This dude is amazing. The cleanliness in his playing almost makes you forget this is improvised.
Insanely clean.
Is this really improvised?
Yup. I thought the rim shots were a click track
Are you kidding me?! This is improv?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱
@@DrumeoOfficial Improvised? Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts by Manowar. Drum solo at 7:45. Released in 1992.
Saw “Larnell Lewis” clicked fast! No need to think about it
Same
Yes of course
Same here
That makes 46 of us
HAHAHA Same! Larnell + 6 hours ago -> Click
Larnell is freaking awesome! but also props to the person who miced the set and mixed the audio, it sounds just beautiful!
Thanks!
facts
Was thinking the same thing after I put my headphones in and got lost in this beauty
In an age where so many drummers are treating drums like a sport, Larnell treats drums like a musical instrument.
sport and music have a lot in common.
I agree. It's basically why I find Larnell's drumming intoxicating and Thomas Lang's to be lifeless noise.
@@Johnbobon Haha, I actually like Lang's playing most of the time. It's the endless gospel chops or blast beat guys I can't dig. Lol
@@ThePoorBoy I was a bit harsh. Thomas Lang obviously has ability far exceeding most. Far beyond me, no doubt.
@@Johnbobon But I still enjoy Larnell's playing more! Thomas is great, but Larnell is brilliant -- I think he may even possess some genius.
"Larnell Lewis sits behind a drumkit in silence for 12 minutes."
Me: *watches all 12 minutes, likes, re-watches*
"so open, such space"
😂😂😂😂😂
HHahahaha 100%
.... and each time we learn something new.
Kkkkkkkkkkk
The finesse, the subtlety, the dynamics, the feel, the smoothness and the skill is almost unreal
So much more than just how fast or how hard, how loud or the number of drums in your spread.
This man brings musicality and makes the drums become a melodic instrument.
Larnell you are a truly God blessed and God gifted drummer🙏🏾
Those single kick doubles are so clean
There's such a narrative arc to this drum solo and I can't stop listening.
Drums aren't just noise.
These tom sounds are 🔥
This guy is the definition of dynamics
This man up with the best drummers of all time, he is a gift, can play anything, but his jazz is something else. I would have loved to have heard him and Monk play together, that would have been just too far out for words
This feels more like a song than a solo. Just greatness.
Oh man, I've never heard anything quite like this as a drum solo, and I can't really say that often any more. In fact, I refuse to call this a drum solo. It's a song. It's a story. It's someone dynamically sucking you into a tale.
The City Lights solo, The live crowd version, is just astounding
Probably the most interesting and inspiring drummer to watch in the last 10 years.
When Larnell plays it’s like you keyed all the notes into a computer program. Every stroke, every accent…..it all hits 100% perfectly in time. So sick.
I feel like I havent ever seen Larnell perform a free solo like this, it's truly beautiful to see his musicality on full display
This is beautiful. I'm not a drummer, so I don't have the language to describe what I enjoy about it. However I am an avid listener and the drums are my favorite instrument to listen to, especially at the hands of someone like Larnell.
But reading others' comments makes me realize his playing "reads", his playing is understood to listeners whether or not they have the language to describe what they enjoy about it. After reading others' comments I can discern that what the most experienced drummer appreciates in their listening is also what a person who has never touched a drum set appreciates. And that accesibility is not a given, that's a skill, and that's true Art-at least, it's the kind of Art that I believe in.
Perfect video to test headphones, so crisp and powerful!!! Sound engineering at it's best!!!
Wow!
I like how at 5:13 he plays the melody on the drums, then repeats the same melody but on the cymbals, which was also the same melodic motive from the middle of the video! Incredible musical development, let alone technical skill.
Thank you Drumeo for introducing me to Larnell. It’s always inspiring to see this absolute monster play the set.
I felt that when he put the stick in his mouth and rolled with one hand. It gave me goosebumps
Yeah that's right... 🥁
How do you even do that?
He should have a course on single hand roll
@@harryheard8772 gravity rolls I think, but good luck trying to get them this clean and getting the whole thing to be smooth as that
Freehand One Hand Roll was made Popular by Johnny Rabb and he Has tons of Videos
The Man. Period. Full stop.
Thank you for this Drumeo cause we all know that Larnell does his thing on every track
Very welcome!
Larnell kills it again. Fantastic.
Man... that was something else. Just so smooth, clean, gentle and precise.
He meditates while playing. every time something different .Medicine for my ears.👍
Artistry at its finest
This man is so smooth he gives Dolphins a run for their money
🐬
😂
He's a true musician, not just a drummer.
5 seconds in, already know it's gonna be epic!!!!!!
This is unreal. a proper player!
I saw Larnell Lewis and clicked. But most impressive, are all the AFRICAN ROOTED rythms and styles I spotted in this piece. The personification of the talking drum.
This man is the best musician drummer !!!!!
His eyes at 0:39... Our Man Larnell has gone off to that special place, see you in another 5 minutes.
Like the journey in sound that takes us where the drummer may go you sir have taken us there.
Perfect for a movie!
His drumming is so colourful and mesmerising.
I love when he pauses in between phrases. It makes me feel like he's almost human!
This was insanely delicate, I'm used to drum solos being mostly energetic and fierce. Also I couldn't believe this was improvised
He makes the drums sing 😍
This is what precision meets art looks like holy mother of God.
This is about as good as it gets. Dude is savage!
Great musician
Great musician
I see Larnell Lewis, I like, I watch 50 times, and I always pick my jaw up off the floor.
"I paid for the whole drum kit, so I'm gonna use it"
"OO" jaw on floor. Pure poetry.
The best of the best
One of my favourite drummer😍😍 thankyou drumeo for this
Very welcome :)
Definition of a master pro! Always enjoy seeing Larnell Lewis killing it!
Incredible drummer.
Larnell is dynamic. Period.
Show! The best. Top 👍🏼!! From Brazil
Poetry in Motion.
this was published on my birthday. an epic birthday gift indeed.
How am I only just realizing he's Canadian. As if I could love him more, now we got national pride in the mix? Hot damn.
Larnell Lewis is my favorite drummer now. I used to be mesmerized by “the wrong things” when it came to drums, but after listening to Larnell play so much I now see what it means to play musically.
Huge fan of Larnell Lewis💯❤️
Could listen to him play all day.
@@DrumeoOfficial every day i watch the video of his cover to the song of Chicks pain because it was so awesome that i always set it as background song while im working
The Maestro that is Larnell Lewis...amazing talent who makes me aspire to be better each time I sit behind my kit.
Excellent and beautiful on so many levels. Feel, technique, inventiveness, dynamics, narrative flow...Bravo and thank you, Mr. Lewis.
This is just.......... There are no words
His kit and his cymbals just sound so damn good too.
What genre is that solo? Oh, that's easy. It's jazzlatinfunkhiphopr&bfusionprogboprockgospelswing, of course...
Yes
Larnell Lewis IS the genre 😍
In complete control the entire time 👌🔥🔥
incredible. what a talent
What can you say...simply brilliant
Absolute pleasure! Thank you Larnell and Drumeo
Electroacustic music!
Woaw !!! So much technic, groove and mastering his craft Just to express his musicality and his feelings !!! My jaw was ready and drop Anyway !!! Thx drumeo !! Thank you larnell !!!
there's so much going on and most of it flies over my head. even then, it's still a beautiful subtle piece of music.
INCREDIBLE! PURE MELODY AND MUSICALITY
No one like Larnell Lewis man!
I love this drum solo
Awesome!
I love how he takes us with him rhythmwise soooo smooothly. My brain literally clicks in polyrhythm.
Butterrrrrr 🧈 🔥
Every stroke of this dude is art.
My favorite 😍
ONE WORD - SPECTAULAR !
one of my favourite drum solos ever
Breathtaking talent and what a sound!
Larnell sounds like 3 808 machines working in harmony. Damn!
That was like nothing I’ve ever heard before...amazing!
Phenomenal!
Awesome!!! Give to this man a golden drum🔥🔥🔥
Unreal!
There are almost too many things to like in this solo, but I'll point to the one that stood out the most (to me) while also being the most under-stated: the imperfection. There are a number of short moments when the improvised solo broke - the groove fell apart for half a second, or something didn't get hit in time, or there was otherwise a small hiccup... The way these were USED to create something new was just awesome. I've been playing for a while, and I'm positive most experienced drummers understand the concept - but being able to execute it to great creative effect - THAT is what stood out to me here. Thanks Larnell and Drumeo...
ps. the sound of that kit and the cymbals. Hats off to the recording engineers and drum techs...
Fantastic!
Best in the whole business💘💘💘
Love the dynamics in the rim shots. Good feel and flavor. Well played
My favorite modern drummer!!!
Unbelievable playing as always! And that kit….man oh man! 😍
Masterful. So intricate, and not a note wasted
Larnell really turns a kit into such a musical instrument. It's unparalleled
Just, wow.
Artistic
Crisp
Clean
Raw talent
He makes love to the drums.
So gooooood 🥁
Just waiting fo the next larnell video in Drumeo....
So blessed to have this channel to don't stop seeing larnell play.
You guys are doing a tremendous work, many thanks and blessing for you and Larnell!!!!
Dynamics 💥⚡🙌
My man Larnell is on another level! One of the best solos I've heard in a long time!
