[@MarkL-t3m]

A Godsmack drum battle is the BEST EVER!!!!!

[@MayorofNumber3]

I love watching Shannon play. He’s a badass!!

[@ALASKAPOCKEHOLER]

Sully kicks ass also ! ❤

[@Travismddn]

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.

[@ragefromwithin74]

I liked his playing on the album climbing the walls when he was with WRATHCHILD AMERICA

[@chrisrobinson9332]

Sully is such a talented guy the drums, piano, guitar and the list goes on

[@Danie11o]

This never gets old! AWESOME 😎

[@JCordoba1001]

It’s so old it needs a walker! Boring AF

[@macadoo2530]

You sure? See the above comments..😂

[@mateuss.ribeirodeoliveira3377]

the version you say, right??

[@rockmanf8214]

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 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@michellepodolsky7946]

We really do fn rock 🎉

[@timothysullivan4130]

Shannon & Sully are ridiculous!👏👏👍👍☝️☝️

[@danbgt]

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.

[@chrishard9801]

That was almost 20 years ago man. Madley In Anger with the World Tour. Seems like yesterday though

[@danbgt]

@@chrishard9801 Wow! Doesn’t seem like that long. Time flies. “Once you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed.”

[@jasondorman3739]

Saw them with Metallica in 04/05 in Roanoke Va. They were awesome live.

[@weaverjsnw]

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....

[@gustavolandazuri4302]

Lars was " I can do that but I play for metallica" so I can't join

[@thunderanderson]

I believe we need more of this kind of music and fun

[@stevesmith8493]

Yes, fun!

[@darceyweimer3171]

14 years later ...still friggin awesome❤️

[@SamDiscovers]

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!

[@shanegriffin2215]

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.

[@cindywolfe7997]

Saw him then too, with wrathchild. He was a badass then, & still is. 🤘

[@dethmonger117]

Loved wrathchild America, I survived new years eve at swizzles

[@andrewnutt6697]

and he would spin his hair around fast as shit...

[@davidlaroche2622]

This was A AWESOME Concert GODSMACK ROCKS 👍 ✌🤘🤌

[@davidsharpe9946]

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

[@shannonjensrud5712]

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🤘

[@JeffGraff-w1w]

Yes couldn’t agree more. These guys are freaking awesome and they Got it all at the gettin place. Way to go Godsmack

[@JeffGraff-w1w]

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.

[@richardtitzmann3217]

ABSOLUTELY %100🤗😂👍

[@kennethallen7832]

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.❤

[@AugustAMcClung]

I’ve seen them live twice….this is the best part of the show

[@bigd9469]

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.

[@diegoc2631]

Old and slow.. 😂😂

[@wheelz23]

Yeah, from the faces dvd.

[@colonelangus2580]

Shannon definitely seems to just be going through the motions. No passion no power.

[@janicebabin2764]

Seen them duo like 20 years ago unbelievable sully can hit the kit as good as his actual drummer

[@RGCJ8763]

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.

[@pdxpete48]

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.

[@bryankemp9801]

Just saw them last night

[@mmbuswell6685]

They are freakin' awesome! We loved seeing them live! Definitely worth it!

[@Onijak]

I saw them recently and it's definitely worth it.

[@RencoSC]

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!!!🤘😁👍

[@StephenRushlow-i1x]

Saw them back in '01 want to see them again!

[@AndreA-uw8mc]

Thank You!!

[@timcollins9242]

My wife and I were there. Such an AMAZING show!!

[@user-jw9wp7sq8x]

I'm 60 next month. Been playing since I was 8 Love this video

[@user-jw9wp7sq8x]

Awesome dudes😊

[@user-jw9wp7sq8x]

Wished I could jam wit ya'll. I'll show you something.

[@user-jw9wp7sq8x]

Still pretty awesome Especially the Neil Pert run near the end!😊

[@v2tryhard146]

Were all getting older aren't we,if not then were still not here rocking on...❤Godsmack

[@erich591]

Twin blue acrylics. 💙 good taste fellas. Got a blue Luddy acrylic myself. 🔥💯🔥

[@RickyGotskills]

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!!!!

[@chadfeathers3001]

Absolute BEASTS

[@joeblowme7308]

Saw them do this back before 2010, was awesome then and still awesome now!

[@johanabandova4901]

❤👌dokola a dokola a pořád nemá člověk dost

[@tngrrl73]

Everybody's a critic... they rocked it.

[@jasons783]

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.

[@adanvaldcontreras4283]

These guys always amaze me..🤘👍🏼

[@CelticDreamer]

Saw this live in 2006 was a life highlight for sure and that is an insane understatement!! It was incredible then and incredible now!!

[@billherman9142]

I watch this daily. It is F...... Awesome!!!!

[@RonaldShaup-dm1it]

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🤟

[@kaitlynchadwick2450]

Love it this would be the first concert I would go to

[@JamalGood-l1r]

Absolutely outstanding!

[@humbledrummer777]

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.

[@windog551]

Love these.

[@wendymc218]

Absolutely perfect for an Aquarian Sully Erma🙂💜

[@BBQOnABudget]

I will see this live some day.

[@TheTazz2you]

[@SandraPokorneyCmonDude]

Larkin's an animal...off the chain man.

[@janicebabin2764]

Seen them duo many years ago so bad ass

[@rickeymoore667]

Rocklahoma in a few weeks can't wait

[@erikmazzarese1064]

I was a roadie for godsmack... great fucking time!!! No rest for the wicked!!

[@shatteredstiks7392]

I still liked it it was first time hearing it live fully

[@robertbryson2923]

That's called... Badassaration baby !!!

[@GaryHeilmann-hg8me]

I tell you what that was awesome in concert live and is still awesome just the way they play thanks Godsmack for a great concert in Pittsburgh Pa

[@johnnyx196]

Lawrence MA. In the house...

[@mattmorford7489]

That was cool and fun to watch

[@bw6138]

This reminds me of the song "Serenity"

[@jdhodge5647]

[@vinniebrinich98]

[@billyraymond9416]

[@markll518]

One of the best shows ever

[@bernieboucher5849]

Was at this show, great as usual 🤘

[@mikeschumacher9715]

Playing his newly issued RCI built Vistalites.

[@rickeymoore667]

I'd pay to see them at Rocklahoma every year take my money

[@rickeymoore667]

Legendary

[@Eric-os9wg]

I was front row center at this show Mohegan Sun is the biggest casino in Connecticut

[@chrismoody9855]

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.

[@jodigraham6204]

Agree with all ,,,and Im a drummer too!! Nothing like that Original Drum Kit Battle years ago!!

[@katewithat]

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! 🤘🤘🤘

[@5starjerkers]

they old now, they are no longer there younger selves 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@bradharvy13]

I just thought the same. Kinda corny, really. Very cool 1st time. Didn't move me, really. Good drumming as stated, but.

[@nbsells3912]

Agree… But if you’ve never seen it before and not expecting it… Its amazing!!

[@zecneves4948]

Muito bom

[@beauhughes7418]

Fuck awesome

[@rickeymoore667]

Yeah seen them three times at Rocklahoma hasn't changed Get the money not sure if u can change it it

[@Retired1958]

Sully & Shannon are both great🤩

[@taufik8683]

Wow i waiting in here

[@crS-CS-]

chapeau bas.

[@annagood1392]

There will never be another john Bonham ever

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

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!

[@TheTwistedMystic]

It's all they know.

[@Lizardkingmediaproductions]

It's technically a song they're playing not a real drum off.

[@michaelmichell6012]

Saw them years ago with Volbeat as warmup and the group I was with all felt Volbeat stole the show!

[@Mike-iu8wh]

Fkn A….love when the drummers face off like this!

[@hrvojedruskovic8683]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Menyhard]

Nice

[@blauwzakjecrack]

[@kaosphotography]

iPhone14 Pro. Thank you.

[@Steveloeffler]

Yeah props to you that's a hell of a phone

[@chadkent1241]

[@seanellis3921]

[@xjinnxghn1837]

Ну здесь кроме как сказать что..... СУКА!!!ЭТО БЫЛО КРУТО ❤❤❤и нечего сказать

[@jfeal]

Fucking wicked!!!!!+

[@ronaldworster6640]

Why change such a winning recipe? Its a very awesome part of their show

[@krishankins1306]

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

[@underwood9229]

tom sawyer part! miss the professor

[@sterlingmarsh7999]

Don't we all?

[@Alec-f4z]

Very cool bro 👽🌈

[@drmrdude1965]

Seen them live in 2004.

[@Gundoctor913A]

Saw them do this in Nashville back in 04’… maybe 05’🤔

[@tazxxx101]

Sully... there's nothing more powerful than 2 drums slamming at the same time (Godsmack Changes). \m/

[@cycoworx4439]

Godsmack Rules this D'rum solo:"

[@justcrusin4633]

THATS KILLER GOTTA BE BETTER LIVE FOR SURE

[@sachmo0196]

All given by GOD!...Let's play :)

[@kennethtaylor5084]

Fanbloodytastic.

[@tysoncampbell4607]

Got a stick from sully 2004 with they did the battle before they opened for Metallica Omaha

[@Lizardkingmediaproductions]

I don't understand why they don't do a full album songs like this and pair up with Dead can Dance.

[@michaelthorne5441]

Nothing like the boss that hired you to try and show you up

[@daveyboy269]

The BEST 🤪

[@brianpatterson5058]

I always enjoyed this in the show but damn they have been doing it exactly the same for 20 years or more.
