Yeah same, i'm like 'wait, he can hear the drums?'

I love how he recognizes that the half-beat would mess him up, so he adapted the lines with high-hat fills to not loose track while keepin the half beat on the crashes. It ended up harder to perform than the original line, but for his mind work, the extra notes ended up helping him keep on track. A nice improvise perfect for a first-time performance. A true Genius.

"I'm assuming it's 1, 2, 3, 4?". Suddenly Larnell started to panic. That's not a time signature he's ever played before.

He claims he’s not metal but then goes right ahead and says: “I’ll take more volume”. That’s a pretty metal way to say a pretty metal thing.

I’ll often skip it if it’s on because I’ve heard it so many times but this video brought back to me the simple but powerful beauty of that signature riff and the way the drums support the song so brilliantly. It was like hearing it for the first time with Larnell.

I'm not a drummer...at 40 i developed drum envy and swear im going to find a way to start. I love this gentleman. I could watch him do active listening a whole lot.

He makes it looks so effortless! Amazing work

Watching someone who is so good at his craft dissect a tune like this is amazing. A man who is that technical walk through tune like enter sandman is awesome to watch. It was cool to see the transformation, he was very studied and near introspective in the beginning, he got a little more comfortable, loosened up and then the power of BLEEEGGGGGH compelled him to just let her rip. A lil surprised he didn't charge through the kit after. Also after seeing this I think his feet are so fast I don't know if he'd need a double pedal for blast beats. He had so much fun! So well done dude. Much Love Mr Lewis!

Important to understand, his ability to do this isn't just "Talent". It's the result of A LOT of training, education, and experience. He has knowledge about song structures and tendencies via music theory that most people don't, and is able to use that knowledge to understand a song much faster than an untrained person could.

This was too easy for a musician this good. The more modern videos in this series that play the song without drums first is a great improvement to the series! That lets viewers to learn more about each drummer's style.

This is one of my favorite songs ever and I love what he did with it, especially at the end. Rock on Larnell! 🥁🤘🏽

There's something extra metal about this dude pushing his glasses back up his nose while he's crushing this song.

That was literally almost perfection! It's amazing how you can appreciate and understand musical style almost immediately

"Let me know in the comments how I'm doing" Dude, I've been listening to this song for like 30 years and I'm still not 100% on the lyrics and you want me to let you know how you're doing? You're doing great, Larnell. Just fabulous.

wow. i had to scroll through a few of these videos in this series to find a song that i truly knew & could really grasp with full appreciation the talent behind the artist’s ability to align with a song completely unbeknownst to them & put out what sounds - to me - to be - if i closed my eyes - arguably, the original. this drummer made my love for one of my favorite songs - renewed. this artist is SO talented ! & helps me to appreciate the unbelievable talent of even those drummers in this series performing songs that - likewise - i do not know either. regardless - every drummer & every song i’ve watched in this series so far i wouldn’t have been able to differentiate from the original or not, whether i’d heard it before or not.

Love the sound of your drumkit...... that snare ❤

Even if you don't know anything about music, these videos are so interesting because it is inherently cool to see people who understand something and are passionate about it discovering something new and see how they learn it. It's just cool. Like when two people speak different languages with common roots and slowly feel each other out and can start to converse.

Phenomenal effort. Just amazing what this guy can do. Loved this video.
