Larnell Lewis Hears A Song Once And Plays It Perfectly

- Want to see Larnell Lewis hear a drumless song once and nail it, form and feature, on his first run through? Hit that play button!
How can Larnell learn songs so quickly? How did he learn almost the entire We Like It Here album by Snarky Puppy on a 7.5 hour flight to record in Europe?
Watch him work through his process of listening to the song’s details, understanding sections and forms, and looking for shots and nuances.
As Larnell says, it’s important to practice listening and imagining yourself playing the drums - mental practice was huge for him in this exercise but is also crucial when he’s away from the drums. He also listens to what the other musicians are playing and understands that when those things happen, “you have certain options you can draw from on the kit.”
Think you can nail it on the first go like Larnell? The song is called ‘Chick’s Pain’ by Mathieu Fiset and is available in the Drumeo Members’ area!

Next Up: Larnell Lewis Plays a song perfectly before hearing it
Caleb Winegardner sounds like a fun challenge!
Lmao
That would be witchcraft
After that: Larnell Lewis plays a song perfectly before it is composed.
Final video: Larnell Lewis Plays a song without playing!!
Oh, so that’s what a professional musician looks like.
Dunkaroos no, that’s what a GODLIKE musician looks like
Other professionals want to be like him. A musicians musician if you will.
@@BeardMan01 he's a little beyond professional haha
Yes yes and more yes.
Luckily you don't have to be this good to be a professional musician.
Drumeo should be contacting me soon for my instalment in this series. Its called ... "James listens to a song 1,000 times and gets it kind of close but not really"
Hahaha. :)
😂
Can I come? I might need an extra 1k if that’s cool., see you in 5 years brother! 😂
Hahaha ahah
Story of my life.. Nearly there but not fully.
“I THINK I’m ready to GIVE IT A TRY”
Proceeds to make a masterpiece
i know right!
do masters produce anything short of a master's piece?
😂😂😂 right!!!
Exactamente viejo 😂😂😂😮
Amazing drumming, I would of liked a litte more a Latin flare to it.
I was expecting him to hear a song WITH drums, this dude doesn't joke around
Lmao, same lol
Lol that’s funny I was thinking the same thing
Same, and again, i know nothing about drums but they fascinate me. Dude is badass.
Same here dude hahahaha
Fábio Silva he has the drum part we just didn’t hear it
This man inspired me to stop playing the drums.
Yo🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooo
😂😂😭
Me too.
Lmfaooo
he's such a humble and likable guy. no ego, no bravado, just true musicianship.
There was a little bravado but when you play like that it's more than warranted
Yep especially when he knows he absolutely nailed it at the end. And hey, he's put in a ton of work to be a master. So he is probably happy enough with the way everyone in the studio reacted to that take. He deserves all the recognition.
@@davidmanchester8978 hell yea he’s bin playing since he was 2 😂
oh he's got an ego lol, not unwarranted though
For anyone wondering, the "quote" he's referring to at @4:04; it's part of the main phrase of Chick Corea's song "Spain" (Thus the title, "Chick's Pain")
If you hear that song, around the 2 min mark you'll get that phrase being played on the keys and some vocals layered after.
thank you
This whole song is a quote
Thanks mate, now i have to go check out "Spain"...
“The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory” that’s sick haha
Awesome, when did he say that?
ryyanedit after the first complete listen through, when he said that he thought he should listen again and take some notes.
augsdoggs 5:45
The original saying is “The faintest ink is better than the strongest memory”.
...my favorite quote so far in 2020 :)
I came here a drummer and left here someone who wants to learn how to be a drummer
🤣
ROFLMFAO!!
Most under-rated comment here!
Same😂
Hope you gotta an empty room!
This man is really playing the best drumming I've ever heard and his shoelaces aren't even tied
Shoelaces were tied when he started drumming. They came undone while he was playing 😂
There are people who claim they can’t play the drums with loose shoe laces.
Larnell; hold my beer.
Went back and skimmed thru just to watch the trials and tribulations of that shoelace... 😂
This is the video that, like, REALLY got me into music. I got a drum set because of this video, and since then i haven't looked back. it's been so much fun, even if i'm never going to be as talented as this man
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing that! I'm glad that I was able to inspire you to join the Drum fam!!!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Learn your fundamentals. It's so hard to undo bad habits later on.
@@screwju-ice100% agree
@@LarnellLewisMusicyou're a legend
That was crazy!!!!@
My drummer watched this. Now he’s a cameraman
Lol
Better for him
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aha Ahahaha lol
I don't like people passing this off as having a gift or being a genius alone, this is years of practice, muscle memory, and a SHIT TON of creativity. That does not come naturally. Larnell worked his ass off to get this far and it shows.
Mostly right, he obviously also has a SHIT TON of natural talent. Not saying you are wrong.
If you compare a talented person who worked hard for 2 years with a not so much talented one who worked the same amount of time and with the same intensity as the talented one, it is most likely the talented one will be more successful and will have more impressive results. This guy probably practiced and studied a lot, but he might be very talented, too.
as a music teacher, some people have it and some dont... unfortunate truth... but yeah certain people do have it easier cause of alot of other factors besides hard work... but yes hard work is the main factor
@@sholynphotoworks Surely willingness to learn is the "have it" - I don't believe in natural talent, just pure love of the craft and learning and practise.
creativity kinda does tho
It's been three years and I still think about this video all of the time. His musicianship is insane, just so high above anything even most pros could do.
Same thing. And I've never played any kind of music at all.
This is insane. I've been a musician for almost 30 years of my life, and I've never seen anything like this. Man, I'd pay a lot to be able to just sit down with this man for 3 hours in a studio and chat, play some stuff, and learn.
I can imagine Larnell just sitting in a quiet plane and you hear: "uh.. yeah... uh uh.... oh alright"
Lmao 😂 😂
😂😂
😂😂
he literaly did that for the recording of "we like it here"
And when it lands he builds the engine out of memory..
My expectations were absurdly high yet he still managed to exceed them.
The saying is actually "A blunt pencil is better than a sharp memory" - in our profession as journalists, this is a golden rule. :-)
@@reallyjoereally4781 I have learned literally "thousands" of songs on guitar, many by just watching other players and copying them, but the songs that stick in my memory and stay over the coarse of years are the ones I've taken the time to learn by reading and transcribing them. Suffice it to say, I've forgotten more then I've written, LoL
There's a lot of things to appreciate about Larnell's playing, but I think his understanding of when a song wants to open up and when it wants to stay tight is truly admirable. When he's in that groove, he *IN THERE*
The pocket
Agreed. Man it's so good..I have watched this video 5-6 times now and still can't get over it. This isnt really the style of music I go for but it's just too good.
He BREATHES along with the music while listening. Amazing to watch his process. And then the way he accentuates the soloists without getting in the way. Genius is too light
Sessions are time and time is money. You pay this guy his price and he shows up and delivers. No waste, no fuss; a true professional.
Amen to that.
Exactly
better get a drum machine instead
@@Lucait thats killing opportunity for drummers
James dunn i was provocative
I cant even remember what my mom told me to buy at the supermarket
🤣😂🤣👍✌
That's why he wrote it down lol. Shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory
@@drftr6073 nearly forgot he did that eh
A loaf of bread. A container of milk. A stick of butter.
I can't remember what I had for breakfast and it's 10:00am.
"So, it was my first and only take, I hope you enjoyed" - OH YES I DID! That was outstanding performance, Larnell definitely has the chops!
Even after seeing the more recent ones with other (very good) drummers, it's always impressive how easy Larnell makes it look. Everyone else looks like they're concentrating and trying hard to hit all the right notes, but even in the most complex parts, he's calm and collected and barely seems to notice that his hands are just over there doing their thing. Sometimes it even looks like he's surprised when he looks over at a hit and his hands are already doing it
I also really enjoy his rare ability to actually play quietly when needed
"I hope you learnt a lot from it"
I learnt that I absolutely suck, thanks
Lol🤣🤣🤣
hahahaha
I learned that I can cry myself to sleep. LOL.
XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory.
That’s deep
Wrote that one down. Excellent idea.
Did you come up with that? It's great. Oh OK I just heard him say it!! I should watch the video before reading the comments!
Love that
I don’t get it?
Just amazing to hear what he chooses NOT to play. He obviously is capable of doing so much more... but the first thing he realizes, is where the other bandmembers have a "time to shine" and he then lets hell break loose at 9:30... His time to shine. Such an incredible thing to watch.
This dude... so humble, then proceeds to DESTROY ANY DOUBTS he is a BEAST!!!!
This title is misleading lol. He heard a song twice, composed a drum part on the fly, and recorded it in one take. What he did is even more impressive than the title implies
No word of a lie, it's "holy crap" level good
I just listened to the original w/drum part and Lewis did miles better!!!
This is true. However, what’s the best UA-cam title that will gain traction that he can use to encompass some of his brilliance? The title he chose haha 😊😂 But you are very correct that is does not begin to describe the depth of his brilliance.
I keep coming back to this video over and over again. And every single time I'm utterly astounded by what I'm watching. It's impossible to overstate just how fucking impressive this is. I'm not sure how this level of talent exists.
I thought he was just gonna hear it and then play it. What he did was something much more impressive however.
Even the shoe laces were like “I can’t handle this anymore”.
Think my jaw looked about the same .
ha! nice catch
Lol
Loooool
I would’ve inevitably saw them and stopped the recording because that would’ve driven me to madness
8:35-836 is just insane, out of this world. All notes sounded the same way doing a perfect and smooth ghost snare roll. Holy shit, that's some serious stuff. I love him.
Starting at 9:39 I have no idea how he catches the snare so often and In rhythm along with all those ghost notes. Larnell never ceases to amaze my mere mortal mind.
The first time I listened to Snarky's "we like it here" recording, I thought it must have taken Larnell weeks to learn the songs. When I found out he learned them on the way to the session it just blew me away..what a drummer!
Learning them on the plane is such a legendary story!
Yeah, me too. I thought they were rehearsing the material for months, and when I watched the dvd and they said they had 4 days to rehearse my mind was blown away.
SmartyThePants I’ve never seen a comment reflect someone’s user name more perfectly.
I didnt know that! Good gawd
Where did you hear that?. I'd be curious to listen to the interview
He's a former drum set reincarnated as a human.
hahahahaha
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an anime
he actually used to belong to John Bonham
Lollll
Hi My Name is Musawenkosi Mdluli from South Africa.I'm a piano player and keyboard player. This session has taught me a lot, Thank you to Larnell Lewis and the Drumeo team.
Can we just all appreciate how lucky we are to be able to witness something like this, without technology we wouldn’t be able to see such wonders. Man
I was high af when I wrote that
Larnell: "Oh, the time signature is π/13? Yeah I can do that."
Larnell: *listens to Enter Sandman* "oh so it's 1,2,3,4? Yeah.......... I can do that."
Comment of the year 😂
@@GlennDavey The only thing that Lars and Larnell share in common is Lar......nothing more.
@@MrWilander88 lmao dude
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
The only flaw in this was that his shoe was untied. I'm surprised he didn't tie it while playing. I'm sure he could have.
He did that on purpose to make sure you were truly paying attention to how to learn songs quicker
Reminds me of that one time BB King breaks a string and keeps playing.
He sure could tie his shoe and miss no beats. He fixes his earbuds a couple times and it somehow makes a ghost note when he does it 😂
Yeah? Just like he fixed his headphone @ 7:32 and can do some next level shit like that while keeping that groove and intentionally make it seem like that 1 second pause belonged there and get back in the rhythm and beat? Larnell's a beast! FENOMENAL! Next level CLUTCH FINESSE; take it from a drummer like myself, been playing almost 20 years
I've heard of him for years but recently just started following...wowww, his ability to adapt so quickly to the songs he just hears first time is mindblowing, he's done these types of videos plenty of times for a long time 👏🙇♂️🪄
@@scottythebody that's what I said! Yes!
I’ve rewatched this so many times and am still blown away every time
Same 😂 he is on a different planet
My god. Not only was this the best one take this show has ever done, but the part could have easily passed as the final recorded version of the song.
Imagine being the drummer who actually played on this recording and hearing this.
James Bayford can we make that happen?!?! @drumeo
i mean there's a fair chance it was a session drummer who played over this track and had to do exactly the same thing. you gotta be a tight player to make an income as a session player
Ahahahha good though
"we decided, we're not going with your take, no hard feelings"
"I spent half a year just trying to figure out what the keyboardist is doing, this guy undid all this work in one listen, one take."
When you hear someone complaining about people charging a lot of money to do a job that takes them little time. This is the perfect video to show them.
Soooo tru
They still won't be able to get it. They'll just assume it's a normal thing how the guy learns it so quickly and will still complain about the same thing.
Exactly, it’s how long it took him to get to the point in which he make this, this quickly
quality over quantity!
FACT!!!
Impressive! I love his admission of being just a bit nervous- he is comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's an important part of learning anything, no matter how accomplished one might be. I just wish we could hear this live and Larnell-propelled.
It would have been great to see the production team reactions during this . No doubt they were amazed by how good it was .
"the shortest pencil, is longer than the longest memory"
Holy shit well said
Just dropping nuggets of wisdom as offhand comments
I'm using that at work tomorrow.
Until you run into a person that has that thing called a photographic memory. I've known two people that have that, and it's impressive.
Valentina Lisitsa (concert pianist) has a photographic memory. and I don't know her
Larnell is amazing to say the least.
I
@@50gary thank you for introducing valentina lisitsa 👍
@@rajbow1 I can't stop watching her, spellbinding. Also, so happy to have found Larnell Lewis, he is extraordinary. The way he dissects a song to learn it so quickly and so well, a very organized thinker.
When he said he was going to learn the song by ear, I wasn't expecting this. Now I realize that I've never met a true professional musician in my life after seeing this guy.
Behdad47 how do you know if he hasn’t practiced this off camera? He could of played this for months and we won’t know
Off2Tims nahh
@@off2tims962 imma take his word for it
@@off2tims962 occams razor, he would be attaching his name to an ability he doesn't actually have so when he shows up to sessions and he cant play songs by ear nobody would call him back for gigs. He's a professional musician that wants to make his living off it so nobody's gonna jeopardize their reputation like that, the more likely case is he's just a pro
Check out Lingus by Snarky Puppy, simply astounding musicianship going down there.
I have no trouble believing he never heard it before because the guy who composed it is like a pretty underground keyboard player from Quebec (Mathieu Fiset). Really talented guy.
Holy shit this is incredible. The man was clearly born to play drums, what an ear for music, unbelievable talent and a pleasure to listen to.
as a bassist, this is the kinda drummer we all wanna hold a groove with
yessir
yes please
You can't carry a groove if you don't have a pocket!
Yeah. The bassist was killing it.
Yea
He made some quote about memory and pencils being shorter. I dunno what exactly, I didn't write it down.
pencil memory is shorter than longest shortest, i guess
*rimshot*
@@EnDeRBeaT “The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory”
all these people completely missing the joke
EnDeRBeaT not really sure as well but i think it’s “longest pencil memory is the shortest” or something like that.. maybe
So far Larnell has been the best video out of all of the other drummers. Takes his craft very seriously and methodically
i could literally watch this like 100 times, its so entertaining watching him play
Remember that he is a composer and multi-instrumentalist. He understands the whole thing, not just the drums. That helps a lot.
Hes just good thats what helps
The best drummers know everything about a song
Just like Lars for Enter Sandman
This doesn’t help my instant depression and low self worth after watching this 😏
Yeah Thanks a lot for your lovely and support❤️❤️.if you feel like Chat me up private drop your email or cell number
That was incredible.
After watching this, you realize how elementary Enter Sandman must have seemed.
I had to stop watching enter sandman vid because i knew as a drummer he wanted more, i had to come to this video. UA-cam suggested the enter sandman vid first
@Darth Citharae Popular does not always = best.
I really wish he didn't hear the drum track in that video and made one up like this one
@Darth Citharae ...after hearing it for the first time and then playing it. And it was hardly a mess up - overall, he played the song better.
@@RobertoPavan loooooove Metallica, but yes, there are parts he played better than Larse.
That last couple bars had animal from the muppets vibes love the energy and animated playing. Amazing drummer
OK this dude is what these sessions are about NOBODY BETTER at breaking it down from start to finish! LEGEND!
"the shortest pencil, is longer than the longest memory"
I'm actually writing this right now so I never forget. Thank you, mate.
Try just remembering it.
What is a memory?
lol your comment made me realize something. I also thought "Hey, that's a really cool quote! I'mma memorize that one". The irony in that :D I should also write it down or else I'm not really taking it to heart.
Tell that to all the oral traditions where the written word has been destroyed thousands of years ago
@@MT-qt3mk I don't remember.
This, in my opinion, is the mark of a mature, skilled and experienced musician. He doesn't try to "overplay" the music but rather slides right in and compliments all of the instruments. When it's the right time, you hear the drums "speak up". Mr. Lewis is such a versatile musician and a humble guy. Love his style.
I agree
Yeah when he said "We went right into a solo, so I have to watch my activity" I nearly creamed.
Exactly this is what really good drumming is about. So many drummers try to compliment their skills by overplaying which can lead to impressive drum performance but actually really poor music performances.
Great comment 🎯💯
3:57 such a cool moment. Larnell notices a melody from Chick Corea's "Spain" being quoted in that phrase. SO COOL!
This guy is unbelievable. I started drums 40 years ago and it would take me another 100 to get close to Larnell.
This was just a clever way to get him to lay the drums down for your track, no charge...
"no charge" do you have a reason to think he wasn't paid for being there?

Who else waited for the song but heard no drum beat then he played it to perfection. Literally mind blowing! Damn!
Larnell is one of the most extraordinary peoples i've seen in my life....his connect with music is just crazy.
His ability to master any song so quickly is just astounding to me. What a drummer!
Agreed, and so humble and down to earth. His entire approach is calming and soothing, even when he is frenetically nailing a passage. Butter smooth.
He is a next-level musician!
Totally agree. What a dream player.......
He doesn't master a song, he mastered drumming.
Definitely can tell he's not just a player, he's a musician.
Real musicians always sing !
David Espinosa real singers always sing 🙅🏽♂️
this guy is so great! I'm a rock drummer but love listening and trying to include jazz style fills and licks into what i'm doing. Awesome, Larnell!
Literally as a drummer of 16 years, just watching his left hand gets me going. Also keep a constant beat on his left foot is probably the most impressive part.
"How could I become as good as Larnell?"
"Larnell started playing drums at age 2"
"Ah."
Apply yourself, use your brain, put in the practice, learn the theory, and play with your heart. That's how he got to where he is.
Even if you can never be 'as good as Larnell', I'm sure you could learn to play his lines with enough practice. Years ago it would take me months to learn a new song, but now I can pick it up a lot faster and usually sound better after one night than I ever did before.
🤣
I mean. You can always be a better version of you. Practice!
Azihayya FR‼️if you put yourself in the position to WANT IT more than Larnell, it can absolutely be done in a faster timeframe, but if you don’t want to work as hard n put in the time for the results then 9 times out of 10 you will NOT be the musician you aspire to be, you choose💯.
I still can't believe I shouted "great job" at him at a show once and he said "thanks" to me.
Props to him for not just saying "I know"
and you got it right. Its his job. Being a professional musician is very different from aspiring amateur. For pros it really is just a job.
Hes Canadian, we say thanks a lot lol.
Lol that was nice of him.
What a well mannered young man.
Legendary
That was the most casual execution of INCREDIBLE I have ever witnessed.
He’s one of the best.
Anyone: "Hi, we're looking for a-"

"Yeah I can play that while also cooking a dinner for four"

@@larnelllewis2866 bruv come on, you ain’t foolin shit
I was like “why can’t I hear the drums on track” and then I realized he was composing the drum parts lmao
It took me the 2nd time watching the video to even realize that, I thought the drum would start at some point 🤣
Yeah I just ran back to the Snarky Puppy record like "oh he MADE UP the drums, holy crap"
Thought I was going deaf.
Lmao I was thinking this dude has super hearing to go along with the talent
From an ear musician, it’s a blessing and a curse. The drum set is one animal, actual notes on the other hand is an entirely different monster. Props to Darnell!
this is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen
When I read the video title and saw that he was going to learn the song just by listening to it, I assumed that meant he was going to listen to the drums in the song and memorize the beat...
This dude just made up an entire drum part without ever having heard any drums, that's next level!
Hahahaha same here...when he was listening to it without drums I was like....”what am I missing here?” 🧐
Carlos Salazar i honestly thought the same thing and i thought would be better to be honest..
It's not THAT next level, he basically wrote down a sparknotes of the song and improv'd to it. The title says he HEARD the song once, but he actually listened twice and wrote down notes. There are people who listen to a song for the first time while improv-ing drums to it and nail it. To me, that's more impressive.
lmao “I mean, I could memorize and play all the drums in that song too....”
@@mrastleysghost Can you do it????
No amount of chops is more important than ear training!

hahahaha man I was expecting him to listen a song with a lot of drum patterns.
Or Step 2, be God disguised as Larnell Lewis.
I used to play drums from age 9 to 16. When I would want to learn a new song on my drum kit, my instructor would listen to the song a few times and make sheet music of the drum part after listening 1-2 times. It was amazing! He was a great instructor and made it easy for me to succeed.
I really enjoy seeing Larnell playing.
Such a amazing drummer.
It makes me smile everytime.
I don't play drums... There's no reason I'm here... I'm fuckin blown away. Watched the whole thing, for no reason, I'm I'm so glad. This guy is so cool!
