Fun fact: the keyboard player you mention that is losing his sh%& and walking away in the Lingus video is five-time Grammy award winner Shaun Martin. That's how black belt everybody is here.

Snarky Puppy won a Grammy this year. That goes to show even the Grammy's can't ignore greatness.

Metal and jazz fusion have so much in common it's rediculus

Outlier from this same album is definitely worth a reaction

Imagine being in a band with Larnell, soundchecking at a show, and looking at the faces of other bands as the engineer asks him to 'go around the kit'.

That guitar solo is so fucking perfect

Yeah bro these dudes are no joke!! I go back and forth between nodding, being shocked by the badassery, and laughing

Larnell, after playing this track, wept because there were no more worlds to conquer....

The guys in the production room are going ape shit when Larnell kicks of his solo! haha

That guitar solo gave me crazy goosebumps several times

The We like it here sessions is the greatest album recording sessions ever witnessed by an audience, all these years later and the people who were there probably realise just how lucky they were.

NICE! Outlier next! Outlier is a PERFECT example of when a drummer and another soloist are just in total sync with one another. Straight up flow state.

What a rabbit hole you've fallen into! Snarky Puppy is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. You should listen to every freakin' song from this session as there are NO weak links. Go with Shofukin next. As a metal guy, you might be interested in prog stuff, which Shofukin definitely harnesses some King Crimson stuff in it's outro. Anyways, I'm enjoying watching your mind be blown, from one drummer to another! You gained another sub.

You must do Outlier from this record! And also Sleeper. Shaun Martin does talk box on his keyboard and it is amazing! And then you have 5 or 6 more albums of pure gold to dig into

@ 7:51 My version of this sentiment is 'I cannot imagine being _that_ good at ANYTHING.' (re: goosebumps... Constantly. My jaw is constantly dropping so far that I think I'm going to need corrective surgery.)

What is so cool is they are a band with 50 interchangeable members and the are all insane lol

@1:30 I’m like “THEM CHORD CHANGESSSSS”!!!

What crazy algorithm would put ads in the middle of this? Madness.

When I discovered Snarky Puppy, Michael League, Larnell, Bill Laurance, Cory Henry, etc etc etc ..... it just BLEW MY MIND. I was angry that I basically had been listening to crap a big part of my life. This is REAL music, not the shit that's on the radio. Keep them coming dude, loved it!!!!

Want to be even more impressed? Larnell arrived at the studio about mid morning morning of recording, having learned the music on the flight from the USA to Holland overnight. Watch a bit of the Snarky Puppy "We Like It Here" Documentary. Even the other band members are impressed.

I love that you express what most of us feel when we listen to that. Superb.. LIfts us into another world, Cory Henry,,,,, Keys.. MArk lettieri , amazing guitarist , check his band out.

Outlier from this set gives you some more metal vibes, crazy drums and a sax solo. Cant miss it.

You need to check out LOUIS COLE, also part of KNOWER and CLOWNCORE (you'd love that insanity), All three of those names are legit insane and awesome. Louis is on par with Larnell but in a different way. There's some Snarky Puppy + Knower stuff out there too where Louis and Larnell play together, freaking amazing stuff.

Can you imagine a perfect clean recording like this of Band Maid? I'd buy it twice lol. (It's never gonna happen, but I can dream)

Love Snarky Puppy! Like others have said, I cannot believe I have gone this many years without hearing them! Also, love this channel, knew you were a good dude rocking the TMNT hat, the AEW shirt takes it over the top! Subscribing my friend, and keep this amazing content coming!

All of the songs in this Album (We like it here) are pretty much worth reacting to

Snarky Puppy are nuts. Their writing is nuts. Their arranging is nuts. Their playing and improvisation and tightness is nuts. Nuts, I tell you.

There's a drumeo video of Larnell playing this song and talking about how it challenged him. Worth a watch!

finally dude. been waiting for this

Super humble reacts! love it bro!

Another appropriate Snarky Puppy reaction. Jaw dropping talent. There is not a single meh song in this session. I’ll echo others recommending Dirty Loops, another group out there with inspiring talent and musicianship. But more Snarky Puppy too please!

Yesssss, I was hoping you'd do this one.

When you have checked out Snarky Puppy, you have to also check out Dirty Loops - Work shit out if you have not already :) True masters of their instruments!

Larnell is the realest of deals

Your geniuine enjoyment of this insanely high level of musicianship on display is so dayum on point. This was my reaction to first hearing What About Me.

Larnell Lewis on Zildjian Live, that's the one to watch next!

It would be amazing to play with a band like this, I'd probably be crying tho trying to keep up

EVERYTHING sounds PERFECT!!!! This project is FLAWLESS!!!

Bro, straight up you need to react to Zildjian Live - Larnell Lewis. That by far is his best. The solo at the end 🤘

I think reaction videos were born for Snarky Puppy

That Porl Thompson shit at the change in the guitar solo is fucking sick.

really enjoyed that!

If you’ve ever seen the documentary for this album, you’ll learn that Larnell Louis (The drummer) only had 2 hours to learn the parts for every song. The rest of the band had 3 days if I remember correctly. Still blows my mind how amazing he is at improve with drums, and learning things so quickly!

This group takes you on a journey and then back

Outlier must be next!! Your reactions are so cool! Thank u

the bass player Micheal League is the ringleader and writer for every song. Incredible genious !

Hi, Bryan. You should do another reaction to Lingus with your friend. If he hasn't heard/watched it yet, I'd LOVE to see his reaction!!! It was so emotionally exciting for me just watching YOUR reaction, bro!!!!

You guys might want to check out Dirty Loops- "Work shit out".

That entire rhythm section is tight AF.

I saw Snarky Puppy like 10 years ago live. I got my face ripped off If you ever get a chance go see them Just be prepared to want to sell your instrument

Thanks Guys!

I'm glad I was alive to witness Snarky Puppy

What’s crazy is they did multiple takes that were AMAZING but this is the one they decided to go with.

Awesome reaction! I highly recommend checking out some Yussef Dayes, especially the live set of Love is the Message.

This one is Steely Dan all day. And it's amazing. Kid Charlemagne anyone?

I would like to see a Dirty Loops reaction.

Shofukan and Sleeper. Sleeper for goosebumps.

Agree 100% with the comments below - 'Outlier' is a must listen.

Bro you gotta watch The Curtain and The Clearing from Snarky Puppy’s album Sylva. Trust me brotha, love your reactions!!

I never noticed Larnell Lewis's tribute to the band The Time. The song I'm referencing is called 777-9311. Listen to Larnell during the guitar solo and listen to the intro to 777-9311. Very similar drumming, and very clever drummers. Larnell you are a BEAST on those sticks and pads!!!

Listen to Shofukan! Same concert...ridiculous drums!!

More Snarky Puppy ! Shofukan should be next :)

Connor nailed it succinctly: "wow"

you should listen to Snarky Puppy playing one hope by KNOWER during the family dinner vol 1 that is the closest you will probably hear Snarky Puppy as a band in a metal type of Genre SNARKY PUPPY FT KNOWER ONE HOPE (FAMILY DINNER VOL 1)

Yup, banging.

Similar kinda vibes, but if you haven’t heard Dirty Loops, it would be a STRONG recommend ! Their song ‘Work Shit Out’ is breath taking !!

Alright dude, next you need to react to Larnell Lewis's Zildjan Live set. Absolutly crazzzzyyy.

Michael League (the Bassist) is the main composer for Snarky Puppy.

You should react Larnell Lewis at Zildjian Live

You should check out some Louis Cole. Overtime (Live band Sesh), Thinking (Live Sesh) or F it up (Live Sesh) or Snarky Puppy feat. Knower and Jeff Coffin - I remember (Family dinner volume 2) Knower is Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi.

6:40 is insane.

Do outlier and then sleeper from same album!!

If you are a drummer, Larnell's this solo will tickle your body!

@ 8:23 The only thing I can correlate to this is being madly, truly deeply in love.

You should do a react with Connor and show him the “Chick’s Pain” video😜

Have you heard the Flugel Horn Solo on their song Binki?

Do more videos from your life I want see more about you because you are the best face in world please

If you like sick drum work, consider checking out Dirty loops, “Work Shit Out”… very nice drum solo there

Since you're down the rabbit hole. Time for Kneebody. The live version. "Kneebody Live @ Bleecker Nerd Mountain.m4v"

Please do Zildjian Live Larnell Lewis

I became the embodiment of the confused math equation meme during this song.

THANKS FOR THE INTRO to this band. Wow. Where have I been hiding. Have a favor to ask. Can you take us through your drum set, WHAT THE BASIC SET WAS AND WHAT YOU ADDED AND TOOK OFF. COST AND ALSO OTHER SETS THAT ARE GOOD FOR THE PRI E THAT YOU LOOKED AT. I HAD A YAMAHA SET THAT PERT HAD IN THE DAY AND SOLD IT SO ALL THE NEIGHBORS WOULD NOT KILL ME. AFTER I SAW YOUR KIT I THOUGHT IT LOOKS COMPLETE, SOUNDS GREAT. ALSO WHEN CONSIDERING THESE SETS (yours) can you add CYMBALS(how many) Drums etc? Love to get your run through

I watched this because of the AEW shirt!

Also react to the snarky puppy documentary

Outlier is another big one. But please review Shofukan! Shofukan FTW!

I think you might be ready to react to "JOJO MAYER D&B JUNGLE DRUMMING live at the Sabian booth"

There's another video of SP doing this piece. Larnell's bass pedal breaks during his solo. He keeps going. A tech swaps it out while he's playing. Didn't miss anything...except the downbeat was lava.🙂

Check out the Russian version of Michael League's writing COMBINED with Corey Henry's level of playing in ONE PERSON... Valeriy Stepanov: Try "Hold Onto Hope" one of his compositions, played with his brother on bass, and the amazing Russian guitarist Roman Bondarenko... - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9dip9he26eznqc.html Stepanov's right hand has to be cybernetic to arpeggiate like that... This guy is somehow the world's best kept secret of Jazz Fusion MASTERY as you'll find DOZENS of his compositions all with HOOK, and him playing with a who's who list from Bondarenko to Martin Miller and even Alex Hutchings as well as with Chick Corea before he passed away! And Kornev is a beast on drums...

Tia Macaco is super drummers. Four drummers!!! Check it out.

Have You Checked out Futureman from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones?

Hey, I have something good for you to react to... Daru Jones - Bag’Show - part 2

Came here for the Larnell/airplane comments

React devon stixx taylor drummer for justin bieber 🔥

you should react to music from Jacob Collier. Craziest mucisian ever!!!!!

You know I am in love with you I see your video because I love see your beautiful face

4days?? more like the plane ride over😁

Idk

How great do jazz drums sound compared to modern metal production.

I think you should check out this: Shapons Vindaloo by Snarky Puppy and Väsen and that's why: /watch?v=FIrxicRgiZQ

The nast was strong in that album
