I could not agree more. Lang!!!!!!!!!!! Mike M. !!!!
I think Thomas Lang is perfect for the band silverchair.🤘🥁🤘😁
We have all done it .. but at 4:54 .. you was going into a new land .... but you reverted back to an old standard
For being his first time behind the kit, this wasn't too bad. Keep up the practice Thomas!
I can see why you’re a comedian
@@waitin4winterhahahahahahahaha
You can totally tell that he still needs to practice and work on his feet/hands independence. He only has 6 pedals!
This isn't drumming. This is another form of life from another galaxy. This absolutely beyond fantastic
Dude is insane. Some of those poly rythms sounded like a drum machine. If I didn't see him play it, I would have thought it WAS a drum machine.
He is a drum machine
Have watched Thomas for many years and his ability is astonishing.
He even dropped a stick mid way through this solo and it was barely noticeable.
Some drummers make you want to practice. Thomas Lang makes me want to throw my sticks away 😂
You should get out more often. Look to Florida this year...
I love when people comment about how TL truly is and there is always one guy, probably a drum teacher in his parent's basement somewhere, that always says that although TL is good, he or she can do it. Hilarious. You may be able to copy his licks, but very very few if anyone else can play them as clean with a real voice. That being said, don't throw your sticks away. Play as long as you enjoy it. There is always someone better. Right now there is a kid phenom getting ready to take TLs playing to the next level.
No $hi+!!!! That dude is super human!
Oh jes. That's true.
I always hesitate to say a musician in any discipline is "the best" because it's so subjective, and it's not really a contest. That said, I cannot think of another drummer who approaches the technical proficiency (monumental understatement) and creativity in sonic choices and polyrhythms. Not only that, the conditioning and stamina required to do that for 30 minutes?! We're talking elite athlete level. I personally find watching this inspiring, even if it is unattainable for me personally. Forget my first sentence, Thomas Lang is the best drummer I've ever seen/heard.
I agree, Vinnie is great. Buddy Rich.
13:42. Sick. If he ever concentrated on odd meters, well.
Individual artists can absolutely be ranked. He is the best. Please name a drummer that is even close to him. It’s the same with Tory Slusher on guitar. She is the best living guitarist in the world. Hendrix is still the best if you count living, or non living.
The work and discipline that Thomas put in to get to this level is truly amazing. Can a human get any more technically proficient?
It is a true testament to his attitude as a musician and human! His level of dedication and professionalism is remarkable!
That's the bittersweet truth. I don't see how a human can achieve greater.
Thomas Lang is a goddamn inspiration. Everything originates inside your mind first, nothing is faster than the mind.
I can sometimes eat for 30 minutes without spilling anything
Check out virgil donati. Dude is absolutely unreal, and is by far, the most technically advance drummer at once.
The stuff he plays is nearly impossible to duplicate.
His coordination is on another level, mindblowing, mindboggling, master at work!
Dream Theater missed out on an incredible drummer! No disrespect to Mike Mangini cus he’s a beast in his own right, but Thomas is the man!
I think exactly the same
i think so but Mike nailed the audition and Thomas kinda messed up a little bit. nevertheless I prefer Thomas. nothing against Mike, he is an incredible drummer but for my taste, i like Thomas.
Mike. Mangini should say hello to the southern SWAMP. Basher...
Thomas is a machine, no doubt. Is he more technical than Mike? Absolutely! But Mike was just a better fit for the band. Compatibility within a band is absolutely paramount!!
Or Marco Minemann.
I have done a few drum camps with Thomas. He is a brilliant drummer. Something you really can't see in the video is his power. When you stand next to him while he plays, you can see just how powerful and in control he is with all four limbs. It's impressive.
How much $$$$are the camps please
He really is incredible. As other people have said, the amount of work which must have gone in to getting to this level of technical proficiency and physical fitness is mind blowing.
And yet people will still call sodding Buddy Rich the greatest drummer who ever lived....... 🤣
@@DavidOakesMusic Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. He was phenomenal.
@@andygolborne5747 But Lang is still better.
@@hugolafhugolaf Lang is from a totally different era. He stands on the shoulders of giants.
Craaaaazzzy!!!! Just mind blowing!!! The patterns, the shifts, the ostinatos, the speed and energy...the list goes on and on......,.Another level..... Maybe another planet
Planet Lang!
@@richardgroce7839 😅😅😅🎬🥁🥁🥁
He's just three levels above everyone else. No one even comes close.
relentless yet tasteful and never boring ... what a monster
There is such melody and development of themes in this. One of those rare drum solos that is actually music.
his endurance is absolutely amazing
This is the result of lots and lots of practice, and a love for what you do.
i could just get the m &m 's out , and watch and listen to this guy for hours !!!!...i think he is the best drummer out there now !
He's pretty much as well rounded a drummer as it gets! Limb independence is probably the best in the game.
Tomas Haake and Danny Carey have entered the chat.
@@hugolafhugolaf Danny's the man when it comes to unique polyrhythms💯
Lol "probably". Name a drummer with better independence?
There are none.
@@hugolafhugolafThomas lang is way better than those guys
@@normanwilmoth7404No.
Thomas lang would beat Carey just with his feet
I feel like every time Thomas sits down and starts playing drums, even when he's just demoing a _cymbal,_ it turns into a 30 minute solo, but it just gets edited down to 30 seconds on youtube 😂 You can tell he loves playing.
His finesse and feel is underrated. Great player.
Underrated? Lol…..those who know, just know.
I mean that people tend to think Lang is all power and technicality. He's more than that. @@mattdelany6799
Ten thumbs up. Solid ten thumbs up. Lang and Marco should have a "face to face" showdown.
I never thought that he would top that Vic Firth Artist Spotlight solo. I was, very wrong. Excuse me, I need to practice. Keep swinging those trees Mr. Lang. You are an absolute genius and marvel.
The way he incorporates his feet is amazingly coordinated
Truly impressive. Control, precision, co-ordination, creativity, originality.
he is so smooth yet agressive at the same time
I was just excited to see him actually drop at stick. Just to prove that he’s actually human. Granted he still didn’t miss a stroke or mess up, but it’s nice to see he has the same problems the rest of us do. I agree with whoever said that I can just watch him play for hours. You always learn something when you watch him play. Phenomenal Drummer. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
One thing that both Thomas and Virgil have in common is excellent limb independence and stellar physical condition because of it.
Lol. Lang would annihilate Donati in limb independence
Freaking sick, Thomas! Truly a master of your kit.
genius - monster - god - beyond imagination
the tuning is amazing ... the snare and kit have crazy over tone together with the
rim shots
WOW! Thomas is still one of my favorite of all time drummers! His coordination is beyond this planet, and musicality is awesome! All around just GOOD!
Never really listened to Thomas play OMG this guy is Amazing
I really loved the beginning and end of this solo with all those stacks and splashes.
The transitions are absolute madness. What a time to be alive.
He has the coolest bass drum fills ever.
Ive been drumming for 17 years religiously and this even blows my mind 😮
Aside from the obvious masterful skill,the drums sound beautiful...Such a deep,tight tone and such tireless,raw energy and talent..
absolut bewundernswert. Meinen tiefen Respekt
Thank you so much Thomas you are a great sacred master of the drums 🤘🤘
So jetzt haben alle einen offenen Mund. Also alle wieder weiter üben :-) Was für ein Solo!!
Ja man, schöner Scheiß... jetzt haben wir alle gedacht, wir habens geschafft und dann kommt wieder mal Thommes um die Ecke und zeigts uns, wo de Bardel den Moscht holt... lach :-)
Thomas Lang has some crazy independence. I mean next level. My brain can’t even follow it. I just personally don’t care for the sound of DW drums. I did like Peart’s Snake & Arrows kit sound but that’s it. Their snares sound good though.
truly one of if not the very best drummer period!!!!!!
He's getting better n better, scary the improvement in musicality bc he always had chops, at a rate like this breaking new frontiers
I've been watching Thomas Lang for a while now, and I can honestly say... he has completely outdone himself here. He's taken his style and ability to a whole 'nuther level. This is just unbelievable. I didn't know drumming like this could be possible. And for 30 minutes! 0_0
Thomas and his limb independence ability is such a treat to watch. Cheers.
Thank you for posting this.
my heart sank into my heels, I'm just shocked by the performance 😢😢❤❤❤
Every time I hear him I realize how much I don't know about drums!!!!
One of the best drummers at this moment 👌 Real powerhouse 💪
Most amazing drummer out there
Epic bro genius at work absolutely amazing had me from start to finish big thumbs up👍
Thomas just ran a marathon in 30 minutes. He is amazing!
Thomas Lang is a genuis of drums; i'm very pround see Thomas Lang playing drums.
New dimension of drumming..👍
He is,simply said,one of the best.
Fierce mastery. Well done brother!
That's an exceptional piece.
Killer snare sound!! And of course nice performance, as always
This bass drum sound 😍😍😍 it’s wonderful
In love with your drumming🥰
This guy is incredible!! Impressive!
o cara que mais soou fã atualmente!!!!! o que ele consegue produzir em cada mão e em cada pé não é desse planeta!!!!!!!!!
minha inspiração na música
I love the smile from that kick ass snare swap!!
WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!! That was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
I just HAD to watch it all 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply wonderful
So clean on the hi hat it almost sounds like a machine. Next level talent
So many favorite moments impossible to list. My God!
such a clean linear drummer..ludicrous independence... kit sounds fucking great too. legend
Only one word....geil !!
Foot work I havent seen since Rick Allens accident. Very unique and interesting ensemble of gear. Absolutely entertained!!! Taught me how percussionist play through dropping a stick.
Thankyou kind Mister for the best performance ever displayed. I finally figured out who's the best Drummer in the world.
The way he's disciplined his many different ways to play the instrument is what we need to do in order to mastercraft the drumming world.
Marco Minnemann and Thomas are those type of guys of this generation. Pops to them!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎
They are both pioneers!
I'd put Mangini in there too.
OMFG, Thomas Lang deserves a Guiness World Record for this mind boggling performance for sheer Ambidextrous Marathon Tenacity!!!
In my prime, I'd have suffered cardiac arrest just over half way through "attempting" that amazing solo!
Oooohhhh.. Thank You 👏
Sensational from beginning to end 👌
Can't get much better than super master drummer.
Thank god i was alive to watch this !!!!!!!!!
Totally awesome drummer!
Major props TL !! Like a damn octopus! Thanks for sharing!! Rock on \m/ \m/
I replayed this video a couple of times and listened closely. Buddy, and Gene, and Burns, and Bonham, and Bozzio, and Appice, and Peart and
other drummers "Can't Touch This."
Con este solo magistral, exótico e innovador, Lang se ha coronado como el mejor baterista de todos los tiempos.
That's what I'm talking about! U u oooooza bad man . Nice set!!
He is not of this world! Awesome!
Incredible, fantastic
Grand merci,très professionnel très belle technique
Why is this so soothing ❤
Sheeeeesh!! God tier!!! 🏌🏻♂️🔥 the level of coordination. . .
MAGNIFICENT !
The amount that Lang has improved in the last few years-is *absolutely ASTOUNDING.*
Obviously, he’s always had incredible technique, and I’ve always appreciated that aspect of his playing; But I always wished we could’ve seen his drumming in a more “melodic/musical” sense, rather than solely for his technical abilities. Although tbf, I think he was kind of “forced” into having that kind of style because that’s what he was known for.
But, in the past few years, Thomas Lang has undergone a _complete transformation_ as a Drummer.
He’s no longer the drummer that you just like to _WATCH_ for his _technique._ He’s become one of the drummers that you love _HEARING,_ and one that you’re always interested to know what he’ll sound like the next time you hear him.
He’s developing a style that is so unique, and so fitting for him, where he looks for ways to use some of that “crazy/difficult/technical/fun” stuff from his earlier playing-But, he focuses on incorporating it into his newer, more melodic/groove oriented style.
Listen to the way he morphs 11:34 into 12:04 - until it ends 12:18 ...
Or the way he morphs:
12:30 - 13:29 - then transitions into 13:46 …
Those kind of parts are _infinitely_ more musical than they would’ve been-if he had used them in solos from earlier in his career; they’re much more rhythmic & melodic, _and_ each part builds and builds-before it transitions into the next part; That is a HUGE factor in terms of making a drum solo-“musical”.
If you just play a bunch of intricate drums parts that are not related…one after the other… It doesn’t matter how much talent it requires, or how impressive it is-from a technical perspective… If it doesn’t have melody, if it doesn’t have rhythm, and if it doesn’t have emotion…
Then, it not *_”Music”_* - It’s _”just noise”._
(Imho).
BUT, if you’re able to do things that are insanely difficult, while _also_ making them Muscial…
THAT is when you really have something special. And it sounds like Lang has been working his ass off, on doing just that.
He always seems like he truly just wants to be the best drummer he can possibly be. So, it’s great to see that his hard work and dedication is paying off.
On top of all that-He’s always just seemed like a great dude. I’ve actually heard stories from a few people that have met him, and they all said he was a _super_ nice, and _super_ humble guy. So, that just makes me even more excited to see what he does in the future.
_(Part of me wishes he would just start using a 4 piece kit, a single pedal, a pair of hats, a ride, and a couple crashes, because I I think that is the single best way to improve feel/groove/melody, etc… but that’s probably wishful thinking lol.)_
Either way, I have nothing but respect for this man-Both, as a Musician, and as a Person.
What is your opinion of a Dave Weckl open solo? Or Vinnie, JoJo, Donati? I will say Dave and Vinnie have far more sideman "musical" experience than the others.
What? He has killing it since the 80’s.
That's pure art!
Lang is one of the best in the world… top 5 in my drummer mind
Lol Lang is easily the best and most technical drummer who has ever lived.
Find me one who is more skilled.
You won't.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 I know man…. Daney Carey from tool is my tie.
T.Lang, B.Greb....Who else?
@@blacksuitedaces daney Carey from tool top 1 w lang in my opinion
He and Mangini for me.
Well time to light the kit on 🔥 again
bravo to the end Thomas!!!!!!!!! so love your talent , did. not know that the human body can do what you do sir !!!!!!!! marvelous !!!!!!
Uno de los mejores bateristas del mundo. Muchas gracias por tocar así Thomas Lang. Saludos combativos desde el norte de Morelos México.
Just got my Lang tang,for the day,now I can practice!!!

My room was shaken by the sound of Thomas' drums and my mother came in to check and asked me why I was on my knees
Pure art.
