- Well, here it is! Since my recent stream on Drum Channel many of you have been asking about this specific drum set configuration. many of you wanted to see details of this kit so here it is. The right HiHat is mounted on the kick drum, the pedals are MCD chain drive pedals, the HiHats are both direct drive. Both Toms are also snares, or the snares are toms...however you want to look at it. Rata Tom and Concert Bass drum to the left of the left HiHat. Cowbell played with the left foot and muffle rings, leather hoops, old-school kick drum beaters and a Nickel over Brass main snare. Lots of reading material for all drum nerds like myself!
Thomas is so passionate and charming when talking about his drums.
Thomas is one of the few drummers that a tour around his set is a small concert with "secret tips" thrown in. What an amazing talent Mr. Lang is. I have to admit I watch all of his videos at least twice and I always hear or see something new the 2nd round.
Wow!!! I've never thought of muffling the second stroke while playing doubles on the cowbell. This is enlightening. Thank you Mr Thomas as always for your continued inspiration. Love from Nigeria.
I wish every drummer could experiment the ways you do. You’re amazing and that kit is awesome!
Every couple of years I find new inspiring content coming from your drumming developments.
Thanks for sharing your passion and ideas the way you do! 🍻
So locker und präzise… sehr elegant.
How lucky we are to have this guy and the internet in our musical lives
Chris “ Daddy “ Dave comes to my mind who also has all Snare Drums on his kit first and foremost!🎼
Exactly just was finna say that
There are good drummers, great drummers and Thomas Lang. Thank god for TH-cam.
I love that Thomas explores all the possibilities of drumming, out of the box thinking but maintaining the essentials of great drumming. Not forgetting to mention the way he explains everything. He makes learning exciting and easily understood.
Thanks Mattie!
Top of the mountain, top tier drummer! Best theirs ever been! What a genius mad scientist of a drummer! God bless Thomas Lang!!!!
Possibly the nicest sounding collection of cymbals I have ever heard.
Those cymbal sounds incredible. Meinl must crap their pants daily to be fortunate enough to sponsor the great TL.
That 20 X 18 is just ball rattling, love the whole kit...
Continually expanding the realms of possibilities with drums and percussion. Nothing is ever off the table. Thomas could hit a series of dustbin lids and make them sound like they are worth thousands of pounds. His ingenuity, imagination and technical ability knows no boundaries. Absolutely outstanding musician and a talent that that you may only see a few times in a generation. Hes devoted his life to the art and whilst there are many outstanding drummers out there covering many genres, I never tire of listening to Thomas and always look forward to what hes going to come up with next. I will never ever reach his level, and Im not being a defeatist at all because I know my limits, but he does inspire me to at least be the very best that I can be. He is a incredible musician ..... or should we say .... "magician" within the art?
We need The All Kick Kit™️ next 🤩
Entertaining tour through the kit and short demos in between to die for 😃🤘🤘
I love the sympathetic snare buzz constantly happening while talking 😂
This whole video makes me happy. Super interesting setup, but I think the most enjoyable part of it is to see how happy Thomas seems when he's playing. A cool fish in the right waters. Thank you so much!
I love when he goes on these really long jamming tangents between describing each piece 😆
That’s one insane kit. He’s always been my favorite drummer and I regard him as the best really.
Thank you for your professional, clear, on-point presentation, mixed with your chilled, always humorous nature, very inspiring and informative, you really found your equipment that fits your style and strengthen your sound. An austrian master in America !!
Vielen Dank!
A lesson in playing with dynamics and at the same time a pure joy watching a master of drums. And you make it looks so easy!
Random TH-cam suggestion. Damn, this dude is insane! Definitely diving into his other videos.
Have fun down the rabbit hole, Thomas Lang is one of the greatest drummers of the last 20 years.
No disrespect to Dave Grohl, for he's one of my favorite musicians, but I get so sick of people saying he's the best drummer in the world. I'm pretty sure he'd agree that he's a great drummer a world class song writer, but he's got nothing on Thomas. Get a clue. I live with a pair of drumsticks in arms reach always, and I just hope I become half of what this guy is on the drums!
@Topjunkieno disrespect to him , but yep!
Every time I watch TL play, Just makes me smile ear to ear. Such a creative & innovative world class drummer/musician. Thanks for the upload 😀
I could watch those videos all day long. Drumporn of the highest order
Wow! Thanks for the tour! And the mini lessons that came along with it. Your are truly inspirational - thanks Thomas!
Great Rig Run Down!!! Love it!!!
Thomas is very informative and instructional on his technique and equipment. A very entertaining discussion.
Thomas Lang is a pure genius.
wow those drum snippets are perfect for adding some music on top! I'm gonna try that.
Such a machine, always impressed.
That is a really cool kit. Way outside the box.
I love the thoughtful/methodical approach to how you setup and use your instrument. Well done.
SO much awesomeness in this video!! Thank-you Thomas(and Chris)!
Our pleasure!
Thomas Lang you are my favorite drummer you have the most creative stile of anyone else, your the kind that would go to a junkyard with a pocket full of drumsticks & experiment till you brake all the sticks
I always appreciate how creative you are when it comes to your setup, a real inspiration
I like how he gets lost in the joy of playing while doing a "kit tour" 😆
16:40 LMAO. Demos his ride with absolutely *flawless* push/pull technique.
This guy’s an animal.
Conga snare! I love it 😁 Thanks for sharing Thomas
I like how he thinks the gong drum is his “secret weapon”
You're always coming up with fresh stuff... very inspiring!!
Without doubt one of the greats
Hey Thomas, you are a killer👺 I love listening to your drum playing🤘
Ghost notes at 10:20 is just stellar. Love the 6". Excellent
Immer wieder neue coole Ideen. Mega😀👍👍👍🥁
LOL at the audio when the camera operator was under the snares, Thomas sounded like a drive-thru speaker.
I’ve incorporated many of the same concepts on my drum sets, except without the same resources, or anywhere near the chops. The rhythmic journey is so much fun.
Is simply funny to come up with all the different contrasts that result from the different kinds of drums.
What a treat, totally amazing!
Mate!!! Your Rata Tom and concert bass drum grooves!! WOW
Massive respect for your talent and fresh approach to drumming. Thankyou.
Awesome !! I always watch your videos teacher Thomas lang. I learn a lot with your techniques... Greetings from Lima-Peru
The cymbals are all "mine all" ;-) Greets Thomas - from Austria!
Too much greatness, can hardly handle it. GOAT.
AWESOME Tom!!! Wish I could spend a year with you mate!! Sort my playing right out!!! 👊🏻👊🏻
Wow. Incredible sound. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Lang!
This feels like a kit that is built from the ground up for grooving in the pocket. This is not a fills/chops kit. Super cool. THIS is the drumming I love to see and hear.
🧢
Hummmmm ... I see a Yamaha Phoenix .. Gorgeous !!
Love the sound of that bell hi hat with the pedal
Playing legendary timing out of this world!!!
Your solo at the 2020 modern drummer festival ranked #2 of all time only to Buddy Riches famous heart attack solo
Thanks again for another gear run down...
And some "food" for thought.... 🥁
That dark high hat killed my grandfather in WW2.
When Luftwaffe went full auto.
creativity to the max.
Love it Thomas! Always a fresh approach!
Thomas Lang is just something else!
Thomas equals legend 🥁🥁
I thought that was fantastic Thomas Lane you're my favorite very creative and I love that thanks again bless you
He is just like "yeah so I added this piece to the set" *proceed to blow your fucking brain with an extremely high precision, fast and tight drum solo you cannot even comprehend what is he hitting or where did it came from*
Thomas is the best drummer in the world. Vinnie is amazing, too.
¿Haven't thought about having a definitive drum and cymbal setup for the rest of your career that expresses your personal sound? You are one of the most chameleon drummers for permanently changing kits.
How I like clever drummers
The Man.
Dream kit
Always 'Evolving' Herr Kommissar ;-)
Imagine if he just made a kit with concert bass drums.
just love all of this!
Ayyye, love a good drum kit tour.
I call this the Chris Dave setup
Batera mais ninja que já vi! Fodaaa!🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Freaken cool Thomas 👍
Awesome.
The curse of my dw collectors series is the lugs going loose on the kick!
Nice snare drum!
Hi Thomas, I've watched your creative control video since a long time ago and I was so looking forward to buying the same practice pads that you had- called the Remo Thomas Lang Practice kit. RP-1200 when I could afford it.
Now that I possibly could, I was wondering if you would ever release another variant of that practice pad kit.
I've been working on that idea for several years now and yes, I would like to revisit the original design and even tweak/ improve it some more. I will post all about it when it is ready to be released.
Legend
But, didn’t you like banging around on Simon Phillips set with all of those different voices and colors of sound?
Total badass
This looks so fun. I want to see Clay Aeschliman on this set up.
Small snare sounds triggered with that muffling
So Thomas is selling his big kit underneath that black cloth :-)
Hi Thomas!
Fantastic playing as always 🙌
Any insight or advice you could give to why you chose the MCD over the MDD's? Do they play or feel very similar to the 9000 pedal aside from the perforated foot board?
Or if anyone wouldn't mind chiming in; I have a 9000, and would love to try a MDD or MCD if it'd be a worthy upgrade, but my local music shops don't have any to play or demo.
Big fan and looked up to you and your drumming for 10+ years now, thanks for all you do! 🙏
Still cant wrap my head around why they chose Mangini over Lang in DreamTheater
Great drummer weird drum setups 👍
This actually makes so much sense just throw the snare wire off and you have a normal kit
Gorgeos Lang and Gorgeos set !!!
What brand and size sticks do you normally use , they look huge and beefy, been watching your videos for a while , your are an awesome drummer, keep up the great content, and keep playing, stay safe 👍
I use the Vic Firth Thomas Lang Signature model. Thanks Ken!
Could you put snares on the bass drum?
That floor/bass drum with only top skin sounds awesome.
