    One of the best things personally about doing all these reaction vids is that I am forced to watch things I wouldn't normally take the time to see. It's been so rewarding.
    I have to say. The fact the views are down on this and the previous Gergo vid make me kinda sad.
    People are SERIOUSLY missing out!
    This is what a world class musician looks/sounds like.

      My suspicion is that you have a lot or metal drummer aficionados who don't really appreciate drummers out of that genre. It is unfortunate. As Larnell himself said in a previous video, we should listen to all sorts of music because we can learn new things by doing so. I'm an example. I seldom listen to metal but because of this channel I've learned to appreciate the power, stamina and virtuosity of some of these high level drummers. That said, Larnell rules!!!

    • @TheMeatballMen

      This video definitely does deserve more views. I had never heard of this musician before but I watched it since you posted it!
      And I ADORED it. This man is amazing... such masterful connection to the music
      So there's maybe something to be happy about ^_^

      Thanks so much for sharing your insights. Many people don't realize/understand the world of musical percussionists. There is so much more than "drumming", out there. Exposure is the key. Thanks again.

    Not often one says "beautiful" when it comes to drumming....Larnell makes me say that often. Perhaps my favourite video so far. Loved this.

    He's pretty much following the piano on every hit with the bass drum during the solo. Impressing.

    As a drummer of 50 years I don't enjoy listening to a most solos, but I like this one with the vamping. Helps keep the drummer contained within an understandable context, which I found very listenable, especially liked that long pause. Haven't seen that before. Having said this it should come as no surprise that In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is my favorite solo.

    I love this drum solo. He's definitely an incredible drummer and musically delightful to listen to. I'm still awaiting the Tosin Abasi / Larnell Lewis / Jacob Collier jazz fusion album.
    Also, your comments at 6:50 speak about negative space, not just in visual arts but in all sense perception. We interpret negative space not as being space that is void of content, but space that is void of expected content; which includes filling that space with similar colors or sounds. Instead of filling space with the expected, try filling the space with nothing. Nothing has a lot of substance in art.

    Hooboy...if I'm not mistaken, he's soloing over the vamp in an 11/8. Or as a mixed meter which alternates 6/8 and 5/8? Soooo tastefully played and awesome, as always.
