A friend sent this to me with the message, "I don't know him, but Stanton Moore follows him. I luv this."
I didn't know Larnell Lewis either. I did know Snarky Puppy, though I haven't heard a note of their music. Larnell Lewis has been Snarky Puppy's drummer since 2014. This mindblowing solo is from a song called "Gravity," played with the Jeremy Ledbetter Trio, someone else I didn't know.
I don't think you need to be a drummer to be floored by the playing here. But as a drummer, it did make me want to toss my sticks and take up the kazoo.
If there are any Snarky Puppy fans reading, can you suggest one record that might excite me as much as this clip?

Fabulous! I really dig that and love his body language. Thank you for that share!
That was glorious! a measure of four and a measure of three or 7/8
I recently heard a drum beat that seemed technically kind of basic but it was maintained for so long I wondered if it was "easy" or maybe harder than I appreciated. I wondered this because my mom once mentioned that in ice skating the spin where a skater stays in one place and rotates always gets roars of applause but is actually quite easy. Watching this drum solo, I do NOT have to ask if it is challenging. Not show offy somehow but clearly on another level of subtlety and complexity. let us know about Snarky Puppy!
uh huh yeah damn yeah and a bunch of !!!!!! shit yeah
