Thomas Lang is no doubt very talented, but every video I've seen of him, he completely over uses the double bass.   I really hope they don't go in that direction.

That's because most of the videos of him on youtube are from an instructional dvd about using your feet.

even the non-instructional videos have him overplaying the double bass.  he is double bass happy.
Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?

MP was very double bass happy as well.

It's not like DT will want to find a guy who plays drastically different than MP.

And he was never able to play it live anyway. I remember my drummer's disappointed face when he heard the snare-hihat thing MP played instead.

Did he ever even attempt the blast beats live, or was it a pre-tour decision to leave them out?

I've never heard them being attempted, so I assume he decided beforehand to not play them.

there is quite a bit of difference in how MP plays the double bass and how Lang plays the double bass.  Lang seems to do it just to show off.

Damnit, he'll never fit in with DT then. Those guys never do anything to show off.

WTF, did he rape your mother or something?

Seriously man? What an incredibly stupid thing to say.

:tick2:

Yeah.... was drunk last night and went on a posting spree, my bad guys.  But still, hoping that it isn't Lang.

Now Weckl... that's sounding a lot sweeter to mine ears.

Too lazy to look back through the thread...can someone tell me what the new evidence is that points to Weckl?

Well we don't know 100% who auditioned and who didn't. But they said they got world class drummers and Weckl is a world class drummer who would probably inspire people like JR and JM in ways that MP never could. I think it's pretty likely that he auditioned, and DT would be foolish to turn him down, here check out this vid of him.

A brief timeline of recent events:

January 16th: Adami mentions that Weckl is a pretty awesome drummer, and it would be cool to see him in DT.
Five minutes later: lots of people suddenly assume Weckl is in the running, ignoring lack of evidence and Adami's original post.
Today: People are wondering what the hell is going on.

The same scenario is the reason people are talking about Aquiles Priester so much in this thread.

I put him in the poll.

Also, Adami is definitely this thread's MVP.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Weckl is pretty much all jazz fusion so I don't think DT would hire a drummer not in their style.

I guess we'll find out. I don't see DT as being that close minded though. Plus, it's pretty obvious Weckl can play whatever the hell he wants.

It's clearly not going to be Weckl.

And I'm still waiting for an impressive vid of Lang or Minnemann. There's so much praise going around for those two, but what's it based on? Do tell...

Youtube them. It's easy.
