@@satmadan8347 haha that’s awesome!! He certainly is a huge influence! Thanks for checking it out, and welcome to the channel!! I have more motley coming up in March!! 🤘🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Oh I love being here man. Drumming is a brotherhood to me. Tommy Lee was a big influence on me also. Very good drummer & great showmanship
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I saw him on The Dr Feelgood tour when he did that. Also, check out the video for Wild Side. He's spinning around in a cage. Nuts!
Honestly though! Even his later stuff in Saints is SO good. But double bass songs like Use it or Lose it.... pure gold! I actually have that one on my chennel too! ua-cam.com/video/_n9QzpgMe0M/v-deo.html
I wholeheartedly agree with this! This vid itself is a fine testimony to the man’s creativity! Fantastic showman live, equally as lethal in composing in the studio…folks like Tommy Aldridge only had the first part down…Tommy was, and is, a great drummer all-around.👍😎 HE was the best Crue member on the stage, in the Boston Garden, opening for Ozzy, during the Shout/Bark tour!🤘
@@tojorozombie and once you dive into the recordings, they are honestly SO organized with grooves and fills that make the songs what they are. Add the live aspect and it’s a home run! Also, dang that would have been a cool tour to see!
Tommy’s been my favorite drummer since they first came out and I been playing 32 years too all their stuff and one thing Tommy does so great that sets him apart is his cymbal playing especially high hats!! Wild side is my favorite to play along too and if you just pay attention to the high hats you’ll see what I mean
oh 100000% I completely agree. The cymbal grabs are the absolute BEST with Tommy. Or the way he kinda lets off the hats so they have this tight open and close sound (like in Too Fast). Such a good drummer
@Charlene Mack my name is Scott. Been playing since 84, toured from 91-04 and been a blue collar woodworker since retirement from music. New to sobriety and still play drums in the basement when woodworking allows the time. Keep rocking
Teased hair, Leopard print everything, I can only imagine LOL Thank god for bands like Steel Panther where I can at least re live a hint of what it may have been like 😂🤘
I forgot how much Cowbell was on Too Fast! I also saw Kyle Drums comment - Fight for your right is one of those songs where the breakdown is super cool to me. Still love the way he brought it in during Primal Scream. Now, add double kick and double up the cowbell on a different upload LOL! This was a great video man!
Man! Hahaha it was crazy to go through album by album and see just how much it was used! And I do have an idea or two for some cowbell comedy stuff coming up 😂😂 but double and triple cowbells can also be on that radar too hahahaha 🤘 Have a great weekend bro
Damn, you're good. Captured that T-Bone groove perfectly. Makes me miss playing drums. Use to incorporate a lot of that groove into my own playing years ago. I wish modern drummers had this kind of groove. It would bring so much more life to modern rock.
Right!? It kinda blows that most modern rock and metal band just program drums and call it a day… no feel or groove. :’) Thanks for the comment! You should start playing again!! :D
This is so awesome seeing you doing these songs that I grew up with!!! Everyone I knew who drummed loved Tommy Lee ❤. He was so innovative and such a powerhouse of a drummer!!! Great job.
Thats so awesome, glad you liked it! After learning all these and looking back, Tommy 100% crushes the drums. From too fast to saints, every beat was insane. Specifically saints of LA. Craziness haha 🤘
I'll Never forget, at 12-13 I shoveled snow, collected cans & bottles & just saved that money. That day came & I asked my brother to take me to cash in, get all my $ I saved & headed to get my 1st drumset. What a glorious day that was. Watching this takes me right back to that very day. The songs u play I played em too, over & over until I knew em by heart so I could just keep bashing em out myself. My 2nd kit I was workin for my unc & we saw em in someone's basement. The kid didn't want em, the dad was willing to sell em & unc got em for me. Now that's when I started gettin the obsession & stayed in my room playin to every song I'd ever heard. Crue, Metallica, A. Saint, any song from every hair & thrash band in the 80's (this was pre-grunge too). thanks again 👍
Mike that's such a cool story!! Do you still play now? And a similar one!! I bought this kit by cutting 8 lawns a week while in elementary school, as well as shovelling haha. Add in school and a real job once I was in high school... BOOM Brand new kit! I wouldn't trade it for the world. I bet you have the same feelings with yours!
Boy that’s a nice walk down memory lane. I would have never rememberd all those spots. Especially the first album. Long ago and many smoke filled rooms ago.
Honestly some of the beats were a total shock at how complicated they were, yet they seemed to fit so well in the songs! Thanks so much!! More motley is on the way!! 🤘
Very nice, thank you for this. I found your channel for the first time just the other day and saw your performance of "Monkey Business" and it was excellent. This was one too, you have it sir, way better than me with more than thirty years of working on it. My song request for you someday is "Creepshow" by Skid Row. The back and forth of the cowbell/ride cymbal part that Rob Affuso does in that song is still impossible for me. Very good too that you are wearing headphones...forget what people think. The drums and cymbals, especially the hi-hats will damage the ears way more and way faster than what most people think. Sorry for the ramble and good luck to you sir.
Oh man! No worries on the comment length! I’m here for it! I’ll mark down creepshow and hopefully record it in an upcoming session🤘 So pumped you liked monkey business, that cover was so fun to do! Rob is an absolute monster!
That one definitely was awesome, there are so many to choose from off of Theater. Dancing on Glass has to be one of my favs. BUT! I think in the actual recording, the cowbell is a totally separate track. So trying to do it all as one was a fun challenge LOL
Wow bro.... Awesome drumming, mad skills. Excellent collage and outstanding musicianship. Rock Solid as always.... That ride cymbal sounds amazing what size is it. Then again your whole kit sounds great it’s gotta be because of the dude that’s playing them💪🏻
Thanks for the kind words Troy! That's a chris adler signature ride. 24"!! It's f****n HUGE! haha but by far one of my favorite rides for metal stuff! And you are very right, it's all how the player plays a kit! I imagine if you put a pro on a beginner set they will make it sound like a million bucks haha... like Matt Garstka.. I bet he could make pots and pans sound like gold 😂😂😭🤘
U "Killed" it brother! I'm a drummer too, grew up with all these songs & immediately I "knew" what I wanted to do, play drums!If ur not already in a band, u should play for a Crue tribute band you'd crush it man, watching u reminds me so much o myself (style, tech.), keep it comin bro
Oh dude that's so kind of you. I really appreciate the comment!! And that's awesome we have a similar taste in REAL music :P I have some GNR coming up this week 🤘
Missed a song. (Dr.Feelgood) That cowbell tone works nice on the later stuff, however the tone is not in the right pitch for earler stuff, can really hear how out of tune the CB is on Feelgood album. Great job. Sounds awesome
Son of a gun, I remember listening and listening to that track, its on my regular rotation of music, in the Some of the choruses dont have it, so I must have just assumed it didn't! 😭 And yeah! I found while mixing, it matched closest to the Theater of Pain Cowbell sound! Thanks for the comment!! :)
Martin, this is where I am supposed to say…NEEDS MORE COWBELL lol. Not this time, just the right amount. Excellent video and that is no April Fools’ Day joke. 🐄🔔💞
"Hammered" has quite a bit of cowbell and is a cool groove. Wish it was on the video. Still a nice assortment. I have an old cowbell dented and cracked on BOTH sides. I played a lot of Crue back in the day.
DAMN! I think that's 4 that I missed 😭 Thats such a good song too! Thank you for pointing it out. And I know exactly what you mean, I have a few cowbells in the cracked equipment graveyard haha Thanks so much for the comment! Here is the link to Hammered: ua-cam.com/video/c4CEWm8sn_U/v-deo.html
A fucking masterpiece. My only critique is the end of livewire. The three cowbell hits. If you watch the music video Lee is doing almost a left arm- head cover while attacking the cowbell with a great facial expression. If you could implement that into your repertoire, you good sir, would become a legend. Maybe next you could do one for the drummer from 80s band firehouse. Athough not as well known as Tommy Lee, he manages to work in a lot of cowbell into their music. Fucking 80s were the best time to grow up. Oh to be a teenage hood again
LOL! I know the scene! yeah his visual showmanship while drumming is something I look up to! I'll check firehouse out! 80s were the best!! Thanks for the comment! 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums if you find my name in the comments there, I time stamped that scene. Every time I hear that song I stop what I'm doing at that cowbell and mimic that move. I'm 50 now and I'm sure I'll still do it when I'm 80.
After listening back, I’m almost positive that they had a separate track for the cowbell on the Girls Girls Girls album. There are some fills and beats that are nearly impossible at the end of Dancing on Glass while also having that cowbell going. 😂 specifically at 3:12 or so in the actual track, he is doing a steady hi hat foot pattern over one of his classic washing machine beats, then nailing some pretty awesome cymbal chokes and snare fills… but that cowbell keeps going. Which would be almost physically impossible lmao AAAAaanyways 😂 sorry, I was literally blown away a few weeks ago when listening and coming to that realization. Really appreciate your comment though Lachy!🤘 Here is the link to Dancing on glass 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/fST_FAKtMSc/v-deo.html
Yeah haha, I seen a live version of “dog” on UA-cam and in the end Vince is banging on a cowbell, but anyway pretty sick that you were able to make that sound as good as you did man 🔥
Hey thank you Brian! The newer videos on the channel have been dialed in a bit since this one. Always trying to get a better mix! Really appreciate the comment!!🤘
That makes so much sense with how the songs were recorded!! Some of the parts were almost physically impossible if there wasn’t that separate cowbell track! Like the ending of Dancing on glass, there are drum fills and patterns that would require a third arm 😂
Thank you Scott! LMAOOO Not entirely, someone pointed out there are 4 hits at the end of "Shout at the devil" it's really hidden, so maybe he snuck it in there LOL You can check out the details of it and the link to the song in the pinned comment! 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums No doubt I'll be watching lots of your videos over the years. I'm a drummer in a little garage band. My favorite drummer is Tommy Lee and my style is similar to Steven Adler. We play a lot of 80's rock, with some 70's and 90's stuff in the mix. I only wish I was half as good as you are! Again, keep up the great work and much success with your channel! Thomas
@@GTSCarLife oh man! Thank you Thomas! I’ll be pumping out the 80s (and a few newer bands too) coming up! I also have kind of a goofy series called “does it need double bass” it takes unsuspecting songs and slams some tasteful metal drumming into them haha How long have you been playing for?
Come On and Dance is very unique with the double hits on the cowbell in the bridge. [triplet feel, but only playing the second and third notes of the triplet]. Keep Your Eye on the Money is absolutely the most fun Motley Crue song to play on drums!! [ So is Wild side, but no cowbell!]
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Other top faves are Danger [esp intro cymbal work], Knock Em Dead Kid [frantic badass fills in solo section], and Louder Than Hell!!
Hey Thanks Bob! Yeah he has some pretty wild stuff! A few songs I believe were separate tracks (in the rea of the girls girls girls album), but none the less, its still super cool to hear it added in! 🤘
That is such a huge compliment! Thank you so much!!! Honestly one of the hardest was Saints (the very last one) so I really appreciate the full view! Did you have a favourite??
How are you liking those sticks? I have been using them for a year now!! I liked them just had to get used to them since they are 2B and my other sticks were 5b. It all sounds great and awesomely played!! More cowbell!!
RIGHT!? They last for ever if you arent slamming rimshots haha, I blew through some 5B's which snapped in the middle after a few months of solid playing (talking 3-6 hour sessions). BUT! The tommy Lee signatures definitely have a front weight to them. I think that just goes for his style, hard hitting! haha And get out! They are 2B's!? I guess that makes sense then haha. You'll lose it if you try out the Thomas Lang sticks. They almost double as lumber! haha making 2B's feel like pencils LOL The thing I like about ahead is that the white tips on the sticks look super sharp! and you can replace the sleeves! And finally, Yes! Always more cowbell 🤘🤘
@@MavicGuy2112 I hear that!! I do find that some grip tape around the bottom of the stick helps, just so they don’t creep out of your hands while playing!
@@victorneckar7743 hey thanks Victor! Yeah, the Tommy Lee Ahead sticks are so good, I find them super forward heavy if that makes sense haha. Compared to wood or even a 5B ahead stick. Either way, super sick! Thanks for the comment 🤘
Just Happy this came across my feed this morn! Honestly at Early-morning low volume that Sig. Bell sounds Very accurate to original, in context so this was also first vid I noticed where it was used Right. I was kinda on fence between picking this bell up or the Mike Johnston & ended up with a cheapo LP for now,, plus added a little magnet to it (like mikes), After watching your vid kinda leaning back towards the Tommy-bell now!:) Great video, great playing & excellent feature of that relatively new Signature model Cowbell!!
Hey Thank you Dirk! Yeah this cowbell when isolated sounds almost identical to the one used on the Theater of Pain album. and holy is it LOUD! Here is my full in depth review of it: ua-cam.com/video/HxM0XzQ9Lc0/v-deo.html Thank you for the comment 🤘 nothin wrong with a cheapo LP! I bet it sounds great!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Just Watched your review vid, good stuff & ya, that cowbwell I got was the little LP City model. Guy locally had it still in pkg from 12years ago & I picked it up for $10bucks, added my own paint job to it, threw alittle button-sized magnet on it for slight muffling & works just fine for now on the practice kit!:)
@@dirkayala5812 that’s so perfect! Yeah I think with the signature models, part of it is just paying for “the name”… where as the regular ones sound just as good for a fraction of the cost. AND you can customize it however you like!!
Hey thank you so much dude!! Also I know 😭 I put a list of all the ones I missed in the pinned comment. The Dr. Feelgood one has cowbell in certain choruses. The section I checked didn’t and I was like “Welp, that’s weird. I guess it doesn’t… 🤦♂️” I’ve listened to it 1000 times and should have known better! I appreciate the comment!! 🤘thanks again!
@@69racer69 no worries at all!! :) there’s a few there that are sneaky! I’m not sure if there’s any more off of SOLA.. But hey! We got _almost_ all of them :P 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Dr Feelgood was your biggest miss, listen to the intro 😉 I was surprised just how many songs had it in, obviously wasn’t cool enough for shout at the devil 🤘🏻
People get hung up on technical prowess and the like but Tommy is an awesome Rock n Roll drummer he’s more than just a drummer he’s part of the show and a Rock star! There’s a difference between being a great drummer and being a great entertainer! If you’re going to a MC show looking for technique your missing the point.
YES!! I honestly couldn't agree more!! Thats what I think makes Tommy such a powerhouse, he is both visually amazing to watch, but also has the chops that back up the 80s style of music perfectly.
Hey thanks dude! I put all the ones I missed in the pinned comments, there are a couple that have a small amount in there that I missed during my discography listening session 😭😭😭
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Ohhh yea gotcha, some are also very hard to catch. I believe one of the main snare grooves on Wild Side is cowbell, not entirely sure but it sounds like it
Ooooooo Good question, there are so many to choose from. But I have to say surprisingly the ones where I look back and say "That was fun to play" had to be either 3:50 City Boy Blues or 6:58 Sumthin' For Nuthin' each one is so unique thought, I love them all! The hardest one for me was 11:17 Saints of Los Angeles. There was just so much going on LOL Tommy is a monster😂🤘
Yeah! I re-listened to it over a few times and not one cowbell hit! The closest thing is that Church bell in Looks That Kill. Unless there's a song I completely ignored!! Thanks for the comment! 🤘
@@allancueto22 are you talking about 2:45 ish there's something there on the 1 and 3, but it's pretty covered by other stuff going on. I'll listen again! ua-cam.com/video/tiqY2Mf0nIw/v-deo.html
@@allancueto22 son of a gun... welp shit. Hahaha Thanks for pointing that one out! That's still wild, only 1 track on shout that features like 10 seconds or so of cowbell under a stomping outro! I'll update the description with the find! 🤘 thank you again 😁 that's so cool
OH CRAP!! Damn, that's a killer track too!! Thanks for pointing it out Todd! I'll add it to the pinned comment, here's the link to Welcome To The Numb: ua-cam.com/video/QHfhpGf3cyA/v-deo.html
Hey thank you Greg! I know the exact part! It's that hi hat groove right before the verses. It sounds almost like a hammer on an anvil, it's very metallic instead of the tone that his cowbell has. I have seen other suggestions that it was a steel hand railing of sorts. Hope that helps :) thanks for commenting!!!
Yeah!! Someone pointed out there is like 2- 4 hits right at the end of the actual Shout at the devil track. Check out the pinned comment for all those details! I 100% missed it, they don’t have it in their re-released version of shout when they were touring carnival of sins.
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums that and cymbal chokes. It reminded me a lot of Dave Ambruzzesse from pearl jam. Dude used a lot of cymbals, splashes especially but always made it sound great.
Awesome playing but tommy lee snuck in cow bell in 2 one bar sections in dr feel good I’ve been wanting to see someone play that he doesn’t even play it live
Oh shit Really!! I remember listening to that one a few times back because it sounds like there should be a cowbell hidden in that song somewhere! I'll take another listen! Thanks for bringing that one up!!🤘
In this video, not only does he count the band in with the hi-hat/cowbell combo (which I consider to be one of Tommy Lee’s signature moves), but you can see him using the cowbell in between the chorus and verse at about 2:20: ua-cam.com/video/4Nbpf7pZNis/v-deo.html
@@rkchang77 damn, good find!!! I feel like a dummy for not checking live performances of it. I’ve seen them so many times too!! 😭😭 And I totally agree, the cowbell &hihat count in, 100% Tommy Lee

No, Tommy Lee is a competent drummer but he def isn’t “one of the best”. After 3-4 years at the most I’d expect someone to be at his level

I forgot how much Cowbell was on Too Fast! I also saw Kyle Drums comment - Fight for your right is one of those songs where the breakdown is super cool to me. Still love the way he brought it in during Primal Scream. Now, add double kick and double up the cowbell on a different upload LOL! This was a great video man!
Man! Hahaha it was crazy to go through album by album and see just how much it was used!
And I do have an idea or two for some cowbell comedy stuff coming up 😂😂 but double and triple cowbells can also be on that radar too hahahaha 🤘
Have a great weekend bro
Amé tu video
Wow, you absolutely crushed those grooves. So many great songs with the cowbell!
Hey thanks Chris! 🤘Yeah its wild how much Tommy used the cowbell in Too Fast for Love!
Really appreciate the comment!
Damn, you're good. Captured that T-Bone groove perfectly. Makes me miss playing drums. Use to incorporate a lot of that groove into my own playing years ago. I wish modern drummers had this kind of groove. It would bring so much more life to modern rock.
Right!? It kinda blows that most modern rock and metal band just program drums and call it a day… no feel or groove. :’)
Thanks for the comment! You should start playing again!! :D
This is so awesome seeing you doing these songs that I grew up with!!! Everyone I knew who drummed loved Tommy Lee ❤. He was so innovative and such a powerhouse of a drummer!!! Great job.
Thats so awesome, glad you liked it! After learning all these and looking back, Tommy 100% crushes the drums. From too fast to saints, every beat was insane. Specifically saints of LA. Craziness haha 🤘
Damn dude. I love how you are so quick on the cymbal choke. Awesome watching you play
Hey thank you. It’s an absolute killer of knuckles 😂😭 really appreciate the comment!! 🤘
I'll Never forget, at 12-13 I shoveled snow, collected cans & bottles & just saved that money. That day came & I asked my brother to take me to cash in, get all my $ I saved & headed to get my 1st drumset. What a glorious day that was. Watching this takes me right back to that very day. The songs u play I played em too, over & over until I knew em by heart so I could just keep bashing em out myself. My 2nd kit I was workin for my unc & we saw em in someone's basement. The kid didn't want em, the dad was willing to sell em & unc got em for me. Now that's when I started gettin the obsession & stayed in my room playin to every song I'd ever heard. Crue, Metallica, A. Saint, any song from every hair & thrash band in the 80's (this was pre-grunge too). thanks again 👍
Mike that's such a cool story!! Do you still play now?
And a similar one!! I bought this kit by cutting 8 lawns a week while in elementary school, as well as shovelling haha. Add in school and a real job once I was in high school... BOOM Brand new kit!
I wouldn't trade it for the world. I bet you have the same feelings with yours!
Boy that’s a nice walk down memory lane. I would have never rememberd all those spots. Especially the first album. Long ago and many smoke filled rooms ago.
haha That's amazing! Yeah he really used that cowbell to its full potential early on!
Kick ass job
Forgot just how much he tastefully uses that bell in his drum writing
Seriously good cover vid dude
Keep rockin
Honestly some of the beats were a total shock at how complicated they were, yet they seemed to fit so well in the songs!
Thanks so much!! More motley is on the way!! 🤘
Very nice, thank you for this. I found your channel for the first time just the other day and saw your performance of "Monkey Business" and it was excellent. This was one too, you have it sir, way better than me with more than thirty years of working on it. My song request for you someday is "Creepshow" by Skid Row. The back and forth of the cowbell/ride cymbal part that Rob Affuso does in that song is still impossible for me. Very good too that you are wearing headphones...forget what people think. The drums and cymbals, especially the hi-hats will damage the ears way more and way faster than what most people think. Sorry for the ramble and good luck to you sir.
Oh man! No worries on the comment length! I’m here for it! I’ll mark down creepshow and hopefully record it in an upcoming session🤘
So pumped you liked monkey business, that cover was so fun to do! Rob is an absolute monster!
Starry Eyes takes me back to 6th grade. Thank you.
That's so cool to hear! I actually love that song! Maybe I'll do a full version of it! 🤘
Thanks for the comment Dave!
I think “Fight for Your Right” might be my favorite breakdown. 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
That one definitely was awesome, there are so many to choose from off of Theater. Dancing on Glass has to be one of my favs. BUT! I think in the actual recording, the cowbell is a totally separate track. So trying to do it all as one was a fun challenge LOL
He definitely loves the cowbell. Walken would be very proud.
Thanks Mark! hah yeah man, its crazy to see the transformation of how he used it throughout the albums!
Wow bro.... Awesome drumming, mad skills. Excellent collage and outstanding musicianship. Rock Solid as always.... That ride cymbal sounds amazing what size is it. Then again your whole kit sounds great it’s gotta be because of the dude that’s playing them💪🏻
Thanks for the kind words Troy! That's a chris adler signature ride. 24"!! It's f****n HUGE! haha but by far one of my favorite rides for metal stuff! And you are very right, it's all how the player plays a kit! I imagine if you put a pro on a beginner set they will make it sound like a million bucks haha... like Matt Garstka.. I bet he could make pots and pans sound like gold 😂😂😭🤘
U "Killed" it brother! I'm a drummer too, grew up with all these songs & immediately I "knew" what I wanted to do, play drums!If ur not already in a band, u should play for a Crue tribute band you'd crush it man, watching u reminds me so much o myself (style, tech.), keep it comin bro
Oh dude that's so kind of you. I really appreciate the comment!! And that's awesome we have a similar taste in REAL music :P I have some GNR coming up this week 🤘
So perfect 👌🏻 MB rocks the Casbah again with this awesome production of Tommy Lee’s cowbelln’ masterpieces. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

He’s an absolute beast when it comes to some pretty unique patterns! 🤘 I appreciate the comment!! Thank you

I won't mention the listen through of their albums 😂🤘
That snare 🤤
Thank you! 🤘 Its a gretsch renown 14x5.5. It should have been mixed a bit better, but I'm glad you liked it!!
Missed a song. (Dr.Feelgood)
That cowbell tone works nice on the later stuff, however the tone is not in the right pitch for earler stuff, can really hear how out of tune the CB is on Feelgood album.
Great job. Sounds awesome
Son of a gun, I remember listening and listening to that track, its on my regular rotation of music, in the Some of the choruses dont have it, so I must have just assumed it didn't! 😭
And yeah! I found while mixing, it matched closest to the Theater of Pain Cowbell sound!
Thanks for the comment!! :)
Killer rock drummer! Snare sound great love the cymbal catches!✌🏽😎
Hey Thank you Steve! Really appreciate you checking it out!
I remember not being too happy with the snare mix, But I'm super glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
Great job, especially on the first album cuts
Hey Thank you so much Jay! Those ones will always be my favs! My apologies for the late response!
You played like Tommy was doing the drums , nice rip
He's the best! I appreciate the comment!
Martin, this is where I am supposed to say…NEEDS MORE COWBELL lol. Not this time, just the right amount. Excellent video and that is no April Fools’ Day joke. 🐄🔔💞
Haha boom! That’s where it’s at! Happy April fools day
Explore the room with the Cowbell... 😎
Great video .
😂🤣😂 lmfao! I got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell! Haha
Thanks Jordan! 🤘
Epic upload!
Thanks man!!🤘
"Hammered" has quite a bit of cowbell and is a cool groove. Wish it was on the video. Still a nice assortment. I have an old cowbell dented and cracked on BOTH sides. I played a lot of Crue back in the day.
DAMN! I think that's 4 that I missed 😭
Thats such a good song too! Thank you for pointing it out. And I know exactly what you mean, I have a few cowbells in the cracked equipment graveyard haha Thanks so much for the comment!
Here is the link to Hammered: ua-cam.com/video/c4CEWm8sn_U/v-deo.html
A fucking masterpiece. My only critique is the end of livewire. The three cowbell hits. If you watch the music video Lee is doing almost a left arm- head cover while attacking the cowbell with a great facial expression. If you could implement that into your repertoire, you good sir, would become a legend. Maybe next you could do one for the drummer from 80s band firehouse. Athough not as well known as Tommy Lee, he manages to work in a lot of cowbell into their music. Fucking 80s were the best time to grow up. Oh to be a teenage hood again
LOL! I know the scene! yeah his visual showmanship while drumming is something I look up to! I'll check firehouse out! 80s were the best!!
Thanks for the comment! 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums if you find my name in the comments there, I time stamped that scene. Every time I hear that song I stop what I'm doing at that cowbell and mimic that move. I'm 50 now and I'm sure I'll still do it when I'm 80.
@@dyerseve45 Thats so awesome!!! Long live the 80's metal scene!
Wow I never knew he did that in dancing on glass 🔥
After listening back, I’m almost positive that they had a separate track for the cowbell on the Girls Girls Girls album. There are some fills and beats that are nearly impossible at the end of Dancing on Glass while also having that cowbell going. 😂 specifically at 3:12 or so in the actual track, he is doing a steady hi hat foot pattern over one of his classic washing machine beats, then nailing some pretty awesome cymbal chokes and snare fills… but that cowbell keeps going. Which would be almost physically impossible lmao
AAAAaanyways 😂 sorry, I was literally blown away a few weeks ago when listening and coming to that realization.
Really appreciate your comment though Lachy!🤘
Here is the link to Dancing on glass 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/fST_FAKtMSc/v-deo.html
Yeah haha, I seen a live version of “dog” on UA-cam and in the end Vince is banging on a cowbell, but anyway pretty sick that you were able to make that sound as good as you did man 🔥
@@LachNoz Viiiinnnceeee!!!! Aaaahhh that makes so much sense! I know they had the back up singers… so part of me was like.. hmm maybe them 😂😂
Nice work. Your drums sound incredible, especially your floor toms.
Hey thank you Brian! The newer videos on the channel have been dialed in a bit since this one. Always trying to get a better mix!
Really appreciate the comment!!🤘
During the GIRLS tour especially Vince would bang along on a cowbell.
So cool to see some of these tunes performed so well, great job.
That makes so much sense with how the songs were recorded!! Some of the parts were almost physically impossible if there wasn’t that separate cowbell track! Like the ending of Dancing on glass, there are drum fills and patterns that would require a third arm 😂
Not the only thing Vince was banging on that tour...
This is amazing! Great job. Did they ban him from using the cowbell on the Shout album =)
Thank you Scott! LMAOOO Not entirely, someone pointed out there are 4 hits at the end of "Shout at the devil" it's really hidden, so maybe he snuck it in there LOL

Hey Thank you so much! I have a TON more Motley in the description, and plenty more 80's covers on the channel :) Glad you liked it! 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums No doubt I'll be watching lots of your videos over the years. I'm a drummer in a little garage band. My favorite drummer is Tommy Lee and my style is similar to Steven Adler. We play a lot of 80's rock, with some 70's and 90's stuff in the mix. I only wish I was half as good as you are! Again, keep up the great work and much success with your channel! Thomas
@@GTSCarLife oh man! Thank you Thomas! I’ll be pumping out the 80s (and a few newer bands too) coming up!
I also have kind of a goofy series called “does it need double bass” it takes unsuspecting songs and slams some tasteful metal drumming into them haha
How long have you been playing for?
Come On and Dance is very unique with the double hits on the cowbell in the bridge. [triplet feel, but only playing the second and third notes of the triplet].
Keep Your Eye on the Money is absolutely the most fun Motley Crue song to play on drums!! [ So is Wild side, but no cowbell!]
Yesss!!! All 3 are so good! Not enough love is shown for Theatre, it has so many good songs

This was cool. I watched it all and that’s rare for me. Good job
That is such a huge compliment! Thank you so much!!! Honestly one of the hardest was Saints (the very last one) so I really appreciate the full view! Did you have a favourite??
Welcome to the Numb, Hammered have cowbell as well.
Shoot!! Yep, I 100% blew right passed those ones 😭😭 I have added them to the pinned comment! Thank you for pointing those out Nehomar!!
How are you liking those sticks? I have been using them for a year now!! I liked them just had to get used to them since they are 2B and my other sticks were 5b. It all sounds great and awesomely played!! More cowbell!!
RIGHT!? They last for ever if you arent slamming rimshots haha, I blew through some 5B's which snapped in the middle after a few months of solid playing (talking 3-6 hour sessions).
BUT! The tommy Lee signatures definitely have a front weight to them. I think that just goes for his style, hard hitting! haha And get out! They are 2B's!? I guess that makes sense then haha. You'll lose it if you try out the Thomas Lang sticks. They almost double as lumber! haha making 2B's feel like pencils LOL
The thing I like about ahead is that the white tips on the sticks look super sharp! and you can replace the sleeves!
And finally, Yes! Always more cowbell 🤘🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I can't play without them. Once you get used to the feel of them, all else sucks
@@MavicGuy2112 I hear that!! I do find that some grip tape around the bottom of the stick helps, just so they don’t creep out of your hands while playing!
Omg I love those sticks,Kick ass drumming though well done brother
@@victorneckar7743 hey thanks Victor! Yeah, the Tommy Lee Ahead sticks are so good, I find them super forward heavy if that makes sense haha. Compared to wood or even a 5B ahead stick. Either way, super sick! Thanks for the comment 🤘
Just Happy this came across my feed this morn!
Honestly at Early-morning low volume that Sig. Bell sounds Very accurate to original, in context so this was also first vid I noticed where it was used Right.
I was kinda on fence between picking this bell up or the Mike Johnston & ended up with a cheapo LP for now,, plus added a little magnet to it (like mikes),
After watching your vid kinda leaning back towards the Tommy-bell now!:)
Great video, great playing & excellent feature of that relatively new Signature model Cowbell!!
Hey Thank you Dirk! Yeah this cowbell when isolated sounds almost identical to the one used on the Theater of Pain album. and holy is it LOUD!
Here is my full in depth review of it: ua-cam.com/video/HxM0XzQ9Lc0/v-deo.html
Thank you for the comment 🤘 nothin wrong with a cheapo LP! I bet it sounds great!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Just Watched your review vid, good stuff & ya, that cowbwell I got was the little LP City model. Guy locally had it still in pkg from 12years ago & I picked it up for $10bucks, added my own paint job to it, threw alittle button-sized magnet on it for slight muffling & works just fine for now on the practice kit!:)
@@dirkayala5812 that’s so perfect! Yeah I think with the signature models, part of it is just paying for “the name”… where as the regular ones sound just as good for a fraction of the cost. AND you can customize it however you like!!
Keep Your Eye on the Money and S.O.S gotta be my favorites with cowbell!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼
YES! Keep your eye on the money is one of my favs from Theatre! Such an under rated album🤘
Wow amazing playing , I might buy a drum kit just for this I'm a big crue head
Yo that's so sick! Drums are the absolute best!

Nice playing.. And nice crash cymbals sounding 👍
Thank you Jose! 🤘Super glad you like them too!! :)
Damn Tommy was such a mature player at such a young age. Awesome. Good job.
I totally agree! He was playing some pretty wild stuff from the start!
You forgot “Dr Feelgood”
But wow, you really play so accurately, well done dude.
Hey thank you so much dude!!
Also I know 😭 I put a list of all the ones I missed in the pinned comment. The Dr. Feelgood one has cowbell in certain choruses. The section I checked didn’t and I was like “Welp, that’s weird. I guess it doesn’t… 🤦♂️” I’ve listened to it 1000 times and should have known better!

People get hung up on technical prowess and the like but Tommy is an awesome Rock n Roll drummer he’s more than just a drummer he’s part of the show and a Rock star! There’s a difference between being a great drummer and being a great entertainer! If you’re going to a MC show looking for technique your missing the point.
YES!! I honestly couldn't agree more!! Thats what I think makes Tommy such a powerhouse, he is both visually amazing to watch, but also has the chops that back up the 80s style of music perfectly.
Just great! Tight and rocking.
Hey Thank you so much!! 🤘🤘
Jeez and I thought Popcorn Adler like his cowbell!
haha Move over Steven Adler, Theres a new sheriff in town 😂🤘
awesome! i want a low sounding cowbell but im happy with my high one lol
Thanks! Yeah there are some even lower than this one! LOL I feel like the best cowbell sound is from Monkey Business - Skid Row. Just powerful! 🤘
Awsome video, In looks that kill he maybe use a biger bell 1 time, but in Hammered I belived he use cowbell :D
Hey bro,Great playoffs!!!Some of those parts are a bit tricky so yeah nice job!!!
Hey Thank you Johny! Yeah the early stuff was incredibly tricky! But I think the hardest one was Saints of LA. Tommy is a monster! 🤘
awesome video. i believe shout at the devil and wild side also features cowbell too
Hey thanks dude! I put all the ones I missed in the pinned comments, there are a couple that have a small amount in there that I missed during my discography listening session 😭😭😭
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Ohhh yea gotcha, some are also very hard to catch. I believe one of the main snare grooves on Wild Side is cowbell, not entirely sure but it sounds like it
Great video which song was your favourite to play?
Ooooooo Good question, there are so many to choose from. But I have to say surprisingly the ones where I look back and say "That was fun to play" had to be either 3:50 City Boy Blues or 6:58 Sumthin' For Nuthin'
each one is so unique thought, I love them all!
The hardest one for me was 11:17 Saints of Los Angeles. There was just so much going on LOL Tommy is a monster😂🤘

So the Shout At The Devil LP didn't have any cowbell? That's a cool little piece of trivia especially when you consider how much Tommy hit that bell!
