      In his totally astonishing drum-clinic for Drumeo he stated that the feet should do whatever the hands can do - then he went on to prove it. Eating a Chinese takeaway later though was not a pretty sight.

    Hey Andrew! Enjoyed the video, quick tip - instead of clicking pause randomly to get the frame you want, CZcams has a couple of keys you can use when paused;
    Comma "," will move one frame back
    Period "." will move one frame ahead!

    Me and my buddy Benji went to Adams Drumworld Festival a couple of years ago. Outside there was this tall bloke (I'm 1.94m myself) who greeted us with a big smile. It took us a couple of seconds to process that Thomas Lang just greeted us 😂😂.
    We felt like Kings, and his performance on stage was amazing!

    The problem for me when listening to TL, is I really do want to quit. He’s so precise and perfect it hurts. Watch him do a simple snare roll, and the perfection of the rebound hit melts my brain.

      @linusmorgenstern3476 Před rokem +6

      Exactly. Some stuff from other legends like mangini, portnoy etc. is like: "well, maybe I can play this stuff one day if I only practice hard enough." Hearing stuff from Thomas is like: "Oh, guitar is an interesting Instrument too, Oh wait, thomas play guitar too? Well I should sell everything what reminds me to making music...". This hard as hell polyrhtms are the final boss.
