Welcome to

Thomas Lang, one of the best drummers on the planet. Years of total dedicationm, immense aspiration and unmatched independence of limb has brought him to work with many artists, produce and create many instructional DVD’s as well as touring clinics.

At the age of 5, Lang a native of Vienna, Austria, took up the drums after being inspried by a televised performace of a heavy metal band. “the drummer looked like he was the boss, and got to sit down”….well said Tom and how right you are

Thomas Lang has leant his expertise to Meinl Cymbals, Remo and Sonor Drums. Over his professional years he has also managed to feature on about 250 albums, countless jingles, movie tracks and singles.

Lang currently endorses Sonor drums and Meinl cymbals, and uses a Sonor X-Ray kit that was designed by himself and a Sonor Delite kit when performing live. Thomas has also had the privilege to design his own Meinl cymbals,a Synthetik Crash, Kompressor Crash, Kinetik Crash, Signal Crash/Klub Ride, and Filter Chinas. All of these designer cymbals are available in even sizes between 8″ and 16″.

Lang also uses Roland electronics, and he certainly knows how to make the best of Roland’s electronic drums. Using a selection of brains and a multitude of pads and pedals, he is able to more-or-less mimic his full size acoustic kit and deliver a stunning performance.
