Alexander Haugland I like having the option of a snare in that position, and I like pitch bending the low snare more than a floor tom I also dig the sound quality of that low snare when it’s off
Dude thanks for the answer. I am gonna try it out for sure. Thank you for the music and the lessons and i hope god bless you and your family. Have a great 2020:)
@@LarnellLewisMusic Larnell: thank you specialy for that solo in your tune "The City Lights" . Thank you for all your playing and teaching. I look forward to get to know you some day. I've read you came recently to Sevilla in my country, Spain. I hope you were treated as you deserve, I hope also that you had a good time and I hope you come back one day to be there and be able to cheer at your playing live. Best wishes for you and your growing family!!!
Yes, I've been playing for 20 plus years and never once been complimented on my speed. Its about clarity and ones ability to have the other musicians sink in with your groove that gets it. Keep attending a weekly jam session if you dont believe me, youll see who comes to the stage to play with you and who doesn't.. If they rush to the stage, it means they wanna play with you because you make them sound good.. And the audience will return too.. Cheers
After a decade of playing self taught..yeah yikes I've learned a lot from Larnell. He entirely makes it look to easy tho, impossible to get a bad take from this guy!
This man is something else. He didn't just focus on chops, stickings, and linear vocabulary (which i sortof expected with the title of this video), but first and foremost, he gave us insights on how to actually use this in the most musical sense possible. Well spoken, humble and a great educator, tackling the drums in a way that's often forgotten in these times of social media and mindblowing chops : serving the music and expressing yourself. Thank you guys so much for having him over
Please will you guy stop with the “he’s well spoken” that is a very offensive term use to describe a black person that doesn’t offend whit people or who makes them feel comfortable.we hate to hear that from people. And i don’t care what you’re color is cause it doesn’t matter most black people just don’t say that.This i why is offensive, it’s a statement that you’re surprised he can communicate at that level because most black people cant. Im not saying you at all feel that way but that’s how it perceived because historically that’s how it was used to describe black professionals. All one have to say is he is very professional and smart..that’s it
@@ologistyurny3752 I’m truly sorry I didn’t mean to offend you or anyone else with that statement. I’m a drummer myself, so if I call someone well-spoken I’m referring to his/her ability to put the intricacies of their craft, namely the drumset, into words. ( which isn’t easy to do because music is bigger than words ) I was in no way referring to a skin color, religion or whatever. He knows how to transfer his knowledge about the instrument orally, so for me, that’s what being well spoken means in that context. Perhaps I should’ve used the word articulate if that’s more acceptable, but that’s what I meant. All the best
He's my favourite drummer right now. Larnell is just so down-to-earth, humble and chill. His style of playing is so tasteful yet it doesn't come off as flashy or excessive. The way he talks about music just shows his personality, no douchey pretentiousness or bravado.
The fact that im not even a drummer and I learned a lot just now and can actually apply what Larnell taught to other instruments and life itself only show how amazing he is! Full respect!!!
I know I’m late to the game but wanted to say that as a rock/metal drummer, this has opened my horizons as a drummer, your explanations and style of playing is helping me be a better musician, thank you
Gavin Harrison does that too sometimes Edit: for example here ruclips.net/video/O5nAA_QXBPY/видео.html on 6:45 mark. The whole video is worth watching though!
I'm somehow just seeing this now for the first time. His fills groove, his groove is otherworldly, and anytime you see someone playing with that much joy you know they're the real deal.
Damn. Dude has it all, the skills, the technique, the power, the creativity, the accuracy, the knowledge, the respect and the heart! Good for him! Spread it around and gimmee some!
It wouldn’t be enough to call this man a great drummer, which he totally is but holy cow is he one of the most insightful and positive educators in music. I enjoyed this video immensely!!
When I was young like 13, I was taking drum lessons and I had the opportunity of going to a lesson one day in the small shop the guy had and there sat Buddy Rich behind a kit when we walked in, I sat just to his front left and 5 feet away while he tore up that kit, I dont remember the rest, But You Larnell are without question right there with Mr. Rich, Such a pleasure to watch you work, Thanks you so much for allowing us to be part of this incredible expirience, !! Awesomeness
This is one of my favorite presentations. Larnell - apart from being a monster on groove, fills, and absurdly amazing kick drum chops - is an elegant communicator. He is SO clear, and giving of his concepts. Seems like a truly great person. 5+ stars for this Larnell. Damn. Exceptional.
Caught this live several weeks back late one Friday evening. Next day ordered my Live Oak Custom Hybrid on the strength of hearing Larnel blast the hell out of it. Larnel is one of my favourite players, right up there amongst the greatest.
I come back to this constantly.. There's so much to this lesson.... When Larnell showed up in the coaching corner it was like a prayer had been answered... Jah Bless all!!
The thing with Mr. Lewis is that you dont sit down and watch him live or on RUclips and just be impressed with how well he can beat the drums. Were all in a trance on how impeccable he becomes the whole drum.
One of the best in his waves! because is not a over player drummer! He knows how to make music. Very educated and humble drummer ! Definitely one of my favorites!
I like Larnell Lewis so much because even if he is one of the most skilled drummer on the planet, he NEVER overplays. He is so musical, always in the pocket.
@Larnell - it’s fascinating to watch your body offer no resistance at all to the thoughts and emotions flowing to your drumsticks - flow to its finest - respect!
This man is the epitome of a professional of music. Totally different level from just a professional musician. His understanding of every nuance of musicality is on the highest level. Such a gifted man.
Tom caress at 15:17 got me like an eye-bulged wolf foot stompin' and whistlin' and howlin' at a beautiful woman... holy sufferin' succotash the chops on you Larnell could cut down the rainforest in seconds. Absolutely the greatest.
I got the opportunity to meet and play with Larnell in a college master class. He's a real cool guy that showed some awesome tricks that even me as a BASSIST got to appreciate!
Larnell Lewis. For the last hour, I was touched by the drumming angel. It was filled with wisdom, musicality, a humble soul and finally one of the best advise I have heard in a long time." Be kind to one another". Much blessings bro.
This cat has put the work in. Darnell is the first young cat that has blown me away in a long, longtime. He seems extremely intelligent and by all standards a badass player and musician. Love to study with this cat one on one.... I believe he could help me put it all together. I can’t say enough about Darnell !!!!
For my money, Larnell is the best thing going these days. Smoothe, freaky stylish, yet full of sublties and textures, and he blends it all so well. You also can't leave out the human behind the playing; he's one of the nicest and most humble guys doing it! Such a big fan of his. Only wish he was around when I was learning 35 years ago as I'd be light years beyond where I am...still just a caveman.
I knew about Larnell a couple of years ago when I first started drumming. I never took much notice of him as he was way way to great for me as a beginner. I then purchased a Snarkey Puppy video and Larnell was the main drummer. He actually blew my mind with his left and right hemisphere brain power skills. I can't say that he is the best drummer in the world as drumming is not the olympics but what I can say, is that no other drummer would have caught him on that video. Now that I have a better understanding of the drums, for me, this is the main man to follow. Bless up
If this genius of a man says its important to practice slow to understand articulation, then this simple jack needs to as well. Love your humility even when you are one of the best drummers in the world.
Larnell’s drumeo lessons have inspired me to pick up drums again at 50…and practice more intentionally. “From a producer’s point”…his awareness of his awareness is so practical and philosophically sound….Whoo boy it’s inspiring. Thank you so much!
So versatile. His jazz playing is blitzing most pure Jazz players for example. This dude is so versatile. Very articulate, interesting to listen to and a powerhouse of the kit. He's big fish in the Monster Club. So much clarity on every single beat he plays. Unfuckingbelievable. The end playout from 15 mins leaves the interviewer in hysteria. I'm seeing hearing stuff I never heard anyone else play eg 31 mins. Sensational. He's up there with Weckl. Well in a different way.
And on top of all that he played enter sandman after never listening to that song. Now there where I think 2 sections he messed up on, but what he added to the drums in enter sandman was amazing, he truly is probably in the top 20 best drummers.
First heard Larnell drumming with Snarky Puppy and instantly he became one of my favourite drummers. Congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your daughter ! Awesome lesson, awesome drumming (as always)
Dude...that was amazing...oh my God!! Larnell you are probably the best drummer in this planet, that level of technique and musicality is just incredible! I always enjoy like a child watching Larnell playing drums.
Larnell, I appreciate your ability to articulate how you think musically and how you are able to clearly share your thinking about what you are trying to do. Each time I hear you play, and/or talk about your playing, makes me aware of my own approach and what I am trying to musically accomplish with my own playing. I appreciate you and what you guys are doing at Drumeo.
I'm down with an hr just Larnell playing. Been watching him for yrs, since he was 1st on drumeo so I personally thank drumeo for the introduction... U guys are awesome!!!
This poem is about a man named Larnell: His pocket and drum fills are grooving so well! He's tasteful and yet he can play fast as hell... He practices all of the time I can tell!
Mr. Lewis has got to be the smartest drummer I have ever listened to. Thank you sir for sharing your insight. I had no idea there was so much thought that went into the drummers part in a song.
I’m constantly impressed by Larnell Lewis’s high level of skill, humility, and love as a player AND educator. His thoughtfulness and commitment to making drumming as expressive and musical as possible is evidenced in everything he presents to the listener. I learned a lot from this lesson. Many thanks 🙏🏽
So many of Larnell's fills are embellishments of the backbeat, where the snare remains on 2+4 regardless of whatever fancy stuff is going on around it. Just one of many reasons why he's one of my favourite drummers.
51:42...hi-hat reverse fade?!? I've never heard that before!! I knew Lewis was good...but this entire video was unbelievably insightful!! AND a Canadian!! 😁
Oh wow ! Great lesson and GREAT playthrough of one of my composition at the end !! Chick's pain can be found on the RoboJazz album, originally played by Stephane Chamberland on drums :) Thanks Larnell and Drumeo !!
Larnell, not only you managed to play with Snarky eventually, but you made them way more incredibly amazing than how they would have been without you. You are a legend, my legend!
Larnell!!!! Good grief! You are an inspiration to watch/listen to. You exemplify what a musical drummer is and I have my students watch your vids. Thanks so much for your wonderful attitude and your music.
Never heard of Larnell until the video of him playing Metallica appeared on my recommendations 3 weeks ago. Since then, I must have watched all of the videos with him on RUclips...twice!! And on Spotify of course. What an amazing drummer. Can't wait to see him in London.
Another great lesson from the Great Larnell Lewis, I love his lessons especially the kick technique he does. I just lost it too at 3:10. Thank you Drumeo for this! :D I also want to say I highly love the production you guys put on your videos! Congratulations to his second baby as well you're an inspiration to me Larnell. ^_^
You guys have had some great drummers and teachers on here. Larnell is an amazing drummer, but the way he breaks stuff down is the mark of an extremely good teacher. It's so simple, but I had not even thought about how important the lead up movement is to keeping time and why it's important to practice that slowly.
He must be one of the most balanced players there are nowadays. He enjoys playing, he’s super musical, has an incredible technique, and above all, is super creative.
Story Time - I was a drummer as a kid (gave it up in 2001). About 4 years ago I was visiting San Francisco and went to see Snarky Puppy. Larnell BLEW ME AWAY! Afterwards people kept approaching me asking if I was him {eyeroll}. Shortly thereafter I began my quest to become as good as him so that I could ride his coattails to glory! ...it hasn't worked yet (I'm an awful drummer), BUT at least he got me back to my first love: The Drums!
The second song is a master class in itself on levels. Both in volume and busy versus more open sections of playing. Larnell is a MASTER at his craft. So much fun to watch.
Thank you everyone for the support and kind words!!! Drumeo, much love all of you! Thank you for the opportunity to share my passion. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I love you bro! you change my live on drums since 2012! God bless U
May i ask the reason for tuning and using the extra snare as a tom??:) i love the way you play. Truly one of our times great drummer:)
Alexander Haugland I like having the option of a snare in that position, and I like pitch bending the low snare more than a floor tom I also dig the sound quality of that low snare when it’s off

"Playing fast without clarity is not helpful to music." Genius.
Yeah a lot of guys play fast but it doesn't mean much musically. You want the audience especially non drummers to "get" what you are doing.
28:47

Douchey ? Hahaha ,your words are silly.
Eric Moore and Larnell Lewis are two most free spirited drummers, which allows them to express themselves and demonstrate techniques so flawlessly.
You can't help but smile when listening to Larnell.
Knocked out man !!
Yes
This is one of the best lessons in Drumeo history. I come back to it every once in a while.
The amount of time he's put into his craft shines through every time he sits behind the kit.
I’m glad he was breathing hard after his solo. He is a human!
right
No he's not. He's a God pretending to be human.
The fact that im not even a drummer and I learned a lot just now and can actually apply what Larnell taught to other instruments and life itself only show how amazing he is! Full respect!!!

Larnell has such unrestrained mastery over his instrument. I've never seen anyone do what he does at 15:18 how he did it there. Blows my mind.
Conor Reed that was the coolest 15:18...evah.
Very cool, and definitely a technique not often used on the kit. ...risky to try b/c you've got to use both hands and it doesn't always sound clearly.
Gavin Harrison does that too sometimes
Edit: for example here ruclips.net/video/O5nAA_QXBPY/видео.html on 6:45 mark. The whole video is worth watching though!
ruclips.net/video/zBLDExIo7ZU/видео.html
James Blackwell does it too here in his solo at the end
I saw him do it in high school.
Big thanks to Mathieu Fiset for writing and submitting "Chick's Pain" which is the track Larnell played at the end of the video.
Thanks !! :D You guys are the best :)
Awesome tune

He's big fish in the Monster Club. So much clarity on every single beat he plays. Unfuckingbelievable. The end playout from 15 mins leaves the interviewer in hysteria.

Another proof that you don't need a double kick just to play cool and fast. Skill is the key. Great playing Larnell!
So many of Larnell's fills are embellishments of the backbeat, where the snare remains on 2+4 regardless of whatever fancy stuff is going on around it. Just one of many reasons why he's one of my favourite drummers.
Larnell Lewis is killer! I knew what I was going to do for the next hour after seeing how long this video was. Worth it.
I’ve been doing what he said in the intro for a while and it’s so rewarding !!
Lernell is my new absolute favorite.
Absolutely, insanely amazing.
Lewis and Grebb are so good to hear and watch. Both on just another level.
I love listening to Larnell, his creativity , feel, percussive ideas and chops are superb
even just watching him comp and keep time with the solo at 11:50 is awesome. the GOAT
51:42...hi-hat reverse fade?!? I've never heard that before!! I knew Lewis was good...but this entire video was unbelievably insightful!! AND a Canadian!! 😁
Matt S. Yup I lost my mind the first time I saw that on his Zildjian Live video. It's actually kind hard to do cleanly
any tutorials on how to do this? Definitely tryna add this into my arsenal!
What a blessing and a positive force Larnell is for the drumming community!!
The smile after the fill at 1:09 this dude is great and he knows it
He is confident ,not cocky.
Bless you Larnell with all your incredible tips, we are all here to learn and become better drummers and musicians. Thxxx.
Oh wow ! Great lesson and GREAT playthrough of one of my composition at the end !! Chick's pain can be found on the RoboJazz album, originally played by Stephane Chamberland on drums :) Thanks Larnell and Drumeo !!
Larnell, not only you managed to play with Snarky eventually, but you made them way more incredibly amazing than how they would have been without you. You are a legend, my legend!
This drumming is from another world. Loving every second. What a gift this man has. Thanks Drumline for capturing this, and thank you Larnell!
Larnell Lewis may be the most wonderful person on the planet...as well as an incredible musician and jaw-dropping drummer. Seriously.
I see Larnell Lewis, I click. It's that simple.
Class act & an incredible drummer!!
His final words are among the best I have ever heard from a musician...Listen up people!
Phenomenal, to say the least! Good taste meets precision and tone.
Reminds me of Omar Hakim's fluidity. Thank you Larnell and Drumeo!
It does, but with added turbocharger
Total monster!!! Larnell has really changed how I approach drumming and the mindset that goes with it.
i would love a short clip showing how he did to tune the second snare as a tom
And his main snare
Me too!
Good idea,hope Drumeo can provide it
Had so many unsuccessful attempts to get both the snare and Tom sound right on the same drum
@@talibgrant8310 that's the issue, i can never get the Tom sound on the snare.
These two individuals have lovely souls man. This episode made me feel good.
Who agrees Larnell is a TOP TEN drummer of all times together with Buddy Rich, Thomas Lang , Marco Minneman, Sputt ...etc?
thomas lang???😆😆😂
putra dharma_ : technically I mean???
You placed Thomas Lang in the wrong tier.
ludwigrx : which tier you suggest?
Kev Cthulu : Yes NEIL too👍🏾
Larnell!!!! Good grief! You are an inspiration to watch/listen to. You exemplify what a musical drummer is and I have my students watch your vids. Thanks so much for your wonderful attitude and your music.
Yes Larnell Lewis! I've been listening to his album non-stop recently and so glad he got an updated lesson on Drumeo!
Thank you!!!
“Going faster without clarity, no… that’s not helpful to music.” Larnell, you’re hard core, man. Awesome.
Never heard of Larnell before today. I'm an instant fan.
Oh dude, you must watch all of the Snarky Puppy We Like it Here videos now!!!
Straight to division 1
@@Morganstudios thank you. I will do that😁
There are some talented people in this world. I thank all of you
what a great musician! His approach to drums is so positive and inspirational...
Larnell is such a beast. A great dude and a damn pleasure to listen to. Special musician.
This literally made my 2020❤️
You're the best😎
🇵🇭
Hope to see Chris Coleman here in drumeo soon🤘

san ka sa pinas bro?
I absolutely LOVE Larnell's playing style and technique!! Everything is right where it's supposed to be!! And most of all, it's musical!!
23:13 instantly reminded me of the the groove Aaron Spears played to "Caught Up".
*Yeah, me too*
i watch Larnell Lewis video everyday in the past week but I'm not even a drummer, i play guitar. he is just an awesome person.
There can’t ever be enough times to have larnell on Drumeo
He's no Dumeo!
Never heard of Larnell until the video of him playing Metallica appeared on my recommendations 3 weeks ago. Since then, I must have watched all of the videos with him on RUclips...twice!! And on Spotify of course. What an amazing drummer. Can't wait to see him in London.
Another great lesson from the Great Larnell Lewis,
I love his lessons especially the kick technique he does. I just lost it too at 3:10.
Thank you Drumeo for this! :D
I also want to say I highly love the production you guys put on your videos!
Congratulations to his second baby as well you're an inspiration to me Larnell. ^_^
N3V2 - Nevto i think it’s got like a little bit of a heel toe movement in there. this guy is absolutely insane
@@user-id2dx4qd6j Thank you! I'm actually playing Heal Up for everything except my triplets at the end of the video
Larnell Lewis Music ahh ok man, pretty unique technique. awesome playing
so i just ran and jumped kicked my tv at 3:10 ... i just lost my mind 😅🤷🏿♂️
Imhotep_drummerjones ok
You guys have had some great drummers and teachers on here. Larnell is an amazing drummer, but the way he breaks stuff down is the mark of an extremely good teacher. It's so simple, but I had not even thought about how important the lead up movement is to keeping time and why it's important to practice that slowly.
He must be one of the most balanced players there are nowadays. He enjoys playing, he’s super musical, has an incredible technique, and above all, is super creative.
Story Time - I was a drummer as a kid (gave it up in 2001). About 4 years ago I was visiting San Francisco and went to see Snarky Puppy. Larnell BLEW ME AWAY! Afterwards people kept approaching me asking if I was him {eyeroll}. Shortly thereafter I began my quest to become as good as him so that I could ride his coattails to glory!
...it hasn't worked yet (I'm an awful drummer), BUT at least he got me back to my first love: The Drums!
After I saw and heard this dude spazz out on Snarky Puppy's "What About Me" song, he instantly became a new Favorite for me!
The second song is a master class in itself on levels. Both in volume and busy versus more open sections of playing. Larnell is a MASTER at his craft. So much fun to watch.
Digging that snare floor tom!!
