@@MrCaliforniabound glad he’s finally being recognized like he belongs. Still absolutely no shade on Thomas though. Cream of the crop from his drumming generation
Thomas Lang is one of the cleanest sounding drummer of all time... Every single stroke sounds very clean and with he's speed and tecnical power a hero on this drum-planet ❤️
Wow! You play those 9 and 7 stroke rolls so impeccably clean and tasteful that they actually become a *pure joy* to listen to !!! I don't know if I have ever _enjoyed_ listening to anyone playing "exercises" before... 😃
You've gotta love the difference Roto Toms and and Concert Toms have from double-headed toms. I always loved the sound of Concert Toms in outdoor venues.
It's amazing how easy you do some super nice fills like as you drinking water or walking.Also the tuning of your kits always are excellent.It's so funny when you show something as example and the most learners spend years to reach these levels!!
Chief-Overlord on Drums! Und was für ein geiler Sound. Und überhaupt. Grad mal ein paar wenige Videos von Herrn Lang geschaut, und einfach jedes Mal völlig baff. Ihre Art, die Tricks zu zeigen, ist auch sehr inspirierend. Vielen Dank für all die Mühe!
i bought a set of these back in the mid 90's after watching mike mangini live with extreme. the next day, i was at an unnamed box store ordering a full set. one of the best purchases ever, as i play them on gigs almost every week. nobody expects that size of a kit to emerge from my clown car, lol. anyway, i'm glad i got them then cause they're no longer available, and cost 5 times what i payed for them on the market now. thanks for the amazing video as always, Thomas. you're the man
@@georgecostanza7777 super good to know. thank you!! i actually found a guy locally who has a full rack of them he's looking to sell, so i may be in luck ;-)
WHAT SOUND AND RHYTHM???? WHAT VIDEO WERE YOU WATCHING? THERE WAS NO RHYTHMS HERE!! ALL THOSE ROLLS SOUNDED STERILE, LIFELESS AND COMPLETELY UNMUSICAL! THE ARTIFICIAL MUSIC FROM MY PHONE SOUNDS MORE MUSICAL THAN ANY OF THIS.. WAKE UP!
My Thomas Lang drumsticks by Vic Firth arrived today. I've always used 2b drumsticks but was looking for something with a little more weight and thicker. These sticks delivered!! I use the butt end of the stick with my left hand and and the tip end with my right hand. I have finally found the drum sticks that suit my style of playing. Thomas Lang , love your drumming!!!
Well done Thomas, you are a drum machine, and one of the most disciplined and well-worked drummers, I really admire the comfort and discipline in your playing, good luck in your huge work!!!!!
@@aquafishes That whole process was simply to advertise the band as TL says. They knew which drummer they wanted the whole time. But don't blame the band it was more the label and managers idea.
I thought that audition process was very arrogant.... To get 4 or 5 of the worlds best drummers in to turn them down, I didn't see the point, apart obviously to gain more exposure for the band..... They should of had Thomas in my humble opinion..... I saw an interview with Mangini after he got in DT and he just cut the guy off , sorry gotta go .....
@@aquafishes Thomas is better than Mike Portnoy and Mike Mangini, in terms of drums. He mustn't have fit in with them for other reasons. Even Portnoy said Lang is better than him.
I'm always surprised that we don't see more people using full rototom kits like this. The are so cool and sound terrific.
I get the sense they are hard to find.
I think it's because people are obsessed with how everything looks and rotos aren't the prettiest thing ever
@@gabrielzunino8427 Yes!! the larger sizes are quite hard to get!!
They got A LOT of ring. Specially in live contexts.
@@max_mvo Thomas Lang solved the excess ring issue with full zero-rings. Seems to work well...
What a great sounding set of toms. I’ve loved rotos since Bill Bruford used them. 👌
Thomas is at the very top of the drumming food chain. Phenomenal musician and player.
He’s up there just not at the very top, Matt gartska has that bar none.

@@MrCaliforniabound Larnell Lewis
@@christianmolina1199 great drummer, def not in the same conversation as Matt gartska.
And Lard is at the bottom!
2:23 probably the cleanest single strokes ever performed around the toms.

I don't even drum, I just like watching this guy do the exercises :) It's beautiful to watch and hear

Amazing sir🔥salute to you..and thanks for sharing❤
Bill Bruford and Phil Collins made amazing use of rototoms as early as 1975!
My dream set. Love the roto sound feel and ability to spin them up and down
Valuable lesson. I practice these items but not in this capacity. Will definitely apply this to my regiment. Thanks Thomas! Much appreciated.
Thomas Lang another creative unbelievable drummer your exercises are very helpful
Beautiful! Great approach and tutorial.
You've gotta love the difference Roto Toms and and Concert Toms have from double-headed toms. I always loved the sound of Concert Toms in outdoor venues.
Fantastic stuff Thomas. Thank you 🙏 ♥️♥️🥰 the lil 6” unmuted tops it off perfectly for my ears.
Crazy smooth!!! Love the reference to Terry! Peace from Detroit MI.
Awesome training/educational video. Thank you!
Thank you! Love the roto tom sounds
This man is a monster of the drums
It's amazing how easy you do some super nice fills like as you drinking water or walking.Also the tuning of your kits always are excellent.It's so funny when you show something as example and the most learners spend years to reach these levels!!
I really appreciate your creative exercises and interesting setups.
Your dynamics are stellar bucko.
Solid technique and great teacher. One of the few fast drummers that put soul into everything he plays.
Thomas: "Oh you just do this". Me: Really? Time to sell my drums again after a TL lesson! Great stuff as always.
Must’ve spent a fortune just watching his UA-cam videos huh..? Lol
Don't watch his camps excerpts, you may decide to gauge your eyes.
Just practice it’s not that hard repeating repetition
Ya I can’t get his double stroke technique at all
Why? There’s something called practice if you give up just for witnessing someone play better then you your not a real drummer
Amazing as always sir 👍 love the set ! Very cool 🤟🏼
Those sound so great! WOW!!
My brain melts everytime I see him play, incredible
I love the sounds you’re getting from these!
That's awesome! It was always really hard to watch Thomas struggle to get around the kit, I think these things will really help him out!

Thomas you are the best ,precisione, groove ,fill ,power ,today you are the most complete.
Amazing lessons Thomas Lang👍🤜🥁🤛👍. Greetings from Las Vegas N.V 👍🤜🥁🤛👍
Oh my god. This is soooo cool! Please keep posting these 🤘🏻
Probably the best sounding roto Tom kit I’ve heard.
I officially want a Roto kit now. Thanks Thomas!
Epic roto tom kit....your drumming is so precise! Very inspirational as a fellow drummer!
A MACHINE!!!! BEST OF THE BEST!!!! APPRECIATE YOU
Wow! These sound incredible.
The most beautiful drums sound I've ever listened to in my whole life. Congratulations on this amazing tune.
Glad you like it!
Incredible master!
Those sound like full body drums post EQ'd, sound killer, thanks for sharing.
There isn't a lot of EQ on these!

great lesson, thank you. More please
TL plays like a machine. Very awesome and also very impressive. He doesn't need a band, he is alredy a band.
Just see this pop up in my feed. Ridiculous! You're amazing, dude!
Best sound I ever got was years ago in a studio. Lovely rototoms!!
Thanks Thomas!
Amazing drummer.thanks.watching from sta margarita samar Phillipines

wow! sounds great
Hypnotizing
He’s so accurate 💪
awsome sound
Loved the cymbals
Awesome stuff Thomas... I mixed foh for a band with a drummer with an all roto kit in 1982 !!!
Great. Now I want a rototom kit. ARGH! THANKS, THOMAS. 😁
Reminds me of Terri Bozzio's drumming the ostinato series he released in the 90s
LOVE roto kits!
Love the rotos
I LLOOOOOOOOVE rototoms 🥰🥰🥰🥰
this is crazy good
Voce é fera....... Brasil/ Piracicaba/ SP
thank you... very... nice...
Well done Thomas, you are a drum machine, and one of the most disciplined and well-worked drummers, I really admire the comfort and discipline in your playing, good luck in your huge work!!!!!
Awesome!
Master At Work.
Love Roto-Toms.
Thomas is such a beast and buttery smooth at the same time. What a guy,
the rototoms stack up really easily and are stored in a small vat of lard
The best drums.
So clean
Those sound So Good
If Thomas can get them to sell the larger roto toms again, I will be so happy
I wish Remo would sell the kits again. It would be great to buy this setup ready to go with brand new mounting hardware
Steve Weiss music makes them up to 16”
Thomas is damn machine!!
Best drum teacher in the world
Jackie McDow from Waco/Long Beach moves his Roto Toms while he's playing/soloing . Good Video ThX !
Thomas is a relatively skilled drummer, huh? He might even be ready to play for a band soon
But not Dream Theater, according to Tom...

brilliant thomas
Великий мастер. Сумасшедшую работу проделал над собой. Гений.
I like Tomas! Powerful drummer!
I love RoTo toms! Thomas has been one of my favorite drummers for awhile now. Now I want to see him bust out the intro to Time 🌈⏰ 🕰 🌈
lol He could probably do that with one hand
I wish remo would bring back all the roto tom sizes 6-18 inch
Check out Steve Weiss, they have their own brand up to 16"!
my face just melted
Thomas is a real monster. So imrpessive !
Super !
3 up 2 down is my personal favorite. My next kit will also have a gong drum and an aux kick 👌
