Michael is the main composer/ creator for the band. They did practice/ create for 4 days before Larnell arrived but the fact that he listened to the pieces on the flight over and created his patterns and rhythms is just crazy good.

Awesome guitarist Mark Lettieri most frequently takes the spotlight solos, but in this case Bob Lanzetti lights it up, and he's really blowing the snark right TF OFF of this puppy!

9:02 that drop and riff is so heavy I have that same reaction every time.

Came here from Mr beast and see you react to my favourite band of all time, seen them live 3 times. The universe works in mysterious ways, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

I would recommend listing to the whole album tbh. But shofukan and outlier are both wonderful. Nice reaction man. keep it up

@@SoyanOsman that’s what happened to me when I first listened a couple years ago. It won’t stop lol.

5:51 He has snom as a second tom and snare. So it was deep snare and he tuned it very low and put hydraulic drumhead to it so it sound very good tom when he opens the snare, and when the snare is closed it sounds very pfat and deep snare. He also has third snare and he put cymbal on it in lingus and he got very good sound of it.

(more like an expressionist painting). I do agree though that if a puppy is sick, a vet should definitely be called.

Larnell has a video out there, for Drumio I think, were he listen's to some music that doesn't have a drum part, twice i think, writes the drum part in his head, then plays it. It's pretty dang cool and you should check that out if you haven't already.

Lanell is the coldest dude I have listened to since Graham Lear from Gino Vanelli's and Chick Corea's Dave Weckl. Dude is a machine.

The quick “Woo!” at 5:27 feels so right it might as well be written into the song

love your passion dude.

I could easily suggest every track on this album to do a reaction to, instead I'd say buy the album it's well worth it. Bear in mind that this album was recorded live and the tracks were done in 1 or 2 takes and including rehearsals this album was recorded in 5 days, in fact apart from there first 3 and last 2 albums all their other albums have been recorded in same way, in a temporary studio in front of an invited audience. The album after We like it Here was called Sylva there's a track called the Clearing you might find interesting, be warned it's very different from the We like it Here album.

I lose it every time I watch these guys and I enjoyed you, someone with the knowledge to understand how super-human these guys are, reacting the same way. I have a feeling you watched the documentary on these sessions by now but in case not, these songs were WRITTEN after they arrived in the studio to record...there was no preparation. Oh, and by the way, you'll notice NO MUSIC STANDS! All played from memory & soul. Elite doesn't even begin to describe these musicians. Peace.

6:55 "but let's see where they take this" boy you have no idea what's about to hit you

Love Snarky! This song is a jaw dropper, and this whole album is great. If you like jazz fusion, try out the prog rock jazz fusion band Thank You Scientist. All the live sessions are great. I highly recommend.... everything! But FXMLDR at Sun Lab Studios is a good one. Anchor, or Son of a Serpent, at Backroom Studios are also good. Tom Monda is one of my favorite guitarists right now.

In a seemingly endless cacophony of average, limited, and monotonous popular music, it's hard to believe that musicians this talented and this well rehearsed still exist and create truly memorable and stunningly original music. A toast to Snarky Puppy and all of the people that still seek beauty and originality in music and commit their lives to achieving it.

Recorded here in Utrecht, Holland! Its great!

Thomas! Thanks for checking out the video! Glad to hear that I've went through your favorite Snarky Puppy songs first! This name is actually new to me so I'll add that to my growing list as well!

You can tell that about 80% of this was improvised. I think the only part that probably wasn’t was the syncopated beat that he did in the middle with the guitar. But the fact that you can follow a song like that and do all that just by improvising alone is insane but every member of this band is an amazing musician on their own but when you put them in the other magic happens and that’s exactly what this song is

Hey dude! Another great reaction. I would like to recommend another band for you to react to if you like this - namely Dirty Loops from Sweden. No guitars but being a guitarist myself I can tell you already that you will appreciate it regardless! Good stuff man keep up the good work!

I actually didn't expect to get so many suggestions, but I'll fit it in asap!

You gonna love “Take it!” and “Rl’s” off of their new album (empire central), they both have their video recording released on KZread.

Larnell does have a second snare, sort of. He puts a snare head on the bottom of his floor tom for use as needed.

Love the reactions! Mainly because I had a similar reaction to this album... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? I also recommend Sleeper... some surprises on a different kind of keyboard playing, with a rubber hose. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest another artist, but being a guitarist, you probably already know this guy named Pat Metheny. Pat can do justice to many genres and holds several Grammy records for number of Grammys from consecutive releases, he has 20 Grammys from 10 different category’s and just this week announced a new album, with a jump into the classical realm. Here’s a cut from one of the more rock inspired tunes, I think you will enjoy this and possibly many of his projects of the last 45 years. I’ve been a Pat fan for 41 years and can help guide you to some truly great music, if you want. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHeEyK2zea6ch9I.html
