Lang Thomas

Hudson Music is proud to present the ultimate guide to the challenging and awe-inspiring world of advanced cutting-edge 21st-century drumming techniques! Designed to be used as either a stand alone product or in combination with the Hudson Music DVD of the same name (HL00320603), this book details Thomas Lang's extraordinary methodology that will help you take your own creative and technical abilities on the instrument to heights you never dreamed were possible, and in a much shorter time than you ever imagined.

This three-disc, seven-hour set presents a cutting-edge approach to 21st-century drumming with particular emphasis on coordination and foot technique.

In a step-by-step approach that starts slowly and simply, Thomas lays out a clear and concise method for working up to the kinds of fast, complex and challenging beats that have pushed the boundaries of contemporary Rock, Metal and Fusion music.

Sections Include:

• Advanced Foot-Technique Exercises - Covers the use of single and double-stroke patterns, flam and double-stroke accent patterns and exercises, along with a series of rudimental workouts that show how Thomas has developed the technique for playing multi-pedal orchestrations (M.P.O.s) and foot ostinatos.
• Contemporary Coordination Matrix - Thomas reveals his 'secret formula,' a method for practicing contemporary coordination and independence in the most efficient and time-saving manner. He breaks down his system so that everyone can see how it’s done.
• Modern Playing Concepts - Thomas demonstrates how to apply these 21st-Century drumming concepts to real-life playing situations, showing examples of hardcore-drumming techniques in contemporary musical styles as well as several tour de force drum solos.
