Thomas Lang Learns "Lux Æterna" As Fast As Possible
Рет қаралды 1,970,026
Күн бұрынDrumeo loves daring drummers to learn songs on the spot - especially if it's in a style they don't normally play. International clinician Thomas Lang is one of the only pros we've challenged who really isn't confined to one or two genres: he plays everything from fusion to metal.
We asked him to learn "Lux Æterna" from Metallica's 2023 album 72 Seasons. As fast as possible.
(He'd never heard the song before, but we did let him listen to the original drum part to see if he could quickly replicate it!)

Wouldn’t exactly say he nailed it, he nailed DT’s actual songs, but he failed in one sector. They gave him an unknown prog riff, and he had to come up with his own drum part as fast as possible, now thats where his young arrogance got the best of him and thats also how Dream Theater did not select him. He’s definitely more mature, still an absolute unit of a drummer. He was arrogant and usually showed off at a young age, but now he really professionally display’s the level he truly is on without ruining the song, but rather by serving it

@@arqz4821 He did nail that audition. The video of the audition that Dream Theater chose to show was edited in a way so that Mike would appear to be the superior drummer. But all of the other drummers were technical equals. Knowing Thomas work, that he would have trouble with DT stuff is impossible. It's just that they showed clips where he would come off as having problems. I'm pretty sure you could edit that video in a way so that Mike would seem like a total noob.

Two takeaways - 1: just noticed the Vic Firth snare stick bag, how cool is that? I’ve been a drummer for 40+ years, I was looking at the bass drum camera view and realized 2: Thomas’s mallet placement, they were choked a bit. I thought, wait are the center of my mallets in the center of the head? No. They were higher. I always had my mallet’s too high (yes I play double bass). What an increase in speed.

You can never underestimate the importance of a lead sheet - I once got booked for a recording where the artist sent me some rough demos without drums. I wrote out the lead sheets and got some ideas for parts to play for the rehearsal the next day. Turned up to the studio and found out that there'd been a miscommunication - it wasn't a rehearsal, it was the recording! I had to make up my parts on the spot based on a few listens, and without those lead sheets we would have been there for days. Always be prepared!

@@sirdrum-a-lotYou think Lars would care that much? The guy is in a band who sold millions of records, earned millions of dollars, travelled all around the globe. And he definitly could practise more his drumming or maybe get some lessons from Thomas. 😅

Also Lars is still a pivotal part of the band and a leader of the band. Plus I think if Lars really was at all insecure, he would try to get better LOL but he clearly doesn't. He just tries to maintain what he does

@@Zort2257 did I say he wasn't a good drummer? I just said he has room for improvement but instead tries to maintain what he does. I almost added that he's getting older so maintaining is what makes the most sense but I didn't Eitherway, saying he has room for improvement is not an insult in anyway. WE ALL have room for improvement. Even the best drummers in the world will tell you they can get better. To a certain extent I agree that the whole meme that Lars is bad is ridiculous. Is he the best drummer in metal? No. But he's been doing his job well for decades and he's in his 60s or 70s. Playing metal isn't even easy for teenagers unless they practice a lot let alone dudes Lars age

In all honesty, I opened KZfaq this morning looking for some meditation videos and veered off into drum covers. Natural transition, wouldn't you say? Thomas is amazing in how quickly he puts stuff together. What I love the most is how much fun he shows this song is to play. I mean let's face it, drumming is the best meditation anyway, right? Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Metallica forever!

the best part is seeing someone use his own language for crib sheets, like many of us do. You end up speaking a shorthand language unto yourself; and having been in touring bands that did the same thing, I'd get to see these incredible little works of structural language on the stage or on stands, that guided these pros through songs. This is great stuff.

All us 'special' people seem to have some ability or other, I have ADHD and Asperger's, and my trick is once I've made a cheat sheet I can throw it in the bin cos I can picture it in my head like a very vivid photo :) I used to ace exams if I used that method!
