    What amazes me about Thomas, other than his chops, is how damn clean his playing is!
  • @TitouanDebray
    That independence is so ridiculous, Britain wants to vote on it.
  • @tobybell7413
    One of the best drum solos ever...very rhythmic and dynamic. His hand and foot speed are incredible!!!
  • @2ndAmndmnt
    No shit...Best solo I've ever seen. He was born to play the drums.
  • @st3ppenwolf
    This is frankly one of the most powerful drum solos I've ever seen.. astonishing
  • @stuhiggins6065
    I’ve watched this a thousand times and it never gets old. He’s the master of all drums
  • @joshraleigh6885
    All I can do is laugh when he does Paradiddles on the feet between like 4-5 pedals. Lol. Awesome.
  • @cvcsreview542
    It's almost like he splits himself into 2 people. The independence between footwork and hands is outstanding! I mean I love Steve smith, Dave weckl, Johnny rabb, Neil Peart, buddy rich, and many others. But Thomas Langs style and skill is definitely the hardest to master! Just insane. He could out drum me with his feet never mind his hands. He was gifted a drum talent! FACT
  • @T-Hawkeyes
    1:30 One handed, "1-trip-let, 2-trip-let, 3-trip-let" + In-ear adjust. . . Amazing.
  • @anthony22bob
    Effortless. Clean. Technically flawless. I'm glad there are people like Thomas in the music world.
  • @skipperry63
    This guy is unbelievable! There's nothing that he hasn't practiced. That's the best solo I've ever heard. It has something for every drummer.
  • @MrDlt123
    I see a lot of drum solos on YouTube and this guy's technique cant be beat.
  • I must say, I used to think that Thomas was just all technical ability and absolutely no groove or feel. I stand slightly corrected, his groove and feel are starting to come to form. He is a technical genius, master, he has his "Red Seal" in drumming so to speak but I always felt he lacked in the groove/feel department because he was always concerned with be so technically perfect. That has changed a bit and there was some definite feel and emotion in this solo. Well done Thomas.
  • @TobiAnimados
    I think this guy is being controlled by 4 different creatures or something, there is no other logic explanation, for such a great independence.
  • @mrhankey20
    Everytime I watch him play I'm like Bro, you've beat the game. It's over. There are no more levels or bosses left. Just the credits. What more do you want?
  • @scottieunome2
    There's drum solos...and then there's this. He is at another level untouched by most of us. Speed, independent, touch and feel. Incredible. Makes me wanna play more.
  • @drummershort
    So many great drummers. haven't heard of this guy till now, how can that be possible? super clean execution, what a badass.
  • In my opinion this is the best performance of Thomas Lang I have ever seen. He is one of my favorites to watch. Always impresses me.
  • @j-bird6563
    Thomas Lang's drum techniques are about the best I have ever seen and I've watched his other DVDs and they are unreal. I've been playing 28+ years and this guy is something else. Very precise and technical.
