My reaction to hall of fame drummer Dennis Chambers playing Schism from Tool after one listen! ua-cam.com/video/Dy_5UZuYiSI/v-deo.html
Drummers are a special breed, i'm just blown away how he executed that. I feel drummers are so underrated in music over the years with the rise of drum machines etc. I just love a great drummer.
You're so right. I feel like drummers got a bad rep after Keith Moon and John Bonham raised all hell. The image of mad men on the skins seemed to dominate the assessment...
Then the drum machine came along - just think, no other musician had their career threatened that way. There's a midi piano but it's never going to automate piano playing. The electric guitar didn't change the fundamental need to know how to play. Yet the drum machine genuinely replaced a band member for a solid decade in pop. (You could argue synths were artificial strings and horns...)
A really great drummer is a phenomenal addition to the sound of the artist they accompany. A bad drummer ruins a gig in minutes. Yet a mediocre or good one largely goes unnoticed such that even an excellent one doesn't get widespread acclaim.
And if you have ever played in a band with a not so good drummer before, it makes you appreciate the really good ones out there more....
Definately underated.most of the good drummers are keeping the band's timing tight.like clockwork 💜💜
Everything presents its own challenges but to me drums have always proved to be the most challenging in pretty much every way imaginable
He missed the one shot, and it was the shot he said he'd miss. An expert knows what they don't know now, and what they're not going to know later. Larnell Lewis does not know the song, hasn't seen the video, doesn't know that goes with the truck. If he did, he'd have nailed it.
The man has AMAZING talent.
I checked out some of his work with Snarky Puppy and he blew me away that's for sure!
I don’t know who, but somebody gets bumped from my top 5 drummers. I can’t get enough of Larnell. Brilliant musician.
You get bumped in the comments section? Yes he is amazing. I love your posts Steve!
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar oh no, i was saying my top 5 drummers list got shuffled when i came across Lewis. i had to bump somebody down to make room for him.
That was great! Also hilarious that the one spot he missed was the one he said he was going to miss.
lol. Check out his playing in Snarky Puppy if you get a chance. :) Happy sunday my friend, I really appreciate you watching and commenting :)
Thank you for putting Larnell on my radar. I ordered all the music he has on his website and I’m tracking down the Snarky Puppy albums now too….probably my new favorite living musician!
That is awesome Kris and you are welcome. Larnell is so amazing, it's almost like he is playing a wicked game on drums....
I much prefer Snarky’s original drummer, Sput Searight. But obviously Larnell is no slack! Definitely check out their earlier works. Much more intricate and progressive during those early days for them.
I am someone who had never heard the song until watching Larnell play it. I was never exposed to that genre of music and as an adult I listen to what my parents listened to.
He is amazing!
Agree. I didn't know it.
Guy is a freaking beast! To have only heard the song ONCE, no rehers, no additonal playback or follow-along practice. Mind blowing!
Some people are just blessed.... Freaks of nature...
This is so far outside of my wheelhouse music-wise that I can't even comment on the song choice and accuracy... but I know talent when I see it and this guy has it by the bucket-load.
To see him adjust his glasses in the middle of it all just shows you how the brain is wired differently for the best guys. So much spare capacity. All those hours of practice coming to the fore.
It made me think of how something like a Band Aid or Farm Aid or Prince's Trust concert comes together... Back in the day when someone like Phil Collins would sit in on drums for the whole evening, Eric on guitar, Greg on keys... They'd need to do something similar for each song over perhaps a day of rehearsal prep. Just spellbinding that they can do it - but also knowing that if errors occur they have enough experience to make it work.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I know I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
Don't even get me started on Phil Collins, was a big fan of his drumming in the earlier Genesis days :)
This gentleman has such a gift and humble too as you say the drummer is the force of the band and when a drummer is on point,You can't beat it snarky puppy is insane
Its a joy to see a band bouncing off eachother and having a blast.Keep up the great reviews and the journey you are taking us on.Awesome 🙂
My good friend Taurrean.... thank you so much! :)
That was such a good watch. Some people are just talented...takes me all my time to remember simple blues tunes...😀
If you get a chance to check out his playing with Snarky Puppy Ed
Dang he's awesome. And what a good ear and memory he has🥁
He is amazing that's for sure :)
lol! I'd have to listen to it more than once.
I find the older I get the harder it is to remember pieces of music exactly. It seemed so much easier in my 20's
I say that this guy nailed it perfectly.
He is a force of nature on the kit, that is for sure! Check out his work with Snarky Puppy :)
It wasn't quite perfect to the original, but what he did do when he missed still fit perfectly! Mind blowing after one listen though!
You need to react to Larnell Lewis Zildjian Live with Ghost Note!!!! It is unbelievable.
wow! Larnell is not playing around with anyone. Loved it
He sure is amazing!
“Still open hihats? Ok?!” Gets me everytime 😂
That was awesome! never heard of him or Snarky Puppy before. Thanks for introducing me to him!
Very welcome my Irish friend :)
Larnell the Drummer God...yep , there's not much to say, after ont time see him you get great respect of his talent. Did you know that Snarky Puppy at recording that fenomenal live session album We like it here in Holland (warmest recommendations to check this album...there are a lot of videos on UA-cam...) doesn't have a drummer...then Michael League (band founder) call Larnell if he can 'jump in'...He flew from USA to Holland and in 7 hours and he heard some songs and some pieces of not finished songs...made whole drums arrangement in his head (by hearing...without practicing) and on the next day recorded everything in first session...Amazing! (Also is nice that you can see WHAT OF HELL GOOD arrangement...) They also talk about it in Snarky Puppy Documetary (also on UA-cam to find....)
Amazing band with musicians on a level that very few can really comprehend.... :) Great post my friend
I never heard Enter Sandman before tonight.
:D
The video Top 5 Drum Moments of Larnell Lewis is great also. I put #3 up there with Moby Dick. Two completely different solos, but so iconic.
Great post as always Steve! It is saved and I'm going to do a reaction video to it in the fairly near future!
I still want to see Larnell do an extreme metal or prog metal song with some blast beats. He'd nail it!
That would be pretty cool!
Memory and getting older?? Yeah man, I can relate to that! I can remember stuff from 40 years ago no problem but have trouble remembering what I had for lunch two days ago!! 🤣😉🏴
I hit a milestone with that a few days ago, I walked into the kitchen to get something, got into the kitchen and forgot, went back to my studio, sat down, remembered what I forgot, got up and went to the kitchen and forgot again :O
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar yeah, right!! I do the same thing. Go to do something, forget what it was and then go back to where I had the original thought. Weird thing is it helps you remember! Ah, the beauty of age! Lol
Larnell Lewis rocks! Love your video!
Question I have NEVER been able to play bar chords on an acoustic guitar. Any hints you can give me? I'm a huge Beatles' fan and John Lennon loved bar chords! Thank you!
Thank you sir! Check back to my earlier videos where I posted many many guitar lessons :)
I became a fan of Metallica in 1998 when I was 15 and I get what the "old" fans mean. I hunted all the cassettes through the year and got up to speed. That was when I learned that Sandman was a very good song among all the greats that came before (and now after) it. This "new" fan got to know better pretty quickly after becoming a "student" of all their material in the span of 6 months of that fatefull year. Good memories, they indeed remain hehe.
It is a fact that Sandman is one of the most poplular Metal songs out there, and probably Metallicas most popular/known song along with Nothing Else Matters. But it would be cool to see him tackle one of the "hard" ones some time. ut it is UA-cam, you gotta do the mainstream stuff, right. Anyway, it is a cool video. Watched the Og before the other reactions to it.
I'm sure Larnell could handle Dyer's Eve no problem, but it had just become frustrating over the years to see people always reference "Enter Sandman" when it came to Metallica that it was such a heavy song lol
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar I am well over it. That is what happens with popular stuff, but I feel you there.
It is possible. I never heard that song myself until today. I know there is a music band called metallica but i never heard enter the sandman.
this guy is good at getting those beets down.he must have a good drumming vocabulary.he had a good choice to.love Metallica.awsome vid yes 💜💜
Amazing drummer! Check out his work in Snarky Puppy :)
Incredible talent 👏
You should check out this young kid called JD beck (drummer) this kid will impress you, truly mind blowing 🤯.. great video sir ,much appreciated
What is your favourite performance by him?
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar nord live performances with Domi is great
he is canadian, the double pedal drum patterns where he does it with one foot is ridiculous
Right?
not all popular commercial songs are in 4/4 time. for instance, Journey's "Open Arms" is a waltz or 3/4 time for the non musicians.
Yes or “Piano Man” from Billy Joel
go react any nils dominator live video)
i would prefer if the phrase "one of the best drummers" ends like "in this particular genre"
Interesting.... :)
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar ua-cam.com/video/ldFk6_0AdgI/v-deo.html
You are welcome)
I prefer Larnell's drums too on "Enter Sandman"! (Sorry, Lars)
Imagine Larnell on "Fuel"? Oh my God, would probably be a kind of "religious experience".
Have seen Snarky Puppy many times with Sput and Larnell, both monsters. My favorite metal drummer is Tommy Buckley , formerly Soilent Green, now Crowbar ua-cam.com/video/AxcaIKMAJ3Y/v-deo.html
Hey Chris! I remember Crowbar, is it the same band Crowbar that was around 30 years ago?
Yes. Both Crowbar and Soilent Green are New Orleans bands. Became friends with those guys in 89 when I was in a band ,Basilisk. Tommy is great in both bands but Crowbar is a lot simpler and he`s on a small kit. Soilent probably has more rhythm changes than anyone and is very technical on the drums while staying super heavy @@YesYouCANPlayGuitar
