FLAM LESSON from Live Stream May 21st 2022

Flams aren't just snare-exercises! Get creative with orchestration of flams and experiment with interesting sound combinations! Have fun with flams!

[@imral3]

@Thomas Lang, despite me being a late bloomer who just started drumming at age 55, and with some physical limitations, I always find something in your videos to help me out. For this I thank you!

6 hours later ..." or you could....."

[@a_d_s5361]

…you can also…

[@busdrummer]

😆💯

[@YodaOI]

Let's not forget " same thing with the feet" of course 😉

[@busdrummer]

Should make a coffee table book that only consists of the comment section of Thomas lang videos on KZbin🤙 I'd fuckin buy it. Cream of the crop guys- these threads are EPIC 🥁

[@warrenbuffett9435]

My absolute favorite drummer ! Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@kyleriddle8734]

Dude I've been playing drums for 20+ years and still learn something every time I watch one of these videos. You have infinite drum knowledge. It can't be taught. It comes from experience.

[@coachcrane6636]

He's not a human! Always amazed, inspired, and frustrated all at the same time. Love the lesson!

[@paultowns]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard roto toms sound that good. Only Lang man. Keep it up you are always an inspiration!!

[@drummerw17]

Excellent amazing Clinics Thomas Lang👍🥁👍🎼👍. My respects always!!!

[@subvertedworld]

Those rototoms sound absolutely MASSIVE!!! Wow.

[@mrbouncelol]

I'm so glad we live in a world where a drummer of the calibre as Thomas Lang can make a living by teaching

[@drummerw17]

Our great Thomas Lang. Presenting excellent ideas in rudiments. My respects Thomas Lang always 👍🥁🎼🥁👍

[@Drumming-Life]

Love all your kits man. My fave still has to be between your old clear Sonor kit and the DW concert tom kit. Both were unique and sounded fantastic.

[@walkerb1734]

Sooooo effortless. I’m convinced that if I practiced 8 hours a day for the rest of my life I’d never be 1/2 as good. He just has a God given talent

[@yorulmustoz8574]

You are not normal mr lang. Melody, dynamic, powerful, fun, flowy. Bravo. Speechless🙏🏻🤌🏼

[@MrYuvrajssingh]

Thank you Mr Lang for making drums look easy. You are great teacher

[@KONAMAN100]

Absolutely flamtastic Thomas Lang.

[@FusionHowie]

Great teacher! I wish I gave more attention to Mr. Lang many years ago, I would be a much better player. Peace from Detroit MI.

[@wildmike951]

Thomas is is insanely awesome on the drums. He can play anything.

[@SimonKranzDrums]

Your creativity on the drumkit is simply refreshing! I use those flat flams for bomb blasts mostly, but I need to add some of your ideas to my repertoire...

[@sgk993]

Excellent. Love the rotos

[@dirtlakedrummer]

Thank so much for sharing sir 🙏. Totally agree, rudiments are key for musical liberty and expression 🎶👍

[@ModernLove100]

Those flams and that roto tom kit with the stacked cymbals, it's all so very much inspired by Terry Bozzio 79-86 era.

[@KONAMAN100]

Such an awful sound

[@jumpinjojo]

Yes indeed!!

[@ModernLove100]

@@KONAMAN100 That *Danger Money* album by *UK* sounded really good though as did that track *U.S. Drag* by the group *Missing Persons* On both Bozzio already played that roto tom kit. *Heavy Metal Be-Bop* by the *Brecker Brothers* sounds even better, but that was probably still his normal double bassdrum kit like the one he had when he still played with *Frank Zappa* I feel he sounded better during that era than he sounds now in the post millennium era. It's like he got more extreme. If you ever played his kit you'll notice that it really only works if you're technique is precise, otherwise it just sounds horrible. Maybe he's challenging himself and went extreme with it.

[@MegaLJ3]

Always learning something new ever time for I watch your videos.

[@albertoteran]

You rock dude, cheers from Costa Rica !

[@christophmeirich5928]

[@sclavojar70s80]

Thank you one more time from New Orleans AEJ 🙌

[@Quiese22.]

Great teacher 😊👍

[@tirewarrior]

The pattern @ 3:30 reminds me of the first drum book I learned from, "Charles Dowd - A Funky Primer". Highly recommended. My drum teacher drilled this exact pattern from the book. Thanks for sharing Thomas!

[@MrBostonrobb]

Roto-Kit. Totally dig it.

[@PaulMarangoni]

I love roto toms!

[@SoyMolas]

I just noticed that I don't know anything about flams. Thank you for quitting me from my ignorance

[@albertofalzoi1541]

[@MNDrummer]

Thomas: Could you do a video on how you tune your toms and bass drum? Tips, tricks, and any differences between studio vs live. Thank you in advance.

[@MichaelWoljevach]

[@hamadbernes1980]

[@Tossarichard]

[@Yakuo]

[@Visuvh]

One of the more underused rudiments definitely.

[@paks27]

Thanks Thomas

[@kishorganpatiartdelhi]

awesome 👍

[@martyoli1946]

Super Master

[@danhtien168]

Very nice, your video is so wonderful. Hope your always lucky and happy in your live, like and support your channel. Have a nice weekend.🥰

[@joevialpando9296]

Awesome I will definitely implement this into my drumming

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Where can I watch the full stream? I want to see more of this rototom kit.

[@jc3drums916]

Great lesson! The overhead camera, though...I don't know if the camera stand is on the drum riser, or if it's just vibrations travelling through the floor, but that bobbing is almost nausea-inducing.

[@rolandedrummer9723]

I need to find an 18" to complete my set.

[@glavotsky23]

Flamboyant

[@dr.w1636]

😁

[@aaronramireztenorio8751]

Have you ever listen roto toms more melodic than those?

[@weicco]

Where's ratatoms? I want ratatoms! 😊 Btw. Sepultura Arise has really cool and fast flam tapping in the intro. At least in old live videos Cavalera days.

[@Ucannod]

Unison strokes as in double stops? Not flams

[@Flobergo]

Servus Thomas kannst du Mal ein Video machen wie man am besten tripplets und Quads am besten mit einem singlepaddle spielt, bzw auch nen shuffle mit den Füßen und welche Technik man da am besten anwendet? 🤘🥁

[@ricoandkona794]

All of your toms are RotoToms!!! where did you find those?

[@billmint8122]

"Find" lol He probably had custom made by DW

[@jumpinjojo]

I have a set. You can still buy them. Terry Bozzio used them exclusively when he was with Missing Persons.

[@zhukovdrums]

Never liked flams before that video

[@Leddrums]

Who is the best drummer? 😁 Mr. Lang of course

[@francescotoni26]

No, he isn't.

[@davidhoffmann345]

One of the best for sure!

[@Idolikethis]

my whole life ive wondered. What is a flam?

[@hasan_bahramian]

🌹 💞 🤘🤘🙌👏

[@derweisehai658]

well..

[@johnstahrstartcleanfitwell1051]

Hey Thomas just was wondering what you like about the Meinl cymbals say Vs. Zildjians??

[@bishopoftroy]

Money lol

[@BelvedereX2]

You looks like James Hetfield of drummer
