Great drummers, like Colaiuta, Gadd, Emory, Weckl etc., did their thing. After Tommy did his performance, some smart*** in the audience yelled: But, can you do that with ONE bass drum?... Being the gentleman Tommy is, he politely replied: - I could try? Then, he just smashed the same sh*t to piece, and totally owned it with...ONE bass drum. What a legend! - Thank you, Tommy.

    One of the best rock drummers ever.
    So much passion n power in his playing. And he comes across so modestly. Rock on Tommy!

    The beat is rather simple but he puts so much heart into it. Thats the secret.

    A classic example of not overplaying. Rock solid drumming!

    Only Tommy can bash out a ballad and totally get away with it. His pulse is unmistakable. RESPECT!!!

    He's a joy to watch. The precision AND power. And a reminder. If you are playing Rock, it's important to HIT HARD.

    Tommy's influence can't be overstated- listen to Snortin' Whiskey and the drum sound on that sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. Vinnie Paul in particular loved Tommy, you can hear it in his snappy triplets and insane grooviness

    I seen Tommy. Play drums years ago. Badass drummer. One of the best I've ever seen 👍👌💯. He was twirling the sticks. And keeping time. Great Drummer.

    I recommend that Live In The Still of the Night London 2004 gig that's shown throughout here. One of the best live concerts this millennium. I have the DVD. It's phenomenal. I promise you.

    My hero from the age of 15 (I’m now 52). I hope that Mr Aldridge is still hired for session and live work. He clearly hasn’t lost a beat. Peace.

    Tommy is one of the best and greatest guys around. I have his 1987 Yamaha hot red recording custom set from his white snake tour. I’m a very lucky guy to own this piece of historical memorabilia. He is a down to earth guy with such an amazing back ground down to earth guy. I have so much in common with him personally. His heart and history is bigger than his playing all together. The best drummer I have ever heard. Thank you for posting this

    Wow do I love..
    1. T.A. the man-the legend-a true gentleman-Rock KIng.
    2. How Drumeo takes the time/ and $ to set up every detail so someone like me can experience the insight, explanation, the thunder...
    Just unbelievable - thank you Drumeo and T.A.!

    A fantastic drummer. How he is still doing it physically, i've no idea. His playing with Gillis and Sarzo on Ozzys Talk of the Devil is just outstanding.

    Tommy is a true drum hero. He plays exactly what a good song needs. Not too much and not too little and responds perfectly to vocals and the other instruments. Love his drumming

    These aging musicians are a real inspiration for living! Sure you can look at these grannies who are still doing crossift, but the way Tommy is hitting those skins, from above it looks like a young buck that still lives for the metal n' the music like a 20 yr old! 🤘

    Este Caballero ya tiene su lugar marcado con letras de oro en la historia del Rock donde muy pocos han llegado y si este género no es rescatado por bandas con la calidad y pasión de antaño será uno de los últimos titanes del Rock.
