[eprotz]

What a shame Dream Theater did not choose him.

[TheRythmatist]

@eprotz i wonder, what mike mangini would do with the same song.

[tommasotemporin]

@eprotz thomas lang and virgil donati were too much for DT

[snooters]

Wonder when he changed to matched grip.

[howycwap]

@snooters

it may have something to do with his carpal tunnel, thats just a guess

[nicksib911]

@snooters I read an interview with him in modern drummer magazine where he states that he just decided that he liked matched better. This is not an exact quote but he said something like "i suddenly realized that i was playing traditional as my main grip because i was always taught that way" and he goes on to say he thinks matched makes more sense to him because with traditional you have to learn to different kinds of stick techniques and other things. not sure i agree but he's still great

[snooters]

@nicksib911 Interesting, I figured that would be the reason. I'm trying to move to matched grip for practical reasons. At this point my left hand is extremely weak with moeller strokes. Traditional grip, I can do it without even thinking. This is a slow process!

[nicksib911]

@snooters Ha i have the same problem except reverse, I've always played matched but i've been trying to learn traditional and it's tough. It's slow for me too

[Legoman19892]

I would assume this is a song Thomas wrote. What is it...?

[dangerrat456]
