Highlight video of Shannon Larkin from (Godsmack) Rocking in comfort during his 1st show on the custom CT200MS15BV from the Carmichael Throne Company in Dallas, TX at the Southside Ballroom.
I was fortunate enough to have have a drum stick from him last week a their show in Europe, and let me tell you I feel soo lucky... We should feel that way we have this guy in the business..
ahhhh DaRcy, its all subjective. assuming you're a drummer like myself, I have yet to master some of the moves and ive been at it for years. Sure its mostly basic, but he has a style I have yet to see from anyone else. as far as legends, as mentioned, its all in the eyes of the beholden. besides at that level, its a given all drummer are rad in there own way......hope all that made sense
I roadied for Wrathchild in the early 80's and at 14 you could tell he was going to be one of the greats. Loved his style his insanity and l Loved him. Awesome dude proud of ya Shannon!!
I saw him perform in the 80s when he was with wrathchild. He was awesome then & even moreso now. The best drummer I've ever seen. Keep rocking Shannon! 🤘
Whoever recorded this video originally thank you. This takes me back to the glorious Shiley Acres days! Shannons definitely my top 3 drummers and another just passed , while Shannon honors him. Its just an awesome video! Larkin is the level that can play the intricate Peart, with DMC funk and his sick mode is beyond most!!
He is the true animal behind the kit, Every time i see Godsmack live, im having a complete blast , Shannon leave in all on the drum. Got a drumstick on my last show, believe me those cymbale are getting beat up with those heavy drumsticks. Drum legend
Always fun to watch play, a true drumgod and supercool guy. Our old bands used to play together back in the day, hung out many times, he's even been over to my house before. Lost touch with him after he joined GODSMACK though, would love to catch up.
@@bignastytiger4174 right. He was the drummer for his former band. Also played all the tracks on Godsmacks debut album. He and Shannon put on a helluva duel.
I know Terry and still chat from Time to time with him on Facebook....He's in a Pat Benetar Tribute with his wife in Florida these days....Jay is also in Florida, and Shannon lives near Tampa....
It’s amazing how far left that Hihat is and he has to stretch his left leg over so far to step on that Hihat pedal. Most drummers would have leg/hips problems trying to reach that far left.
Hell ya now you got the the fucken good shit jimmy !!!!! You know what the fuck is going on my brother !!!! Fucken killer shit !! Sabina all the way !!! Just look at those holy Chinas O ya!
Shannon is on his own level!
carved out his own style backed up by unmatched skill. Incredibly entertaining to watch.
Master class! Respect 🤜🏼🤛🏼

It is an honor to see the man, the legend enjoy his job. We are truly lucky to have him on this planet!

Shannon is so underrated. His animation and energy is the best behind a kit.

Wuz there, Hammerjacks and all the rest!
Shiley Acres , W.V is home to me thank you Greg Shiley .Would have loved to see Shannon with Wrath Child.
This is the best video ever and mostly what I am staring at during Godsmack concerts. LOVE SL!
Shannon must have been a martial artist in his previous life. What a legend
was bruce lee even more ripped
A beast for sure. Absofuckinloutly one of my favorite drummers. And a huge nod to Sully!
Why a huge nod to sully? Just the singer.
Yes, Definitely..!

As Much as I dig Godsmack I would love to see Shannon and Wrathchild America get back together and do an Album! Plus Thrash Is always my number 1
by far, the best drummer in the market
Holy Frkng Hell..!!! Shannons "the" bomb!!! Damn... "The" Best.
Brilliant. #drummergirl drummer goals right here... Fellow destroyer of silence!
Tell you what he's a bad ass drummer !!! Seen Godsmack about 6 times in concert. Awesome
Love how over time the drum solo between them builds.... good stuff 🤘🤘
I always knew he was a beast since straight out of line came out..but daaaaaaamn this seconded my opinion for sure!
I just fucking love it man.
I know this is about Shannon but dayum Sully, is pretty damn badass himself.
Sully stared out as a drummer before forming Godsmack. He a legit badass drummer!
@@bignastytiger4174 right. He was the drummer for his former band. Also played all the tracks on Godsmacks debut album. He and Shannon put on a helluva duel.
Shannon rules #1 in my book
And fucken ray from corn another fucken BEAST!!!! Rock on jimmy you got my vote!
Mr larkin i the best drummer since john Bonham. Sully is multiple talented too. I love godsmack my favorite band. Keep it up
I was lucky enough to play in a band with Shannon's old guitar player Terry Carter (Wrathchild America) in the early 2000s. Big shoes to fill.
I know Terry and still chat from Time to time with him on Facebook....He's in a Pat Benetar Tribute with his wife in Florida these days....Jay is also in Florida, and Shannon lives near Tampa....
Wanna know how good Larkin is, second to none....
First to all
Two words .. daney Carey :)
HOT DAM LOVE THOSE DRUMS ESPECIALLY WITH ANY MAN WHO DOES IT SO FUCKING GOOD.
It’s amazing how far left that Hihat is and he has to stretch his left leg over so far to step on that Hihat pedal. Most drummers would have leg/hips problems trying to reach that far left.
Shannon is built like a spider....
Sully is right there with him they are GREAT!!!
There is no song that Godsmack can't play !!!
you can see how he feels every stick hitting the skins!!!! this dude is a legend!! funny thing, i've known him musically since the 80's!!! lol!!!!
I love his work with Wrathchild America and Souls at Zero
So underrated
Never seen this before , this man knows his shit
Sick

Time for a Wrathchild America reunion!

Pretty sure its 'The Enemy'
The Enemy
Red hash at hammerJacks 😳🎁
Rad 🥁
Purrection 🥁
Man I wonder what kind of Drum Throne he's using. Looks like it's lower spine friendly.
It was special made for him...The center is routed out to hold sticks.....
@@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492 No kidding?!?!
Is that an actual song that they performed first ? If yes, name please!!
Its actually a drum battle between sully erna (lead singer) and Shannon larkin. Fuckin bad ass. And sully is little bad ass on the drums too
He is but Larkin is unreal
Hell ya now you got the the fucken good shit jimmy !!!!! You know what the fuck is going on my brother !!!! Fucken killer shit !! Sabina all the way !!! Just look at those holy Chinas O ya!
7:12: he moves like a damn praying mantis lol
HE'S GREAT!! JUST WISH HE HADN'T PUT 666 ON THE BACK OF HIS SHIRT!!!
Absolutely agree... disappointing
Poor audio.
.
Any fool with 666 on his T doesn't really understand what that means.
Unprovoked?
