KISS DRUMMERS

KISS DRUMMERS: THE HEARTBEAT OF THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD

Every band needs a heartbeat, and in KISS, that heartbeat has always come from behind the drum kit. From Peter Criss’s jazzy swagger and raw street-level power, to Eric Carr’s thunderous double-bass attack and fiery determination, to Eric Singer’s precision and versatility, the drummers of KISS shaped not only the sound of the band but its very soul.

In KISS Drummers: The Heartbeat of the Hottest Band in the World, Joey Cassata — a lifelong professional drummer and die-hard KISS fan — takes you on an inside journey through the rhythm and history of KISS. With stories, insights, and reflections, the book dives deep into how each drummer left their mark, from the early club days to the sold-out arenas, from studio struggles to unforgettable live performances.

Packed with never-before-seen photos, rare documents, and exclusive materials straight from the archives, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look that fans have never experienced before.

This is not just another KISS book. It’s the untold story of the men who sat on the throne, steering the band through triumph, turmoil, and transformation. Without them, the spectacle, the fire, and the larger-than-life personas would have fallen apart.

Because in KISS, the drummers weren’t just timekeepers. They were — and always will be — the heartbeat.
