Eddie always gets credit for being a mad scientist experimenting and building guitars. But Alex was just as much a pioneer building those wild drum kits
Thanks Alex for your influence, I remember when Hot For Teacher came out and I couldn't wait to talk to my drum director who was setting me up with different drum sets, I was playing with the band out of Easton Pennsylvania and we went down to the playpen South in fort Lauderdale and played there for 2 weeks and I brought the new drum set with me and it was the first time that I played Hot for teacher with the four kick drums because of your influence and doing that song in car nival number 9 from Emerson lake and Palmer I Rocked that joint with a drum solo
I lucked out and saw Alex’s set at the R&R HOF… walked in & immediately noticed it on the lower level… It resembled something that traveled to the moon! Huge set up with 2 bass drums elongated with a flexible conduit… super impressive! I felt like a kid - amazed to be in the presence of the Master’s machine. 🤘🏻
Yo little man, I'm just a old white drummer who knows talent when I hear it, and Bruh, you nailed it, through all your complex time signatures , groove changes, and did it all without breaking A sweat!! You are very talented and you will go far, so from a old metal drummer it was a pleasure watching you work!!
Great Job! Loved following Alex's drumming and drumsets through the years. Also, FWIW, Fair Warning was a game-changer for me...the best VH album of them all.
1985 I got a Ludwig Classic, Pearl White with black bass rims. I added a second bass and floor Tom. 7 piece with 4 crash, 1 ride. I added black electrical tape to the shells to mimic Alex's kit. I wanted Paiste 2002s so bad!
If you notice, most of Alex's early Van Halen kits were very similar to Bill Ward's kits he used in Black Sabbath. Check out Bill Ward's drums between 1974-1979 and you can see where Alex got some of his kit ideas from.
his club days kits were really close to carmine appice who was a huge influence on him. ward was definitely an influence but carmine inspired alex’s double bass drum shuffle
Alex VanHalen and Rick Allen are the reasons I wanted a Simmons SDS9 Kit in the 80s. They proved you could play live in a rock band with eDrums and still be cool.
Not the same feeling man. That's why Alex went back to wood. True original. Not that 80's electric B's. Might as well go play in some gay 80's retro band.
@@crazybutcool5150 Those e drum sounds Alex used were 50,000 times more powerful than any acoustic tom or kick sound. I do get amusement from the naive trying to talk about things they think they know about because they bought a couple of music CDs once, but they dont. Your theory that Alex turned gay for a few decades is rediculous.
The minimalism of the first kit (being the first album) shows some of the best material can be produced with a more minimalistic setup. Alex was a showman reguarding the massive setup. When I saw VH as a kid in 1978, I was shocked at the size of the kit. Being a drummer I could hear what was on the first album (the only one I'd heard at that point. It was mostly an entertainment thing & I was amazed by the show. (Who uses 3 kick drums? Not even Alex in the studio).
alex van halen is a criminally underrated drummer, just listen to the isolated drum tracks of songs like 'i'm the one' or 'mean street' for some of the most tasteful drumming ever recorded.
@@williamrice1955 exactly! plus he was really versatile, van halen without his creative drumming wouldn't have been half as interesting. alex was a driving force with his beats and breaks. the way he played on the van halen track girl gone bad for instance is so creative and original. especially that part @2:37 which is really clever. absolutely incredible for 1984 and still holds up perfectly in 2021. ruclips.net/video/FcJA2-Vq4xY/видео.html
I can't tell you how awesome and informative your video is. That took a bunch of hard work to do. I picked up drums because of this band. I play BODHRAN professionally now but still play my electronic drums. Cheers
I loved a different kind of truth. Absolutely fantastic album from start to finish. Alex was a huge part of my drumming growth. Edward, Alex, Dave, Mike and Sammy left us with lots of phenomenal rock albums to enjoy for years to come.
@@65Drums Big time. On my collaboration page, I did two Van Halen medleys. ruclips.net/video/DUodvUIAshw/видео.html and Part 2 ruclips.net/video/IYak_Vb6NAU/видео.html Have a check out when you get a moment.
Yea my first kit was the classic silver sparkle Ludwig set also. When I added a second mounted tom around 1980 Ludwig said they were "discontinuing" the silver sparkle wrap (for some stupid reason). They agreed to "dig up" some to create my tom but after 2 years it was obvious that there was a problem because it started to peel back at the seam. I had to glue it up myself to fix it.
Is hard to find any information on Alex Van Halen not even drum cams. Very hard to find anything about him at all he's very private and quiet does not boast
Overall good show... informative and nostalgic.but Alex was high ....lol...and rich....so his crazy drum setups are what's remembered most....when in reality....his STYLE was often overlooked.....he rocks, drops 🎤
Alex chose Pastie 2002 cymbals with the addition of Pastie Rudes, this range of cymbals were designed for hard rock drummer. These cymbals during the mid1970's and 80's were the quickest responsive loudest cymbals, cutting through high volume stage sound. As Van Halen tour the world many times over His main reason for these cymbals. For example Van Halen are in Japan, at sound check the drum-tech discovers the 20'' Heavy ride crash has a crack then calls for a replacement from a local music store.This new cymbal will sound 95% like the one the band left the States with. Pastie made a big deal on that claim that tone and sound are accurately consistent, in defence possibly because Pastie cymbals crack too often with not much abuse in comparison of Zildjian and Sabian cymbals which all sound different to each other. This is great for drummer who like a DNA one in world sounding cymbal set-up, obviously displayed by many shit-hot Jazz skin-hitters..................... The Global Van Halen band Civiliztion will always remember and respect one of the best musician ever EDDIE VAN HALEN And is the one best brother a dedicated father and good man ever, that we appreciate and respect for ALEX and Family.
In the photo at 3:06, thats looking more like a Piccolo snare size, and the bass drum one on the left is smaller. Nick Mason also used one smaller bass drum than the other.
Alex Van Halen is 1 of my favorite drummers. And you know w/o Eddie and Alex, there's no Van Halen and you know it's sad that we lost Eddie Van Halen he was awesome on guitar (RIP).
Great job covering Reverend Al and his always amazing Ludwig kits. Al has been my lifelong favorite drummer and biggest inspiration, and although he will always be vastly underrated and underappreciated by most people, he will always be on my Mt Rushmore of drumming along with Buddy Rich, Billy Cobham, and Louie Bellson.
I appreciated AVH because he made it acceptable to have electronics in a metal drummer's rig. Same for Bobby Blotzer (Ratt). Of course, dudes like Bruford and Peart were doing it, but they weren't in metal bands
Good video. For the Sammy reunion tour the hi hat stand IS mounted to the bass drum with a special attachment hardware piece. The hi hat stand legs are removed so they can get it really close to the bass drum pedal. Hey, where did you get that video of AVH playing his1991-91 Ludwig kit? Thanks for your response.
Alex used Simmons bass drums for the 1984 album, and Simmons pads for toms on the tour, but virtually all of the tom fills he did on the album he did on roto toms (hence the roto tom set-up used in the "Jump" video). It's unmistakable.
awesome vid ! Could you do a Bill Bruford or Danny Carey "this is how they used e-drums vid?" I know Bruford heavily influenced Carey and I'd love a deep drive into his Mandala setup - from what I gather it's either got positional sensing or the pads have concentric circles of piezos' or something -
the only electronic drums on the 1984 album was the bass drum, and the drum featured on the introduction of Hot For Teacher. the rest were rototoms, Tama Rosewood snare, ludwig floor toms, etc. He didn’t replace the toms with electronic until the tour
Alex amazig creator of what it is to be an inovator on a. Scale that doesnt weigh the true amount of the matter of whats really is how massive mammoth these guys really are off the chart no scale can measure that
For those who thought that you can't Rock using Simmons drums we'll I think AVH is the best proof that, Yes! You can! And by the way a lot of rock bands in the 80's did the same, on the studio recording they use a Simmons and live they use acoustic or both, I can identify the Simmons sound from miles. I use a lot of Simmons gear in the 80's, SDSV, SDS-8, SDS-9, TMI, MTX-9, sold everything long time ago except the SDSV and TMI.
Edward is and was on guitare wath Alex vanHalen was en is on the drumset and what they did was being the best of the best !!!!! so VANHALEN THE BEST OF THE BEST Bottems up!!!!

Alex Van Halen is a major influence on my style and play. Thank you Van Halen for the all the years of music. Eddie will be missed.

Huge set up with 2 bass drums elongated with a flexible conduit… super impressive! I felt like a kid - amazed to be in the presence of the Master’s machine. 🤘🏻
The 2015 drum kit was the most beautiful kit I've ever seen.
One of the best snare drum sounds ever!
That`s right, I love this "POFF" too! One stroke and you know who`s playing.
One of the most underrated drummers and one of the best of all time!
Alex is a monster drummer ,just listen to his isolated drum track on mean street
@DonaldGerbino Absolutely! The ride pattern during the guitar solo is unreal. Alex was a groove monster.
Yo little man, I'm just a old white drummer who knows talent when I hear it, and Bruh, you nailed it, through all your complex time signatures , groove changes, and did it all without breaking A sweat!! You are very talented and you will go far, so from a old metal drummer it was a pleasure watching you work!!
5 1 5 0... Come on man. Sammy only yelled out "Fifty One Fifty" at least ten times every show they did on that tour...
As a drummer listening to Alex, his parts on 1984 are so well written and played and he had such control it is mind blowing!
Great Job!
Loved following Alex's drumming and drumsets through the years. Also, FWIW, Fair Warning was a game-changer for me...the best VH album of them all.
Wow dude. Amazing edits. Please make more like this. Incredible work

Check out Bill Ward's drums between 1974-1979 and you can see where Alex got some of his kit ideas from.
Rob - Absolutely! Too similar to not have been an influence!
Didn't know that, thanks!
his club days kits were really close to carmine appice who was a huge influence on him. ward was definitely an influence but carmine inspired alex’s double bass drum shuffle
Yes! They toured together so no doubt he got a lot of ideas.
Drumming in a neck brace...nothing could stop this guy!
Alex VanHalen and Rick Allen are the reasons I wanted a Simmons SDS9 Kit in the 80s. They proved you could play live in a rock band with eDrums and still be cool.
I couldn't agree with you more! These 2 guys did it for me as well!

Rick Allen is the main one who I saw playing the Paiste Rude cymbals...
When I saw Rick in 2018 he was using Yamaha silicone pads as part of his set-up.
All his kits were gorgeous
This video is great Justin! Everything you put out is top notch

Thats cool that EVH's kid Wolfgang took Van Halens previous name "mammoth" for his own band
The snare sound!!!!

Seriously underrated drummer and seems like a great guy too!

You should do a video of how and where Alex got the idea to double stack his kick drums.Nobody ever really talks about that✌
Probably "reasons"
Is hard to find any information on Alex Van Halen not even drum cams. Very hard to find anything about him at all he's very private and quiet does not boast
Rototoms on I’ll Wait are so ideal.

I really love your video, thanks for it, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That kit from the Monsters Of Rock tour was off the hook, I felt sorry for his tech.
That was my first concert. When he started his solo, I literally cried the entire time. It was so badass.
one of the best drum with Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams... Thanks to be present all my life long...
Great video Justin! I really dug it.

I would love to see Alex just sit in with a band or do a tour with a band because he is an underrated drummer I’ve always liked Alex Van Halen
Maybe he will visit Cabo and sit in once in awhile. Love Alex and hope he does something in music again but also understand if he doesn’t.
Awesome Video/Documentary🎼🎶🎶🎶✌❤
Favorite drummer
'Fair Warning' is still my number 1 VH record. it's funny they were saying it was a weird time, dark period but that's what made it great I guess.
Everything I love about cymbals I learned from AVH.
Best Snare Drum sound loved that pop in it

Fifty-One-Fifty. NOT 'Five-One-Five-Zero'.
I'm surprised he didn't say five thousand one hundred fifty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
"Five One Five Oh"... Eeek! Tell me you aren't really a Van Halen fan without telling me. 😏
😳🤣🤣🤣😶
Alex used Simmons bass drums for the 1984 album, and Simmons pads for toms on the tour, but virtually all of the tom fills he did on the album he did on roto toms (hence the roto tom set-up used in the "Jump" video). It's unmistakable.
Best snare drum sound ever.
Honestly I never really gave VH much listening time, just been overhearing the hits. But this got me interested.
Funny how in the early years Alex looked like Mike Damone and David looked and sounded like Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
Alex was like Eddie, always searching for "The Sound." Alex and Jerry Harvey are credited with the first dynamic in ear monitors.
What a cool video. I’ve always been interested in his sets and the largess of him and his playing.
awesome vid ! Could you do a Bill Bruford or Danny Carey "this is how they used e-drums vid?" I know Bruford heavily influenced Carey and I'd love a deep drive into his Mandala setup - from what I gather it's either got positional sensing or the pads have concentric circles of piezos' or something -
great video thanks
I remember seeing the massive amount of tape he used on the snare drum. Glad you pointed it out!
Always likes the fair warning tour drum set
18:03 Why is the hi-hat placement "interesting" for you? Have you never seen a double bass acoustic kit before?
Great video. On a scale from 1 to 10 I give it a five one five oh.
Alex has always played Ludwigs, and so have I. He's my favorite
I'm in shock after learning 1984 was done with mostly E-Drums. Must have had the best engineer that ever lived.
Edrums can sound amazing, you just have to use them right and buy the good stuff
the only electronic drums on the 1984 album was the bass drum, and the drum featured on the introduction of Hot For Teacher. the rest were rototoms, Tama Rosewood snare, ludwig floor toms, etc. He didn’t replace the toms with electronic until the tour
"Five one five oh" lol

Great job! Would LOVE to see one of these vids for Neil Peart.
Verrrry cool vid, thank you.....

Pretty good drummer. Fortunately, he was in a band with one of the best guitarists ever!!
I think his drumming qas equal to eddies guitar playing prove me wrong
Alex Van Halen is the best drummer ever!
Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪
Thanks for the upload -AWESOME VIDEO!
Alex is an underrated drummer , his playing always reminded me of John Bonham who is my favorite drummer of all
Al is a beast ☺️
I think he used a Peavey Radial kit in one of the videos from Balance
Great Vid
Like Eddy the first time I heard Alex play I never heard drums ever played like that.
For those who thought that you can't Rock using Simmons drums we'll I think AVH is the best proof that, Yes! You can!
And by the way a lot of rock bands in the 80's did the same, on the studio recording they use a Simmons and live they use acoustic or both, I can identify the Simmons sound from miles.

John annis of Kevin bourich express used two bass drums bolted to in the 70’s. Think while with Atlas.
DLR era Van Halen forever..
Alex Van Halen is such a great drummer and artist we are lucky to have him around us! 🤩🥁🎵👊🏻

I've never heard the album called "Five One Five Oh" before.
