Ppl are dumbasses. If it's not their favorite drummer and being that Thomas' skill is pretty much higher than ANYONE (and I'm a huge Donati and Mangini fan) there HAS be something for them to make up why he isn't as good as (fill in the blank) drummer.
Mike B I agree 100%. Let me ask you. Ive tried to like Mike M. But after him pulling out that Drummers magazine during a crappy solo was IT!! The appitimy of the ego. Lets be totally honest. Since his time with DT. He gotten very lazy, doesnt even do many fills now, he just have up hard work. And everyone has noticed DM starting to fail often on stage. Even Petrucci is missing notes due to drumming not laying on top of him like with Portnoy. So Mike M. Allowed EGO to destroy DT. Who would have imagined this?? Well, many people warned them about his ego. But they said he knoes Mike P. And our song's. That'll go down as what caused DT to fail!!!! Answer: Mike Mangine. He's contributes nothing. Please listen to last show before getting defensive. Cheers.
@@lincthomas7178 Exactly. Mangini thinks that the intro to When The Levee Breaks would sound just as good if every note was exactly the same velocity and exactly on the beat. WRONG.
Not sure who disliked this and all the negative comments but it’s obvious you don’t know drumming. This is an art and this performance here is one of the greatest masterpieces today performed by one of the greatest drummers on this planet!!! I’ve been watching Thomas for a long time now and have learned so much even after being a drummer for 30 plus years!!! Keep rocking big T!!! Feeling every second of your drumming such an inspiration!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I can say this with all of my heart and soul that you, Thomas is one of the best drummers in the world. Knowledge of the rudiments and practicing is really key to this kind of playing. Maybe one day I can be as good as you are.
Thomas is a God on drums. Never seen someone who can play with their feet with the control he has. He can play rufiments with double kick while accepting certain notes of his desire.
@@larrytate1657 TRAGIC STORY: over 20 years ago I designed a drumkit with 20 foot pedals (!).... but even more innovative was that each pedal had TWO parts, so the BALL of your feet triggers a different drum than your HEEL does! You can hit both with ONE foot, or go back and forth tween heel and ball!! SO the 20 pedals were 40 different percussion or drums! but I only designed it and didn't have the money or resources to build it!
Guitar player here, as my Jazz music instructor would say 'too many notes'. Love Thomas Lang and Paul Gilbert. Super precise and clean. Phenomenal musicians here.
The cool thing about this is that not only you get to see Thomas but you know that right outside the frame is Paul Gilbert, it really makes you listen more.
good point! like I can't WATCH an orchestra.... b/c it takes away the magic and brings the dynamic music down to earth too much. it's funny: sometimes SEEING the musician makes the music and notes clearer.... while other times NOT seeing the musicians makes the music and notes clearer (like listening to a song with out looking at the music video).
this is like a brain surgeon mopping the floors of the hospital up. total waste of TL's skills and imagination. I'm a drummer who simply refuses to play like this, b/c there are too many other drummers who can do it. I only like to play fun, creative,innovative drums that sound like no one else! Even cooler: I got a kid's drumkit and modded the fuck outta it (so everything is attached to the kick drum by cable ties etc!) and covered it in holographic tape....and I simply practice OUTDOORS all around society, from a walmart parking lot (we call this genre "Lot Rock" ha ha, when I jam with others outdoors) to near intersections to entertain ppl stuck at traffic lights for afew minutes! People of all walks go crazy for it, even thanking me for doing something different in this boring robot society. The other day a lady came up and gave me and my guitarist three 50 dollar bills! NOT BAD to get paid every day to learn your instrument, eh? EVERY musician should practice outdoors (in nice weather). it's paradise. and it's just a crazy bonus that lots of strangers will give me $20 bills to hear 1 minute of my creative drumming! AWWWW YEAHHHH!! (Every drummer who sees my more-efficient micro-kit [it even has a small glockenspiel attached to the kick!] has said "I want one!" b/c it takes me 30 seconds to set up my drums (!!) and i made that kit sound yummy, and they all realize "WHY THE F have I been practicing in a basement or attic or rehearsal space?" Plus, everyone with eyes and ears sees / hears my music! They love the super-efficiency!)
This is Thomas in GIG mode! He’s doing exactly what he needs to do with extreme precision, but nothing insane like his solos! He has been one of my top 5 favorite drummers for 14 years! Amazing
I want to meet Thomas just to shake his hand..he has taken drumming to a new level beyond understanding how a human can coordinate his body to do what he does...its scary
All I want to know is how the F does he remember every note without cheat sheets? Thanks Thomas for always keeping me inspired. You are a monster on any drum kit.

Did he say "Brighton " at the beginning??? I hope so because this would be Pauls 50th Birthday and I was there right at the front having my mind blown by some amazing playing from some amazing players. I was still buzzing a few days later. So glad to have experienced an amazing night....
It's not just how he's doing it, It's what he's doing. Catching every phrase and note, masterfully. It's also great to see Lang out playing with a band on stage. Do you see the size of that BASS Drum!?
Thomas is an incredible drummer,But not God,I for one would like to see him get in a band with real songwriters cause although this shows he can play a variety of styles and he is damned good at anything he chooses to play,But this seemed like virtuosos playing 4 bars of this 8 bars of that back and forth till everyone is nauseated no real oh shit moments cause every note was oh shit and that gets old!!Its sad to see such a talent never achieve what we all know he’s more than capable of!
@@markdemell3717 chill out bud we understand he's just a man! She gets it to, that's just a figure of speech she was referring too bud. It's all good bud but just lighten up a little that's my advice,✌bro
Really surprised that Lang is a fan of heavy metal, Racer X in particular. He’s mostly involved with jazz, fusion & big band compositions, which are more technical than rock. This is merely a walk in the park for him, considering his talent level. Rock On Tom, it’s fun stuff.
drums need to be front and center stage with a musician like this.. let the guitars walk around him the bass behind the drums... a round about.... we need to be able to see this shsiii-stuff ,,, would be quite the treat..
Lang es uno de los bateristas más grandes del mundo y posiblemente de la historia. Pero con todo mi respeto hacia Lang y con todo mi orgullo de haber escuchado al magnífico Patt Torpey,he de decir que Torpey le daba kepchup a las canciones y te hacía sentir cosas que ningún otro baterista me ha hecho sentir. Era un baterista top que llenaba de matices todos con sentidos especiales y golpes fantasma que parecía que no existían pero sin ellos las canciones no suenan igual. No pretendo bajar de nivel a Lang,es magnífico. Pero escuchar a grandisimos bateristas como Lang,magini,pornoy,etc. Me hacen saber la suerte que he tenido de haber disfrutado de para mí el mejor baterista de la historia. Patt Torpey. Descansa en paz gran maestro e inspiración, baterista de bateristas y sonrisa eterna.
And they said that he has got no feeling. Amazing stage presence, feel and skills.

Sad people
Thomas, you are unequalled.
Thomas Lang is really great here amazing playing. He is one of my favourite drummers to watch along with Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett.
I just recently discovered Moffet ,I like him a lot.
I can say this with all of my heart and soul that you, Thomas is one of the best drummers in the world. Knowledge of the rudiments and practicing is really key to this kind of playing. Maybe one day I can be as good as you are.

To take Thomas on the tour, was the best decision Paul would have ever made. Great show!
If you get to play with Paul Gilbert, you're not only good. but have to be one of the best!
This is very satisfying for all Paul fans, and there is a shitload of Racer X going as well
The cool thing about this is that not only you get to see Thomas but you know that right outside the frame is Paul Gilbert, it really makes you listen more.

love the fact that thomas can play out of this world chops and still love playing pockets and grooves
The monster chops are always talked about. Anyone else notice the incredibly precise timing that never falters from the first beat to the last?
Thomas Lang has feeling(s) that no one else can understand!!!
So good to see Thomas play some straightforward big fat rock grooves, instead of hypercomplex polyrhythms that no-one understands.
Listen to Paul Gilbert, first with Marco Minnemann and now with Thomas Lang, two of the best drummers in the world
It's nice to see you playing a killer band very band well, vs. seeing just amazing drumming.
This one is a CHALLENGE for memory, as a fast learner, it blows my buffer

Could watch this for hours. Great music.
wow!! that was something else! Most amazing Medley ever!!!
Everything about this is outrageous...
Wow! what an amazing performance all the way around! 5 stars gents!
Loving those cymbal sounds. Especially the big crashes.
I wish Paul would play this medley for those who have never experienced it.
Although, I also respect his decision to keep his set fresh.
What's amazing is the first 2 songs they play are almost 35 years old!
The Meinl's were sounding fantastic here. What a set! Great musicians.
Amazing Medley
Too cool.
Best drummer on the Planet
You sir are cyborgs sent from the future to discourage all drummers 😂 🤙🇯🇲❣️
Kick ass drumming, serious foundation!
Still and ever be one of my favorite hero - drummer in the world, love your work Thomas :-)

I like your style here. Good job Master.

Wow, he's like a machine. Incredible.

there was never a better drummer than this austrian !
Virgil Donati is more intense.
Many of us have learned from the great Master Thomas Lang.
SIMPLY AMAZING
My Husband knows Thomas Lang is a GOD of a drummer.
There is only one Creator ! People are so quick to GODIFY other people but,snub their noses at the ALMIGHTY ,UGH.He bleeds just like a real person.
