what i love about thomas is that he is never trying to impress you. he is always singularly trying to impress himself by challenging himself and taking everything he does to another level. This quality even by itself could be the reason you are now watching a thomas pridgen video on youtube.

[@hugorezende199]

archologyzero yeah! He is always testing himself! Thats awesome. Its a Live practice.

[@kipperfeast]

Exactly. Well put.

[@RahulSharma-wf4no]

True

[@joedessauer]

best DW9000 advert ever

[@jarrahdrum]

He’s not afraid to take chances and push himself to the edge. Love it

[@WTFpetete]

He gave me his drumstick and i can't stop watching this video...simply amazing :D

[@ant_6.2_SS]

WTFpetete can I have it?

[@jcmatias]

the god of the single kick

[@valuablesandwich]

wonderful that he opens the solo with 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon

[@anthonymabe3961]

Gotta love this young man's passion

[@GeorgiDudovski]

[@bunkerdrum]

[@RahulSharma-wf4no]

Legend

[@whateverman666]

Before watching the clip (and knowing both Gadd and Pridgen's styles), I thought "WTF is he talking about", and was gonna rag on your for it. Luckily, I stopped myself and watched the video first - and you totally nailed it. This solo is both Gadd and Pridgen in equal portions. Kudos!

[@eastCoastBigBobby72]

wow...............hey tom,u are my new favorite drummer that takes it to the house

[@sambajane]

try and tap the pulse to this whole video and you'll recognize the genius here

[@drummerpike1234]

[@shadetx713]

So Steve Gaddddish LOL love THOMAS

[@tdrum21]

like the flam groove with the hi hat foot round 4:00. Very cool

[@MrCakewalk99]

dave grohl has been known to use double kick. theres a vid of dave and taylor hawkins with the guy from bad brains all soloing, he uses one there and on the probot album

[@stillphil]

The Good Foot 3:15

[@VeryScaryBiscuits]

1:02 amazing left hand control

[@Drummermaz]

OMG!!!!!!

[@alan2gofficial]

too many people Hate on this guy but no one has ever played even similar to his unique style. Im a pocket drummer but i also appreciate his influence!

[@gregmartinez5836]

I've noticed he likes tomes that are mounted on the kick. I know its probably a quicker set up, but chances are he's not always setting them up.

[@Tama10007]

tomas prigel master master master

[@johnteau1]

Single kick genius

[@speedoflite1]

Rorschach test of the impressionist era. ...deep man deep

[@TheFoxFeelsNothing]

We all know Thomas is a great drummer and can do unbelievable things on a drum set. But I love this solo because it's so free and kind of sloppy. You can really tell he's just playing what comes to him, he's really 'in the moment'. Yet another example of how the importance of Imperfection, musical personality and feel greatly outweighs being perfect all the time and having awesome technique (not that Thomas doesnt have that either).

[@MatanDavid12]

3:15 -3:43 holy shit!!!!!!

[@loadedlongboardlover]

he has a very interesting left hand technique when he does ghost note sometimes lol

[@MadPosturaCity9]

Whenever he yells because he "messes up"; it doesn't bother me. He always seems to be trying new ideas to excite himself; which, right in front of a crowd, excuses any flubs in my book. He's getting better and better.

[@Jevildury]

the best lol

[@X.00896]

3:15 holy shitballs...

[@allmetaliswelcome]

14"hats? what's going on???????

[@carbonc6065]

3:14 - 3:44 !!!

[@nicholashatzimanolis6360]

0:01 - 9:55 hes wearing a shirt O.O

[@kevnak717]

he has a shirt on =O

[@loadedlongboardlover]

never mind haha hes just using french grip x) my bad for not catching that haha

[@carbonc6065]

9:22 - 9:41 !!!

[@mrzak81]

Like all those death metal drummers?

[@frogbeergolfgolf]

Don't forget he is probably wearing shoes too.

[@joetoe9207]

I love this. Not his usual. Bo Jackson-esque.

[@batero4life]

this guy dont need a double pedal for the bass. holy crap. thats old school there. no need no double pedal.

[@TheCuddlyKnife]

did you even watch the video? because he's clearly not...

[@RichardCoskey]

haha yeah kinda

[@hugorezende199]

He is the king on single kick, but maybe John Blackwell was the God (check him out, and pass the torch for this legend)

[@philippefeld1731]

The hi hat stuff ? Are you serious ?

[@stobyjoemobley8288]

His right foot at 3:12. DAYUM!!

[@pogsfortes]

he's like the black morgan agren, but more aggressive

[@202drummerboy]

do you know why? because as much you watch them better you understand that they are faar from you . sorry

[@MatthewJinks03]

That snare drum is killing me! I’m sure it’s a good drum but needs tuned bad!!!

[@jacksdrumshop]

what kind of a person dislikes this? ew

[@JwlzOnDrumz]

that snare is fatter than a sumo wrestler

[@BigBillLucas]

Pot and drum solo's don't mix clearly this guy is high and his eratic leaps in tempo and co ordination make this solo really hard to understand

[@davedrummer510]

Perfectly said

[@remito71]

Those gospel drummers are becoming boring.
