- Since a lot of you guys wanted to know more about this particular drum set, I decided to give you a little tour! I am talking about the drums, cymbals and about the mic's.
Check out www.thomaslangdrumcamp.com and www.thomaslangdrummer.com
Enjoy!
If I had that kit set up in my garage people would think that I'd died because I would never be seen again. Well that's not totally true, all my neighbours would know I wasn't dead:-).
if you had Lang's set-up, the neighbours wouldn't hear you either. Pretty sure that room is well isolated and he lives in the burbs.
he's such a monster player and that kit sounds really good, especially the kick and floor tom.
I wanna know how Thomas finds time to practice, perform, record, AND WORKOUT!!!! He must have a secret time machine hidden in his kick drum.
The key is to start doing that when you're young, when you still have time in life...
Drum kit tours *drools* I can watch videos like this all day long. Love the octabon placement. Cheers
Yes Maestro !
I like the coffee machine - I think it is combined with a pedal.... Interesting set and lot of power, although it looks a bit like sports....
Yea Thomas!
lovely
he is a true master isn´t he ?
GOAT!
at 5:05 is he holding the left drumstick upside down? :P
Yes, he was previously doing rimshots and just didn't care to flip it back over
i wished u were in Dream theater
The Arnold Schwarzenegger of Drums...
ha ha ha - you hit the point :-)
Only needs to become an american politician some day
@@intingwithzoe5715 yep, I think he would do a good job 👍
Yes. Das ist richtig.
No way you just wrote that 8 years ago. I was just watching this and said the same shit!!😂🤣
"Now both toms together..." Plays the whole kit.
Thumbs up if you went to play drums after watching this..
No i cried because he is so many lightyears better than i am.. Lol
Jonka Olofsson hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Exactly how i feel after watching literally ANY drum video :P
Jonka Olofsson he had practiced since he was five, and he is FOURTY-ISH, even though he stopped practicing the last 10-15 years because of schedules, he did it for over 30 years(!). He probably practiced longer than you're alive hahahah, give it time, if you're patience and perseverant you'll get there. :)
I actually think he is in his 50s now.. But we will see how good i am when i'm 50 haha!
Jonka Olofsson He's actually gonna be 48 this year
It's really sad to see all these drummers saying "oh this makes me not want to play ever again" or "I'll never be this good". Drummers like this should inspire you, they should make you want to get better.
Brandon Sellers Yep, there's two types of people in the world.
I'm still trying to get this good!
Brandon Sellers music is about passion, not about being the best imo
those drummers that are saying that are not real drummers anyway. Real musicians know the difference. Let them quit, it weeds out the hacks.
Jim A I don’t agree with that I think you can still change your perspective, learning from experience of thinking that way
Cut it out Thomas. Do you really need to be that good?
You're an absolute fucking beast of a drummer. I'd be happy to be half as good as you.
***** Ill take your advice.
Man, Thomas, you just blow my mind dude, you are definitely (in my opinion) the "BEST" drummer on the bloody Planet. I just love your drumming, your style of drumming, your talent and your personality. God Bless you my friend. I am very curious about your sticks as well, I think I may purchase a pair of them when I have a few dollars saved up. I have many health dysfunctions and so I'm on a very small disability each month, and so I'm quite poor. I play for my church now, but I have been drumming for over 40 yrs now, 20 semi-pro and professionally. But, I think you are just great man, talented but a good sense of humor as well, that's awesome. Take care Thomas and I hope to buy a pair of your sticks soon :)
Holy fuck, that floor tom sound.
1. I thought he said tuna fish.🐠
2. I need to practice more.
Imagine if Buddy Rich had this technology!!!
Pete Privitere i mean this guy is way better than buddy sooo
elcaboose Well that's like, you know? Your opinion man.
Pete Privitere budy wouldn't use it😂 he only used one floor tom even though he had two and basically had 3-4 cymbals with a 4 piece kit.

What good would that do?...Buddy has a great left hand. No feet at ALL! No comparison at all, to Thomas Lang. You need the tools to integrate the technology, is all I'm saying.
@@MaGoo7042-n2y buddy was the “Thomas” of his time and I’m not even a real fan of his music. I’ll give props where they’re due though. Thomas is in a class all by himself imho.
Cool, never seen ratatoms/octobans controlled by a pedal!
awesome shit, hes so damn good and random but...totally looks like mark wahlberg
Thomas, I watch you play and I might as well just stop playing. I will never be that good and boy is that frustrating.
Always someone better. Always! No matter what sport or job or whatever.
***** HeyTorreylee, it's not about being the best or better than everybody else. It's about enjoying what you do and about living your passion. It's about doing what you love and being true to yourself. There's never anyone "better" than you at being yourself.
If what you say were true then I would be just as frustrated as you.
Same goes for everyone else. Vinnie Colaiuta would feel frustrated when he sees George Kollias' feet and Steve Gadd would want to give up when he sees Chris Coleman. It's not a competition. It's all about personality, nuance, creativity, flow, energy, inspiration and most of all: Music.
We're all at the same place in our development:
Not quite there yet- and never will be!
Practice enough and you will be that good. Maybe better!
Its all about passion and ambition!
*****
I was being sarcastic you dope.Stick to video games.
that is my dream setup
YO TOM!!! Love the ‘bits and pieces’ you add to your kit to give you your unique sound combinations ... GOD KNOWS where you get your speed from! I have a severely damaged right wrist that has had 7 rather bone crushing operations on (The initial injury happened before I started playing drums) so my ‘technique’ has always been compromised. The only way I can describe your scarey technique is that you must be a Sith Lord! As Palpatine said to Anakin Skywalker ‘The dark side is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be unnatural!!’ .... Your amazing to watch mate!! Keep it up!!! 👊🏻👊🏻
I've never been a fan of Thomas Lang until just now. Wow!!! Loved this video. Something about this video made me see Thomas in a whole new light. This guy is a monster drummer!!! And that kit is very interesting.
Vince
Your new fan!
seriously .. you can get rid of the internal mics.
+Alex M disagree, it adds more character to the sound.
on stage no difference .... again redundant feature
Matt van den Ham on stage no difference .... again redundant feature
+Alex M im sure it does make a difference if Lang uses it
In the installation video, he said that it was a backup feature in case something went wrong with the external mics. But I can't remember if he said that was for playing live or just for when he's recording in his own studio.
Belo vídeo de Thomas Lang comentando detalhes do seu setup 2014.
Mark Wahlberg? Aren't you suppose to be on a Hollywood movie film set?
Pound for pound the most disciplined drummer out there, I honestly can't think of another drummer that can tackle as many genres even verging on the extreme as adeptly and fluidly as this guy, even Vinnie.
JUST LIKE I THOUGHT. Nothing else to say!
That's very cool
Un lindo dia amigi
Thomas Lang, ladies and gentlemen.
it sounds like 5 people playing at the same time
packinwood2009 absolutely right !!!!!!!
Mark Wahlberg is a drumming beast!
Nice "kitchen" =)
"DW" - is Dave Weckl ? =)
DW = Drum Workshop :)
ure hiding ur german accent pretty well tho :P
7:23 what you all came here to see!!
$300 pedal for $30 percussion.
Hello, I didn't clearly understand, what is the "black tuning stuff" on all the drums lugs ?
I always chuckle when Thomas plays. He's so fun to watch
mark wahlberg on drums!
Ivan Lostthreads nah he's Arnold Schwarzenegger on drums. Or maybe a mix of both?
You're killing me Thomas!! oh man!
1:07 ?Which I like ALuut :D
1:44 Jack Nicholson's cuckoo's nest retarded face...
..I wish I could visit your boot Camp :)
Thanks again!
That floor tom is bangin'
This building doesn't look as tall as the one in Creative Control.
Thomas messing around on his kit >>>>>> terry bozzo's crappy "solos"
Watched this video at least 10 times !!! The set the mic's the cymbals everything is amazing man!!!
all the super high-quality components! but the camera seems pretty crappy xD
SOS UN CRACK!!🏆
Oh my these cymbals! He can bend them
You can bend every cymbal with bare hands. That one only is much softer then others.
Fuck yeah!!! :) Thanks Thomas for uploading! Amazing bro!!!!
A class act with a full bag of Drum Workshop® Collector's Series™ gear, right down to the May Mics so popular in the studio. BTW, what happened to the previous Sonor®/Hohner® kit? I found that Hohner Musikinstrumente GmbH canned production of some of the Giant Step™ pedals - I wanted to get one of those worth-every-dollar Twin Effect Pedals (Hohner® C/N GTEP), which newcomers to the task haven't approached in performance and durability - for poor sales.
lol. "I can play the kicks and hi-hat's at the same time". I would be surprised if there was something he couldn't do: Amazing drummer and educator.
@ pac401 it doesn't matter whether you are the best what matters is that you enjoy playing and manage to reach whatever goals you set yourself, I am a new player myself and have not had 7 lessons so far I am living my childhood dream to play a full kit being the best isn't important to me but living my dream and enjoying playing drums is Enjoy your playing and practice as much as possible
Tomas, and what about your sick kicks, they are pretty awesome, some stuff about it? Tunning, sizes, drumheads, beaters, of course pedals. I think all in here want to know more about this.
The tour of the kit finishes three weeks after the tour with the band does. This is..... how can I put it? Where is there a clip of Thomas playing kick (one) snare (not three) hats (less than his usual FIVE) rack, floor, ride and two (okay, three if he feels nervous) crash cymbals. He is one of the best drummers I've seen, but he has too many drums.
Tuna Fish Lug Locks to keep the drum lugs from loosening while recording? Really? I think that need is a huge indicator of somebody playing waaaaaayyyyy too FFFF
toca muito parabéns vc e Aquires povo e o melhor do mundo
Greetings Thomas, great video. You don't seem to talk about the kick drum at all. Can you mention size, heads, mics. etc?
Awesome video!
When is the next Schwarzenator album coming out?!?!
@footjam2002 original stock dw is what they ship with. you can use any brand, thickness or coating depending on the sounds you want. for beginners i would re on cheaper kits id recommended remo pinstripe style to get a more instant sound, and to hide the poor drum quality.
The dampener on his snare is a Sonor muffler which he probably just kept around from his Sonor days.
just so much filth in this video. what a fantastic kit and man your playing is superb. HAIL!
Awesome kit and awesome skill. Have you ever been to New Zealand? If not maybe it's time for a visit...
Thomas knows whats up
Lang should never have left Sonor. Much better sounding kit than these muddy tubs.
1:58 correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't those Octobans?
Nope. Octobans are acrylic drums made by Tama and come in a set of 8 (hence "Octo"- bans). Octobans have the head stretched flush over the shell like a gong drum. These Drum Workshop drums here are "Rata-toms" (Not "Roto toms" made by Remo either) and they are 6" diameter tube-drums 12-18 inches deep. They are made from maple shells and have a rim just like any regular tom/snare. They are tune-able to a specific pitch like any single-headed drum.
Wow I've been completely mixed up, thanks for the clarification!
Stick Trix Octobans can be bought in sets of two and four, stand included. Also, Octobans have tuning screws as well, so you can tune them to pitches, however, the pitch of an Octoban-type drum (be it Rata-Toms, Octobans, Rocket Toms, Cannon Drums or Deccabons) is determined by the shell depth, since all the models mentioned are 6" in diameter.
Dominick Zipoli Nope, its not cause of eight, its just name of this type of drum of Tama. I think, its the same product, but different name, depends on factory. I think, RataToms, Octobans, Rocket Toms, Deccabons and many more are the same, but from different companies.
Trutadrummer The only different thing I've seen so far is a bunch of SONOR prototype drums that Gavin Harrison is now using with King Crimson. They are pretty much Octobans, but they're 8" in diameter and have a resonant head too.
This guy is way way out , I can dig it ! Machine Man on the Tubs & Lids , One mush know what one wants, Before one gets what one wants. , And he gots it ! Thanks for posting.
I dig his old setup much more but I understand experimenting is cool and is needed for motivation and other styles of drummimg...
I really hate the way that floor tom sounds. I think the 2 mic setup works ok on the rack, not digging it on the floor at all.
I like both snares, but i really like a really cracky snapy loud snare. I was never really a big fan of fat snares but thats just me. I guess i like it better cause i listen to dream theater, the faceless. Im just used to it.
How do you change from internal mic to external mic??? Many thanks
in my opinion, thomas lang would be the best drummer for Dream Theater...he is the best!
Love that kit. Amazingly talented drummer!!!!!! I use a 10in rack Tom and a 12in 16in floor. Love the contrast and attack.
I love the drum set up especially the pitch of everything where its flat.. and not up balls in your face in front of you easier to hit
awesome! please whats the name of the music on the end?
I wouldnt wanna be his drum set... Talk about painful....
Great hands Thomas! Do you do anything to keep your wrists healthy for the longterm?
If I tune the snare drum really lower, then it would sound like 70s type of thing!
Looks like Mark Wahlberg on this one. Say "Hi" to your mother for me.
fucking monster... and his double bass is incredibly solid
This guy is just a machine! It's actually quite intimidating...
multi-faceted cutting edge, not just a flash in the pan, high quality artiste.
I’ve said it SO many times, this guy AINT human!!!!
didn't like that first snare but that second one was sweet, great drummin
Hi guys, anyone knows is the brand of those little locks Thomas uses on his snare drum and toms?
i saw you in brazil, greetings!
Damn! Mark Wahlbergs cousin has some serious chops!
Are we sure that Jesus Christ is the son of God? I think it might be Thomas Lang! haha
Low tuned snare drums sucks! Besides that everything is awesome
great info.. always wanted to be a drummer. Thanks T
He is the Thomas the tank engine of drummers in the world.
hallo Thomas Lang,
you are defenitly the best technic drummer of the world.
ich mach weiter auf Deutsch.
Ich liebe Deine Sebnsibilität und Experimentierfreude .
Technisch denk ich kommt da keiner ran.
Deine Fußtechnik ist " nicht von dieser Welt "
Viele Grüße aus Seefeld am Ammesee in Bayern
hi im from nicaragua , im fan from thomas lang he is the best drummer on the world
The rata toms sound great. Pretty cool set up. Look like fun
you forgot to tell us about the base drum set up. great info though, thanks for sharing.
Slipknot should ask Thomas to play since Joey moved on
Thomas looks like Mark Wahlberg in this vid
If you don't mind me asking, how do you get that bass drum sound?
