    Ever since I saw his 1 hour lesson on Drumeo, He has been my favorite drummer

    • @grizzlywhisker

      yeah man, ever since i saw him play live with the mars volta a couple times he's always been on my radar. great drummer.

    Killer drum action and great demonstration of incorporating slow motion in your footage.

    • @lukasthielecke
      @lukasthielecke Před 6 lety

      Hey! Do you have an idea what kind of settings they used for the GoPro? Im trying to film my self on stage and it never really looks as good as the footage here. Is this shot with the GoPro colours on or did someone worked on the colours?

    He's been in my top favorite list since the bedlam in goliath. I was addicted to that album for 3 years. I still get chills hearing it.

    • @t_race
      @t_race Před 11 měsíci

      Same. He was an animal with tmv when I saw them live. I wonder what Cedric and Omar thought about his fit in the band after an album and a full tour. He's excellent, just not sure his style was ever really supplemental to tmv 's overall style. Either way, bedlam was sick -thanks to thomas

  • @NicholasAyersInsuranceAgent
    @NicholasAyersInsuranceAgent Před 10 lety +26

    To an untrained eye and ear, he looks like he is just hitting the drums and messing around, but there is so much going on here it is crazy! TP is one of my absolute favorites

  • @sounomt
    @sounomt Před 10 lety +8

    What I love about Thomas is that he just DRUMS. Every time you see him on the kit he just goes all out and you can just tell he enjoys what he's doing.

    • @beatrazor
      @beatrazor Před 2 lety

      Согласен! Он мой любимый ударник из всех, что я видел. The Mars Volta с его участием - для меня самая лучшая смесь для такого уровня. В моих мечтах я - этот парень :D

    anyone else in love with that snare?

  • @sanityinaseaofmadness7353

    It's good being able to watch an amazing drummer getting better with time. I've liked Pridgen for a while, but he's getting more expressive and creative, and more deliberately incorporating rudiments/ostinatos and themes. For a while, he mostly just blazed around the drums (and did it well), but now he looks like he's spent time teaching others. Great solo!

  • @jensenmccue494

      @MirzaCengic Před 10 lety

      ZZ Top's La Grange came out in '73, and it's pretty much the same thing (shuffled ghost notes+shuffled bass drum+1/8 on ride).

    • @CodyCarpSwag
      @CodyCarpSwag Před 10 lety

      Nah like way older than that cuz.Like 50's and 60's. ZZ top did create a song based off of a shuffle though

    Can’t believe I never commented on this but better late than never, I actually bought this exact kit, the one that Thomas plays here, with his used heads and all from the Drum Shop in Maine back in 2016 and it’s the only drum kit I’ve owned since, my god what a kit and what a player! Might be high time to put some mics on it and get some good quality videos of this thing now that I’m much older 😂
