Modern Drummer Festival 2020 Thomas Lang drum solo performance

- Video dump! Here's my full performance from the Modern Drummer Festival 2020. Because of Covid I streamed the performance from my studio in Los Angeles. This performance and the whole festival that year were overshadowed by the passing of Neil Peart and all the performers chose to play something inspired by Neil in one way or another. My solo was improvised but I used Neil's passion and interest for Jazz and Swing/Shuffle/triplet-feels as a starting-and end point. I started by playing a shuffle pattern with my left foot and improvised over that for awhile, then took a bunch of twists and turns, did some bizarre noodling and randomly bashed out some frustration and then brought it back to the intro at the very end. Thank you Neil for the continuing inspiration and Thank you to Modern Drummer for inviting me back to perform for the 4th time!

I know an octopus wearing a human costume when I see one.
Yeah! You caught it too! Put this video in slow motion and you will see Thomas Lang has four more limbs!!
Still he has an amazing way of making it look like he doesn’t give more than 70% of his full capacity, even though what he plays is just incredible.
😂😆😅
It’s an octopus wearing an off brand Arnold Schwarzenegger costume
@@EthanHGray 😅🤣😆
It's official. Lang is just too good.
Nobody will ever touch this guy.
A bunch of us here have been or are drummers. THIS is way beyond what most of us ever touched. Just like Manny below this comment, I'm floored. I've never heard anyone integrate hands and feet like this. This is an order of magnitude beyond anything we old guys heard or throught of from ONE man playing in the 1960's and 70's.
that's because those old kits were crap
He's getting more musical with his solos. I mean I like the ultra-chops solos for the sheer skill but this is more compositional, which is pretty awesome.
He's a great band. Be a shame if he ever split up.
If you are so brave to comment on the level of HIS playing, then please be straightforward and talk directly to HIM, it's HIS channel..
@@c3N3q I assume he doesn't read comments, but if he does, Thomas you rock!
@@gerryfromthevoid8986 😂 well done, Person 786 !! 👍
Thoma Slang is cool. Keep on drummin', oh yeah!
TL is one of my favorite drummers in the world, he has earned our respect decades ago, and he still fails to disappoint.
Thank you 🙏
Please keep sending us more clips
I'm glad he didn't get stuck in dream theater. He's free to be who he is.
Absolutely unreal!!!! Thomas mother fkn Lang!!! Stamina, coordination, musicality, perfection!!
Master at work
Absolutely one of the greatest all time drummers...a rudimental master of his craft...
This man is insane
Dude just makes his left leg play a rhythm then forgets about it. That shit is so hard
oh yea he’s nasty
oh yea he’s nasty
I remember watching this festival and then when you came on I forgot about every other performance before you. You’re amazing my man. You’ve inspired me so much on the technical aspect of drumming as a young person I just want to say thank you for the path you forged for my generation. Thank you. I hope one day to follow in your footsteps
What up Thomas , sounds great , keep up the drumming!!
This was my audition piece for percussion class in 6th grade
lol
Mine too. I failed. Miserably lol
The best in the world, absolutely no doubt. Insane, not human,
The Declaration of Independence at work right here.
All these years later, and he's still delivering PEAK performances like this. Just further proof that Thomas Lang is a Machine and defies physics and logic.
And time, let's not forget 😉
The greatest drummer on the planet ever
He can do it all too - every genre!
These Boston Dynamics robots are getting better every day!
He's the Cyberdine Snare Smasher 300 TT
I've heard this dude's name for years and this is the first time I've watched him play. What the hell? There is no better drummer.
I agree!
Travis Barker
@@capgains Lol. Barker has chops and can groove, but he isn't in the same universe as Lang. Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey are the only other one's I'd even consider.
Matt Garstka
Thomas speaks my LANGuage. 😀
That is mind bending. I bet there isnt 10% of people on planet earth that could do that. If your not a drummer you have no idea how complicated this is.
Wow, next level stuff. Thank u sir!!
* 10 people
10%? I must be hanging out with the wrong people!
I'm a guitar player and believe me this is some magical shit!!
This here is a lives dedication to the drums .. inspiring others to play what's in there soul, reach out and try different timings. Buddy rich and Thomas lang will always be legends along time after we all leave this earth.
To be able to divide your mind like that, and complete all those separate grooves flawlessly at the same time. Thomas is pushing his boundaries even further.
Amazing drumming...I hear Terry Bozzio, Jeff Porcaro, Neil Peart, Dennis Chambers and Simon Phillips, all wrapped up into one drum solo...all with your unique twist...you truly are a drum god! Thanks for sharing brother...
He is making it looks easy, like a walk in the park. Real legend! Awesome
CHUCK NORRIS DREAMS OF THE SKILL THOMAS HAS.
Fuck Yeah
The man is just amazing, the limb independence is incredible.
Thomas is so good that i'm learning new things just by watching him solo it away. Absolute unit!
Easily one of the most linear drummers on the planet. Thank you for sharing this solo with us, Thomas. Bravo!!!
I keep expecting the Guitar Center employee to come up and tell him the store is closing. 🥴
Thomas Fricking Lang! New artist for me, but what a beast! Thank you for that!!!!!!
When thomas lang plays drum, you hear the melody and the rhythm. Another level. İts amazing to see someone do a job like that
That's just amazing...one of my new favourite drummers for sure.
Lang is simply too good.
His technical skill, his knowledge of rudiments, his limb independence.
No other drummer will touch this guy.
My favourite drummer
He's definitely up there with the best. In fact, if he puts a little more practise in, he could get to my level.
💪😀👍You're Exactly Right!!
😂@@dazthemod69
I played this for my warm-up this morning.
The coolest performance I've seen in a very long time. I've never seen anyone doing double hats with feet before. Going to be watching this many times over.
There is so much greatness in this solo it would takes years to even dissect it. Absolutely phenomenal as always Thomas!
thanks mentor for always inspiring
He has got to be one of the best in the world if not the best. Complete independence of all four limbs and insane speed and accuracy.
He surely is
Best ever in my opinion. Him and Buddy Rich.
Thomas, you never cease to amaze me and I'm always excited to see what you have for us next. An excellent performance. Thanks
World's best drumset performed by man with incredible level of confidence!
Best drummer on Earth!
From another planet...
Never thought I could jus listen to nothing but drums and be this entertained...This is Gift and skill
ONE of THE best I've seen!! AMAZING for sure.
Dudes a machine. 🤖🦿🦾🔋
This man have two or three brains... Because theres no other way to do this... It is absolutely insane.
Este hombre no deja de sorprenderme...pensé que había llegado a su techo baterístico...pero lo hizo otra vez, no sabes hasta donde puede llegar! Es increíble! Gracias por seguir siendo una sorpresa cada uno de tus videos! Felicitacion señor Lang!
Out freakin’ standing…. A generational drummer like NO other! Wow!
The man with 4 brain sections. So awesome!
The best drummer!
Thomas is on his own level. This is just off the charts. holy hell
Unsurpassed, fer sure. Perhaps incomparable. If better is out there, I've certainly not witnessed it. I truly LOVE, Sir, what you bring.
GO THOMAS !! BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!
I watch a lot of drummer vids and none of them have the sound and style of Thomas. This isn't a put down to the others, Thomas is just that amazing.
The beast coming at us with another one hell of a solo
This is really mind blowing. I'm unable to find the right word to convey my shock.
There is not another drummer in the world that can do what Thomas does with a Drum kit period!
Be real!!
Vinnie can do it.
Marco can do it.
A Machine.
Unbelievable!!! I could watch Thomas play all day long!!!
Alter, wie geil bitte ist das denn. Thomas ist einer meiner Helden. Er schafft es mich immer wieder zu überraschen und zu begeistern. Was für ein solo, 17 min Drumgasm.
Ok, I've had it.... I give up drumming, gonna switch to triangle.
😂
No one can stand up to the drums mastery of Mr. Thomas Lang......simply no one!!! My total respect and admiration always!!!
It feels like you’ve been able to make all the coordination-concepts even more musical and clean over the years. A joy to listen to this Thomas!
another dimension
I think this is the best drummer on the world!!!
Matt Garstka
@@danielhuycke3419srry dude but Thomas is on a whole different level😂
Even one of the greatest drummers on RUclips (El Estepario Siberiano) sees Thomas Lang and gets his face melted. Thomas Lang, you're a legend.
The man is an absolute phenom!
Now that we're here, what do we do with this power?
There will never be a better drummer
I think Buddy Rich could give him a run for the money
I know Neil Peart can
@@danielsisk2963 Peart never had this level of chops.
@@jasondonovan1408 Buddy Rich was a one trick pony. Lang and mangini would destroy him
Jazz drummer Nate Smith has chops but not like this.. maybe JD Beck will give him a run in 30 years lol
@@danielsisk2963Rich and Peart aren't even close to Lang in terms of skill.
Total and perfect control!!!! Amazing composer of drumming music!
Fantastic, simply fantastic
Nobody can even come close to this guy. Nobody.
mike mangini
@@tannerjack9520 Virgil Donati
Dave Weckl is pretty close.
I N S A N E. Alien. I don't know better words.
This is the greatest drumming I have ever heard in my life SHOCKING 🤯🤯🤯
Mr Lang doesn't stop, he just keeps getting better and better and better EVERY time he releases something new. So consistently fresh and innovative. Lang, Mangini and Minneman, the BEST in the world.
Does this inspire me to get better, or does this make me simply accept that I can never be this good and want to throw my drums in the trash?
YES
Seen him at a drum clinic..we got together the nxt week and started a drum bonfire..😂
The same thought crosses my mind all the time 😭
Let it inspire us to be as good as WE can ever be
Drumming is not a competition, that being said Thomas Lang wins.
I smiled the whole time, Lang is just the man🤙🏽
Wow man! This is what a legend sounds like.🙌
Say hello to limb independence.
When each of your limbs has its own brain,illegal Insanity occurs
Thomas Lang is a beast I love watching him play.
This guy's amazing. Great set,too.
That drumset had to smoke some cigarettes after that
LOL
Will Ferrell made the cowbell funny. Thomas Lang makes the cowbell badass.
When i am listening to you Thomas i want to sell my drum. Haha. At least I've been try. Life is unfair. I will never be able to achieve that level of playing. you are the best drummer that ever live. Thanks for sharing. Like you buddy.
Wow! I'm speechless 🤗🥁🎶
This makes me either want to practice twice as hard or just give up.
how could an instrument that seems so easy to play be so damn hard to play well ?
The only other guy I know who has anywhere near this independency is Mangini. I saw Him on tour with Vai and in the middle of the solo he was playing counter tempos. He was maintaining two separate tempos that had no relation. It was the weirdest thing to hear. Which ever bit you focussed on was in time but completely out of time with the counterpart. Most of the audience didn't realise and started booing him. But the ones who realised were cheering. Seeing this drum solo is as impressive. Thomas must completely compartmentalise chops and they are played at a subconscious level. It's the only way I can see that it is possible. Like talking and tying your shoelaces but 500 times more complicated.
that's called playing like shit and waiting for a guy like you to believe that.
There’s also Virgil donati
@@jwfabworks3141 i like his Planet X stuff
Simply a mythological being: half man, half drum!
From my love of rock turned into a love of heavy metal due to slipknot, which led me to a decent teacher who recommended practicing jaZZ, a clinic with Jim Chapin then Dom Famularo turned me on to drummers like Gadd, Weckl, Vinnie and then I bought Mr Langs Dvd way back in....2004? Something like that. And he's gotten better lol such an incredible talent. I am beyond humbled by skill like this
He is very techie bet he would kill in a marching band
This is why he's called the druminator😁
*Tominator lol
SO MUCH FUN THOMAS .LIKE A MODERN TRADIONAL DRUM SOLO . GOOD MAN TOM AND GOOD LUCK WITH EVERY THING YOU HIT
Frightening as always 🤘
Peak human preformance
I believe he has 1 brain for each limb.
Thomas '10 Brain" Lang....Unbelieveable, Man! Amazing solo.
A true drumming great. I love the fluidness of the double stroke rolls, and those octobans are stunning
His calves pay taxes!🦵🦵💰💰
