@DCdanger That is too difficult for me and as much as I like Black Diamond and Beth they are not my favourites. I prefer the slightly more obscure Getaway, Strange Ways, Mainline, Hooligan, Baby Driver, Hooked on rock and roll and Nothin’ to lose chorus
Honestly, it's Paul Stanley who started all of the hate towards Peter and Ace. He only needs to look in the mirror to see who the weak link was in that band. Ever notice how their entire setlist is made up of all the old songs?
Wow! Pete can swing! He was my childhood hero and influenced me to start playing drums at age 12 when the Kiss Destroyer album was released. I recall reading that he was a student of Gene Krupa, but I never really heard that influence until now.
@@garrycollins1475 - no you are wrong he was swinging just not continuously from time to time his snare shots were right on the beat unfortunately. Hs fills had swing he was just incapable of completing the lines but he each time he started out correctly and then faked the hard parts because he's not that technical but overall he pulled off a swing feel no question.
You could tell Peter was just enjoying himself playing. Reminds me of the music in the old cartoons when I was a kid. Looks he sat in for someone's special occasion. Way to go 🐱man!
@@elmhurst86 Peter Criss was an avid art student and a swing aficionado.[7] While playing with bandleader Joey Greco, Criss ended up studying under his idol, Gene Krupa, at the Metropole Club in New York.[8] Eugene Bertram Krupa, was an American jazz drummer, bandleader and composer. Krupa is widely regarded as one of the most influential drummers in the history of popular music. His drum solo on Benny Goodman's 1937 recording of "Sing, Sing, Sing" elevated the role of the drummer from an accompanist to an important solo voice in the band.
@tlaneb1 Lol! Which site did you copy this from? You're obviously not a serious drummer. As great as Gene was, the height of his influence was almost 100 years ago. Do you even know who some of the best jazz drummers on the planet are in 2023? I love Peter Criss, but to give the impression that he is a "Jazz influenced" drummer to prop his stature up as a great musician is mis-information.
Wow!!! Simply amazing, this is the reason for what's my favorite kiss member !! The one and only catman will live forever as a original drummer member. Rock on Mr. Criss !!
No way peter could do live shows. He sounds decent here, but this is probably all he played. Peter's biggest weakness has always been strength and endurance, and he's nearly 80 now, so that probably has certainly only gotten worse. I bet his hands were already hurting after this little set.
Peter Criss was my hero for a long time, and I learned a lot from that guy when I was a kid learning drums. As far as the count and what your foot did and the hands and so on. Drove my mom crazy. Yep.
I could listen to the Catman play the drums all day. I would love to meet him someday and thank him for his music and being my first drumming influence. Long live the Catman Peter Criss. ❤️🤘🥁
Peter is the reason I became a drummer!!! He's play's better than ever! I love to listen to him play! He still can rock it!!! Gene Krupa was Peter's inspiration. I love to hear him play Jazz!
VAMOOOOS Peteeeeer ❤ desde que me compré el cassette Dressed to kill en la disqueria La Pirámide en la estación Boulogne y escuché tu bata en Room Service que te amo y amo tu batería. No te mueras nunca Gato querido, mi Kiss favorito. Diego de Boulogne.
Thank You Peter. You do the swing justice. My favorite as well. I met Gene Krupa in 1966. He didn't like me much as I remember, due to the fact that I was a little kid. Ha!
This made my day! One of my favorite drummers and the reason I play drums swinging the big band. It's great to see Peter playing. Keep it up, Pete! You have many fans and you have inspired many drummers.
Totally Killin it!!! Pete still plays fkg amazing. This might be the best I've seen him play actually. Brilliant. The man is the reason I play drums. He taught me how to play pretty much.
This guy was the first big influence on me becoming a drummer. I’ve always heard he came from a swing/big band background but never actually heard him do it. He seems right at home here.
Peter has always been a jazz drummer at heart. Respect that he’s past 75 and , though not a metal / hard rock drummer anymore , he’s still a legend
Peter seems to be relaxed, content, and comfortable with himself. I'm glad to see it!!!
Peter is Awesome, still my favorite Kiss drummer. Glad to see him having fun and enjoying himself.
You can see he's far happier here than going through all the crap he had to put up with working with Gene and Paul.
It's where his heart is and he's having fun. That's all that matters.
Long live "GATO"
I agree, and so pleased for him.
This man is one of the reasons I play drums.
I hear ya! Peter and Mick Tucker of (The) Sweet are primarily the main reasons i ever reached out to pick up a pair of sticks. RIP Mick 🤟🏻
Same here.
Me to, Brother!
Me as well Mr Gary, he was a very large influence on me. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Criss twice.
Me, too..Him and John Bonham.
Peter is now the other side of 75 and still swingin’. Also an amazing vocalist.
Black Diamond was always my favorite KISS song because of Peter's singing
@DCdanger That is too difficult for me and as much as I like Black Diamond and Beth they are not my favourites. I prefer the slightly more obscure Getaway, Strange Ways, Mainline, Hooligan, Baby Driver, Hooked on rock and roll and Nothin’ to lose chorus
beth was my fave
@10amp That was the big one and even my mother likes it
@@dcdanger6151 tru. No1 can do justice to Black Diamond like Peter can.
I could never understand the hate Peter gets for his drumming. This is awesome and if there was no Peter there,d be no Kiss.
It was the makeup. Same reason people use to say Ace couldn't play. If they didn't like the image then they could't hear past their eyes.
Honestly, it's Paul Stanley who started all of the hate towards Peter and Ace. He only needs to look in the mirror to see who the weak link was in that band. Ever notice how their entire setlist is made up of all the old songs?
@@chrisd913and how Peter and Aces solo records during kiss were hits yet Gene and Paul's sales tanked.Says it all.✌
@@chrisd913no it was their lifestyles that created bitterness with paul
Let's face it without Peter, and Ace, there would have been no Kiss
I love to see this for him. Just feels like this is where his heart is at... and this sounds fantastic!
Man, that CAT can swing! 🤘🤘
Wow! Pete can swing! He was my childhood hero and influenced me to start playing drums at age 12 when the Kiss Destroyer album was released. I recall reading that he was a student of Gene Krupa, but I never really heard that influence until now.
No, he can't! Earthbound and struggling 😮

It looks like Peter is really enjoying himself here, and that’s what playing music is really about.
Catman is still purring 😻😻😻😻😻
It's wonderful to hear Pete drumming to a different style of music. Still got it Pete 👏👏👏
Peter started out in big band
Legend! That FEEL and that TONE! The one and only Peter Criss. Thank you Catman!
The one and only original Catman. Peter Criss ❤❤❤
Hi! OMG! I absolutely love Peter! Way to go Catman! It’s Amazing to me that he still plays the way that he does! Love it!😍
Glad he is alive and well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He should do select dates with a jazz band wearing a shirt and tie with the cat makeup… call it “Dressed To Chill” 😸 😉
😄
Brilliant
Better start passing out the collections plate so he can pay Gene to license the cat makeup.
Too cool! My friend was the keyboard player on this. I couldn't believe when he mentioned he got to play with Peter!
What an honor, I imagine.
@NobleBruv yes! My friend is usually brutally honest. He said Peter had some serious chops!
Wow. .. ! He looks like someone who's embraced how old he is and doing it in style,instead of hiding behind wigs and sunglasses.Very impressive.
As a KISS fan of the OG era it’s cool to see Peter playing the music he loved and listened to long before he was in KISS.
You could tell Peter was just enjoying himself playing. Reminds me of the music in the old cartoons when I was a kid. Looks he sat in for someone's special occasion. Way to go 🐱man!
He's finally playing that jazz/big band music he loves after all... I am happy for him.
Yeah! The old Cat's still got it! What a pleasant surprise coming across this vid. A Krupa Cat Kiss!
So great to see him back and having fun!
Was always known and appreciated by many drummers for the swing in his rock drumming. Legend!
This is fun. Nice to see him out there
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
So awesome. He is having a blast. I love the guy. Always liked his drumming and his voice is cool too.
I'm 66 years old and grew up on rockn'roll and heavy metal, but I still like the big band sound.
fantastic peter criss
THE CAT MAN Nailed it you go BRO !!!
Swing on, Catman. My forever drum idol.
I was totally impressed by this!
Peter Criss is a jazz drummer. That's where his influences were growing up. That sounds fantastic. 🤩
Lol! He's a high school stage band drummer at best. Don't make him out to be a Tony Williams. And I say that as a HUUUGE fan of his.

Yes very joyful , great Peter love it
I makes me smile to see Peter doing something he enjoys.
Very nice Peter. Aging with grace, flowing with the band. Thank you for the great music and spirit you have given your fans since the 70s.
Very cool!! That's "Sing, Sing, Sing". Benny Goodman with Gene Krupa did a great version. Great to see Peter playing
Wow!!! Simply amazing, this is the reason for what's my favorite kiss member !! The one and only catman will live forever as a original drummer member. Rock on Mr. Criss !!
Oh this is lovely- and he looks like he’s having a wonderful time too 👏
Peter is still the man. Have a safe and a happy holiday season my brother. Much love and respect.
Loved it! Great to see Peter having fun.
my number 1 influence. thank you
Awesome drummer, so underrated. He's a legend 💪🏼🤘🏼🐈
it's great to see him having fun behind the drums again.
So awesome to see the ‘Cat grooving out in his element! Thank you for sharing this video! “Peter Criss!!!!”⚡️⚡️
Peter Criss. It´s much more better seeing this, than seeing any other member of ''KISS'' right now. This has true feeling and groove
Love this! Peter was the “ heartbeat” of the band… in more ways than one!❤️
fantastic Peter
So great to see Peter still playing. Makes me happy 🙂
Go cat go ! I love ❤️ peter criss.Glad to see him having fun.
One of my inspirations for drumming!! Thank you Peter Criss! KISS is still not KISS without you on the drum throne!!
THAT IS RITE !!! KISS IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT CRISS !!!! WE HAVE SUPER WORLD FAMOUS 🌎 MR ERIC SINGER!!!!
AWWWW...my teenage hero 🤩 so glad to see him
Peter!!! ❤
He is so in his element! Wonderful
He will always be my favorite KISS drummer and both Peter and Ace were the backbone in the band.
YES THE BACK BONE 😂 ON THE REVENGE ALBUM 😂
Yes for sure. That would be the only way I would see them. Original members
K I⚡️⚡️
Granted but they could have stayed but chose to dabble
Hardly the backbone. Great musicians, but gotta show up for work.
I would buy tickets to see him playing Big Band music. Get on the road Pete!

Fukk I'm impressed!💚

Peter looks great. I haven’t seen him in years. I also love how he doesn’t get into the back and forth with the others
Awesome. Peter back to his jazz roots 👍
So great !!!
Exceptional. What an absolute legend.
Wow! Amazing.
I feel about Peter Criss the same way I feel about Bun E. Carlos. When they were in their respective bands, they made them swing.
Bun E Carlos is WAY better than Peter Criss and always has been.
It’s not even a contest.
@@royalslack😂🤣
Agreed!
KISS 2023 DONT NEED (SWING) 😂LOL NOT EVEN ON THE REVENGE ALBUM AND CREATURES ALBUM!!!!
@LOUIS-np6be that's ok 2.0 KISS is going to be over with in a few weeks. 😁
That was awesome
Great to see Pete doing so well....🥁🥁
Catman looking and playing great! So glad to see he's still going strong.
Peter Criss must start the: PETER CRISS JAZZ ORCHESTRA!!!
I could listen to the Catman play the drums all day. I would love to meet him someday and thank him for his music and being my first drumming influence. Long live the Catman Peter Criss. ❤️🤘🥁
I'm diggin' this, man, this cat has some chops! Hah, warms my heart seeing Peter drumming🤘🏼
Pete is always in the pocket. I love his drumming
WOW!!! That was badass 🥁
Why I love this channel..
Echt leuk om te zien, dank jullie wel, 🤘🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🤘
Very cool stuff…wondering where you been
Peter's looking dapper in a tie. This is class.
Long live The Catman!!!🎉
Always the Catman and an amazing talented musician!
I love PETER CRISS! SO Awesome!
I love this song
Peter is the reason I became a drummer!!! He's play's better than ever! I love to listen to him play! He still can rock it!!! Gene Krupa was Peter's inspiration. I love to hear him play Jazz!

Thank You Peter. You do the swing justice. My favorite as well. I met Gene Krupa in 1966. He didn't like me much as I remember, due to the fact that I was a little kid. Ha!
YAAAAAAAAAY!! WAY TO GO, CATMAN!
You really rock as always.
What a beautiful thing is to see Peter "The Catman" Criss playing his heart out. Echos of that MONSTER drum solo from the '70s. True legend!
Still Awesome after all these years
No matter how old Petey boy gets, to this day l always learn an impressive tip when I see him solo.
Sweet sweet swing! 🤘
Much Love for Peter Criss!!
Sing Sing Sing Holy Cow Way to go Pete. The one and Only CatMan. O Yea
He truly looked liked he was enjoying himself...
This made my day! One of my favorite drummers and the reason I play drums swinging the big band. It's great to see Peter playing. Keep it up, Pete! You have many fans and you have inspired many drummers.
If the band did a swing version Rock and Roll All Night this would be blowing up the internet.
Wow, Peter Criss in his element, truely a treasure.
My favorite drummer in my youth. I actually bought a set and learned to play because of Peter Chris.
Totally Killin it!!! Pete still plays fkg amazing. This might be the best I've seen him play actually. Brilliant. The man is the reason I play drums. He taught me how to play pretty much.
peter is still AWESOME DRUMMER LOVE THIS WAY TI GO PETER HOPE TO SEE U BACK IN KISS SOMEDAY
This guy was the first big influence on me becoming a drummer. I’ve always heard he came from a swing/big band background but never actually heard him do it. He seems right at home here.
Brother, Criss can SWING! Not the chops of the greats, but this is LEGIT! This is fabulous. And THE MOST UNDERRATED vocalist in Rock History.
Wow, Peter's laying is totally in top form. So great to hear and see it, thank you for uploading this vid.
Full Circle for Pete,..back to what inspired him most!….I always loved the Swing that he brought to KISS. Criss is the Cat!….🥁.X
This was really great.
