[blueatomx]

I have not kept up with Thomas and this is not his best, but I like the

groove.This is the one I keep checking out....... for the heck of it.

Thomas you are kicking ass in the drum universe unless some

4 legged Alien shows up on the planet .........you are safe in the drum universe.

best regards  gray

[dondinoy]

[erasmorocha]

3:25 SNARE SOUND AMAZING!

[fiertlola1]

@erasmorocha : it's a normal snare sound^^

but he's really good :0

amazing

[xxTreTrexx]

he is amazing. nuff said

[tambulan123]

I want to see him play with tony royster..ye!

[234905780356]

lol playing with tony royster is like challenging einstein to an IQ test

[Giovani22]

Tony royster is good but not like this guy ,this guy is a machine gun he's got other videos doing blast beats some real sick grooves

[Rhys96]

Probably one of the most fluid drummers out there

[visualgroove]

sick!!

[54spiritedwill54]

Thomas Lang is an awsome drummer.

[pionze]

awesome skill

[grebtastic]

zomg i met him

at drumfest in northampton

he is so cool

and he signed a new drumhead i got

[ketamunke]

where are his drums?!

[tommonator]

this things he is hitting are his drums they are acrylic thats why u cant seen them propperley

[Name2012]

i think he said it as a joke,...

[tommonator]

hahaha, i got a thomas lang dvd its brilliant!

[marcosyvictoria]

jajajajajaa

[HYPOMUNKEY]

AMAZING!!!!!!! totally my inspiration, i don't know whether to give up drums or try harder :P, gonna see thomas lang this sunday drumfest birmingham with all the other great drummer's, i mite jump on stage and hump his leg!!

[vashbebop]

I think deep in our hearts, that's what we'd all like to do.

[mindeverynote]

much indeed my friend, much indeed.

[tommonator]

jam is a wicked song! i wish someone would put as a joke on either on here or the video for michael jackson jam: do you wanna get up and Jam

[maharlika329]

i prefer mike johnston..

[utubeworms]

The guy is the all time best.

[alebozzio]

pedal animal!

[aadrums]

You see there are people that see real talent on here...You can tell by the posting..Thomas is a excellent drummer.. If he was shitty do you think Sonor would have him as a endorser? Or AA Meinl? I don't think so.. Comments are welcome, but must be positive... If only he endorsed Ludwig's Super Classic Maple Series or their new Vistalite drum series!! Ludwig is the company to watch!! Great innovative products in the works and available!! Ludwig is the most famous name on drums!!

[BlooBeluga]

1:31 = BOOM

[tommonator]

what a solo form thomas lang!

[miltonjunior00]

meu idolo.!!!!!

[Militantcheese]

that was fucken awsome

[deatwarrior]

does someone have this playalong- track ?? i would love to play it at home

[pagan31569]

The track that Thomas is playing to is "Jam" by Michael Jackson.

[FrannoBaz]

I have the play along... i sequenced it myself its in this vid: /watch?v=X63VWJmUmBM

[hswwsh]

and every one stop saying lang can't groove, ofcourse he can, just because a drummer mostly plays one style of music doens't mean he can't do another, and as four him not playing with soul and not expressing himself trhough his music, maybe this style is how he expresses him self!

[snakesonaplane01]

not as good as nick carbone!

[alfaalfn]

Do anybody know where i can get the "mixed" version of jam, that thomas plays along with in this movie ?

[alfaalfn]

Listen: Thomas Lang is the champ!

The song is perfect. listen how he makes a kind of borring hip-hopbeat funky and just extremely fucking amazing!

[splashy44]

Champ!!??!!..sort of in boxing terms now is it...hahahah!

[18um]

lang is so poor.....=/

[Mahavishnu80]

zzz

his songs on his dvds are awful. he must want to be in a good creative band..hence why Bozzio didnt work out with Korn he thought he was a one man band.

[coltNirvana]

the jeff ryder drum shop? i was there

[frogbeergolfgolf]

Thomas Lang is an awsome drummer. i met him just yesterday he performed at a drum clinic at my drum store he was absolutley amazing.

[splashy44]

he managed to pick the crappyist looking finnish in the whole of the SQ2 sonor range!!...what a PLUM!!

[hswwsh]

he doesn't use SQ2 kit, he uses the sonor x-ray, and i reckon it looks cool

[Kampfhaase]

The X-Ray Kit is a part of the SQ2. You are able to choose when you buy a SQ2 Kit if you want it made out of wood or the acryl

[MEINLcymbals]

Watch more videos at our video section on meinlcymbals com

[M4O2V0Y]

come on he works it in this video... and whats wrong with the background music... at one point micheal jackson was god... somewhere still deep down inside, i still believe it. it just seems like he gets a bit bored with it in the beginning... but he gets into and makes this so much better... so you work it Thomas Lang, you work it.

[77yy770]

i really really really really really like thomas land hes a good drummer probebly the best one i know but the backsong kills it

[Rajthedrummer]

The backing song is Jam by michael Jackson. i dnt suck!!

[SemNomexD]

i agree with likeluke, the back song sux.

Thomas lang rules

[mikeynycla]

sick!!! the best drummer of our time!

[likeluke]

i'll say this.

thomas lang is definitely one of the most technically talented players i've seen.

but on the other hand, that backing beat is lame as shit. you'd think that such a talented player could program something that doesn't sound like a c&c music factory b-side.

[melztrom]

Comparing is GOOD!

[boeingman777]

**sigh** After taking a few minutes to read all of the comments (which I do often to get a good laugh) it's amazing how quick people compare one drummer to the other... Can't we just watch this guy and agree he's pretty freaking awesome?! Which one of you being critical of him has a video to watch of yourself doing better? Awesome video. :-)

[801drummer]

This guy sucks ...Pause ..NOT! :D

[BYSONG]

thomas lang is an awesome drummer..more like a robot but he cant groove

[eman9422]

Do NOT read the following comment

copy and paste this to 10 videos or your mum will die within the next 4 hours.....

[801drummer]

wtf! is a mum?

[LHondrums]

check out Assaf Seewi on youtube. guess he´s pretty unknown but he reminds me of lang. he´s also killer

[StoneinFocus]

yes, bozzio does now play with korn, i know, strange but true.

[marek0086]

hey i go do that....its bout time i made a video.

[182RV92]

NOT HUMANLY POSSIABLE LMAO

wats tht kid made frm recycled plastec bags

[digrumblers]

Wow Terry Bozio doesn't play with Korn you retard.

[TheDestruktor]

You're fucking stupid kid.

[vegetoazul777]

@TheDestruktor your mother fucker bas aver if your playing that you touch only the testicles to your father

[jeffro6533]

Terry does play with Korn. You should do some research before making fun of other people who actually pay attention to the modern drumming world.

[jeffro6533]

Do you know Korn's new drummer, Terry Bozzio. If not, do some research and watch some of his videos. He DOES incorporate musical as well as melodic concepts into his playing.

[brokentrashdrummer]

does terry bozzio plays with korn :o ... din't know that...  damn, they must have a big rehearsel room :o ... to get he's drum in there :p

[Baschdey]

Of course that's great, I'm also practicing this but we shouldn't forget, that that's just sport on drums! Remember the real art of drumming, guys!

[Merokh]

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATZ

[tesshusama]

while he is soloing you can see him playing his main snare which is in the standart position!

[rwp80]

i've been a rock drummer for 11-12 years now. there is no way in hell i could play fast like Lang.

thing is, when i watch guys like Lang i get the feeling that i am a totally different kind of drummer.

these guys are all about the drumming skill, i just play to fit the song im playing to.

take koRn's David Silvera for example. his fast drumming skill level is nowhere near someone like Lang, but I think Silvera is a better drummer because his drumming is INTERESTING and FITS THE MUSIC.

[chynathaw]

totally agreed

[travisbarker000]

drummers like thomas lang can play great solos OR accompany other instruments in a band... it's so hard to play a musical drum solo, so pros like lang aren't just faster than drummers like Korn's drummer, they understand better how to make drums musical by itself OR with a band. That's why Lang is superior to Korn's drummer and also you and I.

[antibulletdodger101]

shut up.

[travisbarker000]

don't cry just because drummers like thomas lang can play great solos OR accompany other instruments in a band... it's so hard to play a musical drum solo, so pros like lang aren't just faster than drummers like Korn's drummer, they understand better how to make drums musical by itself OR with a band. That's why Lang is superior to Korn's drummer and also you and I.

[antibulletdodger101]

you just wrote that you fucking 12-year old homosexuall.

[travisbarker000]

just because drummers like thomas lang can play great solos OR accompany other instruments in a band... it's so hard to play a musical drum solo, so pros like lang aren't just faster than drummers like Korn's drummer, they understand better how to make drums musical by itself OR with a band. That's why Lang is superior to Korn's drummer and also you and I doesn't make me a "12-year old homosexuall"

[travisbarker000]

can someone please explain to me why he would put his main snare off to the left like that? I'm thinking it has a better sound for the strong backbeat, and the other one (between his legs) is tuned better for clean rolls?

[Tetleycat]

That isnt his main snare

thaats his smaller snare

you would know if you watched his dvds

[travisbarker000]

oh, really? funny, cus i didn't watch his dvds, so I don't know... oh, that's what you were telling me, gotcha thanks for reminding me!

[tasterOFwaster]

he's at my house at the moment, recording for a falco tribute

[MrsBigBalls1]

the best

[vontigenes]

holy shit times 2 man...wow

[Allytherockstar]

Holy mother of crap!!

[davidcurtis2]

He doesnt have a single bass pedal you tit...watch the video. The dudes got double kicks! He fucking rocks!

[deltafit]

I went to one of his drum clinics...awesome!!!

[drunkship12]

He's playing 'Jam' by Michael Jackson. Very well I must say =)

[Drumitis]

This guy is AMAZING, man. Wow! Check out this guy on drumitis. He only has a single kick pedal. Boys funky.

[travisbarker000]

im certain he is using a double bass pedal on this set...

[Drumitis]

I mean a different video of this guy named RonnaJay, from Minneapolis. Key in the word "drumitis" or 'Ron" "drum solo"

[xXMcPsylingXx]

rené ist besser^^

[GroundBeef14]

damnnn i want this guy's creative control dvd! He's intense!

[Inhale91]

Amazing!

[piercepd]

Bastard.

[dwsabianguy]

IMO, Lang is a great drummer. But this video isn't so great. He's got chops like a nobody's business, but on the whole, it doens't really amaze me.

I will say that he's got feet of fury.

[skybo053]

he's incredible with his feet.

[showdownatnoon]

still can't believe he would drum over michael jackson with heavy d.

[Gavaknight]

I would hope he would drive over that Chi-Mo(Child molester) Thomas Lang rules, he's played & practiced and sweated blood for his craft, and he at least deserves that much of our respect.

[josueqm]

tiene su estilo, es una fregonada

[DrummerKarl1991]

Try some Meinl Bycanze...they sound musical... ;)

Karl

[neolithicness]

Aaammmazing..

[mcrjones]

One of my favourite drummers

[MonkeyPoofer]

Hey does anyone know where I can download this video? On the internet then. Thanks

[tw69]

If you are browsing with Firefox there are a number of excellent add-ons for DLing vids from YouTube, GoogleVideo, etc. If you aren't using Firefox, try Google for other options.

[MonkeyPoofer]

Ok thanks...now i need FLV player and when i dl it it doesnt work...at least i cant download the original version somehow

[salvation1]

I was at this drum festival! Thomas Lang was the headliner! He was so impressive! He also played some songs from suga babes! I don't like them but his interpretation was really great!

[jks2389]

Um.. he's Sonor for drums and Meinl for cymbals, doesn't use paiste.

[Zildjian232]

paiste fucken owns

[dannycareyisgod]

Paiste all the way!!, but then i like Meinl i dont know what you are talking about.

[leorich]

Alex VAN HALEN WOULD DUST THIS GUY

[youdrovemetodoit]

have you watched thomas langs dvd?

you are a moron to even post on this video with such a has been drummer like alex van halen, you dick.

if you think any1 could be better or even as good as thomas lang then you truely are a fucking retard who obviously cant play an instrument and has no idea of dynamics and rythm.

TEEERRRWAAT.

[Drumitis]

Have you heard Danny Carrey?

[LordNeb]

Carrey - Leg - end. tool rocks. the dude studied with a tala master for like a year, picking up some crazy shit. oh lang rocks.

[StephenPetersen]

i liked his old kit a lot more

[lovo356]

this is not such a good solo

[nickthenets]

He recorded the backing track for this himself - its on Rowland TDK's - you can watch it on their website FYI

[jimbabwe92]

thomas lang is the best
