Drums are known for being the heart-beat,” says Larnell Lewis. The multi-talented Toronto musician won a 2017 Grammy as drummer in Snarky Puppy. On his Juno-nominated debut album, “In The Moment”, he occupied no fewer than thirteen(!) roles: “Bass, composer, drums, guitar, keyboards, melodica, percussion, piano, primary artist, producer, synth, synth Bass, vocals.” Lewis has established himself as one of the most diverse and in-demand drummers anywhere. His immense talent, fierce creativity and continually evolving musical style have kept him at the top of the list as a collaborator for artists worldwide and his use of space and creativity while drumming always connects audiences with the music.
