I’ve been playing drums for decades but before I ever touched a pair of drumsticks I saw Black Oak open for Ted Nugent and when I saw Tommy playing I thought “Man this drummer is waaay too good to be playing with this band.” I’ve been blessed to see Tommy four times with four different bands. He has never failed to drop my jaw. His performance with Pat Travers in Atlanta was mind-expanding. There’s no one quite like him.
Huh? Why cause he's old? He really good and all but top 5? He plays for whitesnake. Not Led Zeppelin not The Who or Pink Floyd, whitesnake. Come back to reality.

@@frankburdodrums8984 That’s a pretty weird logic right there… I love Pink Floyd as much as the next space cadet but it’s not a God-given for worlds greatest drummer... Tommy is a really solid articulate drummer.. Credit where credit’s due surely?
Favorite Rock Drummer by a long shot. The Man is 68 and just as good or better than ever. Incredible work ethic he has. He gives a Great show every time. One of my Hero's
Or Pat Travers...before Ozzy! Check out "Hammerhead" from Pat Travers Band ....and every other thing he recorded with PAT TRAVERS BAND...THAT WAS THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!
The most violent hard rock drummer to ever do his thing at a world class level. From a pure drummers perspective, look at his monitor cab setup. Good lord!
Huge rig, AND he's running in-ears as well. I saw him with Ozzy and Jake E Lee in Honolulu. That night Jake came into the Jazz Cellar in Waikiki, where my band was playing, and jumped up with us to play Crazy Train. Tommy will always been my hero.
Desde q estaba en black oak arkansas aya por los 70s ya era buenisimo y ahora con los años ah madurado muchisimo y con whitesnake se a consagrado como baterista estando entre lo mejor de lo mejor !!
Tommy is a complete beast. I saw him with Ozzy a long time ago and he tore those drum heads up. At his age I dont know how he can play that hard and not have a heart attack. Just completely fricking amazing
First became aware of Tommy with Black Oak Arkansas in the early 70’s. Followed him ever since. When he was with Pat Travers saw them opening for Rush. Told the wife you’re going to see 2 of the best drummers in the world tonight. Not an overstatement at all.
Saw him play with Black Oak Arkankas back in the late 70's in Wichita, KS.. he absolutely KILLED on his solo. Probably still the best one I've ever heard to this day.
Tommy Aldridge is the MOST UNDERRATED DRMMER in MUSIC PERIOD !! Not to mention that he is humble and doesnt really consider himself to be a "rockstar!" Oh, and a TOTAL BADASS on the kit !!
I have always been a single bass drummer and have a rubber ankle. I saw Tommy playing with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads shortly before Randy Rhoads died. I really enjoy Tommy playing with Pat Traver and whoever else he plays with. Tommy is a really nice guy too. God bless all drummers and real musicians.
Damn good call! Vinny has been one of my all time fave drummers for nearly 35 years. In many respects, i find his style of playing to be almost unique, at times. Some of the cleverest, most amazing 'musical' fills i've ever heard. The guy will always be nothing less than a Legend, in my eyes. So, so many talented players in the world today, but Vinny is RIGHT UP there for my money... \m/ (:o)
I first heard him while listening to him playing live on a Gary Moore album,in '84 I think.As a drummer in my early teens,I was proper impressed; firstly because of his use of the double kick,and also the way that he could carry it on for ages without slowing down or missing a beat.Great to see nothing's slowed him down.
QUE IMPRESIONANTE, TEACHER!!! MASTER, NUMBER ONE!!! ... TOQUES CON QUIEN TOQUES SOS UN MONSTER, Y ME EMOCIONÓ, VER CON QUE PRESICION PERFECTA TOCAS, SOS MI IDOLO, TOMMY QUERIDO !!!🙌🙌🙌👅👅✌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's because he's doing what people do on the drums to practice when their like 14. Watch closely as he plays the snare and cymbals in the same pattern over and over slows down and speeds up. If you played drums you could do this.
Crying in the Rain. Would recognize it anywhere Aldridge has played with absolutely everyone, and that’s because everyone wants to play with him. The guy is an ace
Yes he is a monster I got the chance to see him with Black oak Arkansas one of the fastest dual based drummers I have ever seen I have great respect for him
I saw this cat back in 73 when he was 18 years old or so drumming like a beast the originator of the 10 minute drum solo with BOA incredible that he still place with such a violent finesse that other drummers can only try and mimic . But Tommy isn't some self absorbed ass hat he is always one of the nicest guys in the room something he learned from his first frontman Jim Dandy Mangrum
I absolutely love Tommy’s Passion and Style when he plays the drums! No one plays with more “Intensity” than Tommy! My favorite drummer of all time!
Tommy has always been a legendary player, but the fact that he can physically do what he does at his age is damn impressive! Legend!
Tommy changed my Life.
I'll be forever grateful!

The same douchebags will do the same to Carl Palmer , Cozy Powell too , they are truly no nothing sickos !!!
??? Ive read a long way down the comments and I haven't seen anything other than 100% respect, admiration and love for Tommy.

Pat Travers is where I saw him 1st. Amazing.
Black Oak to The Nuge anyway!!
Tommy Aldridge ......is one of the best drummers of all time....he and Neil Peart.....are the top ...!!!
This man is 132 years old and he’s still better than 98% of a Rock/Metal drummers alive (including me). Tommy is a stud!!!
Lol
Он алдридж ездит на велосипеде
Tommy is AMAZING !!! one of the most powerful rock drummers ever !!!
Truly Powerful AND Yet, w/Style AND Grace
Holy crap. He's 65 in this video... Top 5 rock drummers, ever.
Huh? Why cause he's old?
He really good and all but top 5?
He plays for whitesnake.
Not Led Zeppelin not The Who or Pink Floyd, whitesnake.
Come back to reality.

I really don't understand why anyone would give a thumbs down
Because they're clueless.
Been following his drumming since 1975!
Going all the way back, used to be amazed when he played with Black Oak Arkansas 1973!
Tommy is Awesome, I saw him a few times back in the 80's with Ozzy and Whitesnake !
Favorite Rock Drummer by a long shot. The Man is 68 and just as good or better than ever. Incredible work ethic he has. He gives a Great show every time. One of my Hero's
Been a huge fan since Black Oak Arkansas. Amazing drummer.
🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
for me tommy aldridge is the most explosive greatest drummer
Tommy is a national treasure, most humble man, and living drum legend.
I absolutely love his style and ambition
That's some serious energy! Wow!! Awesome!
amazing that he’s just as powerful now at 68. just unreal
65 years old at this time of filming - plays harder now that 1983! Ozzy or Sharon should have never turned loose of this guy! #amazing
Or Pat Travers...before Ozzy! Check out "Hammerhead" from Pat Travers Band ....and every other thing he recorded with PAT TRAVERS BAND...THAT WAS THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!
@@allenlocke1935 Saw him with Pat Travers in the day. Great show 🤘
He’s the best period
This video makes me so happy.
Longlive Dear Tommy longlive oldschool🤟
My first concert ever Black Oak Arkansas and Wet Willie at the Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Ga. 1973 or ‘74. Tommy kicks ass!
Tommy has played with some of the biggest bands in the business and is a powerhouse behind the kit.
The most violent hard rock drummer to ever do his thing at a world class level.
From a pure drummers perspective, look at his monitor cab setup.

Seeing him a couple times with Travers back in the day was life changing. Powerhouse, showman. ❤
A thumbs down for the Great Tommy Aldridge ? Come On ????? ((((((

Deep respect for Tommy still killing it at 65 and not just 1 song , No 2 hours of blasting of if he's still 21 💪👊👍

The Master. Love him.

Tommy is the best.
his heart and limbs are still stronger than ever !!!!
I have always been a single bass drummer and have a rubber ankle. I saw Tommy playing with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads shortly before Randy Rhoads died. I really enjoy Tommy playing with Pat Traver and whoever else he plays with. Tommy is a really nice guy too. God bless all drummers and real musicians.
Wow!! Tommy Aldridge sensacional como sempre! Um de meus grandes ídolos e influências! Obrigado pelo vídeo! (estou 3 anos atrasado, mas tudo bem! 😋)

Don Brewer doesn't get talked about enough...one of the best, and he's a michigan boy...he turned down an offer to play with Frank Zappa.
Tommy rules!🥁👍🏼🎊🔥
Fantastic.

Seen him way back on the Diary of a madman tour ,,Ottawa ont!
This is Great!
Holy freakin shit! Every missile he sends out hits it’s freaking target 🎯... sweet freaking Jeezus!
That's because he's doing what people do on the drums to practice when their like 14.
Watch closely as he plays the snare and cymbals in the same pattern over and over slows down and speeds up. If you played drums you could do this.
Legend!
A Sturdy Hi End Truck !! That never breaks or quites !!
Awesome!
Nobody hits them harder, one of the best. Seen him play live total legend

That is awesome.....wow.
Fantastic!!!

Just a shout-out to say "Hi", my dear... I don't know ya 'tall.., but a fan of Coverdale and band is certainly a friend of mine... Ciao..
Yes he is a monster I got the chance to see him with Black oak Arkansas one of the fastest dual based drummers I have ever seen I have great respect for him
I think Tommy is 65 here. Proof that age is just a number. Still kicking ass.
Esse cara é o melhor baterista de metal do mundo!
Can someone tell me what the little drums in front of the base drums are / do ? Gotta love Tommy the tank tho
