    This video is for all the people who think he is only a hand and foot speed guy. I watched his lesson on "Drumeo" and the host sort of sat there in awe as he flew through various rudiment combinations like he was answering simple questions about some banal topic. He's done his work and it shows. And he can grove as well as the rest. What a giant.

      Like Kenny said, Thomas is and has been a reliable and in demand studio drummer since long before he started making videos and blowing other drummer's minds. Heck, he toured with Geri Halliwell when she first went solo. Straight pop drumming right there.

    Thomas is probably my favorite drummer living today. Just amazing. My only comment-and this goes for 85% of the drumming videos I’ve watched from everybody across the planet-the toms aren’t loud enough. I can barely hear them. Especially when the music is playing; the toms get completely lost. The snare always cuts through loud and clear, the toms are the red-headed step-children of the drum kit. Again, on nearly every video I watch, no matter who is drumming.

      I hear ya, bro, I hate it when he does all that super talented, really, really difficult stuff that we aspire to be able to do and repeatedly just displays his drumming prowess. I'm gonna go watch some AC/DC.

    Fantastic playing, Thomas. I love your beautiful hand technique ... this seems to get overlooked because of your skill with the feet. I was not surprised when I saw in one of your interviews that your started with a Richard Hochrainer book. You must have had some good solid training right from the start. Though I play classical percussion first and drum set second, your outstanding playing and dedication are inspiring to me no matter what I am doing.

    Hard hitting damn. I used his sig sticks for years, they are so heavy but feel so good. I eventually stopped using them when I realized they were too much for my little girly-dude wrists, but they really helped me let go and throw/catch. And they are so heavy they make it easy to play cleanly and consistently. And the buzz rolls with them are pure perfection with no effort since they hold so much potential energy due to the weight and bounce like mad. Great sticks if you're an average or bigger dude. I still use them on the practice pad though.
