I own a 4 piece kit, and I love songs that are simple enough with enough complication that I can play and have fun with like Detroit rock city, thanks for this lesson it was great

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Awesome... Very appreciated...

[@RickyFicarelli]

David! As a huge Kiss fan I really appreciated how you concisely picked apart this legendary tune. Young & experienced drummers could benefit from seeing everything broken down to the bones. Killer content brother 🤘

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Great lesson! One of my favorite Peter Criss drum parts,this will greatly improve my air drumming .

[@steves2176]

Your lessons are great and this one doesn't disappoint! Good job! However....... At the end of your lesson I'd like to see you put it all together and play the song like a cover! That would be the icing on the cake! Just sayin!!

[@abrahamklassen308]

Great video, I'll be using it to learn this song, for sure.

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Motley Crue "Take me too the top" sounds similar too me.... That would be a great lesson... \m/!!!

[@jamesconnersr6428]

Thanks buddy I was just playing this last night and it that double click on the snare I was doing with my foot and it sound like a triple lick on the foot it sounds right the way you're doing it too and I'm sure you're doing it the right way but I like my way to I think it adds to it so does my bass player

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Hey James, If you like the way you play it and so does your bass player then props to you man! Go for it... Sounds really cool the way you explain it so Im sure it sounds great! Keep it up!!

Hi Silas... Great to hear from you again... Thanks very much!!

[@memehard4677]

Silly question. What is the U after each note? 1 e & u? I am new. thanks for posting this video!

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Hello... Great question... Its a way to count the notes 1 eee and ah 2 e and ah 3 e and ah 4 e and ah... I write it like 1 e & u to simplify it... Thanks

Peter over any other KISS drummer by a country mile! Carr did rock though!

[@loganheidel5008]

Completely agree with you!

[@loganheidel5008]

Sounds just like Peter Criss

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Thanks Logan...

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

It sounds like you are using Eric Singer's version and not Peter's version of this song. . .

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Which version is your favourite?

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

@@rockyvsrambo82 i like all three. Peter's bass drum was a solid single kick . Eric Carr used a double bass dual double kick. Eric Singer did the same style of bass kick but not as fast as Carr did. I like them all but you can tell when you hear it who is playing the drums on Detroit Rock City.

[@benthomas8765]

I thought the main drum part had more of a shuffle with ghost notes like in 100,000 years

[@benthomas8765]

Never mind! I typed to soon!

[@rockyvsrambo82]

@@benthomas8765 no problem

[@r.g.armstrong2688]

Thank you, i’m searching for the Eric Singer version. Guess he used the double bass.

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Yes, there is a few different versions... All the best

[@DavidM-mb1vx]

Who cares? Peters version is the only one that matters. ;)

[@MrAD-mb9nh]

@@DavidM-mb1vx actually that's Bob Ezrin Version cause he taught peter how to play it 😝

[@88kwthomas]

Almost the same lesson, continue to play the same with your right foot and then play the snare ghost notes with your left foot instead of using the snare.. Hard for a lot of drummers who usually start a double bass fill with their right foot.. Eric Singer is more accomplished musically than people think which is why something that sounds simple to the ear is harder to play than people give him credit for.. He'll be playing triplets in a kiss song without you even knowing

[@88kwthomas]

@@DavidM-mb1vx I'd agree if peter could actually explain what it was he was playing but he cant and never will because he was a hack of a musician who mistook luck for talent

[@peacefulbliss1]

I think you're snare fill at the end of the song goes on for too long. It's about half that many notes. See what you think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3-3m2d_qZJ3Z9U

[@starrdogchamp1]

Peter criss in my opinion was a terrible drummer for kiss. His big band influences took away from the heavy potential the songs could have had more of.

[@Acejustforalaugh]

With all of Peter's success, it's ridiculous for you to criticize him !

[@chadb9578]

Yeah but when Eric Carr and Eric Singer added the double bass drum, it made it so much better. Like on Alive 3

Hey Barry... Glad to hear you enjoyed the lesson... Love air drumming! Keep it up!!
