Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Well, here it is! Since my recent stream on Drum Channel many of you have been asking about this specific drum set configuration. many of you wanted to see details of this kit so here it is. The right HiHat is mounted on the kick drum, the pedals are MCD chain drive pedals, the HiHats are both direct drive. Both Toms are also snares, or the snares are toms...however you want to look at it. Rata Tom and Concert Bass drum to the left of the left HiHat. Cowbell played with the left foot and muffle rings, leather hoops, old-school kick drum beaters and a Nickel over Brass main snare. Lots of reading material for all drum nerds like myself!
Thomas is so passionate and charming when talking about his drums.
Wow!!! I've never thought of muffling the second stroke while playing doubles on the cowbell. This is enlightening. Thank you Mr Thomas as always for your continued inspiration. Love from Nigeria.
I wish every drummer could experiment the ways you do. You’re amazing and that kit is awesome!
Every couple of years I find new inspiring content coming from your drumming developments.
Thanks for sharing your passion and ideas the way you do! 🍻
Thomas is one of the few drummers that a tour around his set is a small concert with "secret tips" thrown in. What an amazing talent Mr. Lang is. I have to admit I watch all of his videos at least twice and I always hear or see something new the 2nd round.
There are good drummers, great drummers and Thomas Lang. Thank god for UA-cam.
So locker und präzise… sehr elegant.
This whole video makes me happy. Super interesting setup, but I think the most enjoyable part of it is to see how happy Thomas seems when he's playing. A cool fish in the right waters. Thank you so much!
I love that Thomas explores all the possibilities of drumming, out of the box thinking but maintaining the essentials of great drumming. Not forgetting to mention the way he explains everything. He makes learning exciting and easily understood.
Thanks Mattie!
How lucky we are to have this guy and the internet in our musical lives
Top of the mountain, top tier drummer! Best theirs ever been! What a genius mad scientist of a drummer! God bless Thomas Lang!!!!
Thomas Lang is so inspiring. His enthusiasm for drumming and creativity is infectious.
Possibly the nicest sounding collection of cymbals I have ever heard.
Continually expanding the realms of possibilities with drums and percussion. Nothing is ever off the table. Thomas could hit a series of dustbin lids and make them sound like they are worth thousands of pounds. His ingenuity, imagination and technical ability knows no boundaries. Absolutely outstanding musician and a talent that that you may only see a few times in a generation. Hes devoted his life to the art and whilst there are many outstanding drummers out there covering many genres, I never tire of listening to Thomas and always look forward to what hes going to come up with next. I will never ever reach his level, and Im not being a defeatist at all because I know my limits, but he does inspire me to at least be the very best that I can be. He is a incredible musician ..... or should we say .... "magician" within the art?
Thank you for your professional, clear, on-point presentation, mixed with your chilled, always humorous nature, very inspiring and informative, you really found your equipment that fits your style and strengthen your sound. An austrian master in America !!
Vielen Dank!
Entertaining tour through the kit and short demos in between to die for 😃🤘🤘
A lesson in playing with dynamics and at the same time a pure joy watching a master of drums. And you make it looks so easy!
Every time I watch TL play, Just makes me smile ear to ear. Such a creative & innovative world class drummer/musician. Thanks for the upload 😀
I could watch those videos all day long. Drumporn of the highest order
Those cymbal sounds incredible. Meinl must crap their pants daily to be fortunate enough to sponsor the great TL.
That’s one insane kit. He’s always been my favorite drummer and I regard him as the best really.
Random UA-cam suggestion. Damn, this dude is insane! Definitely diving into his other videos.
Have fun down the rabbit hole, Thomas Lang is one of the greatest drummers of the last 20 years.
Wow! Thanks for the tour! And the mini lessons that came along with it. Your are truly inspirational - thanks Thomas!
That 20 X 18 is just ball rattling, love the whole kit...
No disrespect to Dave Grohl, for he's one of my favorite musicians, but I get so sick of people saying he's the best drummer in the world. I'm pretty sure he'd agree that he's a great drummer a world class song writer, but he's got nothing on Thomas. Get a clue. I live with a pair of drumsticks in arms reach always, and I just hope I become half of what this guy is on the drums!
@Topjunkieno disrespect to him , but yep!
Ghost notes at 10:20 is just stellar. Love the 6". Excellent
I love the thoughtful/methodical approach to how you setup and use your instrument. Well done.
SO much awesomeness in this video!! Thank-you Thomas(and Chris)!
Our pleasure!
Chris “ Daddy “ Dave comes to my mind who also has all Snare Drums on his kit first and foremost!🎼
Exactly just was finna say that
I always appreciate how creative you are when it comes to your setup, a real inspiration
We need The All Kick Kit™️ next 🤩
Such a machine, always impressed.
Great Rig Run Down!!! Love it!!!
I don't care for the sound of really big or really small snares generally but I always support setting up interesting kits and experimentation with setups. Easily one of the most fun part of drums imo. It's like a toy building set that you get to play music with.
Thomas is very informative and instructional on his technique and equipment. A very entertaining discussion.
I love when he goes on these really long jamming tangents between describing each piece 😆
Thomas Lang is a pure genius.
I love the sympathetic snare buzz constantly happening while talking 😂
You're always coming up with fresh stuff... very inspiring!!
wow those drum snippets are perfect for adding some music on top! I'm gonna try that.
Massive respect for your talent and fresh approach to drumming. Thankyou.
Awesome !! I always watch your videos teacher Thomas lang. I learn a lot with your techniques... Greetings from Lima-Peru
16:40 LMAO. Demos his ride with absolutely *flawless* push/pull technique.
This guy’s an animal.
Without doubt one of the greats
Wow. Incredible sound. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Lang!
The cymbals are all "mine all" ;-) Greets Thomas - from Austria!
Conga snare! I love it 😁 Thanks for sharing Thomas
Mate!!! Your Rata Tom and concert bass drum grooves!! WOW
That is a really cool kit. Way outside the box.
Hey Thomas, you are a killer👺 I love listening to your drum playing🤘
I’ve incorporated many of the same concepts on my drum sets, except without the same resources, or anywhere near the chops. The rhythmic journey is so much fun.
Love it Thomas! Always a fresh approach!
Too much greatness, can hardly handle it. GOAT.
Immer wieder neue coole Ideen. Mega😀👍👍👍🥁
Playing legendary timing out of this world!!!
Love the sound of that bell hi hat with the pedal
What a treat, totally amazing!
Thomas Lang is just something else!
AWESOME Tom!!! Wish I could spend a year with you mate!! Sort my playing right out!!! 👊🏻👊🏻
Is simply funny to come up with all the different contrasts that result from the different kinds of drums.
I thought that was fantastic Thomas Lane you're my favorite very creative and I love that thanks again bless you
This feels like a kit that is built from the ground up for grooving in the pocket. This is not a fills/chops kit. Super cool. THIS is the drumming I love to see and hear.
🧢
Ayyye, love a good drum kit tour.
I don't really even know where Thomas lang is from. What bands hes been in. I dont even really know much of his playing(from songs,bands,albums) just only literally from videos like this,watching him play. So with all that said, hes like the drummer that i dont even know, bit hes one of the very few top drummers ever, in any part of the world. And you cant even debate on it he just is
I like how he gets lost in the joy of playing while doing a "kit tour" 😆
Hummmmm ... I see a Yamaha Phoenix .. Gorgeous !!
I like how he thinks the gong drum is his “secret weapon”
creativity to the max.
Thomas equals legend 🥁🥁
just love all of this!
Thomas is the best drummer in the world. Vinnie is amazing, too.
Always 'Evolving' Herr Kommissar ;-)
Batera mais ninja que já vi! Fodaaa!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks again for another gear run down...
And some "food" for thought.... 🥁
LOL at the audio when the camera operator was under the snares, Thomas sounded like a drive-thru speaker.
Freaken cool Thomas 👍
Nice snare drum!
The Man.
He is just like "yeah so I added this piece to the set" *proceed to blow your fucking brain with an extremely high precision, fast and tight drum solo you cannot even comprehend what is he hitting or where did it came from*
Dream kit
How I like clever drummers
Total badass
Gorgeos Lang and Gorgeos set !!!
Hi Thomas, I've watched your creative control video since a long time ago and I was so looking forward to buying the same practice pads that you had- called the Remo Thomas Lang Practice kit. RP-1200 when I could afford it.
Now that I possibly could, I was wondering if you would ever release another variant of that practice pad kit.
I've been working on that idea for several years now and yes, I would like to revisit the original design and even tweak/ improve it some more. I will post all about it when it is ready to be released.
Maestro!
Awesome.
🔥🔥🔥
The curse of my dw collectors series is the lugs going loose on the kick!
tolles Kit
Legend
I call this the Chris Dave setup
Hi Thomas!
Fantastic playing as always 🙌
Any insight or advice you could give to why you chose the MCD over the MDD's? Do they play or feel very similar to the 9000 pedal aside from the perforated foot board?
Or if anyone wouldn't mind chiming in; I have a 9000, and would love to try a MDD or MCD if it'd be a worthy upgrade, but my local music shops don't have any to play or demo.
Big fan and looked up to you and your drumming for 10+ years now, thanks for all you do! 🙏
But, didn’t you like banging around on Simon Phillips set with all of those different voices and colors of sound?
¿Haven't thought about having a definitive drum and cymbal setup for the rest of your career that expresses your personal sound? You are one of the most chameleon drummers for permanently changing kits.
Could you put snares on the bass drum?
That floor/bass drum with only top skin sounds awesome.
I'd be interested to know how high the bass drum beaters are set at. In all of his videos, it looks like they're on the low side - not sure if that's the case or just an optical illusion, but beater height is a huge pedal adjustment variable.
Imagine if he just made a kit with concert bass drums.
Where do you get the 14x14 Snare/Tom...? I think i can convert my floor tom. How would you tune it and what reso head would you use, and snare wire size?
Drumeo had a great video with Larnell Lewis about snoms a few years ago, he breaks down his whole tuning method.
That dark high hat killed my grandfather in WW2.
When Luftwaffe went full auto.
Mine too! ... gave me ptsd 😮
This actually makes so much sense just throw the snare wire off and you have a normal kit
What brand and size sticks do you normally use , they look huge and beefy, been watching your videos for a while , your are an awesome drummer, keep up the great content, and keep playing, stay safe 👍
I use the Vic Firth Thomas Lang Signature model. Thanks Ken!
