@@claudiodaddi1984 He's right. Weckl is amazing. So is Lang. So was Neil Peart. So is Portnoy. So is Beauford. So was Buddy Rich. Etc. They all have strengths, they all have weaknesses, they all have styles all their own. No one is better --and it does literally nothing to start pissing matches over who is better than who. It's simply a matter of who speaks to us most through their playing.
NO KIDDING. He shouldn't be using his skills for NORMAL gigs. He needs to get BUMBLEFOOT, and a few other INNOVATIVE wizards to do a modern Mahavishnu Orchestra!
I really enjoyed that Thomas, the cowbell really fits nicely in there and your ride sounds absolutely divine! I'm thinking Paul Prem would think this is just about perfect. Wishing you and the family a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2020. Sending cyber hugs, and a cyber scratch behind the ear for Millie.
I don’t impress easily. However, I’ve been impressed 2x before noon today. One from my friend’s new Audi, and the other was this. This was great taste, feel, musicianship, great part playing and creativity.
WHAT A TERRIFIC SONG! THATS SOME OF THE TASTIEST CHOP FILLED GROOVING WITH GREAT FEELING AND BUTTERY SMOOTH TRANSITIONS IN PLAY I'VE SEEN N HEARD FROM WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE ONE OF THE TOP BEST DRUMMERS ALIVE TODAY. AND, HE'S A GREAT GUY TOO. WAY TO GO MR. T. LANG.🤗🥁🥁🤗
I like watching your videos. This one in particular was a lot of fun. All of your strokes are very deliberate and planned out. Any chance we could have a video of outtakes someday just to prove you’re actually human like the rest of us? 🤣. Nice job Mr. Lang.
Lang is an unmatched technical drummer. In every sense of the phrase. I just feel like there were some points of the song that lended itself to a simple funky groove, where instead Lang decided to overcomplicate the beat. Don't get me wrong. I love Thomas Lang. I bought his first training DVD, and.he has always been an inspiration. But in this one specific instance I feel like he may have let his talent overshadow the music. Just one humble uninformed man's opinion. Love you Thomas. Keep up your mind blowing work!!!! Cheers to all!!
I’m reviewing this video for the same search, so forgive the late reply… He tends to prefer 22” medium weight rides on the drier side. Likely the Vintage Pure or Extra Dry from Meinl, but the color also looks like the Dark line from them… hope that helps!
Late to the party, but I’m doing deep cymbal research and couldn’t agree with you more! Do you know the exact models? They seem like thinner crashes from the Byzance Jazz line…
@@thepluggy1 he used the "Hot Rod Red" kit at drum channel to record live takes of his recent album. That stainless kit was there too. Because of a different wood used in the shell, he could have gone with slightly different dimensions. Different woods give different sounds. Just saying that black kit could be vastly different than his "Hot Rod Red."
@@RickK1988 there is one thats about 3 years old, its a black kit, so it could be that one actually, its in a 3 part series, he goes into a lot of detail i think.
I think I've figured out how each of his limbs have perfect Independence. He has four brains and each one controls a different limb. That's the only conceivable way someone could do something like this
