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!!!
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..
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 ;) th-cam.com/video/mss_2ZUElHE/w-d-xo.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.
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!
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!
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.
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...
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!
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!!
Shannon, Morgan Rose, and Ray Luzier have got to be 3 of the best entertaining, yet great, drummers of the past 25 years. Emphasis on the entertaining as many of you will probably think I'm saying they're the greatest drummers period of all time. Lol
The best drummer godsmack ever had... His line is so creative and amazing, if he ever do an opening practice day to everyone watch him, for sure I'll try my best to be there.

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.
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!!!!
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!!!!!!!
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.... 🔥🤘
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..
One of my favorite drummers 🥁 and one of the greatest drummers in the world.
Yes! 🔥

Fan boy much?
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!
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.
This is the kind of drumming that feeds my brain!.
An excellent showman
Шеннон невероятный барабанщик и классный артист! Одно удовольствие наблюдать за ним! 👏👏👏
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
This dude Shannon is gooooooood. You can tell he actually enjoys playing you can see and feel his energy and emotion
Lol 😂 him clapping for himself at the end 👏 this guy is a beast
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
Shannon Larkin total bad ass !
Shannon is an amazing drummer. He honestly makes it look easy, in a way. Love Godsmack
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!
Shannon you and you alone are my inspiration
Shannon Larkin raises drumming to a whole new level of performance. Awesome.
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.
My favorite of all time👍
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
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.
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.
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
just blown away....love it!!!!!!
Big FAN HERE 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He’s fuckn amazing 🤩 I love his energy . Rock on 🤘
Top 3 of my favorite drummers.
So good omg
This video never turns old. Love from Bangladesh.
What an amazing drummer. Been a fan for a long time!
First time I seen him play solo like this. Such energy.

Arms and drumsticks flying all over the place, love it!!! shannon is the man :)

Just Fantastic....
Shannon is a madman 🔥
Still killin' it on Jan. 31st, 2021..
awesome one of my favorite drummers just saw them in atlanta
Love that kit set up 🙃
I remember him in Baltimore when he was around 16 playing with Wrathchild. He was almost this good then .
his pocket and groove is insane
Jesteś ZAJEBISTY . POZDRO FROM POLAND :)
Just every note is just perfect.......Amazing!!!!!!
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!
Shannon made me a Godsmack fan
Agreed
So Awesome. Thanks for sharing. - take care
Such an amazing drummer. His style is just so smooth
That little clap at the end 😆
The. Greatest.
I love how he claps for himself in a way that he's also the audience.
For such a diminutive guy,shannon packs power and chops galore,totally underestimated in my opinion.
I like how the rest of the music is muted somewhat to accentuate the drums
Powerful and Impressive
Much respect
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.
That was absolutely amazing
Goat
Yea I saw him live at Arizona 2019 bike fest ,plus that dual jam with sully omg bad ass .
Wow , I don't have any words , f.. kin guy is from another planet
