Chris Frazier - Foreigner - Tour Kit Rundown

[@Joseph-xp3hh]

I used to work for a catering company that did touring bands we did Foreigner one year . I had the pleasure of sitting with Chris for a bit he is one humble, inspiring and talented drummer and a gem of a gentleman God bless you brother 🙏

[@myoneandonlylink]

I love his drumming on Steve Vai’s Passion and Warfare. Also Chris’s right foot is absolutely insane

[@justhadrums]

Awesome underrated drummer - awesome kit and that snare is a jewel. At the end it seems he does a left hand lead version of the hand foot single stroke roll lick. Killer.

[@pal4597]

He's a killer!

[@MarkMonolithOfficial]

This was so well done! Chris' kit sounds amazing!!!!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I saw Styx and Foreigner last week at Dos Equis Pavilion!!! Both bands were phenomenal!!!!!!

[@peevee605]

Todd Sucherman in Styx is a different kind of a beast. A GOAT too.

[@russmartin1814]

@@peevee605 I think he's one of the vey best drummers on the planet. Love his playing.

[@russmartin1814]

Chris is a beast of a drummer, and a really nice guy. I got to meet him on the golf course when they swung through Connecticut last year, and his was very kind and spent a couple of minutes with us. I got a real kick out it- meeting a drummer I hold in high regard. You da man, Chris!

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Holy Macaroni! What a great drummer, a great kit, a great sound, and a great gig! Those Foreigner hits are so good it doesn’t matter that no one from the original band is around anymore. They are just undeniably fantastic tunes. I’m gonna go learn more about Chris Frazier (I think I have a Whitesnake CD he played on) and I’m gonna look for Foreigner tickets! Hopefully they aren’t Taylor Swift prices. Thanks, Modern Drummer!

[@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb]

Thank you for leaving this uncensored!! Keep it up modern drummer!

[@No_Name_Official__æ]

I love these videos and hope one day to be on one of these

[@eddieidrizovic9176]

I loved this episode! Most of the pro drummers don’t ever drum when they do these, and I think it really makes the entire episode… very good 🎉

[@ZachBratland]

Great demonstration and epic drumming, great changes, jus all round 💯💯❤️

[@ianvjones]

Great playing and sound!

[@jaironalexanderaranaestrad7347]

Nice Band, Foreigner! 🫡

[@CheriKlusman]

Was at the show in Bend OR. Amazing to see this performance live!

[@hippydippy]

That kick drum sounds wicked!

[@SuperQdaddy]

This guy can Rock..with. personality and musicality

[@shannonhutchinson7993]

Chris is the man.

[@MBdrummer3288]

Had NO IDEA David Spade played drums for Foreigner! What a surprise. Hell, I didn’t even know Spade played drums. And I like his licks!

[@groovecat]

Passion and Warfare is one of my favourite drum recordings. Always listen to it when I need some inspiration!

[@jonnywech]

Just saw them last week, sounded amazing, kit sounded so good and he killed it on the solo

[@cwatson4271]

That wrap finish is beautiful.

[@DougErapps]

Chris “not a dry pantie in the house” Frazier is THE BEST!!!!!!! Love you Chris!

[@ifgwelf]

Jukebox Hero is one of the greatest rock songs ever written

[@gadymarcus2362]

Bello/Magnifico.😱✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

[@steevidrums]

Your drumming on Steve Vai's Passion And Warfare was so inspiring as a teenager. It is the same Chris Frazier yeah?.

[@sticksbass]

always liked cf drumming.

[@JarJarJesses]

Incredible live sound - I'd like to hear more about the drum tuning/used mics.

[@peevee605]

If you’re good enough to play with both Whitesnake and Foreigner and keep the groove completely steady while doing stick tricks….Frazier is a beast.

[@citydrums7525]

Playing with authority and pulling out some big rock sounds...

[@jtommyprice]

Hell of a show tonight. I’d love to hear you play Seventeen or Blue Morning with Foreigner.

[@alexhiltondrums]

Chris is such a monster drummer! Modern Drummer would Love to see Jason Bonhams Best of Both Worlds tour kit.

[@Robert-h6r7g]

I took Skype lessons from former drummer Brian tichy and I see a Tama rhythm watch is still used...hahaha..I call it " THE BABYSITTER "due to emotions on stage..it's our DEFENSE mechanism 🙏😬🤪🤙⭐️💥I've been following Chris since his stint with Steve vai...great player

[@321CatDaddy]

Chris has a definitive style - how many feet does he have anyway? 😄 He seems like a good addition to this version of Foreigner, and Modern Drummer You Tube is getting better and better. Thank you guys for a great interview, and thanks Chris for a peek at the solo! 🤘🏻

[@neano62]

Every drummer that plays RNR should play a 26” bass drum. This one KILLS💪😎

[@Jay-Go]

Chris F is a stellar drummer. For those that have never heard it, check out Steve Vai's "Passion & Warfare" record. Yes, lots of guitar, but the drumming is incredible. I almost think Val was just as interested in catching amazing drumming chops and grooves when Chris Frazier was on the drums.

[@do8671]

8:44!

[@mattdelany6799]

I just can’t get over Thomas Lang. I would be embarrassed trying to impress anyone with what I do. Same with Tory Slusher on guitar. I mean, I am good, but it’s humbling to watch Thomas Kang, and Tory Slusher.

[@simonbroke-smith7783]

🤘😎🥁🔥👍

[@joshuajuaire8757]

What drumsticks was he using

[@johnlagoss5932]

Dude is a beast. I'm usually a fan of big kit setups but 5 piece is all you need when you can play like that, gotdamb

[@cmgngmc]

GINGER MOVE OVER CHRIS IS HERE

[@jnishar]

what size on the cymbals??? The hihat?

[@peterdent2019]

DW say that they only make 26" or 28" kicks in standard format - not VLT or anything else. If they CAN do a 26" in VLT, then they should offer it!!!!!

[@mattdelany6799]

I use 2 26 inch vistalite clear bass drums. 2 kicks just look wayyy cooler than 1.

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Shure Beta 57s for snare drums, Audix D4 on all toms, and Shure Beta 52a for kick out. No clue what the ambient mic is and also no clue for hi hat and other mics are

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Agree on the D4s on toms and Beta52 on bass drum. 👍 Not Beta, but SM57s on snares, top and bottom. I also see a Beta91 in the kick. Likely Earthworks OH. Also looks like SM81s on cowbell and under the ride. No idea for hats, gong, or the "ambient" mic.

[@kovalfetterer2218]

@@MiddleMalcolm I meant SM57, shit

[@MiddleMalcolm]

@@kovalfetterer2218 All good. Just trying to fill in some blanks. 👍

[@kovalfetterer2218]

[@honourisdrumming]

Cymbals?

[@SONORSQ2guy]

There aren’t any original members left in foreigner

[@AeroDude73]

No offense to him but this goes for any/all bands using names of bands who were once big: No original members: cover band. Great kit, great guy.

[@malinwj1167]

It's like a pro sports team - players come and go, but the franchise keeps on going

[@MultiSkyman1]

I heard the only original member left in foreigner is an old roadie.

[@Ronniejamesleo]

He sort of looks like David Spade

[@flashingarrows]

Hats?? Crashes? Ride?

[@ronjon5386]

The reason I can’t use in ears. I can’t feel the vibe on stage. If I get a Porters and Davies thrown it might help but I need to feel that kick.

[@DannyGadish]

Not Foreigner tho. #denniselliot

[@nathanielhornblowerjr6431]

Didn’t really cover his cymbals.

[@GPz84]

Drummer for a Foreigner cover band.....

[@ldcsam1]

No, the actual band, Foreigner.

[@SONORSQ2guy]

@@ldcsam1 there are no original members left therefore it’s a tribute band.
