Go listen to the searing drum intro at the beginning of Van Halen's classic, "Hot for Teacher," from their hit 1984 record and rejoice that it was a paper route that decided the musical fate of the brothers' Van Halen. Born in Amsterdam on May 8, 1953, to Jan van Halen, an accomplished jazz saxophonist and clarinetist, his wife, Eugenia, Alex, his brother Eddie, and their parents moved to Pasadena, California, in 1962. Though the brothers were trained as classical pianists, Alex first gravitated towards the guitar, while Eddie first picked up sticks on a $125 Japanese-made St. George Kit, with Eddie delivering papers to pay for the kit. When Eddie was away slinging papers instead of licks, Alex stepped behind the kit, honing the craft that helped launch Van Halen into the pantheon of rock gods. When Eddie heard Alex's mastery of the drum solo on "Wipeout," Eddie turned his attention-thankfully-to the guitar. He thus set the earliest lineup of one of the most influential music acts in rock history, with Alex's drumming drawing inspiration from the likes of Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Buddy Rich, and Ray Phillips, which all formed to create a wholly unique and singular sound.
The "Brown Sound" created by the band is often attributed to Eddie, but Alex insists the name is after his distinct snare drum sound, though Eddie’s virtuoso guitar playing is a sound unto its own. The band has sold over 56 million albums in the United States and more than 80 million worldwide and earned entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
The offered custom Ludwig drum set with pedals, hardware, and Paiste cymbals used during Van Halen's 2012 tour in support of their album A Different Kind of Truth is presented. Alex, who uses and endorses Ludwig drums and Paiste cymbals, used this kit during the 60 shows on the tour. The tour kicked off with three warm-up shows at Café Wha? In New York City, Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, and The Forum in Inglewood before the tour kicked off in Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center on Feb. 18, 2012, ending on June 26 in New Orleans. The Asia portion of the tour was canceled due to Eddie Van Halen's emergency surgery for diverticulitis and rescheduled for 2013. The tour grossed $49.9 million with over 485,000 attendants.
The complete custom drum kit was designed and constructed for Alex by John JD Douglas, Alex's longtime drum technician and liaison for over 20 years, and was played during the 2012 tour by one of rock's most influential drummers. The tour-used drum kit comes with an LOA from Douglas, who states that the kit, constructed by Douglas, was sold by Alex to David Frangioni/Frangioni Foundation through him, attesting to its authenticity.

What is not to like? The man was a monster. He was also the Leader of the Band. Alex was the guy. Eddie was always a waste, and Dave was so badass it was the perfect friction. It was great, it had an end, all great ones do. I was a big fan of old skool VH and also a huge fan of solo Hagar... I actually got on stage with Sammy when I was 17 years old and he threw me into the crowd. Love that era. When Sammy joined VH, I felt like two of my favs just perished. Yup. But Sammy survives and does great music with many projects.

Once a kit like this is mic'd though it always sounds bad ass in a concert venue.I never cared for his bass drum sound & not a fan of this head style either,but there's no denying once you hear those bass drums & snare blasting through a pa system, you can instantly tell it's Big Al for sure.
I love the big sound of this kit. It sounds full
Beautiful kit.. love the tones..
The drums are beautifully tuned.
You did a fine job. Alex would be proud. Very impressive playing.
His classic snare wasn't terribly ringy. It was iconic enough to know this.
Hi David this is great! You should have more videos like this.
I like the big sound on this kit.very iconic sound.Alex and Ludwig thay both rock 🥁🤘thanks for the tour
Waw..incredible kits🥁🔥
Alex played big! All those cymbals and drums are massive! Great vídeo.
Beautiful played 🎶🥁🎶
I love it! I want it! I love it! The sound, his groove….,,🤤
Amazing kit, Big Al. One of my favorites drummer ever, great video.
All I wanna do is play drums now. Cats like this are the greatest
Great sound and playing too.
Ludwig needs to come out with an AVH kit. Maybe like the one he used at Cafe Wha? in 2012 or A kit like his tour kit from 1991 to 93. Both set us had one bass drum. But I'd rather see AL out doing seminars about his drum parts and his swing and sound. I love AL.

🤣 Beer taps on the Bass drums! AVH is always coming up with something outside the box for the visuals of his kits! I remember the Mini frig in the bass drum a while back!🤣
Very nice 👍
nice chops. wrist of fire!!!!!! nice
Guy’s a great drummer, love the “Jamie’s Cryin” tom roll….!
This is amazing! Fantastic drums and cymbals. This drummer is really good too!
If I had money to blow, I would surely buy these. Alex is one of my heroes. I wish he would come out of hiding.
Will I be able to load this drum set into my 2003 Subaru Forester? Of course the back seats will be down!

I see a lot of instructional videos of how to play the beginning of Hot for Teacher, but I've never been able to find a video of Alex actually playing the whole intro live. I found one where he played a little of it, but normally he starts out with the main shuffle pattern on the kicks with ride and snare. If anyone knows where a video of Alex playing it in its entirety, please share.
Very good
The octobans sound great !
Cool.❕🔲
Hot for teacher was played on Simmons pads. The sound of his snare drum comes from Alex.
Pretty nice. Had mine for decades . 24 inch
I can't even imagine how much they want for this.
One thing Alex wasn't known for was a ringy snare drum. He taped the A under the the head for a reason.

I just made that same observation just now. I’m glad to see that someone else noticed that as well. It’s all about the tape underneath the batter head. Even standard duct tape works just as good as gaffers tape. And all gaffers tape is, is weather stripping
Only Alex should play this drum set. He should buy it.
Sweet ! Still nice drumming!!
When I saw the 1980 Invasion kit in Cleveland years ago I actually thought about sneaking back there for a quick picture with my right hand high in the air .... my wife said " you'll get arrested " i said this is like once in lifetime.... so i didn't but i thought about it 😂
sweet kit !
Alex could show up, give clinics. It would be amazing.
Man, you're a good drummer dude!
Was the snare on or off?
is that Hal Blaine's kit next to it?
Thats GREAT.. BUT THE SNARE SOUNDS LIKE A HIGH PITCHED TOM WITH BROKE SNARE SPRINGS...AND THOSE TOMS ARE SO TIGHT...THEY ARE RINGING LIKE A BELL. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THAT ACTION ON THAT KIT.TUNED LOWER, WOULD BE BETTER.😉
Speed king pedals? 👍
Cool Mon
He was playing a Tama Rosewood Mastercraft
Never noticed before but it sounds like the snare is off on the snare drum. I doubt it is but it seems like there's more "ring" than crack to it...
❤
FRANK BURDO DRUMS 🇮🇹 Ship them to me.
Brilliant!..X
Are those Ludwigs the Legacy Maple or the Classic Maple?
As last played by Alex...until this video
Anyone have any idea what general pitch Alex's snare is tuned to.? E, G, F, F#. ???
How much for one of the cymbal wing nuts? Asking for a friend 🤣. Big Al was a fucking beast😎
LOVELY kit isn’t it ! Well Alex needed the booze flow built into the drums themselves….Just remember those old days where he would pour all those cans of Colt 45 or Schlitz Malt into himself and without proper civilised pub guidance it would go all over the toms and snare and RUIN them😢..He needed a nice little refrigeration unit to keep things nice and civilised…..lol.

I don't think this is a live gig kit, probably a photo kit. AVH had Simmons pads inside the shells and the only live drum was the snare. Everything else was Simmons.
Can someone tell him to tour with Wolfe Sammy and Michael ?
Mirror image kit in thumbnail breaks my brain.
That snare drum needs seriously needs some tape underneath the batter head. Then, it’ll sound like Al
Excellent looking and sounding kit, but you make it sound like Al had died.😢

WHERE IS ALEX?
Needs more cowbell
Where the deep end go
The two extra bass drums for visual is stupid. I always thought he played all 4. Later I found out he was only playing 2
Only costs 10 times more than a Roland.
No info on drums including wood type, shell composition, number of plies, etc.
Custom made Octobans????? Yeah by Tama!
Turn the snares on wth
Never been an Alex fan. He's no Eddie.
as a former drummer i think that the increasing technological inventions like doble, triple basedrums and multiple toms are running the art of drumplaying. A violine or a trumpet are the same as 200 years ago. If the same happend to them we wont have classical orchesters any more. Insane
When you say Alex Van Halen's drum kit, You really should be saying one of his many drum kits...
Sound like Ludwig's
Hell they don't sound any better than any others
Lot of haters on here. If this kit were set up, tuned, and mic’d up for a Drumeo video, it’d sound a lot better. His kit is unnecessarily extravagant for his style of playing, but that was par for most rock drummers in the 70s, 80s, and 90s - until Grunge became popular. AVH isn’t the most technical drummer, but much like Ringo and Lars, he’s great because of his feel. He has an identifiable sound despite never overplaying. His parts were always perfect for the songs.
Will you take 2k for it?? ; ) JK... (Prolly best I just stick to my 4 piece lOOdwigs.)
Why do all of these rock star drums sound like they were fitted with trash can lids and plastic bags?
really no reason to buy anything other than ludwig if one can choose.

Observations. That guy while not Alex is a very good drummer. Lol. I don’t want to sound like an ass because I truly love VH and Alex. I also play drums, but the kit sounds like crap to me. Too ringy and hollow. I do love the Paiste 2002 series for sure. Just being honest. The studio either changes the sound, Alex is magic, or the recording is crap. Lol. Or all the above.

Those complaining about the drum sound seem to forget that these drums are being recorded with one mic in a large room full of drums. In the studio, each drum is mic'd, the room is mic'd, the levels are set, it's played with other instruments, and the song is mixed.
My Radio Kings are better.
Hate the finish.
My Hello Kitty 3 piece drumkit sounds better than this...😮
Goes to show how far you can go even with a garbage sounding kit
Alex will regret this. What a foolish thing to do He needs an intervention IMO.

Ludwig is one of the kings of a vintage sound, which works with playing old Van Halen songs,but IMO there's no kit period that can beat DW in sound quality overall.Theyve got the deepest sounding kits available,but every rockstar drummer is gonna be loyal to a certain brand just like Lars is with Tama,etc,etc...
i wanna see the drumkit poison used. it always makes me laugh at some of the poser glam bands of the day, these massive kits with doubled basses and racked cymabls and five hundred tomtoms... yet they play the basic 4/4 rock beat.... compared to a real drummer with a hihat, snare, and kick...
That was a really poor hot for teacher lol. I can't help but tell the truth. I've heard 12-year-old drummers on KZread play it a zillion times better
