    They do small samples of some of their favorite artists towards the end. The first one that you recognized was the intro to Rush - YYZ. They are both in the band. Shannon is the 'official' drummer, but Sully is also an accomplished drummer, guitarist, and their lead singer. I've seen them do this live and it's awesome. I consider it more 'tandem drumming' than an actual drum battle, as they aren't trying to outdo each other.

    As everyone is saying, Sully is on the congas at the beginning and is also the lead singer. He started out playing drums growing up. He also plays guitar, piano, and other instruments as well. I have actually seen this live twice. The first time on the first tour they ever did this and was amazed. Did not see that coming. Saw them again with my wife and kids a couple years ago and they did this again. Great live show! Love watching your reactions.

    I've been fortunate enough to see these guys many times. The drum battle is my favorite part of the show. Sully is the lead singer, and quite the drummer in his own right. Shannon is a phenomenal drummer on his own. On their way up, Godsmack would incorporate snippets of some of their favorite rock tunes into their rehearsals. The idea to make it part of their show was born, and the rest is history. In this battle, you heard RUSH, AEROSMITH, and LED ZEPPELIN. Their way of paying homage to their rock heroes. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. Love watching you react. Keep up the great work.

    Being a drummer myself, when I first discovered this video a few months ago, I was blown away. I’m not anywhere close to this level of drumming, but I would love to be someday. You should definitely pick up the drums. They’re so much fun to play. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pissed off kids in class, going back to elementary school because I was using my pencils on my desk and my feet on the floor as my personal drum set 😂. I swear over the years, I’ve developed some sort of ADD/ADHD in that regard, where every sort of solid object has become a drum/drumstick. It’s so much fun

Not trying to slam Sully, he was super cool to all of us backstage and other than that incident, he was cool.

    Sully is just a straight up beast man he really is..keeps right up with Shannon like it's nothing and he's the vocalist.

    They do this for just pure fun!! They play so well together. They throw in drum parts from bands they admire, Rush, Aerosmith, led Zeppplin then back to finish with Rush song Tom Sawyer. Sully is a multi talet musician can play all instruments so much fun..

    Before Sully was the lead singer of Godsmack, he was a drummer in another band. He felt that band wasn't going to make it so he decided to leave and become one of the founders of Godsmack. He also chose to come out from behind the drum set and be the singer. What many do not know is when godsmack's first album was recorded, he played most of the drums on that album. They're great to see in concert. I have all their albums, I've seen them two or three times in concert, they're not my favorite band. But I must say they might be my favorite show. They sound perfect, great show, and many bands don't perform all that great in concert. But these guys are A+...

    I’m pretty sure they do this at every or almost every show. Some people get tired of it, but who cares? Sully is amazing, he can pretty much do it all and seeing this live as I have a couple times is awesome. My wife had no idea he could play drums like that when we saw them play. Their self titled album is badass, should start checking out more from them.

    I was actually at this show. The drummer that got brought on stage was Sully. He is actually Godsmack's vocalist. Great reaction....but you need to do more Nightwish.

    I’ve seen Godsmack live like at least 5 times (Not enough times). And this is their like stamp on their love shows. Sully Erna is the lead singer and he plays the drums, he’s on the left (the one playing congos with his hands). The drummer on the right is Shannon Larkin, and he is the main drummer. He’s just AMAZING! Godsmack is just freaking AWESOME LIVE! 😁❤️

    Jamel, I just wanted to say that I love your T-shirt. What a great message and you have a wonderful platform to use your voice and beautiful messages for people to hear what you have to say. I’m going to get your face mask because I really like it. I wish you all the best and I’ll watch your videos periodically because I enjoy your love of music and reactions to music that I love. God bless you friend. Good luck through these difficult times in the pandemic and the terrible things happening with people being involved with the protests, violence and crime. I support peaceful protesters. I’m a bed ridden person and I can relate to things in a new way since becoming disabled. I worked for a police department and also a district attorney’s office. I’ve seen the positive and the negative things that people do in powerful positions. I’m bringing this up now because of your messages of peace and love, you’re an African American man who seems to bring a voice of positivity and I appreciate that. Well done. May people like you be heard not just nowadays, but always.

    I saw these guys live opening up for Metallica. What a great show that was. And Mr. J as you have probably already read the guy with the long sideburns who came out playing the bongos was Sully who sings for the band. Sully's parents were into music his father played guitar and his mother sang for a garage band they were in. Sully said in an interview that when he was about 4 or 5 years old He would go down into the basement and listen to them practice. He said he was small enough to fit into a guitar case and sleep when he got tired. He learned to play drums from an very early age. I guess that when he formed Godsmak he didn't want to sing and play drums at the same time. He said that when he heard Shannon's audition he knew he was going to be their drummer. He said that their styles were so similar that it was uncanny. And they both styled their playing after Animal from the Muppet show. After watching this video again I remembered that interview with Sully and he said the idea behind doing the drum battle started when they were in the studio recording and there was two drum sets set up so during a break from recording he and Shannon started drumming together as drummers are wont to do. They fed off each other so well they added it to their live shows. He said every time it's a little bit different as they add some different fills in to try to show the other person up because they are pretty competitive.

    Sully not only plays drums, he sings, plays harmonica and is bad ass on guitar AND piano/keyboards. His father was big in Italy and Sully used to fall asleep in his father’s trumpet case when he was very small, as I understand it., his father’s music is still celebrated annually in Italy. Love Shannon Larkin, too!!! My favorite drummer.

    The lead singer started out playing the bongos with his hands, he is Sully Erna and Shannon Larkin is their actual drummer who started on his own kit. Sully originally was a drummer, he can play anything and his skills are absolutely insane 🔥🤘🏻 I got the privilege to see this live too
