You can feel his passion , see it in his face and the energy he puts out when hes performing...A true artist, deserves more attention! I love watching him!
The first time I saw Shannon play was when he was in wrathchild America opening for Testament and was immediately blown away by his playing,stood out in his band.then a few years later my band would open for souls at zero and I got to meet the man and was not disappointed,cool as fuck man....Godsmack couldn't have found a better drummer and he deserves it....
LOVE Shannon, I happen to think he is VERY underrated in the whole Rock/alternative game AND the most gifted member of the band.... Most of all he is SUPER HUMBLE which is always attractive in my opinion!
I would say he and Sully are almost matched on drums regarding skill and technique. Sully however is an Extremely Talented multi-instrumentalist . He can play piano, guitar, drums, percussion, writes lyrics, sings, and is also in charge of everything in the band.
Without a doubt the most entertaining drummer to watch play. The way he waves and crosses his arms an still hits everything with such precision is the reason I picked up the sticks!
I'm telling you...I've seen Godsmack live more than 10 times and NOTHING is more awesome then seeing Shannon get into a groove. The "Swin Thing", his hard lean to his right, etc. He has like 3-4 signature moves that just never get old! Long Live DA SMACK!
What's really amazing is how simple a lot of the rudiments he uses are, but the musical genius he has in the way he strings them together is what makes it incredible
Shannon is one of the best drummers I have ever heard or SEEN! This dude put on a visual show while drumming that is so cool and makes me smile constantly. His rhythm is metronome quality. MAN, this guy is incredible! I’ve been following his talent since UKJ’s first album with him in 95’ (Menace to Sobriety).
That is literally the first time I have ever seen a drummer flip the stick with one hand, switch hands of the stick he is hold to now be in the vacated hand, and catch the tossed stick with the newly-vacated hand. Shannon, in my opinion, is by far one of the most underrated drummers in all of Rock and Roll. I was a big fan of his back in his Wrathchild America days.
Shannon plays with enthusiasm, stick tricks and some crazy arm flailing... plus he's got some great style... it's entertaining and I love it!!!! Great job as always!
I'm a big fan of Shannon, great drummer maybe the best I've ever seen. What makes him most impressive is his skill to use arms and legs completely independently so he does not care what he hits with what arm. Just amazing to watch him play. Wish my skill would be half as good as his...
I loved story ,when Sully and Shannon, were jumping to swimming pool from the roof at 4:00.And neighbors, were calling cops. I have neighbors Cole , like that. As he is not happy with F - - ---g life ,he is calling everyone also. All I can say, I am so blessed to be on your concert in Denver, that was my sons Birthday. LOVE YOU GUYS.
Had the honor of seeing Shannon at hammer jacks in Baltimore when he was in Wrathchild amazing musician interduced to me by another amazing musician Clark Reidel Rip! Thank Godsmack that Shanon is still bringing it
I meet him on the first american tour with Amen,killer player super cool guy,I know he got to play with snot for a little while,man that's a dream of mine,to sit in with that band,I rembed way back modern drummer did a peice on him as an up and comer playing with wrathchild america.
STILL WATCHING THIS IN 2016!! Wish I could keep up that kinda energy with my playing. hell I'd tire out by verse 2 in most songs (depending on the song)!
Expertise at a level not imaginable .. My favorite drummer of all time .
??hes decent,not great!!
@@raypratt3611 No he's pretty good lol.. I'd rather watch guys like him all day other than someone like Mike Mangini
Mine too!!!!
Definitely great drummer, check out old dude named Danny Carey, he’s almost as good😊
A total monster on the drums!!
You can feel his passion , see it in his face and the energy he puts out when hes performing...A true artist, deserves more attention! I love watching him!

Watching guys like Shannon Larkin and Morgan Rose play is almost hypnotic they're that good.
An underrated drummer on an underrated band.
Underrated drummer?Underrated band?Shannon Larkin and,Godsmack are the best
SOOOO true!!!!!
LOVE Shannon, I happen to think he is VERY underrated in the whole Rock/alternative game AND the most gifted member of the band.... Most of all he is SUPER HUMBLE which is always attractive in my opinion!
I agree 100%

He is a cross between Pert, Bonham, & Moon.
Amazing!!
He is a beast I love watching him play how in the hell does he remember every song that Godsmack plays amazing
Still watching in 2021. Shannon is an exceptionally gifted percussionist.
I love when he does the swimming thing with his arms when he plays
I think that’s a definitive nod to Tommy Aldridge.
I know just straight skills

Yeah his Styles incredible very underrated
What's really amazing is how simple a lot of the rudiments he uses are, but the musical genius he has in the way he strings them together is what makes it incredible
