Unlike many other drummers, this gentleman doesn't just keeps the beat or concentrated on technique too much, he is a MUSICIAN first and foremost, with impeccable taste, every time he actually PLAYS the song and does that thoughtfully and effortlessly. giving each song its own unique texture and character. He plays not only with his hands and feet, but with his head too, so to speak. I have to admit I didn't know anything about Larnell before, but was very happy to 'find' him.
100% agree. I’ve seen drummers with amazing technique like Dave Weckl, but with Larnell I think his musicality always comes first; he is never ‘showing off’.
It's his song, but it's like it's not even about him. This is absolutely beautiful.
U better preach
I'm a simple man: I see a Larnell's video, I throw a like in; then I watch it
Bro that's the realest comment in 2021...I do the exact same thing
haha, i'm guilty of this
That is the correct order.
same :D
This feels like I'm driving downtown New York at night with my favorite Cigar in hand.
What's that cigar?
Favorite cigar i get. Driving in downtown NY; nowhere near as smooth and peaceful.
Reminds me of a clip from this video th-cam.com/video/7dRVPKDJZb8/w-d-xo.html . Check the 4:50 - 5:20 timestamp
This really does need to make it into a movie soundtrack.
exactly
One the most if not the most articulate drummers of our era. True musicianship. Really appreciate and love the work you do keep it up!! HEAT!!
check out brian blade :)
@@bobafat1830will do👌

He transcended the concept of playing drums. it really feels like the kit is alive and he's just translating what it has to say.
I’m 53 years old and this brings me back to my childhood days at the bicycle shop I grew up in. That’s all my dad played was jazz. And this sound just took me back to a happy place in my life. Outstanding! 🙏🏽
Not only is Larnell’s playing at the highest tier of drumming, but the video production quality is SO great in all of these studio videos as well! Inspired me to go film so more content and TRY to make my videos look this great!
the little tap of the china at the end was 100% necessary and nobody can convince me otherwise
When is Vans going to drop the Larnell Lewis edition?
Lol ikr. It's his favorite shoes.
Halfcabs. I'm guessing.
Vans should totally sponsor him.
Would buy :)

TRUEEE
Just found this masterpiece. I absolutely LOVE the way the bass and drums compliment each other. Also it's admirable how the composer is a drummer but the drums are neither less nor more since he doesn't have that egocentric attitude. Phenomenal!
My son highlighted you for our church’s Black History Program.
You’re truly admired and beyond an inspiration to this little 6yr old drummer here in Chicago!

Plays so simple, complex and easy all at the same time.... can't explain
You literally CAN’T explain it 🥹😭
This is one of the songs that my 6 year old daughter listens to religiously everyday. Such an amazing song.
Man this is great. Ever since I came across your music and your songs with Snarky Puppy, that’s all I’ve been listening to as of late. This music take you on a journey.
His snare drum is the most perfect sound I've heard in like, all music?
I know when I click on a Larnell video it's gonna be killer, but his playing still gets a visceral reaction out of me every time. Just unreal taste
No gimmicks. Just the raw and pure sound of real, acoustic instruments played by real, mature musicians to a real, thoughtful composition. Nowhere to hide. Just brilliant from all involved.
So smooth at the kit. Love his style and great personality from Drumeo videos I’ve seen. Would that I had a 100th of his talent.
3:58 - this high-hat "ssssp" is gorgeous. I'have been watching this for 20+ times now :) genius
Larnell may well be the most musical drummer on the planet.
Faaactttsss💯💯💯
Also: +Brian Blade +Jeff Hamilton +Joey Baron +Dave King +Trilok Gurtu +Danny Gottlieb +Paul Wertico +Joe Morello
Beautiful! Reminds me a lot of Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band. Keep up the great tunes, LL!
The Brian Blade Fellowship band was one of the main influences for this! I wrote this song back in college, but finished it after attending a very inspiring concert by the BBF
Wait. You wrote this, Larnell?!
Also, I’m not familiar with Brian Blade’s drumming, but his brother Brady is great. I believe he played a tour (and album?) with the Indigo Girls years ago that showcased amazing chops, groove, and creativity. I was blown away and super inspired. I’ll have to check out Brian’s work now, too.
@@LarnellLewisMusic totally get some John cowherd vibes around minute 5. Great tune!
I was literally going to comment this! Really feeling the Brian Blade Fellowship here.. @Larnell Lewis Music i'll never forget shaking your mightily powerful hand before the Snarky gig in Melbourne a couple of years back. Take care
Great observation. I love Brian Blade! Very unique style, extremely musical, very “loose” playing style. I can recommend watching this one: th-cam.com/video/6qwv2f5m0xM/w-d-xo.html
His solo at the end is also amazing.
Mmmmmmm Larnell, that's not a cymbal on your right, that's literally a trigger for a massive ocean wave sample and I love it.
MATT!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Larnell and the german drummer Paul Sennewald are my favorite modern Jazz drummers.
Your drumming always inspire me , whenever I watch your videos I always get something new, God bless you more ♥️,
Dude his facial expressions they really give you the immersive experience i mean yes Larnell i feel the same about this specific section and it is just wonderful!! thanks for this masterpiece
Comfortably some of the most tasteful playing I've ever seen in my life. If not, the most.
This whole video is a vibe. From the actual music to the rug & lamps, to the overall color grade lol
Loving the cymbal selection for this recording. Especially that riveted china, that thing sounds so good
What is this china? It's EXQUISITE, incredible!!!!!!!
@@Adiaf8oros Looks like a prototype..
Definitely in the the 'K"family. Maybe a K CONSTANTINOPLE China ??
@@Adiaf8oros Yeah it's a K Constantinople Prototype Swish Knocker, I've been drooling over them since they first came out lol
Agree man, big cymbals are sexy and that china is so sensitive, with texture in abundance!
Clearly. Clearly. When God was handing out talent, I was last in line.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you the definition of fluency. My GOD.
3:59 is literally the coolest and most unique Hi-hat technique I have EVER heard/seen.
Check out Dan Mayo, he does stuff like that all the time. He's unreal.
You should see the video he did for Zildjian Live.
@@gav_mac , I have. He does it there as well. 😎
Larnell on Drumeo, Larnell here.... What's going on, Larnell?
Thanks very much!!!
¡Eres de los más grandes!
Virtuoso. Mr. Lewis belong in the same category with Maya Angelo and Pablo Picasso.
Ugh. Who is this versatile and badass?LL, you are an absolute slayer. You’re playing a different sport than the rest of us.
I’m watching you from Turkey! 5 And 6
This man makes you fall in love with music!
How can you not like this
The 5:02 I can listen to this ballad part all day so much feel it’s awesome....well the whole song is amazing but that part on is awesome
One of my favorite drummers. Absolute legend and master at this craft.
Larnell could been playing in the 50s, he'd blend right in, any era.
I feel like he would have been great friends with Elvin.
You have never failed to leave me speechless Larnell... I have watched this over and over and still can’t begin to comprehend your impeccable feel. You continue to inspire me with every note you play. Thank you for everything you do in the music community!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for being such a great artist Larnell. Watching your videos brought my passion to drumming back. I wish one day I can see you play live! Keep it up
Ah the magic that can be done on a small kit when you have technique. Inspirational performance. So good.
Definitely my favourite song on 'In The Moment'... Mr Lewis is pure inspiration, through and through.... Always speaking to the innermost parts of people's beings through his music and playing... 🙌🏽🙌🏽
that carpet literally brings memories
Touch, feel, dynamics = musicality... it’s an honour to have you i my circle of musical friends
3:51 wow.....this drum solo is real art!!!👏👏👏👏😍😍
How he did that at 3:34 ~ 3:35 (with his left hand) . That is just out of this world.. And it really is a city vibe going on.. You really are an amazing artist
I love the music You all together play, and i follow Larnell sice i heard him the first time with S. Puppy - but i would have very much liked to see as well the other musicians - not only to hear them - sorry but like one child I will everything of it - I'm so far away to personally drop in and see all of you!. . . ALL TOGETHER MADE IT! but I can only hear all of you. Anyhow y'll lay down with closed eyes and have the most of it -THANKS a lot and keep on doing - and thanks for makin the drums more than a rithmic instrumet, YOU MADE OF IT A MUSIC INSTRUMENT and with it you sing, talk, confess . . .
When I was young The Professor was my hero, both from his playing and from his gentle and humble spirit combined with wisdom and how he chose to impart it on others in a sincere way. I can sincerely say that you have replaced him in that role, and I'm appreciative.
You're the best Larnell. I admire you always bro, one of the most blessed drummers in the world.
This should be seen by every one on earth. It's just that amazing!!!!!!!
no.
Feels like every single note you play fits the song just perfectly. That was beautiful.
He is not just playing music... He is feeling it. Great tone and definition of strokes... So clean. Great job. 🙌👏
The cymbals sound beautiful
I loved that video ! The music, the ambiance... thank you so much !! Such a great Jazz tune !
Larnell, ur such an inspiration, God Bless you.
Man... this is my new favourite Larnell Video... hands down.... I love it. Saw you in a clinic in South Africa man. You're an incredible human!
as always mr.lewis a total joy to listen to:) thank you for the music..
It's as if your hands are floating over the cymbals and every hit so clear and distinct. So beautiful
Wow Larnell! I’m hearing so much in here. Some Tony Williams. Some Brian Blade. And a lot of Larnell too! Complicated, but also comprehendible and intentional. Thanks for the great music.
man that swish ride sounds delicious!!!!!!
Feel like I'm in a movie. Like a mafia movie or something.. This is a masterpiece.
Larnel you inspired me in playing drums god bless!!
Just two words..... sweet & beautiful, thankiu so much for this piece.
I love the cool down parts. 5/4 and 6/4 work great in this song
Man I feel like I woke up in a 50s jazz lounge, it has the real vibe and feel of that era. What a way to start the day listening to this.
Awesome playing! There are lots of those who beats drums. Then there are those who plays drums. Lots of those too. And finally, those who paint rhythmical & tonal patterns. Those are more rare. Like Larnell, and Dave Weckl, to mention two.
This guy's control is off the chain...
Time and space
What a set of cymbals! Lush!
Fantastic production quality, superb drum tones (those cymbals! pure butter!), and about that performance ... You (sir Lewis) were already at the top of my 'musical drummers'-list, but now I have to put you on my 'most tasteful & smooth jazz drummers'-list as well. Amongst the GOATs. You did that. Sir, well played. Well. Played.
Goddamn Larnell! Where have you been all my life!?! Absolutely beautiful sounds. Every instrument is telling their own story, yet they all come together to unite and tell one beautiful, complex yet translatable story. You have gained a new fanatic in me today ❤❤❤
As this song came to a close, I noticed my entire body was covered with Goosebumps.
At long last I've found my favorite genre of music and subsequently the musician who plays it. Got to thank my friend for sending this my way. I've been looking for this music ever since I played Final Fantasy. The track "Can't Catch A Break" is my favorite from the 13 series. Can't wait to hear more from ya. Cheers.
The Great Larnell Lewis - I'm blessed to have live in your Era 🇿🇦
Agreed.
My favorite drummer 💯🔥🔥
I like watching him play… he looks like he’s having fun…
the whole this was stunning but that last 1:30 is so gorgeous and expressive. You truly are the GOAT
thank you for this Larnell its really beautiful, you are awesome and one of my biggest inspirations, thank you master
Love it! Thanks for the music. Can literally visualise strolling the busy city streets, enjoying the hustle and bustle, a feeling long gone for most of us these days.
If "invention" had a sound, this is the sound of invention.
Larnell continues to be student of music period which makes his drumming out of this world. Sincerely God given talent that he hones in on and gives us lasting memories.
You have such a light, but powerful and meaningful, touch. Reminds me of becoming one with something, like the line between playing and being played just dissipates within the flow of the music. Just beautiful, a truly remarkable inspiration. Much love from Portugal, hope to see you live one day :)
It's impossible, not to love, what this man is doing.
Beautiful. My favourite of the series.
Lovely. Absolutely fantastic drum sound, some amazing playing - LL does it again.
Perfect sound, and highly detailed performance. My favorite new drummer. I think Larnell is totally underrated. Perfect cymbal selection n drum tuning. Amazing all across the board. I look forward to every video upload from you !!!!
Feeling every note and the expression flows through the sticks and to the skins Very beautifully played and a very traditional feel.Never ceases to blow my mind AMAZING!!
Serios Larnell, in my opinion, you are the greatest feeling and best drummer now a days. I`m glad to see and hear your sound every video. Thanks and congratulations for your amazing job! Come to Brazil please! It will be a pleasure! See you!
Damn mans just vibing and playing drums at the same time
Smooth ❤️
This is actually my favourite song from the album. Wonderful. 😃🥁
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. You are the best.
I love this song. This has made me to love seeing jazz even more. Well played Larnell 🎺1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🥇
Those cymbals sounds like heaven, and my God what a beautiful tune, so mind opening
It’s always fascinating to witness this kind of talent. He plays so tastefully and plays exactly what it needs to be played. Amazing drummer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great music, with a great musician, and in a very nice setting. Many thanks for this magic moment Lewis.
Please so smoothly and the accents on each note on the base is terrific. My man is a bad a**.
Absolutely awesome drumming perfection !!!!
What a beautiful player. I’m so inspired every time I listen to this cat. Respect ✊🏾
