[@israelarriola7216]

I’m weak😭

[@Alexandre-sc5ry]

Of course because it's not triplets, he lies to a lot of people of what he is able to do, he could just say "oh my bad i missed that" on the montage

Just to "correct" it's music theory so it's not specific at all to drumming.

I have come to believe that Larnell Lewis experiences time differently than the rest of us…. It’s like he can stretch, bend & just play with time.

I'm from OUT there I hear different too

[@latiremo9133]

no fucking clue what he’s talking about but i absolutely agree with him

[@andrewsheldrick1800]

For anyone else curious, I'm pretty sure what he's noticing is the way that she's spacing the 4 hits of the kick drum with kind of a sped up triplet feel, while it's supposed to be played more like a quintuplet that swings over the 4th hit. Anyone got corrections or a better analysis?

[@adamrivera5973]

And this is why he can play songs by listening to them just one time... and almost, if not, perfectly

[@martintaboada8374]

I’ve watched this like 22 times and I’m still trying to figure out what he’s talking about

[@meeek2]

same bruh im lost

[@andrewsheldrick1800]

I think she's doing more of a triplet pattern with the kick but it's more of a quintuplet swing almost?

[@aceof8S]

I can feel it, but can't explain it. Even like, the correction. While unclear, I still felt it. It was _like_ a dropped beat, like mismatched tempos...nothing I would have picked up on as an error though, that's for sure. Whole different level of virtuosity here
