I meant that I had ordered this kit previously during the Alice In Chains tour. I used my exotic for that tour.

Awesome man!! I could only dream💭 congratulations Shaun for having your dream with Modern Drummer as well 🤘 good stuff bro!!

[BrandonSmith-yurv]

That’s a really awesome story about him writing the letter to Modern Drummer. I started reading when I started playing at 13 years old - you guys helped drive my passion for drumming. Thanks for all that you do!

[NilsHedstrom]

Yes! Been wanting more videos about Shaun and his set up! BB is one of my favorite bands and Shaun is a killer drummer!

[realestbg]

As a young boy my favorite magazine was not Playboy, my favorite magazine was Modern Drummer!! Women come and go, but drums last forever, LOL. LOVE THESE TOUR KIT VIDEOS, I know that I keep asking, but again I hope to see Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger) and Deen Castronovo (Journey) on these tour kit videos!!

Shaun is a big influence on me. He always adds interesting flavors to his drum parts. His kick drum pattern on "Tourniquet" and those hits on the hi-hat during the chorus of "Close Your Eyes" are some examples. Love your work and appreciate the kit rundown.

what an awesome run down. BB is one of my favorite bands of all time. I know they've been with quite a few different drummers over the years. This guy seems really cool and down to earth. I hope I can see the band live soon

[mikelowrey]

What a fantastic story of writing the letter and the kindness of the reply. Those are the stories that need to be told.

[ZachBratland]

Saw you play in my town Sioux Falls SD at the Denny Sanford Center. Absolutely crushed your solo🔥

[joelwaggoner]

I don't think I've ever seen drummers use the bass drum as a floor tom before!! I can't believe you used it in addition to the bass drum!! Very awesome man!! Your drumming for the past couple of albums in Breaking Ben has been phenomenal!! @sfoist

[MTuriano]

Great video. Very ingenious way to use those triggers. Nice playing. Also such a great story.

Everyone needs a Nebe in their life. Some of the best metal snares you can get.

I don’t listen to BB all the time but I was listening in the car yesterday and was hearing all the double bass closed hi hat parts and thinking “he’s gotta have 2 hi hats”
