Pearl Presents An Introduction to Drumming Featuring Eric Singer

Eric Mensinger Salesperson at Pearl Corp.

[@leokimvideo]

If only a Eric Singer 'how to assemble' came with everything that needs assembly. He needs a job with IKEA

[@fostercat751]

What the f does that mean? Hello.

[@jas_bataille]

@@fostercat751 It means that Eric Singer does a great job at explaining how to assemble thing. Why are you being aggressive? Hello?

[@rheish]

Eric Singer is always out there to help any beginning drummer. He is an awesome person, well educated on the drums.

[@johnnyjohns3863]

Eric did an awesome job on this video. He didn't try to make the beginning drummer feel stupid and explained everything well. It's crazy he made an entry-level Pearl kit sound great. Just goes to show it's the player more than it is the high-end gear. Also I don't remember my Pearl cymbals ever sounding that good. But I do remember they would bend not break. Lol I still had the high hats and the Crash ride forever till I finally gave them away to a kid learning to play drums

[@JS-te8pg]

Eric is an stunning drummer. Damn good!

[@9983sp]

Eric breaks it down to the novice level, without talking down or any air of betterment. He just wants you to be able to set up your kit and play.

[@getwrecked99]

I watched this over 100 times on vhs when I first got my drums this video came with them

[@ericcooley38]

Me too memories

[@ericcooley38]

This is how i learned double bass on this instructional video 17 yeats ago

[@rocknrollcowboy1620]

Pat Torpey was on the video for Tama drums when you bought the kit

[@slaughtherheadmetaldrummer7634]

me tooo haha omg i was 7 and from austria. i didn’t understand one word. now i am a professional drum teacher 🥁

[@alanbrown5334]

I have this on DVD. All these years later it's great to watch. Eric is a beast.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Dave Casserly ABSOLUTELY!

@@ciadella1971 Got the VHS with my Pearl Export in 2003

[@PurpleEmpire123]

I love his approach to drums. I'm a new fan of Eric Singer.

[@hpieri]

I bought a Pearl set in Brazil, called "forum series",it was my first from. It camesv with a "VHS" instructions with this video! So cool!

[@thejohnleos]

I remember watching this dvd when i received my first drumset for Christmas when I was 13. Best Christmas ever, I remember crying tears of joy. Good times.

[@tcconnection]

Dr. Drummer! His knowledge and talent, he's amazing.

[@TomMSTie1138]

My first drum set was a Pearl Forum kit in 1998. The sounds of the turning tension rods and the various clanks and clunks of the hardware are giving me wicked nostalgia.😣

[@anillegalimmigrant88]

eric singer seems like a nice person.

[@Kstern4]

I just watched this because I'm a KISS fan... I've had my kit setup for months. The tuning section was more detailed than the current pearl videos.

[@raran44]

I got my kit when I was 12, I'm 28 now and I feel like I just re learned everything I know about drums and then some. Eric rocks!

[@jorgepaul5049]

He seems to be a good guy..amicable and have the mood to explain step by step how to assemble the kit.

[@TheAtheistworld]

That’s how it’s properly done. Bravo master

[@hadleygriffin44]

He is so organised and thorough. I'm not a drummer but I came here for him and I love the way he explains things.

[@vidviewer92]

I remember watching this while putting my first drum set together and being so excited. Very helpful and inspiring at the time! Thank you for uploading!

[@Flintster56]

First time i've seen this. I have been an Eric Singer fan since his Badlands days. I have been playing Pearl drums since 1991. Studio sessions #110 Sequioa Red! Love these drums!!!!!

[@TheQ2004]

This is a piece of cake for me but it’s still cool to see that Eric likes to help the beginning drummers on how to set up and tune a drum set properly

[@heralioprasmo3929]

Very well explained the details of installing your kit, good job! :)

[@darinaandreatovarromero1460]

Eric Singer Is My Favorite in the drummer

[@hybris159]

Awesome drummer !! All the best

[@erikjohansson5311]

En av anledningarna jag valde Pearl, Tack! Eric, DW är för dyrt

[@waqqodonkey]

all I can think of is, wow! drum kits and drummers have come a long way since this

[@soyrockstargt3524]

este baterista fue el primero que vi con doble pedal hace mas de 15 años y me hipnotizo y me influyo hoy ya uso doble pedal yo gracias por ese aporte !!!!

[@queenbarbtherockstar6218]

beautiful drums 😍

[@nrtoca99]

Eric is such an awesome guy and drummer, met him when i was 19, and he's really chill

[@JT-gq8wv]

Excellent ! I watched, paused, and assembled. On my kit, Prior to assembly, I coated all chromed metal parts (the hoops, hooks, tension rods, tension casings, tom legs, rack tom mount) with silicon lube , or chrome metal polish. If you don't, plan on using a lot of steel wool years later. I found out the hard way.

[@yumarivazquez9689]

Paul said it best when he said "Eric played like a monster". Please youtube Eric in action for Stanley's 1989 solo tour and look how he destroys the drums on "Tonight you belong to me". I love his cymbal work during that song and the way he's playing that ride is killer, that ping sounds crazy. A beast he is and a huge inspiration to all. Love you bro and great Pearl video too.... rock on 🤘

[@marcdedouvan]

A perfect introduction to modern drumset without "false note" or overtalk. Bravo!

[@robertredford4332]

i love this video and Eric

[@manoweird]

I had this on VHS many years ago

[@billycain9890]

One of the great hard rock drummers in the business there's a reason why Lita Ford wanted him Gary Moore Black Sabbath Alice Cooper battlelands they are one Eric singer as their drummer kiss got him made him a part of the family they knew they was getting a top-notch drummer his drumming on Revenge Kiss Alive 3 and Carnival of Souls is just bad ass and he's been with the band over 20 years now

[@pearldrummer4077]

Fantastic drumming.

[@intertubicular]

Wow, 23 years ago. Where does the time go?

[@chrisRIOT_official]

I still have this on VHS!!

[@jas_bataille]

Man... I'm young (26) and still feel like everything was so much more simple back a 2 or 3 decades ago. Do they ship drumsets with a video like this? Not anymore. Sure, you can find everything on the internet, but it will take a beginner customer is significantly harder. Thanks for uploading this! I love how Eric got lost "playing time in the end" and started an epic solo instead... but what an instructor!

[@richardbinder9662]

Sold ! Wait, you didn't ask the price. Sold ! , I don't care, Eric Singer said buy them .

[@drummr64]

I am almost 100% sure this video was shot at Sheffield in Phoenix Md.

[@luislara4299]

Eric Rules !!

[@MaxxDoberman]

This video (on vhs cassette) came with my drum kit.

[@heftyalan1152]

Eric Singer is a solid drummer and I have seen him with Kiss and Alice but I would like to have seen more on the rudiments because as well as timing it is the grasp of rudiments which sets apart good drummers from great drummers. Ask Anton Fig who incorporates some lovely fills on Ace's solo album as well as Frehley's Comet.

[@AllenSJ5]

Eric has a great grasp on the rudiments and like you said is a super solid player in general, but I honestly think his playing gets a bit repetitive sometimes (especially in recent years w/KISS...).

[@ninja123425]

This video is a total blast from the past!

[@TheMetalChannelNZ]

Thanks again Eric

[@gibbo547]

This guy is awesome. So much better than Peter Criss could ever be! Eric, you are truly a legend!

Very well done...

[@jdogg5771]

Do I even need to go into specifics as to how much this video meant to me as a child who had just gotten a Forum Series? Wow.

[@rustyshackleford4025]

My mother and older sister surprised me christmas morning of 2003 with a pearl fourm kit. I was years trying to convince my mother i wanted to play, but as a single mother it was just too expensive. Luckily my sister believed in me and convinced my mother to share the cost between them. I was absolutely blown away, speeches, and greatful! I watched THIS very VHS countless times. Always fast forwarding to the double bass sections lol Im happy to say im still drumming today with countless demos, two studio albums, Many many gigs, so many hours jamming, and a couple years ago my band was opening up for "Finger eleven", and "I mother earth". I gave my guest pass to my sister. I Couldn't of done it without her :)

[@StephenSpivack]

About one decade later and I still remember the paradiddle groove from this tape

[@StephenSpivack]

dude i still remember it

[@vandavis911]

i had the vhs copy in 98 with a pearl kit

[@From_A_Diverging_Timeline]

Why is the hole on the bass drum cut in the center? I'm a novice drummer but I've always seen it cut around 7 oclock
