The comment the Larnell is "just a musician" is spot on! Not only does he play the piano, but he is also an accomplished bassist. A true multiple threat musician!
As previously mentioned, the percussionist in this video is the GREAT Nate Werth. He and fellow founding Snarky Puppy member drummer Sput Searight (here playing keyboards with the brown sweater, shades, and long braids) created the Ghost Note Band (Zildjian's house band) with bassist Mono Neon as a side project. If you pay close attention, you'll see that everything he does compliments Larnells playing. Nate is a BEAST... and one of my favorite percussionists. Thanks for the reaction video. It's really cool to see someone who KNOWS what he is talking about and appreciate what he sees critique one of the best drummers in the business!
Larnell Lewis is one of my favorite drummers. He's right where he belongs. Right up there with all of the greats these days. He can play anything fantastically. One of the things that I love most about him is that he seems to be as great of a human being as he is a world class musician. Congratulations Larnell!!!
he actually hits the wing nuts of the cymbals during his solo as an effect. so mindblowing. And Sput (drummer of snarky puppy) playing on the keys orchestrating the whole band. Just amazing, the musical skill in that room. sput plays ridiculously good on the drums, but he‘s playing the keys in every zildjian video!
I mean, he doesn't just play keys on the songs, he has either written or arranged every song they played on Zildjian live, most of the songs played he wrote himself. Sput is a amazing musician and a legend in the music scene.
Eyyyy it’s the prodigy kid drummer (Justin Wilson II) at 15:40!! So cool for him to see Larnell (and Sput, even though on keys here) play, up close! ❤️🥰
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Have they not stopped in Auckland on their travels? I've seen Snarky twice, and Ghost Note (the "backing" band in this vid), at the Wellington Jazz Fest over the last few years... Maybe you need to live in a more cultured city ;) @Phil Find a way to make it happen... Snarky Puppy are mind-blowing live!
I am so happy....all of you musicians were BORN, I really do. I love you guy's parents, for birthing such amazing musician specialists into this mundane world of hell. Life became tolerable from just experiencing this intricate musicianship and master class contribution. I don't understand why music does to the brain and spirit as it does. But I NEED it and can't balance out my life without it. It's another language another form of LOVING someone if thee creators want it to be. For my mental health.....please stay safe and healthy.
If i were to try and sum up Larnells greatness it is because he has done his homework as a musician, he has learned what works and what doesnt in any given situation and how to reference other great drummers when needed. And he has learned how to convey all kinds of emotion from behind the drums, he can add humor, suspense, humility, etc all while being able to keep musicians and non musicians intrigued simultaneously. Simply, he knows how to tell a story on the drums.
Larnell is a pleasure as always. And the entire group!!! So Tight! This is when I love music the most! A group of musicians in tune with each other!!! Cannot be better.
Prof. Dr. Mr. Pocket himself with a great band who accompany him. Thanks for reacting to one of my favourite Larnell studio/live tracks! Very amusing on my lunch break.
I wasn't kidding about those damn 'Temptations' either. Slightest shake of that bag and I can hear Moneypenny trotting down the hallway. Then I get assaulted in seconds.
Ohhh my god Roonoo, straight to the top of the charts for me, to see the smiles of joy from the audience and the band was an absolute pleasure, gonna have to check more of it out, top knotch as always mate, keep it coming, much love, London drum massive 👍🥁
No one gets more stank faces out of me than Larnell, he’s such a pleasure to watch. And so inspiring too, I immediately want to jump on my kit after watching him
13:47 Anyone else notice the slick hi-hat work on this? Sliding his drumstick along the edge to make a reverse sound on it. Absolutely genius orchestration.
Been watching your vids for a while now and it's always nice to find people that get excited about music like this. This is the best channel for this type of content in my opinion. Well done, and I'm looking forward to more content! Especially if it has Larnell in it ;D
Some of these Zildjian lives are just ridiculous!!! Larnell, Pridgen, Gergo, Aaron, etc are all so inspiring to watch. Have you watched the Snarky Puppy video for “Binky”, its a slightly older song with Sput on drums and the last groove they play on that tune is, in my opinion, one of the most important grooves to be created in the last 10-20ish years A must watch!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Yepp, Larnell is great as always. But the band is a big part of this performance. Their timing is flawless. It can't be easy to keep track during that drumsolo 😅
Wow. Changing the tone? At 13:55 Or pitch? No note? And that rhythmic craze wonder? Oh. Just wow. And your comments over? Just so so informed. Thank you from the Rockies 🇨🇦 for enlightening our musical experience
Massive hematoma on my jaw after it dropped to the floor. Just sitting here going "What? W H A T ?". Love your videos, love the content, holy cr*p... Some of the stuff he does should be impossible, and possibly illegal. The band is ridiculous, as well. Wow. Just... Wow.
Great video, as always. As a side note, I had two cats (calico and muted calico) and temptations were pure cocaine to them. Not the yellow bag as much as the blue though. Don't ask me what flavor they were. Friskies did nothin' for 'em. Temptations or bust.
People leave dislikes for a number of reasons (maybe getting too much jazz fusion in their feed, so they're tuning their recommendations, etc.) The good news for UA-camrs is, it has zero bearing on your recommendation ranking. It counts as an engagement whether liked or disliked.
We have Dreamless in the UK....and catnip which used to get my British Blue (Flumpy, RIP) high as a kite! Ms Moneypenny is very cute! Is she a blue tortie?
The cat I have now does not like Tentation Treats. My cat will only eat crunchy treats without the soft middle. The bass player used to be Prince's bass player. The band is Ghost Note. It is Pridgon's band. He left Snarky Puppy to Larnell Luis. Too bad more people did not like the video. Jazz is very controversial and not main stream.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums (I had cats who liked these Temptation Cat Treats: I think you're right - there's something in them that my cats loved, but they were beginning to not want to eat anything else, and they were getting ill from them! I stopped buying them!) Thanks for posting this video!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums difficult choice as the styles are so different... but I might have to go with Gavin. But only because he’s from just down the road from where I sit now...

You can hear it instantly :)
Wow - plays 3 instruments!
Just so awesome to see how Nate adds to the quick latin vibe!! He is such a percussion genius!!!
He sure is!
Yes yes. Incredible

Larnell is one of those people who prove that it's possible to be better at something than you ever thought was physically possible.

@@alstartheman true. it doesn't get much better than Sput & Co.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 13:56, right after you said woah!, lol.
That’s a master musician right there. When you watch him play you know you’re watching something special.
100% Vic!

Larnells in his happy place. And he's making us happy. Love that british short hair btw. Thank you for the best part of the day Andrew.
Glad you enjoyed it. Larnell always killin' the biz!
It's now on my bucket list to see Snarky Puppy live, hopefully with Larnell
Me too Phil!

Brilliantly said Charlie!
Larnell is amazing, of course. I seriously love MonoNeon's bass playing here, too.
Killer rhythm section Mike!
If I could play just ONE song like Larnell does, I'd die a happy man.
I just had Larnell in my theatre with a jazz trio and it was one of the greatest gigs I’ve ever had in our space. Amazing
Percussionist Nate Werth 👌💥 shout out ! Killing it
Thanks Tobias. He's a bad dude!
Snarky Puppy's Secret Weapon!
Larnell is a pleasure as always. And the entire group!!! So Tight! This is when I love music the most! A group of musicians in tune with each other!!! Cannot be better.
Crushing it as hard as anything's ever been crushed
The production is off the charts as well.
Wow, what an arrangement. Call it Fusion, call it Jazz Fusion... I call it masterful musicianship. 👏
i dont even care that ill never be as good as him... he is such a pleasure to watch.. he is an absolute lunatic on the kit!!
Prof. Dr. Mr. Pocket himself with a great band who accompany him. Thanks for reacting to one of my favourite Larnell studio/live tracks! Very amusing on my lunch break.
Good to hear you dug it!
You should hit up Larnell Lewis and ask if he would be up for an interview or something. Might be cool.
That'd be great!
Larnell seems like a cool guy, I bet he would happily do it
That would be an awesome interview! He is such a wholesome musician. What a gift
He always be happy while he plays drum he is so good
LEGEND!
He’s just an experience and it leaves you inspired every time.

Amazing sound quality to these Zildjian performances.
Yup. They are all insane

The the lug hits. Ooouuu smoothhhhhhh
This was the first video of Larnell I had ever seen when I came across it a while back - hyped to see it on the channel! So much groove 🤍
Hope you enjoyed it! Larnell always amazes me
Larnell makes me feel inspired to start learning or what's the point at the same time
We have them in the UK, they're called Dreamies here though and I can confirm the effect the kitty-crack has
YES!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums also are you aware that the black headed drum in his toms is actually a snare drum?

"an honour just to listen to". That may well say it all -- beautifully put.

A must watch!!!
I'll check it out.
Yeah this video series is absolutely rediculous. I need to see all of em
Holy shit, now THAT is one tight band! Larnel is the man, awesome bass player to!
Yup Simon. Tight band alright!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Yepp, Larnell is great as always. But the band is a big part of this performance. Their timing is flawless. It can't be easy to keep track during that drumsolo 😅
the percussionist is called Nate Werth. another incredible player
Monster! Thanks Tom
If you like Nate, you should check out his and Sput’s band Ghost Note.
Which is the band Larnell and the other Zildjian artists are playing with in the Zildjian Live! series.
Larnell killed it but the Ghost note guys playing with him are tight AF really talented group they are !! And mono neon on bass loved it
Sounds sooo good. Larnell's solo Epic. I never heard a drummer change so often the Rhythem in a solo. That sounds awesome.
Astonishing, incredible, loved this.
Wow. Changing the tone? At 13:55 Or pitch? No note? And that rhythmic craze wonder? Oh. Just wow. And your comments over? Just so so informed. Thank you from the Rockies 🇨🇦 for enlightening our musical experience
Drums , Coffee , Lewis , You and your Cat ! Now I've seen it all . Keep bringing us great reactions 😊😁
Thanks Wade. I'll try and get Moneypenny in on future videos but she's very aloof
Fun fact, it’s impossible to watch Larnell Lewis without having a stank face on
It fucking is
This is true Max
Or mono neon
Hahahaha! Dang right! 😂
My face everytime he plays is like 😖
Wtf is stank face?
Woo! Suggested this forever ago and I’m so hype it’s finally here.

Love your Larnell reaction vids 😊
Couldn't be happier that you're doing this specific vid. 100k of those views are me
I can't get enough of Larnell at the moment. It's listening to an artist and a master at that!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums absolutely man. He also got me introduced to Mononeon. What an interesting guy
The man is a genius!
LOVE your cat, man!!! She's cute as heck!!!
That's Miss Moneypenny Nathaniel. Very spoilt kitty
now this is fire
Yes Carlo!
I fell in love with type of music when I first heard Spyro Gyra back in the early 70's
That was the smoooooothest like and sub I have ever seen
💪
in Scotland they're called Dreamies :) same design/packaging, just different name. My cat (Thundercat) is a fan ;)
🥁☕️🐱💯
He loves music. And you didn't notice the moment where he hits the lugs.
Gergo’s Zildjian live is pretty freakin’ sweet too!
Incredible
that kitty treat bag is exactly the same brand and flavor I often get for my cat... all the way up here in Canada
I can hear Moneypenny trotting down the hallway at the slightest shake of that damn bag
Love the FOTC-shirt! 🥰
Haha! Awesome David :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Oh, and the video, and your other videos. And Larnell’s drumming. Thank’s Andrew!!!
Disliking a video also tells UA-cam you don't want to get more recommendations like this.
THAT GUY IS MAD.... LOVE IT ALL OVER .
Larnell needs to have quality musicians in the band to keep up with him otherwise the song wouldn’t sound as good as it does. They were really good.
They sure are!
The whole song sounded like a tube from a custom Mario kart track haha, it would work so well!
Woah nice shirt dude. Flight of the Conchords
Murray. Present.
HAHAHA
Great video, as always.
As a side note, I had two cats (calico and muted calico) and temptations were pure cocaine to them. Not the yellow bag as much as the blue though. Don't ask me what flavor they were.
Friskies did nothin' for 'em. Temptations or bust.
Yup we use temptations every night for some entertainment! HAHA
Love the shirt
Did you catch when he uses the wing nuts on his cymbals so cool.
Larnell is a monster. He is an incredible drummer. I would put him up against any drummer in the world.
Miss Moneypenny is as cute of a cat as Larnell Lewis is as amazing of a drummer.
Yup! HAHA
Nice shirt andrew!
Murray... Present.
You should watch the drum only part. he changes the Stick clean.
The percussionist is Nate Werth!
Miss Moneypenny can't resist the 'Temptations' Mr. Bond.
😂👌

Love to see you react to his latest Drumeo Metallica video! Cheers Andrew from the UK
I'm sure I'll get to it Daniel!
Really enjoying your vids! You coined the phrase earlier: does Larnell classify as a "super drummer" in your book, Andrew?
HELL YES!
He's one of my absolute fave drummers!
Good to know! Looking forward checking out more of your work this year
The best part is when he hits the cymbal clamps at 13:55
Those poor sticks! LOL
We have Dreamless in the UK....and catnip which used to get my British Blue (Flumpy, RIP) high as a kite!

Seems like it's back to "business time" hehe
HE TAPPED THE LUGS MID SOLO 13:56
Did you ever reacted on Thomas Lang..?really..you should..you'll be stunned.. :) ;)
I heard he was filling in for someone on this and only had 7 hours to learn the music on the flight
Thats the story on the We Like It Here live album from Snarky Puppy. This here is one of is own songs, Change My Mind, with Ghost Note accompanying
Dude. Where can I get that Flight of the Conchords shirt!?
Kitty
🥁☕️🐱
@@AndrewRooneyDrums btw, We have Temptations over here in the US too, and my cats will mug me if they hear the bag crinkle even a little bit.
Andrew, did you catch what he did with the hi-hat at 13:47? Never seen anything like that.
What's he using for sticks? Titanium? His cymbals look ready to explode!
I hate this type of music, but I listen to these clips over and over simply because the musicianship is out of this world. 👍🏽
Subscribed. @AndrewRooneyDrums Please check out Thomas Pridgeon's Zilldjian Live! set. Larnell even makes a stank face lol. Blistering.
Chris Coleman - Go 🙏 😌
I'll get there!
I recognize Mono, Nate and Sput. Who's on keys and guitar?
Gran Turismo Music!
Ive stop, rewound, slow-motioned 9:58 and I still cant figure out how he did that.

Wonder what planet larnell is from cuz it ain't this one. He's an absolute alien!!
You are allowed to wear sunglasses inside if you are that cool
Nicko mcbrain has his bass batter head just past finger tight,the drummer in this isn't bad bit more practice and I can see doing well for himself lol
