100% agree. I used to think he was a bit robotic because he played so much dance/electronic music but he has really matured as a musician and here is the proof.
The closer you get to technical, IN MOST CASES, the further you get from a musical feel. Theres a lot of drummers who blend both beautifully. In langs case he was always one of the front runners of technical drumming. Its nice to see him show that he can blend both with the best of them. Theres no denying his super human technique shines through.
Yannis Bernard The thing I was thinking about Tom is he doesn’t play in very many bands to my knowledge. I know he has played in some. Marco plays. Still Tom is absolutely incredible. I mean I would love to do his stuff. Working on it.
@@yannisbernard4091 I'd say Marco is right there with Thomas in that category, alongside Virgil Donati, Mike Mangini, Jojo Mayer, and other masters who transcended beyond the professional level. As for who's better, it doesn't matter. They're all great in their own way.
These have to be the most amazing drum feet in the universe! There are those who can play blast beats and hold their own, but Thomas then buries all of them when you factor in the power, dexterity, independence, speed, musicality, etc. AMAZING!!!!!!! Love it..........
Maybe I´m exaggerating, but when I started drumming in the mid 2000s Thomas Lang kinda was the black sheep of the drum world (?) He was critiziced for being technical for the sake of technicality and playing very roboticaly. Like I said, I might remember it wrong, but this was the consence that I noticed in some places..... Now he is doing stuff like this and those criticisms feel centuries old. This is truly fantastic!
How is this guy getting better. I've been inspired by him since first seeing an article in a drum magazine. Bought a DVD and then a second. His methods,, and teachings as well as his playing are second to none. I went from Mike portnoy to Thomas way back as an inspiration. It's been a long ride, but Thomas is the one who has been putting in the work. If there were a famous drummer to change playing for all time it would be him. Glad i got to witness it.
look at Marco Minnemann drumming,he's more musical than him,for me he's boring to see after 3mn.. he's more a clinician than a real musician,Marco too,but he 's also famous with different crew and have a lot of project
Servus, vielen Dank für das Video! Geil, wie Mr. Lang niemals müde wird, sich selbst immer wieder neu zu erfinden und weiterzuentwickeln. Seit Jahrzehnten dieses Niveau zu halten und Grenzen zu verschieben ist einfach nur beeindruckend! Das DW geht jetzt in Rente, kommt einfach kein Ton mehr raus!!! Drumatische Grüße nach Berlin, Jochen ✌🏼😃
I always love watching Thomas Lang because you can see just how much space you can create in grooves and fills by essentially turning your feet into a second set of hands 🤣
Do yourselves a favor, guys. Put on the very best headphones you've got. This dude has the two best feet on the planet and this recording allows us to hear and see it. This is just . . . man, so next level. As always, after the first watch, just listen and let your brain focus on the sound exclusively. You won't believe you just saw him play this live. 5:10 to 5:18 is just sick.
This is my favorite of his setups. Nice and simple. Leaving room for lots of freestyle AND groove stuff. Still a wicked-fast hands and feet even with the loose drum heads!
Amazingly good drum solo. So much musicality and grove combined with technic. Very cool, fun and impressive as well. Great Job Thomas✌️👌 PS. Why does this not have more views?
I like this new fresh Thomas Lang with a new more groove oriented approach. He played some mind blowing tasty grooves here! especially the one with the cowbell but I just wish he repeated them a lil bit longer before jumping to something else . Anyway Thomas is a beast his technique and independence is from a different planet!
The first time I saw him play. He was doing a product demonstration for sonar kick pedals. I watched it and thought holy crap he is freaking good. I now realize 18 years later that I don’t know how to play drums. I just know how to hit things in a rhythmic pattern. Thomas Lang can play drums.
This lockdown is not good at all he must to STOP practicing 😅 Before the lockdown you be a crazy drummer Now you becoming unreal Please GOD make this lockdown finish Otherwise this manster drummer will become a BIGER MONSTER😂 Amazing drumming Dynamic Speed Independent Just cray GOD BLESS YOU
It should be titled "The Berlin-Solo". So remarkable invented an executed, mixed and filmed. Would be nice if you would name it that way, regarding Thomas' permission of course.
The masters always gets criticised just because they are the best. Some people feel intimidated by perfection so they criticise on default, it's too much for them to comprehend (it's alien to them).
It’s crazy how much more musical he is now. This is a legitimately beautiful solo.
100% agree. I used to think he was a bit robotic because he played so much dance/electronic music but he has really matured as a musician and here is the proof.
Kren Wregget 💯

agreed. There are videos out there where he not only plays accents on the double bass but also freaking ghostnotes. unbelievable
It’s amazing how smooth his playing is. He looks so relaxed. Truly amazing.
His feet are just floating. Amazing hi level technique drummer.
I couldn't have said it better his feet are floating perfect words .

Matze B. He was never black sheep to me. He was just badass. Maybe a little over the top. Still badass monster freak.
The amount of different techniques that he seamlessly transitions through is astounding
Not to mention his mind boggling independence and musicality
Nice kit setup! Plus terrific sticking n footwork!

Thomas Lang was the first drummer I saw on UA-cam one day before my first drum class (2006), since there, I never saw a better drummer than him.

Pure love in the craft and thousand of hours of practice...kuddos to lang!

brilliant solo of Thomas! Great shape!
Strength and grace all tied into one.
Makes want to jump on my kit. That's the effect a great drummer has on another drummer. Awesome!!!!!
A master is always a master....Great work and rhythmic philosophy...
What an awesome video! Thank you for sharing
That drum solo just cured COVID-19.
This dude is like the terminator on drums. Always comes back with something amazing. He's relentless
He will not stop.
I wish he'd actually CALL HIMSELF The Druminator. He'd be more famous if he did, sigh.
"THOMAS LANG The Druminator"
or
"THOMAS LANG...is...The Druminator"
The baddest dude behind a drum kit! Impressive as always!
One of my biggest inspirations for drum independence
I love the sound of that snare drum awesome playing too🥁😎
Awesome! Makes me want to go play my drums!
Absolutely superb as usual Thomas! I think you’ve found your soul mate with that Edge snare drum! Fantastic!
Unglaublich was der Bursche abliefert. Sehr inspirierend. Dynamisch, Power satt. Really amazing, bloody good Drumming.
so siehts aus.. einfach ein Wahnsinns Typ & Drummer!
What an amazing piece of ART.
First saw video of him 13 years ago, he's becoming more of a poet!

Magnificent.
That snare surprises me 😯😯
Man, he uses that upright kick drum on the left so effectively. Nicely done!
This is my favorite of his setups. Nice and simple. Leaving room for lots of freestyle AND groove stuff. Still a wicked-fast hands and feet even with the loose drum heads!
