Unexpected drum tastiness

[PorkPieGuy]

So, I've decided to revisit all of the KISS solo albums because I haven't heard them in forever. I was listening to "Rip it Out" by Ace, and I tripped across this tasty drum break. Just thought I'd share.

The fun begins at 1:55. Drummer is Anton Fig.

Anton is no slouch! Listen to him with Bonamassa

Anton Zipf!!!!

David Letterman is one of my heroes, and Anton was the drummer for The Worlds Most Dangerous Band for most of their run!!!

I think I saw the blue Yamahas he used on the show for sale on reverb.

Ace had an album in the late 80s. Frehley’s Comet. Another tune with Anton on the throne. Dude was a beast.

Ace's album was by far the best of the bunch, and Anton's drumming rocked!

I like peter's solo album. It was old school even for then. But that is a cool drum part. He lost me after the first pause. I did not hear the bass drum in the tom parts, like most drummers use today. Anton did an instruction video too, back in the '90'

I just finished up his album this morning on my commute. I really like it his voice, and his album is more of an R&B record. Gene Simmons's album will get a spin on my walk today.

yeah his voice has that scratchy rasp that I like the most. I don't like using genre labels, but I just call it old school, maybe motown. His voice is so good. Like them old blues cats, Or like Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, It has a Faces (Ron Wood, Rod Stewart), kind of style too. One tune I swear is "Stand by Me". I just looked at it again 1978!!

Wow, I was 10 years old and Mom spent $50 at a garage sale to buy a remo blue sparkle bass drum with one tom, with missing parts. A year later I got a used slingerland snare, silver sparkle. Lost it in a storage auction regretfully. It was my favorite snare, I just didn't know it then. Had it for 10 years. through every kit I owned before my current one. It had one of those dials on the side to move the internal muffle thingy... hahaha you don't see those anymore...

Back to Peter...yea Im re-listening to it right now... He has the perfect broken hearted voice for those tunes.
