The drummer is Larnell Lewis. He was a late addition to this recording, and learned most of the songs on the plane ride from America to the Netherlands. This band is absolutely incredible.
I've been following Snarky Puppy for 11 years now, starting with their _Tell Your Friends_ album in 2010 and _GroundUP_ in 2012 (STILL one of my favorite albums). That being said, I envy the fact I will never have the experience of having never heard of them, and someone casually sending me this link on Facebook & recommending this video, saying, _"You will like this."_ Then me getting to watch the video with no preconceived expectations. I will never have that, & I envy you. That may be why I watch so many reaction videos, so I can vicariously relive that first moment through others. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve watched this clip well over 20 times and still not tired of it. I get goosebumps each time , but at different points in the performance. I’ve watched many reactions to Snarky Puppy, but yours is the best. Your expressions, your search for adequate description of what you just witnessed and your appreciation of their elite musicianship is inspiring. Thank you.
A couple of points I haven’t yet seen in the comments. 1. The verse and chorus (for lack of a more descriptive term) are both in 5/4; the chorus is twice as fast (in one live performance, M. League says it’s their version of ‘dub step’). 2. The group was formed at a University in Texas which has been a Mecca for jazz musicians for decades; SP currently calls Brooklyn NY home. 3. The reason that other keyboard player is so incensed is because earlier in the session he had his own watershed moment on a piece featuring him called “Sleeper”. He, apparently, thought he was going to have the hottest track on the album up until Corey captured lightning in a bottle with that momentous solo. If you need another SP track to listen to, I’ll offer two for you to choose from: “Something”, (feat. L. Hathaway) [SP’s 1st grammy] or “Don’t You Know”, (feat. J. Collier), a love song in 14/4.
Great reaction. Love that you were left speechless at the end, just like most people who watch it. Amazing, amazing performance from an astounding group of talented musicians.
It's very rare but Snarky Puppy are one of those bands that get you hooked to the music the very first time you listen to them. I tell everyone to check them out. Amazing group of TOP Drawer musicians. Just so damn good.
This was their recording session. It was the first time they'd played the entire song together, I think. A lot of it, including Corey Henry's solo and probably all of Larnell Lewis' drumming, was improv with a little solo prep.
@@beaulayer23 I do know Michael requires that every musician knows ALL the musicians parts and I do find that brilliant. If the keyboard soloist is out- no worries. The sax can do it. Etc. SEEMLESSLY
I've suscribed to your channel, bro. Your reaction is PRICELESS!!!! Straight up honest and full of your heart for music. As for Snarky Puppy's "Lingus", it's one of the most important and impactful peices of music I've EVER heard. I would only hope that you'd do some more on them. Separately, I'd like to see more of your reaction to Corey Henry, Michael League and Larnell Lewis. And, I'll definitely be watch THIS video a few more times!!!!
Larnell is filling in for another guy on short notice(It's reported as being a 24 hour notice). He learned the songs on the flight from the US to Netherlands. He is a monster. Now, be honest with us...how many times have you watched this since you reacted? :-)
@@PatrolNation LOL!! It has that effect, doesn't it? :-) I've lost track of how many times I've watched it, and I have no intention of stopping. Glad you enjoyed it, it's good stuff!
His video of him listening to Enter Sandman by Metallic for the first time is great. Never heard it before, listen to it and then played the drums along with the song and it was like it was supposed to be in there. That would be a good video to watch too
Once in a liftime you can hear one masterpiece like this... Such a amazing and unexpectedly good music, and the n you ask yourself (after coming back to reality...) How? How could it be that i never heard about such genius musicans...How? But then you found more beautiful music from snarky puppy and said:"Thx God for this bonus material!" Everybody (!) mean each of them is amazing but there is (for me) some kind of music goodness names Larnell! Nice to see that you had the same kind of reacton to first time hearing as I...
I'd also add the live version of "Grown Folks" to that. Once Mark Lettieri (Guitar) and Bobby Sparks (Hammond Organ) start jamming on the solo its something else... th-cam.com/video/npQO85vb00g/w-d-xo.html
Literally hundreds of reaction videos to Snarky Puppy and they are all the same reaction. The thing I love about it is that they don't think they are all that, they just want to have fun playing music.
Yeah Scott that is so true. Michael League wrote that tune on the plane ride to Europe. I think he was flying Lingus airlines, so he named it Lingus. I bet Mike is like, "gee, glad you liked it, no big deal". And yet here are literally hundreds of reactions to Lingus and the effect is the same - "WTF did I just watch? Amazing,. . . incredible". The guy is prolific
These guys are going to keep that genre alive for a long long time. they're all still pretty young and they're gonna be around to make a lot of changes too. It's just excellent stuff
13:42 Je crois que ce que j'aime le plus dans les réactions, c'est ce long moment de silence après avoir vu et entendu le morceau. C'est là qu'on sait que c'est la première fois et qu'elle est authentique... parce qu'on a tous eu la même. "Speechless" comme vous dites en Amérique. En France, on dit qu'on est "sans voix" ou "bouche bée", parce qu'on ne trouve pas immédiatement les mots pour dire ce qu'on ressent. C'est fascinant à observer. Merci à vous.
I'm not sure how far you dug in to this. But to put things in perspective, Most of the band learned the song in three days. Larnell learned the songs on a plane in 24 hours.!!!!! Madness. Actual virtuoso level shit.
You think you're amazed now, what the documentary of the making of this album. It's only about 25 minutes, but it will blow you away at how they put that together. BTW alway love your reactions.
Their skills are so above my comprehension levels that I have to listen to this in sections! Cory Henry is not of this planet! Neither is the drummer! They're communicating on some cosmic levels that are beyond us mere mortals! My brain is fried!
Justin Stanton (Trumpet, Keys) is my young cousin and I've seen The Pups 5 times. Great bunch of guys. I didn't see any egos, just incredibly talented friends having fun. The 1st time I saw them, Sput Searight just blew me away on drums. Then they added Larnell... lol Snarky Puppy - Shofukan th-cam.com/video/kk0WRHV_vt8/w-d-xo.html
You have to watch the video and reactions to it multiple times in order to wrap your head around it . Once you get it nestled in the folds of your brain, you can actually start deconstruction and paying attention to the different elements. Almost all of the reactions to this tune is laced with "ummm"'s, and "uhhhh"'s and wow's. Well that's what happens when a band goes transdimensional on you. It took me three listens to realize that the song is in 5/4 timing shifting to double time.
The new thing is guitarists trying to duplicate Cory’s solo and some have done a really amazing job at duplicating it however, what really makes that solo sing for me is what he does with his LEFT hand, and that’s the part they can never do…..
La clave 2/4 bomba two bars & two bars 3-2 rumba clave.... simple....!! Makes it change the cadence ......but they're pushing constantly the tempo to make it akward
That video is from 7 years ago. Audio Technica headphones 7 years ago. Now it would likely be Beyerdynamic. Audio Technica can't hold a candle to them.

He's Canadian and travelled from Canada - but yes - absolutely astonishing feat!
@@jvictor77 ha! While I wouldn't mind stealing him over to my country, have no problem acknowledging his Canadianess. 😁
@@jvictor77 Yes, and isn't Canada in America? 😐
@@lmizis No, it's in the continent of North America.
@@jvictor77 bro...
I WISH I could go back in time and have my 1st listen of this masterpiece once more .
Why do I love watching ALL the reactions? Probably reminds me of when I first heard this magic about two weeks ago. Incredible. Nice video mate 👌

@Patrol Gaming: Much Respect for the way you reacted during the song ... ie; MINIMAL REACTION THAT DIDN'T ENTIRELY INTERRUP THE FLOW!!!
I love how the one keyboard 🎹 player got up and was like “I’m Out” just watchin the young man play
plus that's multiple Grammy winning artist Shaun Martin, and he was legitimately as blown away by Corey's solo as we all were.
A couple of points I haven’t yet seen in the comments.
1. The verse and chorus (for lack of a more descriptive term) are both in 5/4; the chorus is twice as fast (in one live performance, M. League says it’s their version of ‘dub step’).

If you need another SP track to listen to, I’ll offer two for you to choose from:
“Something”, (feat. L. Hathaway) [SP’s 1st grammy] or
“Don’t You Know”, (feat. J. Collier), a love song in 14/4.
They all play at a very high level. They all have chops, they all know how to improvise, they all know how to groove.
My suggestion is to just fall all the way down the Snarky Puppy rabbit hole. They are all monsters.
Yeah man! Jazz, funk, fusion, blues, rock, it's all in there. Micael League and his army of badass musicians!
Top level musicians here. The whole album/video is incredible.
Agreed!
The Pinacle of Music .... takes you to another dimension ... literally .....
There is one long shot of the control room and you can see how much they are enjoying it too. A special moment when the band is just perfection.
This whole song AND album is one GIGANTIC EARGASM.
Everything on this 'We Like it Here' session is golden
Great reaction. Love that you were left speechless at the end, just like most people who watch it. Amazing, amazing performance from an astounding group of talented musicians.
The bass player Michael League is also the bandleader, and composed this piece.
It's very rare but Snarky Puppy are one of those bands that get you hooked to the music the very first time you listen to them. I tell everyone to check them out. Amazing group of TOP Drawer musicians. Just so damn good.
Want to see Larnell Lewis in action? Listen to “What about me” NEXT!!
The boundaries of music just expanded ... immensely.
This was their recording session. It was the first time they'd played the entire song together, I think. A lot of it, including Corey Henry's solo and probably all of Larnell Lewis' drumming, was improv with a little solo prep.
It was all 'written' in basic song form, bars, a/b sections, solos, etc. and the musicians were given pretty free reign within that
@@beaulayer23 I do know Michael requires that every musician knows ALL the musicians parts and I do find that brilliant. If the keyboard soloist is out- no worries. The sax can do it. Etc. SEEMLESSLY
Reminds me of the group Dirty loops- without the singing.. so so good Pat

About 8 times, I just love the pure joy on Corey's face during his solo.

Snarky are bad ass and Cory Henry on that crazy keys solo mmmmm
I don’t know where this puppy came from, but she’s snarky af.
Wow! :-) That was absolutely awsome!

I get downright emotional listening to that song
Love watching new Snarky Puppy fans be born to Lingus. You’re gonna love Family Dinner.
Great reaction. It’s so awesome when the reactor is uninitiated lol.
Their skills are so above my comprehension levels that I have to listen to this in sections! Cory Henry is not of this planet! Neither is the drummer! They're communicating on some cosmic levels that are beyond us mere mortals! My brain is fried!
Lingus is a tune about humanity’s first extraterrestrial encounter.
I have been waiting for this one. I'm excited!!!
That was phenomenal!
40 players band 25 on stage they cycle them out :)
RIP Shaun. Thanks, big guy!
Just WoW! Thats what true music is about.
We need more snarky puppy
Great reaction hahah What About Me is great too (:
WOW!
Check out "Outlier", "What About Me?", "Sleeper", and "Shofukan"... all from this same album, but all FIRE!

What I thought of it? Don’t know where that puppy came from, don’t know how or what, but that was amazing.

Yeah agree specially when he's playing chords with one and a solo with the other. Amazing
Never say never, it might be done with a Chapman stick in tapping technique.
Blah blah, where is your attempt to play this song on any instrument?
@@rebelfa20t91 What does that have to do anything? I still have an opinion about the solo.
Honest question: who doesn’t like the bass in this song? I’ll meet you out back for fisticuffs after schools out on Friday’s
Yes, multiple Fridays from here until you get it
hi PT just got home after a long busy day on duty just what i needed perfect
I’ve seen them in Australia twice
Waiting for the next one!!!!
Modern day Wrecking Crew?
Pat, speaking of amazing!! Check out Stevie Ray Vaughn and Stevie Wonder singing superstition.
You need to listen to this band with Jacob Collier! It’s mad!
La clave 2/4 bomba two bars & two bars 3-2 rumba clave.... simple....!! Makes it change the cadence ......but they're pushing constantly the tempo to make it akward
Try Flood next time. All their stuff is dope. 😎👌🏾
Do you think you're ready for some real new music. Lol, they came out in the early 70's. Mahavishnu Orchestra. Buckle up!
That video is from 7 years ago. Audio Technica headphones 7 years ago. Now it would likely be Beyerdynamic. Audio Technica can't hold a candle to them.

Hi
I don't believe that any of these "first reactions" to this song are real. They all are waaaayyy to lame and calm. Not even second or third reactions.
.....as bad as they come....
