You can tell a great drummer not by how fast crazy they play, but by how clean and smoothly they play it. Shannon is so clean and smooth it’s almost like watching an animation. He hit every spot of every drum perfectly in the center and on time
Insane. What a musician. This isn't just a drummer. This is Art at it finest. One of my favorites songs from one of my favorite bands. Going in to a studio with an Idea and creating this. Geesh. Would have loved to been a fly on the wall watching this process when this was all coming together . Incredible.
maybe you already know this video, but here is shannon larkin actually explaining the songs different parts and how they all come together. Same drum kit, same clothing as in this video, so it's probably "part one - explanations" very usefull if you're a drummer and want to play the song yourself ;) ruclips.net/video/mss_2ZUElHE/видео.html --and here we are commenting on "part two - playing the song in full speed"
Just a great solid rock drummer and he is entertaining to watch as well...... a lost art on many modern drummers, the ability to entertain through their playing.
How did I get here, you ask? I was reading an article about Chris Adler, drummer for Lamb of God, and Adler said that Larkin was one of his biggest inspirations so I had to come check him out!! And yeah this dude IS awesome!
Just awe inspiring! He cracks me up though. After pounding the hell out of the drums, he very calmly lays his sticks down and give a nice golf clap. 😂 classic! Shannon, you are absolutely awesome
Ever since I first heard the song, I'm amazed of Larkin's drumming on it. It just sounds like one of those songs that are super-fun to play - having this awesome groove and intricate at the same time. Look at the man go - like watching fuse burning slowly to a stick of TNT before every chorus!
Saw him playing in Wrathchild America around 89 or 90 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie NY! I think they opened for Annihilator. Great show at a great venue!
I have always loved his playing since I first heard him in 1989. If you don't have the wrathchild America cd's then go get them,they are outta print now but you can still find them on ebay and amazon. You will be blown away by his drumming on those albums.
Dang I love his drumming... saw Godsmack only three times and they hit it out of the park... can't wait to see them again and watch Shannon play... take care sir and God Bless!
Saw them play the Commodore once in 2003....i literally couldn't take my eyes off Shannon's playing....best drummer i've ever seen live. Kinda reminds me of a real-life Animal muppet...
He'll yeah!!! Good grief if that doesn't get you blood flowing!?! Awesome freakin drummer!!! Great video!! Your style is second to none!!! You can feel your love and passion for drumming and playing!!

So true!
Man this guys awesome
The Great Ginger Baker said It’s not how fast you play it’s what you say!! This drummer is saying a lot.
He's not clean at all
@@DV87777 Yea okay, go ahead and name a better drummer than Shannon Larkin AND not to mention Sully is also a Fucking animal on the drums.
I could watch Shannon play all. day. long.
Yep. Him and Morgan Rose.
A0S : hell yes!
Shannon and Morgan are so awesome
And David Silveria!!!
Ditto!!!!!!!
One of the most underrated drummers. He's simply brilliant and a force of nature.
Cuz he's in such a shitty band. Lil wayne could play godsmack's guitar parts
Up there with danny cary fo sho
Sure
Totally agree!!!!
Shannon is a drummer that drummers admire. So damn tight.
One of the sickest drummers on the planet! Smooth n so clean.... 🔥🤘
A fantastic drummer, not a show off, not a swollen head. Just a down to earth, good dude doing what he set out to do and he DID IT!
Shannon made me a Godsmack fan
Agreed
Shannon has always been one of my favorite drummers to watch🙌🏻

Fan boy much?
Perfect display of hard rock drumming.
One of my favorite drummers 🥁 and one of the greatest drummers in the world.
Yes! 🔥
Lol 😂 him clapping for himself at the end 👏 this guy is a beast
This is the kind of drumming that feeds my brain!.
When the chorus starts... you can see how he tries to control this monster from not going out of hands... literally !
My sentiments EXACTLY
This dude Shannon is gooooooood. You can tell he actually enjoys playing you can see and feel his energy and emotion
definitely a master at his craft! top 5 drummers of all time for Me!!! God Bless Shannon!!
Shannon is one of my favorite professional drummers. He has only gotten better with time. Best move Sully ever made was to add him to the band.
Saw you in 1987 in Camp Hill with Wrathchild in a very small bar. It was even surreal back then...there was like 50 people there...great memories!
I could watch you all day, wow !
Шеннон невероятный барабанщик и классный артист! Одно удовольствие наблюдать за ним! 👏👏👏
29 dislikes are from Lars
Dima Altman bahahahaha! 😂
That's hilarious.....and probably true.
this makes my sunday....XDDDD
LOL I was just thinking what kinda douchebags could NOT like this - your answer says it all LOL
gotta be
GREAT drummer!!! So smooth FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Shannon is an amazing drummer. He honestly makes it look easy, in a way. Love Godsmack
Love so much this song and Shannon is amazing 🔥
Been a fan of this guy since his day in Wrathchild America. Amazing talent.
Saw Wrathchild America on tour with Testament in 1989. Larkin kicked my ass!
Style, skill, power, precision... pretty much everyhing metal drummer wanted.. great work Shannon!! So inspiring
Shannon Larkin raises drumming to a whole new level of performance. Awesome.
just blown away....love it!!!!!!
An excellent showman
Just a great solid rock drummer and he is entertaining to watch as well...... a lost art on many modern drummers, the ability to entertain through their playing.
Shannon is THE BEAST!
Ray Luzier and Larkin are my favorite drummers
+SkilledEddie I always thought they had an extremely similar style!!
SkilledEddie Those are my two as well
Maybe David Silveria? Ray wasn't play on firsts Korn album.
@Maritza Piccarillo that guy from Tool is called Danny Carey! ☺️He is in a level up, definitely one of the 10 best drummers of all time in heavy music
@@leonidrusinov2951 Silveria better
One of the best drummers ever. ❤️🥢🤘
Big FAN HERE 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ll be honest I’ve never heard of him until I seen this drum cam, I really think this man is the most underrated drummer I’ve ever seen play
You might like Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffat also.
This video never turns old. Love from Bangladesh.
The beats this guy comes up with is incredible. I've been hooked on this guy's work ever since I heard Wrathchild America's 3-D album.
Shannon Larkin total bad ass !
Just every note is just perfect.......Amazing!!!!!!
When your jaw drops so hard it starts an earthquake.
One of the great masters of our time.
So good omg
Such an amazing drummer. His style is just so smooth
All sizes of drummers this guy hits hard love it

Wow , I don't have any words , f.. kin guy is from another planet
Excellent!
Dang I love his drumming... saw Godsmack only three times and they hit it out of the park... can't wait to see them again and watch Shannon play... take care sir and God Bless!
I like how the rest of the music is muted somewhat to accentuate the drums
Powerful and Impressive
Much respect
incredible...fun to watch shannon during videos. adrenaline meets goosebumps
For such a diminutive guy,shannon packs power and chops galore,totally underestimated in my opinion.
Yea I saw him live at Arizona 2019 bike fest ,plus that dual jam with sully omg bad ass .
Larkin has the power and accuracy, Silveria has the groove and creativity. What kind of drumming monster would we get if we combined those two legends
Morgan Rose. Shannon, Morgan, and Ray Luzier are 3 of my favorite great, yet also entertaining drummers.
Jesteś ZAJEBISTY . POZDRO FROM POLAND :)
THANK YOU poster - this is just awesome, love watching Shannon
I remember him in Baltimore when he was around 16 playing with Wrathchild. He was almost this good then .
Shannon is my favorite drummer. So smooth, clean could watch him play for days lol
his pocket and groove is insane
I love how he claps for himself in a way that he's also the audience.
he is awesomee!!!!!!
This drummer from Wrathchild America rocks 🤘
Phenomenal
That’s true artistry right there. Unbelievable 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
The. Greatest.
That little clap at the end 😆
Perfect!
