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?
@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
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.
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!
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 !!
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.
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!
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.
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.
He was never the most accomplished or technical, nor did he ever need to be. He made me want to start playing drums when I was 7 in 1977. And while Paul Stanley -especially - can vent and bully Peter with cheap-shot one-liners from his KISS pulpit, the reality is that Peter seems to be the only one who got out with his dignity intact, secure with you he is and found greater callings than simply gratifying himself endlessly at the expense of others. It's wonderful to see him a little South of 80 looking well, have his hair and simply drumming for the joy of it. Not because he has to or feels he has to live up to himself 50 years ago, but because he feels like it.
Paul Stanley once said Peter's 1978 solo album was a complete question mark. PC just stayed true to his roots all these years. Meanwhile, now PS is out there doing Motown records.. and not too bad I admit.. but he's such a hypocrite to attack Peter for keeping in touch with his musical influences.
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.
One of my favorite albums, KISS Alive 2, Peter was great. I read on a couple of his Modern Drummer intervews how he was a Krupa fan, so cool to see him and yes, he swings, and that's why KISS sounded the way they did with him.
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 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.

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!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😮

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.
It looks like Peter is really enjoying himself here, and that’s what playing music is really about.
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.
I love to see this for him. Just feels like this is where his heart is at... and this sounds fantastic!
Glad he is alive and well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The one and only original Catman. Peter Criss ❤❤❤
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!
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
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!
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.
Peter swinging, superb.
☮ Andy H
fantastic peter criss
Yeah! The old Cat's still got it! What a pleasant surprise coming across this vid. A Krupa Cat Kiss!
Swing on, Catman. My forever drum idol.
So great to see him back and having fun!
Very cool!! That's "Sing, Sing, Sing". Benny Goodman with Gene Krupa did a great version. Great to see Peter playing
I'm 66 years old and grew up on rockn'roll and heavy metal, but I still like the big band sound.
Yes very joyful , great Peter love it
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
I makes me smile to see Peter doing something he enjoys.
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!😍
Peter!!! ❤
Long live The Catman!!!🎉
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.
Back to the roots

Was always known and appreciated by many drummers for the swing in his rock drumming. Legend!
He is so in his element! Wonderful

Go cat go ! I love ❤️ peter criss.Glad to see him having fun.
fantastic Peter
This is fun. Nice to see him out there
Peter Criss must start the: PETER CRISS JAZZ ORCHESTRA!!!
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.
So awesome. He is having a blast. I love the guy. Always liked his drumming and his voice is cool too.
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.
There is only one Catman
So great to see him playing from his heart and enjoying himself :)
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
AWWWW...my teenage hero 🤩 so glad to see him
So great to see Peter still playing. Makes me happy 🙂
I was totally impressed by this!
it's great to see him having fun behind the drums again.
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.
Oh this is lovely- and he looks like he’s having a wonderful time too 👏
Sweet sweet swing! 🤘
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.

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.
Echt leuk om te zien, dank jullie wel, 🤘🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🤘
Catman looking and playing great! So glad to see he's still going strong.
Great to see Pete doing so well....🥁🥁
Glad Peter is still doing his thing and the style he learned 1st
THE CAT MAN Nailed it you go BRO !!!
This seems like a much better fit for him and he looks great in the shirt and tie!
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. 😁
I'm diggin' this, man, this cat has some chops! Hah, warms my heart seeing Peter drumming🤘🏼

Awesome. Peter back to his jazz roots 👍
I would buy tickets to see him playing Big Band music. Get on the road Pete!
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.
If the band did a swing version Rock and Roll All Night this would be blowing up the internet.
Exceptional. What an absolute legend.
So awesome to see the ‘Cat grooving out in his element! Thank you for sharing this video! “Peter Criss!!!!”⚡️⚡️
Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman Orchestra.. the drummer was legendary Gene Krupa
Always the Catman and an amazing talented musician!
Fukk I'm impressed!💚
Pete is always in the pocket. I love his drumming

Peter Criss is a great drummer.
So great !!!
This is awesome, Eric singer could never touch this legend or his style, We love you Peter, the real Catman!
Peter's looking dapper in a tie. This is class.
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.
It’s called feathering the kick sir….Krupa not Ginger Baker. But showing your jazz roots gives you integrity. Kudos. .
my number 1 influence. thank you
peter is still AWESOME DRUMMER LOVE THIS WAY TI GO PETER HOPE TO SEE U BACK IN KISS SOMEDAY
Awesome! The real deal! Swinging! 😎 🐈⬛ 🥁
Loved it! Great to see Peter having fun.
That's one cool 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️
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!❤️

Exactly, Soul Station is an extension of Peter's solo album.
