Drumeo has this thing where they invite someone in to hear a piece of music for the first time, then have them either replay it or they hear a version without drums and they make their own rhythm.
In this episode Larnell Lewis listens to a song for the first time and plays it immediately from memory.
I suspect it’s genuine. He’s good. There’s always a little room for skepticism though.
People make fun of how simple Lars’ drumming is, and it most certainly usually is, but that is unbelievably impressive to hang onto so many of the details. The way he hangs onto every component of the drumming…I’ve listened to the song hundreds of times and he remembered the drumming better than I could after his first listen.
I love watching the people come on and apply music theory and point out the patterns. It has made me listen harder to new stuff
