Tommy Aldridge IS one of the top drummers of All Time.. I was lucky enough to see him with the Pat Travers Band and Ozzy. Thanks for this Great footage!
Most Definitely an UNDERRATED DRUMMER!Tommy is on SO MANY Recordings!Tommy is an Influence to Myself as a Drummer!.In My Top 5 of All Time.Love This Man for Contributing to Mine and So Many other Generations of not Only Drummers,but Also to the Music Industry!!!🤘
Associated acts that Tommy played for and recorded with. Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers Band, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Yngwie Malmsteen, Patrick Rondat, Motörhead, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Vinnie Moore, Hear 'n Aid, Pata
I remember as a young drummer and Pat Travers, Go For What You Know live album dropped, set a high bar for double kick performance. A spectacular show!! His playing on White Snake live album is just about the best rock drumming you gonna see and hear. Aldridge is legend !
@@jackwilczynski6957what? Tommy shaves his head every few years and plays 45 minute drum solos then grows it back and goes back to the 10 minute mark close to what he's doing in this video
What an animal. Aldridge's solos didn't have much variety from version to version but you have to hand it to him....he was a machine from a consistency standpoint. Professionalism defined.
I agree with twotontessie, cause he's had the same basic solo for years, but has always kept it super solid and added little things here and there to make it a little different, but still an awesome solo.
Some of Lee's techniques came from Aldridge. Lee admitted that Bonham and Aldridge were 2 of his biggest inspirations. As for Tommy not being a human, on stage he may not look like it, but off stage, he is an chilled and incredible man, and does so much for people and the community he lives in.
I think he left, then Carmine Appice came in the band, he recorded “ bark at the moon” then he got in a fight with Sharon, he left the tour, and they called back Tommy to finish the tour. Lol.
Underrated? Maybe for you, anybody who played a bit of drums, and is aware of what’s going on in the music world for the last 50 years, know the guy, and are fully knowledgeable of his talent. You don’t get a 50 years career by being underrated.
@@pascaldeslongchampsmoncton1490 yeah I meant exactly what I said he's underrated the three drummers I just mentioned are household names Tommy is not but he's better than all of of those I mentioned you might need to look up the definition for underrated it's actually a nice compliment is saying how good somebody is and more people should notice like I said there's 20 more rock drummers who are bigger than he is but shouldn't be because he's better
Peter Criss was/is horrible IMO. The only semi good thing he gave to the public was Beth, and comically, that didn't even involve drums LMAO. I do however miss Eric Carr.
Such a shame Aldridge doesn’t get a lot of the recognition that he truly deserves. He is a badass drummer!
Amen
Yes sir,and he’s still here kicking ass in 2023.A true drumming beast.
so many metal drummers owe SO MUCH to this guy.
man im just finding out about him somehow and its a damn shame
1000%
Sharon fired him. Shame man!
True hard rock double bass pioneer.
One of THE greatest rock drummers to ever walk planet earth...Tommy Aldridge.

Beast....one of my favorites

Most Definitely an UNDERRATED DRUMMER!Tommy is on SO MANY Recordings!Tommy is an Influence to Myself as a Drummer!.In My Top 5 of All Time.Love This Man for Contributing to Mine and So Many other Generations of not Only Drummers,but Also to the Music Industry!!!🤘
this guy played the drums in half the concerts iv'e been to.
Totally
Mr arena rock drummer
I saw him in 1972 with Black Oak Arkansas.
Was way ahead of his time - outclassed that band so badly...
Number one drummer of all time
A quintessential rock drummer if there ever was one! Remembering from a concert when he played for Pat Travers.
I remember a bare handed solo
Gadd and Aldridge totally owned this early Yamaha Recording sound.
Tommy is a beast on drums. My all-time favorite drummer.
Associated acts that Tommy played for and recorded with. Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers Band, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Yngwie Malmsteen, Patrick Rondat, Motörhead, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Vinnie Moore, Hear 'n Aid, Pata
This dude brings a lunch box to every gig...all business
I remember as a young drummer and Pat Travers, Go For What You Know live album dropped, set a high bar for double kick performance. A spectacular show!!
His playing on White Snake live album is just about the best rock drumming you gonna see and hear. Aldridge is legend !
Like Mikkey Dee, he´s playing nearly the same solo year after year BUT it´s a GREAT solo so why not? Love him!
what happened to Andrae? Truth!...lol
Same thing with the hair, all you see in their solos is the head of hair flying around.
@@jackwilczynski6957what? Tommy shaves his head every few years and plays 45 minute drum solos then grows it back and goes back to the 10 minute mark close to what he's doing in this video
Truly one of, and still is the best ( 68 years old ) entertaining drummers of his time!!!!! Hey!!!! TOMMY!!!!!!! :)
What an animal. Aldridge's solos didn't have much variety from version to version but you have to hand it to him....he was a machine from a consistency standpoint. Professionalism defined.
Very much so, and it's paid off in the longevity of his career. Still going strong!
My favorite Aldridge is on Speak of the Devil. It sums up his style perfectly.
Excellent beautiful amazing sublime inmortal the 80 amazing rules.. EL MAESTRO TOMMY ALDRIDGE. 🎼 🥁 🎵🎶💫
Never seen a drummer plays with his palms!!!
Huh? Joe Morello John Bonham
MONSTER!!! Saw him front row with Whitesnake in '88 and met him in '96. Rock royalty for sure and a nice guy
Tommy has an amazing resumè.
Tommy is a monster drummer,seen this dude so many times in so many bands just beat the kit up and down
Rockforevermusic Me too, I've seen Tommy, with Ozzy twice, Pat Travers, Ted Nugent and Gary Moore.
Incredible drum solo!
He has became my favorite
He's definitely a legend. I have seen he play with Ozzy and Black Oak Arkansas back in the 70s
Not the most technical drummer. But so much heart and soul in his playing. Love this guy.
i FN love that black Yamaha kit he played on this tour
As a longtime drummer, the separation between his feet and hands was what really sold me on him.
Awesome! I remember that day ! US Festival 1883! Great show! I was eighteen years it was a memorable experience seeing all the bands!
Oh ! 1983! Lol! 🤘
Oh!!! 😂
I watched via Satellite the Old Skoll Giant Satt, It was Awesome!!!!!
True God of the beat!!!
His very good with the double bass drums. They sound like cannons going off , on the live Whitesnake albums
I was at US Festival...rode on a motorcycle from Idaho to the show 🤘🤘🤘
My all time favorite drummer.
The year I was born. Wish I was old enough to attend this concert
I agree with twotontessie, cause he's had the same basic solo for years, but has always kept it super solid and added little things here and there to make it a little different, but still an awesome solo.
Basic ?? Can you play his double bass chops ??Where is your video ??
@@johnadams1715 yeah, listen to him at drumeo. His drum work is insane
top 5 all-time
TommyAldridge. Incredible Drummer !!
Amazing!!! The "free-hand" part reminded me of John Bonham, but a bit more fast and violent.
Monster!!!
¡Pero qué preciosidad!...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻💐💐💐
Holy horse that was amazing
Tommy is the man,end of story
power -speed and endurance to the max !!!
God and I was only 2 when he did this!
I was at this concert!!
Awesome

A true hard rock drummer of there ever was one!

The Benjamin Button of drumming.
Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers, at this point in Tommy's Career A 10 yr Concert Veteran on 🥁

Yea for years
0:52: Stick drop.

Meu ídolo!
“King Kong ain’t got SH@T on ME” Tommy Aldridge
:43 the Chick gets it !
Michael Anthony alert at 1:26. Lol.
This guy is 1 of my all time favorites too. How long have you been playing man?
TheBoinger5150 34 years. I started at 3 years old. I'm a tour monkey and a teacher. How about you?
patton303 unbelievable
Also Tommy Lee to the right!
Centaurus That's actually Jake E Lee next to him.
Maestro aldrich bestia ..
I'm Tommy Lee's fan. And I think Tommy Aldridge is not a human at all.
Some of Lee's techniques came from Aldridge. Lee admitted that Bonham and Aldridge were 2 of his biggest inspirations. As for Tommy not being a human, on stage he may not look like it, but off stage, he is an chilled and incredible man, and does so much for people and the community he lives in.
@@ItsJustMeAdam. I agree, bro! Tommy Aldridge is a humble person off stage.
OMG!Aamazing!
ドラム神
Ozzy looks less than impressed at being upstaged. I read that's why Sharon sacked Aldridge off the tour.
so where can i find footage of this video w/o some ones logo plastered right in the middle of it.kind of annoying.
So... this is where Jim Henson got his inspiration for Animal.
You don't want to fall in a fight with Mr Tommy Aldridge!
Carus Alambra 🙂
yaaaaaasssss bihhhhh
The only drummer I know that play with his hands
John Bonham
Carmine Apiece
Sharon fired him…. Damn shame
I think he left, then Carmine Appice came in the band, he recorded “ bark at the moon” then he got in a fight with Sharon, he left the tour, and they called back Tommy to finish the tour. Lol.
@@pascaldeslongchampsmoncton1490 Tommy who actually recorded😉
In-FUCKING-credible
…drum kit sees Tommy walking out…..oh no- we are all about to get hit, sticks or not….early and often….brace for impact….🤘😎
Can anyone tell me more drummers name like this? So full of passion. Watching this stuff keeps me practicing
Carmine Apiece. Neil Pert
Alex Van Halen , Dave Lombardo,
Jimmy degrasso.
Tommy is the successor to John bonham
Watermark is a little over the top
Hes 110 hear😊
mi religion es la musica heavy metal
Is Box
His feet sound like a fr helicopter.
Exelente drums de whitesnake y ozzy osbourne
mr yamaha
ZERO BODY FAT
Jesus Christ, mamoth solo
Who has those sticks?? Lol.
Maybe the most underrated Rock drummer ever better than Peter Criss better than Tommy Lee better than Lars

@@billycain9890 I know the definition bud, I just think that it’s over used, and often out of context, that’s all.
LMAO why is Peter Criss here he blows
Peter Criss was/is horrible IMO. The only semi good thing he gave to the public was Beth, and comically, that didn't even involve drums LMAO. I do however miss Eric Carr.
La paso a matar jajaja
Wtf!
Too much drumming.
Not so historic film with that shit in the middle of the screen....can't watch it
Can't watch it?!?!? LMFAO!!!
That's the REAL deal there man, get over yourself geez...........
