Eric Singer drops his drumstick

[alison3946]

finished badly =))), Eric Carr was more agile XD

[DanielArouchian]

even by dropping the drumstick you can'tt really tell if he missed a beat or not..not the end of the world..KISS still rules! :)

[Krazlo]

Viewer 88.888! \m/

[jona4151]

so how old are you?

[rvokoun67]

I am a drummer and I was at that show. I never even noticed it......lol

[MrPedrixs]

LoL normal

[jeg70]

Dropped it and didn't miss a beat :) Way to go! :) lol

[firebreather6661]

if he wasn't on camera, you wouldn't have noticed

[LaochWins]

If you don't drop sticks you aren't playing hard enough.

[LoveIsADarkPlace]

@LaochWins I'm a drummer and Yes' You tell em' buddy. That's how it is, It's normal and not a big deal.

[doctorrockter]

He drops 100 sticks a night. So what!! All drummers do that are constantly doing tricks.. Stupid video.. Eric is god though!! Just sayin.. Lol

[BlazeFireheart]

it happes sometimes even to the best drummers..especially those who do tricks with the sticks...The best thing that he did was to just contiunue

[MixxMasterKid]

WOW I WANT MORE OF THIS VIDEO

[dmsmoke14]

Kejefel2009, its probly on kissology 3

[paok1900]

thats why he wears a helemt..for flying frum sticks!

[luisangel3100]

so does peter criss

Black Diamond in concert at Cobo Hall 1976

[kejefel2009]

Where is the movie from? There's AFAIK no Alive III DVD available.. Just asking, I'd love to have it.

[chacamacaman]

@kejefel2009 it's on kissology 3

[kejefel2009]

@chacamacaman Thanks!

[metalheadjesusfreak]

it happens, the only thing that matters is that it didnt matter!!!he's great!! rock on man!!! i actually hit our lead vocalist in the head once,haha good memories ,keep bangin"

[odracir19891]

It's Ironic... His lastname is Singer and he plays drums.

[beansterman1998]

@odracir19891 DAMN YOU STOLE MY JOKE!!!

[kgrusso]

Who cares if he lot the drum stick.....he didn't lose the beat and made a nice save! He wouldn't be the first or the last....

[totallygames]

I bet this video was posted by a non drummer. If he was a drummer, he would know that dropping/breaking/eating your stick is normal, and you have to pick up a new one every now and then.

[Kewln00b]

@totallygames You know how many drum sticks I go through in a year?!

[totallygames]

@Kewln00b Depends on what kind of music you play :P

[chacamacaman]

@totallygames i AM a drummer, and i do realize that it's completley normal to drop a stick, happened to me a few times, but i know that if i would post a stupid video like this, lots of people would watch it, and it happened, cause people always watch stupid videos like this the most. so did you :p

[pappysmp]

@chacamacaman ...and you

[P715R]

@totallygames you must be a shitty drummer to think that this has anything to do with "dropping " his stick. He was doing that dumb rock trick and dropped it. I have played in at least 100 gigs and I can count on one hand when I dropped by stick, mainly when I was first starting out as a kid.

[totallygames]

@P715R Actually, I don't play drums at all. I do, however, know that when you're playing at large concerts, it can get sweaty and it's normal to drop it. And well done... Would you like me to make a video in your honor? Perhaps a pedistal? If only people were as amazing at drums as you.

[lllCeRexX]

pendejo



[legendsneverdie1000]

whats the name of that song????????????

[imortaltricolor26]

@legendsneverdie1000 

War Machine

[TrimTOODLE]

He reaches for another stick be4 the oter 1 hits the ground !!! PRO

[digital407]

Gene made a mistake he said strike down the one who leads you it's suppose to be strike down the one who leads me. Still a great song.

[deuce1231]

@digital407 Actually, it's quite consistent with how Gene has sung the song live since 1982. On the Creatures album the second stanza of the second verse is "Tear down the walls of reason/Let the arrows fly/Your freedom's just a state of mind" but live Gene has always sung "Strike down the one who leads you/ And you can take his palce/You can vindicate the human race" which is basically repeating the lyrial theme os the second stanza of the first verse, just changing the point of view.

[digital407]

@deuce1231 NOW I KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING I THOUGHT HE MADE A MISTAKE THANKS MAN

[digital407]

@deuce1231 NOW I KNOW WHAT YOURE SAYING I THOUGHT HE MADE A MISTAKE THANKS MAN



[onekoolmedic]

thats why drummers hav eextra sticks right by their side

[truckersaurus]

Check out Randy Castillo playing " I Don't Know" with Ozzy in Russia. He drops his stick, it lands on his crash cymbal, and balances on the bell, he grabs it,looks at Zakk, then pisses himself laughing. All within the space of 2 seconds, oh yeah, and he NEVER dropped a beat!!

Top Drumming kid!!

[NickDrummerful]

@truckersaurus

Can you please give me a link?? I've checked about 4 videos of "I Don't Know" performed in Russia and I couldn't find it happening!!!!

[5150VanAlien]

He's only human but a PRO as he didn't miss a single beat and unless you were standing close enough, you wouldn't know any better...a class drummer.

[NickDrummerful]

Hey!! Check this out!! Eric Singer in anger - /watch?v=c3DbN4HEMmM

[betocg52]

Pombas! Como é que fazem um vídeo tão curto assim, de uma das maiores bandas do UNIVERSO ? Acordem!

[hyperjulien]

Proof that carr was better

[jakoblfuller]

it happens...hes human after all.

[Mssmaimone]

I think this was the only time he dropped his drumstick and it was filmed, as mlk4like1 said, he never missed a beat, he's a pro!

[debgibsonfan]

Happens throughout every show....every drummer.

I notice it all the time....love watching happen, and how they pick up afterwards.

[guidobertisch2]

Actually it looks like he wanted to drop his stick up and the grab it but his missed,

[jesse17ful]

wow this video looks like it took place in the 90s

[RustyBlade69]

@jesse17ful 1992, Revenge tour.

[flatpopsoda]

it hit a couple of drum heads on the way down, made it seem more ironic to stop the highhat

[CombatSportFan]

NICE! "Woops, ok don't panic, assess the situation, drumstick right there, keep tempo, there we go..." All done in the span of 1.5 seconds. 

[JonHawaii2003]

As my father always told me, every musician makes mistakes, it's how you recover from them that separates the men from the boys.

[tenchixryokomasaki]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THAT IS FUNNY AS SHIT! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAAH­AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA­!

[believin13]

who care's. Peter Criss wanna be.

[jake56666]

@believin13 Listen man Singer does not want to be like Peter. SInger was his own individual drummer in the 90's and they put him in makeup fr the farewell tour because peter was being immature and selfish. so when paul and gene wanted to carry on with KISS they would keep the old makeup. Singer is not like Criss at all except for the makeup now.

[believin13]

@jake56666 if thats ur believe so b it. he's a Peter Criss wanna b. he grew listening to kiss & a fan. its his dream come true. same with Tommy Thayer. Bruce didn't do it, as far as putting on the make-up to b like Ace. hmmm wonder why.

[jake56666]

@believin13 It was both there dream come true to be in the band i think singer brings a different sound making him different then peter. Tommy on the other hand does copy Aces style on stage. and Bruce didnt put the make up on because he was happier with his solo career.

[itchyisvegeta]

It happens more often than you think, or a stick breaks. Last time I had a stick break, I turned it around and used the opposite side.

Always keep a bag of sticks hanging on the side of your floor tom.

[CowbellProfessional]

I wish someone posted a YT vid of me every time I drop one of my sticks. I'd be famous by now.

[MentorPitbulls]

Eric Singer ROCKS

[blueparasaur]

It happens ...

[jroach96]

So the fuck what...My drummer who's a bad-ass does it all the time...never misses a beat...

[charleshelber]

bad drummer...hilarious

[Suphiroth]

haha that was fucking cool rest in peace eric singer thumbs up if u agree

[SonoCreativeMedia]

@Suphiroth - Eric Singer is the current drummer for KISS. It was Eric Carr that passed away in 1991.

[crafter99983]

its funny how there audiance got SMALLER as the years passed then got huge again.

[cosmokramer41]

@crafter99983 the audience is bigger and better than ever!

[0MetalllicA]

now i know why there is 13 gigabyte p/m uploaded to youtube T.T

[ErnZtOverture]

[aerosmith425]

[wwestages996]

[DiamondDEK]

Audience was DEAD in that clip...

[GOORVY]

yeah well Eric is a great drummer and he didn't missed the beat, I could see what happened at the second view hahaha so I don't think that anybody in the audience saw it

[DrummanHC]

[3021906]

@DrummanHC PEOPLE MESS UP ALL THE TIME.I BET YOU AINT PERFECT.

[DrummanHC]

@3021906

[Sdrumer15]

@DrummanHC You post a video of you doing that as much as eric singer does and dont mess up once for 2 hours straight. Fuck off bro. Better drummer than you'll ever be.

[lexmarks567]

@DrummanHC

your fucked up cause real rockers get more pussy then you ever will

[tomisboe]

i have that dvd

[FrenchRDD]

It's so cool that he never missed the beat!! a grat pro!

[delacerdaa]

Im going to my first KISS concert 9/3/10 in Tinley Park, IL

Cant wait !

[Sdrumer14]

@delacerdaa It's gonna be amazing i went to kiss as my first concert ever back in november during alive 35 and it was incredible.

[delacerdaa]

@Sdrumer14

I cant wait dude!

Do you know id their touring with the makeup on?

[Sdrumer14]

@delacerdaa Yeah it's with make-up.

[HordeFTL]

@delacerdaa Dude of course there touring with Makeup, they've been wearing makeup again since the early 90's

[delacerdaa]

he got back nice and smooth.....a pro

[studlyhungwell100]

what a dush  baaaaaaaammmm

[Kingondahill]

It didn't make a difference...so...

[manueldiquez]

Big deal, he's a pro

[mads32]

Still he is a great rock drummer .. !! :) :)

[Fsry]

he is the best!!!

[martindelpumas]

wich is the concert

[aassyr1111]

it happened with me once ...i was playing at real fast tempo " around 160 bpm" and during a 16th note fill on the whole kit i dropped my right stick after the fill...2 most important things are 1- keep lots of sticks near you and 2- not to get confused because the beat is the bass and the snare so keep those going well and everything shall be ok.

[sammoth1995]

good save!

[jigglediggle29]

ah, now it is clear why Singer has a helmet on - flying drumsticks...

[SuperVelvetrevolver]

dude hes fucking good

[sasuke3177]

He had a spare (probly like 10 spares) right next to him! XD

[falloutgirl1oo1]

@sasuke3177 Like 100.He Flings like 3 pairs after EACH song, Ok more then 3 pairs but yea.

[superdarkhypersonic1]

i get so pissed off when i drop my drumsticks

[Paitsch]

He played right through that.

[TalZomReX]

I handles it pretty cool

[mk4life1]

He never missed a beat. He's a Pro.

[michaeljacksondude]

@mk4life1 I know right

[MrAndreSChr]

@SandGs72 The band youre watching in this video is KISS you idiot!

[MrAndreSChr]

@SandGs72 Sayin' fool??? Haha!! Take your hip hop language and shove it up your ass

[heavymetal4ever90]

@SandGs72  get over it dude

[klainnorris]

São Paulo, Brazil

1994!

[FieryKane]

Wow. He did a good job of keeping the beat going though.

[Mr8bitgamer]

hahahahaha!!!

[topqualifier115]

hahahahahaha

[schmittydude]

this is exactly why KISS didn't use this song on Alive 3

[JohnRipcum69]

I withdraw my last comment! (This is obviously Eric Singer.) The Strutter in Stockholm mistake is a lot worse LOL

[apbf]

ah, it sucks when you drop sticks. especially if it falls under your foot and messes you up or it gets caught in the pedal and wont let the mallet hit the bass drum head.

[91steppenwolf]

@apbf thats when you throw the other stick and go bongo drum mode

[apbf]

@91steppenwolf

thats right. best do something. it's always good to have a few tricks up your sleeve.

[3021906]

@91steppenwolf LOL

[DXRulZ13]

i hate when that happens!its either ur not paying attention or trying to do tricks and thats exactly wat he did.mistakes happen

[tonyohnoyoudidnt]

Dont try it if you can't handle it!

[Mega123456789100]

Who cares?

[AngelBirdBlissKliss7]

Lol! funny! please be the bunny!

The Rabbit in make-up.

[AngelBirdBlissKliss7]

one more No Singer is Turtleman.

I was thinking he should be in 2004 eric singer

the turtleman well cause I heard that Monkeyman, turtleman were possible in 80s.

[AngelBirdBlissKliss7]

is eric singer on concerta please get off the drugs.

[mikimix96]

aahahah xD

[Clone4115]

even if he did that it sounds even kooler like dat lol he should do that every time he plaiz dat song lol

[mrwasanisong]

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.

[stompnd]

@mrwasanisong

he legitimately uses them, and i dont blame him, if i was up there drumming under all those hot lights i'd have a towel soaked in icewater wrapped around my head.

[herbiedrumr369]

(no offense)"stompnd"but the "Swammie" towel ever seen drummers use em ? ( me neither) .but a sweat towel is a common use which most drummers will not go on stage without as for "wristbands"cant speak for Eric but i use em to keep forearm sweat from running down to my hands,wristbands and headbands(sweat out of eyes) are commonly used for that reason interesting question though kool,

[TheHereds]

name of this song?

[luvgun79]

War machine off the creatures of the night album

[kissomusic]

When he drop his stick you can hear a drum solo, wtf?

[rinnah1168]

eric rulesss!

he didn't stop playing even though he droppped his drumstick:D

KISS RULES!

[drumfreak7645]

haha thats great! us drummers know how to groove!

[Lucasd69]

He never stop his groove, grab a new one and play again. Eric the best.

[KJAnsia]

Uh...

...huh.

[ChokeslamKing]

sweet! he drops it, doesnt stop drummin, catches it, and acts as tho nothin happend! if the camara wasnt there no1 wud hav even known! Eric, u rock!!!

[believin13]

no he just grabs another one. look @ it again. cause i thought the same thing.

[Svedberg92HF]

haha Fail, But Eric rocks, one of my favorite drummers^^

[XwherewewasX]

ha ha he fails

[deadsetmassascared]

This was KISS at their best without their makeup. They should go back to this. And get Bruce back, poor dude got the shortest end of the stick.

[MonstermaniacBotB]

Looks more like Eric got the short end of the stick here... Sorry I had to.

[deadsetmassascared]

That was a badass pun! DAMN!

[hayabusafmw]

wow he'S so good to have continued playing HAHAHA pro's are pro'S long live eric!

[Lifesucksdie123]

he's not even that good.

[ESPguitarsNINJA]

he actually is very talented

[CaseyDrummer]

This is a big deal?

[HeadMan12345]

duh they have like 10 sets os sticks ready right there so he doesnt fuck up the song no bigy everyone makes mistakes lol

[Rohvesori]

Awesome!!!

[lumosluna]

the exact same thing happened when i saw KISS last night!! it fell all the way down and gene had to casusually walk over and pick it up for him XD X

[pumatop]

Nice recovery though.

[bdrich]

Wow,what is the big deal he never missed a beat and he throws his sticks 3 feet in the air he is bound to miss some time.

[RCM3871]

chanrag1207 - Eric wears a helmet for this song because towards the end the giant statue of liberty prop behing him crumbles apart leaving a skeleton face. It's more of a gimmick since I don't think he is in any real danger...although at a KISS show ya never know !

[nate11star]

what is so amazing about this?.... happens all the time, kids....go and ask any drummer

[Directorboy91]

Not all drummers throw their sticks up in the air...

[crissondo]

aqui se ven lo verdaderos bateristas

que salen avilosos de esas situaciones

[PsychoCircus94]

hahahahahahaha :D

[vonroden]

Like someone said before, Eric did recover very smoothly if just listen you wont notice anything

Sure the hi-hat stops but that just sound intentional too me

You rock!
