IMV Trailer: Shannon Larkin, drummer for Godsmack

Shannon Larkin is the explosive drummer of the band GODSMACK. His distinct approach to drumming and ballistic stage presence have made him a dominant force in arenas and in the studio.
In his IMV "Behind the Player" DVD, Larkin gives an intimate behind-the scenes look at his life as a professional musician including rare photos and video footage.

Larkin then gives in-depth lessons for how to play "Straight out of Line" and "Voodoo" by Godsmack on drums and jams the tracks with Godsmack bassist Robbie Merrill.

Shannon Larkin will kick portnoys ass all day any day

[ilikehockey13]

Every drum vid, someone brings up Joey. Joey is okay, but there are SO many drummers better than him.

[ForgettingLastFall]

he only plays three on the bass

[ForgettingLastFall]

what does he say at 0:35

[I'm Yo Fatha]

Joey Jordison is the best drummer.

[Robert Costello]

They are both bad ass drummers, but Mike will kick his ass on drums

[TheColbles2009]

2:02 is the heaviest shit ever

[TNA796]

Hopefully getting a electronic drum kit (no room to put a ful lacoustic kit) Shannon Larkin and Sully Erna's drum battle on the 'Changes' Dvd inspired me to really try to get into the drums
