Thomas Lee Bass (born October 3, 1962) is an American musician and founding member of Mötley Crüe. As well as being the band's long-term drummer, Lee founded rap-metal band Methods of Mayhem, and has pursued solo musical projects.

His family moved to California a year after he was born. He received his first drum when he was four years old, and his first drum kit when he was a teenager.
