I think of Larnell like the Tom Morello of drummers. He just makes sounds with the drumset that you never realized were possible, let alone in a musical context. True master of his craft.

Love your reactions Jeff! Love how you express so much joy in what you're listening to all the time!

[FAMUCHOLLY]

Love your reactions man! Your enthusiasm and knowledge shine like a super nova!!
Thanks for the video!

[jabbaduhut]

Great reaction. The musical director/keyboard player (in black knit cap) is Robert Searight, the original drummer for Snarky Puppy. He was the drummer playing during your reaction to "The Flood". These players are so talented.

[Adonya]

I haven't played an instrument since '85, but I am so here for your channel!

[ironkim]

Unreal!!!! Crazy!!! Another great reaction and insightful comments!! I always love hearing your perspective and take on things! Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!

[hiighflyer]

Oh man Jeff!! I've been eagerly waiting for this one! I had no idea Larnell existed until I saw Lingus for the first time about a year and a half ago and like you he quickly became my favorite drummer. The thing I love about him is how he always plays with the idea of supporting the entire band's efforts. Never overshadowing anyone and is the perfect accompaniment for any group. I've been binging these Zildjian Live sessions lately and let me tell you there are some real gems... Kaz Rodriguez, Gergo Borlai (aka "The Hungarian Nightmare) LOL Marcus Gilmore.... The list is endless. Would love to see your first time reactions to any of these! Keep up the great work man!

[rafisyailendraputra]

yes... I am with you on how blissful it is to have unrestricted command over the instrument like Larnell Lewis, like Cory Henry, like Mono Neon, like Eddie Van Halen, like Al Jarreau, like Hiromi Uehara, like Niccolò Paganini, like Nicola Benedetti, like... gosh there's so many amazing people out there!!

[mattman]

For those curious the name of the song is Change Your Mind by Larnell Lewis.

[FAMUCHOLLY]

Went back and listened to Mono Neon's bass performance. Like you said, HE REALLY SMASHED IT TOO!! A lot of little things that really helped expand the experience.
And I know you heard and saw how Nate complimented Larnells solo.
These guys really put together a great song... different than Larnells original.
Thanks Jeff for getting me to reconsider this one...

[rhythmicdisciple]

Great observation about Mono Neon, him and Larnell's bass drum are inexplicably locked in the middle section.

[frederickliles]

Thank you so much for reacting to this one! Ironically, I had a similar reaction when I first seen this video as well. Cheers again. Take care 😀

[rushsk]

Coconuts by Larnell Lewis is one of his best songs. It just bleeds effervescent joy

[Deezel]

The one we've all been waiting for! :D Awesome reaction, once again, man. 'Love your notes on the subtler details like the keyboard patch as well. If you wanna see another example of a drummer making "creative" use of his kit, Benny Greb would be another one. His VFJams episode (Vic Firth's equivalent of Zildjian Live) has him hitting the shell of his floor tom as percussion. :D That one has a sick solo from Mark Lettieri as well, so it might be one for you to check out.

[chrishexx]

I watch this regularly, it's phenomenal. I also highly recommend Matt Greiner, for the drumming, compostion and killer bass solo by Cody Wright

[matto]

Larnell is a scary beast (all of them).
When Mono is in the mix you can be sure he´s paying RESPECT to the fonky side of things ;-)
I LOVE the bouncy side of this, absolutely my kind of sauce and it´s "old style" (70s) kind of Fusion. MORE
...and thank you for breaking down your point of view for us - very educating!

[RC]

I really enjoyed this, I have not heard of this band before

[robotmilker]

That drummer is out of this world! DAMN! I love this soo much!

[erichart]

Jeff, It's great to hear and see how you express your enjoyment🎉 I don't know how I've missed so much great music and so many great musicians, but last year I discovered Larnell in the "Drummer hears song for the First Time" videos. Now, I'm a huge fan.👏SO much great music out there. Hope to hear your reaction on Snarky Puppy's Sleeper soon.

Larnell the master 🙌 my favorite one of the first season of zildjian live !! Yeah Change your mind that you can find in another version with no live arrangement but quite interesting too 🔥
