Ever since I saw his 1 hour lesson on Drumeo, He has been my favorite drummer
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
Поэтому я тоже - просто барабаю :D
anyone else in love with that snare?
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!
This guy survived the Volta Ouija album! you've got's to have chops to survive a supernatural beat down.
just when you think you have a handle on things....Pridgen! Don't be discouraged though, be inspired though these vids, theres a lot that can be learned just by watching.
I could watch this guy play for days.
200 miles an hour. And soloing the whole concert. Great drummer. The rest of the band must love him
😂😂😂
He's one of the best drummers out here rn
idc about cost, i will own a dw one day. All american, and the best sounding drums to me period. Love Thomas great playing and great sounding drums!
Hock Ooi Last I checked Guru is a Great Britain company. So? What are you trying to say, they make great drums but still.
Excellent I just love him, I come back to this video time and again for inspiration and just to enjoy watching someone who is so masterful play. Every time i do, i take something away to play with on my kit. He is my number 1.
yea he's awesome! my number one is benny greb, every video I watch of him teaches me some new drumming ideas/skills
Dat Inverted Paradiddle.
two of my favorite things! DWs and GoPros.
Glad you are including us in your favorites!
The sound of true cymbals !
SICKEST SHUFFLE! Imagine if he was around in the shuffle era. That would have been the sickest banging shuffle drummer of ALL TIME! 5:03
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).
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
Maniac on the drums, simply amazing !!!!!.
That little shuffle at 4:49 was just beautiful
Holy shit he is actually wearing a shirt!
Thank you for reminding me what a good drummer sounds like.
one of the best sounding kit's on the internet of course it's in hands
The thing with Thomas Prigden is that he actually sounds like a drummer and not some really tedious drum machine....amazing feel, he hits hard and fast and everything he does is exciting. Fantastic bass drum foot and killer hands
I love his snare drum head so much!!!
I love how much challenges himself when he plays! He isnt afraid to try things or experiment!
What a beast! As always the drums sing!
Look at that: one of my favourite drummers playing my favourite brand of drums
Boring: A word that can never ever be accurately used about this genius. What a joy to behold!!!!!
Thank the Universe for giving us Thomas Pridgen. And wow! Thanks for reminding me that i can play his beats in slow-motion so i can see what's happening.
слушать его сплошное наслаждение!
Thomas Pridgen must be a drum salesman with the way he slapped those drums.
i LOVE Dw, Thomas and go pros this is perfect !!!!
His speed around the kit is great! In that drumeo video he shows some of that crazy speed!
4:27 "Here Omar, I can play Deantoni shit too"
Man that kit sounds incredible, magnificent playing of course, the guys a beast, but that kit sound is perfect
That sound of a dw drumkit .... im in heaven
I'm getting little bit annoyed seeing (and HEARING!!!) how good this dude is...
Thomas, U monsta!!!
Speechless.
Absolutely insane, an amazing drummer
Greatest paradiddles the world has ever seen
i love his speed ...he makes playing look like so much fun......way to go my man!
One of my favourite drummers, such a amazing drummer
Dear Thomas Pridgen, you are f'n awesome...
The jamaican beat he put in, killed me. Love his playing
Great kit! Love the dark coloured wood!
the bass drum is tuned very nicely.
Clear head on the snare. Respect & kudos.
Outstanding!
6 Perspectives of Awesome. When I hear Pridgen, I hear PROdgen.
he's not from this planet... unbelivable speed and precision.
He's from planet Speed and Precision we say!
Thomas Pridgen is a fucking god damn awesome drummer... if you have qualms and shit go check out his 1 hour Drumeo lesson "Applying Rudiments to the Drum Kit" and then tell me that wasn't the baddest shit you done ever seen.
my teacher my best friend.....the king of cali......and the bay..........love u man
the sound of that snare is really interesting
This go pro perspective is so inspiring!!!
It looks like he doesn't even use the fulcrum when playing. The fact that he can go that fast is amazing
that slow motion effect! DAYUM!
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 😂
I love how when he messes up he's just like fuck and keeps plowing the kit. Seems amazingly natural at the kit
Great drummer. And this kit has an awesome colour
Clicked the link thinking it was Tony Royster Jr. for some reason, realized it wasn't, prepared to be disappointed, then saw it was Thomas Pridgen.
Its like I can't lose!
I'm pretty loyal to Gretsch but I just used a DW custom be bop sized kit on a session 2 days ago and it sounded incredible. Drum Workshop has been putting out some really great drums lately!
this dude's a monster!!
Wow, this dude can jam!
Cool! Keep up the great work Pridgen and keep making great drums DW!
Keep Drumming
Jonathan Riddick
Dudes a Cyborg! 🤟🏼
¡¡¡¡¡Simplemente espectacular!!!!
Dominio absoluto de un instrumento que requiere dividirse sin perder tu ritmo en el género musical que sea!!!!!
This is wicked man. just wicked
Dude is an animal! So cool how tight the sound is, but when its slowed down he's visually loose as hell.
accidentally had this on 1.25 speed and I was like "holy freakin crap that's fast"
accidentally had this on 0.75 speed and I was like "holy freakin crap that's fast"
I think this is the first time that i see him with a T-shrit XD... What a beast D: !!
I hope that drum set was 18...
well it's still rape
@@Hyperiontje I didn't notice that set say no lol
Awesome! Good go pro effects
Crazy video! Love it
I love that foot ostinato!
My favorite drummer wearing a t-shirt with one of my favorite hip hop albums on it. YES!
You got too love Thomas and De La!!
These 12 Dislikes must be people who don't like yellow drum kits... He rocks.
great drumming!
love the punch of the kick!
Thomas ALWAYS has the FRESHEST kicks on! haha xD
cherry/mahogany shell is such a clever choice
I bought a set a month ago, I have to say that they are fantastic drums.
I love Jon Theodore, but Thomas Pridgen is my favorite drummer from The Mars Volta tbh.
Thank you,sir!From Russia with respect
this is super cool
i give up im never playing drums again
Amazing!
sick drum beats!!!!!!!
He is so good!
I love the way it is chaos.
Que manera de pegarle al Bombo!!!!❤🎶
Nice De La Soul shirt
Im gonna get me one of them go pros. The slow mo parts are incredible.
I love his ability to freestyle on the spot nothing set up just inpro the way he can hit that lattern bass hi hat wile doing totally different style with his hands amazing watch him play all night
DW, need to know...was the audio 100% captured with an H4n or were their other mics involved in this particular recording?
Awesome!!
This is too dope.
Thomas is going Pro with the GoPro, Bro.
What a drummer
is this sped up to show of go pro or is he just crazy fast?!
He is crazy fast when he wants to be. :-)
***** He's lefty, but plays righty. Terrifying combination of coordination.
+Jeanine Smirl he just isn't human. Listen to the songs he played with The Mars Volta. Absolutely insane
***** Hahaha he's his own species
+Jeanine Smirl he is an absolute animal.
excellent
It makes it even MORE awesome that he's wearing a De La Soul shirt...
