Thomas Lang gives you a tour of his DW Stainless Steel Kit

Drumgeeks unite! Another drum-gear nerd-out video! This time Thomas shows us his Drum Workshop stainless steel drum set. It's shiny. It's heavy. It's big. It's loud.

[@JimmyGunXD556]

Thomas's accent, muscles and stainless. We should nick name the kit "TERMINATOR" !!! I'll be baack to play later!!

[@jmpsthrufyre]

JimmyGunXD556 but for right now guys I've got to get to The ChoppaAAAARRReeNNNNgarllnnnn

[@Michaelbrian777]

Van Damme

[@christianwagenseil9621]

😂😂😂 How about the DRUMINATOR

[@maxotsky]

That's huge kit! So much inspiration 🥁🤙

[@mattdelany6799]

Some guy commented that Thomas scrapes by. He got out of a 200,00 dollar Porsche. Thomas can play with anyone in the world.

[@davidm8096]

Love your drumming Thomas! Slow to the show but I don't know if this will be answered but the Rata toms what are the depths of the 2 that are used? thanks!!

[@gardenstate78]

Another piece of fried gold from Thomas 😄👍👍👍

[@jaimesorli2436]

is a carl palmer thing...., sounds amazing, what kind of shells, like an snare or like a dunnet.....

[@singningwongho]

You come to NZ, You'll see me there. :)

[@backbeat3451]

What does the hairbrush on the gong drum sound like? Looks like a classic plastic on plastic in Matt black,but not sure.........🤔

[@Kakaobutter]

6:00 Tom-toms! I got three of 'em!

[@MrDrummertheo]

Wow, das Teil klingt hammergeil 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Djentstructer]

This dude is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of drums.

[@markuschelios6891]

Arnold is the Thomas Lang of bodybuilding.

[@dancino5601]

Thomas: This is my splash cymbal *sheds entire kit for 5 minutes* This is my ride cymbal *sheds entire kit again for 10 minutes*

[@TheInnerParty]

LMAO

[@0dinsson]

Well, you have to listen to it in context ...

[@Edelweiss1102]

Chris: Hey Thomas, how many Hi Hats do you want? Thomas: Yes.

[@FortyDeuce]

I stopped watching this video 20 minutes ago, but somehow those floor toms are still sustaining through my speakers.

[@alhudson]

:)

[@markdemell3717]

Hahahahaha.

[@markdemell3717]

I remember Eric Carr had those long bass drums ,thunder.

[@drummerrogue]

lol man

[@DrDr-pg5br]

Who else wanted him to play Bozzio's kit?

[@rickrick9510]

Me :)

[@jamesoconnor2226]

Dr Dr me

[@markdemell3717]

I would actually like to see Thomas play a simple straight ahead rock song like ,Shoot to Thrill from Ac/Dc.

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

You could tell he is was itching to jump on it. Golden rule as drummer. Never touch another guys kit without permission

[@tuomollo]

'this is the jazz kit' lol

[@thekillingspeed]

"It's a bassdrum it's a gongdrum."... A bong drum!

[@bamahi7142]

Life is good when you're Thomas Lang.

[@dzarren]

Who else would love to see Thomas Lang on Bozzio's kit, that would be mind numbing.

[@lairhab]

Wow Van Damme is a really good drummer

[@rigorhead01]

It's so cool how companies like DW provide thier artists the tools required for thier artistic expression.

[@artistryartistry7239]

I hear that's good for business.

[@scotty3034]

The Alex Van Halen look never goes out of style I guess.

[@phillipdoucet7171]

Lol what if he always refers to everything that he owns as “The Thomas Lang .......” but all jokes aside those toms sound pretty cool.

[@Steffentrommelt]

Learning point: a mixed set is a "Frankenstein Kit". Haha

[@normanwilmoth7404]

The most technical, independence out the frame, speed, powerful and most knowledgeable drummer of his craft of our generation period! It's just my opinion guys but I think he's the best of the best period. I doubt there's anyone alive that can solo like him for as long as he does and with all the flash too could ever want or even dream of doing. There's know one like him on drums, he's that good😎✌

[@marcdedouvan]

So basically it is a metal drumset? (^_-)

[@GabrielKerr]

no inner ear protection? Yikes.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

2:05 I love Tom's English accent.

[@maddog0342]

Your so fun to watch! A fantastic drummer with a great personality. (You need your own TV show!) Thanks TL again for the inspiration! 🥁🥁🥁

[@ericcraig6602]

You Gotta Be Very Very Good With Your Feet To Do "DiDDLES" Like That WithOut Catching Arthritis & Stiffing Up 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@martinhrusovsky1733]

You deserve to live your dream Thomas and I'm happy for what you give to this world and to all next generations. Thank you bro 🖤🤟

[@tims.4204]

That’s the funniest video you’ve ever posted. 😂

[@TrungDrum]

Phòng quay phim của Thomas đẹp quá.

[@u2552]

World class drummer like Thomas Lang showing how much he loves his drum kit like a kid makes me feel happy!

[@wcpdcop314]

Looking like AVH but with a German accent

[@josephhavalotti997]

Awesome new video’s you been doin, please keep them coming, could watch them all day, thanks Thomas 😎😎

[@smilingdrum]

Thanks for always entertaining all of us Drumgeeks!!!! You're the best, Bless you Thomas!!!!

[@cowboyupdrummer]

Funny...I always thought you were saying "ROTO TOMS" lol I was saying, those aren't roto toms. 😆 Love your drumming you're a beast 💪🥁 ❤️

[@bigjdubbbb]

4:17 Asian guy: "This is rock and roll"

[@faaizali1]

James Washington thank you for reminding me about that epic video lol

[@rhythmista7707]

Cause the sun is so incredibly bright that he had to wear his sunglasses indoors...😂😁

[@micomars]

You wanna know what happened to the T-1000? Here you go. Damn awesome drums. 🤘

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

I didn't know you played piano as well!

[@karlsloman5320]

Sounds like Thomas is playing Grebfruit at 6:19. Love Grebfruit!!! And Thomas, as usual is remarkable, one of the best drummers (in my opinion the best) ever.

[@ArchieBC]

I wish he would have played the “gong” drum in context of the entire kit. Otherwise, that’s about as badass as it gets until someone goes all carbon fiber or all titanium.

[@veraksha08]

\m/ Extreeemely cool sound!!

[@andydrums4333]

Thomas Lang knows how to play the piano. That's it. That does it. This guy is a God, confirmed

[@InfinitePracticeTV]

omg~~~~ nice sound! i have DW Stainless Snare 14x6.5!! sound very very cool~~ i'm korea drummer :)

[@RoeShamBoe]

10:35 i know exactly where the simon phillips towel quote comes from. i wore those vhs tapes (yes, vhs tapes) out!!

[@pepitoperez2128]

Yeah! Me too! Love it!

[@JK-zo4px]

Thomas , wo ist der DeWalt Akkuschrauber? 🤣🤣🤣

[@philanaemic]

I get the feeling Lang could play the snare with his pedals and the bass drum with his hands and you'd never notice the difference.

[@bill1260]

would be great to hear you with guitarist john McLaughlin,he always had a great power drummer !

[@kyleolin3566]

I like watching Thomas Lang drum tour videos. Interesting drumsets, killer playing, and funny to boot.

[@paulbentley2709]

How much does it weigh

[@seppoinnanen5577]

Great guy and incredible drummer... and the drums are crazy good. Still, I secretly wished that he would be back to Sonor

[@garyconner6151]

Love this guy.awesome drummer and funny as hell.thomas your the man.gonna buy all your material.

[@bobpaterson5845]

would to hear the drum solo from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the kit

[@Sugarsail1]

I've never heard this guy play anything musical.....just fast and technical.

[@sanchezzz1]

Terry Bozzio's jazz kit lol too

[@mattdelany6799]

Incredible

[@cwdrummeruk]

Chris kind sounds like me, and I'm also currently seeing a Chiropractor - weird! haha! GORGEOUS kit!! #Druminator

[@TheGrowFromYourHeartPodcast]

Can I come play your drums?

[@williamweiss6128]

Yea, my Ludwig kit. It's intervals, sympathetic vibrations between all the drums. So fun to play. It's alive.

[@kellyrogers7066]

Always Love Your Playing Sir!!! You are a HUGE Inspiration!! You make it soooo easy!!

[@giuliano8031]

With earthowrks Mics this would be basically the perfect drum Kit. Espacially for Metal.

[@dwightgaston6079]

Damn that beast must cost more than my car. Beautiful!

[@lukebrown6737]

Your drumkit should always cost more than your car...

[@kingscotimus]

Why isn't he in a metal band?

[@jubankta1627]

Thomas is funny af seems to have a great personality,I wanna be Chris when I grow up!!!

[@FanaticDrummer]

*This is the Jazz kit* ☠️

[@ackokk81]

You look like Michael Myers :/

[@frenziedfortressdrums]

Thanks for doing these for us drum gear geeks and also thanks for the pedal view, that was awesome!

[@dumpygoodness4086]

THOMAS!! You're a funny monster of a drummer........but almost no one have heard you yet.... so GET YOURSELF TWO (or one) OF THE MOST-INNOVATIVE-AND-KILLER musicians, and create a SUPER-GROUP of pure firepower (think early mahavishnu).....and BLOW MINDS...and just shoot a few EASY music videos anywhere! (Just in a rehearsal space is fine.) ANIMALS AS LEADERS and Tobin Abasi have gotten massive attention... yet they can't write a tune or melody to save their lives. We're STARVING for some FIREPOWER that is DELICIOUS.

[@tomfear6062]

I’ve never been impressed with DW drums....Overrated and over priced. I’d like to see Lang endorse Ludwig..

[@giuliano8031]

„Let me show you how the Gongdrum Sounds“ *Hits Gongdrum* Me:😱 „Sound Beautiful right.“ Me:“YES“

[@leheme]

The best part is when you play piano. Thanks for the tour Thomas. Incredible the facilities of Drum Channel.

[@trevorbohn8020]

But speaking of roto toms, he should put a few of those on this kit, I think they would fit it well aesthetically both visually and sound-wise.

[@ryantheiron4191]

Thomas 'I'm fucked without double kick pedals' Lang.

[@ultradrums]

😎Beautiful Drums and Cool Beats🥁🥁🥁

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

Thomas can you build a double bass drum set covered in sheet copper? I used to have a special order Slingerland Concorde 26" bass drums double bass set that I sold to friend for $500. ? Anywho would love to see some copper again! I had copper solor x film on the bass drum heads it was perfect! Thanks!

[@1979GenXdude]

The real Thomas Lang is a future resistance fighter KIA. This is a T-800 who stole his identity messing around on a T-1000 disguised as a drumkit. You always thought that his playing was digitally precise? Well, you were right.

[@joelmaharry3697]

I guess making unlistenable records requires massive numbers of drums and lots of paraphernalia.

[@hawklee9702]

Stainless steel kit? As a drummer and a steel fabricator, watching mr lang just goofing around, "this is my Thomas Lang Thomas Lang..." now I see after 40 years of drumming, I should have wore the aviator shades. I've been breathing Thomas Lang air. And he plays the piano. Can't sing though, ha ha

[@RustyKnorr]

So great to hear this acoustically and not through all the processing. I wish more drummers did this.

[@pietrojun1604]

"He used to love the Sheraton towels" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thomas, we'll see you in The Expendables 3

[@freebird3190]

Yo Thomas, that works only if you have a Drum tech to move all that heavy Stuff ... oh Man

[@wlhahn]

You gotta love Thomas Lang. In this video he reminds me of the "Bruno" of the drumming world...

[@kingdomculture7065]

You mentioned the AudixD6 for the gong drum but what mics are you using to record the rest of your kit? I recognized the one down-low in front by the wall was an AKG either a c414 or 214 but not sure what the rest are.

[@cvblaylock]

Would’ve loved to see Thomas join Dream Theatre to see how he’d write with them. Easy and cheap bass drum muffling is a mop head!

[@Wespups]

I want to see the Terminator play a DW hyperalloy kit....I hear Sonor are working on a secret project....;)

[@NIKKO500]

YOU ARE THE Arnold Schwarzenegger of drum.

[@Hubatroupa]

Mir wurde grad schwindelig, als ich gelesen habe wer da alles bei Bonanza 2019 als Lehrer dabei gewesen ist. Ich hätte warscheinlich nicht mal meine Sticks ruhig in der Hand halten können vor lauter Aufregung. Du liebes bisschen...

[@BrianGivensYtube]

The Arnold Schwarzenegger of drums.

[@charlesfranklin3533]

One Of The Baddest Drummer's on The Planet. Go Thomas Lang.

[@aryasomu7165]

0:50 he had the biggest kit possible but the cheapest chair?!

[@earlbrackett6508]

Carl Palmer, John Bonham, Danny Carey, Thomas Lang...Stainless Steel/(Paiste cymbal alloy for Carey), I'm detecting a pattern with these accomplished drummers. I think they're some of the finest sounding kits created.

[@billorchard3263]

The Ludwig * Bonham Anniversary Kit * has only 1 thing that is actually Ludwig, the * Name on the Badge *, every single drum on the 50 Stainless Steel kit's made were all handmade by * Ronn Dunnett *,........ Ludwig realized that one person in the Drum Craftsmanship world stuck out and stood above all other Drum Smith's and could build these incredible sounding drums better than even Ludwig themselves and that is * Ronn Dunnett * So to all of the lucky 50 people who own one of these kit's, thank Ronn when you sit behind that kit and say * Holy Shit * these drums sound * Incredible *.

[@karolwojtya2369]

I'd love to see (and hear) Thomas playing that Terry Bozzio's kit

[@handidrummed]

He looks like Alex Van Halen and the Terminator had a baby.

[@12marcusboy]

I remember meeting you at Brentwood in the UK yearssss ago you came across quite arrogant but you do play well I must say... lol

[@tomeverson5782]

We all as drummers receive calls from Scam Likely...either him/her or the Sweetwater salesperson.

[@KorraTheFrenchie]

His foot speed is amazing!!! LOL at “20 minutes later”

[@new2dc2883]

Those damned double stroke kicks @ 9. Smooth beyond belief
