Seriously, One of the best drummers EVER!! I was lucky enough to receive a few of his Vic Firth sticks and a signed drumhead from the entire band; it is my most prized possession. Shannon is a freaking ANIMAL! There’s no one like him! 🤘🏻❤🤘🏻

His shit is so cool, crazy. It's the opposite of what most of us do, move economically and conserve energy. I love to watch him. Even though his moves are scripted, he comes off as authentic and enthusiastic to me.

Shannon is a beast on the drums. Love watching him play in all his video's and how crazy he gets. He's gets crazy like Flea from RHCP when he plays.

My thoughts exactly. He's my favorite. My second favorite is Kai Hahto, who's arguably mroe skilled than Shannon, but his spirit alone is something else.

Man, I dig Shannon's vids! On a side note, I'm now 59 y/o (told I still look 35-45 and act 25! haha) I thought the same about the stick size, so at the beginning of this year I went from a VF 2B to a VF 5B. I tried for 4 months to get used to them and playing just didn't feel the same. You simply just don't get the same rebound feel from a smaller lighter stick, so this past week I went back to the VF 2B and all is good in the universe again. I will continue to use the larger sticks like Shannon says..."Until I cant anymore." For now, I'm still good! Been using VC since 1990, back when they were 4-5 bux a pair! The QUALITY has NEVER changed!

My dad always used 5B Nylon Tips. He would use the house brand at Mom's Music in Louisville, KY which were Vater. He had me playing since I was five. When I started taking it seriously at 13 I would use the Mom's 5B Nylon brand too because that's what they would by...but when I got my license shit changed and I went to Mom's Music and I tested so many sticks. Nothing felt as good as a Vic Firth stick with my style of playing. At first I stayed at 5B Nylon but I was breaking them a bit often for my liking due to playing hard as hell. So I switched to 2B Nylon. Heavy as hell can take a beating. Then one day I just got tired of the heavy sticks and wasting money...because I was not only breaking sticks but cymbals. So I went with 7A Nylon. Not one you would think of with Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. But I forced myself to change and it was the best thing ever because not only did I save money I became a better player overall. Every young drummer I see, I tell them you don't actually have to kill the kit to actually look like you're killing the kit. I've had a few ask me to show them and I'm always willing to take the time to show the next generations of musicians and share the knowledge. I've been buying Vic Firth 7A Nylon for so long, that I started buying them by the brick. Then I'd roll test them and if any were warped all I'd have to do was call or email. They would handle it every time. There may be one stick...two max in every two or three bricks of thirty pairs. That's excellence right there. Sadly I can't play anymore because I am have a damn bone disease that has made me fully disabled and caused me my mobility but I can't help but still buy a pair of sticks every now and then. Keep playing and practicing...and always persevere
