He's pretty good, but would be better if he added the Pointy Stand to his bag of tricks. And I might be wrong, but I don't think he did any Throw-and-Click moves.
He is the best drumer of the world. I think that no one can compared with him !!!! Finally i love to watch thomas lang play the drums. it music for my ear.
b-rah-voh. I'm best described as a rank beginner in the world of percussion, and am thus only beginning to understand real musical techniques (I'm a lure-ee from the dark world of Brass instruments, where they only think they know musical techniques). I had this suspicion fairly early on that a lot of percussion, especially set work and marching band drum line work was more show than actual insanity. It's good to see that I was not mistaken. Now time to practice those twirls.
To me, doing stick tricks is something that you should try if you basically have everything else down and can't think of anything else to do to make the performance more interesting. That's just my opinion.
love you Thomas Lang...you know a lot about entertainment ....teaching is a gift you also have.But you already knew that right? You are so.....Guapisimo!
To clear up some confusion : Yes, he is using triggers. No, he would destroy Luke Holland AND Adam Gray combined, those guys are more about tricks then skill, where Thomas is more about skill yet he still incorporates tricks. Thomas does NOT suck, seriously if you even think that, just turn off your computer and go drink some drain cleaner.
There's no one on earth that can walk away from a Thomas Lang demo and say to themselves, "I learned some stuff that I can really apply to my drumming."
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
@JustMeLittleMc dude i strongly agree with what u said, although you have to take into account, that he uses a lot a doble pedal and that gives the impression that he's doin' a lot of stuff.
I'm absolutely blown away by this guy, madly technical as all hell. People say he's the man to replace Portnoy in Dream Theater, but honestly as much as I love and respect Portnoy for his skills, Thomas Lang is too good for them.
@anticannobis Lol....who? Aww he's alright I s'pose...don't get me wrong, everyone's got a different idol in drumming, it's just when you get fanboys of one player constantly spamming AND putting down others without giving a second thought that THAT is when it makes it look bad...I mean really, we're all drummers whether professionals or not.
But you're right....in this video here, Thomas Lang is definitely showing some mad skills!
whenever i want to overcome confusion patterns,doing quarter notes,eight notes,sixteenth,32nd notes combined I watch and admire Steve Smith,steve Gadd,Dave Weckel whenever I want to have confidence and show some passion to drumming stick tricks I watch and admire Thomas Lang,whenever I want to be good in double bass I watch Mike Portnoy! well, drumming is enjoyed having inspiration to them!
I knew it. funny, heard this cat's name for years. always assumed he was American ( thomas Lang? come on......oh well, 'ya never know huh? lol) anyway, cool. he's a kraut! love it! ha-ha. dudes bad ass man!
me ajudem a entrar em contato c/ o thomas lang por favor!!!!vejam meus videos no youtube (thomas lang minha maior influencia) por favor comentem e divulguem.....abraço.
