      Great reaction can't wait to see more! I was oddly overjoyed/giddy for you over spotting a snare very much like yours,. I guess that would be like me seeing Rickey Henderson steal his record setting base with the same ball spikes I play in🤫. He is unreal esp considering all I could concentrate on was that funky Bass line and smooth sax!

      And I have met some so gifted, it was never too late.
      My grandmother played piano her whole life. Her first job was playing piano at a Silent Theater. It was a competitive interview. She went first. Every other applicant heard her, sighed, got up, and walked out. Except for one lady. Who had walked in, saw her, and said, "Oh. Good luck, Sally." and walked back out. But, that isn't the point of this story.
      After my grandfather passed, grandma started teaching again. One day, a lady of my grandma's age came to her, and said, "Teach me." So, grandma did.
      In 3 months, this woman was playing Chopin scores that she was seeing for the first time.

      Sometimes people don't really know if something is for them until they give it a shot, it shouldn't be considered a weakness for someone to stop pursuing something they are no longer truly enjoying. Also, I suspect the original comment was more of a light-hearted joke than something to be taken too seriously. That said, I do agree with you about the part that "greats should never cause anyone to quit" because comparison is the thief of joy, as they say, and everyone potentially has something unique to offer.

Half of you wants to just hang it up, when you realize how much there is to learn (and how much work it would take to get there), and the other half is energized and inspired by seeing what magic is possible on your instrument.

    I first heard Larnell several years ago when he was a last-minute sub for a CD release party in Toronto. I’m not even sure if it was kit. But the gig was in a funky art gallery. Our seats were literally six feet from the kit (shallow “stage” on the floor that went from the kit on the right to double bass, baby grand piano and singer). I’d always liked the drums to some extent, having played in high school. Jazz was okay to me, depending on the artist and song. But that evening made my mind explode. Larnell had never even rehearsed with the band. There were hushed conversations little longer than a football huddle and off they went. I’d never seen or heard anything so plugged in, so intuitive, so dynamic or so intimately wired into the soul of a song in my life. And I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Spoken to him very briefly a couple of times and he is SO humble that it almost hurts. And he’s always learning and sharing. To me, that’s the whole secret to life; stay humble, learn and share the good stuff.

    Honestly tragic how we've cut funding music and arts programs. Im in neither of those fields but for me music has goten me through so much and whats more, having hobbies/newly discovered passions can change one's life for the better.

      This is so true, we've funneled the youth into mindless education, memorize this memorize that. Very few schools encourage their students to pursue their hobbies and passions. Imagine all the amazing forms of art and music we'd have now if children at a young age are encouraged to pursue their passions.

    When I first saw this clip I think I watched it three times--at least the final performance by Larnell. He's truly one of the absolute greats--not only for his technical skills but the tastiness to how he approaches it. You nailed it on the head by calling him a musician, not just a drummer.

You seem to be a nice guy, and you make me think about my drum teacher who's an incredible man. Learning, hearing, understanding is all about his ways of teaching.
    It's never too late to start practicing music, so you all : no excuse !

    Absolutely incredible! You can tell the difference between a musician hearing the music and a drummer playing the song. A HUGE difference. I would bring in a friend (bassist), Ron Jenkins playing the bass part on a song and then having me (primary inst. guitar) play bass on the same tune. Ron would make it sound like he had played the song all his life when the first he heard it was his first time through to hear it. I could’ve practiced it for a week and still have user errors. Ron is not only the best bassist I’ve ever played with but he’s a great guy to just hang out with. Each night we played was like sitting front row w/Victor Wooten. I never wanted the night to end! 🎵🎶❤️😷🤘

I get the same goosebumps and mindblowing euphoria watching people who are good at the things I'm interested in showing their mastery. This was a really great video. I think I'm probably too old and too stretched thin to pick up an instrument in my life but I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for posting!

    This is legit the first time I’ve watched any of these videos. I tend to stay away from those “teacher reviews” or the like due to them being somewhat opinionated. Nothing wrong with that, just not something I want to watch. But I gave this a chance, and I’m so not disappointed. I’m an instant subscriber to this channel now. Well spoken, non opinionated and just all around feels like I’m having a conversation with the host.
    Now, about Larnell, the dude is a monster. I’ve never known anyone that can do this…learn a new song in one listen and just kill it perfectly. I’ve done probably a hundred gigs in my life where I had a day or two to learn a couple tunes and it was stressful. Larnell makes it look fun, and easy. But I know in now way could I learn something this absolutely intricately difficult and play it with such perfection with such amazing orchestration. Blows my mind to watch him play any time I see him.

    Dont usually comment too much but this is what I heard
    Planned an into of drums into the piece
    Next was to enhance /build around the core instrument which was the sax.
    Then allows the sax to lead while the drums fall back.
    During the refrain drums jump back in to contribute to the piece
    Keeps up with the sax as to say drums can stick with the sax
    During the organ solo, it was like the drums were a train and the organ was a whistle going from town to town,
    Drums fall back with the guitar solo almost playfully
    Before the piece enters the build, drums get a say in the piece with a solo,,,

    OK seriously??? Your title way undersold this. I was expecting to hear something like a rock or metal song with fairly straightforward stuff going on and then just cover it. I was not expecting a jazz piece with tons of nuance and him actually creating a drum part. I'm a lifelong violinist who is "pretty good" at drums on Rock Band (the game), so I at least can appreciate the insane level of talent here.
