    Not sure who disliked this and all the negative comments but it’s obvious you don’t know drumming. This is an art and this performance here is one of the greatest masterpieces today performed by one of the greatest drummers on this planet!!! I’ve been watching Thomas for a long time now and have learned so much even after being a drummer for 30 plus years!!! Keep rocking big T!!! Feeling every second of your drumming such an inspiration!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

      Ppl are dumbasses. If it's not their favorite drummer and being that Thomas' skill is pretty much higher than ANYONE (and I'm a huge Donati and Mangini fan) there HAS be something for them to make up why he isn't as good as (fill in the blank) drummer.

      Mike B I agree 100%. Let me ask you. Ive tried to like Mike M. But after him pulling out that Drummers magazine during a crappy solo was IT!! The appitimy of the ego. Lets be totally honest. Since his time with DT. He gotten very lazy, doesnt even do many fills now, he just have up hard work. And everyone has noticed DM starting to fail often on stage. Even Petrucci is missing notes due to drumming not laying on top of him like with Portnoy. So Mike M. Allowed EGO to destroy DT. Who would have imagined this?? Well, many people warned them about his ego. But they said he knoes Mike P. And our song's. That'll go down as what caused DT to fail!!!! Answer: Mike Mangine. He's contributes nothing. Please listen to last show before getting defensive. Cheers.

      this is like a brain surgeon mopping the floors of the hospital up.
      total waste of TL's skills and imagination.
      I'm a drummer who simply refuses to play like this, b/c there are too many other drummers who can do it. I only like to play fun, creative,innovative drums that sound like no one else!
      Even cooler: I got a kid's drumkit and modded the fuck outta it (so everything is attached to the kick drum by cable ties etc!) and covered it in holographic tape....and I simply practice OUTDOORS all around society, from a walmart parking lot (we call this genre "Lot Rock" ha ha, when I jam with others outdoors) to near intersections to entertain ppl stuck at traffic lights for afew minutes! People of all walks go crazy for it, even thanking me for doing something different in this boring robot society. The other day a lady came up and gave me and my guitarist three 50 dollar bills! NOT BAD to get paid every day to learn your instrument, eh?
      EVERY musician should practice outdoors (in nice weather). it's paradise. and it's just a crazy bonus that lots of strangers will give me $20 bills to hear 1 minute of my creative drumming! AWWWW YEAHHHH!!
      (Every drummer who sees my more-efficient micro-kit [it even has a small glockenspiel attached to the kick!] has said "I want one!" b/c it takes me 30
      seconds to set up my drums (!!) and i made that kit sound yummy, and they all realize "WHY THE F have I been practicing in a basement or attic or rehearsal space?" Plus, everyone with eyes and ears sees / hears my music! They love the super-efficiency!)

Era un baterista top que llenaba de matices todos con sentidos especiales y golpes fantasma que parecía que no existían pero sin ellos las canciones no suenan igual. No pretendo bajar de nivel a Lang,es magnífico. Pero escuchar a grandisimos bateristas como Lang,magini,pornoy,etc. Me hacen saber la suerte que he tenido de haber disfrutado de para mí el mejor baterista de la historia. Patt Torpey.
