Eric Singer of KISS

All Access Drumming.

Eric Singer, best known for his work with Kiss, has been a drummer in demand for over two decades. Originally released in 1996, Eric Singer’s, new and improved “All Access to Drumming” includes new footage including live clips, solos, and a photo gallery.

Singer, as always, looks the part of a rocker in this DVD guided to the drum set beginner. Running time is about 120 minutes in which Eric Singer runs through the equipment that he uses (Zildjian, Pearl, among others), and then gets into practice and warm-up exercises. Singer does a nice job explaining how rudiments are applied to the drum set and devotes a chapter on utilizing triplets. He also introduces some independence and double bass exercises that are probably too advanced for most beginners, however they will inspire.

There is also a section on performance trick tips which is fun, and short section on the business side of professional drumming that is probably out of context for the level of student.

All in all, Eric Singer captures the rock and roll spirit that is sure to enhance the beginning drummer’s appetite for more.
