    0:00 - Introduction
    Remember the first time you heard "Enter Sandman" by Metallica?
    Or maybe you've never heard the song at all.
    It's one of the most popular metal tracks of all time, but those outside the metal or rock world might not recognize it.
    The last time Larnell Lewis came out to Drumeo, we challenged him to write a drum part - on the spot - to a song he'd never heard before (click here to watch) and he blew everyone away.
    This time, Larnell wanted to try a style he's not known for playing: metal!
    If you want to see a fusion drummer try to play one of the most popular metal songs of all time, don't miss this video (you can skip to 9.33 if you just want to watch Larnell play).
    01:08 - Active listening
    When learning a song, he practices active listening, which includes looking for these things:
    Song form: How many measures are in each section?
    Tone: How does the song feel? Is it aggressive or calm?
    Specifics: Any shots you should look out for?
    Larnell takes an analytical approach and breaks down all the details, noticing patterns and themes and how the different instruments play off each other. Because of this, he can already hum the chorus' melody and drum part after only hearing the song once, and remembers most of the structure as well.
    09:33 - Performance
    While he's known for his great drumming skills, he also has excellent listening skills and a strong memory. Larnell knows what to prioritize when learning, so he's able to learn quickly. You can learn how to do it too!

      I hadn't even heard of Enter Sandman until I was about 14, I guess it depends on the environment you're raised in, my parents were heavy reggae and RnB listeners so that's all I heard I was young.

    @leonkheric 3 месяца назад +387

    I love how he recognizes that the half-beat would mess him up, so he adapted the lines with high-hat fills to not loose track while keepin the half beat on the crashes. It ended up harder to perform than the original line, but for his mind work, the extra notes ended up helping him keep on track. A nice improvise perfect for a first-time performance. A true Genius.

    mr. Lewis is not just an amazing drummer but an incredible musician. he serves the song and not himself which is how he can hear things like the up beat hits and moreso the key change. he's got chops for days and could easily be one of those drummers who has to show all of them in every song. I love these kind of drummers but Larnell is so musical. so tasteful. one of the best in my opinion. god bless you mr. lewis!!

    Seeing him hear this for the first time made me realise how much I take this song for granted. I’ll often skip it if it’s on because I’ve heard it so many times but this video brought back to me the simple but powerful beauty of that signature riff and the way the drums support the song so brilliantly. It was like hearing it for the first time with Larnell.

    Watching someone who is so good at his craft dissect a tune like this is amazing. A man who is that technical walk through tune like enter sandman is awesome to watch. It was cool to see the transformation, he was very studied and near introspective in the beginning, he got a little more comfortable, loosened up and then the power of BLEEEGGGGGH compelled him to just let her rip. A lil surprised he didn't charge through the kit after. Also after seeing this I think his feet are so fast I don't know if he'd need a double pedal for blast beats. He had so much fun! So well done dude. Much Love Mr Lewis!

      He might struggle a bit with many of the songs from Rush ... or "they" might struggle with supplying the number of required drums and other "stick-based instruments". Its not just "having the drums/instruments" but also "positioning them in a manner so you dont have to twist completely to reach".

      I really like how innocent and nice your comment is.
      What I think when reading it: Let's find the mainstream song he can't play and break him! And if that doesn't work, let's move on to experimental stuff. But that's why I like your comment, the series would be great if it's not about the challenge but about the lessons learned.

      He spends so much energy listening and then when he plays you can tell that he is concentrating on this.
      That’s the true sign of a quality musician, regardless of skill level.

      @Derek Frampton aKa 1PaPaD1 yeah I think the only way to have not heard it ever is to be very close minded about music and making it a point to not listen to rock or mainstream mediums.

    I know this is a relatively simple song in terms of structure and groove, but hearing it just once and then playing it this well is really impressive. Also, when he confused the outro and played the drum beat over the part that normally has the toms, that sounded really cool.
