The old man's still got it

I'm not really a drummer, but damn....

Tommy brings it .
Seen him a few times and that fucking guy is solid as they come.

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

Ya he has always been solid and a beast!

 

[Racerxrated]

Saw him with Whitesnake a while back, he was probably in his mid 60s and he was great. Still did that solo where he plays without sticks for most of it....incredible.

I know many won't notice or care... but I do lol... Tommy is playing it wrong.. not even chipping the high hat and is cheating by using a second bass drum...

This guy gets it

 

[hammered]

Tommy did a drum intro on the live version of It Makes No Difference in `79 that sounds like a sped up version of what Lee would later do on Over The Mountain

 

[SgtThump]

He is a monster at that style! He “drives” bands and makes it easy for the rest of the players.

 

[Kelly]

I'd much rather listen to Lee Kerslake than Afro Aldridge.

 

[JohnnyGtar]

His timekeeping is solid as the rock of Gibraltar!

Slow grooves on drums are hard to play well. Tommy nails this Pat Travers tune. He's got pocket and listen to that hi-hat work!

I wonder how Tommy feels getting outta bed in the morning.
His back must’ve taken a beating over the years.
Always loved him. Solid as a rock.

Just proves that playing music does indeed keep you young at heart ! Tommy's a powerhouse!

I think it was him that I read about how on tour, they will drop him off with his bicycle like 20 miles away and he would ride to the next location to stay in shape.

May be thinking of someone else, but I think it was him.
