Kiss was never a band based around the drums, so I'd say Peter is doing exactly what he is supposed to, and he does it well. He is the drummer of Kiss, and he always will be.
Awesome video! Peter Criss is the reason I'm a drummer today. I'm so sick and tired of seeing concert footage of nothing but guitar.....I could watch his 'drum cam' non-stop. He still has great form!
Fans can say what they want, but Peter and Ace can do no wrong in my eyes!.. They're my favorite members of Kiss and the band would have Never have found success without them!.
they did Ace's solo album was far higher than genes,paul and peter's combined and hes the more well known member to have a good solo career as for Peter he kinda feels to me like Eric Tagg in a way hes semi obscure but his well known song is You matter to me and thats it(i m talking solo songs and albums)@@Julcisko
LOVE THOSE Up close CAMS...Peter was a very hard worker..He has his own style which is just fine. Its good that there is so much variation with drummers ..and guitarists.
Peter Criss is in his 50's here, he is no longer a young man, he is playing his style rightfully, he is a founding member and created these songs. Nothing is good enough for Paul Stanley, his book is pathetic desperation to justify Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer wearing icons make up and impersonating, it is disgraceful, they should have packed it in after farewell tour!
the fact that Peter was in his 50's and no longer a young man tells you how pathetic his behavior was during the reunion tour. instead of being grateful, a professional and on his best behavior, Peter was up to his old tricks and tarnished the reunion tour with his behavior. Peter has only himself to blame. he left Kiss in 1980 for his own reasons.
Kiss will always be Peter, Paul, Gene and Ace. I begin to listning to Kiss In 1977 and I colect all their Lp. I se them live 4 times 2 of the times With the orginal Kiss With make up. Paul have exstreamly good voice and he Write song. You can say Paul is Kiss. On their solo album it was one Kiss album and it was Paul,s solo album and It was great. I love Kiss and will always do. One of the best band ever. You want the best? You got the best. The hottest band In the world?. KISS!!!!!!
Love Peter Criss. My two favorite bands are KISS and Rush; they could not be more different musically, but I love each for what they do. Life wouldn't be the same without them!
I was at this show with my newly wedded wife it was the best show we've ever seen!!! Thank you to all the original members for an epic night of music and showmanship I'd definitely pay to see it again!
Ace rules, if your a Peter fan DO NOT read Pauls book...loved this video and in a funny way I can't see the problems Paul details in his very popular book
leokimvideo I glanced through part of Paul's Book, and just happened to catch a part where he slams Eric Carr. Dont remember exactly the wording but it sure wasn't nice.
+john Magill Pauls book is very good, but my heart is with Ace's and Peter's books that reveal a side to Kiss that Paul and Gene can't explain. Paul slams Peter as having forgotten how to put on his cat face makeup. I gotta laugh because Pauls makeup is very simple compared to the rest of the band. Both Gene and Paul would be very tough bosses.
Some folks just need to lighten up! I could name SEVERAL Great drummers. However not all can be Bonzo or Buddy Rich. Yet Peter was a quarter of KISS. He helped form the group, did his job, and went about his way. It is merely chemistry. I'm a professional drummer myself. 35 years already! And STILL learning! However, this last run.. (Band) is in its 16th year! So...Do we argue? A little. Are we the best? By far. Yet we have the chemistry and passion. It's all for the love of music. Thanks to them all. United they made it happen! Sparks flew! KISS was a huge name as I was coming up.. Peace:)
WOW! Peter's drumming was sharp & smooth. By this time he was off of drugs, was eating right/healthy, and he'd been practice his rudiments on the drum pad. May god bless the Catman.
The Best Ever! Peter Criss!!! He is the best singer in the band or to ever be in the band!!! Fantastic Singer and the best singer, just ask Gene!!!!!!!
Peter is an awesome drummer. He plays his style, not Lars or Neil...They do their thing which is great, and Peter does his thing which is great. What's up with the competitiveness on here? If they were all the same, then it would suck.
True about the book, but the sensors were only for the drum solos. Also, on a night where his hands and arms didn't hurt, he'd hit the skins fine. No one was in their prime during the reunion, not even Paul.
Absolutely. When I saw them on the Farewell Tour, they were all fantastic. Peter was approximately 53 years old at the time and he rocked! The sensors referred to are called triggers manufactured by Ddrum, and he used them, yes, but, Eric also uses them as well as most stadium drummers.
Wow, I actually didn't know about Eric using the triggers, too. Nonetheless, Peter will go down as one of the best drummers in history, even though he didn't nearly have the best skills. Although he did probably have the best personality among drummers!
Not a huge Peter fan HOWEVER, he is a founding member and his style helped make KISS. Also, he is super in time here. The dude was in his 50's here I believe. If anything the guitars sounded out of time slightly.
I don't understand why certain people have such a hate boner for Peter. They make him sound like he's the drummer for The Shags and he's playing My Pal Foot Foot.
Ah, so he's chewing gum while playing. I saw the Midnight Special video of Kiss and couldn't figure out what he was moving his mouth for. I thought it was like when guitar players sometimes move their mouths with their playing, but Kris's mouth was sometime in rhythm and sometimes not. Looked weird to me. Now I get it - chewing gum.
Peter is using Triggers, he says so in his own book and on his web site... He hits very softly, no way could he be sounding this loud without using triggers.
What's with all the hating. He's 50+ playing hard rock for a couple of hours a night on a lengthy tour and saving his joints. His meter here is much better than the old stuff too...disciplined. Just because he isn't flailing around doesn't mean he's not good.
Peter is like Ringo Starr. Both play lightly. Peter NEVER played hard in his whole career. Neither did Ringo. It was all about "Swing" music for both of them.....they just happened to be in groups that decided that it was the right fit for what they were doing. Paul and Gene were all about the Beatles, so it stands to reason why they hired Peter based on his playing in the early days.
Anyone who says he's bad here is either a Paul fanboy or simply has no sense of time. Bashing drums does not equal good, no matter what anyone tells you. Dynamics in certain parts of a song yes, but good drumming is all about being consistent, not trying to break your instrument with every bar you play.
looks like peter hasn't miss'd a step at all. he still looks just as good as he did back in the early days of the band. keep on rocking peter you look great
Peter Criss is the most important element to make KISS sounds like KISS. technically he has never been a great drummer, but his style og playing fits 70's KISS perfect.
Peter and Ace worked really hard for the reunion tour in 1996. I saw them on that tour at the St. Paul Civic Center one of the last shows before they tore it down.They sounded fresh and tight. I myself was rejuvenated and It felt like I was in 7th grade all over again.
funny thing about drummers - when they are young, they hit the drums like a caveman trying to bring down a Wooly Mammoth. As they get older, they learn that they don't have to be cavemen to deliver the same force from the stick to the drum; a flick of the wrist is all it takes. It's called "technique". Some drummers, like Ian Paice and Mitch Mitchell, for example, always had such phenomenal stick control that they never had to jump 6 feet in the air first to deliver a brutal drum fill. Look at most of the drum legends; even John Bonham had stick technique that would be dismissed as "wussy" or "sissy" because he wasn't flailing about like a deranged ape. Good drummers focus their energy on the task at hand - hacks flail about with dubious "showmanship" value. The *only* exception to that rule that I can think of was and will always will be Keith Moon. He defied logic and made magic.
All the drummers you named are amazing. Don't forget about Ginger Baker and Neil Peart.Especially Neal. Every time he plays the drums he seems like a scientist that's focused on his experiment. No funny faces, no screaming while drumming... pure focus and beautiful drum fills.
I love Ginger Baker - grumpy bastard though he is; and Neil Peart is also a school of method all his own. Considering all the meter changes Rush does in the frame of a song, Neil doesn't have time to act like an ape, even if he wanted to. He's got to be on top of his game.
Patrick Milliken There's something called live show too though. Drummers who sit still like they're fucken bored is obviously boring to watch. It's a lot funnier to watch drummers going crazyy
67foxcharlie Peter said that in the early years the drugs did effect his ability. That is in his book. Eric Carr and Eric Singer have more ability. It's clear when you compare them.
67foxcharlie Peter's a talented guy, maybe not in the league of some, but still - I don't think he got the kind of support he needed to develop - which is a shame. For instance, when he's firing on all cylinders, his voice is in the same league as Paul's. And Paul ( when he's good ) is lucky enough to have one of the best voices in rock - to have two killer voices in a single rock band is like lightening striking twice in the same place, it could've been a much bigger feature of the band than it turned out to be.
@Michael Jackson so being the oldest of kiss and having cancer along with arthritis doesn't factor in you sir are uninformed and just a hater also he was never really a hard hitter of the drums but had better rythem and flow the singer the true cat man
im a drummer and a huge kiss fan. peter will never be confused for a powerhouse guy like Bonham or a technical guy like Peart, but hell man hes not a horrible drummer like i said im a huge kiss fan but i dont say hes a huge influence on my playing or anything, fuck it hes peter criss he was in kiss in their prime and was killing every night just like the other 3 members, hes done everything all of us as musicians would live to do, he very well may be just some schlub that got lucky but hey how people on here are known by name worldwide. fuck it man just kick back and enjoy it if you like it and if you dont thats fine to.
If you wanna see Peter Criss at his best, or at least around the time when he still had it, check out "peter criss drum solo 1976" instead. Catman playing Pearl drums and Paiste 2oo2 cymbals with loads of flanger effects and whatever it is. Sounds great. Looks great. Makes me happy! :-)
Muchos músicos critican a kiss,no se porqué,las bandas de rock de los 70’s querían ser como los Beatles,Stones,Zepelín y más,pero los integrantes de las nuevas bandas de rock después de kiss,querían ser como ellos pero independientemente,los guitarristas querían tocar como Ace ,los bateristas como Peter,los bajistas como Gene,y los guitarristas melódicos o show men como Paul,honestamente la banda más grande de el continente Americano y una gran influencia para bandas Europeas,🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@ NICOLEALANIZ2005... If your going to talk trash about someone, then you really need to know who your talking about. Peter Criss is not a alcoholic, his addictions and demons have always been drugs and he is a recovered addict who has inspired millions and millions of musicians to become more than just some JOE on the drumset. And as far as Neil Peart... The man is a accomplished drummer. If you put them in a room together they could out do each other. He's playing simple rock that KISS wrote.
In my opinion, one of the best drummers of that era. I don't he was trained to be a rock drummer, more of a jazz guy , I think. Regardless, he's doing his job.
There used to be a video up of the entire concert from Petes drum cam. Anyone have it? So tired of KISS copyright striking all their good performances and we're stuck watching concerts post 2010. No one wants to watch that shit
Dammit, Peter. You made history with Kiss and all but what Paul said in his book about his playing having deteriorated in the last years is totally true... Like, seriously, the cymbals are barely moving.
@Pingu Wetone were you at the show... cuz I know many people that were at this tour and said it kicked ass. Are you a rockstar living the dream like peter criss... apparently not
Did Peter (or the other Drummers...) play with stacks on as well? Peter was not so "Technical" as the Erics, but how the world would one get those double bass fills with those things on?
@MegaStacye not bashing again hes my favorite. im just not delusional to think his playing is near Singers. You can be real and still be a fan. Im probably his biggest
non v inganni l apparente immobilita'....non sbaglia 1 colpo,ritmica eccelsa,e solita potenza da cat-man.....personaggio stupendo e bravissimo. il mio preferito!!!!
just for the haters here.. you bashed Peter here,, just fine.. why don't you drum a 100 to 120 minutes show day in day out?? In my opinon.. it says enough
+André Krijnen Plus ...he is in his 50s ..maybe even 60s now...conserving energy is a concern -and as a semi pro myself getting older -it is a concern on sore/stiff limbs ....plus , he plays whats needed for the songs ...the little piss ant that said he has played for 15 yrs ...I have played for 32 yrs and am starting to struggle on the kit ....but love your point mate...very TRUE .cheers.
are you saying you are 37 yrs old ? ....all I can tell you is BIG difference from 37 to 50 ...and yes , he should be fitter etc ....but we are not immune from the ravages of time - arthritis , weight gain , etc ....so he is doing well enough to play the tracks groove - people want to see the original line up -and he is doing that but to expect him to be kicking as hard as he did when he has had issues with drugs and booze and then add time into the mix....well , its unrealistic ...he should have known better -but it is what it is
well ...I am the same age as you and my fitness has dropped hugely ...for whatever reason ...I am struggling and fitness training may not even help because it is now compounded health problems ....I am good for half the set - then must adjust my attack ...its ok though ...I just call it "dynamics" lol
My point was that it is too easy to go on your laptop or computer and said things like Peter Criss sucks etc etc.. Yes in some ways he fu..ed it up and also Ace did. but come on... it is nearly 20 years ago.. Move on..
Kiss was never a band based around the drums, so I'd say Peter is doing exactly what he is supposed to, and he does it well. He is the drummer of Kiss, and he always will be.
+JornO agree!!!!
Sure but at least stay in time
i didn't hear anything horrible during deuce, he kept time and did the cymbals and cowbell etc that he does in the right places
JORN NORD KISS was a band based very much around the drums in the 70’s
I noticed that the tempo went up a bit too.
Awesome video! Peter Criss is the reason I'm a drummer today. I'm so sick and tired of seeing concert footage of nothing but guitar.....I could watch his 'drum cam' non-stop. He still has great form!
Fans can say what they want, but Peter and Ace can do no wrong in my eyes!.. They're my favorite members of Kiss and the band would have Never have found success without them!.
if it so, why they didn´t succeed outside of the band while Gene And Paul were still rollin´?
Them and Eric Carr are true legends
they did Ace's solo album was far higher than genes,paul and peter's combined and hes the more well known member to have a good solo career as for Peter he kinda feels to me like Eric Tagg in a way hes semi obscure but his well known song is You matter to me and thats it(i m talking solo songs and albums)@@Julcisko
@@JulciskoAce had success with his band Frehley's Comet.
That's because you are one of those dense Kiss fans that can't hear. Ace and Peter were worthless drug addicts and had no business in that band.
Need the entire show on Peter cam please.
LOVE THOSE Up close CAMS...Peter was a very hard worker..He has his own style which is just fine. Its good that there is so much variation with drummers ..and guitarists.
Me encanta Peter Criss mí miembro favorito de kiss.😊😊

@@javtimestwothey’re both divas in their own ways but I’d say as of now Criss might be slightly “better” about it

leokimvideo I was thinking the same thing..
Leokimvideo--- I know what you're saying. Paul details how Peter can barely hit a drum. Look at the guy. Peter can't even make a cymbal move
I actually have this (Peter Cam) on VHS for nearly the entire show and would like to convert it to dvd.

That's NOT by far!

Badassed and Focused
The Best Ever! Peter Criss!!! He is the best singer in the band or to ever be in the band!!! Fantastic Singer and the best singer, just ask Gene!!!!!!!
I have always said from day one that Peter Criss is an amazing drummer. My favourite of the band!
I was there stood the whole time, best concert of my life!
it's okay, he's from the streets.
Check out all the hate from people who've never held sticks or sat behind a kit for even 1 second. Clowns.
Peter is an awesome drummer. He plays his style, not Lars or Neil...They do their thing which is great, and Peter does his thing which is great. What's up with the competitiveness on here? If they were all the same, then it would suck.
Im a big fan of Peter.
Paul Stanley should shut his mouth. He can't sing anymore & they got him vocal surgery more then once to try to remedy his shitty singing
True about the book, but the sensors were only for the drum solos. Also, on a night where his hands and arms didn't hurt, he'd hit the skins fine. No one was in their prime during the reunion, not even Paul.

not flashy - just does what he needs to do to keep terrific pace and rhythm
🤔 il ne tape pas fort , c'est un batteur de jazz ce qu il faisait avant. Quand on voit Tommy Lee etc...
Saw this tour..Rocked!! Always Lots of Love For The Catman!!
The drum cam was fun to watch. Paul sure butchers King of the Night time World when they do it live.
love it when Peter smiles at the guy recording it all...:)
There’s no one there it’s a mounted camera on a stick.
Oh my! I tot I saw a Peter cat! I did! I did saw a Peter cat! The one and only TRUE Catman of Kiss! I love the Cheshire cat grin to the camera!
Guy is pretty solid and he had that big band style that helped them form there sound....his typing is excellent
I love watching these cams...Peter has so much expression ...:)
100%%%% Badasss Catman!!!
Love ya brutha!
Thank for the killer drum beats!!!
The 1 and only CatMan!!!
I don't understand why certain people have such a hate boner for Peter. They make him sound like he's the drummer for The Shags and he's playing My Pal Foot Foot.
Because he sucks, and can't even handle a shit band like Kiss.
Paul Stanley was full of so much shit about Peter not being able to play. I was at this show in 1996 and it was balls out awesome.
Ah, so he's chewing gum while playing. I saw the Midnight Special video of Kiss and couldn't figure out what he was moving his mouth for. I thought it was like when guitar players sometimes move their mouths with their playing, but Kris's mouth was sometime in rhythm and sometimes not. Looked weird to me. Now I get it - chewing gum.
I think that Peter's non aggressive powder puff drumming is alright. Sounds pretty good to me.
remove the triggers from drums and u will hear nothing with his drumming style....
Canticleer those are contact mics not triggers
YellowStryper 😂😂
Peter is using Triggers, he says so in his own book and on his web site... He hits very softly, no way could he be sounding this loud without using triggers.
Ron Just Ron yeah he had severe arm issues at this point but he knew how to play, just couldn’t play hard.
Saw them back in 96 in Orlando, thought they were great and I was glad to see the REAL kiss back together again.
Tough Choice! Peter Criss and Eric Singer! Both have so much Talent!🎉🎉🎉🎉
We love you Peter from your boys in Canarsie Brooklyn!!
BOOM!! peter criss on the M.F. drums !! the real thing. ( Legend. )
What's with all the hating. He's 50+ playing hard rock for a couple of hours a night on a lengthy tour and saving his joints. His meter here is much better than the old stuff too...disciplined. Just because he isn't flailing around doesn't mean he's not good.
This is the camera stationed on Peter kit for the video monitor feeds
Peter looks younger than he did in 79 . I got respect for Criss.
I agree
+Dale Tranter Yeah! you are right. ^^'
He looks better because he wasn’t on drugs during this I’d say
Wow this is Freaking killer
Peter playing great and he looks awesome
Peter is like Ringo Starr. Both play lightly. Peter NEVER played hard in his whole career. Neither did Ringo.

Watch live videos from mid 70's, Peter played like an animal
Back in the day when Paul could still sing and Franken Ace was working backstage!😄
Really good drumming!
Love to see more of this, thanks for the upload.
Anyone who says he's bad here is either a Paul fanboy or simply has no sense of time.
Bashing drums does not equal good, no matter what anyone tells you. Dynamics in certain parts of a song yes, but good drumming is all about being consistent, not trying to break your instrument with every bar you play.

Whoever is in charge of tuning Ace's guitar probably was given a very "stern lecture" from Gene/Ace after this show. =P
No other Drummer like him, cause he brought Jazz Drumming to Rock.Unlike hard hitting that every Drummer wants to do!!
funny thing about drummers - when they are young, they hit the drums like a caveman trying to bring down a Wooly Mammoth.

People who put all the pressure on their wrists will completely wreck their wrists and hands. You have to distribute the force.
Patrick Milliken There's something called live show too though.
Drummers who sit still like they're fucken bored is obviously boring to watch.
It's a lot funnier to watch drummers going crazyy
Spot on !
I was there and it was great.
I was there Atlanta GA. 1996
Thanks to the OP because this is VERY cool!
Looks like he's in time to me and can play great. All that crap about Peter not being able to play was a lie.

He looks great! and lets not forget its live music people!!

little smirk from Peter there....he must be 50 here....?
@ NICOLEALANIZ2005... If your going to talk trash about someone, then you really need to know who your talking about. Peter Criss is not a alcoholic, his addictions and demons have always been drugs and he is a recovered addict who has inspired millions and millions of musicians to become more than just some JOE on the drumset. And as far as Neil Peart... The man is a accomplished drummer. If you put them in a room together they could out do each other. He's playing simple rock that KISS wrote.
In my opinion, one of the best drummers of that era. I don't he was trained to be a rock drummer, more of a jazz guy , I think. Regardless, he's doing his job.
Drums sound fantastic
There are several more songs from this show (I have them on vhs) but dodn't know how to convert/post them here.
Peter Crissis kiss heart an soul the man CAT MAN NO FAKE ONES!!!
He has such a light touch....
There used to be a video up of the entire concert from Petes drum cam. Anyone have it? So tired of KISS copyright striking all their good performances and we're stuck watching concerts post 2010. No one wants to watch that shit
Peter doing what he does best and that's being the best
I love Peter criss.
KISS BAND ORIGINAL ALWAYS, PETER CRISS, ACE FREHLEY, GENE SIMMONS Y PAUL STANLEY THEY ARE THE FORMATION OF KISS.😊
peter rocks those drums
Thanks for posting! Wouldn't happen to have the whole show would ya?
Dammit, Peter. You made history with Kiss and all but what Paul said in his book about his playing having deteriorated in the last years is totally true... Like, seriously, the cymbals are barely moving.
Zafra Zafra yeah and now Paul’s voice is deteriorated, Paul has to lip sync, Peter had to use drum triggers, no difference IMO
Zafra Zafra screw you!!!
Very cool vid. Thanks for posting! :-)
That drum kit will last 100 years the way he's playing.
Truth
Any kit can last 100 years if you take care of your equipment. A top quality kit, of course.
@Pingu Wetone were you at the show... cuz I know many people that were at this tour and said it kicked ass. Are you a rockstar living the dream like peter criss... apparently not
@@dallanfendelet7789 Thank you for defending Peter.
Pingu Wetone because he’s mic’d up you big dumbbell!! You don’t need to hit hard
Did Peter (or the other Drummers...) play with stacks on as well? Peter was not so "Technical" as the Erics, but how the world would one get those double bass fills with those things on?
@MegaStacye not bashing again hes my favorite. im just not delusional to think his playing is near Singers. You can be real and still be a fan. Im probably his biggest
non v inganni l apparente immobilita'....non sbaglia 1 colpo,ritmica eccelsa,e solita potenza da cat-man.....personaggio stupendo e bravissimo. il mio preferito!!!!
Dig'n it man Dig'n it.
4:54 ..the best Face ever ^^ !
This is awesome. Long live The Catman 🐱
PETER CRISS!!!!!
just for the haters here.. you bashed Peter here,, just fine.. why don't you drum a 100 to 120 minutes show day in day out?? In my opinon.. it says enough
+André Krijnen Plus ...he is in his 50s ..maybe even 60s now...conserving energy is a concern -and as a semi pro myself getting older -it is a concern on sore/stiff limbs ....plus , he plays whats needed for the songs ...the little piss ant that said he has played for 15 yrs ...I have played for 32 yrs and am starting to struggle on the kit ....but love your point mate...very TRUE .cheers.
are you saying you are 37 yrs old ? ....all I can tell you is BIG difference from 37 to 50 ...and yes , he should be fitter etc ....but we are not immune from the ravages of time - arthritis , weight gain , etc ....so he is doing well enough to play the tracks groove - people want to see the original line up -and he is doing that but to expect him to be kicking as hard as he did when he has had issues with drugs and booze and then add time into the mix....well , its unrealistic ...he should have known better -but it is what it is
so true
well ...I am the same age as you and my fitness has dropped hugely ...for whatever reason ...I am struggling and fitness training may not even help because it is now compounded health problems ....I am good for half the set - then must adjust my attack ...its ok though ...I just call it "dynamics" lol
My point was that it is too easy to go on your laptop or computer and said things like Peter Criss sucks etc etc.. Yes in some ways he fu..ed it up and also Ace did. but come on... it is nearly 20 years ago.. Move on..
Peter's a"legend and he plays great
