Larnell is one of the greatest drummers in the world. The drum solo was amazing.

[@boredjet]

Totally agree.

[@drummerjackson1887]

Correction THE Greatest drummer in the World. Challengers?

[@bojohnbonham]

That leaving the beater on the drum head is totally alien to me man!

[@wjotaj83]

One of my most favorite, most flavorful drummers. Very Clean, deliberate and authoritative. Thank you Larnell. God bless you!

[@svenmartin2930]

i agree!

[@Mityob67]

Perfect description for Larnell Lewis...a true gift to music.

[@georgefothergill4667]

tonight is the first time id heard of this cat. spent the last 3 hours watching him . this is when someone says to you drummers are not musical. step one you punch them . step two you make them watch his playing . eventually all other musicians will know we the drumming family are as musical as every one else. best wishes from the uk

Dudes an athlete, a scholar and an artist.

[@halvorb]

5:17 when he plays even behind his own back... ! o.o

[@kevinkikoue8334]

8:15 Summertime ... That is art !!

[@김성하-l6u]

Kevin Kikoué You noticed it too!

[@yasha12isreal]

Fucking wow🤯. I didn't think so many people knew Gershwin's Porgy and Bess

[@CarlHamilton1914]

Genius

[@GerrardChimbotoh]

Beautiful my guy🥁✨✨✨✨✨❤️🔥

[@Drumsticksmcgee]

I felt like I was on a safari in Africa, the cat is beyond creative and harmonic.

[@hugorezende199]

Yamaha is sooo lucky to have this guy! He is a true drum monster

[@jonn443]

This guy is incredible. Furthermore, he is extremely creative... I've never seen anyone use a splash cymbal on a snare before... very unique .

[@hugorezende199]

Juan carlito mendonza did on a "famous" solo on youtube on drum off contest way before, but i totally agree... its a unique thing, and yu have to be a pro to make it worth. Ans weelll... its Larnell he is fluent in drumming in all kind of ways, always jaw drop by his playing

[@goseeaboutagirl]

Mark Guliana does it too and Johnny rabb

[@maxalltoowell]

This legit made me cry it was so beautiful...my jaw is still dropped & my eyes watery

[@cosmokramer1213]

I wanna get on your level

[@vintagemxer9165]

A refreshing change from the fff chops sports demonstration solo you typically see. One of my favorite soloists right up there with claus hessler .

[@kencygenat5240]

this is the best drum solo for the 2020

[@StefanHertw16]

When he started that solo... You definitely can hear how he put African sounds into it

[@christhedrummer]

He remains to be my favourite drummer in the whole world. Followed by Eric Moore

[@Theupgradeguy]

Wow! he sure knows how to eek out every bit of sound from his kit!

[@visiblethoughts]

Love this. My favorite drummer :)

[@mikegoggins9758]

Man this is so amazing! Love the splash cymbal on the snare. Sounds so good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnjoelraj5784]

I've been looking up to the wrong drummers... I should've looked this up first.. Love you Larnell...

[@richgreen2089]

Lmfl, facts

[@MarcusTurnerMusic]

He played "Summertime"!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@ewertonoliveira5319]

For me, he's the best!

[@joshuagharis9017]

Unbelievable, so skilled and yet perfect musicality

[@jessdrummer_]

This is great. I hope we all guys are able to see and apreciate the legend we are living with right now. Man, that lick at the 10:40, beautiful, Im gonna stole it.

[@yasha12isreal]

12:19 reminds me of his solo in What About Me? with Snarky Puppy

[@tsavavaa]

Well, that's art... more than drumming.

[@tyronnfields8009]

he is so relaxed and so smooth. nice

[@invokekim4460]

Other drummers are just ‘drummer’ But Larnell is ‘Musician’!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SamuelJamalPope]

So the audience is amazed when he squeaks one of the toms, but is totally unimpressed when he freakin quotes Gershwin's Summertime...

[@cbro777]

I'm not sure South Africans would be familiar with Gershwin. Unless you're over 50 most Americans would likely miss that one too.

[@alexanderdeschutter8820]

Can uou timestamp the Gershwin quote? Enlighten me!

[@cbro777]

@@alexanderdeschutter8820 8:15 Summertime

[@dagostinoification]

Son jeu en plus d'être très technique, est très musical , il y à une pulse constante , des effets de percussions, il fait chanter son instrument ...Beaucoup de rythmes très world music (i am a french teacher and i have played with great musicians Rhoda Scott for example ,and others ..).excellent batteur !

[@Hus-Band]

Mr.Dynamic...or, Mr. Best Drumsound. And his feeling,...he is one of the best worldwide. There are soooo many good drummer in this world. Man,...they are tons. But the most of it play the "academical stile" i call it so. Only learn, practice, and play the drumtechnic perfect is not enough !!!

[@Hus-Band]

Hopefully Mr Larnell Lewis gets 200 year old !!! Healthy !!! This are my wishes for Mr LL !!!

[@faygo12]

i just threw my drum kit in the dumpster.....Thanx Larnell

[@j.p.lindsay6768]

Larnell IS A BEAST!! NICE!! :)

[@michaelfaulkner5839]

Wow. I'm totally blown away.

[@joshualewis8077]

Once again the snare tom makes an appearance.

[@musicalala]

What wicked percussion Larnell!!!

[@WorldGrace]

a whole other level of drumming right there...

[@Losochill]

JESUS CHRIST!!! Whenever I get married I want this man there on the drums 😂

[@Losochill]

It’d probably be $10,000 to book him

[@mrv1111]

From 12:21 - 12:50 sounds like an old Prince/Sheila E song from the early to mid 1980s.

[@richdefazio2497]

Love the elegance

[@jackbotman]

Interviewer: So, Larnell Lewis, how talented would you say you are? Larnell Lewis: Yes Interviewer: Well, there you have it folks.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

the solo is very similar to Larnell's "one note samba." which another excellent solo from him.

[@londochel]

Beyond drumming

Could you tell me what the sticking is for that one Groove that you use a lot right before you start shedding?

[@joshjamesuk]

2:07, does he have a snare strainer underneath his cymbal closest to the bottom of the video...?!

[@rickbaksteen3998]

I think it's a stack with a gen16 cymbal

[@joshjamesuk]

Rick Baksteen Think you're right man!

[@creyuss1983]

Awesome
