What a moment right at 3:54! You can feel the energy of their live shows. 👨🏼🎤👏 Thanks for watching and don’t forget to check out drum-less versions of this song (and 5000+ more) with the all-NEW Drumeo: www.Drumeo.com/new-year/ 💪
I just began drumming for my Church and your channel haZ been so much help! The drummerZ that you get to perform and give lessons are in the top echelon!!! I really appreciate the Tommy Aldridge videos! You're all awesome 👍🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁
Those are Phoenix.. these drums are pretty ridiculous, the kick drum will literally make the room shake the resonance after you hit it is unbelievable, its almost too much
I saw Tommy playing the Drums for Ozzy in February of 1982,on The Diary of A Madman Tour,with Great Bassist Rudy Sarzo,and One of The Greatest Rock Guitarist of All Time,The Great Randy Rhoads,Exactly 6 weeks before His Tragic Death!,It was an Incredible Show,Tommy hasn't lost anything!,He's still beating the Skins as Good as He did 40 Years ago!!!!Keep Rocking On Brother!!!!
Another Tommy Aldrige video?!? You spoil us. This dude is a monster drummer and the sweetest man. I hope he reads these comments and sees how much we appreciate him!
What I love about this dude is that in his mind and heart time hasn't passed at all. When he picks the sticks, it's the good old days all over again, you can see it in his eyes. He's playing with Dave and his buddies, having the time of his life.
“Stayin’ outta the way of the music” “just hang out in it”. What a genuinely incredible take on relatively simple drumming. That has honestly completely changed my perspective.
Ok. Just gonna leave this here. The AUDIO ENGINEER is an absolute master! Sounds so very clean and punchy! Worth every single penny! Keep up the stellar work!
The great TA. Playing eyes closed to memory. He’s a total phenomenon. An extremely heavy hitter that beats the living hell out of his kit. Love him to bits. 🤘
What a superb drummer, but what a superb performance. Some on here call Tommy a 'Beast', but I see a musician. This was powerful and heavy, full of showmanship, but so, so musical! Go Tommy, Go!
From his days with Black Oak Arkansas, early-mid 70s, up to right now (2023) Tommy is still at a level most drummers will never achieve. Saw BOA several times and White Snake in 2018 and he's not lost a beat. Met the guy a few times and he is just as coo and humble as you see in the videos. Long live Tommy Aldridge!!!
If I get to Tommy's age and have his energy to walk down the road, I will regard myself as doing well - amazing to see how much energy he puts into his performances even now
The older the drummer, the more excited I am!!! Yes please tell us a story and show us what you did. A blessing to still have you here on earth. Thank you Mr. Aldridge!!!!🥁💗
I feel silly sometimes watching these videos because I get those blown away happy emotional tears then laugh at myself. Just imagining the sensation these amazing drummer's must feel faced with a crowd like this. Tommy is an absolute monster behind the kit, and seems such a humble down to earth human. The world may be turning to custard at times, but to have beautiful humans in the world like this is a wonderful thing.
I'm old enough to remember seeing Tommy Aldridge on his first tour with Black Oak Arkansas in the 70's. I was into drums then and don't remember taking my eyes off him. I was amazed by him then and I'm amazed by him now. And a super great guy to top it off.
Ridiculous how clean and smooth he can be while playing with that much POWER! ❤ he beats the HELL out of his kit. That fill towards the end?...psht. Good dude, too.
80s power ballad drumming is simple but requires so much pocket. Go too fast and you throw off the feel. Go too slow and your band looks back at you like you're an idiot. Tommy makes it look effortless!
The energy, power and passion by which he plays is legendary. What an amazing contributor to rock music and those who love drumming. I have the highest respect for you Tommy Aldridge, thank you so much for being you. You are loved my friend.
One thing I love about music is to see all these "old guys" that are STILL sharper than a pin, active and playing great and as keen as a 20yo ...Absolute credit to these people! A+++
That cymbal choke before the first verse (4:10) is just brilliance, imho. Nothing fancy, but it absolutely elevates that part of the song live without getting in the way. I'd love to come up with drum parts like this!
Always loved Tommy. Huge inspiration for me in my youth in the 1980s. I love how he naturally often plays his hi hat foot on the "ands"... A groove is all about where the "ands" are felt. His solo on the Ozzy/Randy Tribute changed my life and I would bum rides to wherever I had to go to see Whitesnake back when this album came out to watch Tommy play. He always played a very similar solo and I loved every second of it.
Aldridge rules, his style of playing is so unique and special, and on top of his technical skills and high precision he is got a huge musicality/groove... Living legend.
Tommy is a legend. I got to see Tommy play live with Ozzy in the early 80's and he's still going strong! One of the original double bass drum masters, he's a beast. Great guy, great drummer!
I WILL NEVER forget the moment I SAW Tommy Aldridge soloing on a Whitesnake show here in Rio in 2012!!!! Tommy always was my favorite drummer and when I SAW him playing... IT BLEW MY MIND!!!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT!!!!!!
A humble man with an intact passion for the instrument, each blow is placed with the precision of a surgeon, it is fantastic to see and hear the energy that he displays, which makes his dedication total. A drum master. It's good to see him again in Drumeo and it would be great if he would present Still of the night. Thanks for this stuff.
I absolutely love watching an artist that has been around for a long time that can still rock it out as well as they did from the start of their careers, if not better!
I live and breathe this song. Every time I hear this on the radio, I fire off a text to the DJ who's giving it a spin and thank him. It doesn't matter where you are, or what you're doing, when this song get's played, man, you just lean into it. Greatest song, ever.
I just love and highly respect your musicianship, Tommy! I remember going to (while I was studying at P.I.T., M.I.) some Yamaha drum show back in 1988 , at the UCLA. 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. Love & Respect/ Pete The Swede
This is the first interview, behind the scenes for the drummer of Whitesnake I have seen. Tommy mate, what an awesome guy you are! Not only do you rock those drums, like the best of them, but your age has only made you even better. What a legend, keep it up dude!
I remember seeing Tommy play for Thin Lizzy supporting Deep Purple when I was around 12/13 years old - I absolutely loved the helicopter thing he does! One of the best live Rock drummers you will ever see and he's definitely still got it!
Tommy is incredible! What I love his how he exemplifies true class and is so humble, always giving credit to the other musicians. He’s just happy to be there playing some drums!!!
Saw Tommy on the Whitesnake/deep purple tribute tour. He vindicates my drumming. I was told that I hit too hard. I watched Tommy unleash on the drums with confidence and unabated power. It was the highlight of the concert! Pure rock drumming at it's best.
Every time I've watched him play, from the first time in the early 80s through today - his power and emphasis to every note hasn't let up one measure. Truly, all style and things aside, his ability to drive every project he's on is second to none. Thanks for another video, Drumeo and Brandon! Bless you guys.
Tommy is a true drum hero. He plays exactly what a good song needs. Not too much and not too little and responds perfectly to vocals and the other instruments. Love his drumming
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
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.
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!
Man! Wow do I love.. 1. T.A. the man-the legend-a true gentleman-Rock KIng. 2. How Drumeo takes the time/ and $ to set up every detail so someone like me can experience the insight, explanation, the thunder... Just unbelievable - thank you Drumeo and T.A.! Peace always
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! 🤘
Mr. Aldridge, Do you have any idea or comprehension of the joy you have brought to the millions of us rock fans over the decades?! Thank you will never be enough!
What a moment right at 3:54! You can feel the energy of their live shows. 👨🏼🎤👏
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to check out drum-less versions of this song (and 5000+ more) with the all-NEW Drumeo: www.Drumeo.com/new-year/ 💪
One question guys at drumeo....Phoenix series yamaha???? Fantastic sound
I just began drumming for my Church and your channel haZ been so much help! The drummerZ that you get to perform and give lessons are in the top echelon!!! I really appreciate the Tommy Aldridge videos! You're all awesome 👍🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁
🤗🔥🥁🔥🤗
lol. overrated mainstream crap.
Those are Phoenix.. these drums are pretty ridiculous, the kick drum will literally make the room shake the resonance after you hit it is unbelievable, its almost too much
This guy is 72 years old and plays the drums like he's in a bar fight. The man is incredible🤘
I hate to get in way of those drumsticks , headknockers for sure
Tommy is one of MY biggest influences! ♥️
I saw Tommy playing the Drums for Ozzy in February of 1982,on The Diary of A Madman Tour,with Great Bassist Rudy Sarzo,and One of The Greatest Rock Guitarist of All Time,The Great Randy Rhoads,Exactly 6 weeks before His Tragic Death!,It was an Incredible Show,Tommy hasn't lost anything!,He's still beating the Skins as Good as He did 40 Years ago!!!!Keep Rocking On Brother!!!!
Such a modest and humble guy too.
Quê comentário maravilho!!!
Dude still hits harder than 90% of drummers out there. Straight up legend.
Or just very distinct on every move he makes with a LOT of feeling and musicality. Hitting hard is not by default a good or great drummer
He plays with so much passion and power. Loved it!
And the left hand counting when he swings it over his head… epic drum hero. Power is his thing! So awesome
totally agree 👌👍👍👍
He plays like if he has 17..
He’s still killing it at 72! One of my favorite drummers 😊
72 with a power 27 haha
🐶wantsome🐱😇
Another Tommy Aldrige video?!? You spoil us. This dude is a monster drummer and the sweetest man. I hope he reads these comments and sees how much we appreciate him!
Soundtrack to my youth ..and adulthood! Cool to see how humble he is. Imspiring to say the least!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Lots more where this came from 👊🏻
Wasnt Tommy the drummer for Ozzy on the tribute album? Loved that solo growing up. Still do.
HE'S TOO BUSY
The most underrated drummer in Rock history. This guy is a killer.
To say the LEAST!
I seen whitesnake in 90 with Tommy Aldridge he was awesome . One of my favorite drummers
I didn't have him on my radar but wow, he is AMAZING
How in the fuckin world a beast and a class drummer like Tommy is UNDERRATED, dude? Underrated by who???? He has been always TOP.
@@Elric83 Underrated by the 13 year old that just discovered Tommy fucking Aldridge exists 😆
Jesus! I'm not a drummer... but, it's like every hit is going to be his last!!! Complete commitment! Rock on, Tommy!
What I love about this dude is that in his mind and heart time hasn't passed at all. When he picks the sticks, it's the good old days all over again, you can see it in his eyes. He's playing with Dave and his buddies, having the time of his life.
“Stayin’ outta the way of the music” “just hang out in it”.
What a genuinely incredible take on relatively simple drumming. That has honestly completely changed my perspective.
Yup stay in the pocket and wait your turn! Tommy is the coolest
gotta be fun for the players or it won't be fun for the audience :)
This was my take too. Stay out of the way and let the music take care of itself. What a superb philosophy.
This is what made Ringo and Watts great.
@@Meme-zc4cw Watts was less simple than Ringo. People seem to think they had the same "simple" style.
this is one of the last absolute drum monsters of the golden era! long live to this absolute legend! love you Tommy!
🙁
#takerthebootypiratecaribein
There aren't many guys who can be regarded as true drum legends, but Tommy is certainly one of them.
Look at this man. See his passion and love for music. The personification of Rock n Roll right here. Wonderful stuff.
You can tell that Tommy just loves this music. So much intensity and drive. Very inspiring.
A drummer who respects the singer and doesn't smother the overall sound. Bonzo was also like this in Zep and when needed all hell would break loose
With his passion and seriousness, he's just like Sugarfoot from MJ's band. He was exciting where he needed to be, but served the overall song.
We are down to "zep" now. 😅
Ok. Just gonna leave this here. The AUDIO ENGINEER is an absolute master! Sounds so very clean and punchy! Worth every single penny! Keep up the stellar work!
Precisely..i wish I knew the yamaha series they were
I agree, this sounds sooooooooooo good.
@@roberttaylor1275 it's the newer PHX series. Pretty much no audio engineer required. Each drum is hybrid shell.
I'm sitting here listening with studio headphones...it just sounds incredible!
@@Abyrne777and still need mic and engineer, it’s hybrid wood not hybrid acoustic electro
This guy is an absolute monster and I totally adore his energy at this age!
Dude is truly a performer. You can see it in every movement he makes!
The great TA. Playing eyes closed to memory. He’s a total phenomenon. An extremely heavy hitter that beats the living hell out of his kit. Love him to bits. 🤘
What a superb drummer, but what a superb performance. Some on here call Tommy a 'Beast', but I see a musician. This was powerful and heavy, full of showmanship, but so, so musical! Go Tommy, Go!
72 años tiene este señor!! Es un crack!!! El rock es juventud eterna
72 años de patear tr@seros😂...y cumple el 15 de agosto al igual que yo!!!!
Y pensar que un futbolista es viejo con 35?
Y toca como si estuviera ahí en vivo ante miles de personas, que admirable
Alguien sabe porque pasa su mano izquierda sobre su cabeza?
Tommy Aldridge is the definition of true rock drumming master. He is so good
Absolutely amazing Aldridge :)
The world deserves to see a little more of Tommy Aldridge's amazing work, do it while there's still time!!!
curte Whitesnake e é Mengão, ai sim!
The original drummer to this song is Aynsley Dunbar who is also awesome. Also plays on Still of the Night, and Jefferson Starship- Jane.
The epitome of a completely humble, total badass. Mr. Tommy Aldridge!🤘
Just absolutely brilliant drummer! I’m 51 and have been mesmerized by Mr. Aldrige since Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon. What a superb drummer you are Sir!
From his days with Black Oak Arkansas, early-mid 70s, up to right now (2023) Tommy is still at a level most drummers will never achieve. Saw BOA several times and White Snake in 2018 and he's not lost a beat. Met the guy a few times and he is just as coo and humble as you see in the videos. Long live Tommy Aldridge!!!
Wow, what a performance! He was living in that as if he was playing it in a stadium to thousands of people.Got to respect that energy...
One of the greatest rock drummers in history....no question.
If I get to Tommy's age and have his energy to walk down the road, I will regard myself as doing well - amazing to see how much energy he puts into his performances even now
One of the most iconic old school rock Drummers.... Keep up the power and passion for many more years Tommy
The older the drummer, the more excited I am!!! Yes please tell us a story and show us what you did. A blessing to still have you here on earth. Thank you Mr. Aldridge!!!!🥁💗

The world may be turning to custard at times, but to have beautiful humans in the world like this is a wonderful thing.
I think you can see that in his face during the intro and coming into the groove, he looks like he's reliving those moments..
Respect his drumming and musicianship so much
I'm old enough to remember seeing Tommy Aldridge on his first tour with Black Oak Arkansas in the 70's.
I was into drums then and don't remember taking my eyes off him. I was amazed by him then and I'm amazed by him now.

Shutup jon
Sounds smart
As a bassist myself, Tommy is my all-time favorite drummer!
He is the originator of the powerful, staccato drum style!
The energy, power and passion by which he plays is legendary. What an amazing contributor to rock music and those who love drumming. I have the highest respect for you Tommy Aldridge, thank you so much for being you. You are loved my friend.
What life experiences this man has had!!!! Being the drummer behind some of the most iconic groups and songs!!!!

He's brilliant and has great timing and an ear for dynamics!
I wish I had done that all the times I was in a band that covered it. Brilliant!
He didn’t come up with it. Aynsley Dunbar recorded it
@@chrissmith3668 - Ansley didn't do that cymbal choke. He recorded the original track. Tommy changed it up a bit.
Always loved Tommy.
Huge inspiration for me in my youth in the 1980s.

One of my absolute favorite drummers! Thanks Drumeo for bringing Tommy on board to share how he played this song.
Tommy is such a legend and one of my favorites.
I saw Tommy with Whitesnake a few of years ago... he put out an incredible performance! So much power!
I live and breathe this song. Every time I hear this on the radio, I fire off a text to the DJ who's giving it a spin and thank him. It doesn't matter where you are, or what you're doing, when this song get's played, man, you just lean into it. Greatest song, ever.
So cool to see a pro playing exactly what a song calls for, Precise , clean and a little flash at the right moments.
Sir, your interpretation was brilliant, you are a man with incredible talent, thanks for sharing it
Fantastic drummer, fantastic human being.

Lord Aldridge, powerful as always, it's amazing to see him blasting the drums.
This is the first interview, behind the scenes for the drummer of Whitesnake I have seen. Tommy mate, what an awesome guy you are! Not only do you rock those drums, like the best of them, but your age has only made you even better. What a legend, keep it up dude!
The height of his left hand and the power of his back beat are mind blowing.
I remember seeing Tommy play for Thin Lizzy supporting Deep Purple when I was around 12/13 years old - I absolutely loved the helicopter thing he does! One of the best live Rock drummers you will ever see and he's definitely still got it!
What a beast of a drummer! Amazing drumming and man, what a drum sound!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

My hero from the age of 15 (I’m now 52). I hope that Mr Aldridge is still hired for session and live work. He clearly hasn’t lost a beat. Peace.
Everything, just everything about it. What can I say? The tone, the playing, the attitude, the wisdom.👌
A classic example of not overplaying. Rock solid drumming!
Tommy has rocked so many venues in his life, what an epic life
Every time I've watched him play, from the first time in the early 80s through today - his power and emphasis to every note hasn't let up one measure. Truly, all style and things aside, his ability to drive every project he's on is second to none. Thanks for another video, Drumeo and Brandon! Bless you guys.
I saw them a couple years ago in a venue of 1,500. Amazing! And Tommy's solo without sticks is just as hard hitting!
Tommy is a true drum hero. He plays exactly what a good song needs. Not too much and not too little and responds perfectly to vocals and the other instruments. Love his drumming
The energy from him at his age is unreal!
"Here I Go Again"
One of my VERY favorite songs EVER!!!❤
LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! A beast! Managed to get his drumsticks during my 1st Whitesnake gig 🥲❤️❤️❤
yes he is
Every interview I see of tommy, the man is as nice as he is talented.
Seems remarkably grounded and normal for a "rock star"
That Carl Palmer Duo Ride cuts. Tommy is such a force. Wonderful drummer.
Tommy has always had that sheer power... amazing!
The beat is rather simple but he puts so much heart into it. Thats the secret.
so..so..so..so power full in that age 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Only Tommy can bash out a ballad and totally get away with it. His pulse is unmistakable. RESPECT!!!
Wow!!!! This man is a true legend from the golden era of Whitesnake. What a gifted musician ❤
Tommy Aldridge has a perfect understanding of humility and the power it gives. An incredible player and person.
Coolest drummer ever. What a Legend ❤
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

What an outstanding performance, the spirit, emotions, the power.. 👏👏👏
Dude plays so incredibly powerful to be in his 70’s!
This is a man who truly loves what he does. Incredibly impressive he’s doing this in his 70’s. Hope he’s able to keep going!
Tommy is so damn good. The sound of the snare is amazing! Love watching this guy play drums. Super tasteful and tight
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.
That's a fact.listen to pat Travers band live album.even better
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.

Great drummer and nice guy who never seems to bliddy age
been following this guy for the last 30 years and his drumming,,,,he's the goat
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!
And does all the stick tricks as well😅 still has nimble fingers, and strong legs as well
Man!
Wow do I love..
1. T.A. the man-the legend-a true gentleman-Rock KIng.
2. How Drumeo takes the time/ and $ to set up every detail so someone like me can experience the insight, explanation, the thunder...
Just unbelievable - thank you Drumeo and T.A.!
Peace always
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! 🤘
Mr. Aldridge, Do you have any idea or comprehension of the joy you have brought to the millions of us rock fans over the decades?! Thank you will never be enough!
