Thomas Lang


Thomas Lang came out with drum dvds such as Creative Control and Creative Coordination from Hudson. This guy is a monster of talent! I bought Creative Control and I was totally blown away.

He has amazing speed and plays like 5 different pedals! He does crazy stick tricks to. He started playing at the age of 5 and is now well known all around the world.

He is an independent drummer and a native to Austria. In creative control he played a Sonor Delight Series with a white sparkle finish! It was gorgeous. He plays Sonor!



Mike Portnoy

Next up for me is Mike Portnoy! He had one drum set that he called the Siamese Monster because it was so big! Drum heroes can influence your playing style.

He has one CD out called Liquid Tension, he is playing paradigm shift off of that CD. Talk about amazing, amazing talent on that CD for all of the instrument players!



Gene Krupa has a Signature Series Slingerland drum set after his name! He is a master drummer of the old times and is remembered today for his greatness!
