@@mickywatnots3700 😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my God... Are you a bit gelous? How can you only think to say to an excellent musician like him something like that? Music level 1000000
After years of seeing Thomas in clinics im glad i met him personally a few years back and took a master class from him, what a great guy and out of this world player
The bar for world class drumming has been upped for several years now by Thomas Lang, Marco Minneman, Virgil Donati and many others. There are thousands of very good drummers but this group of drummers is beyond good. They are incredible with the ability to play anything that comes into their minds instantly. When I see and hear videos like this my first inclination is to quit drumming. But I don't and won't because I can take one thing away from these virtuousos and give my challenge and fun. Wow.
And don't forget about Mario Duplantier, Eric Moorell, and (well not so new to the scene anymore but still) Danny Carey, for example. There's so many great new drummers coming up!
Bill don't ever quit man! Like Mike Johnston says, "We are just at different points in our drumming journey." Keep playing and progressing. I will never be on the level of any of the people you named, but drumming is still such a passion and joy!
Saw Thomas live on a drumfestival back in 1997..this guy is really a wizard on the drums..sounds so clean and it's like 2 drummers are playing..truely amazing.
This is what technical and powerful drumming means. Though I could never and ever reach his stunning skills, I keep saying he's so inspirational to me !!! Greetings from Italy
I love this on many levels. Gut reaction - all that independence work TL put in w/ deccabons & extra pedals, percussion, etc over the last 2(?) years...THIS made this tune a slam dunk musically / technically. That intro was just cool.
As a Meinl drummer, I have continuously watched Lang for about 4-5 years and he is so freakin talented, I am severely disappointed he has not found a band home. Thought for sure Dream Theater would have been it. I think this truly holds him back in how he is viewed as a drummer. Could you imagine what Metallica would be like with a guy like Lang?
Thomas, this has got to be the best percussive accompaniment I have seen since Spirit of Radio and definitely better than playing Rock me Amadeus I saw you do ages ago. This performance was inspiring and thank you for sharing.
Along with Gavin Harrison, one of the great drummers of the world. In my mind, Gavin represents "classical" drumming, Thomas "modern" drumming. Both are fascinating.
Everytime I see you playing, the drum line of children of the grave (the studio version) comes to my mind haha. I had to say that. Outstanding job btw (as always) :D.
Hi Thomas! I was wondering, are you going to release ProgPop on Spotify? It would be awesome to see it there, I'd definitely add it to some playlists and listen the heck out of it! And of course thank you for the videos and the challenge and everything during this situation, it has given a lot of inspiration and joy! Thank you, stay safe!
Probably the best drummer ever...plays like he has 8 arms....his hands and feet are fast and precise... i wonder how he played when he was in his 20s or 30s... dave weckl, dennis chambers, dont even come close to this guy!!! Incredible!!
you do wonder, however, how many pdp owners have several dw machined pedals attached to their drumset. a collective worth that probably equates to several pdp kits.
Without a doubt, the most technically perfect/gifted drummer around today...
Thanks Thomas for sharing your immense talent to the world.
This guy sounds like a drummer and 2 percussionists playing together. Simply amazing!! What a player!!!!
Independence level 1000!

I would love to get a Master Class from him. What an awesome experience! He is definitely a beast!
This guys just blows my mind! I have been playing drums for a long time and can’t even attempt what Thomas does with ease! Frickin Incredible!!!!
Thomas Lang ... one man possessing the talent of 10 world class drummers in one body . Totally mesmerising ...
How can you do all that at once👍👍 Thomas Lang 💪💪🥁. thanks for not making us feel bored in this lockdown.

Ringo Star didn't quit at the time too.

Best drummer in the world IMO.
he is actually not far from..
@@gixxerboy555 wich is number 1 then , curious
Fenomeno.....ciao Vanni.
Does more melodically with a drum kit than any drummer in history,wow,just wow!
This is what technical and powerful drumming means. Though I could never and ever reach his stunning skills, I keep saying he's so inspirational to me !!! Greetings from Italy
A much more rich and distinct sound for this brilliant piece of music👍🏻😃
Gotta say; I love your work Mr. Lang
NO WORDS!!!!Just thoughts that I cannot process yet……ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!Thomas Lang is from another galaxy etc,I’m not even joking!!!MASTERFUL!!!
Wow.... T.L. he is the best of the best. Congratulations...
I own a PDP Concept Maple.
They are absolutely incredible drums.
The kick independence is just completely mind-numbing. And the change in kick beat going into each chorus is insane. Nobody does it better!
So complex and mind boggling!😳
it just moving forward amazes me !!! WOW!!!!!!
Incredible performance! Those drums & You sound Great!
This is my drum hero right here.
Guy is a machine!
Ross, he really is! It is mind-blowing what he can do and every limb has it's own brain!

Tom is my favorite drummer
There are no words that can do this justice
muy particular el diseño de Lang, inconfundible!
BAD ASS AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Gong drum I've ever heard. Though I'm not a big fan of the composition, the playing is out of this world. Epic drum solo as well obviously
Oh man, the fill coming out of the solo!! Stunning!! 🤘
Awesome performance...
Never cease to amaze me
Amazing.
What a beast !!!
You put so many drumming ideas in every song... it's knowledge compressed. I need to watch 30+ times to digest :)
simple the best, for me the best in the world, master
Thanks for the show ! I’ll never be able to decide who the best is because there are several in my top 5. I’ve already convinced myself there’s no #1.
Great Thomas!
Amazing 🔥
Thomas Lang you're awesome !!!!
Just stunning killer chops but never gets in the way of the music ..love the tune Too
Three drumming is what bakes the song. I found it really dull without all the insane drumming.
Mind blown again.....
In...SANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice barcode under the ride! the kick and gong drum are insane too.
Probably the best drummer to ever lived

i agree with DREAM THEATER. I like MIKE MANGINI but his Solos are for the Shit !! DREAM THEATER has a Problem with THOMAS.... THOMAS is better !!
It was Thomas's choice not to be in a band like Dream Theater.
pwtil Negative. He auditioned and clearly stated he would like to have a band home.
no drummer can save a dead band!
The best forever everrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
Amazing video maestro!
No doubt in my mind....THE Best Drummer In The World!
Setup is friggin great
Thomas Lang toca increíblemente bien, sorprendente su nivel!!
God tier!
Love it so much! And thank you Thomas for this perfect album, i hope you do something similar soon)))
The drum playing machine!!!!
Holy Shitsnacks! This guy is phenomenal.
Wow his in another different level.
Dammmmnnn! TOMMY lost of words.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 WTF!! wowwww!!
Increíble Dios te bendiga 🙏
😱😱😱 Insane!!!
Amazing musician, and a great guy :)
Insane! Just insane!
9issss Sir...
Super !
Amazing left hand and the magic feets!
I just walked out of a practice session pretty confident as I learned "Stargazer" today. It lasted until I clicked this video...
why ?
Joya amigo! Para que voy a seguir tocando la batería? Al pedo! Gracias Thomas, por demostrarnos que siempre se puede estar más lejos jajaka
Loved Bud, God, bless.🙏🏽
Megaa!!!
This is great Thomas. Thanks mate 👍

Who the fuck puts a thumbs down? You may not like the music but the drumming is incredible
No have conditions to reproduces this groove!!

Perfect accuracy and astonishing speed.
Excelente, perfeito! Lindo arranjo de bateria👏 ótima música.

Plays this tune with the same ease I play “Back in Black...” 😂
Wow. That was really cool
The better chops of the world
Hey Thomas, Hammer........du warst immer schon der Wahnsinn.....viele Grüße von mir ( Mahdi - Twin Effect Pedals du weißt schon...).

Ur 4 way independence is insane
Superb as always! Has that kit got a carbon fibre finish? Just curious.
👏👏👏👏
Any chance that the Rata-toms will be abailable for purchase as a set/along with a drumset?
Love both the playing and the song:)
