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
While a student at the Univ. of Maryland in 1987 or 1988, Shannon and the boys in Wrathchild played in a bar along Route 1 just off campus. Those guys put on a show that was to not be forgotten. And the most entertaining band member was...yep...Shannon! Man what a show!!!
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 ;) ua-cam.com/video/mss_2ZUElHE/v-deo.html --and here we are commenting on "part two - playing the song in full speed"
I used to watch him play from the side of the stage at Annie's in Cincinnati...Wratchchild America....I would just stand there dumbfounded..23 years ago. He ain't let up one bit..
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.
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!
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!
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!

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.

Remember them well ..use to party with Wrathchild back in the day
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!
One of the sickest drummers on the planet! Smooth n so clean.... 🔥🤘
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!
Шеннон невероятный барабанщик и классный артист! Одно удовольствие наблюдать за ним! 👏👏👏
This is the kind of drumming that feeds my brain!.
This dude Shannon is gooooooood. You can tell he actually enjoys playing you can see and feel his energy and emotion
Perfect display of hard rock drumming.
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.

GREAT drummer!!! So smooth FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
When the chorus starts... you can see how he tries to control this monster from not going out of hands... literally !
My sentiments EXACTLY
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!
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 Larkin raises drumming to a whole new level of performance. Awesome.
Shannon is an amazing drummer. He honestly makes it look easy, in a way. Love Godsmack

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
He’s fuckn amazing 🤩 I love his energy . Rock on 🤘
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 !
When your jaw drops so hard it starts an earthquake.
One of the great masters of our time.
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
Style, skill, power, precision... pretty much everyhing metal drummer wanted.. great work Shannon!! So inspiring
What an amazing drummer. Been a fan for a long time!
Arms and drumsticks flying all over the place, love it!!! shannon is the man :)
