Shannon Larkin & Sully Erna of GODSMACK: "We Play Yamaha"

- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2017
- By the age of 14, Shannon Larkin was playing clubs with his first band Wrathchild. By 16, he was touring coast to coast, playing mostly covers ranging from Black Sabbath and Zeppelin to The Stray Cats and GBH, mixing in as many originals as they could get away with. After five years of constant touring in a van and having a problem because of another act in Europe with the same name, the band finally got a deal signed with Atlantic Records under the name Wrathchild America. The band then released their debut album titled Climbing the Walls in 1989 and a sophomore release in 1991 titled 3-D. After minimal sales, the band again changed names to "Souls at Zero" and released two more records.
With frustration mounting, Shannon quit the band and moved to California where he joined Ugly Kid Joe. After making two records and touring for five years, the band decided to part ways. At that point, Shannon started doing a lot of session work for various artists like Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest, Doug Pinnick of King's X, and Vanilla Ice's come back record Hard to Swallow. Keeping busy, he played live shows for Candlebox, Black Sabbath, Snot, and Ozzy Osbourne. Around this time, producer Ross Robinson turned Shannon on to the seminal L.A. punk band Amen. After joining that band, doing two albums, and touring again for 4 1/2 years, Shannon still found time to land more session work, resulting in the recordings of Glass Jaw's Worship and Tribute and a tribute to his dear friend Lynn Strait entitled Strait Up, who was recently killed in a tragic car crash.
After being behind the kit for 25 years and being a firm believer of creating and playing music to be fun, Shannon quit Amen to find himself, strictly relying on his instincts and destiny to take over and guide him to the right place.
Two weeks later, destiny called in through a friend Sully Erna, offering him a gig as the new drummer for Godsmack where he has held down the drum throne since 2002.
Sully Erna
Godsmack frontman and Yamaha Drum Artist since 2002, Sully Erna started playing drums at the tender age of 3 1/2.
By the time he was 11, Sully had bounced around with several different instructors until his current teacher found that Sully had a much easier time just hearing something and playing it than trying to read sheet music. With that in mind and being at the age where he was starting to get into rock music, Sully quit taking lessons and would just sit at home and rehearse to records by Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin most of the time.
By the age of 14, he was turned on to Neil Peart, who became his idol. Sully rehearsed to Rush records constantly. Bonham and Peart became his new instructors. Bonham showed Sully how to hit hard and have a great single foot, while Peart showed him how to have great hands and challenge himself. Soon afterwards, Sully started meeting different musicians and began playing in cover bands.
After years of playing in numerous bands, he signed his first record deal in 1993 with a band called Strip Mind on Sire/Reprise records. The band's debut album What's in Your Mouth sold less than 50,000 units, and the band self-destructed shortly after. Two years later, Sully started a new project under the name Godsmack. "And the rest," Sully says, "has been my dream come true."
Although he fronts Godsmack as the lead vocalist, Sully has also played the drums on the first two albums and has always recorded with Yamaha drums, including the Strip Mind record. "The sound and the feel has always been consistent, and they never let me down," stated Sully. "And as you can hear on my records, my influences through Bonham and Neil still shine through. I still like to challenge myself at times with intricate beats and killer fills, but I always enjoy the basic grooves being hard and heavy." (As of April, 2017)

Shannon is one of my favorite drummer
Shannon has been my favorite drummer since the 80s. I used to be able to call him a friend. I took lessons from him, and still have 2 octobans I bought from him in the 80s
@@mikehumphrey8618
My drummer friend Jason Loree knows him too - they both used to play in local bands in the Ventura/Santa Barbara area in the late 80's/early 90's.
My style is very much like these guys because they’re some of my favorites & I copy their style a little bit!
This just popped up in my feed.
These guy's are two of my absolute favorite drummers.
I never knew Sully played drums on the first 2 albums. He is fucking awesome.
Shannon,absofuckinloutly amazing.
You need to listen to a lot more drummers then 😬
Heck yea Godsmackers! Love my Yamaha Maple Custom Absolutes in honey yellow.
I am shocked to see that this video still hasn't reached a million views
Like drumming into a mirror those two are. I love there dueling drums they do at the concerts there both amazing drummers and are apart of an amazing band. Keep up the great music guys. And Yamaha keep making great equipment and motorcycles especially the yz450f and fx.
Shannon Larkin has been killing it since his ugly kid joe days......!!
I love Shannon. I love all of you. Talented.
Best live show ever. Drum solo is soooo good.
Love this drum battle
Amazing!!!!
Shannon absolutely kills it everytime
❤️❤️
Such a great musicians... my first and last tattoo is the godsmack symbol and I just regret not listening to it before... I heard they never came to Brazil before so someday I'm traveling to US and I NEED to attend to their show FOR SURE. Besides, I can't forget buying Sully's book because I tried to import but wasn't possible so I got really upset about it... but some day I will make it happen.
Is there nothing Sully can't do? The guys a great song writer, guitarist, singer and drummer.
Shannon is off the hook, but Sully is right there with him.
10 May 19 in Ottawa baby!!!!! Can't wait!!!
I like! Keep it up!
I love Godsmack. That is all.
Awesome!!!!!!!

LarKinG.
Sully is Lars - Shannon is Dave.
Can you tell me which kits they are using?
I think Sully's oak custom & Shannon's absolute custom (maple) it used to be "birch"
On this video… both play with Absolute hybrid maple!
Advertising won!
Must suck for Shannon knowing he's the second best drummer in the band
Nah, dude - Sully is good, but he's basic compared to Shannon. Just listen to Shannon's complex fills and double bass licks here. Sully didn't match that - he played much simpler rolls and didn't do much double bass. So not even close. And I say that as a drummer of 37 years and a guitarist of 35 years. I'm not as good as either of them, but Shannon is far more advanced of a drummer.
Looks like a bit of a downgrade comapred to what they use in real life haha. Miissing about 20 pieces.
Fun fact Shannon was my boyfriend slash he was in love with me and I in love with him ! God smack came to Miami Florida to record there 3rd album the rent a very large home on there extreme rock and roll lifestyle , I met Shannon in a club called Miami gold and the rest of the band was there and Shannon and I hit it off right away we spend severely months dating and falling in love !! Shannon took me to concerts shoppi g sprees fancy dinners but more then anything I was in love with Shannon and he was in love with me we shared a bond I never felt with another and he broke my heart very badly and he used me and let another bad mate have well I want to share this whole story and I have proof but I need to talk to shannon
...
