I remember watching this Ozzy concert on MTV back in 1984 and was floored when the drummer ended his amazing drum solo with yet another drum solo...played with his bare hands. Tommy Aldridge is a machine with a beating heart in this clip. Wikipedia says he was a double bass drum pioneer - gotta love that! Watch the clip after the jump.
The solo doesn't begin until about 1:09 into the clip, and the bare hands come out at the 3:40 mark. Well, I guess technically they were already bare - they just had sticks in them.
***SORRY - Looks like the video has been removed from YouTube...but you can get more than a taste of Tommy's skills in this video from from a 1985 drum clinic:
Thanks to druman44 for the upload to YouTube.
