- Thomas Lang is giving you a tour of his DW Concert-Tom drum set. This is a full drum kit-"nerd-out" with pathetic gear-talk, dumb jokes, silly faces, soundcheck and some jamming!
If you love concert toms then this is for you!
Follow Thomas on IG @thomaslangdrum. Also follow @9beatsusa and check out www.9beatsUSA.com
Happy spring! Видеоклипы
I'm convinced that Thomas is secretly the Terminator who developed a love for drumming. He's even got the Austrian accent for it!
😂😂 "I'll be back!" Thomas groove on dude 🔥🥁🔥DC
Well , he is like a machine when he plays, he is absolutely, hands down, one of the most skilled drummers on the planet. Practice, practice, practice!
The drumminator !!!
@@leandrobego154 @4:25 Yahahlalalalaaa!!
He’s definitely the terminator for drumming . I could only imagine getting all that gear for free and being paid for playing it. I am happy for him.
This guy's one of the coolest drummers around....feels like you're hanging at a friend's place having beers, and talking drums.
Thomas in 2019 : Toms are boring !
Thomas in 2021 : TEN TOMS !!!
Clearly I don’t know what I like... or what I don’t like... I’m still figuring it out!
@@ThomasLang00 lol. Terry Bozzio said the hell with it a long time ago.
@@n.c-ludwigdrummer5728 Imagine being Bozzio's Tech.
@@ThomasLang00 I move my cymbals around all the time !
I like how the Rata Tata Toms increase in pitch from L - R and the Toms decrease in pitch from L - R
It’s so cool to see guys like Thomas who are drummer gods just been down to earth geeking about gear and enjoying messing around with their toys like all of us mortals lol
@Rex R I think concert toms are underrated. But they do have a time and a place. Regardless, Thomas always plays the latest and greatest. Some will say "Lucky" but it takes time and dedication to get to that point. I'm more inspired by his geekiness than the chops (not that they are not impressive by any means). There are Lots of guys with chops out there but no feel, some jaded, some too full of themselves. I like the excitement, the giggles, the dad jokes, and the "I can't stop playing this thing because it's so cool! Squirrel! Look at this other thing I got!". That's pasion.
Us drummers also are the biggest gear geeks out of all musicians, I reckon! 😀 I also play other instruments but have always enjoyed it the most to chat with other drummers! 😊
Beautiful set up Brother! You ROCK! ;)
AND AI AQUILES PRISTE YOU ARE A LIVING LEGEND IN THE BATTERY! I ADORE YOU MUCH ONE OF THE BEST!

AQUILES!!!
Kkkkkk ver um fodão pagando pau pra outro é sempre mto massa
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I love any help you can give me
@Roland Donald instablaster =)
My wife was listening to me watch your video from her end of the office and she no longer thinks I am the craziest, most excitable, drum weirdo on the planet. Thanks Thomas for making me look normal.... Keep Keepin On Brotha!!! 🤘🤩🤘Frito

not only is he a great drummer. He seems like a rly good person and a friend. he's the man!
He's like a kid in a candy store 😂
Play a Paradiddle every time Thomas says " They have a very distinct pitch ".
Instructions unclear, am now blacked out drunk
As I have long suspected, not only is Thomas an inspirational drummer, he's also batshit crazy...
Speaking personally, I've yet to meet a drummer who isn't a bizarre combination of crazy and intelligent. I'm sure drumming is a condition you're born with
@@colinstewart1432 yes. It is definitely a condition 😂
Phil Collins made Concert Toms famous. His Gretch shells are Timeless.
Huh. I figured it was Hal Blaine.... Must be a generational thing
I just went from hating my sympathetic snare buzz to LOVING it. Keeps it so much more real.
Bought a set of 13/14 inch timbales to put off to the side of my kit. They sounded so good tuned low with clear ambassadors that I made them my main toms, took the reso heads off my 10,12 inch rack toms, cranked them up, put them next to the timbales and now I have a Phil Collins looking and sounding “concert Tom” kit
I was 16 when I bought my first drum kit which had concert toms. I've still got it 36 years later. Really interesting to hear your enthusiasm for my favourite drum sound.
it's incredible how a reference drummer like him can be so "real" like normal people while sharing and enjoying his drumheads changing! Much appreciate those contents, that's at the same experience level of your drum performance for drummers audience!
Phil Collins + Gretsch = badass concert tom kit.
The rocking back and forth of everything the hi hat stand is attached to would drive me effin nuts!
How rad would that be to walk into a room full of drum heads and accessories and just grab what you want when you need it. Of course you better be damn deserving of it which he is 🔱🥁
Your kit and the way you maintain it is a marvel in itself, let alone the badass performances you deliver.
I love how happy Thomas is every time he gets behind a kit. This video is amazing, I’ve been super curious about the concert toms, this setup in particular 🔥
I started with a 1970s Octoplus kit and those drums sound amazing! The exact replica of Neil Pearts Silver/chrome kit. I loved that damn kit. Someone Def has it somewhere bc it was stolen during a show.
Makes me think of......John Guerin.. Hal Blain....Nigel Olsen and Harvey Mason back in the 70s. Guerin with Joni Mitchell live or with Tom Scott and the LA Express. The canon sound. The opening of ''Hawaii 50 tv series. Massive round house concert toms. Good on ya TL.
What an incredible video. Love him and his approach to drumming. More importantly I love how this video shows you his thoughts to the drums while he tunes. Awesome
love the leather hoops!
Everytime I see a new video from you Thomas, I get so excited... the little 5th grader just starting off on drums I use to be would never of thought he could see such an inside view into your drumming equipment and personality. Thank you for sharing! I love it.
Sounds freaking excellent! The performance and the drums! Fantastic!
Thanks for being such an ambassador to the craft of drumming Thomas, you're a huge asset to the inspiration of our community...And a true renaissance man of the modern-day drummer.
Thomas! Thank you for the setup tour and sound showcase... the concert toms are so warm and expressive! I love playing the remo pinstripe clear on my toms and powerstroke on my snare and BD. Keep on rockin!
Thomas you have amazing energy!! You have been inspiring me since I was 12 years old! Thank you for everything! ❤
oh my god I absolutely love Thomas' enthusiasm. What a beautiful soul.
I have now officially found my favourite drum tone ever. That is just gorgeous.
I’m glad to see that I’m not crazy to be using concert toms in my kit. I’ve gotten a lot of strange reactions over the years for having concert toms for half of my drum set, but they sound amazing, and YES they are beautiful.
I love DW, and your set looks and sounds amazing.
Great video!
I've loved watching you show us your kits since your video in 2012 when you showed us that amazing short stack custom shop kit. Love seeing how different all of your kits are!
Who wouldn't want to show that beautiful kit off ? Its gorgeous!
I absolutely love this! That kit is gorgeous! That's also a really great technique for tuning bass drums. 100% going to try it out!
thats why carl palmer use them, he say is more easy to find the right note in every drum than a double headed tom, also the octobans have a great pitch for the same reason..., concert toms proyect more than a regular tom....
That is so true about connecting with your kit and hardware when you take it apart and clean it. I used to love doing that. What an incredible drumset you have.
The concert toms... I just love how clear and articulate they always sound. Gotta get me a kit of these 👍
I could watch that kind of stuff all day from you Thomas and never gets bored. Love your brilliant sense of humor 😂 Cheers!
This whole video is absolute gold.
I think this is your best sounding kit yet. Entertaining video, beautiful drums, enjoyable playing.
Thank you so much for taken the time to show us this masterpiece drum set .Absolutely sound amazing. Thank you for tuning tips aswell. Mostly Thank you for playing Absolutely the pinnical of drumming.
What a beast! Love the sound! Love that kit!
I love all of your kit variations. Awesomeness!!
Thanks for the walk down the hallway, that was inspiring.
Thomas Lang, one of my favorite drummers of modern time. Not only skills, but with so many different cool drum configurations and gadgets. Also seems like a genuine down to earth guy. Keep it up
That kit is so sick!! Just a beautiful instrument!
This video has single-handedly convinced me to go concert toms on my next session. Amazing as always.
Ohhhh damn TL, ❤️ the concert toms! I too, am from the ‘70’s era. I grew up on those toms and my first Pearl kit had 4 mounted concert toms. I had that kit until 8 years ago. Although I had a tour kit with my last band, anytime I played a show with my concert tom kit everyone raved over its look and sound! 🎼🥁
Im always learning from you. You're the most fun to watch and listen too. Rock 'n' Roll
Every drum set that you build Thomas out does the last this one is absolutely beautiful
I love such tours - thanks for sharing Thomas
Thanks Thomas, great video!
I love your sense of humour, seeing that other side of you. It cracked me up.
Thanks for the tech tips, sharing your insight and passion for our instrument. The velcro hoops and bass drum mounts are great.
The DW hardware is sensational too. Thanks for the tour of your "Batman" concert tom kit 😁
I've always loved concert toms. Very cool to see them used in this context.
THUD BONER! Great name for the kit. Theres so much baddasery in this video. Thanks for making this one.
This is awesome, thanks Thomas. Great set-up as always. Insane sounding toms. Love the insight into your head selection and hardware set-up. :)
thanks Tom. such humour and intelligence and skill on display. I also play concert toms. love em
I too grew up with concert drums! I love them! Thanks Thomas. You are the best!
I've seen Thomas twice in clinic and I was astounded by how humble he was for such a monster player. His positivity and continued quest for new sounds and tones is absolutely awesome. Another player who makes me want to practise but also give up in equal measure.
Like a museum! Superb!
Love your comment about reconnecting with your kit when you replace and clean the kit. I start out dreading it and then bam, a Saturday is gone and I have fallen in love with my kit all over again. My family thinks I'm nuts ,but it's my hobby/passion. Thanks for showing us that you are a real world drummer still,doing you're own work, lol. Peace
Thank you for the walk through and logic behind the setup. Very clear and insightful.
I love concert Toms too. 💗💗
Also I love how essentially you mic everything with mics intended for larger drums. It's like you know the soul of your drums are bigger than their physical body.
Wicked stuff Thomas,
I've played drums for 30 years and still love looking at a drum kit...my good pal says "drums are the fire place of the stage" ...
Stay safe buddy...👍👍👍👍🥁🥁🥁
Being a massive Kiss and Peter Criss fan I love that Thomas is so into the concert toms. I have always loved the sound and how Thomas describes it in this video is so spot on! Mate you are an absolutely amazing Drummer, Teacher, recording artist, composer and just an all-round great bloke! Thanks for the past drumming inspirations and thanks for what ever it is you are doing in the future, I'm sure it will be first class as always!!!
I was thinking of Peter Chris too when I saw those concert toms
For me concert toms are synonym of Phil Collins. Didn't know that Peter Criss used them too!
@@gabriel_mendez Lots of guys from that era, both studio musicians and performance artists used them. Most of the songs you hear from the 50s through the 80s were done by Hal Blaine, who used concert toms exclusively IIRC.
Blessings to you, TL. Those bass drum tuning tips are fantastic.
This video and this guy just might bring back the concert tom kits of the 'old days'...LOVE that sound.
I love your enthusiasm Thomas!
Thomas is very entertaining and amusing to watch off and on the drumset such an inspiration
The drums & your playing is on point as usual. Thx for the tips and sharing..
A very humble guy for someone of incredible talent.
What an amazing kit!!!! I love the fact that you showed us how you tune your kick. I've been struggling with that, so I pulled my kick, did exactly what you did and wow, it sounds awesome!!!! Thomas, you are an amazing drummer brother!!! Love ya man!!!!
PS, now please teach us a trick for tuning the toms!!!!
There is no such thing as "the best drummer" but Thomas Lang is so down to earth, and seems like the coolest drummer, that he is the best drummer.
We Austrians are proud to have a rock drummer like Thomas, who was even invited to play in the Dream Theater auditions. So he is one of the world‘s greatest rock drummers, without doubt. 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Absolutely
Should of got the gig in my opinion....
Awesome studio, and yeah drums sound unreal! Thanks for the video!
wonderful video, always a great reference for me! very nice drum sound
Thomas is down to earth, shows his love and appreciation for drums and everything geeky about them and bleeds fascination and obsession for drums.
Just love that he’s casually got marvels agents of shield in the background at random
Love it Thomas! That set is killer. Wish I had a set of concert toms. Your skills are over the top.
Concert toms are awesome! Great video Mr. Lang.
Honestly. Who could possibly beat this guys technical mastery????
Nobody comes close.
Thank you very much for sharing these precious advices. :)
So freaking epic in every possible way. Lang rules!
The best word to describe Thomas Lang for me is "inspirational"
Pretty awesome Drum stuff! The Concert Toms sounds amazing 🙌
Love your honesty! Finally someone who doesn’t hide their opinions - I love your drumming
Wow, thank you for this wicket journey Thomas!
The bass response of those toms are incredible!
Sounds amazing!! 🏆
Thomas Lang drumsticks are amazing ! 🥁👍
that drumkit rules!!!! that´s the new sound!!! keep on thomas!!!
Sweet. I've got a big set from the late 70's , Tama Imperialstar Saturn 12+1, 13 drum set with 8 concert toms, 2 floor toms, double base and snare. I love the sound and it's been with me long enough to be a member of the family.
Thank you, Tom. I am in full agreement with you about the boldness of the DW Concert Kit. I love your style and the extra added fun to see that you have a very cool, dad-like sense of humor! I'm the same way with my kids. Don't you if you have kids, but if you do, I imagine you keep them having fun. Again, thanks for sharing your grooves and kit. Loved it!!
Love the tom sounds
Loved the format of this video
Hello Thomas from Daytona Beach. I ran a clinic for you back around 07 when you were with Sonor and you couldn't have been nicer or more genuine. Glad to see you still enjoying yourself! Still remember you saying your favorite tour at that time was Falco.
Thomas is so entertaining to listen and watch a true master of our generation a real HUMBLE human no ego needed his craftsmanship say it all I'm gonna listen to him more. Thomas you the man with the plan it's my pleasure to have him to watch.
I love you, Thomas!!!
Beautiful
We all know the fun you can have in the shed, cleaning day, fiddling and all, love it. Thomas is having fun too.
