Larnell Lewis Hears A Song Once And Plays It Perfectly

Want to see Larnell Lewis hear a drumless song once and nail it, form and feature, on his first run through? Hit that play button! How can Larnell learn songs so quickly? How did he learn almost the entire We Like It Here album by Snarky Puppy on a 7.5 hour flight to record in Europe? Watch him work through his process of listening to the song’s details, understanding sections and forms, and looking for shots and nuances.

He also listens to what the other musicians are playing and understands that when those things happen, “you have certain options you can draw from on the kit.” Think you can nail it on the first go like Larnell? The song is called ‘Chick’s Pain’ by Mathieu Fiset and is available in the Drumeo Members’ area! The fastest way to get faster on drums: υ
