  • At 28 years old, Larnell makes his debut appearance at Drumeo. Even then he sounded like he had a lifetime of experience under his belt; his chops are incredible and his feel is AMAZING.
    Larnell Lewis is now a staple in the drumming world and a legend in the drumming community. His work with Snarky Puppy speaks for itself. He has taught beginner drummers around the world and has influenced so many others with his presence online.
    In this video, we dive deep into Larnell's setup, his gear, and, most importantly, his playing. If you are just starting out on the drums then this is the perfect place to start. This is the beginning of Larnell's journey and could be the beginning of yours as well.
    If you like this video and want to see some of his recent videos we HIGHLY recommend you check out the videos linked below. They will blow your mind! Larnell was incredible then, he's exceptional now.

  • @westoneuler4065

    Idk why everyone hates on gen16 like I love them. With an electric kit having these would look sooooooo much better than having rubber disks all over the place. That's just me though.

    Larnell is my hero! So fun to watch! He's inspired me to want to continue progressing, and using Drumeo to do that. Drumeo membership is definitely worth it! I'm loving it. Thanks for including Larnell in your instructor arsenal. I use an E-kit and need to get some acoustic cymbals like this cause I'm just using the E-cymbals with my kit.

    @Jellybeantiger 10 років тому +26

    This is the first vid where I start to believe in electronic drums.
    You can still hear the machine gun effect in fast fills though dam it.
    Great drummer.

    • @SamNaborsDrums
      @SamNaborsDrums 10 років тому +10

      You need to hear these drums going through a VST program like Superior Drummer or Addictive Drums..there is no machine gun effect.

    • @thebarak
      @thebarak 9 років тому +4

      I have Yamahas. DTX700 module. I cannot get any "machine-gun effect" to happen even in the tightest press-roll buzz-rolls possible, it just sounds like a real drum all the time. No problems at all. And I hear no such thing in this video either. What exactly are you calling machine gun here and at what 00:00 time do you hear it?

    • @Panufo
      @Panufo 9 років тому +1

      thebarak At 4:30 it sounds pretty machine gun-ny to me. Superior drummer pretty much eliminates that. Future's bright!

    • @thebarak
      @thebarak 9 років тому

      Panufo Thanks. It must be something I am just unable to hear. I am not finding it.

    • @whitebaer3034
      @whitebaer3034 8 років тому

      +Panufo +Jellybeantiger +Sam Nabors There's a chance that the triggers and sensitivity and so on aren't set up properly, on the high end drum kits made by Roland and Yamaha there is very little machine gunning

  • @FightersGeneration13
    @FightersGeneration13 11 років тому

    Insanely good lesson, such feel, timing, perfection and sheer heart - all of which draws from imagination. Another breath-taking drummer, another great video (it's nice to see a full lesson back on UA-cam!) and it's nice to see accomplished drummers like Jared and Dave be jealous of another accomplished drummer. Keep it up!

    I met Larnell and watched him perform with the jazz band instructor of my school, which is about an hour from Toronto. He is without a doubt one of my biggest drumming inspirations! Thank you Jared and the rest of the crew at freedrumlessons for putting this video on youtube! Just what I really need, a "free" drum lesson from Larnell Lewis lol

    This lesson was amazing! Really cool gear as well! I love all the lessons on drumeo, but I'm hoping to see more live lessons regarding swing and jazz drumming. I'm having a really hard time grasping the concept of snare chatter and keeping the same groove moving through the entire song. :(
