Thomas Lang

[TheProphetOfWrath]

Gibraltar, Meinl, and Sonor. Strange combo to me, but I guess that's his choice.

[amithabajan2]

@NateDaDrummer @plegentil not just any real drummer, but any real musician. It, in John Petrucci's words, "takes the slop out of your playing". For learning type of stuff, you would be up the creek without a metronome.

[shed412]

i remember watching this when i first started drumming 3 years ago and having no clue what was happening. now i have a sense of what is going on, i may not be able to play it, but i know what i have to do to get there.

[SuperOfficial4]

i want that kit

[Bboycrazymind]

The first beat you hear is this watch?v=eZTamRbvEao&feature=fv­wp&NR=1

[GibsonOnTheWall]

The Drumset is amazing big but terry bozzio is still laughing! xD

[xriesex]

@GibsonOnTheWall

terry bozio started laughing when someone told him that there's a new invention called a crash cymbal

[TyRand19]

Mom I want that set for christmas....

[MarkConstantineDrums]

Excuse me while I proceed to bang my head on my wall.

[BENABONZO]

how many pedals does a guy need!

[caironjtN]

one of those pedals i bet fucks his wife while he's drumming

[projectbaum]

One of the wonders of modern science is how he manages to hit those cymbals at the back.

[kingofthekit]

I love Meinl cymbals but I really don't dig the sound of any of the ones he has. Maybe it's just the recording.

[silentboy85]

im a bit frust when he cant be a dream theater drummer

[triondrummer]

@silentboy85 Cause he´s by far not musical enough!

[laerd89]

I live in the town where this drum kit is built :D

[JCarlosOrtiz1]

@laerd89 wooooo! I'm from the same planet !!

[fallingfromjupiter]

Just went from Jojo Mayer, to this. Dear God the difference.

[justentime77]

@fallingfromjupiter Expand, both are incredible players!

[fallingfromjupiter]

@justentime77 Oh I like both, it's just amazing to me how one instrument can be played so diversely. That's why I love drums! hahaha.

[cowzilla8]

Satan called, he wants his limbs back.

[multinick27]

Orgazmic muffins

[Connexxable]

for me is thomas lang the best drummer !

[lgttb1]

it seems all of the top drummers need a forest of cymbals these days . he is very good but i still enjoy tony royster jr more

[HydraulicSandwich]

@lgttb1

if i was black i would hate white drummers too

[lgttb1]

@HydraulicSandwich sorry to inform you , i am white and have studied music and played drums for 45 years and i do recognize talent when i see it. Tony is very talented and i enjoy seeing him play

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

i think i should quit drumming or like quit my job and lock myself in a room with water and food for a few years and do NOTHING but drum..

[gijosephacoleman]

The is such a thing as being "too good."

[OblivionDrummer]

Not gonna lie he kinda looks like Chris Jerhico

[SuperNotNoob]

1:40 to the end... maybe that'll convince my friend that Neil Peart is not the best...

[chaosrokkfreak]

He has 3 snares.......... really?

[officerpoopnard]

dude that drum set is worth like 20 grand

[residentdrummerpete]

@officerpoopnard the entire drum kit is insured for $250,000

[officerpoopnard]

@residentdrummerpete O_O good lord

[nigelregan]

John Bonham used a basic 5piece Ludwig with two crash cymbals, one ride cymbal, hihat and a single bass pedal and that was over 40years ago! This guys damn good but he sounds like so many other modern drummers, only John Bonham could ever sound like John Bonham,

[TheTaekwonMuffin]

idk what drumming is... idk what anything is anymore...

but uhm.. obviously he must be god? surely there's no other possibility

[plegentil]

why does he need headphones if he's playing alone? Does he need a clicktrack? Wouldn't he be able to keep time by himself....? sry but I don't have any respect for thomas lang...at all

[Sunrider84]

@plegentil Your loss. He's one of the best there is, and he doesn't need your respect.

[ranlett]

@plegentil head phones are used to protect your ears. if you dont where them while playing. your ears will ring afterwards and it could effect your hearing.. it's highly recommended

[NateDaDrummzer]

@plegentil Any real drummer knows that playing with a metronome is beneficial no matter how good, bad, experienced, or inexperienced you are, especially when playing a solo because its not hard to lose your timing.

[thepiedpider12]

@plegentil maybe he wants to not damage his ear drums?

[deftones720]

Why'd he switch from Sonor? that snare sounds amazing

[projectbaum]

@deftones720

His contract probably ended or he wanted to try something new or he just really liked the new product he's endorsing. It happens occasionally.

[Jiveness]

God those toms just sound perfect!!!

[pikufa]

bua como toca el tio

[CVPSYCHO]

doesnt he look like andy samberg from snl?

[SlickPick21]

If your cymbals outnumber your toms-- you might be a funk drummer. ^_^

[deftones720]

@SlickPick21 Most drummers have more cymbals than toms. Actually I don't know any who don't.

[SlickPick21]

@deftones720 Okay, let me rephrase that... the cymbal-to-tom ratio is more ridiculous than most drummers. :)

[deftones720]

@SlickPick21 Haha nice 

[wvnurse2007]

I can't believe people actually thought Neil Peart was good...

[MrMarcobatteria]

The best drummer in the world

[MattDrumsInc]

sonor sq2 x-ray holy shit

dear father christmas............

[gkc25]

How many pedals does he need..

[Arthurski73]

he's got a roland module with this kit .

[FrancoLaBraca]

just amazing :) can anyone tell what kind of set that is?

[FurlanPaolo]

@FrancoLaBraca Sonor SQ2, X-ray acrylic shells.

[FrancoLaBraca]

@FurlanPaolo thanks :)

[luisonperc]

noooo

[48mmwatch]

lang and malmsteen should write some tunes

[Herbster1970]

Oops - Carroll with 2 L's.

[Herbster1970]

Check out Jason "Beastley" Carrol.

[Herbster1970]

Never gets old.

[q28s1]

Fucking every video I watch of his he always surprises me.

[jammyjoeful]

just a pre warm up warm up :P

[DCussen]

Man, is there no end to unbelievable drummers?

[rfhudy]

This video would be good - if he wasn't sporting rolled up sleeves on a short sleeve button-up, topped with a tie and a vest. He ought to put as much thought into his wardrobe as he does his eighteen pedals and cymbals mounted 14 ft. in the air - what are those things doing up there...receiving alien transmissions?!

[TheRevsStallionDuck]

@rfhudy He wears those clothes because in the morning he has to tell his wife he's going to work, in his usual business job, when really he pwns it up on the drums all day

[bique2]

Nice And All But I Got Fever... A Fever For More Cowbell!

[Tatorox1]

he has more pedals than cymbals lol

[TheItalianoMafiosi]

everytime i watch those drum education videos (e.g. by weckl or porcaro) and they say sth like "now just do this easy beat here" and then they do insane stuff (insane for average/amateur/hobby drummers like me) i just think "How the fuck should i learn to play like these pro's some day if i even cannot do this 'easy' stuff right now?!"

[bullahub]

His toms sound fucking great.

[DaJmsta]

damn this may be the only drummer i've ever seen to use double kick to actually make interesting beats

[FunnyForceFive14]

needs more cymbals

[Pj23howard]

Beast

[2mothafucker2]

This is the biggest drum ive ever seen

[FurlanPaolo]

@2mothafucker2 Check Terry Bozzio's...

[2mothafucker2]

@FurlanPaolo ok that Terry Bozzio´s is really the biggest drum xDDD

[XDariXx]

3 snares? oo'

[123rhianon]

i tell you what ,as a drummer if we all had this type of setup we all wouldn't be as hard on ourselves...

[wreckingball28]

he has the fastest feet ive ever seen

[Waste0paper]

He is like a machine. Great talent in all, it just sounds like a bunch of patterns.

[TheFluktuationAcht]

I'm speechless. A complete drummer.

Fuck.

[2112LSG]

@TheFluktuationAcht too many drums

[fess04]

nice tie  : )

[DrumsnotDrugz]

0:21

SO MANY PEDALS!

[hangover71]

@DrumsnotDrugz ...he has pedal-phobia

[Squweesh]

i did not know daniel tosh played drums!

[cayodrummer]

manda muitoo

[Quathan]

Look at him and his wall of cymbals in front of his set. What an awesome drummer.

[hoffmadi]

unbelievable



[kaalihernes123]

WHAT THE HIS DOING WITH THOSE ALL PEDALS?!?

[shaytan1313]

i shoulda known he was hawkin a shit book at the end!!!

[spasydave]

IT IS UNMATCHED COMPARED WITH BEIBERS SKILL ON DRUMS

[WelcomeWakinyan]

I just realized my snare sounds like major shit!

[chickenbeforeegg]

@WelcomeWakinyan I just realized my DRUMMING sounds like major shit...

[nickylwill829]

this dude is bad ass...crazy!

[DrumminManXXL]

i've seen better

[cast390]

@DrumminManXXL Equal not better

[Easleytee]

Yawn.

[GeorgeBennett92]

@jedirocker88 to get lots of different sounds, of course.

[TheKkrriissii]

press 7 and watch him :) btw and you got a really cool fill :)

[Josieisamonster]

Shit. I shouldn't ever watch these. -_-

[jackmn22]

why need so many pedals?

[rrrickflair]

@jackmn22 thats how he wants to express himself

[hellohiholaify]

TRAVIS BARKER IS BETTER HUR DUR DERP DUR

[TheKkrriissii]

@hellohiholaify fag travis barker barks thomas lang plays drum

[BrixIlBarbone]

@hellohiholaify and your mom is better than travis.

[hellohiholaify]

@BrixIlBarbone get a sense of humour you dick, i am well aware thomas lang is better than travis barker, i was making a joke, it's called sarcasm i think.

[BrixIlBarbone]

@hellohiholaify dickhead, you need to be able to use the sarcasm, this is not sarcasm.you think bad.

[Hertsman50]

Thomas Lang needs to play in a decent band.

[Hertsman50]

@scyppio yeah I agree Thomas Lang in DT would be amazing.

[spastic017]

His kit contains 100000000 parts, and in the first minute he used 5 of them and it's still fucking awesome.

[bdysrf]

I swear this guy waits tables in my town,

[McQuads87]

1:40-1:50!!!

[Paramoreisawhore]

The only impressive thing in my opinion, is how much control his left foot has. Other than that, I didn't see anything extraordinary about this video.

[TheKkrriissii]

for information purposes:

Thomas Lang is using:

-4.657 Pedals

-2.865 Cymbals

-~80 drums.

xD

[Uncase1]

@TheKkrriissii That'd actually be Terry Bozzio ;)

[TheKkrriissii]

@Uncase1 1 thing i love... his snare!!!! :D

[04jonezy]

I squirted through my jeans at 1:40

[raiders1815]

his set has too much stuff goin on...i like drummers better when they play on smaller 5 piece sets

[Flurry911]

No feel, no innovation, shit tone = a guy that sounds like a programed MIDI sample.

[MulletMan3108]

@Flurry911 everyone is entitled to their opinion although I disagree completely

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

I need to stop watching videos of amazing drummers… It makes mediocre drummers like me feel like shit.

[julianisdope]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 it makes me want to practice that much harder....

[Yggdra666]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 Sometimes I think I'm the only one getting motivated by that :P

[Drummerdudeftw]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 i feel ya.

[angelonktk]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 Practise, practise and practise my friend.. =D

[SirSTOKE]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 Then get off your @ss and practice :)

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

@SirSTOKE I do practice a lot, but at the reason why I'm mediocre is because I have my priorities straight.

[strappinggermanlad]

@TheBoaConstrictor95

Haha, yeah it's kind of true but instead of thinking you'll never be as good, you should try and see it as an inspiration and copy whatever it is that you like about his drumming... and think back to the time when below mediocre drummers used to make you think you could never be as good... and look at you now you mediocre drummer, beating those below mediocre drummers ;D

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

@strappinggermanlad Well I do look at it as an inspiration. It just reminds me of what a long, long, long way I have until I can be able to do great solos. Then again, drums would be boring if I knew everything.

[2andFoh]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 Watch vids of musicians that groove instead of solo on their 50 piece obnoxious drum kits.

[Sparklaus]

@TheBoaConstrictor95 You dont have to feel that way, trust me, i was like you until one wise man told me that everyone of us in the hole world have one only thing to give that makes us unique! Keep druming like only you know how to do it ;)

[MrPearlmasters]

@TheBoaConstrictor95

Why "does these top drummers make you feel like shit"? Let them inspire you so that you don't practise for 1 hour, but for 2 hours a day!

It all comes with "practise". Thomas Lang practised for playing like this "many hours" Or did you think that he could do immediately? NO ofcourse not!

So please let these amazing drummers 'inspire' you for just more hours of practise, because making ART comes with "practise"

Keep playing drums and NEVER give up!

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

@MrPearlmasters It was just a joke. Of course they inspire me. Unfortunately, I don't always have 2 hours, or even 1 hour to practice everyday. Some days I'll have 3 hours & some I'll have 0.

[cptjackdrummer1]

if i would have a dollar for every time ive seen this guy live, i would have no money.

[rcacad]

i put my balls on your drumset

[pilotsean1]

Thomas Lang is not real

[halen19791]

hay que traer este baterista pal ministerio..ESO SI ..TINE QUE ORAR..MAS QUE TOCAR LA BATERIA.

[JESDRUMS1994]

its the all stars, im telling you

[foshizmaniz21]

Joey Jordison is only worthy of giving Thomas Lang cheesecake recipes.

[luvetohate]

@foshizmaniz21 Joey shouldnt even be mentioned on this vid cus he has nothing to do with it apart that hes also a drummer. one thing is recomending other drummers for people to listen too, but why compare them? whats the point? if u say that joey jordison is not nearly as good as thomas lang does that make thomas lang any better? no. and if u were trying to insult joey jordison it wouldn't be an insult anyways considering how good they both are at the drums, only they play completely different

[foshizmaniz21]

@luvetohate I think you just said about 3 things, over and over again.

[luvetohate]

@foshizmaniz21 lol then u clearly didn't try to read my comment properly.

[foshizmaniz21]

@luvetohate Well it all said that same thing really, I definitely did read it.

My comment was a complete joke, only to add a humourous nature to the comments section, look at any youtube video and most of the comments that are at the top rated will be funny, or a complete joke. My comment is one of them, obviously you didn't take to it.

[DrumOlly]

@foshizmaniz21 joey jordison doesn't know how to make cheesecakes...

[foshizmaniz21]

@DrumOlly Well, it'd be funny if he knew. Because then he would be able to hand them to thomas lang

[acexxxking]

@foshizmaniz21 LMAO so random

[Suddenregression]

@foshizmaniz21

And we have chocolate cheesecakes...

[bondjamesbond12]

@foshizmaniz21 They play 2 DIFFERENT types of music.

[philconey11]

@foshizmaniz21 Cheesecake is sacred in my family. I will kill Joey if he touches it.

[fucking0head]

@foshizmaniz21 jealous

[gdrum121]

i can do this solo with my right foot no dificult

[DrummerDudexD]

Standard! :D

[MauroPWA]

odio questo pallone gonfiato.. suoni di merda poi...

[XXtremeDrummer]

@MauroPWA Se lo vedi dal vivo ti ricrederesti... che qualità mai potrà avere un video di youtube? E comunque lo trovo eccezionale, ha una tecnica tutta sua, ha avuto il coraggio di sperimentare e di non fermarsi al tu- pa -tu tu pa...

[MauroPWA]

@XXtremeDrummer il video mi comunica molte cose, anche se si vede e sente male.. sono un batterista anch'io, e Lang non mi piace affatto.

[XXtremeDrummer]

@MauroPWA De gustibus non est desputandum :)

[alildrumhappy]

Love this guys set, but he does not look like a drummer at all! lol

[panterica95]

gay i felt like i was waiting for a magic trick

[ItsSoEZPZ]

Needs more cow bell....

[TheAlexander8848]

cool

[UnEvn]

woulda been better if he had more cymbals and pedals

[CarBonGeaR9]

Please Thomas, Let me Buy your Skills for 10000k$ Please!

Thumbs up if u want too!

[xlhotlx]

this guy is fucking inhuman, no method or anything he sells is going to be able to get you to the skill he has

[passion4drums]

@scyppio he doesn't have to be able to play this... i hate this guy now anyways. i'm just kind of annoyed with him.. and he didn't make dt anyways

[jldelarosap]

este definitivament es mi baterista favorito...

[hjkcj13]

I would lose my legs on a kit like this.....and my hands.....and my head
