![]() Tommy Aldridge (Ozzy Osbourne & Many Others) There are few players that bring such an aggressive, dynamic, and exciting performance behind the kit as the great Tommy Aldridge! Even at 75 years old, the man hits the drums harder than most and is an absolute whirlwind behind his massive double-bass Yamaha kit. By far the biggest kit of all the drummers who joined, his kit choice was as big as his dynamics.

In the video, you’ll notice how his performance with Billy and Phil takes a groovy, choppy twist as his skills influenced the other guys to give him space to chop it up and bring serious groove and feel to the tune. The gorgeous Cherry Amber Fade Pearl Reference One drums he was playing reside in Sweetwater Studios for high-level recording and performance.

Though he typically plays on much larger Ludwig setups, in this video he shows that he doesn’t need a big kit to play some big parts!

Though only 24 years old, Nic brought incredibly interesting and technically impressive parts to his performance with Phil and Billy. The Gretsch USA Custom kit he plays in the video is also from Sweetwater Studios and is not currently a production model. We’ve linked a similar USA Custom kit in case you’re interested in finding a similar kit.
