- Thomas Lang playing the song "Time" from his new solo-album "ProgPop" (available on iTunes and CD Baby) featuring Marc Bonilla on vocals and guitar. The drum part consists of different patterns layered on top of each other to represent cogs in a clock, different cycles that all spin together at different rates but always in perfect sync.

His brain has brains

😂😂😭😭
His foot has brains
@@bayuadiw8370 his foot's brain has brains
@@bayuadiw8370 it’s like an octopus
When people get to Area 51, Thomas Lang will open the door
Enrique Solórzano Toledo THE BEST COMMENT
Pensei a mesma coisa...rsrs
Thats fuckin Awesome!
BAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
I believe this!
It seems very difficult but in reality it's just almost impossible
Part of that is his setup, too.
When you break it down, the individual parts are really easy.... Playing them all together is the hard part!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@IvanHuntDrum You just have to go slow. That's how you get good at anything that may seem daunting. Not discrediting anything here, just pointing that out. I have some Thomas Lang-ish videos on my channel, maybe they'll help out. :)
@Sam Bührer Who are you speaking to? If me, I have two or three videos where l am doing Thomas Lang-like stuff. I guess you weren't referencing me, though.
The average person has no idea how ridiculously difficult this is.
True lol
True. I think he continues to get better as we all should be striving to do. Maybe he is on the way to becoming one of the greats like Neil Peart.
Shut up
But actual musicians are yawning…
@@hansoloist9756 No. Actual musicians whether they play percussion or not understand and have a massive amount of respect for this
Well, that looks very easy....
.....for him. For the rest of us mortals it's as hard as unraveling the mystery of life. Just amazing!
Funny enough I've never seen a Thomas Lang drum cover :P
I think we should ask him to sell one as part of his merch. I'll put it over my drums.
Then I can say "I've a Thomas Lang drum cover."
Check out Baard Kolstad - amazing drummer, who also covered one of Thomas' songs.
I’m going to set my kit aflame and dance round it to honour the Lord of the Left Foot, Thomasus.
LOL!
It is very easy to look at drummers like Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl, Buddy Rich, etc. and be discouraged. Some people are born prodigies. From musicians to mathematicians. The key is to keep practicing, Although, because of gifting there are so many musicians that will never achieve their level of perfection.
@@davidhayes3492 Well said.
All hail Thomausus
As is only fitting
Watching this guy play is like water flowing down a stream. So effortless. Amazing drummer and a master.
Exactly.
He’s actually a master at keyboards and other instruments too 🤯🤯🥶🥶
That is what dedication to your craft earns you. He is the living embodiment of hard work - his musicianship is incredible, and look at how well built he is. He could be Arnold Schwarzenegger's brother or something!
Each of Thomas Lang's limbs has its own brain
check out virgil, hes an alien!!!
@KJV1611 if you have seen him live as I have and to see him separate different time signatures between all 4 limbs then you know what I am talking about NOONE can do it like virgil, to play 2 different time signatures on 2 sides of the body at the same time and then swap them over to the other side of the body and then bring them together is almost impossible for anyone else and to have him explain it and to have the sheet music infront of you and try and understand it is mind boggling difficult, yet he pulls it off like he isn't even trying
this is actually a very good description of Thomas's talent.....each limb has its own brain...
That would explain A LOT!!
@@lincthomas7178 Thomas and Virgil are on the same level.
It’s like comparing Lamborghini and Ferrari. It’s really just preference, at this point.
Much respect to both!!
Me: What's your favorite beat or fill?
Thomas: Yes
hahahahahaha
Non e’ un uomo: e’ una locomotiva, non credo siafacile questa tecnica
Looooool
😂 😂
The fact that you seem to put accents in the doublebass parts is just insane. respect
Lang is superhuman 🤟🏼
God is good!!!!
watch?v=QtIUyPukSTM
he doesent seem to. he does
@@grbgeslnger24 not from this world. It must be an other Austria where he is originally from. The living Legend T.Lang. much respect!
Ok. So, um. Hmmm. That's not human. There is 4 brains operating this robot.
Amazing
Still to this day my favorite drummer of all time. Hes not just a drummer. He is a percussionist.
Thomas si GOD
He is outstanding!
Favourite*
The muscle memory plus control + speed+timing+groove+fills+chops= THOMAS LANG.....🤘
Yeah, that's what happen when you are extremely talented, intelligent and fully dedicated to music your whole life. There are only very few musicians in the world on this level.
I still feel sad that Dream Theater didn't pick him (because it is my most favourite band, except the last three albums), but I am not really sure if he would be happy in that band. According to what Thomas plays he likes a little bit different genre.
Not to,mention, he doesn’t seem to slip into cliche’ or predictable drumming. I’m very impressed.
@@JirkaMichalik DT definitely would not have been a good fit for him. A man of this caliber should never be constrained to a limiting project like DT. Mangini, on the other hand, is a perfect fit for DT because of his personality and attitude.
I’d say Mike was the only one that could play with them well enough and even wanted to be in DT. Thomas didn’t even want to be there but he just felt bad for Portnoy and auditioned to cushion portnoy’s concerns if DT would fail without him
Hahahaha mangini kick lang ass anytime. DT is much better than any Lang project!!!
When you have finished the game with all the secondary missions and you have everything maxed out so you just out randomly chillin
Man, I'm not a huge prog fan, but thats gotta be one of the sickest prog drum grooves I've ever heard
The world is definitely a better place with Thomas Lang in it!!!
Just the fact that you have a quarter size worn part from the coating on the snare head shows how consistent you, I am blow away man!
I have difficulty just walking and chewing gum at the same time. My brain would ooze out my ear if I tried to play this.
Idk, I've been hesitant for the longest time, in having a favorite drummer...with so many greats out there, old and new, but god damn, if I wouldn't name you as my current favorite. Jesus, nothing of what you do is simple, but that shit you are doing with your left foot, takes some extreme coordination. Love watching these vids pop up in my feed. Top notch playing. Thank you.
Thomas is nothing short of excellent. He can do the sickest stuff AND as you've seen, make it groove, too. It's not just complex to be complex. Everything he does, he does for a reason. I'm always interested to see what he's gonna do next. Maybe something with flam drags?
Thats gotta be one the funkiest/coolest grooves ive heard in ages dude
Precision, accuracy, focus, consistency, creative,...and still musical and flow!! Man you ROCK!
His pedal work is beyond impressive. I frequently return to this video for a dose of "holy s**t". The song is very unique, too.
Awesome Thomas! I guess if you get more limb independence there will soon be 4 of you :D
Yeeeeee jackjack happens
Okay, this was the moment ALL other drummers dropped one notch, to allow this guy as #1.
All I can say is 51 years of my drumming just went down the sink.
Man Thomas, that is some fancy footwork! Love the double bass beats.
Alex ikr
I could easily play this......... with two extra arms, an extra leg, and a secondary brain. Challenge me next time.
Thomas Lang Actually It's The Most Hyper-Technic And Open Mind Drummer In The World !!!
Number 1 drummer in the world. Don’t argue it. Nobody else can play what he can play as good as he does but he can play what everyone else can.
There are some ridiculously good drummers out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually right.
Absolutely agreed.
Drum kit for sale. Current owner gave up after watching this video. Make offer.
Adam Brown $2.00
How many drums does it come with and does it come with cymbal/hardware?
Whaaaaaaaahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guitar player here doing the same with my 37 guitars I mean what's the point after seeing this guitars for sale cheap
@Adam Brown - Nooo! Be inspired instead! :-))
Holy shit rarely see a drummer play dynamic on the bass drum. Most drummer only even care about dynamic in their arms
Mind blowing! That’s taking drumming to the next level! Oh no, that’s right, it’s Thomas Lang! 🤘🤘He’s always next level 🤘🤘
Love how Thomas plays the double bass pattern matching with the backing vocals. It is the technicalities that sets him apart but little things like these adds flare to song 😍
Smooth as silk! Beautiful arrangements of fills and independence.
No one masters the feet as good as he does, no one.
I would say Marco Tecza is close! He's working on some incredible control, with dynamic accents in 32nd rolls, double kick flams, collapsed rudiments, the likes. Really pushing the bar on triggerless, LOW SPRING TENSION, clean foot work
Don't care much for the style of music tbh, but this drummer must be from another world.
I always love listening and watching you play Thomas. Those rata toms sound divine, as does that dark ride. Those sticks look a little heavy :)
Druminator - Thomas has been sent back through time from the future with a mission - through creating awesome, yet demotivational videos, make all humans give up drumming. I don't have any other explanation for how it is humanly possible to play such a complex groove so consistently. And that drum solo part at 4:26....damn. :)
He would have been wasted in Dream Theater. After Mike Portnoy left, DT became the Ruddess and Petrucci show. Poor Mangini style was murdered.
I can easily play what Thomas' right hand plays
with my 4 limbs
If you don't love this, you're not a drummer. I love the left foot playing 3 pedals simultaneously and the setup for it. GREAT!!!
ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!
Top demais essa coordenação
e a bateria também é show
Would love to see Thomas in King Crimson, even if just for an album.
Why gavin is a better drummer by a Longshot
@@neilmaccannell6778 Well, TL has a LOT more SKILL than GH... and I might argue that TL (when he's being CREATIVE, which isn't always) is MORE clever than GH. (I dislike that both of them lack the PASSION / WILDNESS I want in my drummers. TL has the chops of a Billy Cobham, but NOT THE FIRE>)
And then even Fripp ha done some nasty poop in the past.
Remember his venture with Andy?
I dare internet drummers to cover this song.
This boy figured out how to market himself . . . beyond drumming. Outstanding brother, outstanding.
He sits in a place with no competitor. Nobody else plays like he does. Not saying he's better, just so unique.
@@KONAMAN100 He's certainly better than me. :D
Brave new beats! Never clicked a 'buy' button so fast :-)
Awesome pop song with advanced independence, double bass chops & drum solo!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙
(purewaterization) Too creative for a pop song tbh.
@@warrenoids That's why it's a prog pop.
@@JirkaMichalik lol. Just replying to the threadmaker.
Greetings from south tirol😍🤘🤘🤘
We want to practice all variations and permutations, we don't like that semi knowledge.
Here's a perfect example of why.
Who the hell applies dynamics to bass drums like this?!
Being a viruoso is one thing, but being supremely musical is a whole other thing.
Lang is a master of making super complex drums easy to listen to and extremely catchy.
A drummer and percussionist in one....More work, but cheaper for a bandleader to hire,hahahaha//;) Great job Thomas!!!!
I am moved to hear and see him; very young, he was the drummer of the austrian (like him) singer Falco dead in 1998😎. I see regurarly on You Tube the gig of the Donauinselfest of Vienna (June 1993), a legendary moment. We see the happiness of Thomas Lang and Falco in front of the crowd. The last big concert of Falco...😪💜🙋♀️🇲🇫
I love this tune, and the drum part is mental! Playing those layered grooves so smoothly and making them feeling that deep is a lifetime of work. More practice for me! Thanks for the inspiration as always Thomas... can’t wait to get the rest of the album
I like how hes playing Bleed in the chorus' hah. Thomas makes me feel uncomfortable how good he is. Yikes. Indeed an alien. \m/
I mean, it's Thomas lang. what did you expect? the drumminator is back. Well done my friend
THE DRUMINATOR
@@dumpygoodness4086 yeah, that's what i meant
FIRE THE SINGER....( yawn )....lol. Horrible vocals. NOTE : Too much drums in a song with hundreds of fills ruins it. I'm sorry.......its a NO from me. NEXT !!!
“Hey Thomas what are your left kick pedals used for?”
“Yes!”
my friend sent me this, watched my live reaction "pause when you need to" not once i was just amazed like, uuhhh foot work 1, 2 like does this man have drummer ultra instinct and 3 were did you find this guy and why dont i know? i've listen to this like 60 times in the last day the beat is just mesmerizing
................ .......
Well, I guess that's it. Thats the height of amazing drumming that ill never reach
Jeez
I'm glad he rides a motorcycle from the Terminator movie🤔?🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...
When you genuinely embrace doing what you love, nothing can take the bliss that love brings you away. That's what Thomas Lang and so many other incredible creatures on this planet do.
Producer: Ok Thom, we just want a straight-4 beat, something simple to give the vocals a place to breathe.
Thomas: I'll play as simple as I can
Your drumming never ceases to amaze me 😍
His brain is not as ordinary as ours ones...😂😂 I think nature gave him a superior capability of learning different coordination. His muscles have the strength for keeping time at any speed and maintain it for any time he wants. It's not just studying a lot of time, there are lots of drummer who studied for a really really long time but they can't reach him. He has studied (and he studies) very hard, but there are natural qualities that a very few people have.
The best drummer of the worl. Amazing.
dream theater didnt took him because everyone of these egomaniac were scared of this guy unhuman talent and humility! he’s just to awesome to play in such a jerk band!
Insane coordination
He's like the Steve Vai of drums. An incredible technical musician but his music has no soul.
And why’s that? Just because it isn’t straight forward 4 on the floor groove? This is musical as fuck.
@@KodieGregory It's a horrible noise played beautifuly.
Most People "I wanna be the best!" Thomas "No."
Wow amazing technique of drumming..but fill in the snare too boring and monoton..btw nice video Thomas..!!
Toma tu like buen hombre!
OMG. That solo tho. So intricate/tasty/musical. Somehow HOLDS the GROOVE while going completely off the rails. My mere mortal mind cannot comprehend. This is magical and transcendent. TL is a legend among the true greats. Much love!
This is insane 😟
That coordination is amazing!!!
My favourite drummer. His mastery of the drums is well beyond amazing. Why is Thomas Lang never in the lists of the world's best drummers. He should be in the top 5 of any list .
Ouh yeah!! Amazing track!
3:46 Limp Bizkit's "It'll Be OK" 3-13
Awesome as always
This is what an octopus would sound like if it could play drums!!!!!
He needs to work on his independence.
WOW... vc é foda cara !!!!!
Que gravação excepcional !!!!
WOW ... you're fucking man !!!!!
What an exceptional recording !!!!
👍👏🏻🤟🏻🥁
and with this skills he played for people who would have easily got away with a drum computer
In my opinion he is better than Mike Mangini from what I've seen so far from both!
Why haven't DT taken him?
Because Mangini was a better fit. Lang is an EXCELLENT drummer, but Mangini's fit was decidedly better to DT.
@@OfficialDreamTheater True, as cool as DT is, I really felt like they would have held back Thomas Lang.
@@lonewolf604 I don't think Thomas Lang would be a good fit anyway. He's not much of a metal player, but more like prog pop, etc.
TheDrummingXbox360
Yes, maybe!
Probably because he has not much of ideas on off beat measures, although he was/is an amazing drummer. On the other hand, off measures are child play for Mike Mangini.
There is no better drummer on the planet than Thomas. He’s in his on league.
The most complete drummer in the world right now!
Amazing performance!
Panos Geo nah, virgil d
Thomas Lang eats Virgil Donati for breakfast dude. No way he's better.
Nobody eats anybody for breakfast at this level. They are both incredible drummers who can play pretty much anything.
At that point it's all about personal taste, and I happen to prefer Thomas Lang to everybody I've ever heard of.
Joseph Nichols pfff snob
@@valentinamenesesgaleano3705 nice piano fortississimo but you misspelled "sir".😜
He’s like an octopus 🐙
The most ambidextrous man on earth.. human machine. all time best... between him and Donati very similar styles, two monster players.
Thomas, this is so impressive!!! Ja bist du deppad... :-) To me the Octobans could be louder in the mix? I love their sound and how you adapt them to your grooves! Always super motivating to see you drumming :)
Best drummer in the world. Period.
No…
@@luciusverus4886 Need a name then! Ever since then, still think the same.
@@Legnica148 there are a few great drummers .. Thomas Lang is technically amazing… but the ring that makes you even better , is personality, charisma etc.. Tools drummer is great.. and others
@@luciusverus4886 I very much love Danny Carey! But he's miles miles away from someone like Thomas Lang. And about what you said, in your logic then we can say even Travis Barker is great etc... Yes he fits his band. But for comparison sake, the only thing we can compare is technique. Taste is not comparable. Then, Thomas Lang imo is top one.
@@Legnica148 I respect your opinion..
awesome song, please show us the lyrics lol
First
Thomas Lang tuyệt vời!
Impressive show of independence, but not very rythmical on the bass drums and timbals... Nevertheless super nicely done and creative..
Allan J. You are an IDIOT!!!
Wow this dude is AMAZING. He left me around the 4:30 mark like wtf was even doin lol. I'm glad I discovered this guy about 15 min ago tho, I'm hooked to his drumming. BTW SWEET ASS SONG
Insane, Thomas you're the most skillful drummer I've ever seen in my life.
Q: So, are you a left-handed or right-handed drummer?
A: Yes.
185 dislikes are either deaf or die hard fans of Lars Ulrich!
Thomas must've grown extension brains on both of his extremities. Amazing!
Technically perfect...but somehow the overall musical result leaves me cold....there is technical incredible playing; but I can't find it's soul.
The song is awful but the playing is superb.
