Alex criminally underrated, and has his own sound and style
Its wild that Alex was just as imaginative and mad scientist-like with his kits as Eddie was with his guitars.
Sick!
Fifty-one-Fifty !!! Come on Bro , let's get it together.... Al is still with us , and we're thankful for that. Along with Mike , Dave and Sammy.. And how could you forget The Wolf Man , WVH... It would be great to see Al back on stage , maybe doing something with WVH .. But I'm sure that being back behind a Kit on stage wouldn't have the same feel ... Because looking at the left side of the stage he wouldn't see his band mate and best friend.. He wouldn't see his Brother.. And with out Ed being present , there will never be another Van Halen ; the band.. R. I. P King Edward 🎸 We miss you.. And to AVH , we miss you as well and wish you all the best.. And always remember that there's a whole new breed of drummer's out here today because of you.. You have been a inspiration to so many of today's greatest drummer's.. Thank You. 🥁✌️
I swear Van Halen was an absolute unit back in the 80s.
You had a kickass frontman, legendary and vitruoso guitarist, a drummer who fucking slayed all the time.
And you had Michael Anthony.
This is the world we love in now. Are you kidding? This kid put this feature together on his own time on a subject that TONS of people will find fascinating. Myself at the top of the list. And Am Samoan needs to take a shot at this kid with how he pronounces 5150? Sheesh. I for one am EXTREMELY grateful for this production. I have loved Van Halen and Al since the early days. I used to work for a cat named Todd Trent who was Alex's Ludwig rep for eons. I got nothing but positive stories on Al and how he treated his crew. With that being said, he really was an incredible drummer and designer. These kits are just incredible. True artistry. So compelling and over the top. Just like VH. Once again a billion props to the cat who is 65 Drums. What a tremendous service you have done by compiling this dazzling and wonderful feature. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!! Five stars my friend.
AVH is a criminally underrated drummer; his orchestration, tasty licks and chemistry with Edward was insane!

Alex Van Halen, is a great, inspiring, influential, drummer and should be recognized, for one of the best drummers, of all time. 🥁
🎤🎸🎵🎹
Eddie always gets credit for being a mad scientist experimenting and building guitars. But Alex was just as much a pioneer building those wild drum kits
ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS EVER , HE IS SO UNDERRATED
Yeah he's great! And yet there are still some people are crap talking him in the comment section for some unknown reason.

Astoundingly underrated!
Couldn’t agree more! You know it’s him just listening. Very unique style
One of the greatest of all times
Alex has a distinctive sound for sure. You can tell it’s him without hearing anything else with him
Just like his brother..I agree
Carl Robinson - That's why "Alex Van Halen Snare" is a term that has such meaning. Everybody knows that snare sound. Plus, for me it's the way he likes to "ride" his crashes that sticks out as well.
Its the rimshot on a rosewood snare that gives him his own sound
@@christopherweise438 I saw somewhere that Alex used electronic drums in the studio from 1984 on so I’m guessing he sampled the rim shot with the rose wood? I’m not sure I’m just trying to learn what I can
@@carlrobinson4924 - He used acoustic kick drums and an acoustic wood shell snare. The toms were the only things that were Simmons electronic pads. He did the same exact thing with his live set up, but he "hid" the pads inside Ludwig tom shells so visually it looked like acoustic toms and floor toms.
The 2015 drum kit was the most beautiful kit I've ever seen.
Alex is a MONSTER! It use to piss me off as a drummer that he didn't limelight Eddie got as a monster....but we drummers knew. He was not only a banger, he would do amazing shit hidden in the songs! One was what he was playing doing Eddie's solo on "Jump". At the time I was like WTF?! The timing was odd, yet IN time!😳 EVERYONE knew "Hot For Teacher" was unreal! The timing he played on the double bass drums...while doing this amazing pattern on the ride cymbal....just wow.
Yes i agree there was an interesting beat in there. In not a drummer so i don't know the lingo but i can detect certain things
Light up the Sky - VH2 . Plus, apparently he still practices daily...even after all these years and all of the fame.
I agree he’s great but drums are primarily accompaniment instruments in most cases.
I was just takling to friend about how sneakily good he is, odd time, weird beats, great hi hats and always on time, great drummer!
Alex got a free ride on Eddie's guitar playing
Alex's sound was unmistakable. He and Bonham were my drum gods growing up, and I'm really thankful I discovered them really early in life.
As a guitarist I must say that most of this just went right over my head
I think for all of us 80s teenagers the footage from the Oakland concert will always be the memories we have in our heads when we think of what VH looked and sounded like
There's something about that smoke filled concert footage with very little lighting (compared to today's over the top standards) and the VH logo with the gong half circle on fire under it will always be nostalgic VH !!!
Especially if you were there!
My favorite rock drummer. Everything he does serves the music. Chops, ferocity, supremely musical. Gets his stuff in without making a drum solo out of everything, but when it's time becomes a freight train.
Alex Van Halen.
Definitely on my top 10 list of favorite drummers.
One of the most under rated drummers in rock n roll history!
underrated? are you joking? no drummer thinks that.
I can appreciate his liking for the Paiste 2002's as I have some in my arsenal. Actually I mix the cymbals in my set with different brands to have color, but I do like the 2002 and have an eye out for the Rev Alex 24 ride, just as soon as I wish to break the bank for 400+.
@@youtubeshadowbannedmylasta2629 However, to the Under Possible Educated in Drums 'They' Might Think That of Alex's Drumming ? It Was and Always Has Been One of the Most Unique Sounds Ever Made By a Drummer !
N~
Underrated...no. Underappreciated...yes.
Drumming in a neck brace...nothing could stop this guy!
He’s the only drummer I can think of that the second you hear him, you know it’s Van Halen
most underrated drummer of all time
no he's not, stupid comment...
I've been a lifelong Van Halen fan and I never knew that Alex's drums were so wild! In my defense, I'm a guitarist and coming up, I didn't have the internet or access to videos etc. so that was just something that I never thought about. That's not to say, that I wasn't into drumming...I was a huge Rush fan in HS (20+ yrs ago) and would seek out Rush videos and knew a bit about Neil's drum sets (and his own brand of excessively tasty drum set arrangements).
I always overlooked most drummers and bass players, though, because I was so fixated on playing fast and trying to play like Eddie or Jimi. One thing is for certain, I never critiqued Alex's drumming because it was always "On Point" and fit so well, that I never really thought, twice, about it.
Alex Van Halen was a major influence on myself as a drummer during my formative years. I am a professional drummer now and he had a part in that. I know he will likely never see this, but Mr. Alex, you were and are incredible. I cannot thank you enough for the impact you had on me. All the best to you.
Ditto. I spent endless hours in my bed room with my headphones and drum kit practicing my VH albums back in the 70's. If ya wanna learn powerhouse drumming, Alex is a great choice.
I think Alex van Halen was not only a good drummer but he was a good inventor in drums

RIP EDDIE,YOU WERE THE VERY BEST!!
14:40 - I remember seeing this little clip on Entertainment Tonight and being blown away. Great to see it again.
All his kits were gorgeous
I lucked out and saw Alex’s set at the R&R HOF… walked in & immediately noticed it on the lower level… It resembled something that traveled to the moon! Huge set up with 2 bass drums elongated with a flexible conduit… super impressive! I felt like a kid - amazed to be in the presence of the Master’s machine. 🤘🏻
Alex Van Halen is a major influence on my style and play. Thank you Van Halen for the all the years of music. Eddie will be missed.
Alex is a monster drummer ,just listen to his isolated drum track on mean street
Alex Van Halen is my absolute favorite Drummer. When I close my eyes and listen to drums hes the sound I want to hear
The Diver Down drums with the tubing. Looks like a pipe organ with the different height pipes. Incredibly creative!
The drum sound on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is my favorite. I wish I knew how he got those toms and bass drums to sing like that.
His ride cymbal on Balance is incredible.
It's hard to beat Paiste 2oo2 cymbals
I love his fills in Right Now. Explosive!!!
Andy Johns gave him that awesome sound
Kick drum on poundcake is actually a green Gretsch maple drum (see my complete comment above)
This is amazing coverage on AVH
Great job 👍
One of the best snare drum sounds ever!
That`s right, I love this "POFF" too! One stroke and you know who`s playing.
AVH makes music on those drums. Bombastic yet sweet. One of the most underrated drummers of the past half century.
I completely agree.
Yo little man, I'm just a old white drummer who knows talent when I hear it, and Bruh, you nailed it, through all your complex time signatures , groove changes, and did it all without breaking A sweat!! You are very talented and you will go far, so from a old metal drummer it was a pleasure watching you work!!
Thanks Alex for your influence, I remember when Hot For Teacher came out and I couldn't wait to talk to my drum director who was setting me up with different drum sets, I was playing with the band out of Easton Pennsylvania and we went down to the playpen South in fort Lauderdale and played there for 2 weeks and I brought the new drum set with me and it was the first time that I played Hot for teacher with the four kick drums because of your influence and doing that song in car nival number 9 from Emerson lake and Palmer I Rocked that joint with a drum solo
Alex and Eddie are the soundtrack of my youth.
Love all versions of =VH=. 🤘🏻
I love all of Alex Van Halens drum kits. My favorite, is " Fair Warning Tour" 1981, Black and White striped. Also, 2015, kit was killer too!. I met Alex in 1991, really sweet guy.
As a drummer listening to Alex, his parts on 1984 are so well written and played and he had such control it is mind blowing!
Fair warning was the most versatile and best album production wise. The drums have a different sound on every song, each one was unique and suited the song perfectly..It's also my favorite VH album..
May 12 1981 VH kicked off the FAIRWARNING Tour in my home town Halifax high school memories ..
Yes good assessment bro❤️
I totally agree. It's my favorite VH album. Best guitar and vocals too.
Fair Warning is My favorite then 1 then 2 then WACF 1984 then Diver Down then ADKOT the only Van Haggar songs that are good Summer Nights Poundcake Best of Both Worlds black and Blue…
@@ugaais pretty good assessment I'm with u except 1984 is weak
Alex Van Halen is legendary... thanks for producing this video about him. Sometimes it takes someone 'outside' to break new ground and start a brand new sound. Both Van Halens are very gifted musicians.
1985 I got a Ludwig Classic, Pearl White with black bass rims. I added a second bass and floor Tom. 7 piece with 4 crash, 1 ride. I added black electrical tape to the shells to mimic Alex's kit. I wanted Paiste 2002s so bad!
Thanks for showing me the different incarnations of my favourite Drummers kits , so grateful
One of the most underrated drummers and one of the best of all time!
Awesome Video Brother 👍🏻👍🏻
Alex Van Halen is 💯 the reason I started playing drums in 1987 🙏🏻
I am hoping (if not downright expecting) to see and hear a very special music collaboration of Alex and Wolfgang VH playing together sooner vs later. Hunch has it (for me, anyway...) Alex will play on one or two tracks of the next Mammoth album. Word! Bring it, VH - the world needs to see and hear it. Eddie will be listening and watching from VH spiritual side of family love. Please share the love with your fans. We'll love you even more for it. God Bless the VH family forever.
Alex and Eddie Van Halen were my inspirations to just give up trying to be a musician.
One of the most underated drummers ever
Great documentary of the evolution of Alex's drum sets plus band life. Enjoyed, Thanks!
As a young kid and a self taught drummer Alex was a huge inspiration for me ... and still is... great video Justin thank you.
No stick twirls No flashy rollercoaster drums The drummer playing for the best guitar player ever Just solid hard hitting drum play He is a Legend
Love the VH brothers. So much talent. RIP Edward.
I have been a Van Halen Fan since the beginning .
The drum sound on 1984 is among my favorite ever. AVH is rather underrated when looking at top lists of the best or most influential drummers.
I think he's one of the best ever, very unique sound
You know that Ludwig sound! I don't know every Van Halen song but as soon as I hear those drums, I know it's Alex!
The Simmons SDSV still after 40 years the king of analog electronic drums.
Yeah, 1984 was that new drum sound and live it was just as good:
ua-cam.com/video/CaPlKTFnXz4/v-deo.html
Those lists are made by other drummers. How can you be underrated by others who play the same instrument? If anyone is capable of rating your abilities, it is others who are similar talented.
Some of our narrator’s comments are a little off & don’t make a lot of sense, from the perspective of a seasoned (mature) drummer who has both witnessed firsthand the many drum sets of AVH (in real time) and been a working drummer for nearly as many years…. I had to pause and comment when he called the hi hat placement ’odd’ in reference to an overhead pic of Al’s set. When in truth, fact, reality, Al was employing a very standard and common clamp that attaches the hi-hat stand to the left kick drum to place it in a more natural playing position!✌🏼🇺🇸👍🏼 Cheers! VH Rocks!
The snare sound!!!!
Excellent Video, great memories, Alex always my no 1 Drummer
Alex was the biggest inspiration in my drumming "career." One of the most underrated drummers in the business, but I think he doesn't mind that. Thank you for this video! I'm now a subscriber and look forward to seeing more content from you. Cheers!
I am a huge RUSH fan so obviously I love Neil Peart's drumming. But that said I am not one of these rush fans that say Neil is the greatest the greatest and everyone else sucks. Believe me they're out there. What I don't understand is whenever you see the world top drummer surveys Alex Alex is most times not even mentioned. I never understood this because that guy can really play. He's freaking deadly on the drums
Love this!!! Van Halen is one of my favorite bands of all time. Alex was my idol growing up trying to play like him. Awesome video.
Thats cool that EVH's kid Wolfgang took Van Halens previous name "mammoth" for his own band
Alex Van Halen = pure legend and one of the greatest drummers ever
Great Job!
Loved following Alex's drumming and drumsets through the years. Also, FWIW, Fair Warning was a game-changer for me...the best VH album of them all.
Alex one of the best...gonna miss him.
Alex VanHalen was & is one of my biggest influences of all time!!
He was kind of like Bonham in his big drums/big sound...maybe Cozy Powell as well.
VH3 is my favorite Van Halen album and the only one where I don't skip any songs.
One of my favorite drummers ,one of my Top 5..I helped his tech set up his drums on the Montrose Journey Tour,in the late 70s.I had no idea who he was then..He had 4 bass drums connected..I later met him at his Hidden Hills Ranch.I worked 4 the people who invented Rockstar at that time..He was cool ,he gave me $5..
Fair Warning is pretty much my favorite VH album and saw them on that tour, and they were fantastic. I always got a kick out of seeing those crazy looking, outrageous drum kits. Alex was a great drummer and perhaps a bit underrated. VH was an amazing group and were a key part of good memories from the late 70s & 80s.
As a teen I was lucky enough to see pretty much every tour from Women & Children First onward. Nice job summarizing all those kits as it was one of those variables that went from tour to tour. In Philly on the Monsters of Rock (OU812) he started playing part of that monster configuration that wasn’t going through the PA at the time and he just gave a goofy look to his off stage tech and switched back to one that was audible. The VH3 tour was really cool as they pulled out songs they didn’t play in a while. Mike sang Somebody Get Me A Doctor and they took turns singing Why Can’t This Be Love. Yup, I’ve seen my share of shows. I even lived in Mill Valley where Sammy lives plus San Rafael where his rehearsal studio is. I’ve met Sam many times and he was cool as hell every meeting. Thanks for this video! It made me feel like a teen again.
Awesome. The VHIII era is actually my favorite.
Thank you for this video. I absolutely love Alex.
5 1 5 0... Come on man. Sammy only yelled out "Fifty One Fifty" at least ten times every show they did on that tour...
If you notice, most of Alex's early Van Halen kits were very similar to Bill Ward's kits he used in Black Sabbath.
Check out Bill Ward's drums between 1974-1979 and you can see where Alex got some of his kit ideas from.
Rob - Absolutely! Too similar to not have been an influence!
Didn't know that, thanks!
his club days kits were really close to carmine appice who was a huge influence on him. ward was definitely an influence but carmine inspired alex’s double bass drum shuffle
Yes! They toured together so no doubt he got a lot of ideas.
Greatest drummer in the world ! Love the band !
There aren’t many drummers who are so instantly identifiable.
One of the many that comes to mind is the intro on Everybody wants some
Everyone of the drum kits Alex ever used are beautiful, Ludwig has amazing kits
L' un de mes batteurs préférés . Extraordinaire Mr Alex Van Halen
Wow dude. Amazing edits. Please make more like this. Incredible work
If he had played with anyone else,he would have gotten more recognition.Hes an Icon.A absolute beast behind the kit&as with all great drummers,he has his indentity &sound.As soon as you here him play,you know it's AVH.When your brother is a guitar god,you have to take a bit of a back seat.So underrated & underappreciated.I have a brother, I couldn't imagine how heart broken he is
This was fascinating!
All of the VH concerts were AWESOME live! There was nothing like it!
Great video! I actually took those photos of inside the kicks of the white kit, as well as a bunch of other pictures of features of that kit. I snapped as much as I could before security yelled at me for getting too close lol.
I am sad to think how much Alex misses Eddie. They were obviously very very close...and I hope Alex is doing ok! 💝
Seriously underrated drummer and seems like a great guy too!
We love Al.!! He's hilarious. Van Halen forever!!!
10/10 we need lots more like this
I thought I was being weird having three 20" 2002 crashes on my kit among my setup. Alex used up to six 20" 2002 crashes at a time!! Legend.
Thanks Van Halen Brothers you been around for most of my life good good music
Had a few beers with Alex in the early 2000's. Didn't recognize him at first. I bought a few = this guy puts down a pint in 1 second. I was an old drummer and they had just played. Wow were these guys Van Halen.
I saw them on their first tour with Sammy in like 86, F'n LOUD MAN! What? Alex did a long drum solo. But I was never a huge fan of the Sammy era, so I finally got to see them with Dave in 2012, great show, but a much much shorter drum solo, but still just as impressive. Perception vs Reality: In 2012 I was on the floor but way off, the pics I took on my phone make it look like I had great seats, but that's the jumbo screen behind the band, the actual band in the shots are those little dots that can be seen at very the bottom.
In the 80’s they had BIG drum kits
That fire extinguisher made it all possible
Absolutely
Fantastic documentary on Alex's drum sets. Really well-done! Dude was a fucking monster. I saw VH at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh in 1981, maybe 82. The floor was a jammed packed sea of people, fully in wild flux. Puuuuussshhing. It was all you could do to keep your feet under you while being carried by the press of sweaty people, with no way to stop it. It must have been 100 degrees in there.... I didn't care, I was THE MOST FIRED UP 18-year-old, at a VAN HALEN SHOW ---- Bring it on!!! DLR was doing summersaults on stage while singing, without missing a beat. It was truly mind blowing!!
Awesome video Justin as always!! Great retrospective!
I'm glad I got to see them.
one of the best drum with Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams... Thanks to be present all my life long...
Great video Justin! I really dug it.
Great work - I had no idea he was that into the electronics on his kit. I'd say his sound on Hot for Teacher is definitely one of GOATs of drum sounds.
Yea, check out his drum solo from their 1986 live without a net concert. They got some awesome close up shots of him and his kit during his solo and you can see his drum set is practically an electronic simmons drum set hidden behind octobons and the only acoustic part of his set are his bass drums. When he does his trademark fast drum roll, its always done on an electronic drum pad. During the live without a net solo, the camera man puts the camera right on Alex during that part and you can see him doing it on his electronic drum pad. Imo Alex, Neil Peart, and Frank Beard from ZZ Top were some of the top drummers to popularize electronic drums.
Couldn't yo notice the way the drums sound ? Totally electronic sound
@@eldiablo3794 very interesting, I will check it out. Don't sleep on Danny Carey, he has a whole arsenal of Mandalas & Wave drums that he uses for all kinds of sounds/ triggers.
@@DesignRhythm Danny Carey had to incorporate electronic drum sounds while playing with King Crimson because of Bill Burford who used electronic drums on their early 80's recordings.
@@DesignRhythm def not sleepin on Danny. I am a fan of how he plays drums on songs with the snare turned off. Hes another one who utilizes electronic drums and triggering and one of my favorite drummers! With all the advancements in electronic drums, like you said he still uses his old synesthesia mandala from the 90s lol.
Also another great very underrated drummer I'd love to see a feature on is the late and truly great MUNTAKKA HIMOGUCCHI from LOUDNESS
He was also a HUGE fan of Ghost pedals in the early years, right up to 5150, I believe.
