[@jmpsthrufyre]

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

[@christianwagenseil9621]

😂😂😂 How about the DRUMINATOR

[@Edelweiss1102]

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

[@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 ...

[@bamahi7142]

Life is good when you're Thomas Lang.

[@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

[@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.

[@u2552]

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

[@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😎✌

[@dzarren]

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

[@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! 🥁🥁🥁

[@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 🖤🤟

[@smilingdrum]

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

[@kyleolin3566]

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

[@josephhavalotti997]

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

[@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

[@thekillingspeed]

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

[@johnhancock9249]

I can’t stop watching this video. You know I grew up a Neil Peart fan but I’m really getting a passion for watching Thomas Lang videos. I just discovered you last year. I’m definitely hooked on watching your videos Thomas. You are an amazing drummer. Stay healthy and keep making magic on those skins. Love ya man!! I can’t wait to play on my drums tomorrow. Would get on them now but my wife may get upset because it’s 2am now. Cheers!

[@frenziedfortressdrums]

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

[@brianphillips9152]

I could watch Lang all day. Dude is incredible!

[@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.

[@leheme]

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

[@lairhab]

Wow Van Damme is a really good drummer

[@RustyKnorr]

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

[@tuomollo]

'this is the jazz kit' lol

[@scotty3034]

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

[@kellyrogers7066]

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

[@vicesquadpunk]

Truly wonderful... a great player... as a guitarist I almost don't care how many drums one has, or what brand they and cymbals are... just finding a stable-minded, reliable guy who is a solid player, doesn't over-play is the MOST IMPORTANT thing any band could wish for... in the UK right now this requirement appears to be somewhat impossible to fulfil. Love and respect to those drummers that deliver the goods ✊️🙂 x

[@charlesfranklin3533]

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

[@DavidOakesMusic]

2:05 I love Tom's English accent.

[@phillipvernon9871]

Great sound and some brilliant grooves in there :)

[@wlhahn]

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

[@bill1260]

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

[@andydrums4333]

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

[@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.

[@maxotsky]

That's huge kit! So much inspiration 🥁🤙

[@fleppie75]

such a smooth drummer, no sweat was spilled.

[@ZzKoBzZ]

About the rata toms, they were actually brought by Roy Mayorga from Stone Sour and Previously Soulfly, who came from Tama and used octobans on his kit, so when he arrived at DW he asked them to make some for him and called them "Rata", which is Roy's nickname

[@karolwojtya2369]

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

[@Steffentrommelt]

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

[@giuliano8031]

I think this Kit sounds so beautiful and unique.

[@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 💪🥁 ❤️

[@ryanspeed4671]

Always enjoy your playing & the videos are cool..Thx for taking the time to share..

[@TheSPACEDIEVEST1]

Thank you Thomas for sharing your gear with all of us.

[@vandijkmark]

Keep this kind of content coming please, it's awesome.

[@williamweiss6128]

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

[@micomars]

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

[@ultradrums]

😎Beautiful Drums and Cool Beats🥁🥁🥁

[@garyconner6151]

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

[@venierclo]

Good evening Mr. Thomas, I want to congratulate you for being such a complete musician and ask if you plan to come to Buenos Aires to do a class for Argentine musicians. Thank you, Master.

[@yeet_za]

Met Thomas Lang many years ago at a Drum clinic he held in South Africa. Super enthusiastic, humble and funny dude. Do yourself a favour and go and check him out if you have the chance. His poly-rhythm and independence teachings are on another level (Also available on his DVD's, but to see it in person is an experience in itself). Oh and forget what anyone has ever told you about "loud drummers". Thomas is the loudest. I have not heard any other drummer play louder than this man...and I have been to many Drum Clinics (Including Derrek Roddy, a power house blast beat / extreme metal drummer). Hands down. 100% Power and Precision. Wear ear plugs when you go watch him.

[@PowrTeam316]

I never thought that you can also play the piano...you're such an awesome dude..Thomas 😉🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@otineb5]

Thomas Lang, one badass and talented drummer.

[@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 *.

[@seppoinnanen5577]

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

[@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.

[@rhythmista7707]

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

[@bobpaterson5845]

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

[@dandavidson1704]

Such a cool and unique setup

[@jmpsthrufyre]

have you ever tried any of the noble and Cooley snare drums the brass in particular? holy crap that thing is loud and soft and subtle it's amazing! also I love the drum playthrough videos. I'd love it even more if we had some videos on the creation process fine-tuning recording and rearranging etc, as well as playthroughs for Arch matheos's project.....or any project for that matter

[@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!!

[@jubankta1627]

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

[@proberaum7015]

Epic sound. The snare drum sounds killer, Grüße aus Berlin, lieber Thomas! ;-)

[@DiegaoAnsata]

OLA Thomas Lang thank you very much for the video recording with Thiago Siqueira ... Thank you very much what you have done, one day we will have the opportunity to get to know each other. I admire your work and you play a hug. Diego, Brazil / PIracicaba SP

[@tofuleg]

He's a machine. A magician! Seems like a nice dude too.

[@bolox3061]

I love his personality - GREAT!

[@BackyrdBully]

I have that 9000 rack.. would to love to see in depth your rack set up. I'm sure that would boost the 9000 rack series sales.

[@marcdedouvan]

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

[@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!

[@veraksha08]

\m/ Extreeemely cool sound!!

[@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.

[@pietrojun1604]

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

[@ifgwelf]

Yah Im sold on having a bass drum as a floor tom now.

[@frankblunt2482]

Truly beautiful piano. Deep.

[@jonhattanrai]

Hey Thomas, How do I get a snare sound like yours? it sounds awesome!

[@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.

[@new2dc2883]

Those damned double stroke kicks @ 9. Smooth beyond belief

[@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!

[@calmac9720]

Beautifully tuned!

[@McAdow]

Total Mr Rogers vibe at around 12:15. Love it!

[@jaimesorli2436]

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

[@zl2848]

Best drummer in the world !!!! No joke !!!

[@M_Joya]

that snare sounds amazing!

[@dandavidson1704]

This is my Thomas Lang hi hat, this is my Thomas Lang super stack, this is my small stack with a hit hay top and the Thomas Lang filter China bottem Love this guy

[@BeastMode-wb2dt]

Sick bro nice kit. Also I’m a drummer in the learning and I wish to learn more from you and other drummers :)

[@InfinitePracticeTV]

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

[@cwdrummeruk]

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

[@1991SCV]

I am usually an oil finish guy....but holy moly. That is beautiful.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

I'm assuming you're talking about the hair here?

[@dgroover5044]

Great video Thomas! I have an idea. Let’s do a video where you present me with one of your beautiful kits! 😆👍

[@backbeat3451]

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

[@schizoak_4720]

Thomas just slaughtering the 24-inch bass drum or any kick drum for that matter. LOVE IT!! "Including moving my shirt right now as I'm standing in front of it." The man is doing it so fast I can't even tell if he's doing the slide for double strokes. Thomas my question is probably redundant but out of curiosity I noticed your stainless kit doesn't have the Snom so different kit, set up, different characteristic? I'm just having fun watching you play because, well because .. Yea

[@tims.4204]

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

[@johnd.4536]

I think you need a couple wooden bass drum beaters for that 22.

[@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!

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

I didn't know you played piano as well!

[@RogersPhotographyOG]

Today it will be Gong Drum. Tomorrow it will be Godzilla Drum. Oh by the way, Dennis Cleveland Stewart called (from the great beyond) and he want's his sunglasses, jacket and entire look back from the 1978 movie Grease. Great kit!

[@Ferklaus]

Amazing drumkit !!! i need a snare like that !!!!

[@PeterEnis69]

how the heck does he play his kick double strokes. his foot motion looks so smooth, i have no idea how he's doing it xD

[@Sugarsail1]

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

[@57GnG79]

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

[@faaizali1]

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

[@gallaghera5648]

Thomas seems like he's the nicest guy on earth
