Andrew Sgambati began beating the skins at age 14. "I started out in the marching band at my high school, just like Tommy Lee," Andrew recalls. Unlike many of his peers, Andrew was drawn to Theatrical Rock and Heavy Metal at a very early age. " I believe that my first music memory was hearing my older brother playing KISS Records while I was still in my crib. By 1988 Andrew was a full-blown KISS freak. He was hooked after his first viewing of KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. "All I wanted to do was be KISS. I wanted to listen to them, perform like them and dress like them. "I was hooked on Rock and Roll!"

When it comes to recreating the original sound, look and overall performance of Peter Criss Andrew Sgambati is second to none. From his authentic Love Gun costume complete with 7 inch platform boots to his 11 piece vintage drum kit and Japanese Gong ... not to mention his nearly identical resemblance to Peter Criss! At only 22 years of age, Andrew has become the most ferocious catman to lurk the stage in KISS Tribute History.
