own opinion

  • Nothing wrong with that. Each to their own

  • Thanks Bobbyeagle. I'm gonna buy these in November.

  • Yeah I was actually surprised by the tone of them...and their Pearl cymbals!

    Eric uses Zildjians now.

  • it's too bad Pearl only makes good sounding drums nad not cymbals, 'cause it kinda takes away from this video, which I've seen a million times,by the way because I got the nice little video tape with my drumset.

  • Yeah it deffinately is a shame! I suppose they didn't want to show their drum kit with a different brand cymbals because they would want to promote themselves all the way

  • I agree with you on that as well.

    -Joe Penn-

  • Yeh, was just thinking about those horrible cymbals too!

  • i have this video too its so cool how he uses the bass drum and slash19891 i wouldnt be talking, i bet eric is better than you

  • Yeah god bass drum

  • why don't you fucks ever just go fuck yourselfs and stop posting this shit on youtube? You always wonder why they get spammed.

  • Kiss loosers??Hey man whats wrong in your fucking head??

  • Kiss - loosers? mr vdrums2112? you're a freakin tard! Kiss is one of the greatest bands in the world, of all times, and you're a fan of vdrums? I can see the problem!!!

  • pues sera mucho pero todavia n me iguala

  • estas pendejo

  • i remember watching this tape when i bought my pearl kit. like i dont know how to set up a drumset lol

  • haha yeh me too, pretty sure id already set up the kit when i watched it :P

  • Funny how Eric is promoting the same maker as Peter Criss did back in the day.

  • cant say i wouldnt take up the opportunity to be endorsed for money myself! but yeah its a funny thing. money has power fellow comute!

  • I can see that but idk...lol...this is a pearl promo I should've known that...lol...but oh well...I didn't really like that...lol

  • lmao...sorry I didn't read the name right my fault...

  • no worries mate

  • actually the reason I asked if you where being sarcastic is because they are bad sounding cymbals :)

  • ROCK N ROll

  • what kind of cymbols are those...they sound great...haha

  • pearl cymbals lol, are you being sarcastic? i hope so ;)

  • Congratulations buddy!! You're great dude... i praise you, seriously. You are the man! Keep rockin'
