Thomas Wydler (born 9 October 1959), is a Swiss musician, best known as the drummer of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, which he has been a member of since 1985.

The band released their debut album, Burnin' the Ice, the following year, featuring lyrical and vocal contributions from Nick Cave.

Wydler joined Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in 1985 and made his recording debut with the band on the 1986 album Kicking Against the Pricks.

Due to unspecified health problems, Wydler did not tour with the band from around 2013, but he remains a member of the group and has contributed to all subsequent studio albums.

[2] Founding Bad Seed Barry Adamson temporarily rejoined the group during this era as a drummer, given that many of the band's newer songs were arranged for two percussionists.
