Excellent instructions, absolutely no feel or soul.
There is absolutely no question Thomas is an incredible drummer. This DVD can be of great help for those wanting to take it to the next level, and I can tell you right now - it's not going to be easy. What Thomas lacks big time is on groove, feel, soul. He is a robotic drummer and that's understandable, he grew up listening to drum machine music. Being a robotic drummer is great if you want to produce robotic songs. Nonetheless if you are a drummer I recommend this DVD hands down. It's humbling. As a musician, I don't recommend it because at least for me music is about feeling good, but Thomas playing has no "feel" at all.

Only double-bass players need apply
I won't repeat what you can read in other reviews. I will just add that a major letdown for me was to find out that "foot technique" here really means double bass. If you don't play double bass (like me) and you are expecting instead to find creative techniques for your bass and your hi-hat, there's zero of that here.

Is this humanly possible?
Well it came today. I put DVD 1 in the player. I, was like, this looks like it's going to be a keeper. I watched it for about an hour. Jaw on the ground, my lap was full of drool. I didn't get up once to do anything. Once I figured out I was still in the same place and still on Earth, I figured I would check out his Matrix. So I put in DVD 2. I got the poster out and followed along. He explained it perfect. It is an Awesome exercise. It focuses on developing independence(something I have been working on, but is taking a long time). I now have a better idea on achieving this goal. I did read the reviews before I bought this, and the reviewers have once again proven to be right. Thanks to all, and Thanks to Thomas Lang. I have opened a huge door and am going inside!

Best Instructional for feet and independence
There is no doubt that this is the best instructional for feet and independence. 3 DVDs, well shot exercises and Thomas Lang's amazing talent .. thats a package everyone should have. Even if one cant do the exercises Lang does, its still interesting to watch how its done.

Gift for my son the drummer
My son says that he thinks that the sun rises and sets on Thomas Lang and was very grateful that he got the CD as a present.
