What if you could have a second snare drum without increasing your kit size?
Larnell Lewis has more options built into his kit than the average drummer (which is fitting as he's far from average): one of his 'toms' is actually a hidden snare drum!
A trick learned from Sput Searight, Larnell's third tom is actually a 14x7 snare drum. When the snares are off, it sounds just like a tom.
The key to getting both a good tom and snare sound out of the same drum is to use a thicker batter head (Larnell uses an Evans hydraulic head, which is two plies with an oil layer) and a regular snare side head on the bottom. It's important to get the sensitivity on the bottom head just right. If it's too loose, you won't get a good snare sound. If they're too tight, you might get a weird rebound response.
Start tuning it loose and low - you should see creases when you press your hand in the center. Tune up in very small increments to get the wrinkles out. Then find a lug with the pitch you want, and adjust other lugs to match. If your kit is like Larnell's, you'll want this drum to be lower pitch than the second rack tom and higher than the floor tom. Make sure that when the snares are on, you don't have too much of an effect on the toms.
So why have two snare drums? If you want that 70s funk or Motown vibe, if you want to change snare sounds mid-song, or if you want to have more sound options mid-groove or fill, give this a two-in-one idea a try!

Guess we all need to start practicing major scales on our snares now 6:34
Ha! 😅😅😅 Thanks for watching. Love your videos BTW! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Ari Hoenig brought me to this conclusive understanding about 8 years ago.
@@LarnellLewisMusic 😂 Appreciate it man. Keep on killin!
I think it's time for you to make a snare drum out of a 16" floor tom. 👍
@Larnell Lewis Music @rdavidr do you think a hazy 200 reso could also work or is it to thin?
I don’t play drums but I like watching him explain things.
same
Haha same same same...
Same here 😂😂😂
There's something fascinating about watching people talk about their area of expertise with passion and eloquence even if you don't get it. I have no idea what he just said, but I feel fulfilled :)
Same with most of Adam Neely videos...
Same.
"What Snarky Puppy song is this?"
Larnell, we know what song it is, we all have it in our playlist.
😂
hahaha...ikr
@@DrumeoOfficial hehehe
Never heard of 'em
@@OrphansCorpse Then you have missed out on something truly great and you better go now check it out if you haven't already
The song is of course "What about me?" - my absolute favourite!
When i saw your comment i jumped quicly to my play list. Lol!
That low snare in the groove always popped for me. I thought it was just a floor tom 😂 so crazy
That song is insaneeee! Snarky puppy it’s out this planet
Awesome video. When is Dan Mayo coming in to explain his crazy set up?
Mine tooo
Larnell "It's just a vibe" Lewis

This outro groove is proof why Larnell is one of the coldest out there.
Suddenly I'm wearing mittens indoors
This dude is one of the best guests Drumeo has had. Super engaging. I could watch him play and listen to him drop knowledge (and encouragement) all day!
the guy probably thought he would encourage to play, not to watch :)
Larnell has lost a lot of weight! Well done brother👏🏾
I honestly have not recognised him right after the video started. It took me a while to readjust ;P
Thank you!
For real I noticed that and his hair looks so cool on him
@@LarnellLewisMusic Hi Larnell Mr. D. here. Glad for your success. I remember the jams we all had way back. You are always awesome! 👍🎸
He stopped laying down those sweet tasty jams and switched low cal more nutritious jams
Larnell is so knowledgeable and cool. I really do believe he's one of today's greatest.
Amazing vídeo as always
Agreed - thanks James!
That last beat with the hand on the main snare! Amazing.
This is the equivalent of Benny Greb giving away all his secrets for his floor tom sound
I believe the secret is coated resonant side head and with some cotton balls inside? Recall watching it in some interview somewhere lol
MARTIN LMAO Hahahaha
Wait, is there a resource on that?
Never clicked on a drumeo video faster. I’ve been waiting for this since I first heard What About Me? years ago! Thank you Larnell and Drumeo for an excellent educational video.
Finally!!!! I wanted this video since the last time he went to Drumeo
Cheers Jonathan!
I bought a "Sn-Om" IMMEDIATELY after talking to Mr. Lewis on jamcruise. This was years ago now. He credited Sput then too. What a nice guy and fantastic drummer. Thanks again for taking the time to chat with me.
Crazy coincidence. I bought a 14 x 8 snare today and that's exactly what I wanted to achieve with it. I just didn't know yet, which heads are best for this purpose. Now I see this video :D Really helpful!
This new group of musicians for this day and age is the only thing giving me hope in this wretched world
Out of all the videos drumeo could make this is the EXACT one I have been waiting for for about 4 months now. Thank you!!!!
I don't play but this is so interesting
Soo good to finally get heads and tuning info for this.
This guy is a great teacher. Seems like a great person, love the vibe! Just do you, but check this out!!!
Ego free drum community at its best. Thanks for keeping the vibe alive Larnell!
This is the drum nerdiness I've always needed
Every percussionist @ 7:51
"Am I a joke to you?"
Not even a drummer but Drumeo clips are a pleasure to watch. Larnell Lewis is a beast, his knowledge, musicianship, and communication skills are impressive.
Thanks so much!
Finally someone shows playing their SNOM as an actual tom too! It seems to fit in pretty perfectly actually, I don't notice less sustain really!
4:30 I didn't know Phil Collins was making a guest appearance
That'd be Phil Collins in his dreams, on steroids.
Larnell is one of my favorite drummers. I really like his style.
Mr. Lewis is one of my favorite modern drummers. Love his take on things and his willingness to educate others.
4:14 makes me so excited, awesome idea
I need this foot speed in my life. One of my favourite drummers. Love learning from Larnell. Right off to practice 😌
awesome! that beat to close the video combining playing the main snare with his hand and right sticking the tom snare and other accents was sweet
That setup was so cool and unic and the drum beats was really great
Yessss! The vid I‘ve waited for! Thank you! And the groove at the end!!! ❤️👍
Sput changed the game with this idea
Yes!! I've been looking for this since the first time Larnell did it on Drumeo, i've got that same exact drum so now i've got to try it, thank you for making this video
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!! I’ve asked for this specific video in EVERY Larnell Lewis video I’ve watched. And to do it in the Drumeo platform......... 💯💯💯
I am so excited for this! Can’t wait to try it out. Thank you Drumeo & Larnell for this! I can now play & die happy Tee-Hee ✌️😜
OMG that kit sounds amazing
"That last groove though". Wayne's World old school "we're not worthy"...for sure.. :-)
What a guy! Such a nice way of explaining and teaching
Great idea and the implementation is very well done!
This video is loaded full of useful information. Fantastic video!
This man is one of the greats! Can’t get enough of those greasy sweet grooves...
Great advice that would have saved me HOURS as I was setting mine up!
One tip when picking a drum for this: make sure the snare throw off has a long drop, otherwise you’ll have the snare wire jangling when you lay into it with snares off. I had to adjust mine (Mapex MPX) to where the adjustment knob is backed all the way down for off, and almost all the way up for on.
Thank you so much for this video !! I so love when you say that :
"Find the setup that is confortable for you ...
Find the sound that is confortable for you ....
Whatever what inspire you ... do it !
Take the time to explore .... and experience ...."
Larnell Lewis
That's so inspiring !
I love the way you share your techniques, your inspirations, so much feeling, it gives so much joy, desire to explore, to find new stuff, to live music from the heart !
Thanks :)
From now on, you are one of my favourite drummers.
What fabulous video! So many great suggestions. Thank you!
I have those exact same Firegrain sticks! Absolutely love the look and feel of the 5A pair
I was waiting so hard on that “What About Me?” reference
4:30 "I can feel it cooooming in the air tonight! Oh Looorrrdd!"
I'm an absolute beginner, although I've always had a love for playing the drums. Larnell Lewis is such a great inspiration to me! Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and I plan to set up just like Larnell when my skills build up.
love this kind of sharing knowledge...
thanks drumeo and larnell...
Cheers Ryuu!
Interesting and informative. Thank you.
0:40 Rock with you
Thank's for your lesson
Not only a master drummer, but also the consummate teacher. I love watching him teach
Love larnell lewis especially since the last time played a new track without hearing it
Thanks Drumeo, I bought a Tama 14x8 SLP steel snare a while back trying to replicate Larnell sound and this video was really helpful :)
Such a great drummer, teacher and speaker.
Larnell's the man.
Thanks for the info this is awesome! 👏🏼 didn’t know about the snare head on the bottom 👌🏼
Thanks. Totally new concept for me. 👍😊
Killer outro groove! The lesson for me is, try to incorporate and hear things that aren't 'normal' but perfectly serve the music you play and what you hear.
VERY VERY NICE LESSON Lewis👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i had this idea like 10 years ago but i have never seen anyone do it until now. Awesome
Thank U for all ur knowledge 🙏👍
Thanks for the secret! I can’t wait add this to my kit.
I use Evan’s Hydraulics on all of my toms... I just love the huge deep sound they make.
Iv'e been waiting for this
I play open handed and just bought a 14 x 8 snare for this reason. Really pumped to try it
musical, clear, eloquent, virtuous, sympatico........ ! nice!
Love this idea
I love the last beat that he is doing
Holy shit that jam at the end! So sick
God I just love Larnell Lewis. What a guy, he seems so friendly
Love this guy man, charming and fine musician
Beautiful
Watching these guys play on brand new coated heads looks so damn pleasing...
The Yamaha bop kit comes with a floor Tom snare hybrid. Amazing kit
Well I need this now
Cool genius...remain humble and inspiring Larnell
i have a 70s mahogany 14x8 premier snare and i was thinking of doing the exact same thing! oh the yt recommendations :) good to see it in use, but i thought i'm sooo groundbreaking for thinking about it Xd
The song is What About Me, obviously!
One of the most skilled, talented and musical drummers out there. For me the best!!
One of our absolute favorites as well!
@@DrumeoOfficial You should check out Manuel Reina, from my country, Spain.
The vibe of the outro is so damn good.
Larnell is such a great teacher. I'd love more videos or full courses with him.
Can anyone recommend a specific resonant head? He mentions certain ones to avoid but doesn't give examples for which would work well.
This commercial has me hooked. I want to experiment with one of these! This is a novel idea like the cymbal on the snare that Larnell, JT and Sput do. Love it!
Thanks, Joe!!!!!! Good to see you on here!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
This Guy!!- significantly influences my style and set up to the way i tune and even shop for drums. I went with a Tama Metal Works 6.5x14 black nickel snare with red Evans hydro. Snares off sounds like a full kinda earthy quick mounted 14 tom: snares on sounds like the snare from "Rock With You" I freakin LOVE!! Thanks for the tip Mr. Lewis
Larnell is just lovely on screen.
I love this guy.
Thanks for the tip lewis. 💪
Damn boy! This is SO good!
Great video man
Thanks Adam! 🙏
I only dream of having a tom sound like that
I love the way the Secondary snare sounds. I don't have one yet but I am considering having one as I grow and explore the drumming world.😅
I got an old pearl from an old begginers kit as my only thing, thinking about just adding that next to the floor tom. This might be epic I trust
What a legend!
The first one of these I watched was the Enter Sandman video and I was convinced it was a floor tom of a different colour. Never noticed that it was actually a snare. I like how he gets such a great sound out of such a low tuning with it as well.
Edit: Mike Mangini uses I think it's a 10' hybrid that doubles as a high pitched rack tom.
you just opened a door for me , that hand on the snare with snares off and a conga type sound yes thats cool thanks Larnell Lewis
One of the sickest drummers around
Dude the outro is sick af
It fits perfectly with the other toms, how is that even possible
That foot at the end tho!
