When I was 16, my old band opened for Wrathchild. Seeing Shannon literally changed my life!!! Many years later, I had a viral video called "Drummer At The Wrong Gig." Shannon is 100% responsible for any success I've enjoyed. I've since met Shannon several times, and he truly is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

Steve I used to see you in Ocean City MD and always swore you were influenced by Shannon. Enjoy you videos too man..

[@themaddrummerofficial]

@@randysingleton813 I appreciate that. I enjoyed Ocean City. Shannon was like James Brown (to ALL who followed). 🤘

Shannon Larkin is such a great drummer! Thank you for posting this interview. Great insight into his drums, playing style, etc 👏

As a drummer who is an ear player I completely understand where he's coming from. I played in the high school jazz band and really couldn't read. I was busted when the jazz band teacher noticed. I wasn't turning my page when I should have. I got to keep my drum chair because he said my playing was very good. But to this day I can read somewhat but just give me the recording and I can learn it much easier. Cool to know Shannon is the same way!!
