Thomas Lang gives you a tour of his carbon-fiber wrapped PDP Concept Series kit 

And sip coffee. Or beer.

He can play progressive death metal, and be bop jazz too. His skills are pretty infinite

Except the dream theater gig.

And one of those gigs could probably be a stand-up routine.

@@camodrums 🤣

I totally agree, what a fantastic artist with a super sunny, funny and modest personality. Hope he comes to Finland some day!

@@A-ZoneG4ming Challenge him to footwork batle 🤣🤟

Thomas Lang is like the Mick Jagger of drummers. 8:40

Biggest drummer? What do you mean about that?

meh..

Churr Doii Drumma he can make air sound good

@@matthewmayuiers Agreed..

Potwheelz tony and Dave are about equal with Thomas Lang in terms of technical skill. Writing and creativity is another story.

A cardboard box is an excellent sounding kik!! With a little EQ of course..😃

Potwheelz You definitely are a bassist. You have no idea what you just said... this dude has so much technique. I know a guy who mixes music for professional musicians like tony rooster and Thomas and he showed me a bit last week that he is working on for Thomas Lang and he said that it was so easy to mix his set bc he is so accurate and he has so much dynamics when he plays. All those little things you see that he has on his kit have a purpose and a place. He isn’t a drummer he’s a musician. Dude you obviously need to practice more and know what your talking about before you open your mouth about drumming.

Chris L I don’t know if TL was joking but I really did think they were talking kits til he got to 22.

Haven’t I seen you in Samus’s chat?

@@carson6000 yeah probably 🤘

Chris L aii 666sammus

The more drums the more rolls

He could've easily gone into "Take Me Home"

I can feel it coming in the air tonight...

I didn't realize that this was a PDP kit until I read the comments. Kudos to DW for providing such an awesome kit under a budget.

Bammm !!!

Definitely Terminator.

"i got the best chops sirs" instead of get to the choppa!

Throw some standard heads on there, or put some sealant on the mesh heads for a better acoustic sound.

I used a broken Yamaha DTXplorer kit (only the dull thud of plastic as you say) for years and years before I had my own acoustic kit, if you care enough about the craft you can practice on anything.

@@t3hgir A good practice set is kids drums with mesh heads. Hauls around the house easy.

I can still a legend in my own mind !

X D

Hahaha

Tony Gorga 😂😂😂

No one wll ever sound like Thomas Lang.

On the gong drum I thought he was doing rimshots...That might explain the sound...But I could be wrong.

Rimshot is what I thought also. The head of the drum is down deep in the ring, making the rim shots almost automatic.

@@Beerbatter1962 😃

IKR, wtf is that klangy sound? It's like one of the legs is loose.

@@Beerbatter1962 Looks like a wood hoop though. Likely a trigger.

Two of those pedals cost more than the drums. And he has how many, six of them?

$2k on his left, $1K on his right! Crazy!!! Not to mention the hi-hat pedals!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Maximilian Schütze I’ll never afford those pedals too...

The sound of the drums is kind of metallic, but I like the bassdrum most.

Claimed $800 or so 7-piece kit… but countless thousands in mounts, pedals, and cymbals! Time to take out a second mortgage.

Him and Gavin Harrison.

Mike Mangini and Thomas Imo

Marco minnemann too

@@aryanmohapatra9984 pass on that

Thomas plays circles around Donati, sorry....

Thomas is over the top sensational for sure, but do check out Donati playing Dog Boots sometime, or Earth (that he wrote with Allan Holdsworth.)

Jesus plays drums? Cool!

@@DrummerGrrrl not anymore

I think skill-wise, Thomas has an edge on Neil, but Neil was Neil... poet, investigator, student, artist. Simply two masters. Both would likely be humbled with a comparison to each other.

Yeh I herd about 🥁Neil 😢 Pete ☹️, Yeh it sucks that he Died Miss my Older Sister as well but we all come to an end ☹️Sucks😢 I know from all the Drummers I meet at Drumtek Melbourne Victoria. I Remember meeting Derek Roddy, a Really Nice person haven't meet Thomas Lang or Tony Royster or Eric Moore yet, but maybe one day if I'm 🤔Lucky?🤔. But I doubt it will happen anytime soon?, it was way Easier back in 🥁 Dom Famularo Thomas Pridge Virgil Donati days in 1999🥁, & 🥁2010 Derek Roddy Mitchell Barker & other's🥁 co'z I could still Afford 🥁Drumtek🥁 tickets... & that's were I remember becoming what I'm Thankful for & my Teacher Kevin McGrath, saying look I can not teach U because U play by ear, so teaching you by notes will never work for U 👂👂👂 & today , playing Drum set's still have them, & still Love Drums🥁🥁...

Roxette passed away as well☹️😢☹️. That is sad coz I love Rock music from the 80's like Van Halen album, Def Leppard Hysteria album, the Eagles album, Roxette, Jerry Harrison, George Harrison, album's, Top Gun album, poison album, Icehouse album,,, Paul Simons album,,, Starship album, & many others like INXS and the list goes from the 80's Rock.

what a strange comment...why should they...? - if you have the right attitude you will get inspired

Just makes me want to go to the woodshed and work on "stuff!' The guy is just amazing and an inspiration even to us "old dogs."
