Happy Birthday, Tommy Aldridge!
Real talk. Tommy hits drums like they owe him money, he’s LOUD. This unwavering personality and attitude have landed him in the seat with bands such as Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne and Thin Lizzy to name a few.
We check out some of his career highlights, with his powerhouse playing style and incredible hairstyle!

By all means, enjoy the full video, but skip to 4:40 to watch a man in his (then) mid 50’s absolutely tear the HOUSE down!

Take a drink every time Tommy spins his sticks…
Tommy Aldridge – PASIC 2019
Here’s Tommy only a few years ago, at 70 years old still proving he can hit drums hard and play like the true rock and roll icon he is!
Tommy really made his mark on the drumming market when he released his signature Promark sticks. These are effectively baseball bats with the Promark branding on them – but they’ll for sure give your arms a good workout.
Happy Birthday to a wonderfully gifted drummer, whose energy, talent and hairstyle we all secretly wish we could pull off at that age!
