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!
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!
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?
Who said he can't play I would like to meet the guy that said he can't play tommy is one of the most iconic drummers in the world he has made his own style and he's been copied by many
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.
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.
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...
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!
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!!!!
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❤
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.
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!
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
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?
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.
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!
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.
The song he played was Amphibia part 4, from french guitar hero Patrick Rondat, in which Tommy have performed in two of his album, Amphibia in 1996 and On The Edge in 1999, listen those albums ( available on Spotify ), because Patrick is one of the best instumental guitarist and composer.

Один из лучших роковых барабанщиков🤘😃А тот,кто ставит дизлайки,видимо «диванный» критик НЕДОБАРАБАНЩИК.Вы господа сначала,хотябы 10% того что он умеет и знает добейтесь,а потом ставьте дизлайки😉😉😉всем добра......
I'm a jazz player and I have watched some aldrige video's that just kill. he is a great player.I'm sure my teachers like garibaldi,porcaro,houghtn,ralph perterson, alan dawson , ,chaffee and bob gulloti might be yelling at me but tommy one great rock drummer.
why would they be yelling at you? they are not fans of ROCK music. Tommy is ROCK drumming. Jeff on Kingdom of Desire is a rock masterpiece. Tommy is rock-hard rock drumming and does not try to be anything else. This genre has a style of its own. Power--visual--time-groove-control...repeat. It takes discipline to NOT overplay.
Just bad recording tool, i got this kit, it's something, in this pricetag, test all brand and decided to buy the Yam, i don't regret my choice, super easy to tune, keeps the tuning , real loud.

A solid straight hard hitting really tastful pioneer of rock drumming. Go Tommy !
Amazing. One of the most authentic, inventive rock drummers of all time 🤘🏼
I love my Yamaha Oak Customs. I get so many jobs just from the kit. Thanks for rocking it Sir Aldridge. That was awesome.
Where can I find the you tube page and subscribe by tommy aldridge? Thank you

Serious drumming the cymbal chokes at the end was crazy!
beatsdddx if you blinked you would miss those chokes ... really something
Tommy is just awesome, he hits so dang hard 🔥!
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?
He has been my favorite all time drummer since I started listening to music. Never found one I liked better.
He has the same chops he had in the 80's.
who doesnt like his playing? everything seems positive down here
I think his best work is with Pat Travers Go For What You Know Live.
Who said he can't play I would like to meet the guy that said he can't play tommy is one of the most iconic drummers in the world he has made his own style and he's been copied by many
Tommy was amazing with Ozzy and Randy ~ and he still has it today!
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.
Excellent... the bouble bass father Mr Tommy Aldridge
I think he'd tell you that crown belongs to Louie Bellson.
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.
Tommy hits em hard just like he should, love his drumming now 40+years
It's a song from the french guitar player "Patrick Rondat", from the CD "On the Edge", 1999. Drums: Tommy Aldridge
You mean his '96 album "Amphibia" track "Amphibia Pt. 4".

The only drum solo that make sense, Thank you sir
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!!!!
I hope to see Tommy again I saw him in Dublin with Thin Lizzy amazing shows
I just love that triplet lick he did on the kick at the end.
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❤
LEGEND
Always been a heavy hitter .. Great job Tommy love it .. He is rock n Roll \m/ \m/ Peace
For sure, one of the greats.
and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Been a hero of mine since he started with Black Oak - how appropriate.
Is he 65 years old isn't he? That's amzing.
he is just amazing on the drumms, a joy too watch:)
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.
Incredible double bass drummer👏👏👍👍☝️☝️
love his hair since 80s
Yeah!
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!
Saw him play with Black Oak Arkansas in ‘74. Amazing then, amazing now.
His drum sound is so DOPE !!
Best Rock drummer of ALL time !!!
Looking back on this, it was like being next to a Sherman tank!
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
I really like Yamaha drums and their motorcycles
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!
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 w/ Ozzy back in early 80's. Very solid pro. drummer.
My favorite drumers
Sounds great and great playing!
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
Yeah,you're right! Tommy has the right idea,always had it! Balls to the wall,fast,hard,loud,powerful!!!
His foot control is superb
I have ALWAYS Played LUDWIG kits BUT I bought a YAMAHA MAPLE CUSTOM kit and I LOVE THE SOUND!! IAM A FAN NOW👏👍☝️
Wonderful, fantastic, great power
Tommy Aldridge......unbelievable speed....🤘😎🔥
Where can I find the you tube page and subscribe by tommy aldridge? Thank you
9 months after this session the drums gave birth to little drumettes.
Sick bro

Awesome ending. Totally bad ass. Think I might have to purchase those.
what kind of conditioner does he use?
Tommy will always be the best

Absolute respect to the pioneer's! The classic stick twirl...uhhh? Give me the "skinpounder", Tico anyday...:) Nice post.
Amazing!
Please anyone tell me whice track he was playing
Tommy is a legend
He's playing to 'Patrick Rondat - Amphibia part -4'
👍😉
What is the name of the song he's playing?!?!
I like this sound of drums and Paiste Cymbals ! Also quite prog song
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?
How about Weckl, Beauford, Cobham on this kit instead?!
Check him out. In black oak Arkansas his. Drums solo is. Amazing
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.

The best cymbal chokes ever!
Great American Top Drummer!!! Great Showman!!! Nice person.Beast double base player

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!

ruclips.net/video/Qzn5JoD7vLA/видео.html
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Not a Yamaha fan but this kit looks sweet. Love those Paistes.
+aizo yurei Same here, I'm more into Tama and dw, but a good sound is a good sound nevertheless :).
Oak shells.
Increible
That kit owes Tommy money. He was making it pay.
Tommy Aldridge from Arkansas how did you end up in Santa Monica Sinbad's club Jim dandy Ruby star slaymaker here
Actually, quite a few before him....Ginger Baker....Keith Moon...to just name two. But Tommy is now at the top!
What song was this?
The song he played was Amphibia part 4, from french guitar hero Patrick Rondat, in which Tommy have performed in two of his album, Amphibia in 1996 and On The Edge in 1999, listen those albums ( available on Spotify ), because Patrick is one of the best instumental guitarist and composer.

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. :-)
BadAss!💯👊
He nearly won a gold medal for power lifting in the olympics.

I believe Porcaro liked Aldridge.
Simon Phillips mention Aldridge as influence too
@@Joesfosterdogs Tommy is more than Hard Rock.
Listen Pat Travers !
Nice!
Great Drummer! The Drum Kit (Oak) via this recording, however sounded no different from a kit costing a hundred dollars purchased from a yard sale.
Just bad recording tool, i got this kit, it's something, in this pricetag, test all brand and decided to buy the Yam, i don't regret my choice, super easy to tune, keeps the tuning , real loud.
Wow, he sits so low with his knees up high.
He dont play double bass so fast, then is not strange this way to play
it's about the balance
