[@pokeyellow9660]

@@franciscorosetavazmonteiro1227 if you write something down you don't have remember it.

[@drewper73]

Francisco Roseta Vaz Monteiro Sure. In the video, when Larnell is about to start writing down notes on paper instead of making mental notes in his head, he says, “The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory.” What he means by that is, it’s important to take notes on paper and not just take mental notes. While the pencil you’re writing with might be very short, the words that you put down on paper will last as long as you keep the piece of paper. A person’s memory, on the other hand, doesn’t last forever no matter how good their memory is. Did that help? He’s talking about the words that a pencil can write on paper; even a short pencil. I really like the meaning. He’s saying how important it is to write stuff down when preparing to play a new song. If you write it down you won’t forget. I hope that helped. If not let me know and I’ll try again.

Snarky Puppy recorded their album "We Like It Here" with an audience wearing headphones inside the studio. Their regular drummer, Robert "Sput" Searight, forgot to renew his passport and didn't realize it until he got to the airport and wasn't allowed onto the flight. They called Larnell at the last minute, and he learned the entire album ON THE PLANE from Toronto to Amsterdam! He arrived at 7:00 AM, went straight to the studio to setup his drums, had a rehearsal with the band that afternoon, and played two shows that evening. They ended up doing three more nights in a row of two shows every evening and he absolutely KILLED IT, so I'm not surprised that he was able to do this with such ease! Check out the album if you haven't. It's great!

Me too, and I'm glad I watched!

[@beebelltoller4408]

I'm not sure I've ever been more impressed and amazed. Righteous...

[@LenujKhan]

This is my wish for 2021! Thanks for sharing your skill man! Master!

True Story: I Slept watching KZbin videos and this woke me up.. Now I'm one to get frustrated if woken up by noise, but this was different🥺🔥🔥💯🙌🏽 My body was on a rhythm, I woke up dancing 😭😭❤

[@sheldonallison5014]

That by far was one of the hardest songs to play after Because of all the drops .. he killed it

[@mustafa3579945]

This is brother is WICKED... Simply genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@americarocks9137]

This gentleman is ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! It's unreal how Awesome Larnell is. Keep handling business, Joshua. You're awesome as well!

[@rvvann1]

From me, someone who loves listening to great music, and who has only an elementary knowledge of music, watching this man analyze this piece and go to it doing what he does is CRAZY!!!!!!!! Unbelievable

[@morbid1.]

I imagine this dude when someone says "I'm professional musician"

[@localimon]

How about drake with a ghostwriter?

[@TamaraGarrettAlpha]

Exactly

[@Rick_Schott]

God-given talent plus hard work plus training = BOSS.

[@lpwrules]

I see how he learnt the Snarky Puppy songs so quickly now. My favourite drummer Larnell is the truth 💯

[@spiritualtruths8]

I absolutely love this. He is an artist not just a musician. Very talented!

[@jayjones9051]

Omg, I’m not a drummer but that was so clean that I want to be one know. He’s already a composer like the Mozart’s and our very own Prince who could come in without listen to a track and improvise all the way through a song. It’s amazing what our minds can do. Humans Rock!

[@HardEdge53]

Very impressive and not going ride throughout the solo was so tasteful and the Percussive accenting on tom fills was precise as were the flammed triplets. Loved it

[@basslife9078]

This guy isn't a drummer, he's a true musician.

[@LeonydaCruz]

So.... Are you telling me what I think you're telling me?

[@oscarnovoa7445]

Idiot. So drummers can not get a Bachelor in Music?

[@basslife9078]

@@LeonydaCruz and what is it that you "think" I'm saying?

[@justinslogar5770]

Just Me well your first comment implies that you don’t think of drummers or at least most drummers as real musicians

[@basslife9078]

@@justinslogar5770 bruh, I'm a drummer. I've been pounding sticks for over 20 years. I give respect where its due. I have a bachelors in music from the UofA and I teach bass guitar lessons. And yes, there's a difference between a drummer and someone who's a full on musician. Somebody can play half ass a couple songs and say they're a drummer. A musician is someone who studies the music, listens to the beat pattern, listens to scales, breaks it down (music comprehension) listening to a song once and playing it perfectly is a musician. Rewinding a dozen times trying to play it, that's just a dime store drummer.

[@NiceRage2009]

Damn man! He played right out of his shoe lace! Holy shit that was impressive!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@F_L_U_X]

He listened to it way more than once...still amazing.

[@DarrinSnider]

Everybody hears a song differently the fist time. This guy is obviously a master of his instrument.

[@shannonwhite3120]

You notice how he uses a snare drum as a floor Tom ??? That’s insane

[@JoshDrumClass]

Yep!!! Crazy😆

[@reneportal542]

That's a snom! When the snare wires are on, that thing sounds amazing

[@RinaldoJonathan]

how did it sound so delicious ...?

[@jmc2567]

Yes please,I,d love to see more vid,s along these lines,and I,d love to see this drummer again,he,s awesome,talks you thru it,👍👍👍👍👍❤❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐best wishes to all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.stay safe out there.

[@Rahhkz]

It's cool watching the process of him breaking everything apart. It's almost as if he can see the sheet music being played right in front of him.

[@loubestersloubesters3543]

I have been playing drums for like 8 years now and also taking weekly lessons so yeah I think i can play what he does if you watch it and write it down plus memorizing it, I think i can do this.

[@TheHarshestTruth]

Let us know when you do it

[@waiakalulu3501]

He makes it look so easy, like, just no effort required. It just flows like a river.

[@oldguy9078]

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!

[@joesteals]

He listened to the song once? How many times did he listen to the song, and how long to prepare for the track? Wrong title, he did a great first take.... He is a top notch, pro drummer.

[@jsa7298]
