Not only does Thomas have talent turned up to 11, but he has musicality, pocket and unwavering creativity. And all wrapped up within a humble human being prepared to share his thoughts, techniques and approaches on the kit to us normals. Thank you Thomas for inspiring us.
Tomas Lang is a damn alien from another planet. I've been playing drums all my life and the shit that he comes up with no mortal man would come up with anything like this guy. Not even the African American jazz players or black church choir drummers. As awesome as all of them are this proves his not a normal human being. Because even black folks doesn't sound that funky. And I love black church choir drummers.
To the untrained eyes he seems to be playing the impossible, but for the cunning, he’s not only playing the impossible, but also chewing gum in odd signatures and listening to another music in his ear buds
An absolutely astonishing performance by Thomas Lang. My favorite drummer of all. He seems to defy the drumming Gods with his skill. Rock On Thomas Lang. We all Love you man.
You can see him at the great Vienna festival, the Donauinselfest, on 27th June 1993. I was the drummer of the Austrian singer (like him) Falco, whom I also like very much; it's very moving to see that. Falco and T. Lang loved each other very much. Hello, from France
THOMAS! Always so great experiencing your amazing magic. I just now stumbled across Dream Theater audition thing again, and am so grateful you didn't go that way. The world needs you doing your thing, God. There was never a Thomas Lang before you, and I cannot even imagine how there could ever be another you. Thank you for being.
Thomas' Gesichtsausrücke in Kombination mit diesem genialen Drumming sind einfach die beste audiovisuelle Unterhaltung, die man sich nur vorstellen kann. Einfach ein absolutes Idol!
Cool Cool Cool awesome and so casual (chewing gum and teasing the camera audience) I presume dinner is cooking over there somewhere and you're just waiting to eat filling in time executing an amazing gathering of drumming arrangements. I don't feel sick I feel envy toward a master of his instrument, you don't get this good without a lifetime of dedication. Stay safe make the most of the covid19 lock down practice your rings off and maybe just maybe you could be as good as Thomas. Good luck with that................
maybe the easiest part ahah it's "just" eight note triples subdivided in groups of 4 and used as eight notes of a "new" tempo. Man this video is dope. Every time i hear this man i get more and more surprised!!
My favorite drummers of all time are. 1. - Phil Collins 2. - Deen Castronovo im missing 2 because im having a brain fart.... (excuse me) But hey, your in my top-5 list.... congrats. LOVE This video... subbed because of this video. :)
Dear Mr. Lang This has got to be the most depressing video I've seen. I'm a drummer myself, and the chops, the kit, the impeccable time, the variety of fills used as basically a warp speed demonstration of basic rudiments combined with the sole purpose of kicking my ass. Now I know my headache will only dissipate after watching this video drum extravaganza maybe 50 more times. Just wanted to say thanks.
Many great tech drummers on this planet. But no one matches Thomas Lang's combination of technique, feel and improvisional skills. And he is the one who pushes the limit of possibility in all three areas. Met him three times - very friendly down-to-earth dude.
He plays with such confidence and swagger. Even if it’s just a simple four on the floor, his playing makes you want to get up and groove. And every note he plays is exactly where it should be. I can only hope to be one percent of the drummer he is. This dude is just unreal in his playing. And how he has so much fun is so apparent in his expressions.
I'd like to just add to the fact that besides Thomas being freakishly Superhuman behind the drumkit. Many, many moons ago having been extremely fortunate I got to meet him at a drum clinic in Adelaide Australia, and being just a helper on the day was invited out for a bite with him and some of the other clinician's after the event. He was a lovely, down to earth all round good guy that enjoyed a chat, and of which it was damn humbling to be able to just sit and chat with a guy that had literally only a few hours before blown my mind with his abilities and humour. It completely destroyed my naive and preconceived assumptions that a superstar player of this calibre would even dare just hang out with us mere mortals eating pizza and having a beer and I will never forget it. Thank you Thomas for the inspiration you give us aspiring drummers by showing us what is capable.
Awesome story,But to be honest(and sorry to say and or admit)What he just played on here is not possible!!!THOMAS LANG IS AN ALIEN,NOONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!
I bought one of his DVD’s many years ago. I couldn’t play a fucking thing he was playing and I had been playing for years at the time. Total waste of money. He’s that good.
Un. Freaking. Believable. Not only does he OBLITERATE 4/4 cut time, but the polyrhythms are STUPID SICK. "Genius" doesn't even come close. And to throw this down off the top of your head and all improvised is INSANE, Langsy. YOU'RE JUST JAMMIN'! AND chewing gum at the same time???!!! My new top 5 drummer list is: 5: Your RIGHT hand. 4: Your LEFT hand. 3: Your LEFT foot. 2: Your RIGHT foot. 1: Your BRAIN. THANKS FOR THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO, LANGSY!!!!!!
That was incredible stuff.. the last 30 seconds is the grooviest drumming I've ever seen.. I am still mind blown.. after watching it approximately 100 times
Terminator Lang does it again. " I have come back from the future to show you the evolution of drumming."
I agree 💯💯💯💯💯
thomas lang is like a fine wine, he only gets better with time!
Whoever gave this legend a thumbs down, is completely ignorant to an absolute musical genius!!!!!
Not only does Thomas have talent turned up to 11, but he has musicality, pocket and unwavering creativity. And all wrapped up within a humble human being prepared to share his thoughts, techniques and approaches on the kit to us normals. Thank you Thomas for inspiring us.
That's impossible 😱😱😱 all in one take!
The Best Drummer the world
Do not forget virgil donati!
that crash to the right of his ride sounds incredible
One and only one legendary
Thomas shows the pinnacle of drumming mastery!!
Wow...probably the most technical out there, so good!

Best drummer of this generation

Ok, so what just happened? Incomprehensible........ to be able to play half this good would be a dream come true. You are an amazing musician!
Thamas lang you are my favorite drummer
I'm still processing round 1. Excellent drumming.

I’ll never have as much control as you. But your lessons have brought my control to a higher level thanks. Keep on rocking.
An absolutely astonishing performance by Thomas Lang. My favorite drummer of all. He seems to defy the drumming Gods with his skill. Rock On Thomas Lang. We all Love you man.

My brain couldn't even keep up with watching, so I just kind of sat here smiling and gold clapping! What a beast.

Thomas Lang is the closest drummer to if I got drunk and programmed drums rediculously fast
Nice 😍
He's the Arnold Schwarzenegger of drummers!
Goddamn beast!!!

Another day at the office for Thomas 🥁
Lang's incredible submission made all of the vocalists quit too. ;)
That's just not human
I love how him and Jost Nickel can use a cowbell without making it sound like total cheese loll

You know what's even hotter than that insane jam?
The fire my kit is going to make when I go home and burn it. Thanks for that...
Murray Sutcliffe dude I’m
Peeing myself LOL
I bought one of his DVD’s many years ago. I couldn’t play a fucking thing he was playing and I had been playing for years at the time. Total waste of money. He’s that good.
Man Lang is a walking embodiment of drumming excellence. Every now and then Keith Moons spirit manifests in his face.
Thomas Lang is that final boss battle you can't beat.
Thomas has hands down become my favorite drummer in the last five years or so. Plus he just seems like he would be awesome to hang out with.
Un. Freaking. Believable. Not only does he OBLITERATE 4/4 cut time, but the polyrhythms are STUPID SICK. "Genius" doesn't even come close.

Decent one take.
You are almost as good at applying flawless technique in context, as I am at drinking beer and eating cheese pops on Wednesday.
That was incredible stuff.. the last 30 seconds is the grooviest drumming I've ever seen.. I am still mind blown.. after watching it approximately 100 times
