    Now, this is a very useful and cool video about drumming!. Man! It was awesome, I’m a drummer myself, and this video may be used perfectly as an introduction for someone who is interested to learn about drumming, this video shows a global view of drumming in a way that is easy, entertaining, accurate and very didactic… Larnell, you are a true educator and an awesome musician!

    Back in the 1940s, jazz pianist Art Tatum used to play for friends after the club closed, and I would have loved to just sit and listen to him groove. I now feel that way about Larnell Lewis.

  5. Emthe20something

    March 9, 2023 at 7:18 pm

    Yes breath Larnell. Breathe! But amazing solo at level 13 and amazing to see him in the pocket and knowing what his brain is thinking as the levels roll up into singular moments.

  6. Marlon D'Trini

    March 9, 2023 at 7:27 pm

    Man, you are the greatest. I love the way you break it down. When I grow up, I want to be able to play just like you 👍🏿

    Larnell is amazing per usual, but shout out to the editor of this video. Labeling the elements of the final drum solo was next level – great stuff!

  12. BBT609

    March 9, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    Larnell is the drummer’s drummer. He & Robert Sput Searight have given us the tools in finding the ART in drums, sounds and dynamics in a beautiful way!!!

    It’s impossible to watch this, and not immediately feel inspired to get behind the kit. Thank you Larnell 😭

  14. z.browning

    March 9, 2023 at 7:55 pm

    The best advice is right at the end – you don’t always have to play fast, you don’t always have to play complex.

  15. David Pearls

    March 9, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    This video just eliminated the need for beginner drum classes lol. One insane detail he didn’t point out is he always keeps te backbeat going, even when he goes all out in the fills, listeners or bandmates never get lost that way. Beautiful.

    Cool video. I’m self-taught of a couple years (haven’t played lately due to some physical issues), and it’s very cool to see where I feel very comfortable vs. not at all (rudiments and polyrhythms).

    As a classically trained percussionist, I’m proud to say I actually can do all 13 levels on drum kit, not very well mind you, but I’m just glad none of these are like things I can’t do

  63. Philippe Yamagata

    This is so sick. So much respect to Larnell and to how he’s explaining all these nuances about drumming so accessibly!

    And this impeccable editing…is there some collaboration with whoever is doing some of Meinl’s artist feature videos too?

  78. Neoking

    March 12, 2023 at 5:16 pm

    Exceptional. The editing was as flawless and helpful as Larnell’s drumming. As a self-taught drummer who has a lot of holes in my knowledge (can play some advanced fills but struggle sometimes with limb independence or maintaining polyrhythms) , I am definitely going to be coming back to this.

  79. Chema Siller

    March 12, 2023 at 5:18 pm

    Nice, i would add on the first levels, the way the haptic feedback feels on the bouncing with the drums or cymbals, your wrist really gets to know the feel and you can make repetitive strikes more easily. For me, it marks an insane difference when playing with sticks because i play with brushes.

    Man, to have Larnell as a teacher would be beyond epic!!! You’re right up there with my inspiration, Stewart Copeland. I mean, I’m amateur level. And it would be for hobby. Still, I would love to learn all the way. It’ll happen though. I’m sure of it. 😏

    Few years back, Larnell Lewis came and gave a workshop in dubai, UAE. His Explanations were lucid and clear, he went over ever thing he was teaching so many times, and also how he learnt things. It was so inspiring. I didn’t know who he was at that time, but he left me with an impression which i’ve kept in my head for so long now. I talked to him and he just seemed like a really nice and down to earth person.

    Larnell is one of the best drummers I’ve seen in years. And the fact that he actually knows how to teach what he knows in a clear, concise way… as well as being a player at such a high level… is an extremely rare combination. I’ve met so many great musicians who barely know how to have a two-way conversation with an average human being, let alone teach their art.

  179. ToyKeeper

    March 16, 2023 at 9:18 am

    I think perhaps the single most helpful drum lesson I ever had was when Dennis Chambers explained how to play in the pocket. And it wasn’t even because of the pocket. He made the point that, as long as you feel the underlying beat in your core like it’s your own heartbeat, and keep the primary drum strikes on those beats… you can embellish and improvise pretty much whatever you want around it and it’ll sound okay. Sprinkle on as much flavor as you want, but it’s gotta have a solid core.

    I don’t even know how to start. “Meet” Larnell by YT suggestions on the “Enter Sandman” video and was hook up. Even not being a drummer (not enough coordination), I love everything around this instrument. And seeing Larnell explaining/teaching/sharing his love of it, it’s just amazing! Video editing is also extremely on point, making SO EASY to “see” what he just explaining with captions over the drum kit, that’s perfect!

    Easily one of the best drummers of recent years, and as a drummer my self who understands most of that stuff, he completely nailed every part of that, while still professionally restraining his ability to what was needed to be taught.. The dude is ao chill as well. What a blessed dude.
