Metal drummer reacts to Drummer at the wrong gig

[@themaddrummerofficial]

I really appreciate the kind words. I'm a HUGE fan of your playing (and the channel). I'm often here for the Friday Hang (OHHH YURRR). A lot of your subscribers have mentioned Shannon Larkin. When I was 16 years old, I opened up for Shannon. Seeing him live changed everything for me. I've mentioned him in practically every interview I've ever done. He's even invited me to several Godsmack shows, and we've hung out backstage. I say this all the time, but meeting guys like Shannon, Portnoy, Lombardo, Hoglan, has honestly been the highlight of my life. All the other stuff is just "nice." LOL Thank you again for the very kind words. It really means a lot. 🙏

[@nathanvetter8717]

You are a phenomenal drummer! Thanks Steve for the laughs!

[@kevindickey5332]

Next level optical awesomeness, and a visual masterclass in stick tricks and percussion related sleight of hand on a world class level, and I'm a huge fan of Shannon Larkin, Rikki Rockett, Tommy Lee, and many other legendary Sultans of the Stick Trick. But I would be willing to bet that on many occasions Shannon Larkin has spent many hours watching video of Steve Moore and saying to himself " DAMN! I have GOT to learn how to do that!!" 🥁🤘

I think the most impressive part is how tight he is, even when he plays like that. And the sound itself remains the same. Close your eyes and you won't even know the guy is going crazy. It's insane.

[@debibrewster9080]

Truth. This would be completely lame if the drumming wasn't stellar. Legit good drumming. And a total dufus . Love it.

[@alexbouchard6851]

Exactly my thoughts! If I ever try to add some moves like he does, I smash the kit so hard thhe sound becomes totally different

[@farrex0]

There is a video of Portnoy playing with him and they alternate parts. I know Portnoy is not one of the best, but he has always been a very solid drummer, who is very clean and always keeps time. Anyways, Portnoy was trying to imitate him, but Portnoy lost time several times and was not very clean. So I know you did not need a reason to know that is very hard, but there is another one. When you see someone such as Portnoy, attempt somethign like that and struggle, you realize how very difficult it truly is.

[@KennelGuyTries]

I've seen a bunch of his videos. I don't think the audience has any comprehension of just how much concentration and talent is involved in what the drummer is doing. If they did, he'd get a standing ovation. To do all those tricks AND keep perfect timing is just insane. It's hard enough not rushing a song live. This is a guy that has mastered his craft through years and years of dedication and practice.

I'm happy to hear a tight drummer, but this was poetic.

[@aarodful]

It's crazy high skill level. Result of tons of hours of practice.

This guy is great. I have had the pleasure of having a few drinks with him at a casino in MN. He's a metal drummer at heart for sure. At the time he was really into Slipknot and LoG

[@edvinparmeza1298]

this guy was one of my main inspirations as a drummer...when I played with many bands years before, I would start doing the same crazy things like him, such as standing up while playing, doing weird and funny movements while playing difficult drumming parts, and people would be a lot more entertained than with other bands...I wish I will be as lucky as you to meet him one day

I would definitely hire this band to play at my wedding (if that ever happens). Then during one of their breaks, I could just walk up to the drummer with my snare and ask him for his signature.

And, not only is drummer Steve (I'm assuming that's his name by how many people referenced him by name in the other comments) catching them, every one of them was like a ball hitting nothing but net. It's hard to tell exactly, but that looks like a solid 8 to 10 feet or maybe even a smidge more between them... To do that during a performance and not have either guy make a single mistake, wow. Props to the whole band really. I'm about as hard to impress (It's a hell of a thing being a crabby old bugger! :P ) as they come and that entertained me and then some.
