Larnell should react to Slayer's "Angel of Death". Dave Lombardo drums like a demon on that song.

[@maskedtheory7251]

Have you ever considered reacting to some video game music? Search up "True Damage - Giants" Made from the game League of Legends. The developers put serious thought into it and paid a number of well known artists online and internationally to do the original music to help promote skins in the game. If you like them other greats by them are the songs by the band "Pentakill", and "K/DA"

[@benclaykershaw3033]

My man, you love covers of covers then check out Jon Gomm's Ain't nobody by Chaka Khan on acoustic! He also did a song called passionflower that went viral after Stephen Fry received the KZbin video whilst trapped in a lift, he retweeted it and the rest is history. Cheers,love the channel from UK ✌

[@richeaton7436]

The OTHER drummer for The Puppies, Sput Searight, ain't half bad either... lol Snarky Puppy - Strawman kzbin.info/www/bejne/inmVaHl8nZ2kb7c (Mark Lettieri on guitar SMOKES this one, and my young cousin, Jusin Stanton's, keys solo is pretty cool too...)

[@hydroman5001]

I would love to see him play one of there's that the beat changes to something todly different

[@UltraBob619]

Larnell: Woah I'm gonna miss that! It's ok. So does Lars.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

splash on upbeat beginning the 3rd bar after the rest/stop.

And he did miss the Boom!

No

I think he would be fantastic sitting in for Larrs

[@jackiesueann3476]

Why not? Music is not in a box. It unites and brings people from all walks of life TOGETHER. Awesome idea! ✌❤🎶😁

[@chaost4544]

@@jackiesueann3476 I 100% agree. He would do well with any type of genre. My commentary was more a joke on how much Lars, the drummer from Metallica, is disliked in the metal community.

[@Robert_Herring]

Larnell is such a humble, thoughtful man. He put himself into this situation, open himself up to criticism, just to prove a point about respecting other music genres. The active listening he does is on point. In addition to being one of the best drummers alive, he's a great teacher. BTW, he now has a t-shirt on his website of the "I'll take a little more volume".

[@MartyRenn]

I like how he played it and added his own flavor as well. He’s awesome!

[@diegonavarro555]

Snarky Puppy called in this guy last minute to play the drums in their "We Like It Here" session. During his flight to the Netherlands (where the session was recorded) he learned and composed some parts of all 8 songs they played. He only had raw Snarky Puppy audio material in his cellphone. He basically played with Snarky Puppy right after he landed and that is amazing

[@guyelmouchnino6531]

I saw him live once with Snarky Puppy. He's a killer !!!

[@hooper4581]

These musicians are on another level. Off charts memory. What is give to have 10% of his retention skills

[@chrisw3421]

Lars made his own sound and tons of money, but this guy is in a different league of drummer. Mr Lewis is studied and refined and a MONSTER on the drums, so what if he's not a household name, he is very smart and talented.

[@johnnyriley5943]

Ring. Ring. "Hello, Larnell? This is James Hetfield. Look, Lars has the crud and can't make this year's tour. Would you be able to sit in?" "Hi, James! Hope Lars gets to feeling better, soon. It just so happens that I went down a rabbit hole, and listened to all your albums twice, this past weekend. No problemo! If you want, we can play through the songlist once, and we'll be good to go. If not, I can just wing it... What time do you need me?"

[@SM-pk7pg]

🤣🙌

[@Bdoc76]

Good man Johnny, both funny and accurate 😂

[@andrewptob]

I’ve watched so many different reactions to this. lol. It never gets old. Top tier musicians are so inspirational.

[@pswinford8]

Larnell Lewis is the man! You gotta check out his jazz stuff, one listen through and BAM! He nails it!

[@MrDemoncrusher]

It wasn't exactly perfect but for hearing the song only once.... That was EPIC! I'm stunned!

[@manny3447]

He missed a couple toms in the begging but yeah it was great.

[@jackiesueann3476]

Agreed! I can't play a lick and some of the music theory talk went *woosh!* right over my head but I still enjoyed it quite a bit actually!✌❤🎶😁

[@manbearpig7359]

I saw this literally 20 minutes before you posted your reaction. Sometimes the stars in the universe just line up

[@language-n-learning]

I just watched it last night right before bed and was going to recommend it to Jamel!

[@gruvdrums]

The thing that I love is his skill really comes through as the song progresses. He's learning it during the first part and as he gets more comfortable he lets it loose!

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

This dude is one with his intrument. This whole album would be a walk in the park for him.

[@micht6888]

Its a walk in the park for everyone LOL

[@Wolf1354]

It's a pretty easy album to be honest.

[@jimmymac4559]

Yep. Pretty rudimentary drumming.

[@aliwantizu]

I saw this video a few days ago and shared it on my Social Medias. Pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing this with your viewers, this guy deserves more eyeballs and earholes. Thank you for all you do for all of us! ~Be Blessed

[@JoshDrumClass]

Great reaction video bro Yeah man Larnell is one of the Goats! 😆🔥🔥🔥

[@andybricks576]

@Joshua Crawford Awesome thumbnail pic!

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

@Joshua Crawford Your reaction to "What About Me?" introduced me to Larnell. Thanks for the journey of discovery you put me on. :)

[@jazzmojo]

This is unreal. He thinks drums after one listen better than I can play drums after hearing it 50 times. I want to play like Dany but think like Larnell. I'm gonna go break a 5A.

[@chuckhutton5087]

I wonder what Lars thinks about this. It is so cool to see the “mutual admiration society “ which exists in the drumming community on the Drum Channel, which I first started watching last year following Neil Peart’s passing.

[@Doubie.]

Congratulations 69 likes nice

[@gooseman_x]

To listen to a song for the first time, and immediately start playing it takes mad skills and talent. Major props !!!!! And thanks to you, Jamel, for bringing this to us !!

[@danlong82]

Some musicians are such geniuses, they're the reason i keep my day job. I know 2 guys that can pick up any instrument for the first time, and learn it in minutes

[@phogue1]

1. I want to steal Larnell's speaking voice. 2. I knew this was up Jamel's alley as soon as I heard Larnell talking about how we need to not restrict ourselves when it comes to music and how we all can enjoy and contribute.

[@amyelizabeth529]

Yeah. He could make a living narrating documentaries if this drumming thing doesn't pan out. 😄

[@TheZasu123]

i just watched this video yesterday myself and wow this dude is a monster, learning a new song usually takes from a few days to a month even if you are an experienced drummer, of course enter sandman isn't the most complicated song but this dude is still a monster for being able to do that

[@borimirtheboring]

The combination of the knowledge of music and just having the ear that he hears everything that's happening is amazing.And he has time to scratch his nose without missing a beat. LOL

[@Budman_Buds]

This dude is like a modern day Mozart! He could hear music once and repeat it flawlessly too! Some people givin gifts we mortals can only admire with awe.

[@Wolf1354]

This was hardly flawless. Any musician who's been playing for a while can learn a song quickly. It's not magic.

[@nickhoare2964]

For what it’s worth Jamal..... the message he shared at the end that resonated with you in respect to universal appreciation of music... you did an amazing job of articulating this very message. Peace Brother

[@reggiegreen7245]

That's definitely some special talent there.Its one thing to learn to play any song on the drums,but to listen to it once,and then know how to play it off of that,that's something special.

[@jasonhitchcock8911]

I've been a bass player for 31 years and I've been in quit a few bands in my time. I would love to jam with this guy. Amazing drummer. He has a great ear, and a knowledge of music timing.

[@RedBunni1024]

This was fascinating!!! What talent to listen to a song once and play it back from memory. Thanks for your reaction!

[@whiskersb5296]

I watched this video the other day, and now I get to watch the reaction. Great stuff all around.

[@bobbiebecerra2715]

Absolutely love watching musicians work through their process! Thank you for reacting to this. I will have to follow him.

Lars Ulrich of Metallica plays this with double bass. Larnel Luis plays it with oe kick petal.

[@patholguin5503]

Welcome aboard! Jamel, I'm glad to hear you mentioned that you got confirmation of what you have been speaking on diversity of music, from this extremely talented drummer.

[@christineg8151]

He is the most Zen drummer I've ever seen! He was relaxed, and enjoying the hell out of it, the entire time. I LOVE watching people who love what they do, work!

[@soonernate64]

Excellent - Love to see this stuff added in! I watched this on a drumming video site. Love seeing it on here and your reaction. Amazing to see this video happen in real-time of Larnell Lewis hearing first time and playing. Amazing!

[@leandabee]

😲, OMG ARE FOR REALS JAMEL!? I watched this the other day as it was recommended to me by the algorithms, and now here you are reacting to this guy, blows my mind🤯! I loved Larnell picking up all the intricacies, I was mesmerised by him. So glad glad youtube recommended this to me. Congrats Larnell🥰

[@catcherad5444]

This is the most watched reaction to a drummer that I have seen on KZbin! Specifically this song and specifically, Larnell Lewis! I am a part-time self taught drummer. I have a drum kit set that I can play in my apartment. Everything is electronic so I put a baffle in front just so it doesn’t bother the neighbors and I also put some extra padding on the floor for one. I’m pounding the pedals.. I will never reach this level of excellence. The man is just a magician, expert, and a genius all in one! He didn’t play it exactly like Lars, but for gosh sakes, he is just freaking amazing and if you watch and play Snarky Puppy song, you’ll just go oh my God! That’s totally his element, but he is such an amazing drummer, and so many drummers love, his ability to listen to a song, one time and play through the whole freaking thing! And this is a metal standard! Took me so many times to figure out how to play this song and all I can say is anyone who wants to play drums, if you’re young enough try and learn, like Larnell Lewis! the man hears,eats and drinks and sleeps musical notes and my gosh! Thank you for this rendition!

[@EDMDoc]

That is pure mastery of his craft ( and off the charts iq). One of your best vids yet J.

[@susanoneill370]

Just came across this one! Such a treat. Larnell is amazing! Thanks, Jamel, for reacting to a spectrum of suggestions and genres, discovering old, new and just good damn music all in between.

[@miketd711]

It's 6:00 a.m. here in Sparks Nevada and I got my first lesson of the day "don't put yourself in the box" thanks Jamel!!

[@diannegaylord7170]

So Good !🌺 It was a pleasure to hear him ace this song.I recognized a few things musically.He did it all.with no written music in front of him.WoW!🌼

[@Psyniigianni]

Hearing you brutha speak with such respect and admiration for a fellow brutha and musician was refreshing. That’s what needs to happen not only as bruthas but as men. Building each other up and passing on knowledge and perspective. It was an honor to hear how humble you are and expressing the level of professionalism you want to attain. Keep up the work and may you have continued success in your endeavors 👊🏽.

[@vigilantdisciple5569]

Bro I love that you did this. I just found it like an hour ago and I was thinking damn Jamel should see this guy. He's a genius no doubt. I was wondering where all the real musicians went to. We all just found one.

[@DavidRymell]

I loved Larnell's original video, and I loved your reaction to it! I especially loved how you reacted to his eloquence at the end: we're all the same race, but we come from different cultures. We should respect those cultures for the beauty they bring to the world. Thank you for making and sharing this video, Jamel

[@jillsallade6998]

The incredible energy of both you jamel and larnell in this video is infectious. Larnell lewis is a master! Thank you for this video. I so enjoyed it.

This drummer is really kind and likable. He is a great fit on your channel, Jamel.

[@Trampiere]

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

Larnell is a monster. Check his other first time listening video for "Chick's Pain"

[@rbellgtx68]

You can tell he didn't know it because of the fills with the toms just waiting for the steady part during the speaking he's got a great ear and is an amazing drummer props... Thanks again brother

[@paveltolz6601]

What a positive example of how to be a good human being...mutual respect...open your mind...life can be good. Thanks for uploading this because it wasn't in my feed. And yes, I had the thought that Metalica now knows who to reach out to if their drummer calls in sick.

Did we all get introduced to Larnell Lewis at the same time? This video JUST popped up for me yesterday. Amazing talent.

[@verwulf]

I like how on the middle of drumming he readjusys his glasses without missing a beat.

[@TeemarkConvair]

i had watched that , by dumb luck, a day or so after it went up. awesome , what a pro. i like how somewhere in the guitar solo it melded into HIS thing! consider the studio work that went into the song and realize he had a stock kit, no fattening/ compression,, quite a kick to see. Loved your reactions to larnell

[@davidwiser3883]

You can tell this guy is intelligent. I've watched other videos he's done were he listens to a song without drums recorded in it and then in one take builds this own interpretation of what is needed where and does a spectacular job at it. Kudos to this guy!

[@tb9579]

First time seeing Larnell Lewis. For someone like myself who is a very, very amateur drummer, this is jaw-dropping to watch... his talent is unreal. And to top it off, he strikes me as a genuinely humble, down-to-earth person. Thanks for doing this video!

[@susancurtis9442]
