Flams between foot and hand are only the beginning with Lewis. Most impressive drummer I think I've ever heard. Not lacking any chops, seemingly never loses track of where the beat falls, all the speed you want in both feet and hands, and an incredible listener with the vocabulary to respond to the soloist. Oh, and clean as a whistle, even when it gets really busy.

At 3:42 Reynolds responds to Lewis’ call. Lewis repeats the response to let Reynolds know that he is listening too. Lewis consistently places beats when Reynolds takes his breaths. Later at 4:15 Lewis hears Reynolds’ accents on the upbeat and changes grooves. At 4:34 they’re locked into the same pattern creating an incredible build up. At 4:55 Reynolds loses his headphones right at the peak of the section. Lewis notices this and continues to fill the space with a massive fill. And to think that Lewis had limited time to learn these songs on top of it being live is mind blowing. I’ve heard of Bob Reynolds before from John Mayers live in LA album from 2007, but, I’ve never heard of SP before. How have I never heard of these guys before now?

Bob's solo builds up so well because of his use of silence to punctuate each line. Just listen to the pauses he makes, they're so perfectly implemented! Gotta transcribe some of this...

I think the factor that makes all these "We like it here" solos so damn good is L. Lewis, his drumming just bring the improvisations to another level

That phrase at 3:13, everytime I hear it, makes me want to slap my computer. Bob Reynolds is crazy. And Larnell Lewis needs to go to an asylum - the interplay with Bob during his solo was just phenomenal. Kudos to Justin Stanton for writing such an amazing tune, the composition really does fit the title - it's a very weird but cool song!

Larnell and the sax player are a miracle!

The downfall of a drummer- especially a jazz drummer- is when one doesn't listen to the soloist. Good jazz drummers- the ones I want to play with- are those that do 3:39- when the soloist does a roll lick and the drummer responds with a roll on the snare. And in 3:44 when the his 4 note lick (2 sixteenth, eighth, downbeat) is mimicked on the snares a beat later. That is sick. Improv and response. Don't play jazz without listening like that. Its being "in tune" a different way.
