Whitesnake - Crying in the Rain with Tommy Aldridge's Drum Solo (Live) 

My fellow metal head, I work in a deli in a small town in California. One day Tommy walked in, didn't realize it the drum god himself in front of me, my bad but i knew his face for some where. I asked a co worker does he remind u of someone and thats when i found out it was him.... Honest to god i see him every week for his sandwich meats and cheese

Tommy Aldridge was 54 Years Old at The Time of this Concert!!!,This Guy is Right Up There With The Greatest Live Rock Drummers of All Time!!!!,and To this Day,at Almost 73 He's Still Beating The Skins Like No Other!!!!,Rock On Tommy!!!!!

One of the wildest and most energetic drum solos I've ever seen. Tommy Aldridge is a machine .

70 years old and still Kicking Ass! Tommy Aldridge is One of the Best of All Time🐍

Tommy Aldridge is a human time machine and will always be untouchable

Absolutely 1 of my favorite whitsnake songs. I know Tommy is the focus but damn Doug is a beast on that 6 string.

I bought Tommy'a Hotlicks video (yes a VHS!) when I was about 19 years old in the 80's. I loved it, but never did I think that 35 years later (now in my 50's) that I would be still worshipping this incredible drummer. Finally got to see him live in London in 2022. Total bucket-list job.

I swear to god, Tommy will be 95 and still rocking out like he's 20.

Tomy Aldrige a master, a legend, a legacy.

Wow!! Tommy is just a monster HOWEVER, Ive never heard David Coverdale sound so good!! MANNN hes on

One of THE best rock drummers EVER!

That’s how you play drums in a rock and roll band!!!! Go Tommy!!!

Cleanest cymbal chokes your gonna find!!!!

Love how Doug played within the original framework of the Sykes solo. He knows perfection when he sees it

How is someone THAT consistenly good on the drums like that? Only gets better.

Say what you want about Coverdale, but he was a genius for surrounding himself and picking the best talent available for each era of Whitesnake...and Aldridge arguably the best rock drummer ever- pure power and so solid...just amazing

Tommy Aldridge is my favorite drummer of all time he is so talented and has so much power WOW !

One of THE greatest drummers in rock history...Tommy Aldridge!!!

Tommy is a monster!!!! The energy...!!!

Whitesnake. Love them. Their gift for performance and execution of rock music is incredible. I love you Tommy, God bless you. My favourite drummer in the WHOLE world. 🐉WHITESNAKE🐉God bless you all and forever.

What a performance! What a guitar solo! What a drum solo! Beasts on stage!

Holding up the Cross of Christ 🙏. Thanks Tommy ❤

Such a killer band...and what a drummer. Unbearably good...

The band sounds great. Tommy has always been a great drummer.

Simply the most Amazing heavy rock drummer alive today. To still be able to play at that intensity level at almost 70 years old is breathtaking.

My speakers just exploded from sheer awesomeness.

70 years old. And still has power.

The amazing thing to me is. I remember listening the Whitesnake as a kid in the mid 80’s to the early 90’s! He was a badass drummer then! He has got to be pushing 70 by now. He has lost nothing and is as badass now as then!! This shit kicks ass makes me want to grow my hair back out and find me another Whitesnake T-shirt live that life again

Keeping the Sykes style and tone alive. Doug is a beast and Tommy is an eternal drum machine in his 70's. Incredibel

Two words........Tommy Aldrige!! Whitesnake is on fire here. Coverdale got's some lungs. Awesome band.

Saw them in 87 with Great White...Tommy is da shit!...🤘🏼

I don't know how Tommy does what he does he is a machine .

These snare hits are like gun shots.. Hell yeah Tommy

He has cut his solo duration by half these days which is fully understandable when you are 69 years old. He is still a machine, in fact I think Tommy is the real Highlander, he seems immortal...

Tommy Aldridge is amazing !!!!

Killer song...insane drums....very cool...

A song I listened to 10 000 times when I was seventeen and it was released. Heavy and groovy at the same time. And even if I am more into Slayer and other more obscure death metal bands this fucking rock so much🔥

Great Drummer 70 years old Coverdale is 65 Both sound amazing

Insane Tommy you rock!!!!

Hands down to Doug ...Ive known hm for years ans is such a great person and musician. My brother always

I saw Tommy play with Pat Travers in the late 70's. Blew me away!

So much energy in his body

That's what's called giving it 110% on that drum solo!!!

Tommy is the best!!!! now and ever!!!!

Never get tired of watching him...Amazing drummer...

Aos 70 anos Tommy Aldridge ai ainda é o METAL GOD da bateria.

Mr. Tommy Aldridge. Respect.

Tommy Aldridge is one of the main pioneers of the double bass drum rock drummers!!!

Incredible stamina for being 70 absolute legend will never be duplicated 🥁🥁🥁

Bare handed solo. Never seen that in all of the concerts I've attended. Love our old school rock. Nothing better.

The dude's an animal! Great song! great drum solo!

When mr Alderdige❤playing no words to explain he’s on fire 🔥

Tommy is a beast!

Fuck.....how good does David Coverdale sound?

I was 20 years old when this music came out. New WHITESNAKE and I was a goner, they became a fast friend !!!

The epitome of a polished routine. Love me some whitesnake !

What’s so amazing about Tommy is the shear number of bands he has played in. And all truly amazing Rock Bands. One of the best and his yrs playing is vast.

Set on the stage 1972 at my high school and seen him with Black Oak. I was 14 OMG blew me away. That was a long time ago.

Best song Whitesnake has every written. Awesome vid.

Cool handplay on the drums..Tommy is so great

Incredible to be at the top of your game for decades, Tommy Aldridge amazing!

When you combine talent, dedication, opportunity, and resources, there are no limits!

Tommy Aldridge has got to be one of the most under-appreciated and under-rated drummers out there.

Two words for WS.... NEVER OLD.. AWESOME...

I've seen a lot of bands and this guy will forever be my favorite.

Tommy Aldridge: totally phenomenal drumming!! An absolute joy to listen to!!

Oh thank you! Tommy Aldridge his the one !

Doug Aldrich is a beast 🤘💀🤘

I saw Tommy Aldridge playing drums for Pat Travers band! Portland, Oregon in 1980. Soloed bare handed!

Think about it, Tommy has been the driving force behind a lot of major rock bands. He is one of a kind and a rock legend. Keep Rockin Tommy!

Those internal mikes really do a good job. Tommy always the kick ass.

Have to put Tommy in the top 5 drummers of all time, seen Tommy with BOA way back in the day and with Ozzy. Love it when he would play his solo with out the sticks and play with his bare-hands 👍

Same stuff he’s been doing for 100 years.....and I would STILL pay to see him. One of the greatest dbl bass players of all time, the guy always shows up to play...HARD!! Love this Whitesnake line up....Coverdale can still get after it.

Tommy is giving a demonstration of how much dedication and hard work it is to be in a top notch hard rock band. He is the best hard rock drummer alive right now and one can see why when they witness a performance like this !!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen them a few times over the years And he has been amazing every time I've seen him

Playing heavy metal in a blues feel...thank you!

Damn! I was not expecting the footage to be that awesome. That's a pretty amazing guitar playing and drumming. Makes me wish that I could have been old enough to see a concert like this at the time.

This whole song is awesome.

Good Lord, Tommy Aldridge was the quintessential arena rock drummer. Still is, last I’ve heard. The guy must be in his seventies and is banging and bashing his drum kit with full abandon. He expends a staggering amount of energy on every gig, yet his performances are always world class and his technique remains solid. No bummer notes coming from him. Same thing can be said of Reb Beach. I had the good fortune to meet Reb when my band opened for Winger at Mystique Casino in Dubuque, Iowa in 2018. Reb is simply amazing. His solo on “Headed For A Heartbreak” was absolutely perfect, essentially note for note from the original recording. Not a wasted sound from him, or anyone else in the band for that matter. Winger sounded as though they were at the top of their game, firing on all cylinders for the duration. And they were still gracious enough to spend some time with me and my band mates before and after their set. I was starstruck when Rod Morgenstein took the time to hang out with me and shoot the breeze about drums, and allowed me to gush for a bit about how he had influenced my drumming over the years. He even signed my snare drum head and took a photo with me. But, I digress….Whitesnake was unstoppable and untoppable throughout the 1980s. They were the biggest, baddest Top 40 metal band on planet earth, no question about it. Guys like Reb Beach and Tommy Aldridge helped to make their live performances become legendary. Much respect to all of them.👍

King of drummers 🥁❤🔥

Tommy, after all these years you are still a powerhouse!!! How do you do it???

Saw Whitsnake live yesterday in Oberhausen, part of The Farewell Tour. Goosebumps. They dont make this kind of music any more. Still it's timeless and heartwarming.

😎👍🇺🇸🥁 TOMMY!!! I miss the Carbon fiber kit bro!

Holy smokes-- this entire video is absolutely amazing!!!!! Good God!!!!!!!!!!

БЕСПОДОБНО!!! Вот это Уровень всех без исключения музыкантов! Величайшая группа на все времена!!!

Thanks for changing the camera angles 20 times per second!!!

another under rated drummer bad ass!!!!!!!

TOMMMY & COZY... Killer Drummers !😉🤟

Blessed to still have his voice! Good job.

Tommy Aldridge the best drummers! Thanks! Beautiful voice and song!

Drummers and bass guitars have always been the meat and potatoes of the band long live rock

Wow! Tommy is a beast. David sounds great. Aldrich shreds. What a fantastic band.

I saw Tommy when he was playing for Ted Nugent and they opened up for KISS. He was using that same kit. I have seen him with so many band and he has rocked in them all. Black Oak, Pat Travers, Ozzy Ozbourn, Whitesnake, even saw him with Gary Moore. He gives his all every night!

Its been a long time since I've watch Tommy's solo's and for an old school drummer he has still got what it takes to be great

Phenomenal performance by the Aldrige brothers.

Amazing solo and couse Tonny Aldridge

Legend. God bless him.

This was absolutely incredible.

One of my all time drum idols. This man is a legend.

"TOMMY ALDRIDGE ON THE DRUUUUUMMMMSSSS!!!!"
