Tommy Aldridge (born August 15, 1950) is an American heavy metal and hard rock drummer. Aldridge is noted for his work with numerous bands and artists since the 1970s, such as Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers Band, Ozzy Osbourne, Gary Moore, Whitesnake, Ted Nugent, Thin Lizzy, Vinnie Moore & Yngwie Malmsteen.
Self-taught, Aldridge was initially inspired by the music of Cream, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Drummers such as Joe Morello, Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Mitch Mitchell were particularly influential as Aldridge developed his drumming style. Aldridge himself has become very influential, and is regarded as a double bass drum pioneer in rock music.

Tommy is a class act. Props to the interviewer as well, really liked how he complimented Tommy, very cool.
Tommy's secret for getting gigs: 1) world class drummer 2) not addicted to anything 3) easy to get along with 4) doesn't demand an outrageous salary.
After all this time listening to him play I realised I'd never heard him speak. What a lovely dude. Knows who he is and is comfortable with himself and with life minus the ego. That's a pretty cool place to be! Much respect
I met Tommy years ago at Guitar Center in MN and I must say what wonderful experience.
Wow, just wow...Tommy is just such a humble man, and just a blessing to hear him speak. God bless ya Tommy! Such and incredible talent.

It really is refreshing to hear such a focused and even keeled ROCKSTAR drummer. My friend of decades is his drum tech and speaks very highly of him as a musician and human.
I’ve been a fan of Tommy’s over 30 years.
Seems like a really cool dude.
There's nothing boring about him! I love that guy so much. No ego ever!
The guy is still ripping drums. One of the best.
Love how he says he's blessed.
When Tommy is talking about the "After Hours" video..... arguably one of the greatest moments in Rock and Roll history just the up close footage of Randy you can actually see his face,,,, his smile and Tommy and Rudy just sound phenomenal, we're so luckily they played live and didn't sync.
Yes recorded in Rochester NY. I was a teenager big into Randy and watched the after hours tv show which aired after 12midnight on a Saturday .
Such an influential, legendary, bad-ass drummer - and humble to boot. "He says he's been blessed and lucky.
Thank for being a great example for all of us to learn from, and enjoy. Cheers!
If Randy "had lived"( I wish) we'd be interviewing Randy about Tommy!! The chemistry and connection was unparalleled!!
"I fooled you too eh?" What an amazingly humble guy.
From what I understand, that was Lee Kerslake on the tribute drum solo. Tommy stated that years ago because, Tommy said he didn't palm the bongos. He may of been confused? I remember reading this in a few music magazines. Tommy always gave Lee a ton of credit back then..that's how I remember it..do your own research.
Tommy seems such a nice guy
One of the best drummers ever!
Long live Tommy Aldridge!! Fantastic human 👏 extremely talented Drummer, Goddamn!!
Us rock fans here in the UK love tommy. Seen him play with different bands over the last 40 years. A hugely talented top class musician. But very modest about his gift. God bless you tommy lad.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock On.
"Back then, Ozzy was actually insane." Back then = any time before March 7, 2018
"Well", let's say heavily addicted, to alcohol and drugs!. "Insane"? Only if you're trying to sell a record!!
Honest and humble man. Pleasant to listen to his English, good articulated and rich language. great contrast with many other rockers.
truely one of the greats.. nice to hear him speak. humble and articulate.
This guy has played with more bands than I can remember.
Even as a young drummer on the New orleans music scene he was self depreciating always the ncest guy in the room and the absolute greatest American drummer and with his longevity in the genre the greatest Rock drummer to me .
Tommy is so cool and humble. A real human not sticking his nose in the air.. what a power house!😇🤗😇
Killer Killer drummer, my first albums of him were with Black Oak Arkansas in the early 70s.. and he never stopped kicking ass..
Great drummer! My dad saw him with Black Oak Arkansas back in the day and said he was one of the best drummers he ever saw and did a killer drum solo--and my dad was not a fan of drum solos but Aldridge was only one he said was good at it.
Believe it or not my Dad saw him as well and said that same thing ( Drummer was fuc!ing awesome ( Motley crues) Tommy Lee stated this as well just prior to joining Motley and just prior to Tommy joining Ozzy. Sammy Hagars rock show on t.v. ( you can look it up). Anyhow, Tommy has always been my favorite "blue collar "Drummer ever! Just performs and does his fucking job! Definitely needs tons more credit 😌 🙌 🤗 ☺️
Я несоглашусь никогда с теми кто говорит что Томми Олдридж недооценённый барабанщик.Я пересмотрел много концертов с Томми Олдриджем начиная с Black Oak Arcansas,куда бы не занесла судьба Томми,все группы где он участвовал приобретали второе дыхание!Я всегда предстпвляю Томми Олдриджа погонщиком колесницы с его фирменным взмахом нал головой.Гони Томми гони эту чёртову колесницу,хоть ты уже и не молод.Я был на твоём концерте в Москве в 2019г со своей дочерью,мы никогда незабудем твоё соло!Ты самый лучший,так и должен играть не жалея себя хард рок drummer.
What a great guy. So humble. Not egotistical, which is refreshing.♡
Everyone loves Tommy. Even David Coverdale. He must be a nice guy.
All time favorite drummer, super cool guy.
Very nice interview,good and decent inteviewer and,of course,mr Tommy Aldridge!!Really humble,down to earth when he's not behind the drums.But,when he IS behind his drums then he is a beast,a dragon!One of most influential heavy rock drumers!!
The legend speaks!!
I'm a big fan Tommy, I first
saw ya play with d'Thumbs
in Chicago!
Great little interview
Talked to him one day on the jetbridge of all places, He's a very nice guy.... I couldn't believe it was him, saw the BIG Hair and said, Tommy Aldridge? said it like 3 times... He said, Yes!!
A Legend!
Absolutely love this guy! Tommy rocks!
I love Tommy Aldridge, great guy, great entertainer.
Excellent musican & Men. . .
So much love & positive energy. . .
LEGEND!
Tommy Aldridge is such a class act!
I first heard Tommy back in the early 70's, Black Oak Arkansas, a live version of "Hot And nasty". My introduction to double bass. I've been playing double bass ever since, the last kit I got in 1977, Tama Imperialstar Saturn 12 + 1. It's a big kit, 13 drums, 16 cymbals. The trick is you don't need to hit every drum or every cymbal in every song.
What a truly great guy. Absolute legend.
He is the MAN !
That's crazy he said that was a disappointing night cause that album literally changed my life, which inspired me to be a musician. Wow.
Tommy, nice guy and great drummer!!
Love this guy! Bleessed to see him play! Whitesnake! 2018!!!!
“God has blessed me with some decent carcass” - the secret recipe that is Tommy Aldridge
Interviewer: "How is married life"
Tommy: "It beats roofin'"
Ha ha right
Most sincere, honest answer ever! He is the king!!
Nice interview Eric! Tommy seems like a proper decent bloke - and what a drummer -STILL!!
"Back then.. Ozzy was actually insane" 😂
You can tell Tommy thought a lot of Randy, he's always saying such uplifting things about him.
Tommy in bands with 2 of the greatest guitar legends ever to play... Shawn Lane & Randy Rhoads!! I know there were other awesome guitarists he played with, but Shawn and Randy were from another planet!! .. It'd be awesome to pick his brain, and hear some stories.....
I don't think Shawn and Tommy were in BOA at the same time. I could be wrong.
He played with Gary Moore too.
@@jccharles2157 And Vinnie Moore.
@@drumboy1956 You're correct they weren't. Tommy was an original member in BOA & left the band in 1976 & Shawn didn't join the band until '78. So as they say, close but no cigar! ✌️😉
Even though Tommy did not get the chance to play with the late great Shawn Lane in a band. Besides Randy, Tommy did jam with a few other kick-azz guitarists no bout a doubt it. "Gary Moore, John Sykes, Tony MacAlpine, Ted Nugent, Doug Aldrich, Vinnie Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, & Jake E. Lee." I'd say that's a pretty good bunch of shredders to have on your resume, right? 🤔 🤘😉🤘☮️
Tommy....God bless ya man ...former drummer Nobody Else
I'd love to meet him. Seems like a nice, humble person.
I wish you really still played with Ozzy having him behind that kid was just a force to be reckoned with he's like a octopus
What a cool guy !tommy you’re amazing!
King of the double bass
Ditto
Tommy A is such a class act
TOMMY ALDRIDGE. ✌😎🙌
Tommy!
What ?
Mississippi boy....drumming legend, he's played in a few great bands!!
he's a beast. a monster. beastly beast.
A lot of bands. Started with Black Oak Arkansas.
He jammed out with John Sykes live too .
Tommy is a class act all the way. Legend double kicker!
I saw Tommy walking out of my local Guitar Center here in Vegas and I drove right by him...you can't miss that huge wad of hair! I still regret not talking to him!
seen tommy on the raunch-n-roll tour with black oak arkansas in 1973 he did his drum solo with his hands and punch in the tom at the end
legend!
wow what a genuinely nice guy
Tommy wants to be honest but not piss off the Osborne clan. Good answer man!! He's smarter than he knows!!
Such a cool dude.
...great dude ...great drummer "
The man.
not boring food buddy. live food makes live people 😊
Probably top five in the favorite drummer category for me.
How's married life?...well it beats roofin.., take it from a guy who's been roofing for 30 years, it sure does
...I've roofed once ....that was enough..
Excuse my ignorance but, what's roofin?
My first day on a roof my friends called me a scared bird ,
And yes roofing sucks
@@DizGuys umm...replacing shingle( protects your roof). Not easy work. I did this in late 80s as a teen. He's no where near wrong!!
Slight hesitation when asked how married life is. He answered correctly but also knows the truth
He's human ♥️ We know he remembers the wild after concert life..lol. Good way to recover.
Nice guy
Tommy is a beautiful cat!!!
? I thought he was interviewing Calibos from Clash of the Titans Well, at first. hehe
true bad ass!
Tommy Aldridge looks like a combo of Carrot Top, Crispin Glover, and Cloris Leachman. But he's a better drummer than all three of them.
LMAO! You win the internet with that comment! Spot on and hilarious!
I saw a glimpse of Glen Close too. :)
Lol...interesting! I do agree though!!
Just a regular dude. Humble af.
I never would have suspected that Tommy was american. I thought he was british
Becuase Aldridge is a small town near Birmingham, England! I thought he was too for years!
Metalhead123 for some reason I thought he was British also-wow- learn something new every day!
No, he's a southern boy!
The man is a drumming machine! I think God replaced his hart with a metronome!
風貌が変わらないのが
スゴイ スポーツ選手ぽい
Im happy you found Christ Jesus Tommy. Not that he was lost. LOL!!!
oh yeah I forgot he rejoined White snake. their last 2 cds were lame. I wish that jhon sykes & Vivian cambel rejoined& Sarzo & they did another Rocking album.
MetalHeart8787 an no Steve Vai!!!!
The 1987 album had Sykes but not Tommy or Vivian. those two were in the video and tour. I like the songs with Aldrich.
