Drumeo loves daring drummers to learn songs on the spot - especially if it's in a style they don't normally play. International clinician Thomas Lang is one of the only pros we've challenged who really isn't confined to one or two genres: he plays everything from fusion to metal.
We asked him to learn "Lux Æterna" from Metallica's 2023 album 72 Seasons. As fast as possible.
(He'd never heard the song before, but we did let him listen to the original drum part to see if he could quickly replicate it!)

@arqz4821 6 месяцев назад

Wouldn’t exactly say he nailed it, he nailed DT’s actual songs, but he failed in one sector. They gave him an unknown prog riff, and he had to come up with his own drum part as fast as possible, now thats where his young arrogance got the best of him and thats also how Dream Theater did not select him. He’s definitely more mature, still an absolute unit of a drummer. He was arrogant and usually showed off at a young age, but now he really professionally display’s the level he truly is on without ruining the song, but rather by serving it

@lingonberriesofwrath1836 4 месяца назад

@@arqz4821 He did nail that audition. The video of the audition that Dream Theater chose to show was edited in a way so that Mike would appear to be the superior drummer. But all of the other drummers were technical equals. Knowing Thomas work, that he would have trouble with DT stuff is impossible. It's just that they showed clips where he would come off as having problems. I'm pretty sure you could edit that video in a way so that Mike would seem like a total noob.

You can never underestimate the importance of a lead sheet - I once got booked for a recording where the artist sent me some rough demos without drums. I wrote out the lead sheets and got some ideas for parts to play for the rehearsal the next day. Turned up to the studio and found out that there'd been a miscommunication - it wasn't a rehearsal, it was the recording! I had to make up my parts on the spot based on a few listens, and without those lead sheets we would have been there for days. Always be prepared!

I like how he incorporated the ride cymbal. The riff is reminiscent of Kill Em All and Lars used the ride quite a bit on that album

@Metalgooze Год назад

Agree! I really miss the ride cymbals, now completely omitted from Lars' kits. I have always liked him as a drummer but my biggest gripe would be the over use of china and completely sacrificing the ride.

Thomas Lang’s take on this song is just so much more interesting to listen to because of this 👌🏻

@eggysauce Год назад

Lars mentions he doesn't like the feel and the pingy characteristic of ride cymbals. Last time he ever used one was on Fixxxer's first live performance not too long ago. I miss the ride, glad Lang's used it here. Fits great!

the best part is seeing someone use his own language for crib sheets, like many of us do.

This is great stuff.

Lars is much more than a drummer. If it hadn't been for Lars, Metallica wouldn't be here today. He gets way too little credit for that. He might not be the best drummer out there, but he's the best drummer for Metallica.

@@Kermithimself Lars is very probably the best band leader of all time. He structures and composes all their songs, he's James's road girlfriend, for decades he was the only adult with any idea of what success would look like in the band. Lars deserves more than he gets from the Metal and music communities in general.

@@Kermithimself I often feel Lars doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He developed a very unique drumming style that inspired a whole generation of drummers. Sure, a lot of people play cleaner and faster, but as demonstrated in this video, that's not at all what it's all about.
