Hey Larnell, I just uploaded a new one of these to a recent solo you put out on your YT channel. I'd love to know what you think, and feel free to share it. ruclips.net/video/lsFyL870kck/видео.html
I just can't hear any of these as drum solos anymore. No matter how hard I try my brain is convinced that the music was written first and the drummers are just playing along to the track. Its baffling. Such an incredible achievement.
Man every compliment has been said about this, so i wont even waste time. Just beautiful, and such an amazing composition. You should be proud Alastair!! 🔥🔥🔥
The first couple times I watched this I didn't read the description so I thought this was him playing to a track 😳🙀 man this is some amazing composition work bro. Massive ups to ya both for this great musical experience 👌
The thing is the soli Alastair compose on, are played by great musicians. They don't just play random breaks on toms with double bass all around ! They are master drummers who "think" their drum soli as a composition, with structure and theme. To me, 80% of drum soli are just bullshit technique shows off ! I really prefer the ones with music in background ! (like Snarky Puppy's "what about me)
Again, that unmistakable Alastair uncanny valley thing he does, where it sounds like he was in the goddamn room with the drummer, only just playing all the instruments, but also somewhere in the head of the drummer trying to figure what they must have been playing in there too ! Best double-you-tee-eff there is! Great effin' work, Alastair, you... freak! Hehe! :D
I feel like the instrument choice is reminiscent of Snarky and the style of gospel that Larnell plays, so this feels like it fits him perfectly. Maybe a touch more dark than songs he picks for clinics or tracks he's played through on Drumeo but this still feels like it fits him beautifully. Amazing job as always, man
Y'know man maybe if you just changed...well if you just added an extra...hmm...well maybe if you had chosen a different... LOL Even if I wanted to (which I don't) There is really much that can be said about this, especially negatively. It is well done and well executed in good taste. I think you have more than done this solo justice my friend. Cheers to all of your current and future successes.
I do everything on Logic Pro X. My favourite reverb to use is ChromaVerb, I use that for those reverby guitars that come in at 1:16. I also like to use space designer (particularly a preset called Botta Church). I tend to use it for more subtle reverbs. It sounds really nice on orchestral sounds and on piano. Also I love using Stereo Delay, that is my go-to for delay.
Wow!!!! Alastair, this is incredible!!!! Thank you for following my train of thought. I love it!
Thanks so much Larnell! I'm so glad you like it :)
When the creator meets the Creator...LOL... You nailed (again), bro!
Hahaha, thanks man :)

Please man, do this forever!
THIS IS FIRE!

Thats what we called virtuoso drummer!
Jeezus, Larnell is already a very "musical" drummer but your composition is 100% on point, is mind blowing! Excellent job as always
Thanks a lot Mathew :)
Please keep making these forever.

this is so good with music that it makes me realise how boring I find drum solos as a drummer. Stellar!

Just saw this one year after I saw it for the first time, I still have goosebumps. Really fucking good work man!!!
Fantastic!!!
Thank you :)
Que Animal !! Un maestro !! Ojalá venga por Argentina
Already a fan of Larnell Lewis, this of course takes to another level
Wow...just wow!
Each time I watched your videos I am baffled by how well this works. Amazing job as always.
Again, that unmistakable Alastair uncanny valley thing he does, where it sounds like he was in the goddamn room with the drummer, only just playing all the instruments, but also somewhere in the head of the drummer trying to figure what they must have been playing in there too !

Haha, thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it mate :)
your musicianship / arrangement fluidity / tone choosing blows me every time
Thanks :)
Incredible as always! It fit so perfectly, it's as if Larnell was actually playing along to this.
Thank you :)
dang man, you really are doing all of my favourite drummers XD
tiiiiight
Cheer :)
2:20. yeaaaah
Larnell is one of my all time fav drummers these days, but I think it would be interesting to hear someone like Gavin Harrison on this track :)
I feel like the instrument choice is reminiscent of Snarky and the style of gospel that Larnell plays, so this feels like it fits him perfectly. Maybe a touch more dark than songs he picks for clinics or tracks he's played through on Drumeo but this still feels like it fits him beautifully. Amazing job as always, man
Thanks David :)
Alastair Taylor of course man, keep killing it🤙🏻
Pra mim Larnell é o nível inalcançável de baterista, sua técnica e feelling são monstruosas o admiro demais.
This is actually really brilliant!!! This is personally my favourite video of yours Alastair!
Thanks man, yeah it's one of my favourites too for sure :)
Yet another banger!!
you need to send this to Larnell!!!
Yeah, man I'm striggling to find an email or anything to contact him on.
Grande!!!

You’re showcasing some serious badassery with this one.

Your'e a fucking genius
what reverb and delay do you use? i have to know!
