Great drummers, like Colaiuta, Gadd, Emory, Weckl etc., did their thing. After Tommy did his performance, some smart*** in the audience yelled: But, can you do that with ONE bass drum?... Being the gentleman Tommy is, he politely replied: - I could try? Then, he just smashed the same sh*t to piece, and totally owned it with...ONE bass drum. What a legend! - Thank you, Tommy.

    The beat is rather simple but he puts so much heart into it. Thats the secret.

    One of the best rock drummers ever.
    So much passion n power in his playing. And he comes across so modestly. Rock on Tommy!

    Tommy's influence can't be overstated- listen to Snortin' Whiskey and the drum sound on that sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. Vinnie Paul in particular loved Tommy, you can hear it in his snappy triplets and insane grooviness

    Tommy was a influential force in my early high school drumming. And after seeing this, he still is! Damn!!!

    I recommend that Live In The Still of the Night London 2004 gig that's shown throughout here. One of the best live concerts this millennium. I have the DVD. It's phenomenal. I promise you.

    He's a joy to watch. The precision AND power. And a reminder. If you are playing Rock, it's important to HIT HARD.

    A fantastic drummer. How he is still doing it physically, i've no idea. His playing with Gillis and Sarzo on Ozzys Talk of the Devil is just outstanding.

    Tommy is one of the best and greatest guys around. I have his 1987 Yamaha hot red recording custom set from his white snake tour. I’m a very lucky guy to own this piece of historical memorabilia. He is a down to earth guy with such an amazing back ground down to earth guy. I have so much in common with him personally. His heart and history is bigger than his playing all together. The best drummer I have ever heard. Thank you for posting this

    I had to look up his age….72 by the way. I find it awesome he still has that snap in his wrists and hits the drums hard. A lot of drummers as they age lose that. He still drums like a young man, good on ya mate!

    These aging musicians are a real inspiration for living! Sure you can look at these grannies who are still doing crossift, but the way Tommy is hitting those skins, from above it looks like a young buck that still lives for the metal n' the music like a 20 yr old! 🤘
