All these years and he hasn't aged a bit, he still looks 103.
That's Hysterical 😂
And not a day over.
and plays like hes 23 lol
The music business is in horrible shape, but Tommy can always get a gig as a blacksmith in the interim. 🤪
This comment cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣
He beats those drums like they owe him money.
And still has that classic Jew fro
fcking those drums up
They do 😂
@@JM-kq4le I believe you!
For him playing on them they do!!!
Tommy is a serious icon of American hard rock and metal drumming. Dude should be in the rock roll hall of fame just for being a drummer who has made a major impact on the musical landscape.
Badass drummer for sur
Sometimes it looks like he doesn’t know what to do next and at the very last second he smashes about 3 different things and it sounds great!
I noticed that too. It's like he's almost about to lose it and never does. He's a total beast and an absolute legend. Mad, mad respect.
Great comment. So true.
I wonder if muscle memory takes over.
@@delilasloan8914 Without a doubt, at least 90% is muscle memory, that's what drumming is all about.
He’s also used to a bigger kit, so he it likely figuring out his fills on the fly with few tom toms.
Rumour has it that this was a 12 piece kit when Tommy walked in the room but 9 drums took off in fear for their lives.
Thank you. I haven't laughed that hard in years. That was super funny bro.
Lmfao. Thank you for giving me that one good laugh you get once a day
He beat them to death ! 😁
👊🤣
Bwahahaha! Chuck Norris of the drum kit!!!!!
That guy plays drums like he's in a bar fight. Awesome
😂😂😂
great comment dude!
You gotta problem wit dat buddy?
Lol.
Hahahah
Good one. ^^
A simple 4-piece with a master in command. That's all you really need
What did I just witness with my fkn eyeballs thats one of the dopest moments in rock EVER.
"Hay Grandpa, can you still play drums.."
Tommy: "Hold my beer.."
Boooooooooo. Suck. Booooooo.
@Brutus Thornton
That's it, I wish I had come up with that thigh-slapper.
70 years old, crazy!!!
Possibly the most over used joke on UA-cam. Tiresome.
😂🤣
Fans of his drumming should know this too: He is a sweet, good-hearted person. God Bless.
Yes Aldridge is a Christian and lives it. Amazing within itself considering the world he has lived in for the last 50 years
Did you see his interview in The Sessions. Amazingly sweet and insightful. Look for it, here in UA-cam. Unbelievable excelent, and hisorically precise
Yup. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
The Holy spirit is with ,Tommy [Methuselah] Aldridge.
@@cricket8646 So he believes in slavery, genocide, homophobia, and the subjugation of women? That's cool. fart sound
Legend has it the drum kit spent 6 months in the hospital after the attack.
Tommy is the KING of the cymbal choke.
Nobody has that style. The man is a master.
That title has to stay with Johnathan Moffett, MJ's drummer. But yeah, Tommy's got it down!
@@YaoEspirito you beat me to it haha
You can even hear those cymbal chokes back in the early 70's when he was with BOA.
It's called a cymbal "choke."
@@YaoEspirito beat me to it. Lol was going to mention him
Mad respect for Tommy, playing drums with such energy and with a poodle balanced on his head all those years!
The comments here are just spectacular
I hope to have that much hair on my head when I’m that old ! 😁
😎😂😎🤣😎😂
🐩🐩🐩
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
9 months later after this night with Tommy, these drums gave birth. It’s true.
"Triplets," I take it? 😄
Into his iconic double bass kit.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I love it how he chokes the cymbals with the same hand that he hits them with.
Nice guy, humble....can play drums- meh
Not to hijack or take anything away from Tommy but, if you wanna see some brilliant cymbal chokes, Sugarfoot, Michael Jackson's tour drummer, does some killer work. He doesn't use cymbal chokes as much but the behind his head double chokes are really cool,
ua-cam.com/video/ctLu7-eid8g/v-deo.html
The ending is just as cool as it gets. ua-cam.com/video/bRM2Gn9nU7Q/v-deo.html
By far one of the greatest and honestly the kindest and gentlest man you'll ever meet.
Tommy is a local guy in my town. He is very humble and a gentleman.
That would only make him that much cooler.
What town?
Hey fer girano what town do you live in
Tell him a random old school fan says "thanks for the stellar tunes"....plz
He's not that Young anymore but he could make it
Tommy's playing the drums like he's fighting off the barber.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@darkmaiden1776 Copy That
OUCH ,the laughter hurrtts.
Ha ha ha ha Haaaaa!!!
Best comment here.
@@johnbrown8740 Thanks
One of my favorite drummers. He is incredible! Such stamina!! 💜
He's really not that good & not mentioned among the best drummers in the world like Part,Bonham, Tommy Lee..Aldridge is a drummer nothing special nothing special about Whitesnake
@@GiaNt_TaLOn Its Peart. Tommy lee blows. Tommy is great just for the fact hes hitting just as hard at 70. And he hasnt killed himself on drugs or booze.
@@Dooguy Yea I know but that's why sed Tommy not like Jordison or Lombardo cause Aldridge isn't even as good as Tommy
@@GiaNt_TaLOn "Aldridge is a drummer nothing special nothing special about Whitesnake."
Well, color me convinced. Big brain TaLOn, who couldn't pass fourth-grade English comp, got my almonds activated.
@@GiaNt_TaLOnI saw Whitesnake/Motley Crue in 1987, at MSG. Aldridge is better. Hands down. I'm saying this as a fan of Tommy Lee. I think he's great, too. However, Aldridge is simply better.
He plays the instrument with his soul, not everyone knows what it's like to feel Rock'n Roll running through your veins!
I got a shirt like that. That is where the comparison ends.
Lmao. Good one.
Has a little band-aid on for
stick blisters.
My pinky is blistered from
my toaster oven.
LOL!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jurgen Cuypers - ok, you get funny comment of the day for me. Thanks 😃👍
He plays like it's the last time he ever will, every time..
Like Rafa....
FU....CKING....HELL!!! 🤟🏻
Only Tommy and Cozy Powell had the ability and the will to produce such a sound with extra balls in it.... These two guys were not just drummers, they were thunder maker!!!
Let's not forget about Bill Ward.
Hmmmm????
"Only"?
Lol, where do you guys come from?
He would do a far better job playing with Steve vai
Vinnie Paul
Ummmmm. Has anyone heard of John Bonham? He was the original power-hitter.
This is a man who loves his job.
I’ve loved Tommy Aldrich since the early 80’s playing with Ozzy’s band. The lineup on Speak Of the Devil was gnarly. What a huge impression that album made on a 8-9yo me, just starting to pick up the drums. He’s still a pleasure to watch as well as listen to.
I had that on cassette wore it out. A few years ago I looked for a download and could not find it. Ended up having to order it from England as it was not available in the US at that time.
Power drummer is an understatement. This man is always full on beast mode when he plays, and is a true legend!
68 years old playing with the energy of a 20 year old.
Makes some 20 year olds look bad!
He looked winded.
@@frankburdodrums8984 all that weed!
@@gilbertp.9851 You know it.
And no monster drink.
One of the VERY BEST drummers in the business....and has been for 35 years...at the age of 70.....he absolutely amazing
I saw him live for whitesnake in 2019, couldn't believe my eyes, insane drummer
I saw Tommy as Opening Act for Whitesnake in 1983, with Ozzy. Back then he was already quite, good, the Boy
Mr. Aldridge, if you're reading this, please know everyone on here applauds your effort and ever-lasting enthusiasm. God bless fellow drummer!!!
Right
He probably doesn't search youtube comments where people are praising him. But yeah, he's great and he hits like a blacksmith.
And you're the best mr. Aldridge keep playing You Know You're the Inspiration to millions of young viewers who wants to pick up you inspire younger generations to pick up some drumsticks and play harder and you make people realize if you want something that badly you have to work really hard at it and never give up you never give up on anything you're good person God bless you sir and may the good Lord bless you
Why would you say that about him and I'll give him my respects he's not like other drummers rock stars who get us into trouble with the law he stays out of it cuz he's smart he's not stupid like other rock stars like getting in trouble or he doesn't eat the s*** out of his wife he's smart enough to stay away from that and stay away from the booze and the drugs that's all stupid anyways in why would any Rockstar would do that Tommy Aldridge one of those guys who stay will he has enough smart and common sense to stay away from that
Bret Zayger_Michigan stupid ass comment from a first class idiot!
The Remo guys were praying through Tommy's entire performance, "please God don't let the drum heads break"!
😂😂😂 Facts tho.
Damn right they were. Tommy always has that intensity.
I was hoping the oak in those sticks was going to hold up. I saw pieces coming off his left one.
Tommy started out playing Evans heads, the Blue Hydraulic ones. I first saw him live, when he was on tour with Black Oak Arkansas. He played JUST LIKE THIS then, and that was in 1971. I never saw anybody play like that before. There's only ONE Tommy Aldridge.
Most bands would kill for a drummer with this much attack and control all wrapped up in a blanket of pocket power baby! The man’s a Legend!
No double bass drums....not a ton of rack toms and cymbals! The feeling is the same with just a 4 piece kit! That's the spirit! This guy is a legend!
That's rock drumming: no weak or extraneous beats; every stroke or cymbal strike delivered with intention.
yes, no gimmicky cymbals on toms, wallets on snares or 16 inch hi hats, just the right attitude and energy that the song calls for
SOLID!!!!
@@jtf9670 but 16" hihats are so cool ):
Rock guitar playing isn’t all that different either
@pork n beans 'Twas hit
Tommy is a master at controlled power. He plays with so much energy and strength, but with precision, and never goes off the rails. This is a really amazing skill in drumming.
What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? A drummer. This guy is a God of Drums.

Tommy is so fun to watch. A truly great rock drummer. There's nobody like him.
SO true, lol! I'm talking about both what you are saying and your time marks, lol!
I want the people who built that drum kit to build my house
It's those drum heads, they stand by their name
That remark gets a three thumbs up,hahahhahahahahahahaha.
I know right!
Yamaha doesn't make houses
@@AP02112 Yamaha makes kits outa brick. Good selling point 😉
Seriously is anyone surprised??? The man's a living legend!!!🍻
@John Wick A child can learn anything an adult does on any instrument.😂🍻
Ok. What have you written and performed for thousands of screaming fans...and how many records have you sold.
Uh Alex Van Halen & Dave Lombardo are far superior & that's just right of the top of my head
@@thomasweaver9399 Alex Van Halen, seriously? 🤔 One of the worst drummers ever😵!
@@guitarfanatic2000 ua-cam.com/video/7sJ6pFK5DOI/v-deo.html
It's ok.... it is 5pm somewhere.
All my drum teachers told me these things: use more wrists. less arms. Relax, don't be tense.
I guess this guy didn't have the same kind of teachers.... wow, no bounce, no wrists. Seems like a lot of energy could be spared here but man, he's landing everything neat and tight and powerful. Great performance.
Tommy never had a drum teacher. He's self taught. Using his whole body all the time not only keeps him at about 130 lbs, it's also very visual. I still prefer to watch Cozy though.
Tommy admits this during a Drumeo appearance that he doesnt understand why they would want him there. He never learned all the intricate aspects to drumming. He has just done HIS thing and it has worked for him. He has never claimed anything more. Humble dude for sure.
trumpet teachers, teach to never "bullfrog" your cheeks.....check out dizzy gilespie. do what works best for you
Intensity,attitude,conviction just equaled killer performance.
One of our generation's most underrated drummers. Never got the recognition he so rightly deserved.
I always thought he was regarded as one of the best?
Underrated 😂
@MTRoss87
Not just confuse but exasperate. Surely the most ubiquitous word found in UA-cam comments. EVERYTHING on UA-cam is "underrated". Don't believe me? Dig up the most random song or band that comes to mind, preferably from previous decades, and check how many comments you have to read before you see "underrated".
He blows guys like Tommy Lee and Rikki Rocket away so I have to go with under acknowledged. Rock on!!!
Tommy is NOT underrated or unappreciated. Your comment makes no sense.
on one hand, this man never ages. on the other hand, he's looked 80 for the entire 40 years i've listened to him, so as long as he still plays like he's 18, i'll still be banging my head to him. maybe even till he looks young for his age :-)
That face has some mileage, rockstar miles!
Legendary
One of my Favorite drummers since Pat Travers Band. In Seattle I saw him come off stage behind David Coverdale at the end of a show and Coverdale reached down and flung a fans 6 inch high heel shoe back out into the crowd without looking and nailed Tommy right in the face. Glad he didn’t lose an eye.
I could feel that percussion all the way up in northern Manitoba awesome tommy, been a fan for a long while.
One of THE greatest drummers in rock history...Tommy Aldridge!!!
Legend has it, that the drum kit is still in hiding, for fear of another beating from Tommy
Some people say the drum kit gets a beating daily. When will they learn??
Tommy is like Clubber Lang in Rocky III. "You ready for another beatin'?"
I'm 52 years old and I've never seen this guy not rock it out. Respect !
I've watched this video at leaat 100 times, and I never get tired of it!!🤘🏽🥁🤘🏽
this is where grannpa said..."hold my beer and let me show you how its done kid"
LOL
thats what Danny Carrey said .......
How he controlled the splash... everlasting
Lucky you its not hold my prick....
Hell Yeah!
Too All the dislikes, you wouldn't know a rock legend if they slapped you around the face.
This man is awesome. Long live Tommy Aldridge & the Music of Whitesnake
" Long live Tommy Aldridge & the Music of Whitesnake"
Yes but remember he didn't play on their albums....
@@johnbeckwith1361, yes he did, 1989 Album Slip of the tounge,
...and you're DFR (damn fuckin' right) Brò. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey Mark Essex, so what publication did you ever work for? Yeah that’s what we thought. It’s still ok not to clown thumbs up everything that so bozo puts on the heading! This isn’t stealing a show . Especially based on a SHORT clip. Wtf ! Come on man get real.
I know legends and they need to stay legendary just like I dont want to see Michael Jordan play pickup basketball cause hes fat and cant jump over a credit card
I remember listening to him back in the late 70's when he played for Pat Travers band and then I seen him live in 1981 when he was in Ozzy's band, Diary of a Madman tour in Norman Oklahoma. I was and still am blown away by his style and I'm 58 now so he must be about a 100 now and can still tear it up.
This guy does not get old.
Love Tommy A.
He’s been old.
He's been old since he was born
Powerful and hardcore. Old school rock drummer. Didn't miss a fill. I enjoyed seeing his raw emotions poured into it.
I swear, I saw the drum kit smoking a cigarette after this performance.
This comment deserves way more likes lmao!
Oh I love it wonderful !!!!!!
Hahaha, man, you are king!!! Smiling and laughing and can't stop!!!
I had to smoke a cigarette after this... 🙄 SHEESH!!!
Epic comment!
One of the hardest hitters of all time.
still a hard hitter after all these years.
He hits harder than any most death/thrash/black metal drummers out there. A Living Legend!
Yeah your going very far. 😂😂 Joey J, vinnie, Dave Lomb, bill ward.... he’s good but...
Well black metal drummers just trigger everything
They were brought up in a world of miced drums. I Tommy didn't have mics on his drums until he had been playing for years already. That's just the way live sound was for most venues back then. You had to beat the crap to get any sound past the stacks.
@Keith Jones Carmine is even more brutal than his brother
@@xSTONYTARKx Check Nick Barker, ex-COF and Dimmu Borgir. He's a mean machine, and super technical.
Now that’s how a rock drummer captivates a crowd!
Chad Young Tommy 10million times better than Zoltan
Check out Snowy Shaw as well!! Power, groove, technique. Just like mr Aldrige
The legend has it after many years , the drumkit is still in trauma and by hearing of the name Tommy Aldrige the drumkit gets in complete shock
Old school Power Drumming! Love this so much, he plays with intensity and with grace at the same time!
Holy smokes, that is some power. Young drummers take notice. This is rock drumming at its best.
@zappafan11 shes pretty good but better than them all?? You've never seen tony royster jr or thomas pridgen playing as children? Or in just about any blacl gospel church where the young prodigies are almost bred??
What are drums ?
Wow! Amazing!
zappafan11 fukk off.
zappafan11 who cares???
Tommy is a rock god. Met him in 2006. Such a humble and open guy. A true gentlemen and a rocker!
Met him as well... Badass
@sarah michel *Neil
every stupid comment. everywhere. ever. after few words exchanged with some musician... ooo my god he/she so nice blabla...
Met him too kissed me on the mouth, humble guy
That man is 73 years old!! And still plays the drums with power, strength, conviction, energy!! He’ll be 74 this year. The average 73 74 year old can’t even do this shit!! Tommy is definitely cut from a different cloth and they don’t make that cloth anymore
He's arguably the best drummer I've ever seen live !
Who you arguing with? Yourself?
ill argue you have seen much better
You haven't seen many drummers I see. And you're even arguing with yourself, lol.
I met him backstage with the 1986 Motley Crue / Whitesnake tour in Hampton Virginia. He was quite the gentleman and autographed my sticks. He was a blast to watch then and he still is today.
That’s very cool . I’ll bet you still got those sticks . Doesn’t tommy have his own model signature sticks? Like Vic firth or pro mark ? Thanks for sharing
Saw that tour. Whitesnake blew the Crue off the stage
One of the best rock drummers. His double bass skills are phenomenal. A true inspiration.
Double bass skills are essential for being Whitesnake's drummer, a number of their songs don't work right without them (according to David Coverdale)
Hell there are no drummers today....no one plays instruments!.. just dance 1/2 naked and make some kind of shitty noises
That dude is absolutely insane. Never gets his due.
He's such a badass! Power...time...feel...pocket for days...and so much more nuance than you'd expect. Killer player!
He Beat those drums like they owed him money 😂
One of the most underrated drummers on the scene, at 70 years of age! Still brings it with same intensity as a younger version of himself!
underrated??? are u serious???
@@pabloherrera9030 yes, I'm serious. No one talks about him a lot. Tommy is a beast!
Tommy is NOT underrated!
not underrated..get out from the rock your under.
@@PaulyV56 🤣 ok, bud.
I've always liked his drumming, bit a a legend for us who where young in the late 80's early 90's
I'll be lucky if I can still tie my shoes at 70.
Tommy, thank you for the inspiration, Whitesnake was one of the earliest exposures I had to rock as a kid, and your work made me pick up the sticks and take lessons.
You’ll be able to tie your shoes! 😹 You’ll also discover the leather loafer, where you slip into your shoes for maximum efficiency!
When they were handing out Talent and Hair Tommy got BLESSED...
and wrinkles
uhhh.. I don't think that hair is real. Tommy is great though. One of my first drum videos on VHS is his from the late 80's. Rock on Tommy A!
@@kevinbozman2572 why wouldn't it be real?
Kevin Bozman it’s real
@@kevinbozman2572 ...and you think that, why? He's ALWAYS had that huge cool-ass flailing head o' hair.
Unbelievable. First saw Tommy 47 years ago w Black Oak Arkansas at Winterland
Everything hes done since, all the touring, and hes still doing this. Mad respect
I go WAYYYY back 2 Mr Aldridge ya Pat Travers in you remember people 'Boom Boom 💥out go the lights' ! By far the Best Double Bass Drummer on the Planet....
Love this guy as he can play it all ...
Mad respect to the intensity and ferocity while maintaining such a high concentration level...another example of expertise drumming, a gift from God...thank you Tommy for your relenting dedication!!!
This is fantastic! Tommy would be 67 here but has so much energy and passion for his music. Nice to see him playing a 4-piece too!
He just destroyed that kit .. you can't keep your eyes off him....fuckin showman and a true powerhouse with great dynamics.....
This drummer always sits in awe of Tommy and his power... Especially for a man almost 69 years old... Awesome!
I've seen Tommy back in the day with Pat Travers (he actually played with a cast on his lower right leg) and Whitesnake. I've never seen a better rock drummer/performer, ever. his drum solos are legendary.
My first concert was Ozzy Osbourne in Memphis in April 1982.Tommy was the drummer and his solo still stands out as the best I have seen and heard.
I saw that too! This guy is pure muscle and beyond incredible!!
I'm nearly 51, started playing drums as a kid in the late 70s. One day I made a list of my favorite drummers. I realized they were all British....accept for Tommy. He's always been my favorite American drummer.
Watch him live is one of the greatest things ever!
Leonardo Noviello yes better than watching him dead
Still one of my favorite drummers of all time.
Fuck yeah!
The best
Saw him with whitesnake back in the late 80’s, I still remember his drum solo to this day, phenomenal, best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen most of them
Tommy Aldridge still got it. I always thought of him as one of the best Drummers. Definitely. 👍🎸
Tommy is a great drummer, and a really nice guy. He hits so hard, that when I was helping set up his kit, we had to wire the floor toms to the floor with bailing wire so they wouldn’t fly away. Definitely hits HARDER than anyone I’ve met, and yet gets great tone out out of the kit. Amazing. Told great Ozzy stories, too.
Soo cool..Thanks!👍
Joe Santa Maria, awesome story! Thanks for telling us that story.
Tommy was arrested right after the show for beating his drums to death. Drumicide.
😀😀😀😀
He's a heavy hitter for sure !
May his Kit rest in peace 🙏🥁
Murder by "blunt force trauma" to the head.
The drum head....lol.
@@mgmnfld3109 "🤛🥁🤛😉
This man is still rocking! Amazing stage presence! Rock on Tommy!!!
lots of rolls!!! Tommy is rollin like crazy!!!! he just proved that with those cymbals, single tom tom and FT you can make a kit still sound very FULL and full of excitement!!!
Only,Tommy could pull that off on a four peice kit. Such a legend!
Got the chills from this performance ! One time I met Tommy at LAX while we were both waiting for flights. He was just chilling there at the bar with his face / body to the passing people. I HAD to say "hello". He was just so relaxing to talk to and just an everyday chill person. He's this total BEAST on the drumkit but in our brief conversation, he was just the sweetest guy. This video captures PURE mastery of rock drumming. Soooooo good!!
Now thats the way its fucking done. Seen him with ozzy Blizard of oz Diary of madman tours. Im 56 years old now and ive been to many concerts . Hands down the 2 best live shows lve ever seen.. Rock on Tommy .
Ive been following Tommy for 40 years. Much, much respect...
I can honestly say this is THE VERY 1ST TIME I've ever seen him in a shirt and pants.... and I've been a fan for 30+ years..... \M/
I've seen and heard Tommy with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads, Pat Travers, and Whitesnake. Awesome every time
I haven't heard a rock drummer his age "bring it" like this. This is the way it should be...
Michael Fleetwood is still rockin...big dude and keeps playing while the others go on break lol
Peart... but even mighty Neil had to succumb to back problems, joint problems, et al. Nicko is still bringing it, though might be a little younger.
Watch Liberty DeVitto play.
@@DontLetTheOldManIn Nico is 67 and still killing it. At least when I seen him 2 weeks ago.
@@robertjablonski9830 I know! Saw them in July in Atlanta, amazing show. Wish it went longer. 16 tunes, felt like 20 minutes.. Was in the Pit, great place to see them. Nicko still has mad skills, super athletic dude.
Big Danke from Germany/ this makes me feel good/ music always does it. And awesome performance wow! Not many like that!
Glad you like it!
Tommy is one of my all time favorite drummers. Awesome!
I saw him waaaaayy back in thee day, 1970 something, when he was playing for Black Oak Arkansas and during his solo he ditched the sticks and just played with his hands. Took me three days to get my eyes back in my skull and my mouth to stay closed. Phenomenal player.
he still does that solo to this day!
I saw him do the hands solo in the lat 90's when he played for Ted Nugent. He is a legend
Saw him do the same thing with The Pat Travers Band in the early 80s.
InFUQINin credible!
I love it when someone that normally plays a huge set of drums is as awesome on a basic kit. Tommy is awesome!
Like Stage Customs too....typical backline kit I guess.
We can't imagine the places and ppl this man has seen...good for him..a lot of drummers f up a sure deal... Just keep the beat stay in shape and show up on time. A lot of drummers can't handle that when they're not the main show. Good for this guy sticking to it and living the dream
Wow talk about the bare necessities, Tommy Aldridge takes a little kit like that and just rocks the shit out of it. Just an absolute percussion animal !!! I've seen him with Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake and Bob Seger. The man is always poetry in motion.
