4:30 that paraddidle groove has the same structure of Ouroborous when he played for The Mars Volta
he's quickly becoming one of my favorites. he's very talented and very humble. i like how he really seems to be in touch with the people and their questions. he seems very genuine.
What a great and inspiring attitude! Awesome!
I actually think he would be a really awesome person just to sit and hang with. He seems really down to Earth, friendly, and very funny.
Thomas is the man! Thanks for the upload! :)
3:52 blew my mind, he plays fast, but makes it swing, unlike most people on their double bass pedals.
awesome favorite drummer
He is the man!! Pumped I got to play with him in Nashville!
i don't know anything about drums but I have a feeling this would be like micheal jordan explaining people how to dunk from the free throw line or tom brady on how to throw a 60 yard pass...... not natural.
excuses. shed 8 hours a day like he did and then talk about natural or not natural.
why the hell didn't they show his foot from 3:50-3:59!?!?!?
prague The same foot technique is illustrated but with a halftime groove at 3:30
+EvansPercussion yeah... But still... Any chance to see his foot when he's talking about foot tech and playing. Just want to see that speed and see if he's human or not.
Great guy !
I'm a fan (since I discovered you in Mars Volta) !
Love the fire!
what a great guy
That'a Performance Series! Mine will arrive on Tuesday! :D
He's such a down to earth guy!
just realised but love the yell at 0:16 hahaha
You are high. Saw him in concert at a tiny venue in new olreans and my mind was blown. I have never witnessed anyone play like he does.
WHOA nice color of drums!
pops are dope
Hell yeah- This dude is legit as
I can hear an older guy ask "one shoe?" at 4:15ish lol
beast
Totally eating cereal while working my right foot technique tomorrow!
Great drummer and funny guy!
insane
sei su un altro pianetaaa
It sounds like he is the type of musician who is always trying to progress his capabilities and I personally think that is something that deserves some respect.
@Freedome23 You can tell it by looking at these things:
1. Lugs, they are quarter turret lugs on the toms and bass drum, and they are different even on the snare (like tube lugs).
2. Badges, they are black with dw written in black (black on black with a white outline).
3. Colour, that's the Saphire Blue, they made it ad hoc for that series.
4. By the time the video was shot the performance series was ready, but not yet released, in fact they changed the resonant head mounting the collector's one
Man Thomas pridgen your doper then anybody bcuz your about beatn the hell out of drums keep it up
Good tips indeed..especially what cereal he eats lol
Damn single foot double is beast.
thomas for president!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH that cymbal stack
anybody know what song he's playing to at the end?
not just speed, but freakin power
"Is that a foot pedal cam" "yeah" "Oh thats sick!" lolololol Thomas is such a great guy! hahaha
I can so picture Pridgen in a commercial saying "Gotta Have my pops!" hahaha
@bfish420 Youre right Thomas is a great player AND a real human being
Damn that 1# flute beat thing is banana! supreme! Neeeed it!!!
there is a drum cam? thats sick!
@dannyss29 I think he says "Omar from Mars Volta"... talking about Omar Rodriguez Lopez
ive gotten the speed down with one foot. now im really starting to work on the power
what song was playing at the beginning?
gotta have my pops.
lol @ 5:00
Appropriate question after he said he practiced while eating cereal.
Thomas Pridgen looks coolest when he's playing ona blue set like that
3:50 so crazy 🔥 foot techniques
Killer!
Beast. Mode. 24/7.
Anybody know the name of any of the tracks he plays here?
He is crazy
he builds speed we can understand by smoking mad blunts and slowing down so we can hear and understand. i imagine his day to day life as that futurama where Fry drinks 300 cups of coffee and sees the world in slow motion
I happed up on dude while I was in college..he's been my secret weapon ever since! Sickly amazing and innovative. Keep eatin' cereal bruh so @EHansen can keep hatin'.
what song is he playing to? beginning and end?
Ok that's a coincidence I was just doin those exercises on the pedal for speed, even though I was struggling, he made that look so easy I have to do those exercises so slow lol, this dude, Tony royster, and Aaron spears are animals with footing and Dee Curry
I do those practices too lol developing pedal speed is so hard man, sometimes I feel like I should just buy double pedals but then I see guys like Thomas and it's like "he doesn't use double pedals and he's getting along just fine, why don't I just practice more and do the same thing?" Thomas is really one of greatest drummers out there today! He really inspires me to get better behind the kit.
Yeah definitely.
3:50 sounds like a fucken drum machine, man, thom, you are soo cool. keep it up bro
@beatsandthings Dont know 4 sure--but given the fact that he studied from Dennis' videos, its a pretty good bet that he did
How do I get my snare to sound like his
what's the name of this song? album also. Thanks.
I like how he doesn't get phased when he makes a mistake in his playing.
anyone noticed the performance series?
Ok, no footcam at 3:50, but what do you say? Does he play triplets or just doubles?
can any drummers on here give an idea of what his sticking is with the left hand....i see him do a lot of crazy videos and his left is always throwing down doubles which is part of a whole lick that i cant spot with my eye...any help ??? thomas is a beast!!!
Need that Firsts Track Name! Of da Chain!!
LOVE THE CEREAL!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!! GONNA TRY IT... PRACTICE AND POPS!!!!!
@bfish420 you clearly haven't been to pasic before. the environment is really friendly, and the clinicians (in this case thomas pridgen) really get in tune with the crowd and ask for people to come up on stage for lessons etc.
what does he say about using only ONE grip ?
my question is this. at 4:40, what in the world is he looking at while playing?
@Speirszitu he plays for the mars Volta
The way how he played the drums is like he's FLASH.
What kind of cymbal is that? The fast one that he hits with his right arm. I know its a zildjian. Fast crash or fast china maybe?
At 1:22
no. they both have an DW endorsement, they both have the same kit.
@bddrumma17 He's using a stack . Im not sure which two cymbals he uses to make up the stack, but check out his set-up. They should have it there.
Peace,
The Drum Commentator
5:00 Hella funny. LOL.
3:50-4:00 cool footwork and they decide NOT to show the foot cam! smh
@beatsandthings I bet he has done that, he'd bang on anything, haha but he plays with so much wrist and finger motion, and the point of playing on a pillow is to build that up on a surface with NO rebound, so that you can work LESS when you get on a drum or cymbal and play twice as full with half the effort, cuz the stick does all the work... so in short if you want to sound like him play tons of rolls and flam accents on pillows, it worked for me, anyway
@bddrumma17 All I know is that its a china mounted on top of a crash or splash.
1:44 French grip is thumbs to the sky homie
didnt he start with french grip not german?
@DavidChoiDrumz yeah man.... it´s so frustrating.......:@
Miss Jon Theodore but Love Thomas Pridgen
Heel Up
When the video opens and closes what is he playing to?
His old band Zenith Patrol. Check it out, some of his best work I reckon.
he shoulda stayed with the mars volta, but now they have a super-bad ass named Deantoni. bringing back the musicality and finesse= cohesive power. still, gotta give it up to the raw chops of Pridgen, rock never seen a man drum like this man before.
@cheeseman59 THE TASTE YOU CAN SEE!!!! LOL
@jaredrums93 yep, i know the story. thanks
WTF did he say @ 4:22?? o.O
Hahahaha I love how he just drops the microphone 3:26
“I’m only 19 but my mind is older”
The honorable Thomas Pridgen ✌🏻
well gee I SURE WISH we coulda seen his foot at 3:50
That's Jojo Mayer's job! :D
you mean " Like, gotta have my um pops!".
3:48 there ya go
master teach me xDDDDDD
@Hitmanfan91 watch his other vids
time to stock up on the cinnamon toast cruch
I'm gonna start eating those cereals! Thats for shure!
Practice is what he's saying. Asking and learning technique correctly from a more experienced drummer he also made a reference about that answering the how u get that fast question. Woodshed tho like a M****F**ker too. I know this dude stayed on a kit, when he was younger, and prolly still does.
