“What About Me” Drum solo - Snarky Puppy at Jazz In Marciac! July 23, 2023 

When you ask ChatGPT to create a drum solo, it responds, "Go ask Larnell!"

I 've never seen anyone using the crowd in a drum solo. That was awesome!

I'm a simple man, I see Larnell upload something...I watch it 53 times.

Greatest drummer on the planet, in my opinion.

Larnell’s hand foot coordination is to die for. You can see how he musically thinks in bars when he’s going off away from the hi-hat, his drumming is extraordinary, but it always makes sense

I love a planet where the drummer has the audience's complete attention!

the goat himself

Drumming in the 4th dimension. Larnell never fails to send my brain into outer space trying to keep up with what he's doing.

Amazing so much brain power and articulation on the set is superb unfathomable skills, the guy took the essentials and built his own methodology of playing the set and it’s levels for others to learn and reach Larnell is legendary.

Somehow your "Enter Sandman" video popped into my suggestions. I listened to it and as a music teacher...wow I am so impressed and just want to say thank you for putting yourself out there and making an impact in the music business. As an elementary teacher that song itself wouldn't be appropriate to show.. but your active listening, attention to detail, and ability to not be afraid to make it your own is something I try to get across to my students daily. Even the MOST IMPORTANT thing I teach, that music is fun and should be enjoyable to do is something that comes across effortlessly. Even years later that video reached me and I just needed to look you up and subscribe. If there are other videos that work better in my environment I will be sure to find and show, but this message needed to be sent before I looked up anything else. Bravo and I look forward to listening to your music!!

I had a fever that is now cured because of how tastefully you worked in those cowbell hits.

Your energy and playing sound was absolutely amazing!!! The way you were using metric modulation was amazing. You actually killed it!!!!!!

sick

Great vid and the last hashtag LOL

LETS GO LARNELL!!! This solo is always insane to me! Gives me goosebumps every time, it just has so much emotion and passion!

Wooow!!! Thats Rhythmic Modulation is part of your language!! 🤯🤯🤯 Yess Sirr!!! Great!! 🔥🔥🔥

I love watching drummers that I understand what they're playing... and then I love Larnell Lewis

At least your kick pedal didn’t break this time! Lol

You, sir, are a genius. I've always loved your playing!

soloing over that ostinato is just crazy

My biggest flex for the rest of my life will be that I shook this man‘s hand 🙌🙌🔥🔥

ALWAYS TIGHT ALWAYS RIGHT

I was here ! it was Great! Thank you so much!! (Sylvain Laurent Bass French bass player!)

always so incredibly tasty, hope to watch live someday!

On fire🔥🔥Letssss Goooo! ME: HEEEEYY!!!

Larnel: improv for 6 beats Every one for 2 beats: Heeeyyyyyy!!!!!! Epic! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Larnell thank you for introducing me to a magical land called riddle (music) it was listening to you that I began to understand and love drums more and more

This so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love it

It's not just that your chops are phenomenal and on point. It's the ease with which you implement them around the kit and orchestrate them to be more musical than simply rhythmic. Thank you for the work you do, and keep it up brother.

THATS MY BOY LARNELL YESSIRRR 1:21 GOT ME SCREAMING

legend

I salute Grace Sir..... the heat just burnt down my country...respect 🙌

You are epic. Just epic.

Love the high-hat work in the beginning.

There’s some bad ass drummers out there but this is honestly the best solo I’ve ever heard. Amazing smh

Nobody got chops like this dude. Daaammmm!

And because 1:20….we can ALWAYS have more cowbell! This the beauty of seeing a cat that is at the top of his game just living in that space and finding every bit of joy….and yet still keeping it connected to everyone around him. Just beautiful. Makes me miss being up on stage. Never for a crown like that…but when you play whatever you play however you play it…and then you stop? This is the magic right here that makes you miss it!

Woooow... I can say no more

Wow-kick-ass!!!

You know that when Larnell is sharing just a solo on his channel it's going to be such a banger, that even him was like "I need to share that". And OH LORD what a banger it was !

Beast mode ENGAGED.

Best overall drummer out right now.

Yup. He's tightened up his pocket game in the world of drum soloing. Phenomenal. A lot of tasty moments in this one. Heavy with chops, yet overall creative with wise musical decisions. And he included the audience while keeping the time. That's a bonus.

Glad to see your kick pedal not fail this time

Legend has it Larnell once made a deal with the devil. No one knows what Larnell got, but the devil got drum lessons.

Love that you can just see Micheal League on the edge of the shot pulling his usual stank face

never realized how straight the time was till i heard the first groove he did. sheeeshh!!

公式で上げてくれるの嬉しすぎる

As a drummer I just need to know how you and Michael keep time so we’ll during this part, like your playing one thing then Michael is doing something else but you still manage t land on the 1 🤯🤯

Wow.. in absolute awe

Veeeerrrrrryy nice.

Never seen a drummer use the crowd as a crash before. Dope

A Canadian treasure!

Haven’t had goosebumps from drummers in years but this playing gave me the chronic one. Blown away! ❤

from another planet!

When people discuss the greatest ever, Larnell always has to be in the discussion. Respect to all the legends before him. It's hard comparing genres, but it's not hard comparing musical IQ. Larnell ALWAYS chooses the most brilliant parts to play.

Killin drummer.

Missed seeing and hearing Larnell when Snarky Puppy opened for Steely Dan. That just means I need to look for more opportunities to see The whole group for a full show.

It's always amazing to watch you play, Larnell! Thank you for posting!

love love love love

You know you’re great when you can use the crows as a crash cymbal

Parnell is a drumming machine. !Full of creativity and imagination. Was floored when I first saw him in the dvd for TELL YOUR FRIENDS and he continues to amaze me. Snarky Puppy has always featured exceptional drummers but Larnell just takes it to incredible heights.

Oh Lawd 👏👏👏

JUST….WOW!!!! Unavebelievenuable!!!

That was sick! I don't know if you're playing with Snarky Puppy this fall, but it would be great to see you in Denver.

So we aint gonna talk abiut the fact that his rolls are in a different dimension so only he can reach them

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow !!!!!

你的鼓solo有条理且逻辑清晰，情绪逐渐推进，有太多值得我学习的地方。非常喜欢你！

You sir are an absolute LEGEND!!!

Great video! I like how you use the cowbell. Kind of reminds me of the drum solo from Casiopea's song Domino Line

wow! just wow!

Chopping that shit up better than lettuce, without ever loosing sight of the board.

The G.O.A.T 🔥😍

please, post more live content!!! you are awesome

Thats insaaane

Pure joy

Whaaat 😮 That was CRAAAZY!!!

saw them in gent 2 weeks ago, it was insane seeing them play live. Like my brain couldn't handle it. You are absolutely insane larnell!!

When I attended drumeo he gave a master class on jazz drumming. I realized I was in the presence of a future music legend and a genius.

huge fan of yours from Singapore! hope to see you live on tour with Snarky Puppy!

radiates groove like a beacon! 2:42 of pure stank face for sure

What a man 😍

I've never seen a drummer use the audience as a crash cymbal this guy is in the Universe Brain realm

I tried to communicate to my wife when we first met that something like this is essentially the soundtrack in the head of any drummer…constantly.

Kraaaaaaazzzzzzyyy!!!

Great musician's like Larnell make this look so easy to do

even as a small ember colored head nearly out frame you can recognize the iconic Michael League smiling stank face

Magic

Wow, I'm lost for words...

What a musicality... You are not Just a drummer. You are a music.

Larnel est le meilleur Drummer de la planète a mon avis !!!

Simply, the master enjoying his craft. This is everything!

A genius!

I probably would've went crazy when he added the crowd to the solo!

He is superior because he is so musical. It's not all chops and speed. He has such a strong presence but he is blended in the music so you never lose the song.

😢🎉 Clap and love from this side

AAAYYYY!!!

Incredible!

What’s amazing is how it looks like he’s barley moving , but HOLY HECK. He doesn’t miss a lick. And the combos are insane. I like watching a master of their craft at work, he’s got it hammered down to a T

❤
