  • Lol I went to get a new kit and the people said that we have a new one that was used once and I was like by who, and it was Shawn drover so I bought the kit along with his signature snare and a snare head with his signature

  • his son plays for a georgia local band. oh yeah

  • Shawn Is a really Skilled drummer .. but ,, i prefer Nick menza,,, Well ,, Talkling Bout Megadeth... Not about them,

  • That sounds really good.

  • i ran into Shawn Drover at NAMM like 4 times lol

  • omg love how he is left handed

  • Is shawn drover left-hander ?

  • @kewellharry19 yes hes left handed

  • this guy headcrushs alll except dave lombardo except they equally talented just dave is faster feet work

  • Lars Ulrich uses steel sounding snare- Metallica fans rage.

    Shawn Drover uses steel sounding snare- Megadeth fans love it.

  • @BrentWilliams710 Yeah, what's up with that?

  • @BrentWilliams710 Definately not the same sound as St. Anger's snare. Personally I'm a fan that they used the 'trash-can snare' on St. Anger. This here isn't the same, this one still has a little of that standard snare sound, Lars' on St. Anger was all out steel, none of that 'smack' sound. But yeah, all in all Megadeth fans are more tolerant, and imo better fans, and I'm a huge fan of both bands.

  • @MasterofKnees Yeah, some Metallica fans are so stupid. Especially the kind that get all pissed off listening to 'Lulu' because they were basically expecting a clone of 'Master of Puppets' even though their music has greatly progressed after 25 years.

  • @BrentWilliams710 Yeah, I gotta admit, I'm no fan of Lulu, and I didn't really expect something that bad, but I never expected something that would catch my attention seeing as I am no Lou Reed fan at all. Atleast it can give me a good laugh once in a while, as long as the band is satisfied then I'm fine with it, noone forces me to listen to it. Metallica fans really are hideous, that's why I seek shelter with Megadeth ;)

  • neil peert? 1:16

  • I wonder if he's allowed to play anything other than ddrum...I think that's how endorsement deals work, if I'm not mistaken

  • The song he is playing are bits of sleepwalker :D

  • left handed musicians rule in this right handed world that sucks so much

  • NICK MENZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrFoomonkey69 Nick, Gar, and Shawn were the best Megadeth drummers by far!

  • @pompousstomp You couldn't play any better, shithole!

  • moron??i grew up with shawn and glen asshole and he is just another lazy ass metal drummer.the only reason he is in megadeth is cause of his bro glen.if he would have taken lessons from somebody he might be a giant today.looks like your just another metal drummer too then lmao.wanna be,s with no talent

  • I saw this guy play open handed for the 1st time and I was like, I HAVE to try that!! The sound you get outta your snare, is like nothing I've ever heard lol

  • Terrana can play this with one foot hanging from the tree you fell from shawn,you suck!!!

  • @pompousstomp Just b/c a drummer is good, doesn't automatically mean another sucks. Fuckin moron

  • Is what he plays at the end from a Megadeth song, i'm trying to think whether it is or not, or is it just a random pattern?

  • he drinks green tea, and chris always coffee.. thats why he play so fast

  • Shawn Drover spelled backwards is “Shawn Drover”

  • The next Rock Band will feature a new difficulty on drums known as "Shawn Drover". As soon as the song begins, Shawn Drover will leap out of the TV, crush your hands and say "NEVER! You can't be me!"

  • @GoJays09 He's not that great.

  • THAT DOUBLE BASS!!!!!

  • rush is a guy?

  • i met him once too, he signed my megadeth poster

  • I used to play soccer with Shawn and sleep at his house. He was one of our top soccer players until he discovered music. He played for both competitive and local soccer teams. On the local team, he beat my team one game 4-0 and he got all four goals. Still remember that game because i got kicked in the nuts and couldn't run. Next game we got revenge beating his team 12-0. As a kid he never stopped laughing. He was a clown. I still remember the drum set in his basement. I am proud of Shawn.

  • shawn signed my guitar and i shook his hand and we got to talk

  • hey look up Christopher Doom Schneider, GRATE DRUMMER!!

  • Just ok... if your a pro drummer everything you play should blow everyone away

  • PLEASE DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HEADS HE USED IN THIS VID PLEASE NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!!!

  • PLEASE DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HEADS HE USED IN THIS VID PLEASE NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!!!

  • I never noticed he was left handed until now lol :p

  • wath model is that snare???

  • ddrum again. why? crappy drums...

  • I'm surprised how cheap that snare is to buy. Aluminum snares are getting more popular among other brands, but they charge, at least, 3 times the price. I want that snare!

  • foot work is sloppy and hes just doing a very simple beat

  • @WotWOfficial Shut the fuck up.

  • @WotWOfficial so why he is in megadeth and you are just staing home and waching porn ????

  • @KrisTerziev because hes a good drummer im not saying he sucks im just saying it was a little sloppy i can tell you exact spots were im talking about. im not some loser who hates him and doesnt know what im talking about im a drummer to and i respect megadeath. and i dont sit at home and watch porn all day im in a band thats recording right now and im in school so dont just asume things

  • is it me or is he left handed????

  • @MrAwesomesauce88 I noticed that as well.

  • @ixcaliber lol

  • For me, the best drummer for megadeth was gar samuelson :( he's one of my gods on drums, after him, comes nick menza, then shawn drover.

  • amazing drummer, hope to see him live with megadeth, and maybe have his drumstick!

  • Go open-handed drummers!!! Just amazing... I want that exact drumset............

  • a lot of people bash Drover as a shitty drummer but he really seems like a team player (and cool guy) in the Megadeth camp which adds a lot of value to the bands energy and cause, the same with Chris, both these guys work well with Dave and both are technically sound musicians (Chris is a virtuoso)...everyone wants Marty and Nick to come back but those guys weren't team players (towards the end) and could never produce anything with Dave and therefore could never come back

  • Is Shawn Drover left handed? o.O

  • @BeatDrumSticks

    Dont think, he just plays open handed.

  • sleepwalker!!!!!!

    

  • LOL ! at 3:27 "it's got a warm souunnn..." Shawn Drover is a beast at drums :D

  • Sleepwalker drums at the beginning? :D

  • @Wrathmont313 Its Sleepwalker all the way through.

  • Menza is b3ttur

  • i like shawns playing but i hate the continus double bass...

  • @TheMegamania love that sound he doesnt use it all the time but it keeps like that "tank" sound ya know like something is charging in i love it bro

  • Shawn Drover once took out a drumstick in an airport... there were no survivors

  • 0:57 - The guy reflected in the window has a DW shirt on :-)

  • is his ash kit the dios ash kit off the ddrum site

  • in my opinion, shawn is better than nick, and also hes not on fucking drugs either!

  • why does eveyone think nick menza is better, shawn drover beats him like a run away slave everytime

  • @tribrow1 I think your crazy.

  • @mahy169 oh butt shawn drover is way better, admittedly most of nick menza's stuff sounds better but drover is more skilled

  • @tribrow1 no not really....shawn doesn't know where and how to use fills...he needs parts that only menza can pulloff...and besides menza's unique for megadeth,he belonged there...he was very important in thier rise to fame..I mean rust in peace up to cryptic writings wouldnt be the same without him.

  • @mahy169 i kinda get what you mean its like metallica without lars, im not a full on megadeth fan so i dont really see nick menza in the same way you do, but i do understand your point. shawn is an awsome drummer and so is menza but personaly i just think shawn is more skilled, although his stuff dosent sound so nice, then again he hasnt been on a legendary album like rust in peace, so no one will appreciate him as much as menza.

  • @tribrow1 but hes putting in work endgame is competing with rust in peace 2 fukin must listen to albums in thrash metal...personally i kinda like endgame more. only slightly but yea ur right most ppl wont see it until hes with em longer but hes gettin there and i think hes the perfect fit for megadeth and im sure hes gonna propel the drumming style of thrash even further :)

  • @OGTheDemon This Day We Fight is a neat song for drumming.

  • Love seeing lefty drummers play, they give me (a lefty) inspiration to get my own kit =)

  • gratters by Endgame

  • is he right or left handed because he plays the hi hat and snare with left handed but he plays the toms right handed so confussing

  • @MrMusic793 hes open handed, some people just find it more comfortable not having their arms crossed =]

  • he's playing sleepwalker :D

  • Big Shawn Drover! ^ _ ^

  • I dont know much about drumming to be honest. But it seems as if Shawn is technically well trained (as all Megadeth members had been) but he is not a beast like Dave Lombardo or Nick Menza.

  • @ulizinho hes amazing at drums and i think he could beat nick tbh

  • @s1r0tt

    ok, was just my impression. Nick beats the drums with more arm movement and swing making it look more powerful.

    I wish, Megadeth used also some more groovy rhythm, something atypical for metal.

  • Dickwad boring asswipeish..

  • Normal people wear Superman pajamas to bed. Superman wears Shawn Drover pajamas to bed.

  • @rocafella142 Nope...you got it wrong...it's normal people wear Superman pajamas to bed...in Soviet Russia, Superman wears Shawn Drover pajamas to bed x^D

  • @rocafella142 Shawn Drover > Chuck Norris

  • @rocafella142 and Shawn Drover wears Joey Jordison pants to bed!

  • @mumpump And Joey Jordison wears Daniel Erlandsson's to pants to bed!

  • @rocafella142 Only in Russia...:^P

  • Comment removed

  • I really wonder......Why does he play like that? Is he left handed?Then why can't he just rearrange his kit?

  • @broodoftheinfinite I don't believe hes left handed. He plays an OPEN Handed style and thats why he has the ride over there and what not lol

  • @metaldrummer47 umm... he is lol but yea ur answer was exactly same as mine b4 i knew he was left handed and i know that right handed people play like that too

  • @broodoftheinfinite nah he uses the open hand style leadin with right and left :)

  • 4:17 double pedal???

  • Comment removed

  • fuck the haters!!!!!! DROVER!!!!!!! \m/

  • God damn he is so fuckin awesome!!!!

  • Guys, please! Shut the fuck up!! Stop comparing the diferents drummer who played with Megadeth and talk about the Shawn Drover snare Signature! Please, can someone tell me about this snare? Uhm?

  • @autopsiante all i can tell u is that it sounds great and that shawn drover is an excellent drummer he can take a speed metal song and make it look like its being played in slow motion...speed diversity GROOVE and ultimate control over his kit....he truly is a master of his craft!! sry i ramble xD

  • @autopsiante I got the snare for my birthday, its worth every penny. Its got a deep-ish sound, but its got pop to it.

  • I like how his snare hand just dies on the snare upon contact with it. Drover's a beast!

  • Nick was the best but shawn is great as well and if u dont no that then u dont no anything about drums and he is such a nice guy as well, although Nick is still my fav megadeth drummer

  • this drummer is so bad ass!!!!!!!!!!

  • shawns a beast, great player, tho i didnt really like the drum line in sleepwalker, its pretty boring. but every other song i love it. megadeths best drummer.

  • that is my dream drumset that thing is a fuckin monster so is niko's drumset from iron maiden now that drumset is the bomb not even a bomb its a fuckin nuclear weapon

  • He has real tight drumming technique UPz!!!!

  • I think Shawn is the best live, studio, and just the best sounding drummer Megadeth ever had. Gar and Nick were really good though.

  • Meeking this guy tomorrow. At an instore. I have already met james Lomenzo so this will be exciting!

  • I play dominan ash ddrum and they are the sickest sounding drum on the planet. I'll put it this way I use to play DW custom and I switched because of the craftmenship and quality and no gimmicks to there shells what so ever!!!

  • I think he's doing a good job. Megadeth have an extensive back catalogue now and they need someone who can keep the style of 5 other drummers (besides himself) grounded and in one place. Samuelson, Behler, Menza, Degrasso, Colaiuta...he's in seriously good company here. I trust Mustaines judgement when it comes to Megadeth. And for the record, I didn't like him at first either.

  • ok im a drummer and megadeth is probably my favorite band. yes i will agree he could add some of his own style to the old megadeth songs. but his stuff on endgame kicks ass. he does his job well which is keep the beat and keeping it steady. that is the main purpose for drummers

  • @6393dude No. No, it isn't. A drummer's job is to be an integral part of the band. To make his kit, style and sound work in harmony with the rest of the band. When all members of the band are playing in harmony, it's the kind of stuff you can feel in your bones, in your muscles. It can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It can send a tingle up and down your spine. Menza had it. Drover doesn't. Drover's skilled, but he's no artist and he doesn't belong in MegaDeth.

  • @VirikNavarro i completely disagree i think he has an excellent flow with megadeth and makes the melody flow so well with dave chris and ellefson

  • @VirikNavarro

    atleast Shawn is loyal, he doesnt seem to want to get out of the band and i dont think Dave is an idiot, if he chose Shawn to be the drummer that means that hes great

  • @aaronalwines well.. that's because his drums are so easy to play...they are almost basic. anyone with a few years in the drums can play that. and even when he create that drums.. he screw really bad in live.

    I saw them a few times so I can tell you that...

    I like megadeth, I like'em so bad... I grew listing his albums and stuff.. and I can tell you.. he's one of the worst drummers in deth's history.

    I'm not looking for some death hiper complex jazz progresive metal... 'coz I am drummer too

  • @dharcoon so... I can tell you that with some property.

    I'm just looking for that almost killer songs from deth's past... and with shawn I don't feel that. I heard holy wars played by him.. and, god... it sucks!. Hangar 18, Sweating bullets, etc... he's trying to emulate the album versions and he can't! maybe if he adds his own ideas to the songs... they would sound great, but he doesn't!

    Anyway.. I don't like shawn..

  • @dharcoon

    if he sucked at playing those old megadeth songs, then the whole song would sound bad live, cause the drums are a very important part of the music, but no, megadeths songs all sound awesome live, that means that Shawn is doing his job right, hes supposed to try to play the closest to what the past drummers did and keep the music from falling apart, if you want to see his style just check out songs from Endgame or United Abominations

  • Shawn's a decent drummer. But the best drummer to have played with Megadeath..Jimmy Degrasso.

  • @GPz84 Jimmy plays hard, but Shawn is more accurate and sticks to Megadeth's style. Degrasso adds his own flavor, but fills in weird spots. BTW its spelled MEGADETH.

  • Is he left-handed or does he just play open handed?

  • @juliandeal93 i d say he s left handed

  • @juliandeal93 maybe left handed but his drumming style might be to play open handed ( playing hi hat with left hand )

  • Shawn Drover.... you are not the drummer for Megadeth :\ you suck at the old school megadeth stuff... Nick Menza you are the only that can save this fcking suffering!

  • @marquillomijares xD yeah but, come on, Drover is a good drummer :D

    not as Menza obviously, but he is fast, creative and i dont know cosistent

    and i think he deserve respect n_n

  • @martingiraldo yeah but anyways... he is now the megadeth drummer what can we do ? :(

  • i know mics making everything sound better but seriously his kit sounds absolutely beautiful!!!

  • Shawn is a great drummer he almost reminds me of Chuck Behler. But he needs to make his drum louder. Comparing old drumming Deth to New Drumming Deth the drums were way louder and had more punch to it

  • @rengoku23 lol chuck behler was pretty bad at drumming. Shawn actually keeps good timing and has endurance

  • Idiots, stop giving Shawn a hard time, We all know he isn't Gar or Nick, and he's new, but seriously, He's consistent, strong, fast, great footwork, creative. How can he suck if he can play all the megadeth songs plus things he wrote in the last 6 years?

  • @0intelligence0 oh, c'mon! gimme a break! shawn drover... creative? are you serious?

    he's like a robot trying to imitate the album versions...no creativity at all! and even with that he screw most of the songs...

    he doesn't have creativy! he's boring and slow...

    he's not the deth's drummer... he's just a n00b fan trying to play that songs...

    I BET THAT BEFORE HE START TO PLAY IN DETH HE NEVER LISTEN A SONG OF THEM...

  • @dharcoon

    oh, so i guess Dave mustaine is a complete idiot for choosing a noob to play drums for them

    youre an idiot, if Dave chose Shawn as the drummer and hasnt kicked him out after 6 years, that means that Shawn is a good drummer, who cares if hes not as good as Nick, Jimmy or Gar? hes still great

    what do you think hes supposed to do, completely change the original drumming of older songs just to be creative?

  • Shawn may be not as good as those former Megadeth drummers, but personally he's fit for being a Megadeth drummer..

  • @dharcoon ur a stupid ass all ur looking for is an argument and shawn is an amazing drummer and evryone else thinks so to......so shut the fuck up ur making ur self look stupid

  • he sucks!!

  • YOU SUCK !!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DARE TO CALL YOURSELF A DRUMMER!!. YOU'RE THE BIGGEST SHAME OF ALL DRUM WORLD.

    LEARN TO PLAY!! YOU LOOK LIKE A TURTLE !!

  • @dharcoon Are you fucking kidding me?? Shawn is one of the most consistent drummers Megadeth has ever had.

  • @sixxthunderbird here here. that guy or boy doesnt know what a good metal drummer is.

  • i think shawn is a good drummer, but to be in megadeth has to be a little more

    maybe if he could use his natural feet (the left) he would be more solid with drum bass...

  • i think shawn is a good drummer, but to be in megadeth has to be a little more

    maybe if he could use his natural feet (the right one) he would be more solid with drum bass...

  • Oh, nevermind. Didn't read the description.

    Which symbal distributor is he using? Does ddrum produce that too, and if not then can anyone tell me?

  • @MetallicaRemixes He uses Sabian cymbals. I'm not sure, but I don't think they're connected to ddrum.

  • Is that Sleepwalker he's jamming to in the intro?

  • dam i wish i can double bass like that i can barely make it through sins of ommision...

  • "Why did you switch to Ddrum"

    "Money"

  • the last drumming was catchy well for me =]

  • shaw is sik

  • at the beginning- Dialectic Chaos?

  • No offense but he is the worst Megadeth drummer if you skip Chuck Behler.

  • @Chester1004 yep!!! you're right, dude!!!

    is so basic...I mean.. bah!.. he suck..

  • @Chester1004

    even if Shawn is the worst, all the drummers Megadeth ever had were amazing, including Shawn, and hes actually one of my personal favs drummers form Megadeth along with Nick and Gar, but Jimmy Degrasso and Chuck Behler are also great

    and if you count Vinnie Colaiuta he can be their best ever, but he just played on The System Has Failed and nothing more

    if i had to choose their worst it would be Chuck, but hes great too

  • @MetalHeadFilipeG96

    I respect your opinion man but Drover doesnt belong in the category as Gar, Menza and Degrasso.

    Gar was probably most talented drummer, he gave Megadeth the jazz felling and sound.

    Menza is expert at speed and double bass, you hear big improvement in speed at Rust in Peace.

    Degrasso- talent, speed and songwriting.

    The reason why i dont like Drover is because he looks like he makes every Megadeth song x10 slower and there wasnt any epic drumming on UA or Endgame.

  • @Chester1004

    its true that Shawn isnt as good as Gar, Nick or Jimmy, but for some reason i just love watching and hearing him play drums, i dont know why

    and if Shawn has been in Megadeth for 6 years, he must be doing something right

  • @Chester1004 for the record you know menza has the most jazzy style right?

  • @ultimatefighter187

    no he doesnt

  • @Chester1004 really menza was influence by louie bellson,buddy rich among others..jazz players and watch him with soultone...he plays manly jazz stuff.

  • @Chester1004 mmm no!

  • He is a great Drummer and has a really cool Style to play. He makes it look so easy. In my opinion, he is the best Drummer ever in Megadeth after Nick Menza.

  • @NoOida Gar is easily better than Shawn AND Menza. Shawn is probably their weakest drummer ever.

  • Shawn i fucking love you, i want you to have all of my babies

  • Comment removed

  • Shit, his set ups identical to mine yet half the height!.

  • SLEEPWALKER!!!!ahhhhhh

    

  • shawn drover is a fucking beast, i used to play drums until picked up a guitar and sold my drum set for an ibanez... but this movie makes me miss my drum set.

  • Shawn Drover doesn't play drums, the drums get Shawn Drover'd.

    Shawn Drover can play "Painkiller" with one bass pedal.

    The drum opening for "Hot For Teacher" was actually a ultrasound recording of when Shawn Drover was still in the womb.

  • @GibsonGuitarist1022 Pffft!, Kollias can play "Painkiller" by glaring at his drums!, Kollias wins!.

  • @GibsonGuitarist1022 sweeet, ipreffer him in comprison with norris

  • of course !!! amazing guy and nice job in megadeth , sweet sounding kit. \m/

  • they sound amazing
