@gregguarino563, Right on my friend, that's what it's all about, no doubt. Excellent outlook advice to share with all musician's, not only drummers IMO. As funny as it may sound by chance did you happen to take a bit of drum study's & advice from Billy Cobham? 🤔 The reason I ask is it's almost word for word the same advice I got from one of Billy's masterclass talks. Either way it's all about sharing music knowledge too like you did my friend, so kudos. 🤘😜🤘 "Knowledge Is Power!" +Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul & All That Jazz In Hip-Hop Too!+ 🍻
Bruh... the touch, the feel, the space, the sound, the enjoyment, the craft. The meticulous attention to nuance. This is like if sound had aroma. My man is cooking, and it smells good, bruh. 🔥
I love his playing. All of it. He is *SO TASTEFUL* and *VERSATILE* as well as shocking. He pulls out some fill or rudiment out of nowhere and make it fit so perfectly musically speaking. I would love to have his creativity. 👏
Wow - thanks for pointing that out - I never really pay attention to that, but it gives me another level of appreciation now that I know to listen for that.
what makes Larnell Lewis different from other drummers is his coordination, the level of 4-way-independence that he has is out of this world. I'm 14 and I'm practicing by listening to his albums and tracks. its awesome.
Perfect balance of tone, skill, musicality and dynamics. It is just doesn't get better than watching a drummer who gets all of that. Thank you for your hard work!
Just beautiful. What sensibility, poise and...man, everything. Stay healthy, live smart and continue to push boundaries and expand your own awesome space.

Larnell is a technician on the drums and few know how to precisely place everything and make the congruence of a song clear. I’m not confused when I listen to his music, and he is just a master at his craft! Amazing job sir and keep doing what your doing for the community!✊🏽👌🏽💯
"I'm not confused when I listen to his music..." this is deep - like REALLY deep... I cannot help but think of SO MANY jazz/fusion/prog musicians (especially certain drummers), who INTENTIONALLY go on technical journeys to obfuscate things in "cool ways". In the end, it means very little and alienates everyone but the most technical among the audience.
Gotta say Larnell, I'm honestly a little disappointed. As good as you are, I half expected you to drum on ACTUAL COCONUTS! 😂😂😂 Great job as always 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is what drumming is all about not like a lot of drummers on YT that seem to think hitting things as fast and as hard as they can equals talent. Talent is all about dynamics and creating a drum track that compliments the music. This is a masterclass in that.
The track of the century so far. An exiting adventure every time I listen to this. Such elegant and fine rhythmic nuances. Melody to compliment all of that. When your mind is blown and you expect the song to be over, you are yet again blessed with the finest and smoothest flute section uplifted even more by Larnells impeccable taste on rhythmic choices. Bravo.
i m a drummer i follow heavy metal such as black sabbath whitesnake and rainbow back in there day as my favourite drummer was cozy powell over the years your ears listen to a variety of beats and rhythms its taken me through different journeys of a kaleidoscope or a plethora of drummers and this reminds me of a cross between art blakey and billy cobham beautiful players thanks for the upload
To be One of the best Is not enought, when lor of drummer are the bests. You are an artist, not only a Drummer! What a pleasure i had to know you in Italia Firenze whit snarky. Good luck for everything..
RUclips Algorithm blessed me when it put you on my recommended. I recently purchased a house and have a space of my own just to listen to music. You know this music is a direct link to the soul when people start knocking on my door asking me to raise that volume!!! May God bless you and that amazing talent! Jam on Brother! Truly awed and inspired!
soooooo smoooooth.....wow, this track takes me to a Caribbean beach, with the sun shining, the waves crashing and getting served amazing tropical drinks in....coconuts....
Watching Larnell reminds me of that Chick Corea quote about Steve Gadd. “Everybody wants to play like him, because he plays perfect.” One of the greats without a doubt.
As a high pace, extreme stamina filled death metal drummer from a totally different world... I'd have to honestly say Larnell is one of the best I've ever heard\seen 👏 👏 👏
I hate to say it, but this is one of those dudes that will never get the recognition he deserves. He's insanely talented. So are the musicians around him. But most people just want to hear bullshit pop music. This video should have millions of views. But hey, as long as this man can do what he loves and make a living doing it ... that's the dream. Props to you bro.
@@tiwantiwaabibiman2603Being able to read music is not a criteria for musicality. Playing or singing is. There are many who cannot read music and play well. I'll drop one name, Buddy Rich.
extraordinary musicality meets unprecedented unpredictability .. an undeniable personality of percussion and style. And his mahogany sticks strike me like a pair of Cuban cigarillos .. wickeD smarT!
Hey Larnell, love your playing very much. Very tasty, always aware of the music, great sense of dynamics and inspiring... Great sound of course too! Thanks for sharing and all the love you put in! Keep it up, all the best and a big drummer hug from germany - we are all one (more than ever!) 😉
Larnell, YOUR music, composition and gift are powerful and beautiful. Helping me. Have lived in my car with my cat for 20 months. God show us where we should go. I thank God for music like this and Worship Mob. BASS player sound like Jaco Pastorius who died too soon. Love you all. Love, monique
Man! The performance, the audio mixing, the video quality, lighting, editing...EVERYTHING is SO ON POINT in this entire video! Well done👊🏻💯 THIS is the standard🥁
The day I found you via the "we like it here" recordings my musical life got significantly better. That's something, especially considering I'm not a drummer. All the love from Austria
Same! Just found him about a month ago and I have been hooked since. I’ve probably listened to Lingus, What about me, and Outlier 100 times each and they still amaze me.
LL - Celebration !! - This Man continues to set the Mark for all of us to be Inspired, Encouraged, and certainly Blessed by. Always a clear display of Joy, Music, most of all, Love comes through the drum kit ! Thank You Larnell - A Ray of Light !!
Musicians know that playing with a drummer with this much feel makes everyone better. I only experienced it with one drummer. This dude is even beyond “feel”. He of like a conductor. Amazing.
COCONUTS! My favourite song on the record
😁😁😁😁😁
Samee
Definitely
Same!
@JD Zoot suit :-)!
This dude understands the sound of his instruments. So soothing to the ears
#facts
So true!!!
Man you telling the truth
@@RonArtisII Make a song to play with him!!!!! I need you to feature with Snark Puppy already too! Lol
I was just thinking the same!
A drummer's record that doesn't sound like a "drummer's record". All about the music. All about what fits. Bravo.
exactly!
I agree and he’s not gospel chopping it up the entire time 🤣

See also Mark Guiliana. Not just a drummer/percussionist - just a musician.
Ugh the musicality and utter lack of ego. Godly musician.
You nailed it. I can speak from personal experience! 🎸👍
nailed it man, literally no bullshit flashy fills and he would have them all. Pure feel and control
Agreed
@Allen Marlin he's very down to earth my guy, egocentrism is hard to find in this case! :)
@Allen Marlin He knows he is great, but he knows he can be better. There's a balance.
This is gonna be my neighbor's new favorite song
😂😂😂😂 Thats Awesome!!!!!
Mine too! I absolutely love that our neighbours have the exact same taste in music. Much love to you and yours!

Oh my Lordy those drums are tuned to perfection!
Wow - thanks for pointing that out - I never really pay attention to that, but it gives me another level of appreciation now that I know to listen for that.
When musicians talk about "feel", this is what they are talking about. Perfect combo of precision and dynamic. All class. Stay up bro!
I love how much control he has to not overplay, that's an art in of itself, phenomenally well done dude
in and of itself*
dude i totally agree.. his composure is amazing. He's really phenomenal indeed
i steal my words!!!! definitly!
@@whatdothlife4660 yeah, me too, just can't help myself...just tryin' to help someone be there best...hehe!
There are many drummers out there, but not many that play musically and dynamically like Larnell. Absolutely amazing to listen to.
we leave our "like" even before to watch, cuz' we know that we'll not be disappointed 🙆🏾♂️
big facts 😭its playing an advertisement right now
Just in case I forget
Funny exactly what I thought...and did 😉
lol absolutely. I subbed before I watched! Larnell never disappoints!
No lies 😹❤️❤️❤️

I see Larnell, I click. It's that simple.
See Larnell, eyes drop down to the video post date, see that it's brand new, click play - all in a blink. Then watch 100 times... Just sayin...
I just became a fan

Gotta say Larnell, I'm honestly a little disappointed. As good as you are, I half expected you to drum on ACTUAL COCONUTS! 😂😂😂 Great job as always 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
LOOOLLLLLLLL!!!
Lol
Don't hurt my ribs. Ded!

😂
he seems to treasure every little sound of every part of his kit…as children… total lovely

oh how I adore musician that can play music and makes everyone enjoy the music as well, not just showing great technique
Every hit necessary! Not overdone... oh man the sound of perfection! Music can be set free!
You know a percussionist is skilled when you enjoy the music more than fancy flashy chops. I want to listen to this again
He's a drummers drummer, always high class, keep it up bro, prayers from Louisiana!
This drum kit is freakin singing to me. Shows how beautiful percussion can be, not always just...bang, bang, smash.
Hes playing that kit like a piano
There are drummers and then there are musicians who play the drums. He is a musician no doubt.
Larnell will always be my favorite drummer. The way he goes around the kit and utilizes every part, down to the sticks, it amazes me!
The track of the century so far. An exiting adventure every time I listen to this. Such elegant and fine rhythmic nuances. Melody to compliment all of that. When your mind is blown and you expect the song to be over, you are yet again blessed with the finest and smoothest flute section uplifted even more by Larnells impeccable taste on rhythmic choices.

Wow this is as smooth as melted chocolate being poured over the finest silk
This guy has the Midas touch when it comes to drums! Everything he touches turns to gold
Such grace. One of my favorite drummers. God bless.

The meticulous cymbal control at the end reallllyy blew me away... what a musician.
This video has soul written all over it, the Africa shirt, the lighting, those drumsticks!! Man. One word to describe this, NATURAL.
Larnell is an absolute beast, it’s always great hearing him express himself musically.
My inspiration.
Larnell is an amazing musician and the drumming he does, especially with Snarky Puppy is amazing. He's also buff as hellll. 3:15 is freaking amazing
two copies of this... one should be sent into space and one in a time capsule on earth for later generations... Thank you Larnell!
Ugh, man. I was crying from that how accurate and smooth you playing this song.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

The subtle flares everywhere that dont crowd the song but add spice are so goddamn good. All of the time.
ik he's so tasteful
One of, if not the greatest, to ever do it. Thank God for him.
1:37 The most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my life.
Ooh yes you felt that too

Ive never seen such Grace and Fluidity. Just WOW! I may have a new favorite drummer here.
L.L. Plays so clean technically superb, and coupled with his world class EAR - it’s frighteningly great💯💪🏾🥁⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️
Who else was just in awe? Every instrumentation was heart warming.
Watching Larnell reminds me of that Chick Corea quote about Steve Gadd. “Everybody wants to play like him, because he plays perfect.”
One of the greats without a doubt.
Finesse, elegance, control.....so smooth 😎👏👏👏👏👍🏻🥂
Beautiful! Smooth, controlled and musical.
Wow. Of course all the chops you will need. But most of all I appreciate the beautiful touch and creativity.

Awesome guy awesome drummer been following him for years. God has blessed him with some great talent. He gets right in the pocket and feels it.🥁😁🥁
I've never used this word to describe a song before but it totally fits here: GORGEOUS.
Larnell Lewis is his own vibe! The man is one of them all-time greats!
This footage and camera work is worth the amazing talent of Larnell
How can one not like this? Coconuts…
There’s something very Chick Corea about this.. Beautiful all the way around. Larnell is an amazing musician..
Master of the Drums Universe. 🤘😎👍

Larnell is part of the ensemble Snarky Puppy and they have grabbed a few Grammys in the past. I don’t think He is that obscure
And none of those pop "artists" can read music let alone really play an instrument or really sing...

This is beautiful, your playing is beautiful and you as a human are beautiful, love this bro ✊🏾🥁
Those sticks are like wands waving there magic around
Larnell best Drummer in the world.

He is good but i think Eric Moore is on the same level.
Absolutely beautiful. Larnell Lewis is great, and this a coup de grace by him.

Just wanted to drop this hear, I love Austria. As an American Soccer/football fan, one of my favorite countries.
I think I found both Mr. Lewis and Snarky Puppy through his Drumeo Enter Sandman video. A new world of amazing musicians and music.
So schön kann Schlagzeug spielen sein....Larnell macht wirklich traumhafte Kompositionen....wunderbar....schön
The fact the he used his arm to do a gravity blast...
