Definitely an influence on me as a drummer (I still steal ideas from him). He's a machine and still really fun to watch, too. Love that guy...

I'm just shocked that he can still play like that at 73y/o. It's like he didn't lose anything over the years.

Per the comments for the video, "This legend is 73 years old and still beating those drums like they owe him money"

lol

Perfect. Drumming is not always about "bEaTiNg" them hard, but Tommy does, and he always does it with taste and precision. I'm 52 and I doubt I could survive a Whitesnake gig.

He's the drummer on Ozzy's Tribute - that was THE album that got me in to the scene.

He kills it on those late 70’s Pat Travers Band records. “Live! Go For What You Know” has some amazing drumming on it. He’s an absolute beast.

I was fortunate to see Buddy Rich at about the same age and was literally speechless the whole time.
