    Hey Andrew! Enjoyed the video, quick tip - instead of clicking pause randomly to get the frame you want, RUclips has a couple of keys you can use when paused;
    Comma "," will move one frame back
    Period "." will move one frame ahead!

    Me and my buddy Benji went to Adams Drumworld Festival a couple of years ago. Outside there was this tall bloke (I'm 1.94m myself) who greeted us with a big smile. It took us a couple of seconds to process that Thomas Lang just greeted us 😂😂.
    We felt like Kings, and his performance on stage was amazing!

      Exactly. Some stuff from other legends like mangini, portnoy etc. is like: "well, maybe I can play this stuff one day if I only practice hard enough." Hearing stuff from Thomas is like: "Oh, guitar is an interesting Instrument too, Oh wait, thomas play guitar too? Well I should sell everything what reminds me to making music...".

    You’re right about hitting the drums off center. Someone did slow-mo shots of hitting drums and showed how the heads react. When you hit dead center the “ripple” of the head cancels out the tone or sound (resonance) you want. It’s on RUclips somewhere.
