Tommy kicks ass. I bet lots of people could play this material, although not a single one of them would sound like this. More love drummers! It's not a contest!

A solid straight hard hitting really tastful pioneer of rock drumming. Go Tommy !

Tommy was amazing with Ozzy and Randy ~ and he still has it today!

Amazing. One of the most authentic, inventive rock drummers of all time 🤘🏼

Serious drumming the cymbal chokes at the end was crazy!

beatsdddx if you blinked you would miss those chokes ... really something

Tommy Aldridge playing "Amphibia" (Patrick Rondat). The recording of this album (Amphibia) is a great memory ! The bass- Patrice Guers, guitars- Patrick Rondat, and drums- Tommy Aldridge, were recording live at Ferber Studios in Paris.

I love my Yamaha Oak Customs. I get so many jobs just from the kit. Thanks for rocking it Sir Aldridge. That was awesome.

Tommy is just awesome, he hits so dang hard 🔥!

Consistency and nuance of hits/dynamics was all there. Tommy is one of my favorite drummers, and both he and Yamaha drums brought life to this song and delivered big - both sounded great!

67 years old and still kickin ass and takin names.... hey all you new wimpy ass drummers of today, like Josh Dun, Dan Platzman, THIS is how you play the effin drums.... Tommy is a friggin legend!

I think he'd tell you that crown belongs to Louie Bellson.

Helps if you LOOK the part...Tommy is LEGEND...end of story. Anybody that does not get Tommy, does not get Tommy. No point discussing. Ignorant of history,--educate yourself. Tommy IS rock drumming. Rock drumming is not prog rock, fusion, funk, jazz...it is a style of its own and Tommy defines this genre. If you do not like the genre, this is a different argument or conversation. Stay on topic folks...

Tommy can play, just cause you don't like his playing doesn't mean he can't play. He is one of the most influential rock drummers of all time.. Are you?

You mean his '96 album "Amphibia" track "Amphibia Pt. 4".

Always been a heavy hitter .. Great job Tommy love it .. He is rock n Roll \m/ \m/ Peace

Tommy hits em hard just like he should, love his drumming now 40+years

My favorite drummer for 30 years. I bet a lot of drummers could emulate this but no one would actually sound like Tommy. Also I think that Tommy has extremely tasteful drumming.

Bro i swear if you look up the word humility in a dictionary, a picture of tommy aldridge appears big in the front page So humble i really love that of him❤

Dude in the blue shirt and black ball cap..expression on his face during the performance, priceless!!!! You know that something is unique and special when your mouth is open for that long!!!!

Has anybody noticed how low his throne is compared to the snare drum and knees? Very unorthodox, but then again it's Tommy we're talking about! Beautiful drumming!

he is just amazing on the drumms, a joy too watch:)

love his hair since 80s

Yeah!

For sure, one of the greats.

I love this guy.

great memory, nothing like standing a few feet in front of him as he absolutely demolished those drums, no mercy there. intense :-) thanks for posting.

Sounds great and great playing!

His drum sound is so DOPE !!

I just love that triplet lick he did on the kick at the end.

Wonderful, fantastic, great power

and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Been a hero of mine since he started with Black Oak - how appropriate.

I hope to see Tommy again I saw him in Dublin with Thin Lizzy amazing shows

My favorite drumers

I've been watching Tommy Aldridge with Black oak Arkansas band Jim dandy Ruby star those were the days sinbads club Santa Monica Pier California awesome drummer

The only drum solo that make sense, Thank you sir

Amazing!

The guy is a legend back in the 70's with Black Oak I can't recall anyone maybe Carmine as well who were playing double bass drums like that

Saw him play with Black Oak Arkansas in ‘74. Amazing then, amazing now.

Incredible double bass drummer👏👏👍👍☝️☝️

Saw him w/ Ozzy back in early 80's. Very solid pro. drummer.

Tommy Aldridge......unbelievable speed....🤘😎🔥

Tommy will always be the best

Awesome ending. Totally bad ass. Think I might have to purchase those.

Sick bro

9 months after this session the drums gave birth to little drumettes.

I really like Yamaha drums and their motorcycles

Tommy is a legend

brilliant

I have ALWAYS Played LUDWIG kits BUT I bought a YAMAHA MAPLE CUSTOM kit and I LOVE THE SOUND!! IAM A FAN NOW👏👍☝️

Seen him with Ozzy back in 1981 2 weeks before Randy Rhoads was killed. I was blown away with his drumming and 40 years later I'm still in awe.

Me also in Birmingham, Alabama. I was on the front row against the stage barrier and have some of the last photos ever taken of Randy!

Best Rock drummer of ALL time !!!

Archie, this video is fantastic.Really good to have a different viewpoint on Tommy's playing. Do you know if he's going to be playing the Oaks from now on?

I saw him when he played for Black oak he was one of the fastest dual bass drummers I've ever seen his feet were incredible the speed he's awesome

Love at cha Tommy!!! 😘😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️. U a bad boy! 😊😊😊

GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸

Increible

Absolute respect to the pioneer's! The classic stick twirl...uhhh? Give me the "skinpounder", Tico anyday...:) Nice post.

Wow. Somebody get that snare drum to emergency! Some heavy hitting fluidity from a living legend right there. Crazy stuff from a cat that always has his foot right down on the gas. Crazy chokes towards the end as well.

I like this sound of drums and Paiste Cymbals ! Also quite prog song

Great American Top Drummer!!! Great Showman!!! Nice person.Beast double base player

Looking back on this, it was like being next to a Sherman tank!

BadAss!💯👊

Check him out. In black oak Arkansas his. Drums solo is. Amazing

A 10 +!

Yeah \m/ !!!!!

damming awesome drummer and 65 and still has is cotton ball hair rock on Tommy hands down he smokes most heavy metal drummers in the 80s a nd now Gretchen job Tommy reminds me of the curely haired guy in the movie earthquake 70s something

🏆

the fucking master!!!!!!!

Actually in truth, this video doesn't really do Tommy justice. I've seen him a couple of times performing clinics and he's a total monster. All single notes and he just rips it!

Please anyone tell me whice track he was playing

which is the backing song?

Unbelievable.

NON STOP SUPER

That kit owes Tommy money. He was making it pay.

awesome hair

anyone recall the French dude TA did this song with/for? Pat Rondat...

Where are his mics?

So many people going on about soul! Here's what needs to be understood. The only person who can adjudicate feel is the person behind the set. If you don't think there is feel here because he feels different than you, then you are demonstrating a lack of knowledge. Tommy is a great player. He's got phenomenal energy as a live performer, can drive a groove like a freight train, and has a great vocabulary around the set. There's no reason to think his playing his bad.

nope. I'm not Kenny. lol, Allen Brunelle (drummer of metal band MYSTIC FORCE) Tommy is 1 of my top 3 all-time favorite drummers. :-)

🥁 😱 🥁

rock oooooon-nn

holy shit :0
