    It’s a snare’d Tom. It’s a technical trick that Robert “sput” Searight showed to Larnell.

      @Romanus7867 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah. It's a Tom that can be turned on and off from being a snare. Definitely tuned differently. It also has a hydraulic head on it. Larnell has a video somewhere about it

    I think my favorite track from this collection is Shofukan. Seriously underrated song. Lingus gets all the love, as well it should, but there's something about Shofukan's groove that's just addictive.

      Shofukan is my go-to gateway into snarky puppy. It's a solid steady 4/4 vibe with an alternative but familiar key/mode so it's readily accessible to the untrained ear but it still has enough flourish to showcase the group's chops (with a little polyrhythm at the end for the music nerds). Plus it's just a lot of fun!

    Man, I love your reactions. I am glad that you found them right after Dirty Loops.
    And Larnell Lewis (the drummer) has indeed two snares, but the one you mentioned is his (quote) “secret weapon” a “snom” : A tom with snare-wires which he can attache or detach at any time.
    To me he is(besides Aaron) one of the hottest Drummer out there. I am not sure, if anybody has mentioned that: But Larnell was at this point not the regular drummer of Snarky Puppy. The usual drummer had to take a break a few days before the recording (which took place in the Netherlands). So Larnell gets a call one day before the recording “Man, can you come?”. He took a plane, learned all the songs (which he never played before) on the 8 hours flights, gets into the studio and records all that without ever played any of that before. WHAT?!

    Oh, and don't forget the performance by Nate Werth percussion. He has a knack of knowing which instruments to play and what rhythms to use for each section or passage in a song. Go back and listen how he helps build the tension during Bob Lanzeti's guitar solo. I mean, he and Larnell were in LOCK STEP, and during Larnell's closing solo check both of them on the cow bell. GENIUS!!!

      @Stratele Studios Jeff, if you haven't already, check out "Amour T'es La" from Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner Vol. One album. The song features an artist the Michael League has produced a few songs with worked with over the years. Again, Nate Werth is outstanding on percussion and he and Sput Searight really drive and flavor this song. I think that you will enjoy it...

    Oh, and I almost forgot, the drummer Larnell Lewis was called last minute to substitute for the original drummer for this session. He learnt almost the whole 10-song-set on a 7h flight from the US to Europe.
    The band wasn't feeling the songs when they rehearsed without the drummer, but Larnell lit the sh*t on fire when he came to the set, as you noticed😁
    And yeah, he has two snares, but the one on the right is tuned to be used as a tom without the mat and as a low snare when the mat ia on.

    Thank you for this video Jeff. This one of the Snarky Puppy videos that blows me away every single time!
    Also, I am glad you noticed Larnells use of two differently tuned snares. As others have said it's a tom with a switchable snare head and he smoothly flips it on and off while he's playing.
    In my opinion that sound really added to the character of his performance and "made" this song as much as the riffs did!
    Thanks again!

    I have been beating my brain out of my head trying to figure out how in heaven they managed to record all those instruments and everything come out so well mixed. There must have been DI boxes everywhere. The sound engineer had his work cut out for him and the guitar tones blew me away they had to been using amp sims the distortion is so even across the strings. And I'm even going to think about bleed into the horn section and drums from all the sound being made in that room.

    I spent years trying to count out wtf is going on in that "power riff" section and then somebody told me it's in 4/4. Which, technically, if you tap/count in 4 against this (good luck) yes, you eventually will end up back on a downbeat as it goes into the next section, but... lol there's no way in hell that's in 4/4 🤣 It's Schrödinger's time signature

    A lot of hype around SP, no doubt great instrument performer, but still I miss something in term of taste and musicality. If I have mood for fusion, I prefer listen to Chick Corea Electric Band, Steps Ahead ft Michael Brecker: you have as well skills but as well emotions and more musicality in their solos. Just my opinion. anyway SP are great instrument players.

    • @StrateleStudios
      @StrateleStudios  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have to admit I had the same feeling about them before doing these videos but the more I paid attention to them the more I liked it. I heard bits and pieces and thought they’re not for me. Being a huge Elektric band fan myself I thought no band could compare. Of course by now I’m burned out on the Elektric Band tunes cuz I’ve heard them a million times. For me this is nice cuz it’s new and more of what I love albeit not the same as Chick. I can still enjoy 😊
