  • Here is your opportunity to witness a 20 minute solo (almost 20), performed by one of the world's greatest drummers. An absolute monster and technician on the drums. The Las Vegas Drum Show was very fortunate and grateful to have Thomas be part of the show. Special thanks to the Las Vegas Drum Room, Meinl Cymbals, DW Drums, Vic Firth Drumsticks and Audix Microphones for making Thomas Lang's appearance possible. Enjoy....

    Thomas is a genius. He's taken drumming to an Olympic level.
    No doubt about that.

    Around the 17 minute mark where he speeds up his kicks while slowing down the snare rolls and then reverses slowing down the kick while speeding up the snare it just insane. He has ten brains. The entire performance is crazy good. Thomas is beyond bad ass. Phenom!

      @@robertkay9349 I can imagine. Mine was watching it on TH-cam. I’ve seen other performances of his where he has all four limbs going and plays different rhythms. He’s such a talent. I even enjoyed his Dream Theater audition. I think he would have been a more tasteful drummer than Mangini. Mike is technically amazing. But I’m more about hearing parts that work in the music. He tends to over play. Where Portnoy, I feel, was more musical. I think the same would be said for Lang.

    This might be the most impressive drum solo I've seen in the last 10 years. Full utilization of the kit, comprehensive flows, call back to previous sections to transition between groves, non stop energy. Thomas Lang stays impressive, god damn it feels good to be a drummer.

  • @MrPercussionPete

    I wonder how you can ever achieve such an alien level as Thomas has achieved. You'd think it would take a thousand years of practice to get to this level. I really think Thomas is a genius. Seriously. The Albert Einstein of drums. There was nobody before him who could play like this, and there will never be anybody who can play like this ever again, so we are witnessing a force of nature here. A one of a kind miracle. Truly amazing.

The bouncing of wooden sticks across stretched plastic skins on hollowed wood and acrylic cylinders and the banging out notes on hammered brass round sheets and the many foot pedals for assorted world percussion instruments and his ambidextrous limbs flying around from watching from above mind blowing again unbelievable the soul he speaks through his limbs and his heart he has been and continues to be bless and for us, an audio visual experience! 😊

    Thomas Lang is the most well-rounded drummer of all modern drummers. His independence is amazing. He has speed, he is dynamic, his foot control is unmatched.
    There are tons of great drummers which I love........ Dave Weckl, Gavin Harrison, Benny Greb, Todd Sucherman, Steve Smith, Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini, Dennis Chambers, Ray Luzier, Chris Coleman, Virgil Donatia and Aquiles Priester to name jus a few!

It's pretty interesting, and fun to watch..
