Larnell Lewis Drum Solo with Snarky Puppy (breaks kick pedal)
An excerpt from Snarky Puppy live at the Cheltenham Festival 2017. Larnell Lewis starts a ripping solo and breaks his kick pedal; he manages to change the pedal (without leaving the kit) and finish the solo in style.
The day following the gig I saw Larnell perform in a masterclass with Micheal League and Bill Laurence; both musicians commented on Lewis's ability to "make the best" of the moment and his world class showmanship.

I mean it's just a vamp with a drum solo, but Mike and Snarky are great at writing tunes that give the band members opportunities to shine. It makes for a great live show. It's less abouts friendship and more about entertainment, but obviously they wouldn't be in stage together if they weren't tight.

Well, they compose in the overall structure of the song, and where the solos are gonna be, and their solos tend to sound similar each time they're played (and can you blame them?) but it's full of improvisation beyond that. It was Larnell's solo, so Mike held the line. Larnell hadn't brought it back home when his kick broke, so Mike waited and kept holding. :)
How coooooooooooooooool is Michael League. I'd need therapy after playing that riff 956 times.

I think this might be one of the very few, if not the *only*, video I've seen on KZread where the person filming on their smartphone started out vertical and then realized not long after they started recording that horizontal would capture way more of what they are looking at. I wish I could give you and extra upvote just for that alone. Also, this is amazing! I've seen drummers break sticks many, many, times during a song and then quickly replace them with a new one without missing a beat, but to have your kick drum beater break during a song? I'm pretty sure a lot of other drummers wouldn't have recovered from that as easily as Larnell did here.
Larnell Lewis is absolutely one of my favorite drummers of all time. Innovative, entertaining, and incredible! I fucking Love SNARKY!

He's really Kool both on and off stage. I met him just a few years before he got with Snarky Puppy. He came to my Island #Grenada with #Eddie_Bullen, and they did a workshop before the show. He instantly he became my favorite drummer/person. It was my first Jazz gig and I learned so much. He let me use his stick bag, pedal and cymbals, and gave me two pairs of sticks after the show (he used Vater Sugar Maple back then, before switching to ProMark)
Damn, that kit sounds great as well!
God damn! My fingers would have cramped up horribly 1/8 the way through that bass riff. This is THE band of our times, right here.
Michael League is a legend
He is on such an incredible level of musicianship, it's uncanny.

Thank you so much for turning the camera in the correct direction!
S/O to Michael for holding that baseline down!!! S/O for the quick replacement pedal!!! Mr. Lewis blazzed even harder after the replacement and he always pulls out something new(to me) when goes in! Great video 🔥🔥🔥
These guys are amazing, most talented musicians I have heard in a while.
I play drums since 20 years now... I never heard someone break a drum pedal -> that man is an animal - legendary
