Thomas Lang rolls into the ICMP
Everyone's favourite Austrian vituoso drummer, Thomas Lang, will be stopping by the Institute Of Contemporary Music Performance in London on 27 May.
Thomas, a member of ICMP´s visiting teaching faculty, is probably best known for his jaw-dropping control and technical ability. His tuition DVD´s are some of the best selling in the world and, as a clinician, he is a great communicator and motivator.
Thomas´ daily practice regime eventually became the basis for his 2-part series of instructional videos, Ultimatives Schlagzeug I & II which were originally released in 1995. Due to overwhelming demand, these videos were re-released on DVD in 2004 by Hudson Music. His instructional DVD Creative Control (Hudson Music) is now one of the biggest-ever selling instructional DVDs of all time. Thomas´ album, Along These Lines was released in 2007 along with a music-inspired clothing line
A small number of places are available to the public for this masterclass so act quick. For further information or to book a place at one of the sessions contact the ICMP directly on:

“They all said he was crazy. The whole industry said he's going off the deep end. Who would even buy a guitar or a piano over the internet? And he just stuck to his guns. For him everything was doable": See behind the scenes as Thomann turns 70
