Godsmack - Batalla de los Tambores (Drum Battle) (Live) at Mohegan Sun Arena on 5.28.2023. The drum battle between Singer/Guitarist Sully Erna and drummer Shannon Larkin.
For the drummers out there that think Godsmack should change it. Why change what's already perfect. Like Phil Collins drum solo that's awesome. They both bring there own drum solo to the fans yet there different. I'd like to see more bands out there that has 2 drummers do a 2 drum solo that's different then Godsmack and Phil Collins and the reason there both so great is because they didn't copy each other they made there own drum solos that will make the rock and roll hall of fame someday if there not already there. And I'm not saying Godsmack shouldn't come up with a different drum solo. I'm just saying don't change the one they have that is perfect
While I can still appreciate this piece for what it is, the performance hasn't aged well. Easy for me and anyone else to sit back and whine, but 20 years ago, Sully and Shannon used to blast their way through the drum solo set and leave you feeling like you could walk through a wall. This, however - Seems like there's no motivation to want to do it anymore - just a 'have to' at this point.
How great it is to see the drums and the drummers, out in front and center to show everyone that a lot happens back there to make this awesome music 🤘🏼🤘🏼 great job GODSMACK !!!!! ROCK ON 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Sully is one of the best musicians around. He does it all at a very very high level. They've been around for like 30 years, and Sully still brings it full on every night.
I saw these guys do this routine about 10 years ago when they opened for Metallica in Houston, Texas. Glad to see they are still doing it. It never gets old.
I saw them on the same tour in Portland OR. KILLER SHOW!!! They were better than Metallica imo. Had no idea they did the dueling drum solo. I was looking down from the upper level of the Rose Garden. The stage was in the middle of a basketball arena. My jaw hit the floor when I saw Sully behind a second drum kit and they both rotated to face each other. I still get chills when I hear the dvd version. Blew me away big time. Honored to say I was there to see it....
I remember when Shannon played in Wrathchild America back in the mid 80’s. He had one side of his hair white, the other side black. The same with the drum kit. I think he was around 17 or 18 at the time. What a beast.
A duet, not a battle. And so much to memorize! You drum critics try it sometime and you'll see why they havent changed it in years. It'd be like changing up a long Rush song. Why would you? HOW would you??? Great show of musicality and teamwork. Saved to "favorites" by this drummer for sure.
not even close to the first time they did this if you have not seen it go check it out i must have watched it a thousand times i can barely get through this....like they hav not played it since then. still one of the best rock bands ever.
I agree! Saw Sully and Shannon perform the most awesome drum solo in August 2006 at Hifi Buys Amphitheater in Atlanta . Wasn't expecting what I got. I was literally awe-struck at what I was witnessing. Anyone who questions their abilities should definitely look up the earlier drum solo performances.
They are great guys! I've met Sully many times. He's just a regular guy that you'd bump into at the post office, gas station or Dunkin Donuts... Quite literally!!! He lived about 10 minutes from me in Windham, NH But I heard he moved to Florida. I haven't seen him around lately... GODSMACK ROCKS!!!🤘😁👍
I've known Shannon since his Baltimore days. I got to see Wrathchild America play their first show as Souls at Zero in a small club in Delaware and also in that same club different night I got to see M.F. Pitbulls .they had various drums and percussion on the side of the stage long before Slipknot was even thought of. Killer show too.
Not gonna lie as much as I love these guys, this solo hasn't changed since the first time they did it. (Which had way more energy & was up-tempo). I'm not one to complain, but as a drummer myself, I just would've liked to hear them change it up. Almost like they're going through the motions.
I thought it was kinda slow too….it’s my favorite part of the show….saw them last year for the 11th time and they took out the drum battle completely! I was crushed LOL….Glad to see they brought it back! 🤘🤘🤘
Damn, man. You’d think they’d at least change it up some through the years. To also keep it fresh for Sully and Shannon from doing the sameeee drum solo night after night!
I seen godsmack 4times basically in their early days so unfortunately I never got to see live drum battle but irregardless still awesome band and awesome live. Hell their logo was my 1st tattoo like 25yrs ago🤟
Absolutely fantastic!!! One of my all time favorite performances. Saw them at the Fox in Atlanta when they did the early version. This one they incorporated new riffs. The original will always be my favorite. Glad this was recorded with the new stuff! Rock on y'all!!!!
When you watch one of their first drum battles compared to this one you can tell Sully and Shannon are getting long in the tooth. They look less energetic in this one. Still an amazing performance. Best drum duo I have seen performed. #legends
As a drummer it’s insulting to have the singer come back and try that one up you know your role check your ego people are just going to the bathroom during the shit anyways
It's very refreshing to see that set. Because I have sit in a seat on every one of those live tracks from every band that they portrayed and in their uniqueness in appreciating other artists period. You millennial little snowflakes have never seen a real show. .
Love these.

Go see Dennis Chambers, Tony Royster, or Vinnue Colaiuta. 🙄
A Godsmack drum battle is the BEST EVER!!!!!
Sully is such a talented guy the drums, piano, guitar and the list goes on
How great it is to see the drums and the drummers, out in front and center to show everyone that a lot happens back there to make this awesome music 🤘🏼🤘🏼 great job GODSMACK !!!!! ROCK ON 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
We really do fn rock 🎉
Shannon & Sully are ridiculous!👏👏👍👍☝️☝️
I love watching Shannon play. He’s a badass!!
Sully kicks ass also ! ❤
Sully is one of the best musicians around. He does it all at a very very high level. They've been around for like 30 years, and Sully still brings it full on every night.
I liked his playing on the album climbing the walls when he was with WRATHCHILD AMERICA
This never gets old! AWESOME 😎
It’s so old it needs a walker! Boring AF
You sure? See the above comments..😂
the version you say, right??
I saw these guys do this routine about 10 years ago when they opened for Metallica in Houston, Texas. Glad to see they are still doing it. It never gets old.
That was almost 20 years ago man. Madley In Anger with the World Tour. Seems like yesterday though
@@chrishard9801 Wow! Doesn’t seem like that long. Time flies. “Once you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed.”
Saw them with Metallica in 04/05 in Roanoke Va. They were awesome live.
I saw them on the same tour in Portland OR. KILLER SHOW!!! They were better than Metallica imo. Had no idea they did the dueling drum solo. I was looking down from the upper level of the Rose Garden.

Lars was " I can do that but I play for metallica" so I can't join
I remember when Shannon played in Wrathchild America back in the mid 80’s. He had one side of his hair white, the other side black. The same with the drum kit. I think he was around 17 or 18 at the time. What a beast.
Saw him then too, with wrathchild. He was a badass then, & still is. 🤘
Loved wrathchild America, I survived new years eve at swizzles
and he would spin his hair around fast as shit...
tom sawyer part! miss the professor
Don't we all?
I believe we need more of this kind of music and fun
Yes, fun!
Yeah seen them three times at Rocklahoma hasn't changed Get the money not sure if u can change it it
Larkin's an animal...off the chain man.
I am a 60 yr old musician. Drummer. I lose myself in this . Anybody wanna jam ? Hurley area. Let's dominate. Care to lose yourself too?
This isn't a drum "battle" and this solo is really weak. Its all about lights,production and the sound man. The drummers are mediocre at best.
Got a stick from sully 2004 with they did the battle before they opened for Metallica Omaha
This is why we love GODSMACK! They have it all in spades! Lyrics, vocals, catchy hooks, precision, and oodles and oodles of talent! Long live metal🤘
Yes couldn’t agree more. These guys are freaking awesome and they Got it all at the gettin place. Way to go Godsmack
A duet, not a battle. And so much to memorize! You drum critics try it sometime and you'll see why they havent changed it in years. It'd be like changing up a long Rush song. Why would you? HOW would you??? Great show of musicality and teamwork. Saved to "favorites" by this drummer for sure.
Why change such a winning recipe? Its a very awesome part of their show
Playing his newly issued RCI built Vistalites.
not even close to the first time they did this if you have not seen it go check it out i must have watched it a thousand times i can barely get through this....like they hav not played it since then. still one of the best rock bands ever.
Old and slow.. 😂😂
Yeah, from the faces dvd.
Shannon definitely seems to just be going through the motions. No passion no power.
Seen them duo like 20 years ago unbelievable sully can hit the kit as good as his actual drummer
I agree! Saw Sully and Shannon perform the most awesome drum solo in August 2006 at Hifi Buys Amphitheater in Atlanta . Wasn't expecting what I got. I was literally awe-struck at what I was witnessing. Anyone who questions their abilities should definitely look up the earlier drum solo performances.
My wife and I were there. Such an AMAZING show!!
I'm 60 next month. Been playing since I was 8
Love this video
Awesome dudes😊
Wished I could jam wit ya'll. I'll show you something.
Still pretty awesome
Especially the Neil Pert run near the end!😊
Twin blue acrylics. 💙 good taste fellas. Got a blue Luddy acrylic myself. 🔥💯🔥
Everybody's a critic... they rocked it.
Were all getting older aren't we,if not then were still not here rocking on...❤Godsmack
Saw them years ago with Volbeat as warmup and the group I was with all felt Volbeat stole the show!
It's on my bucket list to someday see Godsmack live, they seem like they would be really cool to meet in person. Amazing talent.
Just saw them last night
They are freakin' awesome! We loved seeing them live! Definitely worth it!
I saw them recently and it's definitely worth it.
They are great guys! I've met Sully many times. He's just a regular guy that you'd bump into at the post office, gas station or Dunkin Donuts... Quite literally!!! He lived about 10 minutes from me in Windham, NH But I heard he moved to Florida. I haven't seen him around lately...
GODSMACK ROCKS!!!🤘😁👍
Saw them back in '01 want to see them again!
what equipment did you use for this recording? The audio quality is amazing for a handheld device! Thank you for recording anbdd uploading :)
iPhone14 Pro. Thank you.
Yeah props to you that's a hell of a phone
I’m a drummer from back in the day and you can’t get too much better than this. These guys are off the chain bro.
ABSOLUTELY %100🤗😂👍
I've known Shannon since his Baltimore days. I got to see Wrathchild America play their first show as Souls at Zero in a small club in Delaware and also in that same club different night I got to see M.F. Pitbulls .they had various drums and percussion on the side of the stage long before Slipknot was even thought of. Killer show too.
This was A AWESOME Concert GODSMACK ROCKS 👍
✌🤘🤌

Agree with all ,,,and Im a drummer too!! Nothing like that Original Drum Kit Battle years ago!!
I thought it was kinda slow too….it’s my favorite part of the show….saw them last year for the 11th time and they took out the drum battle completely! I was crushed LOL….Glad to see they brought it back! 🤘🤘🤘
they old now, they are no longer there younger selves 🤷🏾♂️
I just thought the same. Kinda corny, really. Very cool 1st time.
Didn't move me, really. Good drumming as stated, but.
Agree… But if you’ve never seen it before and not expecting it… Its amazing!!
Trent can choreograph it 5:42
This ain't as good as Metallica! But I still like it a 💯%!
The drums in this is better than Metallica drums will ever be. The drums here are mathematical genius!
Damn, man. You’d think they’d at least change it up some through the years. To also keep it fresh for Sully and Shannon from doing the sameeee drum solo night after night!
It's all they know.
It's technically a song they're playing not a real drum off.
❤👌dokola a dokola a pořád nemá člověk dost
I seen godsmack 4times basically in their early days so unfortunately I never got to see live drum battle but irregardless still awesome band and awesome live. Hell their logo was my 1st tattoo like 25yrs ago🤟
I'd pay to see them at Rocklahoma every year take my money
There will never be another john Bonham ever
Fuck awesome
Ну здесь кроме как сказать что..... СУКА!!!ЭТО БЫЛО КРУТО ❤❤❤и нечего сказать
Absolutely fantastic!!! One of my all time favorite performances. Saw them at the Fox in Atlanta when they did the early version. This one they incorporated new riffs. The original will always be my favorite. Glad this was recorded with the new stuff! Rock on y'all!!!!
Absolutely perfect for an Aquarian
Sully Erma🙂💜
Lawrence MA. In the house...
When you watch one of their first drum battles compared to this one you can tell Sully and Shannon are getting long in the tooth. They look less energetic in this one. Still an amazing performance. Best drum duo I have seen performed. #legends
Sully... there's nothing more powerful than 2 drums slamming at the same time (Godsmack Changes). \m/
This reminds me of the song "Serenity"
Very different from the previous crowd. This crowd can't clap because they are busy holding their phones.
I just want to say that this woman, puts her soul in to what she does, I love it. Besides her looks, she can play .She gets my vote.❤
Awse
As a drummer it’s insulting to have the singer come back and try that one up you know your role check your ego people are just going to the bathroom during the shit anyways

Sully hand picked Shannon as his personal Drummer
Nuff said..
Man I used to love the older video on YT and to know they are still doing this is a bucket list to see! Love it!
It's one of the songs on the album... why would it change? Duh!!!
