the masked drummer Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 My respect goes out to all three, so I had to make it specific to show performance only. Please feel free to talk about your all-around fav, or studio fav, etc... I liked Peter for his signature Kiss sound he brought. I liked Singer cuz he is such a pro player (an awesome hired gun). But imho Eric Carr played the most amazing Kiss drum solo ever live in '85, plus he was just an entertaining guy to watch jam out. I really miss him. I would rate Eric Singer a close 2nd for this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I saw Eric a few times in the 80s and he was excellent he even sang a song on the Animalize tour as well (even though it was a little rough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambozzio Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 i only ever saw KISS live with Eric Carr (1980) and he was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHands Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I saw Kiss three times in the 70's...original line-up...make up on. Peter Criss was adequate...but nothing special. Having never seen Carr or Singer in person, I can only comment on what I've seen on video. IMO, Carr was only marginally better that Peter Criss, and that is ONLY because he had a rock background, as opposed to swing/big-band, as was Peter's. Eric Singer, on the other hand, smokes them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised by his technical ability, especially on his solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrush2112 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have to say that Peter Criscuola will be and will always remain one of the reasons I play drums. I was a fan of his before I was a fan of Neil. Though I have more resect and love for the Professor, the original catman was a drum god in my book.
