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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

You can always tell a drummer’s proud of their cymbal stack when they say “and it makes a sound like THIS!” with a big cheesy grin on their face.

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!

Wow. The best all around video ever. Excellent communication,drumming and editing. Wish I had this when I first started drumming 10 years ago. It took tons of YouTube videos to learn the patterns and terms described in this video. I didn’t know what to call what I was looking for or what I was doing . This is an absolute share for beginners and intermediate drummers

If you are not a drummer like me but enjoyed this, I recommend watching Larnell listen to Enter Sandman for the first time, and then immediately play it afterwards on Drumeo’s YouTube channel.

Like Eric Morecambe, (but paraphrased) I know all the beats………, but not necessarily in the right order.
That is the vast difference between amateurs and life long talented professionals…..And Larnell is a great natural teacher to boot.

Massive props to whoever edited this on the Wired team. Wired is not a drumming or music-centric organization, but I could tell that whoever put this together either has some decent knowledge of drums or really took care to research terms, gear, etc. while editing. Great visual aids and annotations, as well as placements of inserts and B roll. Very good job!

Larnell reminds me of Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the way he can easily explain something that’s very intricate. His vocabulary and ability to communicate his genius is almost as impressive as the drumming itself.
