KISS - Eric Singer Drum Solo (Sarnia Bayfest 2009)

[TNO73]

I am a LONG time KISS fan & I had to grow to like each "new" member. I hated Eric Carr when he 1st joined, bu tthen I heard Creatures & I LOVED Eric Carr. Eric Singer is IMO the best drummer they have had. Also I am still trying to like Tommy Thayer. Until he does something other than trying to look & sound like Ace he will be nothing but a clone to me. Sonic Boom's guitar sound sounded like it could have been Ace. There was nothing on there to make you think otherwise.

[sarniarocks]

Love me some Bayfest vids... R I P Stokes.

[GFLGlitchers]

BEST DRUMMER!

[blsinstructor4u]

peter criss was the all time drummer for KISS and he has a kick ass drum kit back in th day

[TheDcNBambi]

I LOVE YOU!!!!

[zgomer1]

Very good!

[Mircinoable]

Happy birthday Eric!!!!!!!!

[MrMrLck]

he didn't meant to copy peter and carr's solo beacuse gene told him to do so, actually he can do better than this

[Xbox360Player2002]

Awesome i play drums but cant do that well actually i could a little if i had all of those parts because my is just a basic drum set

[1970Stanley]

I think the best drummer KISS ever had!! Eric Singer you are the Best.

greeting from Holland (the Netherlands)

1970Stanley

[imper246]

shit... i dont remember this solo being this long!!!  i was fuckin Hammered at this concert!!!!

[BoyleTonight]

I understand all the people who say that Peter Criss was the best KISS drummer just because he was the first, but I don't think Eric Singer was the best either, just because he's better than Criss. Eric Carr was by far the best KISS drummer. Best line-up was Paul, Gene, Ace and Carr!

[SecretDady]

eric's drumsticks break at 04.35 :O:O:O:O:O:O

[jspfgh]

@SecretDady

Shit! He beats the drums very hard, then! I use the same sticks as he does, and i still have the first pair i bought a couple of years back, and i play the same music as him!

[SecretDady]

get broken*

[SecretDady]

Eric's drumstick brockes on 04.35 :O:O:O:O:O:O

[pcrvg0808]

does anyone notice the resemblance to Chriss,s drumsolo on Alive two 

[arkas2099]

Still think the guy should have his own persona and make-up... but that's just me.

[2010mpslick]

ERIC SINGER WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH PETER CRISS!!!!!!

[MrAlessio111564]

thats not peter criss, its eric singer on drums, wearing the costume, and playing the single bass drum peter criss drum set. steeling peter criss image, and his years of popularity. eric singer should make his own costume style and play his own solo.

[mistermorrison]

@MrAlessio111564 I don't think it's been Singer's choice of makeup and antics.

When Tommy Thayer replaced Ace Frehley the band wanted him to use Frehley's Spaceman mask and his on-stage habits to retain the band's classic image.

[MaddBadgerr]

5:05 now hes bloody copying peter

[bri1968]

eric carr was the best rip

[TopTenMusicChannel]

I like how

1) i was 15 feet away from him when he did this

2) this was in my hometown :)

[diciembrebajotierra]

I can't imagine Eric Singer singing "Hard Luck Woman", just as good and beautiful as Peter used to... But also, I can't imagine Peter playing the drums like Eric.... ERIC ROCKSSSSS BABYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[diciembrebajotierra]

Alice Cooper on *Brutal Planet Tour on July 2000*. Says -"one of the greatest drumers on all rock and roll... You don't ask me, ask him ERIC SINGER" (Awsome solo ten year ago too)

[marsan079]

I have experienced Peter Crisis live twice,but have yet to do so with Eric Singer,could someone please tell me about their different drumming styles when they're playing live??Please??

[malcolmyoungi]

@marsan079 Peter is just a straight forward drummer that does fills. Eric will take a fill whenever he can. Nothing wrong with both styles but sometimes Eric's fills get a bit sloppy where they dont need to be but he's a very good drummer

[TheFijinbrad]

good dummmer but not impessed by the solo

[brady5991]

ha i was there!! :P

[156nico]

tutto batteristi stasera!!!!!

[cahileman]

KISS rocks!! But Travis Barker is THE baddest drummer around!!

[Metalhazardrummer]

ERIC SINGER IS FUCKING GREAT !!!

[Trixisforkidz]

This guy sucks. Watch Eric Carr. Throw this bum to the curb!

[KenanVideos]

Rob Bourdon's Bleed it Out drum solo rapes this

[beasst94]

joey jordison cant hold a candle to any KISS drummer

Criss and Singer are 2 diff dudes, two different styles, so stop bitching

[TheMosseh]

I don't mind Kiss. And this isn't a bad drum solo. But i don't think it's very special! I mean, look at Matt Sorum's in the use Your Illusion 2 DVD! Bloody Epic!

[ChrisTOFFER1276]

amazing guy

[compuware97]

It's a prtty good solo but nickelback has a better one. Check it out. I rayed 5*. Nice vid.

[nissansentraglx]

wonder if eric minds having to change his appearance in order to please everyone else? thought he used to have long blonde hair?

[Patchmagic88]

@nissansentraglx well clearly he doesnt otherwise he wouldnt be doing what hes doing

[jspfgh]

Eric uses a Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Ride!!!!

[mrwasanisong]

#

mrwasanisong how can eric still play like this when he is 58??? thats amazing!! 1 second ago

[beasst94]

@mrwasanisong drummer's are extremely fit people

no one else in the band uses all 4 limbs to play

[tlr3843]

he's 52, but who's counting? (other than me and apparently you)

[GANLEYBRAND]

@mrwasanisong Eric`s 53 not 58!

[tulling234]

saw him play drum solo with alice cooper. best drum solo i ever heard

[ben80s08]

hey eric carr was good he kept the band together in the 80s

[bassmanjoe]

Great to see him on a smaller kit than those big monster kits. Just my opinion, just shows what a great drummer can do on less.

[bassmanjoe]

I love Peter and Eric Carr, but singer puts them to shame. He is so musical!!! So clean, and his drum sound is fantastic!!!

[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.

[mgirardi1]

@mrwasanisong probably both, its been a trademark for years, yet drummers have the toughest job so he probably does sweat a lot

[Yoshiki0hk0]

eric carr and eric singer both good

[alraune6666]

..and a great drumsound...

[MrJoeezz]

great drummer !! he has come a long way!  one of my favs!!

[MrLuisangel999]

criss played to slow carr played to fast and singer plays right speesd and dat makes them all unike criss had good solos carr hadd great solos singer has great solos dey al werr great kiss drumers

[atomicdave77]

I don't care if he could burn Buddy Richs ass....(not even close), criss still THE Catman....just not respect for gettin in someone elses costume/makup/character...all about the damn $ ! Won't be buying the 'new album' at the local wallyworld....

[ermak273]

damn!! i´ve just watch a drum solo of '92 and back then he was good but not better than criss or carr. nevertheless, now he´s considerably improved and criss should lick his boots hahahaha

[kissdrumr]

The 1992 one was waaaaaay faster & better than this one i dont know what u watched he was way better in 92

[mrv1967]

I think you have to keep it in perspective - Eric Carr would have only gotten better and probably much more proficient if he were still alive. Eric Singer is a monster drummer, but if Eric Carr were alive - he would absolutely smoke Eric Singer - keeping in mind if Eric Carr had 19 more years added to his life!

[kissdrumr]

Eric singer smokes all kiss drummers Carr was good but nowhere in the ballbark of singer. And i was born into kiss in 1973 . Peter is my favorite but technically drumming Singer is waaaaay above carr & Criss

[Tonyr67]

NO WAY!

Eric Carr played always way too fast, wich had no dynamics at all. His grooves 'n beats were allways too basic.

Eric Singer eats Carr & Criss for breakfast.

[1994lebaron]

i want his drum set!!!!!

[zayac21]

hes the best drummer in the world rock on eric singer

[ccjr39]

Eric Singer is a great drummer..But Eric Carr was alot better.....RIP Eric

[staticfire77]

fuck u peter fuckin criss

[subverzive]

No, man... he wasn't. Carr was really awesome... but Singer plays another dimension.

[Alexhalulko]

Both Carr, Singer ,and Criss are Good.

[Alexhalulko]

I Agree eric carr is better, But i respect eric singer too.

eric carr is still my favorite drummer.

[ElvisplusLegoistrue]

just awesome!

[hahahomer]

so did singer cut and dye his hair to do the catman or is it just a wig

[beasst94]

thats his hair

[mobaseballx20]

GREAT DRUMMER!

[jspfgh]

no one can beat him

[mochs180]

Great Solo! Got my tix today cing em on nov 6 in chitown. Cant wait

[alastq]

drum set needs more cymbals but awesome drum solo

[beasst94]

i hope you're not one of those cymbal whores like everyone else on youtube

[Egroegness]

peter criss was amazing but he got fucked over because of the drugs and booze but u got to admit eric singer is a fucking good drummer

[beasst94]

booze got to space ace

not pete

[Egroegness]

yeye

[BiologicalUnit2380]

Its missing the big gong at the end. This Sarnia Bayfest stuff reminds me of when I saw them waaay back on Love Gun tour (1977 i think). I'm impressed with the quality of their performance now. (wish Ace & Peter were there though - for nostalgia's sake. Eric & Tommy do a great job though.).

[jspfgh]

eric singer is the best drummer of kiss

[siritzky]

I got respect for both Eric and Peter but from a drummers perspective...Eric Singer is the man and he grooves like a legend. Peter was pretty sloppy in my opinion. Eric Carr was awesome too

[Lucasd69]

C'mon Peter was just so so and keep the beat. You love him cause he was the first Kiss drummer. Don't compare Singer with Criss, they are not in the same league. Singer his the best Kiss drummer at this time and by far !

[thefallofmaxpayne]

Peter forever, slinger never

[Hevlett]

@Lucasd69 Dont Forget Eric Carr!

[brian7125]

@Lucasd69 ...ever heard of Eric Carr?....

he was the best of them all.

[Fsry]

@Lucasd69 You just wrote what I think about Eric... He is the best drummer in the world, forever and ever! .\m/

[garfieldrocks619]

did he over dose on drugs or something

[chanrag1207]

no one in KISS ever over dosed on something.....peter criss and ace frehley just used to be addicted to booze or whatever you wanna call it.

[Egroegness]

booze and drugs

[garfieldrocks619]

i just became a fan of kiss when i went 2 this show in sarnia ontario what happened to eric carr

[Spaded19]

Carr died of cancer...

[TheChrisOliver]

mines 9 minutes this isn't the full one but i got to say its up closer

[JustTubinAround]

Peter Criss was a lazy, boring drummer...Eric Singer is great and full of energy...but the best drummer KISS ever had was Eric Carr. RIP

[dav24642]

i like the faces he does, he never quit his character. he looks almost bored and lazy like a real cat

[maryquant1967]

YES!! you got it. I saw them live in Quebec City and I am not really a drum solo lover but he did it with such personality. He knows how to wear the makeup!! I was transfixed.

[dav24642]

hey t'était la toi aussi!!! c'était fou comme show

[Lucasd69]

This solo his "vintage" and Eric play to reproduce the "old Kiss fashion". He can do better and by far. This guy use normally double base drum and his really technic. On this set, he use double pedal but he play all old kiss songs. Not complicated for him. I see him with Alice Cooper. Wow incredible. One of the top 15 drummers in the world.

[kissfan864]

Awesome solo by an awesome drummer!

[kreugfire926]

peter does not suck! have you heard his solo on kiss alive?! fucking incredible, peter and eric are talented in different way's, neither of them are better.

[DerTrommler3D]

I don't know what you're on, but if you read "KISS: Behind the Mask" there is an ancient interview with Eddy Kramer and he says all of the members names and how good they are. When it comes to Peter, he says "Peter was lucky to be in that band".

[kreugfire926]

dude i understand what your saying, from a rock-and roll stand point eric is a better drummer, but peter has alway's been more of a jazz drummer, he said it himself, you technically yes your right, he was lucky to be in a rock band, but jazz drumming is a bit different than rock drumming, but i do agree that eric is more fitting for kiss.

[simeonziff]

Saying Peter is a jazz drummer is like saying that Gene is a fusion bass player. Peter can't play jazz. He has trouble maintaining a steady meter when he does a drum fill in something like Deuce. Peter did peak in about '75 and it's been downhill since. By '77 he couldn't even find the groove most of the time when playing live. Please do not say Peter is more of a jazz drummer. I've never... never ever seen him play jazz. Can you imagine him covering Buddy Rich? No way!

[heavymetal4ever90]

yeah he took 2 much drugs in 77

[KISSPhace]

Peter is no jazz drummer. He's merely a Fan of jazz drummers.

[angus666ify]

talented , but joey jordison uses two bass drums for solos

[spongspongspong]

What is your point?

[holtzendorf]

@angus666ify He Used 2 bass drums for Alive 35 North American Leg so.....

[SorgensKammer82]

@angus666ify

what a senseless statement ... ... are u a drummer btw?

[renshammar]

@angus666ify Utterly pointless comment. So what? Joey's more overrated then he's good.

[Wolfgangkay]

@angus666ify LOL XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hugodogobob]

@angus666ify so does eric... on occasions

[maxisslipknot]

@angus666ify i loove kiss and eric singer to peices but joey is amazin

[pearldrummer1]

@angus666ify ummm idiot, Eric Singer has a ghost pedal and is using it in the drum solo. LOL dumbass

[MetalReign999]

@angus666ify  Jordison is overrated

[MotorheadDrew]

@MetalReign999 Like an absolute Fuck!

[renshammar]

@angus666ify Oh that's rich. You're comparing jordison with Singer?

Then I can compare Jordison with George Kollias, wich makes Joey look like a child with his first drumset.

[Disengaged5]

@angus666ify hey joey jordison is my favorite drummer also, but it doesnt matter if you have one or 2 bass drums.... its not about looks. its about how a drummer plays. it obviously seems like you dont know what your talking about.

[Alienubi]

@angus666ify so???

[hitdog042]

Titanstar, plain and simple, you have to be the biggest idiot I've ever seen type a comment.

If you care how old they are, that shows you know nothing about music. There are several top notch acts older than them. Who cares, they still sound great.

If Gene and Paul ever leave? Oh wow. Dumb A**

[Falconetti182]

i was totally there in the unliscensed vip :D

would have liked to be in liscensed though...

but still.

the show was fuckin rad!

[grabber2cool]

i was totally there but i ws in liscenced area not VIP which would have been way better but still an amazing show like always ... :D... great quality man

[steelerkiss]

Hmmm. John Bonham in Peter Criss makeup

[TitanstarDH]

Eric Singer The Raven Alice Cooper!

kiss is retiring shout it out loud...lol

cant wait till that day comes...lol...

and if gene and paul leave...

it WONT even be a band anymore

[TitanstarDH]

Im not going to watch any more kiss videos I think??? maybe??? I will...

that is all...

[TitanstarDH]

paul stanley the star guy' has he grown up yet...

[TitanstarDH]

and gene is old too

[TitanstarDH]

I dislike eric singer, tommy thayer

that is all

[Thelightjoke]

That Wasnt A Whole Show

Im going to see them if they come to toronto

[FrosredZiggy]

It was a 2 and a half hour show, it was from 10:00 to 12:25, they played alot man I was there. Most fun night of this summer I will have.

[Thelightjoke]

Still It Wasnt A Full Show

[Thelightjoke]

We Miss Peter Criss

[chaircitydude]

speak for yourself. I don't miss Pete's tepid playing at all, nor do I miss "Beth" grinding the show to a halt. Eric is a kick ass rock drummer. Pete wants to call himself a "Jazz drummer", and record music influenced by Barry Manilow anyway.

[Thelightjoke]

Peter Rules!

[rockandroll42]

Peter SUCK!!!!!!!! He was the worst drummer KISS ever Hade...And He was a cancer for KISS plus a Fuckin' No talent whiner...He wrote only a little part of BETH and tought he was brilliant enough to leave KISS and became a Solo artist HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! What a joke!!!

[bombsquad2112]

whooaooaoaoaoaoaaaaaooooooooao­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooaoaoaoaoaoaoaoaoaaaaoooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooa!!­!!!!!!!!

[bombsquad2112]

THIS IS BAND ARE GODS IN HUMAN FORM!

[RokDAWG1]

Is anybody catching that this is like a cross of several old Peter Criss solos and actually sounds NOTHING like the old Eric Singer solos?

[mashmlowmnkey]

hey wheres the gene simmons solo ?

[MrChops80]

blows peter criss away easily

[MoanaLindsey]

cause he's an old fart

[Malta32]
