Jealous F**k !!!!

from episode 8 - season 1 of Tomtomtime.

Free Radicals

"Free Radicals" is a black-and-white animated film short by avant-garde filmmaker Len Lye. Begun in 1958 and completed in 1979, Lye made the film by directly scratching the film stock. The resulting "figures of motion" are set to music by the Bagirmi tribe of Africa.

Doug Clifford

Happy birthday Cosmo.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Doug "Cosmo" Clifford (born April 24, 1945 in Palo Alto, California, U.S.) played drums in the American rock band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. After CCR broke up, Clifford and former CCR bassist Stu Cook (who was born a full day after Cosmo Clifford) joined Don Harrison in the Don Harrison Band and also issued a solo album. In 1995, Clifford and Cook formed the band Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

Here's a video of images of him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFJc-goqO9c

Due to copyright laws they took the audio off. Good time to play some CCR on the stereo.

Bulgaria Drum Solo

"The goal of this drumset composition was to get at the inner turmoil george lucas faced during the 16 year gap between the space opera RETURN OF THE JEDI and the amazing release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The 16 year period started off kind of rough, then went through a few things, then builds, and then climatically reaches the pinnacle of sweet desire with the realization that amazing light saber duels can, and in fact will be, acheived for the masses and enjoyed by young padawans worldwide."

Huh?

Han Bennink

Happy Birthday to the great Han Bennink. He is certainly the greatest and most famous drummer we have had on the Tomtomtime TV show. That clip is not available for viewing right now, but here are some other clips of the man in action:
