Sorely under rated drummer. One of the pioneers of the double bass. Doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

+Coltsin14 I wish I saw Ozzies Blizzard of Oz show...

[@cagerage75]

This guy is truly an amazing drummer and sadly he's underated...

[@nkv47]

Tommy is one of the best drummer's in the world today...must of been great playing with RR.

[@YogaArmy]

Tommy is a real classy guy and a true professional. Such humility. Very cool

[@atabish3031]

Absolutely the pioneer of power double bass drumming from way back with Black Oak Arkansas

[@kennybonanza6324]

Tommy looks the same as he did in the 70's! I always love his drumming no matter the band or project!!!

[@richardemms]

Great drummer, Great guy and great comments about Randy.

[@jamesnikki5]

He´s the true rock n roll drummer! what an example! thanks sensei!!

[@joe35lok]

Amazing drummer...

[@Faven2011]

This is the one drummer who I'd love to jam with, and so much respect he has for Randy Rhoads.

[@jamesf3997]

A class act

[@vincentm.masiello8545]

He is very smart man, a true musician. Man that didn't sell out.

[@SaadSinno]

Back ground music is by Patrick Rondat respect to Mr. Aldridge and Mr. Rondat

[@flashy5150]

are you serious???? that is f-ing awesome!! Tommy is the best drummer to me. If there was a drummer that I would want to play with, it would be Tommy and/or Alex Van Halen. Cheers

[@bigroy38]

Tommy doesn't age,does he?

[@JasonSaulnier]

Cool interview with Tommy. Awesome.

[@sageantone7291]

Wow, what is the song that he's playing at the beginning???? That's epic!

[@josesoares4580]

O caráter é um baterista do karay!

[@NMRawker]

Awesome drummer, I've been a fan since his BOA days, met him once in Las Cruces, NM when he was playing with Ted Nugent. FYI, just don't hit him up when he's at the pool sunning! LOL!

[@andreybratanov9670]

Hell yea its a Tommy Aldridge!!!! he fucking harsh)))) he is the man!!

[@andreybratanov9670]

Hell yea its a fucking Tommy Aldridge!!!! he fucking harsh)))) he is the man!!

[@rsd338]

[@sageantone7291]

Does anybody have any idea what the first song is? Anybody at all....??

[@michaelstephen819]

How can he be under rated when he's played with some of the biggest names in the business? Drummers are never destined to be household names if that's what you mean.

[@lerohe]
