Eric Carr "Chikara" Drum Kit Tee

At Guitar Nut Tees, our passion is putting legendary instruments on tees—and this time, it's a drum kit!

Featured here is Eric Carr’s iconic “Chikara” drum kit from KISS’s 1987–1988 Crazy Nights world tour. In a last-minute creative move before the tour began, Eric visited a local copy shop in New York City, printed Chikara symbols in various sizes, and personally adhered them to each drum. Paired with a sleek stainless steel wrap, this Ludwig kit became one of the most visually striking and memorable in KISStory.

After Eric’s passing, the kit was disassembled and sold off piece by piece to collectors around the world. But now, we’ve brought it back—together again in all its glory—on this one-of-a-kind tee.

Eric would’ve loved it.
