He is credited with developing the double-bass drumming technique, later adopted by countless Hard Rock, Metal and Thrash drummers in the 1980s. After a three year stint with the Pat Travers Band, appearing on 5 albums, Tommy joined Ozzy Osbourne's newly formed band in 1981. In the mid-80s, Tommy played with a variety of acts, most notably Whitesnake. Always in demand, he has more recently toured with Thin Lizzy and Ted Nugent, but rejoined Whitesnake early 2013.
