The Eric Singer’s KISS Kruise Drum Off will give booked KISS Kruise guests the opportunity to compete live in front of Singer and a panel of professional drummers. The competition takes place Sunday from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM on the Main Ballroom Stage.

Drummers interested in competing can submit a one-minute video featuring either a drum solo or a play-along performance to a KISS track. From the submissions, six drummers will be selected to compete live at the event.

Following the opening round, three finalists will advance for a final performance, with one drummer ultimately being named the KISS Kruise Drum Off Champion and taking home a prize.

Singer won’t be making the decision alone. The Drum Off will feature a judging panel of experienced touring and recording drummers, including Jordan Cannata of Slaughter, Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger, Kent Slucher of Kuarantine, Chad Stewart of Faster Pussycat, Dwain Miller of KEEL, Jeff Gerhardt of Rock and Roll Over, and Kevin Valentine of Psycho Circus. Together, the panel will watch the competitors perform live and help determine who advances through each round. Advertisement

Following the Drum Off, Singer will remain on stage for a special Q&A moderated by Modern Drummer CEO David Frangioni. The conversation will give fans an opportunity to hear stories from Singer’s career, get a look behind the scenes, and ask questions directly to the longtime KISS drummer.

Participation is open exclusively to booked KISS Kruise guests. Entrants must submit a one-minute drum solo or KISS play-along video through the official submission form.
