Gotta hand it to Tommy Clufetos for keeping what was the once briefly extinct "rock drum solo" alive.. Good to see cats like him keeping it fun and entertaining..
He didn't get that done. That's what happens when an older band from the 70's tours, they bring back drum solos. He played a good one but didn't bring it back.
It's got to be awkward for this poor guy knowing how loved Bill Ward is by Sabbath fans.I'm sure he knows they want to see Bill there but his playing and the kit is a definite homage to Bill Ward. It's the best gig the guy will ever have and his definitely honors Ward's legacy.Good on ya Tommy-Great job.
I'm a guitarist and Tony Iommi is a huge inspiration to me so it almost pains me to say that this was probably my favorite part of the show! Those poor, poor toms
I am 58 years old and have been A drummer all my life. I say that Tommy is by far the best I have ever seen. I had seen him in wash. state on ozzys last time.
Hehe... I must be so late to this party that I haven't read any negative comments buried somewhere here. Good! I love the gentleman's approach to this Black Sabbath performance/tour: drums tuned for power and breadth, his solo is fun and relatible, his time is fantastic! He looks extremely fit and like a rock star resurrected. I have to believe that Black Sabbath as a whole feels very fortunate to have that 'young man' at the wheel. Bravo! (I'm not even a Black Sabbath fan ROFL... maybe I'll become one.)
Call it what you want, whether your a drummer or not. This is entertaining. The people who went to this concert are enjoying it, and that's all that matters.
I went to the show having mixed feelings about the drummer situation (I still think Bill Ward should have been there) but Tommy Clufetos was great. And his drum solo was amazing. You can't blame Clufetos for what Sabbath did to Bill Ward.
Tommy was playing jazz fusion when he was a kid. He's always been a remarkable player. It's unbelievable the success he's attained. But he went for it like a freight train. Unapologetically dedicated, driven, and focused on his goals.
You know what? I'm a drummer snob, and I say this is one of the best stadium show drum solos I've ever seen. Not because it was super technical, and not because it's from a band I grew up with (but only liked once I got older). In a big room, the sound gets mushy, and the drummer needs to play simpler to allow the audience to follow along. I gave Tommy Lee credit for doing this in the past - but I think Clufetos does it better than Lee & Tommy Aldridge ever did. The solo was built really well for the audience and the venue. Hats off!
Precisamos entender ,,cada baterista é único,, alguém pode ter suas preferências e tal,,isso é saudável,,o que não compensa é acharmos que o outro não tem mérito, certo?!.O Tony está meio que trazendo de volta aos grandes concertos de Heavy metal tradicional,os altíssimos solos da bateria!!. Maravilha,gente!.O cara simplesmente bate sem dó!!.
The bar has been risen so high with musicianship now, it almost doesn't even matter how good someone is. Its become old hat to me. I just like anything entertaining and full of energy.
Tommy is an amazing drummer as well as godfather to my granddaughter. I talked about him last night on my live Podcast. The show topic was the masterpiece Patient #9
Always loved drums since i saw Ginger Baker with Cream as a kid in1967! Seen all of them since . Buddy Rich , Bonham, list goes on but this guy was something else. Power ,stamina everything.We were in Glasgow a few rows back and my head was hanging by a thread!
I like his energy & the fact he's having fun. It made the audience have fun too. Maybe not the hardest drum licks I've ever heard but by God the man was kicking some ass. That's rock n roll to me. He didn't bore the audience, he entertained them & gave them their monies worth.
So very cool... It's like an ode to Bill Ward... He looks like him from the late 70s... Same type drum.kit Ward played in late 70s too, a Ludwig kit tho... And the white marine pearl color is the color of Bills earlier Slingerland smaller 4 piece kit...
Its just the perspective, theyre sitting just above the bigger concert toms, the china is more to the left beside them than it looks, and yes, its just for show, its black sabbath, theyre playing stadiums, hes supposed to have a giant ridiculous rock drum kit, the gong is just for show too, incase you were wondering.
I'm just 6 months shy of being 70 years old. This man is entertaining but the best drummer I've ever seen live was Carl Palmer. My favorite is Buddy Rich. BTW I'm also a drummer.
Tommy is a fantastic drummer with great energy and does a great job he even sort of resembles a young Bill Ward but sadly he isn't Bill Ward who was sadly not a part of this because his brothers and band mates and Couldn't or wouldn't get him a decent contract. None of the excuses given for this were acceptable, regardless of who over sees the band (managers etc) you're fcking Black Sabbath and you could have fixed the problem and made it happen. Tony, Geezer, and Ozzy should all be a shamed of themselves.The ending of this band without him is in my opinion one of the greatest tragedies in rock music, they owe it Bill to throw all the bullshit excuses to the side and go out one more time with him and make this right before one of them passes away or something else happens.
every drum solo with 2 bass drum pedals (kicks) are still the same: soft and in the end with maximum power with the double bass drum pedals in action with a fast tempo :)
Seen them in San Jose. Glad I went. I have to say this is the best drum solo I’ve ever seen live. While Ozzy got his depends changed Tommy Clufetos nailed it. Eat your heart out Tommy Lee., this solo would of smashed the wheels on your drum coaster.
Awesome Bill Ward inspired drum set from the late 70s era. Sounds like and reminds me of the big wide open tuned drum set Bill used during the 1978 Black Sabbath tour. 70s arena rock drum sets, loud big and big wide open bass drums too. I like how this guy has all the random concert toms and octobons spread out around the kit too. Only thing Id change if I had this kid Id have 3 rack toms instead of a rack tom and 2 tiny toms like he has. I hate when dudes use 2 bass drums w one rack tom... so ugly. Btw this "solo" sucked... lol pretty much did like 3 versions of the same thing in this solo. Starting off slow and then pick up speed w crowd participation such a stereotypical drum solo. Awesome hand of doom bass line and Rat Salad jam in the begging though🤘
He’s not at a drum competition he’s at a concert people want to be entertained .for that he did a great job .
Power solo drums...rock never die
Gotta hand it to Tommy Clufetos for keeping what was the once briefly extinct "rock drum solo" alive.. Good to see cats like him keeping it fun and entertaining..
Clufetos είναι ελληνικό επώνυμο

Tommy Clufetos monster of drums .Heavy metal drum master.
Stick to heavy metal

It's the best gig the guy will ever have and his definitely honors Ward's legacy.Good on ya Tommy-Great job.
Exactly.
bill ward is 100 years old and would not survive 3 songs of one show...
i like his playing more than bill LOL
Actually he played with Zombie and John5. The guy is a beast of a drummer. Black Sabbath may have been a big gig 30 years ago
@@foltzfamhalloween I hear ya but Sabbath is still a huge gig lol
I grew up listening to Sabbath. I've seen the original members a few times. this guy does a great job.
I'm a guitarist and Tony Iommi is a huge inspiration to me so it almost pains me to say that this was probably my favorite part of the show! Those poor, poor toms
I am 58 years old and have been A drummer all my life. I say that Tommy is by far the best I have ever seen. I had seen him in wash. state on ozzys last time.
...agreed. Why these clowns continue to bag his technique, and sob for Bill is beyond me.
Dziękuję za to nagranie, zrobiłeś to rewelacyjnie. Natychmiast odżyły sobotnie wspomnienia.
This old school drumming at its best.

Seen them in Belfast that drummer (Tommy Clufetos) He soloed for around 15/20 minutes!! fucking Brilliant he was
beautiful kit and sounds great!
Call it what you want, whether your a drummer or not. This is entertaining. The people who went to this concert are enjoying it, and that's all that matters.
Good point Stephan, the fans are happy.
Stephen Landry I agree some "other drummers" are just running off the band. Fun is fun and good tunes!
I went to the show having mixed feelings about the drummer situation (I still think Bill Ward should have been there) but Tommy Clufetos was great. And his drum solo was amazing. You can't blame Clufetos for what Sabbath did to Bill Ward.
Clufetos did his work very professionally...an awesome experience for him too (drumming for Black Sabbath...on their last tour....wow).
Sadly, I don't think bill had the stamina to play a full high energy set anymore. Like this part.
Tommy was playing jazz fusion when he was a kid. He's always been a remarkable player. It's unbelievable the success he's attained. But he went for it like a freight train. Unapologetically dedicated, driven, and focused on his goals.
The clarity on this video is just amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Really loving the sound of his drum kit/house
That pearl finish looks f--king amazing!!!

Tommy is KILLER!Nice solo... thanks for the share!Cheers

I thought it was extremely dull, I could play this with my dick
He really sucks....thumbs down..!!!
@@oldgit4260 Right!...lol
Bill Ward & Tommy Clufetos, both of them.... Kerrraaannngg 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟

Amazing solo !
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
I know Tommy from the gym ..Nicest most polite guy I ever met!
By gym you must mean drug dealer.
I remember Tommy when he played for Ted Nugent about 10 or so years ago and I fell in love with his drumming then!!!😎👍
The bar has been risen so high with musicianship now, it almost doesn't even matter how good someone is. Its become old hat to me. I just like anything entertaining and full of energy.
Great!!
He is my favorite drummer!!!

Que bonita esa batería toda nacarada al estilo vintage... Que bonita..!!! Buenos y variados tamaños de tambores... Me encanta..!!!👍🇺🇾
Tommy Clufetos is one of the Best drummers i've ever seen live.
..totally. I'd love to see him in a band with Jake E. Lee and Glenn Hughes..
Ese día prometí nunca más tocar la batería. Lo veo, se me sigue erizando la piel y se me llenan los ojos de lágrimas.
I will never clap again after this.
Can someone cut the hands off the person who is clapping in the background please..
Clapping when you are in the crowd at a rock-concert...HE MUST BE KILLED!
Anyone who says this rock drum solo sucks is absolutely clueless. It's amazing.
One of the best rock drummers.
I enjoyed that solo live in Ottwa ,canada!He is a dynamo!
this was the best concert I've been to
I like his energy & the fact he's having fun. It made the audience have fun too. Maybe not the hardest drum licks I've ever heard but by God the man was kicking some ass. That's rock n roll to me. He didn't bore the audience, he entertained them & gave them their monies worth.
Kirk Shipp : he kept his gig.
Saw them in Houston on this tour with my dad, and Yes, we were Very Happy 😎😎😎
He caught me by surprise. This a very entertaining drum solo. His energy is insane, he reminds me of “Animal” from The Muppet Show.
5:50 gotta love that tension building, Classic Sabbath Style.
Phenomenal drummer and very nice guy I met him when he played for Rob Zombie
Fantastic Drum's !!! Gorgeous,
I’ve been to over 100 shows, and this guy has been in my top 5 favorite drummers live, he is a monster
Super cool!!
Glad I got to see that....bravo
The fact that he plays very well but he himself gets watch his hero’s every night when they toured thank you tommy
So very cool... It's like an ode to Bill Ward... He looks like him from the late 70s... Same type drum.kit Ward played in late 70s too, a Ludwig kit tho... And the white marine pearl color is the color of Bills earlier Slingerland smaller 4 piece kit...
it is notoriously difficult to entertain the average person using only drums, so this guy does a very good job here!
dude it’s the exact fucking opposite, you know shit about drums
@@VictorCardena3 wth do you mean the opposite ? What is the opposite of drum lol
Best Drummer of All time!
I liked his performance....
Its Appreciable......
Love the tuning on that snare! Aged (tobacco stained) WMP DWs. Kewl
Just saw em in Bristow VA
I was there also.... Awesome show!!
BLACK STAR. BURNING LIGHT YESHUAHHARMASHIACH. BACK IN BLACK IN ALL BANDS WITH A JAM !!!
Awesom!😁😁
Man, what a smasher!!
as great a s drum solo as you can get!! wow!
I notice that Matt Cameron and Kenny Aronoff have both played with Tony quite a bit. So I'm guessing Tommy was chosen by Sharon.
I wonder how he mics his kick drums with solid heads on the front...I want to do this too I may have to mic them from the batter head side
They're probably internally mounted, I cant remember who but I know companies do make internal mounts for kick drums.
Tommy Clufetos rocks!
Tommy is a great fucken drummer.
should Bill have been there? yes
but tommy is fucking brilliant
Excellent
Amazing drummer
Wahnsinn !!! Super Video!!!
1:06 toms behind the china cymbal (left top corner)?! Just for show I guess??
Its just the perspective, theyre sitting just above the bigger concert toms, the china is more to the left beside them than it looks, and yes, its just for show, its black sabbath, theyre playing stadiums, hes supposed to have a giant ridiculous rock drum kit, the gong is just for show too, incase you were wondering.
Incredible!!!
Sabbath rules 🤟
Another amazing "GOAT" drummer, of whom I can not pronounce the last name . . .
Great energy and chops..like a heavy louie bellson *
Bravisimo Tomy cufletos es demoledor en la bataca
Yeah the rhythm starting at 06:00 was awesome! Helluva massive kit.
After enduring years of abuse that drum set finally had the courage to take out a restraining order.
Poor octobans and concert toms felt lonely..😩😩
Like my mother said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
Stephen Landry but this solo is awesome man
At my age I wish I had his energy!
I'm just 6 months shy of being 70 years old. This man is entertaining but the best drummer I've ever seen live was Carl Palmer. My favorite is Buddy Rich. BTW I'm also a drummer.
7:10 the man is getting on fire🔥🔥🔥
Very Impressive!
Amazing Camera Quality!!!! Is a DSLR??? thank you!
Oh my God he is awesome
Es una bestia esto es música

Simply the best drummer
Es una Bestia

Tommy Aldridge.
Aí é um grande baterista
Djises, that clapping is annoying
That guy that keeps yelling "Yeahhhhhhh", I could do without...just saying
@@alexcostan3391 haha, yeah :D
Seen them in San Jose. Glad I went. I have to say this is the best drum solo I’ve ever seen live. While Ozzy got his depends changed Tommy Clufetos nailed it. Eat your heart out Tommy Lee., this solo would of smashed the wheels on your drum coaster.
I think he's a great fill in drummer for bill ward . tommy makes sabbath sound stronger than ever !
No he isn't. No he doesn't. Bill is TRUE Sabbath, not this guy.
I like so much DW really just
Hey Gonzo, what video recording equipment did you use? Very good quality!
Look up the definition of "Power Drumming" There is a Picture of Tommy Clufetos looking back atcha!
Genialer Drummer 👍
HIGH-ENERGY+TIME×KEEPING!
Why Is bill not up there
Because Bill would not have had the physical stamina to play like that on a tour.
He was amazing, he performed fenominally amd gave theoldermemerz of the band a break to rest
Awesome Bill Ward inspired drum set from the late 70s era. Sounds like and reminds me of the big wide open tuned drum set Bill used during the 1978 Black Sabbath tour. 70s arena rock drum sets, loud big and big wide open bass drums too.

Awesome hand of doom bass line and Rat Salad jam in the begging though🤘
EL _Wilder88 the set is awesome but this solo really does suck. Bill Ward new how to combine Jazz and dynamics with bashing.
...looking forward to your turn on the stool, when they decide there's still some unfinished business on that stage!
Not the most technical drummer. but very effective and dedicated.old school metal drumming.
