Zildjian Live! - Larnell Lewis

[@LarnellLewisMusic]

Thank you all so much for the love!!!! Sput, Nate, and GhostNote brought tons of energy to my music. Thanks again to my Zildjian fam for the amazing opportunity!

This was the last piece of music I shared with my grandpa. Unable to leave his bed let alone spend time in his room with 31 guitars, he replied, “Amazing!!!” In the weeks leading to his passing, this became my all-time favorite music performance. Now, months later listening to it again for the first time, I’m reminded of the never-ending and inexplicably positive influence, not just musically, that he had on me. I have a whole life in front of me, and I know he’d want me to keep enjoying this piece - so that’s what I’ll do. Thank you all for this incredible, incredible piece of music.

[@dcarter455]

Sorry for your loss and grateful for your connection through music. It’s been almost 6 years since my sister passed and music is still one of the strongest bonds I have with her. Music is truly a universal language and it transcends time and space ❤

[@gustafsone]

My first exposure to the otherworldly drumming capability of this man was when I stumbled upon the Snarky Puppy "Lingus" video a few years ago. My mind was blown and not only did it make me a huge Larnell Lewis fan, but it was also my first exposure to Snarky Puppy. I thank whatever Gods were looking down on me that day because I've found so much more incredible music since then that I would have never known even existed. This video is one of them, too. Had the KZbin algorithm not known I was already into Snarky Puppy and had searched other Larnell videos, this would not have been recommended to me. My only regret about this whole thing is that these Zildjian/Ghost-Note drummer showcase videos were recorded in a studio not far from where I live. I would have never made the invite list, and probably wouldn't have found a way in, but I would have like to have tried, dammit!

Okay but come on... can we just talk about how beautifully and subtly Nate Werth (percussionist) compliments Larnell here (as well as every other drummer he works with)!! Sneakily filling the space at 6:07, getting that drop with Larnell at 6:34, adding to the Latin-esque groove at 7:00, and most importantly never getting in the way or playing when he doesn't need to be!! Awesome musicianship.

Larnell plays with such good “micro dynamics”: every hit is with a very deliberate volume. All at a hundred miles an hour. Wow!

[@diegoleiva7242]

That's so true! I couldn't point out what made him stand out compared to other drummers I've seen. His use of silence to add tension + the dynamics you mention are killer. And if you're the real Jonas, then holy crap man! I've known you since the Shawn Lane days, you're a monster musician!

Some cymbal brands have certain cymbals in their line-up designed more for "auxillary percussion" players than set players that are made specifically for playing with the hands and still get a clear tone and sound great.

Yeah there would really be no point in getting sput and the ghost note band to do it if it wasn’t previously done with Vic Firth since all the drummers/percussionists are all meinl artists yet Vic Firth artists as well. But who knows I don’t know they might’ve still done it if the price was right. Love the production of the Vic Firth live jams and now this series. Imo my favorite productions by cymbal companies are the meinl drum videos and meinl drum festivals and now these vic Firth/zildjian live videos.

Damn Zildjian owns Vic Firth?? I thought they copied on the VF Jams lol

@@andyham6094 not ALL are Meinl artists. You had a solid amount of Zildjian artists. I would say half Meinl and half Zildjian.

Larnell is honestly insane. The most creative drummer I've ever seen BY FAR! That thing he does @ 6:06 The way he tightens the the Tom drum to make it play a higher pitch @ 6:13 The way he plays the plays THE ACTUAL WINGNUTS on the cymbals right after @ 6:14 He's just- I- How???

[@tumbler4life11]

I hate to break it to you man but all he did was put his elbow on the drum, no tuning necessary

[@mmro546]

while i agree in that this man is seriously insane, the elbow on the tom is just an old trick.. jazz greats have used that one for years (especially with timpani mallets)

When music is played for the love of music, with this level of skill, technique, and professionalism, there is joy.

Larnell Lewis and Thomas Pridgens have the best Zildjian Live performances of them all

6:16 how he hits the top of the cymbal stands with that accuracy and dynamics always get me. And apparently, the crowd was blown away as me too.

[@chillydill4703]

From a drummer to another - He's grooving so hard, it's amazing. Not over the top, he listen to the music and emphasise parts that needs it. It's so delicate.

[@88pynogrl]

I agree whole heartily- and I’m not a drummer!!!! I love the look of sheer joy on his face. Such musical conviction and intention throughout his playing. I know why I keep coming back to watch this- it makes me glad to be alive.♥️♥️♥️👍🏻🔥

[@joshmore7175]

The sheer level of musicality in this is mind boggling. Wow

[@toughlikerocks]

Larnell seems to combine so many of the amazing qualities of other drummers into a cohesive style that is all his own. The fierce groove of the best old-school funk drummers, the dead-to-rights in to pocket playing of Gadd, the effortless intensity of Colaiuta, the playfulness of Carter Beauford. You could go on and on. Definitely one of the greatest players alive right now, IMO.

[@IAmJeebus]

On a 1 - 10 scale of the stank face meter... this is like, a 12. Holy crap. Seriously. Been listening to this on repeat for the past like, 3 months. The pocket is deeper than JNCO jeans pockets. Even people who don't know what a stank face is end up having one somewhere during this beautiful masterpiece.

4:25 where it opens up gives me chills

[@fernandoolmedo2558]

I simply love how these musicians translate the emotions and happines they themselves feel when playing their instruments, they can't stop bobbing their heads, smile but you can see and feel the concentration through the complexity of the track. Pure music from the soul.
