KISS drummer Peter Criss named Drum Legend




Original KISS drummer Peter Criss was honored Saturday night with theDrum Legend award during the grand finals of Guitar Center's annual Drum-Off event.

The Drum Legend induction, at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, honors icons in the drum world that have paved the way for today's drummers. The award is given to those that have made significant contributions to the craft and have hugely influenced players by their style and illustrious musical career. 

Past inductees include John Bonham, Billy Cobham, Nicko McBrain, Steve Smith, Dave Garibaldi, Alan White, and Greg Errico.

“All of us drummers are the same,” said Criss. “We’re all like brothers. Nobody knows what it’s like to get back there and break your ass, and sweat yourself to death, while the guys in the front are kinda gettin’ the spotlight. If there’s not a great drummer, it ain’t a great band.
