Professional drummer and educator Larnell Lewis explains drumming in 13 levels of difficulty, from easy to complex. The Snarky Puppy percussionist explains how drum techniques build upon each other as the easiest levels incorporate the hi-hat, bass and snare drums, and more difficult levels include polyrhythms, the floor tom, ride cymbals, syncopation and much more.

As a touring drummer with 30 years experience, this is the most concise and well presented summary of playing drums I have ever seen. Easily digestible to the audience, not structured based on difficulty like most of these RU-vid videos, and the visual editing was absolutely flawless so people could see and hear what was being explained.

The best part of Larnell is that he doesn't talk down to the audience. He conveys that we're smart enough to get it, and discusses level 1 just as importantly as roving paradiddles.

@marquisdelafayette1929 Год назад

I never heard of Larnell before til I saw his videos on Drumeo, like playing Enter Sandman after one listen. He wanted to do something “outside his box” and so tried a heavy metal song. Just watching him process the song and start to anticipate the next hits was amazing. Him playing it was also awesome.. you could see him get into it by the middle of the song and by the end he was adding his own fills to the song, and actually IMPROVING it while keeping with the style and theme. The guy also seems like a humble and truly down to earth artist who doesn’t take his talent for granted. Supposedly, years ago, he was offered a position to tour and be the drummer for Drake. Once he got there and started learning the materials he dropped and because it conflicted with his moral values. Like seriously, how many individuals would do that? He is truly an extremely rare talent and human being.

@brunomonlevade769 Год назад

a great thing about the way he explains it is that when you're getting to higher levels of complexity, it seems a lot less complex thanks to how he's built the steps into them

@Stuugie. Год назад

As a drummer I totally love how Larnell set this up. These levels aren't ordered by difficulty - there are dozens of drum fills that are far easier than even a 2-3 or 4-3 polyrhythm for example. It's ordered in a foundational way - of course you need to learn basic rhythms before moving forward, then rudiments to build technique, polyrhythms to give flexibility and develop limb independence, bringing in fills and ornamentation last not because it's harder than the previous steps but because by following the steps in that order you have released all limitations on how you can perform the fills and grooves. It really says a lot about Larnell's philosophy as a drummer and shows that his style is developed completely consciously. Straight up you're one of my absolute favorite drummers.

@greggriffith7599 Год назад

I've been drumming for 37 years and have never understood what I was doing, or attempting, or wanted for my drum parts until hearing Larnell break it down and attach labels to these techniques. Like: embellishments, leveling up, and grounding the pattern. When you have a name for what you are doing it gives it legitimacy, and helps to relay what you're doing to other instruments. What a great teacher Larnell is. ;

I’m not a drummer but your explanation is wonderful not to mention how incredibly talented you are as a drummer . Wow!

Few years back, Larnell Lewis came and gave a workshop in dubai, UAE. His Explanations were lucid and clear, he went over ever thing he was teaching so many times, and also how he learnt things. It was so inspiring. I didn't know who he was at that time, but he left me with an impression which i've kept in my head for so long now. I talked to him and he just seemed like a really nice and down to earth person.

Wow! This might be the best shortform instructional instrument video I've ever watched. I don't know if you brought Larnell into the editing-room, but BIG respect to whoever edited this: visually expressing Larnell's teaching all the way through, and with great detail! 10/10

@Life-er6mq Год назад

One of the best expert walkthroughs of complexity that I’ve seen in this series! I felt like I genuinely understood all of that even though the coordination would take years of practice. I realize he also just conceptualizes patterns I’ve noticed in rhythms culturally like polyrhythms in West African dance such as agbadja or “Bor Bor Bor” by the Éwés. Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

As a drummer and fan of metal music, what I love is how he puts so many notes in a beat with his hands instead of a double pass pedal, it sounds really nice

@abaker82 Год назад

I love that 32nd note fill down the toms. Like “Yeah, for y’all that don’t know, now you know.” So awesome.

This video; Every person who supported its existence; This performer--every single entity involved in the dissemination of this experience is DIRECTLY involved in the philosophy of "information is like water." Bless the lot of ya.

No no no, Level Thirteen is unreal. This man is a Paragon.

Just beautiful. Love Larnell’s articulation - both as a truly phenomenal player and educator.

Thanks for picking one of the best drummers right now, Larnell is such a legend

@hughfaulkner2500 Год назад

Larnel has been one of my favorites ever since seeing him with Snarky Puppy. My biggest takeaway was the always useful "pro tip - make sure you're breathing when playing the drums."

@arkin2263 Год назад

As a drummer this was an EXCELLENT lesson at drumming, especially for first time-rs. In drum lessons that I took in my past, all this is usually learned over the span of 2-3 years, and you are able to summarize it in one 18-minute video. This also really helps me for writing material since next week I'm about to teach the basics of drums to some people. Great job 👏

@zajebancija11 4 месяца назад

I’m so impressed of the skills and very good explained. And he’s such a calm person but full of energy 🙌🏽

As a drummer and as a visual person - this video is *everything*. Mr. Lewis does a fantastic job of breaking down the mental 'buckets' we keep in our head of all the various drumming 'bits' - and the video editor(s) do a bang up job of visually signaling how each of them are utilized throughout the video. Just perfection! Kudos to everyone who participated in making this short video.

@portal432 Год назад

This guy… he is an Amazing talent. For you non drummers check out the drumeo clips where he plays a song after hearing it twice. Blows my mind how fantastic he is

@ferryvantichelen6521 Год назад

You mean "non-drummers" because all drummers have already soon those, right 😄

@priscillamaislin5532 16 дней назад

He seems like the most patient and motivating teacher. His talent is beautiful, but t be able to translate it and express it to teach others, just makes it greater. Artists that transmit their passion get me so exited, like he gave me goosebumps multiple times during this video. Thank youuu

@tomhalbouty3653 6 месяцев назад

Superb framework for helping drummers break down and understand the range of complexity on the kit. Many thanks, Tom

@Th3xCyph3r Год назад

That crispiness in Larnell's Dry Cymbal Setup! Zildjain definitely nails the sound quality of the cymbals. ❣️

@hughjazz4936 Год назад

I love how when he's explaining stuff he has some calm and collected demenour but when he plays his face changes. Bro is a true musician you can tell!

@mitchellclark4377 8 месяцев назад

I could seriously listen to this man drum all day. Such virtuosity yet so clearly unpacked.

@dearreader9739 11 месяцев назад

Today I learned: after two decades of being a drummer, I am a level 5! Take that, you level 1s.

@abba136 Год назад

I have been waiting for this! Larnell is incredible!

@fheering Год назад

Larnell Lewis is an incredible drum player AND professor, besides being a really cool dude. This is a combination that is not always found. Also, congrats to the editing and post-production crew, who did a fantastic job cutting this and adding the right amount of visual elements to ground Larnel's talking.

@Atilowski 10 месяцев назад

Larnel is such a cool drummer. And a very expressive as well. I just love to listen to him both playing and teaching.

@itsDelfi Год назад

What's also insane is the editing of this video. GREAT job. Thank you!

@_hexes_ Год назад

His internal tempo is so good, he sings the beat and it lines up perfectly with what he played on the kit earlier haha. Truly a master of his craft

@quirkyviper Год назад

I knew next to nothing about drumming but through the first few levels it was starting to help me see different applications of the stuff he was talking about. Like I can hear some of the examples in those late night news talk shows, church services etc. That's so cool! I also love how it almost felt easier to explain stuff by making sounds than trying to put it into words at the higher levels 😄.

@Beedulgi99 Год назад

YES Larnell Lewis is hands down one of the most AMAZING drummers to listen to!!! AND he has an AWESOME way with words too!

@voldemortified 9 месяцев назад

Not only is he an absolutely amazing drummer, but he’s a PHENOMENAL teacher!! So rare to get those things together. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge Larnell, and nice job Wired for choosing him!! Also - everything else about this video is perfectly executed - the editing is fantastic, helpful, and informative, it’s well shot, the kit is perfectly mic’d so we can hear everything clearly, and the overall direction and flow of the video is perfect.

@coltonmykael Год назад

He's such a wonderful musician, educator and performer! Nothing but love for Larnell Lewis! If any percussionists are looking for recital pieces he composed a pieced called Slice for two snare drums, hi hat, and electronics. :) Happy practicing everyone.

@ThunderTaco206 Год назад

It is so dope to see Larnell on Wired! He is one of my favorite drummers of all time, and is an endless source of inspiration in my own playing. This is a massive W for y'all. And for us.
