  • to all Thomas Langs bitches on here Im sorry I dont rate this guy but hes an internet drummer he sells crappy drum kits for the drum companies. Musically hes non existant, good drummers make albums the best drummers are studio drummers the touring drummers are nothing more than mime artists today they mime to backing trax. Lang has made albums with semi famous people & toured with manufactured pop bands miming to sequencers. If u like his music then at least worship his producer but not him

  • 18 people missed the like button

  • just watched him again thinking maybe i missed something & i think I did hes a fucking genius im going to worship him from now on. Nah just kidding he really sux, just reinforced that. This aint drumming this selling drums to naive kids

  • @naleyan Bottom line is that Thomas Lang is one of the greatest technical drummers in existence. Whether or not you enjoy listening to him is one thing, but to sit there and talk about how he doesn't understand music, or to say that "this isn't drumming", or to say that he's not as good as you is beyond ridiculous. It just goes to show that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about (see first response).

  • @Str8Faced i wouldnt know i have never him play & not many have cos all he ever does is drum clinics to sell drums if u think thats drumming then thats sad cos drumming to me is playing with musicians & interacting like a conversation reflecting emotions. To me Lang is a joke the Leona Lewis of the drum world he belongs on xfactor.

  • @naleyan you're right you wouldn't know because you obviously don't know. If you've never even bothered to go listen to him in a musical setting then all your judgemental crap is just that. You're either very very young or very very ignorant.

  • @Str8Faced no neither young or ignorant im sorry to burst ur bubble ur boyfriend sux

  • @naleyan you must care about him a lot to hate him so much. I think you're just angry because people look up to him and no one cares about your drumming.

  • @Str8Faced no ur wrong & the reason i hate him is cos hes like all the xfactor generation hes just an average drummer with loads of money & to prove it he neveer plays with any bands & yes hes in a band now which once again has been built around his lack of ability to me hes just a drum sales man who is destroying music he belongs with the lipsyncers & pop mimers cos that all he does. everything is metal straight four theres one emotion in that crap its aimed at young kids who dont know fuck al

  • @naleyan if you think thomas lang can't play, you know nothing about him. you judge based on youtube videos and not actual performances. watch creative control, or creatice coordination, or better yet sign up for boot camp or his online instruction. there's a reason dream theater sent him the invite to play with them. but you're probably the kind of kid who doesn't know anything about them either

  • this is my religion!It's a great drummer and a great Man

  • he is a ninja in the art of drummming xD

  • @musicclown123 yes hes the arnold schartzenegger of the drum world killing music & creativity where ever he goes using a steroid fuelled technique

  • to nje sila aj ja chcem bit taki

  • Hes needs to learn control but i think he could get there with some practise, but I suppose thats why he doesnt do much studio work & does music stores selling drums to little kids. I know all u fans will hit the roof at this but this appalling drumming is about music. This guy without drum companies would starving to death. Check JoJo Mayer for real drumming, i dont like the music he does but but hes a great drummer.

  • @naleyan thomas lang is constantly busy and he's a technical monster. There's a difference between sitting up on stage jerking off and sitting behind a band preforming. If you honestly think thomas lang is less than a great drummer than you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @Str8Faced i dont know if hes a great drummer no ones ever heard him, I heard him triggering a computer but never seen him play drums. Hes a drum salesman & video salesman, im know u think its real but heres the he hits the drum which triggers some software to play a note, the softeware can then be quantised to play that note  in time if out of time. Why do u think hes has no feel, cos hes trapped by a computer. He never does gigs just drum workshops to gullible kids to sell his crappy products

  • @naleyan you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

  • naleyan... You're incredibly ignorant! While Thomas Lang is not my "personal favorite" drummer, the man is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I am a drummer and I certainly know just what it takes to be a great drummer! Thomas has it all! Amazing, mind-boggling ambidexterity, speed, coordination and creativity! You are obviously not a drummer OR if you are, you certainly don't know much about your craft!

  • @naleyan check out this guy Max Sansalone

  • @naleyan take time to break down the beat. if he can play something that perfect that fast then he's got more control then you or i will ever have.

  • @jtdrummerboy no hes no where near as good as me he doesnt understand music. Why do u think he uses metal as he tool of choice cos its very one dementional, its just anger so its easy for him. Look guys if u want to buy his bullshit go ahead, but next hes a drum work shop asking to play a set with some musicians & see what comes out. Music is a language & drummers should reflect the emotions of that language, his computer limits that sorry to burst ur bubble but im sick of drum salesmen on utub

  • @naleyan and look. You still have no clue!

  • Damn!!! He's fast!

  • so ive noticed that alot of what he does is RLRL KK, and tons of variations regarding this... it sounds kool, but its not very creative... im not saying hes bad.. quite the contrary, he just lacks a bit of creativity...

  • wow. He did double strokes on the his hands really fast, and slowly built up double strokes with his feet faster and faster, while slowing the hands down. That kind of independence is insane.

  • @Str8Faced actually i belive it's easy and cheap trick.

  • @sauronhall show me then

  • @Str8Faced you need to pay!

  • Str8Faced : I couldn't have said it any better!

  • Aaron Spears??????  WHAT? Yes, Aaron Spears is a great drummer; there are many great drummers--but then there's Thomas Lang. There is NO comparison! Thomas Lang is playing from another planet! NO ONE can do what he does...

  • bloody hell thomas lang is SOOOO danm good. that snare stuff with the doubles and all is just amazing!!!

  • technical technical technical.

  • ANIMAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

  • haha aaron queerssss???????Lang would fucking annihilate him in a drum duel ha

  • I doubt it

  • Comment removed

  • why? DW is over rated and over priced. and whats so special about them anyway?

  • Didn't ask your opinion........

  • and i didn't ask your opinion on mine.

    this poses a problem doesn't it?

  • @hitman45400 so what makes them over rated?

  • Is it just me or does lang appear to be about 14 feet tall in this video? :D

  • He's great at what he does. I've yet to hear great feel from him. Also this gets sloppy

    Most drummers r impressed by speed when they havent got it; it tends to seem magical. Once u get it u soon learn that feel & groove r actually more diff, not more physical but more diff. The tempo at which the "rebound' begins to occur takes the most control & is more diff than playing (most) patterns at a higher speed.

    Lang is doin what he likes. You can't hate or dis him for that. It's all relative.

  • i must agree with u 100 percent. I used to be into Lang when I first started drummin.. It is all about feel and groove. Gotta love Greb and JoJo Mayer. They are def. my favorites

  • Check out Brian Blade. Some of the most tasteful n musical playing I have heard. Yeah Greb n Jojo have great concern for the music too. Mainly, it takes good ears to make good music. If you hear the diff, then you know it and can work towards it.

  • Fuck the naysayers, Lang is pure greatness

  • He's one of the best drummers all over the world! If you don't know, just don't comment...

  • What the hell are you talking about? Did you watch another video or something lol

  • Lang is alright in his other videos but not this one.. and i would chose Aaron Spears over this guy anyday

  • I like Aaron Spears. He has a lot more feeling and groove than Lang does but I like Lang for his independence and technicality.

  • Aaron spears is trash.

  • are u fuking crazy?? Aaron Spears is unbelievably good.. u must be a pretty wack drummer to say that

  • He's completely eh.

  • No he isnt, he's actually quite funky and gets hired for a very good reason

  • Traaaaaaash.

  • BRUTAL

  • nothing left to say

    tribaldrummergod

  • Ive seen quite a few vids of lang and this is the worst! No feeling behind it all. Its like hes got no soul, all a bunch of techniques you learn in books. How disapointing

  • terible drummer no control

  • lol

  • It's very simple the man is from another planet. He is not of this world.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a GOD!!!

  • hes really good, but i dont care for all this technical crap, i just want to hear a bad ass beat.

  • The guy is all chop flash and no pocket. I just don't get it. Fast as hell, but who cares?

  • Totally agree man, playing complicated all the time is impressive but it gets boring after a while. But hey everyone isn't into tastefulness.

  • WELL THEN LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!!  look up chad smith! he's my main influence.

  • romain goulons feet work is much better then this guys

  • Romain Goulon is faster with the single strokes on the feet. That´s all. TLang plays double strokes and paradiddle. But Romain Goulon is a good Metaldrummer too.

  • the first 4 seconds are bass right?

  • yes you can kind of see him him fidgeting because hes going so fast

  • i have never seen a faster double stroke than thomas lang

    truely awesome:D

  • check out derek roddy double stroke thingys

  • i went and seen him tonight with my boyfriend in the mitchael theatre we was AMAZING !!!

  • Man, if he were to perform in America's Got Talent, which sucks horribly, he'll make everyone else look like crap.

  • He`s got great chops, precision, and control...but...he`s got no groove...in this solo I mean. But his other videos are a little bit better.

  • I agree with everything you just said lol.

  • @konarider So tell me: what's groove?

  • @konarider its a SOLO its not supposed to have a real GROOVE

  • What he's doing here should'nt be possible.......... But he does it

  • He is a monster of drumming! =)

  • Wow, he's fucking insane =O

  • I was his teacher :O

  • ?wtf

  • the king of stick tricks

  • 4:40 onward...out of control. I look down and see the name "Joey" and can only assume some 15 year old shit has spat up again. Joey is decent, does his job well, but most certainly is not on the level of Lang, Minnemann, Jojo Mayer, Johnny Raab, Terry Bozzio, Neil, Danny Carey, et. al. All you little shits need to learn some history and musicality.

  • Agreed

  • yeah thomas lang^^

  • give me dave weckl, virgil donati and steve gadd anyday. There is no feel in this

  • yes sometimes he has no feel in this solo...but sometimes is also funny play just play ...don't think play!!!

  • LMAO

  • youre right... thomas is better

  • this guy

    this guy right here

    he thinks joey is better

    hah

  • uh wow, did I just read that?

    dude I hate to say this, but though Joey is a fast drummer and yes he does have some chops, he's not as good as say Thomas Lang, Mike Portnoy (joey actually said that one), or Matt Griener(who's can go as fast as Joey and is much more complicated).

  • Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har Har.

    I find your joke rather amusing sir...

  • this guy has the best groove, in the pocket so deep, better than bonham, cobham .really top class musician aswell as a drummer

    I am of corse talking garbage

  • he can groove his ass off if needed.

    The way he is playing is for drummers.

    The man is bad!

  • hes got great skill and speed. but im glad he doesnt play funk...he would NEVER be in the pocket haha

  • great drummer, but he never grooves

    speed and techicality isn't everything

    this solo has no feel

  • there always has to be some dipshit backwards moron spouting off what he has to say hear because no one will listen to them in the real world. Great technique, one hell of a show as always for Thomas Lang

  • are you on crack?

  • @ nalyan...are jealus or just dumb as hell?

  • Probably just jealous. Naleyan is most likely a scrawny wimp whos never touched a dumbell in his life. Way to be a wimp

  • you definitely don't know Thomas Lang. and you are an asshole

  • .....

  • Incredible.

  • Starting at around :52 - Amazing

  • cool trick with the speedin up base then slowin down snare :D

  • El mejor batería de la actualidad Lang!!!

    Pasaros a ver:angelbatery (os gustará)

  • Yall gone have to be mad at me but all his solos sounnd the same but he is an excellent drummer though!!

  • SICK!!! TREMENDOUS!!! You know how many hours of PRACTICE that takes. PURE INSTINCT is a wonder.

  • dude that is sick as hell i wanna learn how to play like that i know how to play drums but im not that good and i wanna learn but i dont have a drum set and i dont know how to get a cheep drum set that has a double kicker how do i get one any one who reads this please commment me back thanks becouse i wanna find a drum set that cheep but not to cheep so i can learn how to play

  • So the doubles transfer between the hands and feet at :48 owns most solos with sheer control...

  • WAHNSINN!!!! MIR GEHT EINER AB

  • that guy is amazing, absolutely amazing !!

  • I bet he pulls a lot of chicks.

    It would be a shame if he was married.

  • I think he is married

  • His drums sound spot on!!

  • borec

  • Weckl remains king. He has technique as well and can actually play music.

  • BICEPS! :O:O:O:O

  • I challenge T.L. to a drum off....

  • LOL! :D

    Good luck.

  • LOL...I am serious though....

  • lol ive seen u play...and lang would eat u for breakfast

  • goddamnit....4:25-5:04 sounds like there are 3 drummers at once playing.

    he is like a machine

  • so naleyan im guessing all his other videos are sped up? and im glad u noticed that cars can go fast, oh and the audience arnt moving faster than they normally would, and if its sped up are the crowds cheers sped up? no is the simple answer

  • i hate this video simply because it ends

    damn he's good

    it's kinda not fair really

  • Unholy shit. It's like there are playing 3 drummers at the same time. He is so advanced with all kinds of techniques...it's not even funny anymore.

    He is also one of the few drummers that play a march with the doublebass. On top of that he even accents his kicks.

    jesus christ 0_o

  • wow..he's great..esp the the part when he does the doubles on his bass and snare..he's great!

  • SIN DUDARLO.. ES UN GENIO!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes, you are the only one in the whole wide world.

    This is lèse-majesté!!!

    You don`t know what you are talking about, this man is holy, may God the allmighty forgive you, for your question.

  • LoL you suck ! Disturbed was ment to show my amazement towards him ...

  • ok man sorry, sieh dir meine Videos an, ich bin Thomas Lang-Fan nr. 1, deswegen war ich leicht erbost. Nichts für ungut!!

  • Those feet are insane. He's the only guy I've seen that practices core rudiments with his feet other than Danny Carey, but this guy has it off way better.

  • uh.. naleyan... this isnt sped up..

    thomas lang is really that fast.. there are alot of other drummers that fast too..

  • to much bass drum

  • Lots of good techniques, but no feel!!!

  • a little harsh there buddy- lol... I wouldn't say "no feel"... He's great at what he does- sounds like you're jealous...

  • every drummer is great nobody pays from drum solos but they are great. The main important think is keeping the band in time.

  • look at jojo mayer for a real drummer

  • stop crying "naleyan" U need to go practice!!

  • u guys need to stop fucking yo mamas

  • im posting again i can see all comments for thomas lang are controlled & i would too if i was him cos to open him to the truth would be very disturbing but all i see is the camera sped up look at the audience & the fast cars in the background. Hes a sham a crook sorry but hes very detrimental for real hardworking musos

  • You just forfeited your right to live, but I've got some good news for you, Naleyan - there's always suicide. Good work, Detective Dipshit, now go watch a few of his DVD's and explain to me how you ever thought for a second that you could bash Thomas Lang.

  • I guess you haven't seen his other vids eh?

    He can actualy play MUCH faster than in this video.

    Speed up? lol

    *rolls eyes*

  • what a fucking wanker this vid is sped up I hate this guy hes all thats wrong with music today, Hes a lying bastard this is all mind control bollox which hieghten the publics expectaion of drummers cos he works thru the tv & not in real life.

  • I never post comments on youtube but this just made me laugh. Ive been sat right behind him when hes played at a masterclass in Gateshead..This is no where near as fast as he can actually play you idiot.

  • Sounds like a jumble of shit. I'd stick my tongue in his ass though. I'm a queer.

  • double's are very sloppy

  • where are your doublebass videos?

  • his double bass is horrible

  • i love the last part that starts at 4:15 it sounds like when my dad used to work at the printing shop. it has that very mechanical repetition. and he keeps a very steady bpm too which is just as nice. great controll

  • I don't think living with your parents has anything to do with what you know about music.. I've been playing drums for 14yrs (since I was 10) and know a talented drummer when I hear one. Thomas Lang is one of my inspirations and also in my opinion one of the best drummers out there, better than the slipknot drummer..

  • unfortunatly most of the people who comment saying that joey jordison or (insert random drummer name) is better than the other are usually 13-16 year olds still living with their parents and have no idea how to tie their own shoelace, idiots.

    BTW thomas lang is god.

  • GOT THAT RIGHT...

    NEXT ITS JERRY NOLAN

  • this solo truned me onto thomas i look up to him hes the best besides buddy rich!!

  • thomas just plays the freakiests solos ever, very impressive, but sometimes, when he does these rolls on toms, and snares, whith some doublebass, and crashes, id really like to know where his "1" is. he is a wonder, though, i own his 2 newest dvds, hes just amazing.

  • Is that a dw snare i see? isnt he with sonar?

  • Actually,this wasn't in Egg Harnor Township,NJ. If you look at the floor & the color of the kit(EHT was Purple).

    But anyway....Thomas is a great drummer,as well as a fantastic human being! We are blessed,in the music community,to have such a grand gentleman show us his skills,plus share some tricks & insite on the music industry!

    Thanks again,Thomas!!!

  • the kit doesn't need to be miced. every once in awhile it's nice to hear the natural sound of drums without reverb and compression added even though i like those effects lol. i just thought it sounded refreshing in this video.

  • the kit isn't as mic as well as it should be =( and hes so good..

  • This wasin Egg Harbor Township. I was there in the back. Amazing show

  • you understand what he's sayin'??

  • thomas lang has appeared in over 250 albums...the dude can groove as well

  • he made better solos than this

  • he is really one of the drumming gods

  • AWESOME FINGER CONTROL ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE BUT BEING GOOD AT DRUM SOLOING DOESN`T GET YOU THE PAYING GIGS in other words if you can`t groove you gotta move
