I wish every drummer could experiment the ways you do. You’re amazing and that kit is awesome! Every couple of years I find new inspiring content coming from your drumming developments. Thanks for sharing your passion and ideas the way you do! 🍻
Wow!!! I've never thought of muffling the second stroke while playing doubles on the cowbell. This is enlightening. Thank you Mr Thomas as always for your continued inspiration. Love from Nigeria.
Thomas is one of the few drummers that a tour around his set is a small concert with "secret tips" thrown in. What an amazing talent Mr. Lang is. I have to admit I watch all of his videos at least twice and I always hear or see something new the 2nd round.
This whole video makes me happy. Super interesting setup, but I think the most enjoyable part of it is to see how happy Thomas seems when he's playing. A cool fish in the right waters. Thank you so much!
I love that Thomas explores all the possibilities of drumming, out of the box thinking but maintaining the essentials of great drumming. Not forgetting to mention the way he explains everything. He makes learning exciting and easily understood.
Continually expanding the realms of possibilities with drums and percussion. Nothing is ever off the table. Thomas could hit a series of dustbin lids and make them sound like they are worth thousands of pounds. His ingenuity, imagination and technical ability knows no boundaries. Absolutely outstanding musician and a talent that that you may only see a few times in a generation. Hes devoted his life to the art and whilst there are many outstanding drummers out there covering many genres, I never tire of listening to Thomas and always look forward to what hes going to come up with next. I will never ever reach his level, and Im not being a defeatist at all because I know my limits, but he does inspire me to at least be the very best that I can be. He is a incredible musician ..... or should we say .... "magician" within the art?
Thank you for your professional, clear, on-point presentation, mixed with your chilled, always humorous nature, very inspiring and informative, you really found your equipment that fits your style and strengthen your sound. An austrian master in America !!
I don't care for the sound of really big or really small snares generally but I always support setting up interesting kits and experimentation with setups. Easily one of the most fun part of drums imo. It's like a toy building set that you get to play music with.
I’ve incorporated many of the same concepts on my drum sets, except without the same resources, or anywhere near the chops. The rhythmic journey is so much fun.
No disrespect to Dave Grohl, for he's one of my favorite musicians, but I get so sick of people saying he's the best drummer in the world. I'm pretty sure he'd agree that he's a great drummer a world class song writer, but he's got nothing on Thomas. Get a clue. I live with a pair of drumsticks in arms reach always, and I just hope I become half of what this guy is on the drums!
This feels like a kit that is built from the ground up for grooving in the pocket. This is not a fills/chops kit. Super cool. THIS is the drumming I love to see and hear.
Hi Thomas, I've watched your creative control video since a long time ago and I was so looking forward to buying the same practice pads that you had- called the Remo Thomas Lang Practice kit. RP-1200 when I could afford it. Now that I possibly could, I was wondering if you would ever release another variant of that practice pad kit.
I've been working on that idea for several years now and yes, I would like to revisit the original design and even tweak/ improve it some more. I will post all about it when it is ready to be released.
I don't really even know where Thomas lang is from. What bands hes been in. I dont even really know much of his playing(from songs,bands,albums) just only literally from videos like this,watching him play. So with all that said, hes like the drummer that i dont even know, bit hes one of the very few top drummers ever, in any part of the world. And you cant even debate on it he just is
I'd be interested to know how high the bass drum beaters are set at. In all of his videos, it looks like they're on the low side - not sure if that's the case or just an optical illusion, but beater height is a huge pedal adjustment variable.
He is just like "yeah so I added this piece to the set" *proceed to blow your fucking brain with an extremely high precision, fast and tight drum solo you cannot even comprehend what is he hitting or where did it came from*
Where do you get the 14x14 Snare/Tom...? I think i can convert my floor tom. How would you tune it and what reso head would you use, and snare wire size?
¿Haven't thought about having a definitive drum and cymbal setup for the rest of your career that expresses your personal sound? You are one of the most chameleon drummers for permanently changing kits.
Hi Thomas! Fantastic playing as always 🙌 Any insight or advice you could give to why you chose the MCD over the MDD's? Do they play or feel very similar to the 9000 pedal aside from the perforated foot board? Or if anyone wouldn't mind chiming in; I have a 9000, and would love to try a MDD or MCD if it'd be a worthy upgrade, but my local music shops don't have any to play or demo. Big fan and looked up to you and your drumming for 10+ years now, thanks for all you do! 🙏
Thomas is so passionate and charming when talking about his drums.
I wish every drummer could experiment the ways you do. You’re amazing and that kit is awesome!

So locker und präzise… sehr elegant.
There are good drummers, great drummers and Thomas Lang. Thank god for RUclips.
This whole video makes me happy. Super interesting setup, but I think the most enjoyable part of it is to see how happy Thomas seems when he's playing. A cool fish in the right waters. Thank you so much!
How lucky we are to have this guy and the internet in our musical lives
Top of the mountain, top tier drummer! Best theirs ever been! What a genius mad scientist of a drummer! God bless Thomas Lang!!!!
Possibly the nicest sounding collection of cymbals I have ever heard.
Entertaining tour through the kit and short demos in between to die for 😃🤘🤘
I love that Thomas explores all the possibilities of drumming, out of the box thinking but maintaining the essentials of great drumming. Not forgetting to mention the way he explains everything. He makes learning exciting and easily understood.
Thanks Mattie!

Thomas Lang is so inspiring. His enthusiasm for drumming and creativity is infectious.
Every time I watch TL play, Just makes me smile ear to ear. Such a creative & innovative world class drummer/musician. Thanks for the upload 😀
A lesson in playing with dynamics and at the same time a pure joy watching a master of drums. And you make it looks so easy!
Thank you for your professional, clear, on-point presentation, mixed with your chilled, always humorous nature, very inspiring and informative, you really found your equipment that fits your style and strengthen your sound. An austrian master in America !!
Vielen Dank!
I could watch those videos all day long. Drumporn of the highest order
That’s one insane kit. He’s always been my favorite drummer and I regard him as the best really.
Random RUclips suggestion. Damn, this dude is insane! Definitely diving into his other videos.
Have fun down the rabbit hole, Thomas Lang is one of the greatest drummers of the last 20 years.
Wow! Thanks for the tour! And the mini lessons that came along with it. Your are truly inspirational - thanks Thomas!
We need The All Kick Kit™️ next 🤩
That 20 X 18 is just ball rattling, love the whole kit...
Great Rig Run Down!!! Love it!!!
Ghost notes at 10:20 is just stellar. Love the 6". Excellent
Chris “ Daddy “ Dave comes to my mind who also has all Snare Drums on his kit first and foremost!🎼
Exactly just was finna say that
Thomas Lang is a pure genius.
I love the thoughtful/methodical approach to how you setup and use your instrument. Well done.
Those cymbal sounds incredible. Meinl must crap their pants daily to be fortunate enough to sponsor the great TL.
Such a machine, always impressed.
SO much awesomeness in this video!! Thank-you Thomas(and Chris)!
Our pleasure!
Thomas is very informative and instructional on his technique and equipment. A very entertaining discussion.
wow those drum snippets are perfect for adding some music on top! I'm gonna try that.
I always appreciate how creative you are when it comes to your setup, a real inspiration
Massive respect for your talent and fresh approach to drumming. Thankyou.
Awesome !! I always watch your videos teacher Thomas lang. I learn a lot with your techniques... Greetings from Lima-Peru
You're always coming up with fresh stuff... very inspiring!!
Hey Thomas, you are a killer👺 I love listening to your drum playing🤘
Wow. Incredible sound. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Lang!
I love when he goes on these really long jamming tangents between describing each piece 😆
Without doubt one of the greats
That is a really cool kit. Way outside the box.
Mate!!! Your Rata Tom and concert bass drum grooves!! WOW
Conga snare! I love it 😁 Thanks for sharing Thomas
I don't care for the sound of really big or really small snares generally but I always support setting up interesting kits and experimentation with setups. Easily one of the most fun part of drums imo. It's like a toy building set that you get to play music with.
I love the sympathetic snare buzz constantly happening while talking 😂
I’ve incorporated many of the same concepts on my drum sets, except without the same resources, or anywhere near the chops. The rhythmic journey is so much fun.
AWESOME Tom!!! Wish I could spend a year with you mate!! Sort my playing right out!!! 👊🏻👊🏻
16:40 LMAO. Demos his ride with absolutely *flawless* push/pull technique.
This guy’s an animal.
Too much greatness, can hardly handle it. GOAT.
Playing legendary timing out of this world!!!
The cymbals are all "mine all" ;-) Greets Thomas - from Austria!
Thomas Lang is just something else!
Love the sound of that bell hi hat with the pedal
I thought that was fantastic Thomas Lane you're my favorite very creative and I love that thanks again bless you
Love it Thomas! Always a fresh approach!
What a treat, totally amazing!
Is simply funny to come up with all the different contrasts that result from the different kinds of drums.
Immer wieder neue coole Ideen. Mega😀👍👍👍🥁
LOL at the audio when the camera operator was under the snares, Thomas sounded like a drive-thru speaker.
No disrespect to Dave Grohl, for he's one of my favorite musicians, but I get so sick of people saying he's the best drummer in the world. I'm pretty sure he'd agree that he's a great drummer a world class song writer, but he's got nothing on Thomas. Get a clue.

@Topjunkieno disrespect to him , but yep!
Hummmmm ... I see a Yamaha Phoenix .. Gorgeous !!
This feels like a kit that is built from the ground up for grooving in the pocket. This is not a fills/chops kit. Super cool. THIS is the drumming I love to see and hear.
🧢
I like how he gets lost in the joy of playing while doing a "kit tour" 😆
Batera mais ninja que já vi! Fodaaa!🔥🔥🔥
Thomas equals legend 🥁🥁

creativity to the max.
I like how he thinks the gong drum is his “secret weapon”
I don't really even know where Thomas lang is from. What bands hes been in. I dont even really know much of his playing(from songs,bands,albums) just only literally from videos like this,watching him play. So with all that said, hes like the drummer that i dont even know, bit hes one of the very few top drummers ever, in any part of the world. And you cant even debate on it he just is
Thanks again for another gear run down...
And some "food" for thought.... 🥁
just love all of this!
Ayyye, love a good drum kit tour.
Thomas is the best drummer in the world. Vinnie is amazing, too.
I'd be interested to know how high the bass drum beaters are set at. In all of his videos, it looks like they're on the low side - not sure if that's the case or just an optical illusion, but beater height is a huge pedal adjustment variable.
Freaken cool Thomas 👍
The Man.
Nice snare drum!
Could you put snares on the bass drum?
That floor/bass drum with only top skin sounds awesome.
But, didn’t you like banging around on Simon Phillips set with all of those different voices and colors of sound?
Always 'Evolving' Herr Kommissar ;-)
He is just like "yeah so I added this piece to the set" *proceed to blow your fucking brain with an extremely high precision, fast and tight drum solo you cannot even comprehend what is he hitting or where did it came from*
Where do you get the 14x14 Snare/Tom...? I think i can convert my floor tom. How would you tune it and what reso head would you use, and snare wire size?
Drumeo had a great video with Larnell Lewis about snoms a few years ago, he breaks down his whole tuning method.
How I like clever drummers
Dream kit
Total badass
Thomas id love to see how you mix your drums!
Has been done .
Gorgeos Lang and Gorgeos set !!!
I need a snare urgently but in my country it is impossible to have it.
can't imagine! Drums are everywhere!
Can't you buy one online? You have internet.
The curse of my dw collectors series is the lugs going loose on the kick!
is he calling that 6" a ratatom or rototom, isnt it an octoban?
Octoban is the name of the Tama varient, I believe DW calls them ratatoms
I call this the Chris Dave setup
¿Haven't thought about having a definitive drum and cymbal setup for the rest of your career that expresses your personal sound? You are one of the most chameleon drummers for permanently changing kits.
Maestro!

Awesome.
Strange but cool
No sé por qué Thomas sube videos con título ‘Thomas Lang haciendo esto o lo otro’ en tercera persona suena raro, pero chévere
Ridiculously fluid. How!!??
tolles Kit
