Wow, yeah, there is the trad grip for ya!
Looks like Thomas has a new set-up, and even better... clear toms baby!!!
That's why he's flippin' us off, he has clear toms, we don't. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Haha!
Vinnie had that excact grip on an old poster for his Yamaha signature snare.
Wow. He must work out!
(Dumb and Dumber anyone? [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
Heh heh...you guys are too much...
TL's obviously the Pillsbury Doh!/Whoah! Boy...only w/out the pudginess to hold him down... /;c)

How can he play those toms mounted flat like that? Won't he just hit rims all the time?
Al
Is this 'One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', the musical? [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
That's one thing I don't like about trad flip... er... grip.
haha yeah i sometimes air drum in school and i play trad so im always scared a teacher will think im giving the finger haha..it looks like your just waving around at everyone if you air drum trad lol...try it
[img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Yeah, i sat behind Thomas' kit... i am 5'11" and he is about 6'4". I could NEVER play his kit, i would be missing things left and right because the distance and height of everything. A couple inches distance here and there makes a huge difference when you apply it to a whole kit. Thing looks impossible for me to play when i am back there. However, he is a big guy and therefore, gotta take that into account... he makes it work! [img]wink.gif[/img]
lol
Use that exact hand position for a T-Shirt! I can see a kid at school explaining that one to the teacher.. "But it's traditional grip!"
Have match grip on the back of the shirt saying.. "I told you we would get in trouble!!"
hmmm.. new HOD shirt???

Looks like TL is flippin' off all the [rubato Xtreme-Olympiad-chopsfest-] 'haters'... [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] j/k

That's Thomas flippin' us after pulling off a 6/8 over 15/16 over 7/8 over 5/4 with the twin-effects pedal playing an ostinato in 3/4 OVER that 5/4 (while chewing gum in 4/4 of course). [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
Hehe, i know what you are talking about when it comes to 134.587945/45.987 (but can you swing?!?!) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Oh yeah, the Porcaro vid, haha!!! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
That is so damn funny that you mention that, what is up with him in that video? He can barely finish a sentence in that vid! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
...while belching [a la Porc] in 9...
WHAT?!
NO 54.4/32 ?!! [aka 27.something or other over 16...eh, you guys all know what I'm talking about...kid's stuff]...Meh, lightweight! Pantywaist even.
OK, NOW it looks like I'm being REALLY absurd... [img]wink.gif[/img]
It's all mat's fault...
reading some of the posts about Thomas here perhaps he is getting his own back on ya...
Heh heh
mat, I believe upper east USA calls it "augida"...[sp?]...ie, one too many slices a' 'dat ol' pepperoni n sausage pizza + espresso b4 the gig...heartburn...'gerd'/acid-reflux... [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img]
AE; i think you may be right... ;c)
Eh, what does TL care? [German accent:] "I kun do foetee-zevn haginst "twvunty-vorrr" vhilst pile-dhriveengk yor head een vis terty-zekundt h'notes at vun-hondredt milesz un hower, undt dreenkeengk esprezzhoe, UNDT fleepeeng hew zee bairdTUH"... /;cP
"Hey, forget Gadd; I want that guy who does "47/24" [img]wink.gif[/img] with the insane tempoed 32nd DB flurries going on underneath... /;cP
Don't get me wrong; for what he does, i think TL's great...for what he does]...he has insane technq & chops...
...I just did that for the sake of a leetle *chucklidge*...[aka, *chortlidge*]...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I had the exact opposite sensation when I sat behind Thomas' kit. His gear was so close by and low. I'm 5’10 and he's 6’4; go figure. And his pedals were the loosest I've ever experienced. A kit setup is SO personal.Quote:

I have everything WAY close to me in my set, way in... my arms never completely straighten when i play because everything is so close. Didn't you notice how large the height differential was between his toms and his snare? Also the cymbals were way high and i am not used to the ride being where he has it... also the crashes to the far right seemed way out there. I mainly was bugged by how high the toms are off of the snare... i would be ramming sticks into the shell all day.
... but, he is Thomas and i am NOT! [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
It certainly works for him! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Bergmeister that would be an awesome idea for a t-shirt!
lol i would buy it!
Caption... "My name is Thomas and I will be your Drum-Arobics instructor for today..."
S.P. , I can make a shirt but I feel I would be exploiting Steve's board. If the design is cool and everyone approves/contributes then the proceeds should go to HOD. On another note, check out what this board did...

give you any ideas? Just a thought. Would take a huge amount of effort, but would be great to do this here! (oh man I just dug a huge hole didn't I?)
