BC CRISS


Has had a passion for music his whole life and always dreamed of playing in a band. "I tried playing guitar, but sucked at it and always wanted drums." BC is a self-taught drummer with heavy influences by Peter Criss, Anton Fig, Tommy Lee, and Robert Sweet.
It all really began when he purchased his 1st kit in '87 (5pc Apollo), when he turned 21. "This is when I got to play on "real drums" - instead of boxes, my bed, dresser, or whatever could be used as drums previously." BC learned by playing along with a lot of Rock music, like Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Joan Jett, OZZY, and KISS for hours on end. He bought his 2nd kit (vintage 10pc CB700) in '88, which makes up most of the setup used as the early vintage "Peter Criss" set in Rocket Ride and his third set in '94 (9pc Pearl Export), which is what he still uses in his other band projects
BC Criss has been in many Rock and Metal bands over the years including Skunkbudz (original band with all bass guitar only), Shattered (with Brian Blanke - AKA Ace Blanke), Ivory Tiger (with Jimmy B - AKA Gjim Simmons), and is currently also part of 8-Track Flashback and Pop Rockz.
