Meinl Cymbals - Lang Zhao - "A Progression to Infinity" by The Resonance Project

[@BrainDamageBrian]

he's like.. a classically trained metal drummer. the precision is incredible

[@metalavenger23]

And quite possibly the jazziest metal I’ve ever heard.

[@parker_drummer8647]

I mean he was trained in classical score and piano at aa young age as well as study jazz drums

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

@@metalavenger23Noo, just check out Panzerballett! These guys are making death jazz.

[@tituspossenriede865]

​@@eDrumsInANutshell thats crazy seeing someone talking about panzerballett here. Im actually a friend and student of their first drummer 😅

[@columbiajones1534]

Oh my goodness. This dude is insane. Did anyone else noticed he also WROTE this song?

[@TimAndEricAreTheBest]

Jeez, he's just too talented. I just found out about him today, I'm in frickin love.

[@glacier_official]

Found out about this guy through Matt Garstka and honestly he is one of the best drummers I have ever seen. This guy has the potential to be one of the GOATs.

[@Bluesky35102]

It sounds like old school Animals As Leaders! Loved it

[@PatrikVrazba]

Exactly, my brain just exploded

[@jellyglonut744]

Definitely AaL and a mix of The Helix Nebula

[@coryd4160]

Also, sounds like another fantastic ensemble called Vitalism that I'll shamelessly plug here.

[@jellyglonut744]

@@coryd4160 Oh hell yes. I think Bipolarity was when I first discovered Vitalism

[@Memry-Man]

Reminds me more of a mix between Cynic and Dream Theater, but yeah it's a great track. I'm just not a fan of playing dry cymbals myself. But good stuff 👍

[@meshuggah434]

Meinl just has the industry in its hands. I love the sounds they create. I haven’t liked any other cymbal manufacturers since I started buying Meinl Cymbals. I absolutely love their dry line. Incredible. Just a fantastic product.

[@andyham6094]

Same here bro. I use the extra drys for practice and smaller gigs to keep volume down and use byzance traditional and brilliants for bigger shows and when I need volume to fill the music. So many awesome options with Meinl. Then their byzance duals and byzance sand vintage line are great in betweens between extra dry and brilliant/traditionals.

[@theheritic209]

Lang is not only a sick drummer, he’s a wonderful human.

[@kahok5ownage]

I don’t know anything about him! Would you mind elaborating?

[@theheritic209]

@@kahok5ownage besides being a buddy a unit on the skins, and well versed on drum knowledge. he’s gone out of his way to help me out during some hard times.

[@Clairsentien]

Guy is smooth as butter, excellent work.

[@patrickprotzman2407]

It's unbelievable how fast and technical he is - it looks like he's not even trying!

[@ethanbyrddrums]

This is amazing. A few minutes of watching him play and he's automatically one of my favorite drummers. Love this guy's playing

[@revelmediatt]

Damm you really see Matt’s style in his playing. I would swear it’s Matt if I had my eyes closed. This guy is excellent!

[@clemlvn9598]

@@saxon8981 why you hatin bro? Lang’s playing is very melodic, just listen to The Anthem and change your mind

[@aeco15]

Even his kit's set up pretty much looks like Matt's

[@revelmediatt]

@@saxon8981 Well I disagree with you there but he doesn't look as comfortable on the kit as Matt does. Comes with experience.

[@kayned47]

Ye he does sound like matt, he has a great feel too, I don't think he's as busy as matt but he does have his own chops and is very versatile

[@walterrserrano]

@@saxon8981 Nope. Just the unfair ones.

[@Imaddrums]

So freaking proud of you Lang! So blessed to call you my brother. Love you big time man you destroyed this!!!🔥🔥🔥🫡

[@tcavalo]

Never heard of this guy until this morning. He just popped up on my main page at opening. Glad I clicked and watched. He has a calculating, yet controlled feel to his playing. This guy is really tight. Five thumbs up!

[@Bary73]

I didn't knew this band... Amazing, Thks MEINL ;)

[@kumquatmagoo]

I just watched the drums-only mix, having never heard the song or your playing, and had to come here afterwards to listen to the full thing. It's brilliant.

[@asheshinfinite3766]

Thank you once again, Meinl, for introducing me to another awesome drummer! And as always, nothing comes close to the quality of your Cymbals and your videos! Keep up the amazing work! 👏👌👍

[@rityblackmore]

Matt Garstka would be proud... XD Awesome drumming!

[@lordamoghxd]

Matt garstka is literally friends with this dude, he did a podcast with him

So much groove just oozing from Lang. absolutely incredible

[@danielschroder6678]

Dude, you are incredible! I can only begin to grasp how much work goes into playing at this level, yet have the headroom to still make it look fluid and effortless! Be proud of where you got! :))

[@mrjehupitchfork]

Killer control and touch. Fantastic drummer.

[@neverifnotfornow]

Sounds like a dream from the future.

[@kierojin]

This is insane. It actually sounds programmed, even though its not. This guy is actually just THAT good

[@tfwnoyandere]

@@saxon8981 i mean 4:38 kinda does tho

[@wurdofwizdumb1928]

I know what you mean in the sense of quality of sound and tightness, However I would consider Lang way more of a feel drummer. He is just that good.

[@machinebeard1639]

Oh please, he only sounds good because he uses expensive sticks.

[@tfwnoyandere]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton programmed drums can be humanized, especially via velocities randomised within designated parameters

[@tfwnoyandere]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton your opinion is not a fact

[@nelsonortas818]

Insanely Awesome and Precise

[@hansolo8080]

It's cool to see that all the top level musicians make these insane grooves look super easy, by having this amazing flow in their playstyle. It's even fun to watch without sound.

[@jasonstockler]

This was a TOTAL jam! LOVE THIS! The Resonance Project is now on my youtube list! THANK YOU! Keeping jamming bro, your gift is HOT!

[@Ocidad]

the melodic sound of the fretless bass is always pleasant to my ears 😄

[@BoardGameDave]

This is absolutely, jaw-droppingly inspiring. I was totally mesmerized by the level of playing the entire time. Phenomenal playing and I'm really looking forward to hearing more from this drummer/artist/savant!

[@johnhancock9249]

Awesome. Just discovered this drummer. Amazed by his skill

[@adambradley2605]

I love how tuned-up the toms are! Fantastic playing!!!

[@quikxfl]

Such relaxed technique. Masterful.

[@martinblanchotdrums3194]

1:55 his crash stand gave me anxiety level 100. He's godly

[@sanchopanza9907]

I'd love to watch this live, I listened to this track countless times already.

[@GrooveJuggernaut]

That transition at 3:55 made me lose it!!! So proud of you Lang. Keep going!

[@magiscichoam]

Beautiful melodic drumming. I absolutely love the tone paintings and percussive soundscapes he creates. The music evokes the possibility of an evolved version of King Crimson. Bravo!

[@funshorestudios]

Your talent is exceptional and I'm proud to be of the same species.

[@BANTAMWEIGHT]

Lang is the future! This is some really next-level playing!

[@joedagostino7813]

The hi hats have such a unique quality to them. Love the experimentation with the different style of cymbals.

[@clemlvn9598]

I’ve been listening to the Resonance Project and following Lang on the socials for quite some time now, and as a guitarist I’ve never been so obsessed by the playing of a drummer. Lang’s style is very melodic and musical, it’s not just about odd time and crazy complex stuff. It fills the space.

[@oreothebest]

Have ye heard of Gavin Harrison?

OMG!!! Finally getting some deserved advice to him :D

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Wonderful composition, it rang a bunch of bells for me and it bothered me for a bit that I couldn't peg down what this reminded me of, then I remembered a Mahavishnu Orchestra concert I attended many moons ago when they were doing their Birds of Fire tour and it clicked. Don't ever stop man!
