    In an age where so many drummers are treating drums like a sport, Larnell treats drums like a musical instrument.
  • @J0hn.R
    Saw “Larnell Lewis” clicked fast! No need to think about it
  • Larnell is freaking awesome! but also props to the person who miced the set and mixed the audio, it sounds just beautiful!
  • @schaddalton
    "Larnell Lewis sits behind a drumkit in silence for 12 minutes." Me: watches all 12 minutes, likes, re-watches
  • @16CharlyV
    This dude is amazing. The cleanliness in his playing almost makes you forget this is improvised.
  • @andys3035
    Those single kick doubles are so clean
  • @natedetailscars
    There's such a narrative arc to this drum solo and I can't stop listening. Drums aren't just noise.
  • I felt that when he put the stick in his mouth and rolled with one hand. It gave me goosebumps
  • @merfibeemused
    The finesse, the subtlety, the dynamics, the feel, the smoothness and the skill is almost unreal So much more than just how fast or how hard, how loud or the number of drums in your spread. This man brings musicality and makes the drums become a melodic instrument. Larnell you are a truly God blessed and God gifted drummer🙏🏾
  • @DrBackBeat
    Oh man, I've never heard anything quite like this as a drum solo, and I can't really say that often any more. In fact, I refuse to call this a drum solo. It's a song. It's a story. It's someone dynamically sucking you into a tale.
  • @lucrative11
    When Larnell plays it’s like you keyed all the notes into a computer program. Every stroke, every accent…..it all hits 100% perfectly in time. So sick.
  • @JonahtheDrummer
    Thank you Drumeo for introducing me to Larnell. It’s always inspiring to see this absolute monster play the set.
  • @s0ryn18
    This was insanely delicate, I'm used to drum solos being mostly energetic and fierce. Also I couldn't believe this was improvised
  • @Chris-wq3pe
    This man up with the best drummers of all time, he is a gift, can play anything, but his jazz is something else. I would have loved to have heard him and Monk play together, that would have been just too far out for words
  • @eltonester6531
    I feel like I havent ever seen Larnell perform a free solo like this, it's truly beautiful to see his musicality on full display
  • @emrsny1
    Probably the most interesting and inspiring drummer to watch in the last 10 years.
  • @kc.21k
    Thank you for this Drumeo cause we all know that Larnell does his thing on every track
  • How am I only just realizing he's Canadian. As if I could love him more, now we got national pride in the mix? Hot damn.
