Peter Criss doesn't get the credit he deserves for his creativity with the drum lines he played, he was my first inspiration to play drums. You did an AMAZING job capturing his style!!! Hard to believe this song is almost 50 years old and still rocks!! Keep the KISS videos coming please!!
Thanks so much John! Yes, Peter was a big influence for me too! IMO he and Ace were the ones who really made the live KISS shows rock. They both should get the credit for bringing the live songs to a whole new level compared to the studio versions. 🙏💛🙏
Wow, Eric Singer would be proud of this superb drum performance, Mike. I absolutely love the cowbell and the stick trick at the beginning, my friend. Rock on for the weekend, my friend 🥁🎶🎵🤘🔥
Calling Dr. Conway… Man, is there any style you can’t nail 100% perfectly? Those tricky fills really made my head spin. And these constant 8th notes on the pedal hi-hat! 😱 Brilliant performance, I‘m sure even Bjarne will be approving of this! Rock on, my friend! 😃👍🥁🔥🔥🔥
First of all great shirt 💪🙂fantastic hihat work while you play the ride 🌟🌟🌟many super great fills 🥁💥💥💥love that the fills at the chorus in the end and the ending tom roll with the crossover move excellent done 🌟🌟🌟👌👌another success king Alex 🤘🙏🏻🥁🙂👍❤️
Thank you so much Bjarne! It sure feels great to get the Bjarne seal of approval on a KISS cover -- you are the master! I appreciate your great support and friendship my bro. I hope you have a great week ahead, and again, great job on Rip It Out!! 🤘🤘🙏🙏💛💛
Just phenomenal, Mike - as always! Man you are one he11 of a drummer and musician, Brother. This was a l ot of fun to watch, and it looked like you were really having a blast back there behind that incredible Kit. This was always one of my favorites, as far as the older KISS songs. And like I always say.... I love watching you attack those Toms. And you work on the high-hat on this one. Just another amazing performance. But then... what else is new?
Thanks so much Jimmy! As always, your comments make me feel awesome -- big, big thanks my man. I hope you have a rockin good weekend brother. I truly appreciate you taking the time. Be safe and rock on!🙏🙏💛💛🤘🤘
Oh man you smoked this one Mike! Crazy fills going into the choruses! I’ve been lucky enough to see Kiss a few times and you totally capture the energy!! Just awesome!! 🤘🤘
Well Let Me just Say..I Am So Proud Of You Alex..First Of All You Have Fun With The Songs You Love and That Makes The Cover Sound Great..Im always In Awe Of How Good You Really Are Behind The Kit...Knowing you as I Do I Am Honored To Call You Brother And Friend...Thanks For Your Soul Alex Truly 502
Another outstanding cover my friend! That cowbell was cool and your whole sound kit is just incredible! Sounds sooooo powerful! your mix is PERFECT! Original CD quality! That fill 1:53..... Blew me away! Cool foot work on the hi-hat. Your drumming is perfect as always🤘🤘🤘 Love it🤘🤘🤘
Thank you so much Tobi! I'm glad you like my old school covers -- it's what I rocked out to when I was your age!! I sure appreciate your great comments my dude. 🙏💛🙏🤘🤘
I'm trying to figure out what I liked best about this cover...🤔 Mike's spot-on drumming, Ace's killer Les Paul tone... or the cowbell?!😜 On fire as usual Mike!🔥
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 The way you've hammered the licks on this - stupid good. I also dig your mix more than what I remember that album being. As a kid, I loved it but I wasn't playing drums or even thinking about it. Returning to it later, I remember thinking "WHY didn't they pump up the drums???" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gimme more of 1:51 and those extended fills dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much Trey! I ran the album track through Moises to see what might result. To my surprise, it actually isolated the tracks well... it was only then that I decided to do a drum cover & tweak the sound more to my liking. I agree, the album -- even though it was produced by Eddie Kramer -- always sounded super thin with no low end & drums that were buried in the mix. I tried to beef it up! 😃😃 I massively appreciate your outstanding support and great feedback my bro. 💛💛🙏🙏🤘🤘
Gotta love some of that old school Dad rock!! Is it just me but I really like the song which Gene sings on? Such an awesome drumming performance right here Mike!! Sounds so good too!! 🤘🤘
Wow! I absolutely hate the fact that sometimes YT never notifies me when people upload new content it's really frustrating. Another great cover sir great work overall 🤗🥁😉🎶
Dynamite! This is amazing Mike, every detail covered. The video is engaging, the sound is immersive (this is a 1977 recording - how do you get it to sound so good?) and the playing is 💥🧨💥🧨💥. The fills! 👌 As Tobi says, particularly 01:53, and also 03:23, the cross hands tom work! Neat 👍. Your covers are always such high quality!
Wow, thank you so much for such great comments Dean! Man, that makes me feel awesome -- I massively respect you as a top drummer. I sure appreciate it my man!! 🙏💛🙏💛
Some great stuff right here Mike...from the year of my birth too! LOL. That intro cowbell, is that your Van Halen sampled one? Fun story...I am working on my April drum cover and I needed a great sounding cowbell for a section of this epic track. So I went through all my libraries, finding and tweaking all the samples I had from my various SDX/EZXs but nothing would work for my needs. Then I remembered you sent me some stuff for Van Halen. I loaded that sample in, did some pitch change, some other effects, and BAM! The sound I was looking for! Thanks for the assist - check it out in April! Always great to see you drumming, have a great one.
Thanks Bryan! Oh man, that's awesome that you used those VH one-shots! The one I used here is from Legacy of Rock SDX, which I thought sounded decent with some tweaking. I'm glad I grabbed those samples from VH, because they seem to sound different than the SD3 ones. I guess you can never have too many cowbells in the bank, lol! Looking forward to seeing it in April my man! 🤘🤘🙏🙏
Good work man! Solid drumming! I tried posting a KISS cover but it got blocked due to permissions/copyrights! How did you get passed "mean Gene"? lmao Rock on!
