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.
Anything you keep practicing doesn't keep you the same, you improve. He's Better here than he was 6 years ago. Look at Ian Paice, the only remaining member of Deep Purple. At 72 he destroys drum kits!
This is great. So good to see Lang playing something that us humans can have a go at. Much more enjoyable to watch how he built up with intensity rather than not knowing how or what he is playing.
I very much appreciate your commitment to recording full takes. That's a great bit of information to get out there as it is a testimony to your musicianship.
Браво, Томас!! Всегда захватывает дух от твоей игры!! Неповторимое движение в музыке и очень, очень профессионально. Радует то,что ещё не раз будем восхищаться твоей музыкой!!
Awesome ... well done!!! Thomas is one of my favourite drummers. Wish I could play half as well as he does ... makes everything he does look so easy and effortless on his part.
I really appreciate the one take and knowing your material. I recorded a lot in the 80's and 90's on tape... we had to play it and know it. Great job man!
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.
+Takanashi Iori Thanks Takanashi! It's not a cover though. This is the original version of the song. This video is from the recording session for Theo's album. Thanks!
Hello Thomas, yes i looked it now several times in the last month, if there was the possibility to give you more thumbs up i would give you a lots of, because you are my favorite drummer and for me you are the best of this planet ever thanks for this video :-) by the way i like the song very much to :-)
Great job Thomas, I noticed the breaks! Lol, you're so aggressive it's awesome watching you play I'm always floored by your talent, dedication, and hard work you've put into your profession. 😊
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.

@@StanleyRodgers WHAT?!?! THAT'S HILARIOUS!!
THOMAS LANG behind a SPICE GIRL!!!
I saw that video of him on drumeo as well and was also in awe lol. Hes an outstanding all around great drummer no doubt about it
Who can say that? This guy is dynamic and simply amazing at drums.
Thomas is the real deal, he has it all - Alien like abilities with groove, heart, spirit and quantum level technique!
He always makes it look so effortless.... He is simply one of the best.
This man is a machine...not one weak note. Every note contemplated and performed...

Astounding as usual and it's nice seeing Lang play a song rather than a solo or drum gymnastics.
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.
Eatme Douche Nobody wants to hear that... except maybe other drummers.
Update guys: It's now nearing the end of 2022 and this drumming is STILL incredible! Quality doesn't age.
Anything you keep practicing doesn't keep you the same, you improve. He's Better here than he was 6 years ago.
Look at Ian Paice, the only remaining member of Deep Purple. At 72 he destroys drum kits!
Never, NEVER disappoints. What a powerhouse technical drummer that can swing, too!!!!
This is great. So good to see Lang playing something that us humans can have a go at. Much more enjoyable to watch how he built up with intensity rather than not knowing how or what he is playing.
his technique is just so damn advanced. simply amazing.
Agreed. One of nicest techniques I've ever witnessed
His classical background is the key to his top notch technique.
I very much appreciate your commitment to recording full takes. That's a great bit of information to get out there as it is a testimony to your musicianship.
Nice Mr. Lang. Very nice.
The only drummer alive that can not be replicated !!!!!!
Master!! the best! Thomas Lang!! Thanks for all this chops and grooves! the perfect in sound!
Браво, Томас!! Всегда захватывает дух от твоей игры!! Неповторимое движение в музыке и очень, очень профессионально. Радует то,что ещё не раз будем восхищаться твоей музыкой!!
clean and solid, the sound of a master of drums.
this guy will be pretty good in a few years
lmfaoooo!!!! you're hilarious.
I dunno... It's been 2 years since you made that bold statement and he's still playing a bit like a newb :P
Blows the socks off many many drummers
of course @@micahgrubb6867, I was making a bad joke
Needs a few more years of practice.
Awesome! This is the first video I've seen where he isn't playing some impossible drum solo at 200 bpm.
your simplistic approach on nailing the melodic musicality in this song was great Thomas, well played. "the man has been paid, now it's time to play".
Awesome ... well done!!! Thomas is one of my favourite drummers. Wish I could play half as well as he does ... makes everything he does look so easy and effortless on his part.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, BROTHER!!!!! FIRST TAKE MADNESS!!!!!! HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!
Beautiful, just beautiful and alive.
Love that ride.
I really appreciate the one take and knowing your material. I recorded a lot in the 80's and 90's on tape... we had to play it and know it. Great job man!
He plays it with a lightness... unbelievable..... Greetings from Germany
Holy crap! You are an inspiration to me. Thanks, Pete
Always enjoy watching your playing. Such an inspiration.
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.

That was solid!! I love the breaks in the middle. I could feel his expressions. Some of the craziest and fastest feet I think.
Playing for the Music. Bravo Mr. Lang!! Always a pleasure to see you play :)
Thomas, as usual, EXCELLENT! This GROOVES hard man!
How could someone dislike this video?
These people would gripe if you gave them a bar of gold that had dirt on it.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Thomas Lang you’re awesome drummer and awesome person
a man that always delivers
FINALLY!!!!! A long awaited cover!!!!! You are always my one of my biggest influences!!! And PERFECT ending :333
+Takanashi Iori Thanks Takanashi! It's not a cover though. This is the original version of the song. This video is from the recording session for Theo's album. Thanks!
His mimics and facial expressions make it look even more badass! :D
Nice to hear all that technique in a musical context.
And that's how it's done folks! Masterful!
Hello Thomas, yes i looked it now several times in the last month, if there was the possibility to give you more thumbs up i would give you a lots of, because you are my favorite drummer and for me you are the best of this planet ever thanks for this video :-) by the way i like the song very much to :-)
