Thank you all so much for the love!!!! Sput, Nate, and GhostNote brought tons of energy to my music. Thanks again to my Zildjian fam for the amazing opportunity!
This is one of those legendary performances that every musician returns to watch from time to time... I really don't know how many times I've been here.
Exactly. This video is a standard of mastery to listen to on literally every instrument! Drums, ,percussion, bass guitar, keys, lead guitar. I never get tired of listening to this.
man, even PROFFESSIONAL drummers are fanboying this GUY. Tranparency in technique, creativity as wild as a little kid, skilled like a grown man, and a God given talent. I wanna be like him. Mr. Larnell Lewis you're amazing!
My first exposure to the otherworldly drumming capability of this man was when I stumbled upon the Snarky Puppy "Lingus" video a few years ago. My mind was blown and not only did it make me a huge Larnell Lewis fan, but it was also my first exposure to Snarky Puppy. I thank whatever Gods were looking down on me that day because I've found so much more incredible music since then that I would have never known even existed. This video is one of them, too. Had the RUclips algorithm not known I was already into Snarky Puppy and had searched other Larnell videos, this would not have been recommended to me. My only regret about this whole thing is that these Zildjian/Ghost-Note drummer showcase videos were recorded in a studio not far from where I live. I would have never made the invite list, and probably wouldn't have found a way in, but I would have like to have tried, dammit!
Okay but come on... can we just talk about how beautifully and subtly Nate Werth (percussionist) compliments Larnell here (as well as every other drummer he works with)!! Sneakily filling the space at 6:07, getting that drop with Larnell at 6:34, adding to the Latin-esque groove at 7:00, and most importantly never getting in the way or playing when he doesn't need to be!! Awesome musicianship.
This was the last piece of music I shared with my grandpa. Unable to leave his bed let alone spend time in his room with 31 guitars, he replied, “Amazing!!!” In the weeks leading to his passing, this became my all-time favorite music performance. Now, months later listening to it again for the first time, I’m reminded of the never-ending and inexplicably positive influence, not just musically, that he had on me. I have a whole life in front of me, and I know he’d want me to keep enjoying this piece - so that’s what I’ll do. Thank you all for this incredible, incredible piece of music.
Sorry for your loss and grateful for your connection through music. It’s been almost 6 years since my sister passed and music is still one of the strongest bonds I have with her. Music is truly a universal language and it transcends time and space ❤
That's so true! I couldn't point out what made him stand out compared to other drummers I've seen. His use of silence to add tension + the dynamics you mention are killer. And if you're the real Jonas, then holy crap man! I've known you since the Shawn Lane days, you're a monster musician!
Larnell's ability to use exactly what's needed for the desired effect is so impressive. I'm not even a drummer but his drumming is so impressive that I love specifically listening to the way he adds to the music, especially We Like It Here by Snarky Puppy. Perfection.
Because it's an absolutely perfect composition. Larnell is equally as good as Sput and Kaz at making a phenomenal track, but what he does in the solo is breathtaking.
@@nicolasfrossard4315 there was a saying that once you leave the Zildjian family, dont come back. Well I think the relationships between endorsed drummers and Zildjian has changed and is more open now. The old rule of not coming back has been abolished.
I just want to highlight the amount of Ego Control Larnell displays performing in a room full of other amazing drummers playing that “simple” groove from the verse, faithfully staying in the pocket letting the song/melody shine for what it is without trying to impress anyone, but enjoying the moment. Slow clap for you Sr.
@@ozzysalas2005 Not native English speaker, but I’ll try to explain: he kind of rubs a stick on the hi-hat to create a crescendo then hits the snare, creating a sonic equivalent of a reverted snare sound of attack and decay (even though he doesn’t go as far as muting the snare head to prevent the real decay, but anyway). Hope that makes sense…
The 3rd verse section where he just straight up solos but actually keeps the groove going at the same time... i think my bass stank face did a full 360º inversion
Who's still watching this masterpiece? Every single one of these have been great. Truly great. But Larnell KILLED this one. The whole band was on fire for this whole performance. Unbelievable.
I agree, it's so cool to see the drummer community come together like this to support each other. What a privilege to be a drummer and play drums. I love it 🔥🔥🔥
OH MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally the best thing I have watched/listened to in a long time. The chemistry, musicality, and phrasing is incredible. I literally hit the stop and rewind button so many times just hear the sauce Larnell was bringing. Time to hear it again straight through (I'm probably kidding myself with that statement) LOL. Killer man, just killer!
I love the fellowship and community between all the drummers at the end. They are all equally as talented, but they still are in awe of each others talents. Larnell killed it!
@@jaquezimoto7998sometimes you're just not gonna know everybody 😄...when you get a chance,lookup Chris Bailey(the British guy talking to Sput) Aaron Spears was in there,Tony Royster Jr. There were a few others I know(forgot their names) that are amazing players...there's a lot of dudes we don't know but,they're out here killing! This was crazy!
@@drumavenger83 there's more than one "mini drum solo" but anyway i think i've never cried for a drum performance, but this was so fucking powerful, there's so much joy and passion, this is what inspire good musicians
@@drumavenger83I don’t think you know what a solo is lol. A solo is literally any part of a song where a particular instrument is highlighted. A solo can be improvised or not it makes no difference. A solo can be long or a solo can be a few seconds. Or is it not even that deep and you for some reason think a solo needs to be performed literally physically alone on stage with 0 accompaniment or a band keeping the form 😂 tf even is this comment the more I think about it the stupider it gets lmao
What blows my mind is not just how creative and music Larnell is, but how fluent he is, both technically and in terms of phrasing/time/space/melody. It's impressive that he can have these ideas, but truly incomprehensible that he can execute them in real time, all in one take, in front of an audience, while grooving as hard and tastefully as Soan, Gadd, or Purdie. That's what makes him one of the greatest drummers in a generation.
Every 10-20 years, someone comes along and changes the landscape. Normally that 10-20 year person is seen in sports (Jordan, Tiger Woods, Serena, etc). Mr Lewis is one of those generational folks in the drumming world.
Love the look on Larnell's face at 1:35 when he hears Xavier Taplin play those eerie notes on the synth. That must have been an impromptu, on the spot idea that Larnell noticed in the moment! Love that!
I think it’s more of the stick sliding on the edge while he opens the hi-hat slightly to create a live reverse open hi-hat sound. He showed this technique in some clinic, it’s just amazing and creative!
Jojo? But larnell is like 10 times better than him! that's the only reason i'd bother to mention his name after watching one of larnell's tastiest performances ever.
Dik Beats No!! you got to get your ears checked there,fella!!....Jojo Mayer is a world class player!! You don’t know WTF your talking about there,junior!!
my two most favorites parts of this play: 1. Larnell includes Nate the percussionist on that solo part. Beautifully done. 2. The ending where he smashed the cymbals with his hands. Epic!
Some cymbal brands have certain cymbals in their line-up designed more for "auxillary percussion" players than set players that are made specifically for playing with the hands and still get a clear tone and sound great. I mean... The one Larnell smashes is not that. But those kinds of cymbals exist. So he's not the first person to do that. :D
Larnell seems to combine so many of the amazing qualities of other drummers into a cohesive style that is all his own. The fierce groove of the best old-school funk drummers, the dead-to-rights in to pocket playing of Gadd, the effortless intensity of Colaiuta, the playfulness of Carter Beauford. You could go on and on. Definitely one of the greatest players alive right now, IMO.
Every single time I watch this video... and I have literally seen it over a dozen times... I am AMAZED by this drummer! He does things by instinct that most drummers wouldn't imagine... FLAWLESSLY!!!
From a drummer to another - He's grooving so hard, it's amazing. Not over the top, he listen to the music and emphasise parts that needs it. It's so delicate.
I agree whole heartily- and I’m not a drummer!!!! I love the look of sheer joy on his face. Such musical conviction and intention throughout his playing. I know why I keep coming back to watch this- it makes me glad to be alive.♥️♥️♥️👍🏻🔥
Me revisiting this 4 years later and Still being Impressed with this Set as well as that Solo portion by Larnell!! Don't know how many times I Rewatched that Solo Part!! lol Legendary Stuff right there!! #SaluteKing
I simply love how these musicians translate the emotions and happines they themselves feel when playing their instruments, they can't stop bobbing their heads, smile but you can see and feel the concentration through the complexity of the track. Pure music from the soul.
The groove and vibe on this live version is legitimately one of my favorite grooves of all time. It’s so unbelievably funky, these men are so talented. It’s really hard to come to terms with the fact that guys like Larnell and Mono will never be recognized for the generational talents they are.
Thank you all so much for the love!!!! Sput, Nate, and GhostNote brought tons of energy to my music. Thanks again to my Zildjian fam for the amazing opportunity!
Larnell Lewis Music what I told you the day before. That damn hi hat swell! lol😩 knew the world would love it. #genius
One of the best modern drummers today man! You're top tier no doubts about it!
The whole band is amazing!
I'm a fan of you, Lewis.

OF COURSE!!
Larnell & Nate are my fav Snarky percussive section!
He doesn't overdo anything and every little bongo drum hit and stack triplet fits perfectly. Just the right amount of salt and pepper.
He actually made larnell sound so much better!
Amazing, mind blowing, musical , loved every second
You were there
Best Zildjian commercial ever :-)
@Eric MooreII I see you on every drum vid! And it’s awesome to see how supportive you are of everyone.

Taylor King yesss their stuff reminds me a lot of Kirby music too
And he's the blue shell
that last slap of the cymbals with the hands is the drumming equivalent to a mic drop :) most epic Larnell to date
"Dad why my sister name Rose?"
"Because your mom loves Rose"
"Thanks dad"
"No problem Zildjian Live! - Larnell Lewis"
I eerie we r we a aWAwwwwwwwwwwwww we

Hahahhahhahahhahhahahhah
😭😭😭
AHAAHHAHAHAHA
Larnell plays with such good “micro dynamics”: every hit is with a very deliberate volume. All at a hundred miles an hour. Wow!
That's so true! I couldn't point out what made him stand out compared to other drummers I've seen. His use of silence to add tension + the dynamics you mention are killer.
And if you're the real Jonas, then holy crap man! I've known you since the Shawn Lane days, you're a monster musician!
Facts 😂 man’s not human
Larnell's ability to use exactly what's needed for the desired effect is so impressive. I'm not even a drummer but his drumming is so impressive that I love specifically listening to the way he adds to the music, especially We Like It Here by Snarky Puppy. Perfection.
MonoNeon tho.....bout to make me groove myself into a neckbrace.
😜🤩🤩🤩
Very well put.
Noooicce
No joke man. Can't believe he's playing a right handed bass upside down like that!
You could raise baby kangaroos in that pocket damn.
Four years later, this is still the best thing on RUclips. Thank you, @LarnellLewisMusic!!!
Larnell is SUCH a killer player.
Tim, Will you transcribe this? that would be great!!!
Larnell Lewis + MonoNeon = The end of groove world.
This is fantastic. Also, MonoNeon is the truth.
wow thats deep man...
Actual facts
quickmanz ...this would pass any polygraph test! 😂
Too bad we never got to see MonoNeon perform with Prince.
As soon as I saw him I knew I was in for some good shit
Whoever mixed this series deserves just as many accolades. Perfection.
Did he just end that whole thing crashing with his hands? Incredible.
I almost forgot to watch this today.
That bassist looks like he came out of a Dr. Suess book but damn is he naaaasty.
Mononeon is awsome
As expected from a bassist that played with Prince!
He kinda looks like spike lee
Been 3 years ?? & i have not gotten tired of this performance. Shoutout GhostNote, Mr Larnell Lewis & Sput fr.
Because it's an absolutely perfect composition. Larnell is equally as good as Sput and Kaz at making a phenomenal track, but what he does in the solo is breathtaking.
Someone please help me! I watched this video over a hundred times and I watched every reaction video. I’m addicted and I need help!

🙏 Thank you!!!
First Larnell is doing a simple and groovy beat ,then he goes crazy.
Keeping to the fundamental role of a being a drummer: Hold the groove 🙌🏼
that steve gadd restraint
Well he did write the original song so he knows what he's doing
so nice to see how Aaron Spears tag Larnell Lewis at the end there. Rest Easy Aaron 🕊
His “Language” is INCREDIBLE!!!!
bro no lies!!
Brooooo!!! THAT PART
For me Larnell Lewis is the best result of the "gospel drummers" generation
Arrigo Axia so is Sput.
Arrigo Axia I don’t think of him and spit as “Gospel” guys. They literally can play any style authentically
He's great but Rex Hardy Jr. by far
@@MrSixtysevencamaro Lol good joke!
No Eric Moore or Thomas Pridgen???

That SOLO tho.......
This whole arraignment was just one crazy Eargasm 🔥
Unethical groove from Mono. His effortless skill is just incredible. And good lord, don't get me started on Larnell. I need to sit down...
Damn us gooners have great taste
In the dimension that Mono comes from, that groove is of the highest ethical standards.
Mono is a whole conversation.
The 3rd verse section where he just straight up solos but actually keeps the groove going at the same time... i think my bass stank face did a full 360º inversion
These beats are so far they are morbidly obese...
MonoNeon should be more recognized. Dude is literally the backbone of every performance!
Found out about him recently he is unbelievable then the dude gets on the keys and guitar too. He is a legend
*Mono* is definitely one of those fine players that *Davie504* just can't mess with.

My favourites are the Thomas Pridgen and Larnell Lewis. What they play is just perfect.
I just got here.
With the amount of stank face in this room, you would imagine it's a skunk breeding ground 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
stank breeding ground
Coolest thing about Larnell is he’s so humble!!! Incredible for a man of that caliber talent.
He such a nice and polite guy. But then on the drum he's like a beast!
and he doesn't flash for flashes sake doesn't overplay either, timing and phrases just solid as a rock, fantastic player.
Many consider him the best in the world rn and he's heard of that but he'll never act like it. What a man
2:30 Respect to MonoNeon for changing that feel to the song.
So true. I bought the original iTune file of this but it doesn’t have the groove that MonoNeon brought to it.
He is a monster dude
Mononeon's bassline from 2:30 is so good
Literally the best thing ive ever seen. All those drummers vibing together, its amazing to watch. Larnell is one of a kind!
I agree, it's so cool to see the drummer community come together like this to support each other. What a privilege to be a drummer and play drums. I love it 🔥🔥🔥
100%
I yelled quite a few times during this video, unreal energy, sped my heart up!
Aaron Spears: That’s how you play???
Larnell: “Gives humble laugh” with a hand shake
I LOVE IT!!! 😂😂😂

Every 10-20 years, someone comes along and changes the landscape. Normally that 10-20 year person is seen in sports (Jordan, Tiger Woods, Serena, etc). Mr Lewis is one of those generational folks in the drumming world.
Don't forget Aaron Spears.
I see what you did there. 👀
How did he ‘change the landscape?’ You just mean he’s one of your favorites?
Still cannot get over that crazy reverse-like sound Larnell made with the hihats. Still gives me goosebumps to this day.
The amount of musical talent in that room is beyond me.
Love the look on Larnell's face at 1:35 when he hears Xavier Taplin play those eerie notes on the synth. That must have been an impromptu, on the spot idea that Larnell noticed in the moment! Love that!
It makes me proud to be a Drummer/Musician....when you can point to players like Larnell Lewis holding up the craft BIG TIME!!!!

man that fill at 0:31 is the most underrated fill the whole song!!!
🙏🏿 Thanks!! It’s great for soundchecks in studio or on stage. You get each drum separately with full volume strokes and some cymbal action

Gotta replay it slowmo
I totally agree with you. I’ve watched this a million times but never paid attention the other 999,999 times. So good Larnell!
THIS DRUM SOLO HAS ME LIKE.... "I HAD NO IDEA DRUMS COULD TALK!" MR LEWIS! NUFF PROPS FROM ST.KITTS MAN... WE'RE HERE LISTENING!!!! BLESS
dude you right i like larnell he is fantastic like a super pro drummer
Cant believe its been 5 years since this came out... Still one of the most fantastic performances I've ever heard
6:05 Those subtle hi hat chokes where he slides his thumb down creates such a cool effect during the song. So so amazing!!
SO COOL
I think it’s more of the stick sliding on the edge while he opens the hi-hat slightly to create a live reverse open hi-hat sound. He showed this technique in some clinic, it’s just amazing and creative!
My favorite part. Not the "best" part, its just my favorite tho. It sounded like it reversed.
6:06 crazy hihat sound effect...👋👋from Argentina!!
wow am speechless , especially that kick technique similar like jojo mayer technique
Jojo Mayer didn't create that technique. Steve Gadd was doing that technique in the 70's. I am not saying he created it, but Jojo devinitely didn't.
Chris Spencer how would you explain the technique?
Chris Spencer he didnt say Jojo Mayer created it. He said it was similar.
Jojo? But larnell is like 10 times better than him! that's the only reason i'd bother to mention his name after watching one of larnell's tastiest performances ever.

I mean... The one Larnell smashes is not that. But those kinds of cymbals exist. So he's not the first person to do that. :D
AND that's why Jazz drummers are the best drummers on the planet!!!
You know your a great musician and person when you get that kind of love from a lot of other great musicians. Respect to Larnell Lewis!
This video got me hooked with this fantastic simple fill at 0:28
Edit: that bass lick!!! 2:38
You better believe in MonoNeon or your sins are not forgiven
The BEST Zildjian live performance out of all of them. Hot damn that was banging!
7:46 the ecstasy of this moment was at the top, joyful and very cool
Larnell seems to combine so many of the amazing qualities of other drummers into a cohesive style that is all his own. The fierce groove of the best old-school funk drummers, the dead-to-rights in to pocket playing of Gadd, the effortless intensity of Colaiuta, the playfulness of Carter Beauford. You could go on and on. Definitely one of the greatest players alive right now, IMO.
He just makes it look so effortless. Never misses the beat.
THAT'S IT!!!!!! I NOW HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY FOR STANK FACE REPAIR!!!!!!
Haha!
Seriously let me know how much it runs you !
Me tooooooo
🤣🤣
1:06 says it all :P dat bass poppin hard tho!
Honestly, I can't get over this video. Can't count how many times I've seen this.
Whooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. So many killer drummers in one spot.😯😯😯😯😯😯
The sheer level of musicality in this is mind boggling. Wow
Fell in love with Larnell when he played with Snarky Puppy
Every single time I watch this video... and I have literally seen it over a dozen times... I am AMAZED by this drummer! He does things by instinct that most drummers wouldn't imagine... FLAWLESSLY!!!
The looks of the guys at 6:17 is priceless and summarizes quite well how I feel watching this. 😍
yeah, it is more than admiration, is like: Fuck, I'm done.
yea i think he hit the tiny hardware above the bells of the ride
@@carsonemery1846 No it were bells, but with so soft touch that I imeditally had goosbumps laungs shrink when I heard this.
@@xarted No 6:15 he hits the hardware above the ride
@@carsonemery1846 Looks like so, but doesn't sound like. I tried to recreate the effect on my cymbals but it just sounds flat and shallow.
From a drummer to another - He's grooving so hard, it's amazing. Not over the top, he listen to the music and emphasise parts that needs it. It's so delicate.
I agree whole heartily- and I’m not a drummer!!!! I love the look of sheer joy on his face. Such musical conviction and intention throughout his playing. I know why I keep coming back to watch this- it makes me glad to be alive.♥️♥️♥️👍🏻🔥
You know you’re out there when the worlds best musicians react like teen fans to your playing
Me revisiting this 4 years later and Still being Impressed with this Set as well as that Solo portion by Larnell!! Don't know how many times I Rewatched that Solo Part!! lol Legendary Stuff right there!! #SaluteKing
I simply love how these musicians translate the emotions and happines they themselves feel when playing their instruments, they can't stop bobbing their heads, smile but you can see and feel the concentration through the complexity of the track. Pure music from the soul.
Man these my PEOPLE... period. What a killer environment.
He did an 8-stroke on a single kick at that bpm, no lag. DAMN. 4:14
Still an amazing showcase from when i first watched it 5 years ago and now 🔥
That was just filthy ...He killed them drums!! Whole band is sick!
When music is played for the love of music, with this level of skill, technique, and professionalism, there is joy.
Dynamics, tecnique and that signature Larnell touch 🔥🔥🔥
The groove and vibe on this live version is legitimately one of my favorite grooves of all time. It’s so unbelievably funky, these men are so talented. It’s really hard to come to terms with the fact that guys like Larnell and Mono will never be recognized for the generational talents they are.
Lol, wut. they already are and will continue to be so
