First Reign "This Ghost Of Ours" Drum Play-Along By Sean Lang

[MundoDragon]

he's good, but the song has absolutely no structure. it jumps around entirely too much. sounds like it could have been a medley that wasn't transitioned very well.

[LegendOfTheSeekerSVK]

5:52 ow shittt

[LegendOfTheSeekerSVK]

this is too crazy to remember *.*

[jamesrrdrew]

Is he related to Thomas Lang?

[GwilsonDrums]

sheldon cooper disliked this video because sean looks like will wheaton

[TheRaVaGeHITMAN]

love the song except for the vocals, not much of a screaming person myself

[JailBreakingKing]

double base drum sounds sick

[ValpSnor]

2 persons couldn't see the video.

[SupraJin]

will wheaton, everyone!

[thomasjack399]

[busterbox]

Sick.

[MultiAnimeGeek]

[HarnessDavid]

@MultiAnimeGeek You're right, it is! But just slightly as far as I can see

[MultiAnimeGeek]

@HarnessDavid Hehe! =D

[DoubleBassNikko]

OMG great playing man!

[trenton2112]

[Megagiraffeabortions]

[toxicityno]

[jdc185]

[MeSoHornyMeSoStupid]

[HarnessDavid]

[8080Ace]

[MASSRCOR]

[HarnessDavid]

@lbpeppers French

[kkkeikurono]

[RECO9515]

@kkkeikurono looks like axis a longboard

[HarnessDavid]

@kkkeikurono Classic Black Axis Longboards. Not sure if you can get them anywhere besides their website.

[johnston1993]

class! never heard much about him till i saw this :)

[extremehockeyfan]

i just saw this guy and 4 other bands at a concert today :D

[TheNizz247]

can somebody post the lyrics plz?

[jibbythegreat]

What china is that?

[Kudan26]

I dont like that bass drum sounds :S

it doesnt sounds like a drum XD

well that´s to me, the cover is epic

well

it should be lol he is the actual drummer

btw what china is that?

[weemarkarr]

@Kudan26 Its just the style for metal, hardcore, or anything that uses double kick eccessively. Its becomes a dull drone without the high end "click".....The more you know =D

[ManOnTheEdge0]

@Kudan26 Exact model I can't really tell, but it's definitely a Sabian

[Kentsuruki]

god his set sounds so awsome

i fucking love his bass drum and snare

[infirmusisdrums]

@Kentsuruki triggers can do that broo

[SnowboardingXXXQueen]

@infirmusisdrums still i think his set sounds awsome

side question

how can you see someones using triggers?

[royrand]

pure shit music...bunch of crazy nuts creating noise

[nicolaepanfilii]

@royrand go listen your fucking dumb JUSTIN BIEBER!

[royrand]

@nicolaepanfilii..you are another piece of shit. I listen to drummers like Gadd and Weckl. I only knew justin bieber after you mentioned his name. why dont you suck his dick and have the threesome with this dumb drummer in this video too.

[seanlame]

@royrand You've had either a) waaaaay too much coffee or b) a bad case of the mondays, everyday for quite a while

[nicolaepanfilii]

@seanlame he is retarded, he don't understand nothing in music

[nicolaepanfilii]

@royrand gtfo hater and suck your Justin's cock, if he had it!

[Mundt4994]

@royrand i'd like to see you do this as cleanly as he does... in fact i'd like to see you make any sort of attempt at it... cause i'm sure you wouldn't even come close to this is at all. suck a dick

[fafifu4]

its a Gibraltar double pedal? im never see it..

[skillnub70]

@fafifu4 Axis Longboards.

[xxxsk8er15xxx]

@jobo99999 it looks like hes was a ninja for a sec

[LaughingOutKraut]

I don't care too much about his drumming, although it seems decent. But man, that kit sounds brilliant!

[seattlehawkins]

@LaughingOutKraut The kit does soud great! (KNOT mat)

[dumbdrummer95]

What kind of drums and equipment does he use? I've never seen all wood bass drum hammers before.

[dumbdrummer95]

This guy is really good! Its too bad his band isn't more famous. Its sad sometimes to see talented musicians and bands that don't get any attention.

[bomberlink]

Im glad you guys had sean on, im sure for a lot of people he helped them out, he helped me incorporate some blast beats in to my own songs as well....

[Cristlefrost]

so many years of work, but one day it'll be all worth it when you can play like this guy XD

[KillerFrettchen]

4:50 through 5:20 is pure bad-ass!

Great to see that there are metal drummers out there who keep it creative instead of just showing off how fast they can play doublebass all day long!

Though there's no doubt this guy has some amazing doublebass skill.

I wish my timing was as tight as his... but I've got a long way to go.

[1234fivesixseven8]

what mics do you use dude?

[1234fivesixseven8]

is he sponsored by axis aswell as casey?

[rodrigopadrini]

jesus



[thezildjianlover]

3:40-3:50= amazing.

[dannyboi9891]

i fuckin love the way this dude blasts

[Statix94]

what is his foot technique?

sometimes heel-up..or does he play just with his ankles when he plas fast?

[seanlame]

@Statix94 Heel up for slow parts, flat-foot for faster parts

[666evilkoala]

im proud to say this video made me jizz myself XD

[freekpill2009]

holy shit this awesome best vid ive seen

[freekpill2009]

holy shit this awesome

[Honzishek]

he is good but he is boring ....

[666evilkoala]

@Honzishek lol well what the fuck do you want him to do? hes kinda got his hands and feet busy at the moment XD

[drummer4life54]

i wish i had mics on my drum set

[clubmoto]

did he ever explain his pedal settings? Cause i have axis al-2's to but when i switch from the sonic beater i cant get the settings right. my right pedal works great and my slave doesnt hardly work at all.

[fightclub94]

Hey, what cymbals are you using? Are they all Sabian HH's and HHX's?

[ImperialstarTama]

@fightclub94 At least one crash is an Paiste SIgnature i think in 18"

[fightclub94]

@ImperialstarTama Yeah, you're right. Thanks!

[dredgmo]

My favorite Canadian metalers!

[SomeoneWitSkill]

hey wat kit is this like what wood

[Playero909]

@SomeoneWitSkill its a casey...they have it for sale at wwwDOTdrummerstoreDOTcom

[bobMcFreddyKrugerson]

what was he doing at the 3:40 - 3:48 section, it looked like double strokes but he was also hitting the hats, i dont know the stick pattern

[skillnub70]

Flam tap, without the flam. So right and left at same time, then a right. Then left and right together, then a left. Crappy explanation, check out flam tap and that's the closest to what he's doing.

[bobMcFreddyKrugerson]

@skillnub70 yea I went on their official web site and learned some stuff from this drummer and your explaination is just fine thx

[Nergaldrummer]

@bobMcFreddyKrugerson

it's a "cheat" to do the classic blast beat. He explains it in the vid: [Heavy Metal Drumming & Blast Beats Drum Lesson (Live Broadcast #15)]

look at 45:00 of this vid!

[bobMcFreddyKrugerson]

@Nergaldrummer lol Blast Cheats, i watched their live thing i figured it would answer my question

[Nergaldrummer]

@bobMcFreddyKrugerson yeah sorry i don't know how to say that correctly in english, i'm french xD

[Neji1210]

Man, this guy is a freakin' beast!

[seanlame]

@kkkenshinnn no, closer to halfway

[kkkenshinnn]

is the variable drive lever in in the heaviest position?

[seanlame]

@GamerMiles tell your friend to upload his cover... I'd honestly love to see it, that would be so rad!

-Sean Lang

[GamerMiles]

lol just had a friend tell me this guy sucked and didn't know how to play This Ghost Of Ours, and that he did a better cover.... I proceeded to tell him it was the drummer of First Reign and he just shut down.... made me LOL!

[mairava1996]

The bass drum sounds so much like lars ulrichs bass drum esp in and justice for all kit

[FirstReign]

Yes. Sean is the drummer for First Reign. And no this isn't First Reign's youtube account, Haha. My brothers in the band and a long time ago I made this account because I really look up to him and the band.

[Spacecowboyy]

few things seemed to have changed. im guessing you guys took out that little melody you used to have at 3:33. i remember in your old practice video there was a cool little melody there. not that it's bad now. still sounds amazing man.

[Ezekiel06]

That was INTENSE!

[neverine2000]

the section starting around 5:00 is my favorite, really awesome!

[Tressco]

Killer!!

[dor44]

Sick intro!!!

wow you guys are amazing doing all these latest covers!

ive really enjoyed watching them

they are really common and i have actually tried playing them by myself but this really give me a clear mind on how they are supposed to sound like :D

thanks guys amazing job keep up the good work!

[daugystikproductions]

probably my favorite play along, I was thinking that he had to have put so much work into this cover, then I saw someone say that he is first reign's drummer, and I was just like "oh, that makes sense" absolutely awesome though, favorited

[wdreamsmaycome]

@upurbox don't forget also how he set up his drumkit very ergonomically, right heights for drums & cymbals, compact with everything within easy reach, that is also key for being able to play fast and stay relaxed.

[Tuberidin01]

2:54 is about as fast as I can play double bass. I am working very hard on getting faster but I playing clean is important to me. Does anyone have some "beginner" metal songs for me to play along to so I can build up my endurance and speed?

I've been playing some old school Metallica and Anthrax songs because that's all I have currenltly in my music selection. 4:22 on was intense. I love all the different ideas he threw in. Very clever playing and oops I think I just threw up again dammit!!!!

[Spakeinator]

try practicing simple double bass rudiments over and over. you'll be surprised at how much it improves your speed, endurance, and cleanliness. for example, try doing RLR on the double bass then pause. then do another RLR then pause. do those little triplets and then switch to LRL. repeat. then try to see how fast you can do those little "blasts" with a decent pause in between. then add another "stroke" in there by doing RLRL. build up the speed and repeat. just a way that helps me.

[maddog24618]

I always just picked a song with a tempo close to what my double bass speed was and just played straight double bass all the way through. Its way more fun than playing with a click.

[SystematicChaos08]

@Tuberidin01 hi mate =). you could try painkiller by judas preist. the start of it is wayyyy to fast but after a few seconds the drummer plays the double bass at half the speed he played at the start =) hope i helped

[Tuberidin01]

0.00 through 0:16 was so RAD that you played that and came in perfectly with the music. Alright tell the truth, your the drummer for First Reign and the band was in the room playing with you. I really enjoy watching you play the drums. You inspire me. I love all styles of drumming but I really want to learn how to play metal. Man its tough stuff.

[LifegrindX]

Holy shit...really inspiring.

[12345noel]

wow man u are quick on ur hands man i cant even move that fast

[Klawblach]

Am I right to say this isn't necessarily a cover? Isn't he the actual drummer for the band First Reign?

[freedrumlessons]

You're totally right...I will change it :)

[MaggotMuncher96]

@freedrumlessons what kind of pedal is he using in this video? it looks like Axis longboards or even Trick pedals please reply soon!

[kornfanatic1303]

@MaggotMuncher96 He's using Axis LongBoards, super awesome pedals btw

[MaggotMuncher96]

@kornfanatic1303 thats what i thought they were but i wasnt sure cause i couldnt see the Axis logo so i tought they were trick

[TubaVallopi]

@freedrumlessons What kind of sticking pattern did you play at 5:54 ?? when your hand alternated from snare to hi hat?? i really want to know so bad :D, really cool, thx

[kornfanatic1303]

@TubaVallopi RRLLRRLL - The top row is the snare the bottom is the High Hat :) L  R L R

[kornfanatic1303]

@TubaVallopi Oops I meant, The top row is snare the bottom is the High Hat :)

RRLLRRLL

L  R L R

[TubaVallopi]

@kornfanatic1303 Ok thx a lot man :D

[LifegrindX]

Yeah, he is.

[BAkos]

I just checked and you are right; yeah, Sean Lang is the drummer of First Reign.

[Skater12341294]

@Klawblach

Cover/Demonstration???

[ricbtst]

@Klawblach u can still cover ur own song

[seanlame]

I'm using a sabian apx 18" china

[BAkos]

Holy shit, he freaking nailed this song - and it's a really hard one! Amazing, especially those blast beats!

Hey, can anyone tell me what kind of china is he using? I can see it's a Sabian, but what model?

[n1ghthawkx]

drums are NOT too loud..;-) I like it as it is...great job

[Nagraath]

Horrible song, good drummer.

[seanlame]

@Nagraath Ouch

[alxovalle]

wow his foot technique is something ive never seen...

[jeffrofals]

Some of the best double bass drumming I've ever seen.

[theexadorrules]

His technique rocks and he is just and all around great drummer. No facial expression...Very talented can't tell whether he is into it or not lol

[dforcefan1213]

You're not by chance related to thomas lang are you? You guys both shred!!

[skillnub70]

That's what I keep wondering o.o

[Sanisfaction]

I ADORE the sound of that base! are those wooden beaters? ö damn this is some awesome drumming ! I love this style =D

[mathowlett]

Good lord !! I feel so very very very crap now !!

This guy really knows his stuff !!! hubba !!

[DominicMoffitt56]

[DominicMoffitt56]

[Shlyer]

[Centyration91]

Incredibly awesome playing.

[p455i0n]

[kyle5670]

[CannibalXdeth25]

Woah dude! I saw first reign back in October, Pretty Cool to see a local band on here.

[fermar92]

[seanlame]

@fermar92 I'm using a 18" Sabian APX in this video

[fermar92]

@seanlame Thanks a lot! Greetings from Spain. You rock dude!

[Boobumoog]

what kind of drum head is he using?

[mrcanavan]

Excellent playing, nice track.

[syth506]

what pedal is that yamaha?

[seanlame]

@syth506 axis longboards in classic black

[mortaldrumming]

superb drumming!!!!!

[mintcu70]

That was great. You can tell he's VERY experienced at how he plays of course, and how his face looks like throughout the whole performance.

[SomeoneWitSkill]

i kno im going to sound dumb and stupid but, the beater looks like those creamy orange mint things lol i kno im weird

[thatguy5814]

the beater? haha

[ETONG49]

i want my bass drum to sound like his! It sounds like demon bubble wrap exploding

[born2kill08]

lol you should get someone to help

[sajten]

@ETONG49 Maybe u need to tune it

[sk8erboy182]

@ETONG49 triggers

[Maxarcc]

@ETONG49

same here, how the hell do you tune your bass drum like that?? :( :(

[allmetaliswelcome]

@Maxarcc they are triggers....

[miniwargamereric]

re-dick-you-freaking-liculous

[dorkytwo]

drumming is awesome, but sound of the video is pretty bad, maybe it's just me :O

[SonicOrbStudios]

yea usually they mix fairly good but this one the drums are way too loud

[freedrumlessons]

We always mix it drum heavy since 95% of the people who watch the vids are drummers and wanna to try and learn by watching...thanks for the feedback!

[charliehd123]

@freedrumlessons ..He/She's Probably A Guitarist.. Bloody Guitarists =P

[drumnbass00]

yeah i see why you would mix extra drums, but they do overpower the track a bit much.

[dorkytwo]

@SonicOrbStudios I was talking about overall quality of the sound, not the mix :). I am watching this now again and seems that youtube player was crippling the sound the previous time, now it's perfect :)

[allmetaliswelcome]

@SonicOrbStudios to me this sounds normally for metal.

[SonicOrbStudios]

awesome stuff. I could never play that complex fast metal type music

[ETONG49]

you could, it would take practice.

[SomeoneWitSkill]

@SonicOrbStudios

ya this guy has been playing for 13 years for hours a day, he is crazy good

[camalan09]

great!!!!

[camalan09]

great!!!
