  • chill.....

    you guys need to just enjoy the music, thats what real drumming is all about. keeping the beat for the songs, having fun, and creating awsome music. so just chill. who cares whos the best. everybody has their own opinion.

  • Dont forget

    Shannon Larkin may not be the best, but you can not deny his talent are style so all this stuff that Lang is better than Peart, well at showmanship, hell ya, but peart is a very creative artist when laying down a groove in song. I dont want to campare apples to oeranges, I say lets let all 3 of these ARTISTS entertain us all in there own creative way. I have been drumming from age 13

  • Are you serious?

    Anyone who is critical of this man needs to be burned alive. Have you seen the how complex this drummer is? He is having fun here, hence the flipping of sticks. If you know of anyone who is better than this man, please, fuckin let me know. Without it being your fav drummer. Fuckin Lars Olrich. I am fuckin better than him. Seriously, if anyone can say Lars is better than this guy and actually mean it then they need a slap. Watch his other tutorial videos for a real look at this guy. Best drummer ever in my opinion. F**k Buddy Rich or any old drummers, there is nothing they can do which Thomas Lang can't, and F**k the 'Soul' for your instrument, this guy has it, thats just an excuse for people saying older musicians are better. 'They got into their instrument more'. How?? Fuckin wake up criticisers!

    Lars Ulrich is much better than him... if you have watch the drum solo on the "San Diego" dvd...

  • best in the world

    the best in the world, and to the guy below me, record sales have nothing to do with the talent of the drummer. look at metallica, lars ulrich is not that great, but he was a part of one of the biggest if not the biggest band in history. i would recommend you buy thomas lang's dvd creative control and then compare him to neil peart. dont get me wrong, neil peart is amazing and one of the best but in my opinion thomas lang blows him out of the water.

  • Gotta give it to him....

    This guy is good, but not even close to Neal Peart. Not only does the music of RUSH revolve around Neal's superior percussion skills but he has also written the majority of lyrics produced by the group. Many of these lyrics have been studied in english & literary classes for their thoughtfulness & poetic content. Proof is in the pudding .... or rather in this case ..... record sales .... Rush RULES!!!

    • you are wrong

      so what Peart wrote all the lyrics, that dont make him a better drummer, just a better song writer- maybe-. I have seen a S**t load of Pearts solo's, 4 the record I have Rush's DVD Live in RIO, R30, Dvd's of the past video's

  • Amazing chops!

    I am a drummer and have been for 15 years. NEVER have I seen anyone play a set quite like that.

    One thing I really enjoy is listening to someone who can incorporate all their equipment into a good drum solo. Now, on a side note, I am not into all the flashy stick twirling. I can barely do it to begin with, and if you can do that and still keep the solo going, you are better than I am.

    I have always been the kind of drummer that keeps the beat steady, locked down with the bass guitar, and stayed out of the limelight. But to those of you that can shine on...keep it going. I love all types of drummers and each has thier own style. Don't knock on one drummers particular style.

    as for the comment about Neil Peart. As far as showman ship goes, this guy has Peart hands down...and I am a big fan of him. But, musical creativity, Neil has more creativity in his little finger than I have in my whole body.

  • GREAT CHOPS!

    REALLY nice integration of drum corps routine into a drum set solo and great drumset chops. I would not agree that he is one of the top 5 drummers - but he's GOOD! Check out a good drum corps if you have the chance and you will see a lot of the same techniques.

    • No Idea

      Clearly you speak as a fan of Neil Pert, having no actual idea of drumming and the difference between 'show drumming' and playing to a song. YOU ARE NUTS if you think Neil Pert could hold a candle to this guy. You have herd but a snippet of what this guy is capable of. I have his DVD and believe me I have heard Neil Pert, I can do Neil I couldn't even get past the warm up exercises this guy does...Little Drummer Boy

    • sorry

      have you actually taken a musically enhanced listen to the percusion of neil peart, thomas lang is talented with such things as this stick twirling S**t that everyone loves,but please, when you are gonna bring neil peart into this conversation have respect, not only has neil peart been instructing and influencing all the pros out there today his experience in such things as percussion is musically genius, from switching timmings and key signatures in the middle of songs and having the song tottaly rotate around his amazing abilities is clearly something to be recognized, i would also like to say that with this guys abilities were acheived over 30 years of drumming being taught half his career,in Sticktricks and showmanship, i have seen many drummers do this and there equally as impressive, all anyone has to do is take 15 years lessons in Sticktricks and showmanship and will be able to hold a candle to this man, thank you and goodnight...OH and you cant do neil peart, mayb in ur dreams

  • Very good drum solo

    Being a former drummer, and guitarist from the good ole rock and roll days, I found this performance to be qute good. This is freestyle drumming at its best.

    I can see that he's an amazing drummer, but there was not beat to this. He was just hitting everything he could with.

      there was a beat man,plus you can make your own beat inside his piece,it was just open!

      Yeah, because you're a rhythm expert and know how a drum solo should be played properly. Go back to watching MTV, dumbass.

    • Idiot??

      Everyone has a different taste in music. I just did not hear any beat in that. You don't have to be so rude when someone explains their thoughts on here. I've have listened to this piece a couple more times, and I know he's a good drummer. I just thought there would be more.

      I expectd way more from this video I didn't like it very much.There was no point to it, atleast not one that was very good.

    • Rythem sence

      I just think you guy dont have a good rythem sence as someone else. I play drums myself and could follow him all the way through.
      some have good rythem sence, some has less, and some has nothing at all. It's ok.

      By the way i liked it very much.

  • *Good Drummer*

    but then those who play instruments in a band will be a lot longer remembered then those "rap" artists of today who wouldn't know a musical equipment if they fell over it.

    • True, but what has 'Rap' Artists got to ...

      Yeah, great drummer, but why the comparison to 'Rap'. Completely different genre, it seems you do not like 'rap' but the majority of music purchasers purchase 'Rap' music. Most of tmake a good living from 'Rap artists make a very very good living from this, and so do the record companies. And more importantly how do we know what these 'rap' artists can do or not do without really knowing them?

      but was trying to state that many artists in today's music do not play instruments in their music video's and I think it's a shame.

    • Drummer

      Hi Aussie Vixen,

      Your comment was probably very true in a lot of cases, and yes, as much as I love my Rap/HipHop music, nothing beats a person actually playing an instrument live. I suppose I have room for both in my life right now!! JAY xxx

  • Cool

    Man, you're pretty sick with the drumming, but if you could have held that beat between 40.45 seconds, it would have sounded a lot cooler. At a certain point it seemed like you were struggling to get a beat.
