Larnell is my new drum hero. Discovered him as I really got into Snarky Puppy (the most amazing music available). He's a monster player, an incredibly nice and down to earth guy, and very smart and articulate in how he explains things. Just an all around amazing guy. Did I mention he's a monster drummer?
Here is a video index for all of you who only have time to watch a smaller portion of the video. Enjoy! 0:13 - Intro Track 5:41 - Jared Talk (blah blah blah) 7:35 - The Groove Builder 18:13 - Hybrid Drum Solo 23:37 - Hybrid Drum Lesson 42:24 - Larnell Track 49:43 - Q/A 1:01:06 - Larell Drum Solo
Drumeo Excellent! I'm considering using the Gen16s in a hybrid setup too. Do you know what size hi-hat Larnell used? Are they the 13" or 14" hi-hats? I ask because it is far easier to get the pack with the 14"s in the UK : ) Thanks! Andy
Just want to say thank you so much for providing these videos and getting these amazing drums to come in and not only play but share their vast knowledge of the instrument!
This guy has something many drummers on RU-vid and such don't have, that being style. (Their own sound) The dude has a great sound man, he has groove and solid pocket. Take notes RU-vid, this is how you groove! Nice job bro! And that usage of the bell to compliment those grooves, soooo nice! Finally someone uses the ride other than a crash cymbal. It is the best cymbal I own. Needs more recognition. A bell can drive a groove like no other.
GoyoLake Bell grooves are the best! My drum teacher uses them all the time. Look up I Will Not Bow or Dance with the Devil by Breaking Benjamin THAT elevates a song to new heights.
Oh my... Larnell, God bless you, and keep playing for Him. That last solo, right at the end, had me grinning ear-to-ear the whole time. Unbelievable stuff.
Larnell is AMAZING, expresses himself on the kit with such great passion. Saw him in London with Snarky Puppy a while ago and it was an out of this world experience watching and listening to him live.
Just incredible. Such musical and tasteful playing, every solo was special and memorable, not just chops flying around everywhere. Will definitely be watching and learning.
I just saw larnell for the first time last night with snarky puppy. I can hardly describe the magnitude of his talent. I highly encourage you see him play. It's truly inspiring.
New favorite drummer. Simply amazing. Larnell shows that you don't just need chops to be a good drummer. He can do it all and that puts him on a whole other level. Hybrid drumming was sick. Truly great drummer keep it up man.
Great great I am from Chile 'm playing drums 4 months ago and this gentleman Larnell Lewis and demaciado and agradesco learned to channel these possibilities that and Mr. Larnell Thank you and many blessings
some of the most useful and like tangible, easy to digest, easy to go do and things that are important and i think creativity is really the hardest for everyone or is something at least every one wants to be better in so one of the better lessons i feel like and i watch a lot of them, mostly for the live songs lol
bring him more he is simply amazing. best feel of them all If Larnell see this, can you do a metal song ? im very interested to see how you interact with other types of sounds.
Wow! This soooooooooo funky drum solo at the end, my god!!! I did not see the splash snare coming that way!!!! So smart. You guys at Drumeo are really cool and you Larnell ... no words. So talented and humble!
Larnell is soooo good at playing inside and around in addition to with the music. When you mix the drums louder than they would be in say, a session, the drums are so loud they don't mix/blend as smoothly. The song at the beginning seemed to have the drums riding over the music instead of blending in.
Guys, are you hearing that? 0:51 THAT is exactly what you have to achieve as a drummer, being able to play a straight four beat consistently, with groove and musicality. Believe it or no, you can develop an awesome technique on double bass druming at 200 bpm, in example, but if you get those notes down, you will have done a major step in your drumming
FANTASTIC LOOK at and LISTEN to the PASSION of This Great Drummer and JAROD FALK SUCH GREAT GREAT DRUMMERS DEDICATED It Does My Heart GOOD to see Were The Direction of Drumming Going Its in Very Very Good Hands with these Young Lions Man These Young Cats are KILLER GOD BLESS THEM
I agree to that I never seen those kind of cymbals like that anywhere but his playing is out standing He makes my day watching all his drumming videos on here from drumeo :)
You are a super talented drummer Larnell not that you need to hear that to be confirmed. This should if there is any doubt put things straight. Love your stroke, weight of bass drum and snap of snare, Talented and always have been way before snarky and that is a great gig! I personally love this roots and gospel in you that cannot be denied. Looks good on you and look forward to a lot more! Also great o see a great man /human strike gold as said you deserve it. Canadians, have some talent!
Nice drumming Larnell you killed it. nice dynamics.. the face on the t shirt he is putting on is the face of Fela Anikulapokuti the originator of AFROBEAT
I really like this 2 bar improv/repeat method of creating new phrases. Benny Greb explores this concept as well on his Language of Drumming DVD, Benny Greb: Improvisation Lesson
+cool okay... know i get it, the good sound is a mix od acoustic plus sample from tge eletronic hats blended together, hearing only gen 16 by others vídeos doensn t seem for me being that good
Think about making some Drumeo towels to give to the drummers when they play in the studio. This the second or third video I've seen the guys using t-shirts or paper towels. Just a thought, Drumeo is amazing. Rock on!
