Drumeo loves daring drummers to learn songs on the spot - especially if it's in a style they don't normally play. International clinician Thomas Lang is one of the only pros we've challenged who really isn't confined to one or two genres: he plays everything from fusion to metal.

We asked him to learn "Lux Æterna" from Metallica's 2023 album 72 Seasons. As fast as possible.

(He'd never heard the song before, but we did let him listen to the original drum part to see if he could quickly replicate it!)

    Can we have just Thomas Lang narrate the drums with his "verbal drumming". Thats entertaining by itself 😂
  • @away69
    Dude must be a dream to work with, very professional, gets the song in 1-2 takes, but also seems to be a fun charismatic guy to be around. I say bring him on again!
  • @dudesidabe8243
    Please have him do this again. His energy is infectious, and his talent/experience is incredible.
  • @clsanchez77
    Honestly, Im more impressed with his “Hookachigga” than the drumming. Really nails it.
  • @mvanderwalt
    2:33 until 3:03 will now forever be my standard go-to meme of how drummers communicate. 😅🤣
  • @mfnuggy
    After seeing him throw a lead sheet together so quickly, I’d love a video explaining how to effectively create lead sheets and learn songs faster
  • @kbeeps141
    In case anyone forgot, this guy auditioned for Dream Theater. This is the equivalent of making Gordon Ramsay learn how to make a sandwich.
  • @aroimicaraffu
    Whats amazed me the most, it is not how fast he learned the song but how much fun he had playing it!
  • @ethanparr
    Man nailed his Dream Theater audition. Not surprised to see him kill this too. What a powerhouse.
  • @joshkuhnmusic
    Love how he adds his own flare without taking away from the song. True pro shit. Everyone knows how good Thomas is, but he wasn't showing off. Just serving the song.
  • @34LOLWTF
    I love the respect he showed to Lars. No bad mouthing, only compliments about the drum part.
  • @frozenheroe3771
    Thomas Lang is just built different. Absolutely love his energy and passion. This man knows how to have fun.
  • @aaronchapman3
    This guy is frickin awesome, truly great personality and drumming ability. Loved his appreciation of music and his complete lack of embarrassment regarding looking silly with the ooga boogas and whatnot. The world needs more people like Thomas Lang ❤
  • @wintyrqueen
    The coolest thing about this is how much fun he’s clearly having
  • As dream theatre said, Thomas is just a powerhouse! His energy and optimism is just going through the roof! I can watch this all day.
  • @pitpride1220
    His energy is so infectious! You can tell he had a blast and likes the song.
