Tommy Aldridge reveals a new platform

Author Benedetta Baldin - 22.1.2026

The renowned heavy rock drummer Tommy Aldridge has formally soft-launched his new website, AldridgeWorld.com, which will act as the main source for information on his projects and career as well as official news and new music, as per Blabbermouth. Direct access to information about Aldridge’s legacy and ongoing work from Aldridge and his team is made possible by the website.

You can see the personal video message Aldridge sent to commemorate the soft launch and thank fans for their steadfast support.

An exclusive audio preview from Aldridge’s first video interview in 2026 is also available on the website. In the video, Aldridge discusses how collaborating with some of the finest guitarists of his time—John Sykes, Randy Rhoads, Reb Beach, and Steve Vai—shaped his career.

Randy was the guitarist I always wanted to record with. Sadly, that opportunity never arrived.

As soon as supporters join the AldridgeWorld interest list, they can hear Aldridge talking about legendary guitarists. Later on, the entire interview will be made public.

Fernando Cordero of Industrialism Films shot the announcement video at Joel Jack Studio in Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country, California. Robert Scott of Phantom Four edited it and provided graphics.

The website will be the official source for announcements, releases, and merchandising, even if official videos will still be posted on Aldridge’s OfficialAldridgeWorld YouTube account. In 2026, a number of significant announcements are anticipated.

The Pat Travers Band, Black Oak Arkansas, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Gary Moore, and Vinnie Moore are among Aldridge’s most well-known collaborations. In 1981, he joined Ozzy Osbourne‘s solo band. He later made appearances on the live albums “Speak Of The Devil” and “Tribute” as well as “Bark At The Moon” (1983). Tommy initially made an appearance on the band’s 1989 album “Slip Of The Tongue” after joining Whitesnake in 1987 to replace drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Aldridge continued to be an important member of Whitesnake until their official retirement in November 2025. Aldridge went on to record six studio albums with the band.
