I think it comes down to the tone of the music. This type of fusion is just so fun! Hard not to smile. I generally prefer listening to metal, but it's usually more serious, even when it's more on the bombastic side it's not as "fun".

@@findtheearth Yeah, as someone whose two favorite genres are jazz and metal, and is usually more of a metalhead, I'm going to say that jazz is way more likely to make you just grin ear to ear.

I think the beauty of Larnell’s pocket is the sheer range of his dynamics, most of the kit stays so quiet and he just hits those accent beats so heavy. Wish more drummers could do this.

@wibblewobble1934

He's a true musician at heart that respects ALL the instruments and allows to give them space when needed, always thinking of every aspect of the piece as a whole. But yeah, his dynamic range is just stupid good. A true god of drums.

He’s such a beast. This just proves way more of how amazing of a drummer he is. Thanks for the reaction to this. Can’t wait for season 2

Larnell is NUTS! he's a prof at Humber college here in Canada, Toronto to be specific. he is also a straight up humble nice human.... had to audition in front of him like 5 years back and i was extremely nervous because of how into Snarky Puppy I was at the time. Big Cheers from Canada and great job exposing drummers all over to us :)

I reacted similarly when I saw Crowley too. He does the announcing at these Zildjian live gigs. Very cool! Larnell is a monster!

I've had the pleasure of working with larnell multiple times in the studio. And every time it's just a jaw dropping lesson in what is possible

Yeah dude! I am so glad you reacted to this, when this video came out on Zildjian channel, I watched it like 15 times in a row, is so good, and with your funny reactions and comments on top it's even better! Thanks man, love from Italy ❤️🥁

Larnell is an immensely talented beast of a player, and also one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met. He did a drum clinic in Montreal during the Montreal Jazz festival, and he brings so much heart and passion to his playing and teaching, and just being a good person. Unrelated: tell me how come that bass player looks like Snoop in disguise lol

fantastic. i learn so many good expressions from these videos woven in with the drumming commentary.

Love the videos man, just wanted to say my drum teacher actually went to school (Humber Collage) with Larnell Lewis which I thought was pretty cool. Keep up the good work and keep making videos!!!

Zildjian Live is a phenomenal series... awesome to see a reaction! Kaz Rodriguez is one of my favorite episodes

So I have recently discovered you during this quarantine and have had a blast with your videos. As a death metal musician, but of course love all music, thank you for keeping an open mind and focusing on the creativity and talent instead. You're awesome!

I guess isolation makes us telepathic? No? Would love to see more non-metal from you, and more stuff where you recommend your favourite drummers, too. 👊🥁💪

Dude, I love your enthusiasm, it's extremely infectious and just what I need right now haha. Keep it up mate, you've got a new sub in me.

As a Metalhead, I can see why you love this stuff....it's killer. I love it. Thanks for introducing me to new stuff👍

At 8:11 you can see Randy Cooke just smiling away. He's another killer Canadian drummer, and Yamaha guy....his resume is quite impressive.

That drum solo gave me chills 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Haha! Dude....that was awesome. Great watching it with you (feels like that anyway). Dang that was nasty! Woo!

I rewound this so many times! Especially during the solo at the end. Jeeeeeesus! "This guy's fucking good at drums." I fucking concur 🤯

I had the fortune to see Larnell play at Humber college on the regular. Anything recitals he played on had the whole music dept watching with jaws dropped.

you should check out his solo on "The City Lights", written by himself! absolute beast mode!

Love the positive vibes and Grooove!..

I haven't been out of my house for 7 days now, THANKS for the videos :)

I'm glad you got around to this one. Such a great video/performance! Larnell is such a fantastic drummer & musician. Another great video from the Zildjian live series is the new one with Matt Greiner (August Burns Red). Matt is another solid drummer. Check it out when you get a chance!

Larnell is a beast and no offence to him he deserves all the praise, but Pridgen absolutely KILLED in this zildjian video series. Absolutely murdered it

Larnell is an absolute beast! Love that solo so much, and all that ‘space’ in his playing 🔥 And that pocket, man, listen to the bass and all that slapping and popping going on…. Loved your appreciation of that track :) For another weirdly named fusion band, check out Swedish pop/jazz/funk trio Dirty Loops and their Metheny inspired track “Work Shit Out”, with some mean bass and keys playing and a fire drum solo. I’d be very, very interested in your reaction to that-! 👍 Thanks bro 🙏

Was going to recommend this! The Thomas pridgen one is enjoyable as well 🙏🏽

Thomas Pridgen Zildjian Live and this one... AMAZING!!! All the videos are great but these two, DAAAAAAMN!!!

I'd like to see more of this... Mix it up some more, I love extreme music but it's nice to see you react to music that inspires you. Stay safe and healthy.

Your videos always give me some good suggestions for new bands. It has already been said but I think you should continue on reacting to metal but there are also other types of music with great drumming.

Man I just discovered your channel in the KZread galaxy and I just wanna leave a big thumb up and a sub for sure, I think you're a very chill and smart guy to consume haha. Keep it up👍

He didn’t pay attention to the fact them at Larnell literally slapped the cymbals with his am hands at the end🔥

What I saw I think is illegal in 20 states. It is that great! I'll never listen to music the same way again, I can't unhear that MASTERPIECE.

"Get it! Fucking funky ass bass player" - me every time mono neon is on the screen

I’m really glad he noticed “Crowley” in the background. I thought I was crazy seeing him in this festival

I’m just laughing at how he was feeling it in the first 15 seconds...I’m thinking to myself U have no idea what’s to come. 😭
