Larnell Lewis is a jazz fusion drummer. He's INCREDIBLY talented and is just a generally all around great dude. Recently Drumeo has had him come in and hear a song for the first time, analyze it (on the spot), and then play the drum portion of the song.

In this vid he take on "Enter Sandman". I know, hard to believe he's never heard it before but it's true.
If you ever want to marvel at someone's talent while at the same time feeling really bad about your own lack of it, watch Larnell.

I hope y'all enjoy this as much I do.

Hasn't Lars always been considered a mediocre drummer?

He does it with a more difficult song as well, he's just an incredibly talented drummer. The video is more about breaking out of your genres you are comfortable with, there is no reason you have to listen to only one kind becuase that is what is expected.

I don't necessarily doubt that he hadn't heard it before, but I don't think he could pull off the entire song after 1 listen. The major structure, maybe, but not all the nuances.

But really I want to tell him "now do Pneuma"

The 30yr run of successful reality TV shows has proven that people prefer obviously faked crap with good production value over an accurate depiction of events (and I say that as someone who's watched waaay too much reality tv).
The reaction video trend is even more masturbatory because the whole point of them is to kiss up to the viewer - hey this band or song or movie scene you've liked for 30yrs, here is some justification of your taste where we pretend someone has never seen/heard of it and then they say how awesome it was.

Haha. The whole time I was thinking: "want to impress me, try this one"
