Saw Dom at a clinic in Wellington New Zealand in 1994 age 21. I am now 50, still remember him, his power, technical chops, positive kind type. Engaging too. RIP Dom. You were awesome. My mother died of cancer in October, I just returned from NZ back to the UK where I moved to in 2000 for her funeral. Sad time, but onwards & upwards.
Dom had a powerful effect on everyone he met & helped. Sorry about your loss & yes....Onward & Upward!
I took over 10 years lessons with Elliot Fine who, along with Marv Dahlgren, wrote 4-way coordination. It's wonderful to hear that Thomas Lang and Dom said their names here. Elliot would show a big smile RIP
Saw these 2 drum legends..live @the Adams drumming-festival.. ,back in 1997 in Diest (Belgium)..both where awesome..Thomas Lang but also Dom Famularo as well.. (I had a brother in law..also a very good drummer..Vassili..from Genk..(Belgium)..Dom..you know him in person..you've spoken to him and went with @his parents house.. remember? ;)
Great hearing from you! Yes, I remember! Great times! Thanks!
I can listen to Dom talk all day
This Guy's Technique is Out Of This World. Tom Lang is so Smooth its Like Spreading Butter on a Hot Piece of Toast. He is My Drum Hero.
very intelligent guy, no hesitation with his delivery and hes speaking in a foreign language.No accident hes amazing .
No one gets guests to talk freely like Dom. Simple, open questions = success.
Thank you, appreciate your support & sharing too! We are glad to have Dom on our team at The Sessions!
Always just thought Thomas was just the Prime Minister of Drumnastics (athletic drumming), an incredible technician. He is so much more than that. Thank you Dom for showing us what a great, dedicated musician Thomas Lang is.
I heard Famularo introduce Thomas to the audience at a Roland clinic once, saying: 'he redefined the meaning of drumming'. Best way to put it. Thanks Dom!
Two legends right there.
Both Fantastic musicians and great guys.
Great interview; a wealth of information in this video
Wonderful ❤
I have just recently discovered these two guys ,they are now on my favourite list along with The professor ,you all know the Professor !
❤🥁❤
Incredible drummer
Man, I remember 20 years ago “creative control” dvd completely awesome. Time flys
Love it. Thomas! Not only a phenomenal musician but speaks better English than most Americans.
A comment about talent; I agree that passion , discipline and hard work can be misconstrued as 'talent" as Lang says--but there is another element that's taken this man to the highest level in drumming/percussion, and that is intelligence. Lang is obviously very intelligent and when discerning very complicated rhythm patterns and time signatures--some people can 'get it ' and others never will. All the passion and hard work in the world will never get you to this level if you are not 'intelligent" . I have been a teacher for over 40 years and I have learned that talent and associated success in any discipline is eventually related to the student's level of understanding. When I listen to Lang on his videos about time and rhythms I am blown away--this is not an average person by any means. Always impressed with this man.
Talent exists because everyone is unique.
We need a reverse-interview channel.. with Dom being interviewed by many world class drummers, as he is a legend himself. Lang always a superb humble drummer and person!
Agreed!! Be sure to watch Dom's interview by Liberty Devitto & Paul Quin, founding members of The Sessions and also drummers! ua-cam.com/video/z3p4oOPZ8jU/v-deo.html
What an AMAZING interview. Dom sure knows how to make people talk, and Thomas, well... is Thomas. Loved it!
“Stumbled up the ladder” How awesome!!! Just like so many of us in all aspects of life . Great interview !!
Loved his idea that he doesn't believe in talent just passion, good support, right practicing now teacher's help if you're fortunate but even if your self taught you apply good practicing and in the end determination comes. That great message gives many drummer's the drive to get good. Believing in it's just talent hinders you but if you believe in his system the ski is the limit in your mind and you can be really good if you put in the effort✌
Two amazing drummers,two amazing teachers!!!! TY
Great Interview, Thanks for all, Dom. Thanks for inspiring me, Thomas! You guys, are great!
Deth Santos Thanks so much!!!
Wonderful. Thomas is a friend and someone I have admired for many years
Great interview. Thomas your a very nice and gracious guy and I enjoyed listening to your thoughts. Oh yeah Dom is the bomb 2 thumbs up
so inspiring Thomas is to listen too good advice and he had good energy too.
Mr Lang is a monster. 👌🏻🤙🏻
Both these guys are super cool. I am enjoying this series. Very insightful opinions here.
Thanks! Appreciate your support of our Series!
Do you not miss Vienna? I live there through choice and we miss you there!
Seeing Dom's reactions to Thomas playing during his drum clinic at the midwestrhythmsummit.org was one of the best highlights of my life. Two legends admiring each other, what experience. Thank again for the great time I hope to see dom and the sessions crew back at Terra State next year for year 3 of such an amazing event.
So inspiring! This interview was phenomenal!
Both of these gentlemen have phenomenal drumming talents, but as a fellow educator I was equally impressed by how well they instructed at the Midwest Rhythm Summit. The clinics were amazing and The Sessions is an incredible experience that is changing lives. Excellent, noble work!
Thanks Ryan! We appreciate your support of what we do for musicians and had a great event at Midwest Rhythm Summit!
great interview
Amazing interview. Thank you 🥁
I'm just a guitarist who love great drummers. But, every drummer has to watch this interview!
Truly inspirational 👍❤️
Thanks Dom great Adventure.
Another great interview and another great drummer to check out .Love,Light and Peace Namaste 🙏
I love this!
Excellent drum lesson about ideas and facts concerning life and music!
Inspiring as always! Thank You So Much for this!
Great Interview Thanks Dom!
Great Interview!
Astonishing talk!
Great person! Thanks for interview
Such an underrated drummaaar!!! Drumminator!! End to End drummer!!
Underrated? He is vastly viewed as the best of the best.
Underrated lol
👏👏👏👏👏
Dom! love all your interviews, you are doing some good!!!!
Thanks @zippie41! Appreciate the support & share of these interviews
Thank you!
like twoset says, "practice 40 hours a day!!!"
Ling Ling...
Great interview, very inspiring.
He's so mulottic he could be on anybody's record and I have no doubt that the late great Michael Jackson would picked him up
Thanks for the content Dom. Have you considered Tommy Igoe or Jojo Mayer for an interview? Could be a good one.
Great stuff. Just one thing about "talent myth"...So many people dedicated their lives in arts or sport but 1 in a billion is Michael Jordan,Maradona,Pastoruis,Buddy Rich...just to name few.They all have something extra that transcends reason,practice etc.All greats are born with inner knowledge/expression and trough endless practice they master it.I can spend 300 years painting but will never be Picasso.
Yes...you and I will never be Picasso...but we will be the best we can do! Thanks!
Talent exists because everyone is unique.
Such an inspiring person, he must be an Austrian
Yes, he's born at Vienna, Austria
@@blankvoidsea Wien ...Wien ....nur Du allein ........
Great interview. I wonder what the guys in the control room are talking about =D
He would have been great for dream theater. They really need his accuracy as well as his originality. Mike showed his originality with extreme maybe he has been told not they want a carbon copy.
Yes, Put in the work. Great player but his information rings on beyond a Cymbal note. Yes, learn Software. Thanks Again Sessions.
Would be great to see Martin Grubinger und Thomas Lang playing together :D
I think it would be great if the interviewer asked the question "What can't you do on the drums that you want to do?" To basically humanize the experience at Lang's experience level. OR "What are you trying to do on the drums that you can't do yet?" At a technical and artistic level.
And how are you approaching this?
Thomas isn't just a drummer. He is beyond a virtuoso. Just being a drummer is what he said he was trying to change to get his drumming to another level & stop being so predictably boring by playing everything the same, as most drummers, for which they have all been doing for decades now it seems to me. Same time signatures, same drum set configuration, same tone & pitches, same tom fills, same snare back beats. Thomas is the only "drummer" I've heard that can literally play anything, like a drummer playing & a percussionist playing at the same time, syncing 2 different time signatures, but it's just him playing live.
Do Jojo Mayer next!
Mmmm, I agree with he's passion thing but talent= i think being coordinating too
schwarzenegger of the drum
Richard Hochrainers Übungen für kleine Trommel, Toni Breitner, kenn ich alles .. lang ists her!!
Why no one ever speaks of Rick Latham?
I'm wondering how many time Thomas spent in gym every day so that he could be in a good shape?
Most drummers, are simply being aroused by the (their own) production of endorphins; as the drummer contributes & reacts to a wide range of human and music stimulus, over a number of years in a life, wherein ‘communal associations’ are built, and in Lang’s case here - shared to a ravenous yet vacuous audience.
I like him because he has a bit of personality. He's not a total geek!
He says "My hometown in Austria !"
Slightly bette accent than Arnold👍
I do not agree .... you dont have to play hard .....
Thomas Lang smokes ALL the, "So called" drummers on UA-cam, trying to make money on their, "Sub par" drumming videos. Don't waste your time, when you come across the TRUE GOATS like Thomas Lang..... those are the only ones you should watch and subscribe to...... the others are just a waste of time.
I disagree with him about talent. That sounds good - however, I've seen the realities of what talent can do and how the lack of it can limit you. I've seen some of the laziest, uncommitted people do some of the most amazing things, and people who spent waaaaaay more time trying to master their craft just fall short.
This is a must to see! Two masters of the art of drumming who have been very supportive of the multi-award winning ToneAlly. Inspirational!
He’s like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of drumming lol
And you wouldn't know his nickname!!! You discovered warm water...and yes, they're from the same country.
''The Druminator''
And Virgil Donati the Drum Hulk

Would be a cool dad
Great interview!
And yet, another GREAT "Sessions Panel" segment/interview Dom and Thomas!.........Thanks always Dom!
toddwalkerdrumstudio Thanks so much!!!
This is a great interview with Thomas packed full of so much great information and advise!
Love this interview format!! Thanks Sessions Panel, Tom and Dom :-)
Thank you for subscribing & sharing to bring more great Artists!!
As a guitarist/songwriter I wish 99% of drummers were like this guy, he rightly talks about nurture, support and environment and I feel sorry for the millions of kids who cannot afford lessons or music school. The reality is that privileged kids have a far better chance of success. Much respect 🙏 x
Yup.
The sad but true
That's called capitalism. Fair but not fair.
Amazing interview! Thank You Dom and Thomas!
CzarolDrumChannel Thanks so much!!!
You gotta wear mini-hats? Lovely advice right away
AAaaahhh Falco :-* . Out of the Dark is the one ! !
got to see Mr. Lang live at the rhythm summit where this was filmed, such an amazing experience, getting to be able to meet all of those amazing artists. really gave me some perspective.
The Sessions was glad to be a part of the Rhythm Summit! Thanks for subscribing & sharing our channel!
Wir hatten ja nix - naja zumindest Zeit genug zu üben...
"They showed up at my door."
- Thomas Lang
Fantastic!
Is that actor from Django and Bastards called Cristopher Waltz? He is so similar to him, especially when both shaved, their smile, their irony. Pretty sick!
Um dos melhores na arte de tocar bateria... 🇧🇷
Matth Seraph English please. Thanks
@@GlobalDrumming One of the best in the art of playing drums ... (you two!)
@@MatheusAzevedoDrums Fantastic! Thanks!
