Emmy’s Favorite Taurus Drummers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m gonna be honest, this list was extremely hard to narrow down, because it’s clear that Earth signs make the best drummers (spoiler alert! Capricorn’s and Virgo’s make fantastic drummers as well). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know I LOVE research rabbit holes, so part of what helped me narrow this down was finding videos that screamed “Taurus” at me. While I left out some great drummers in the deep dive, know that they are still very present throughout this playlist. Feel free to listen on your own and let me know if you can hear\/feel the Taurus vibes throughout the playlist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we dive into these drummers as individuals though, let’s recap some keywords and what it means to be a Taurus in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Keywords to Remember:<\/em><\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Materialistic, Persistent, Stable, Secure, Sensual, Stubborn, and Trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

With these keywords in mind, it’s time to get into our Taurus drummers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Larkin 4-24-1967 (Godsmack)<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I chose this Loudwire video<\/a> that highlights Shannon Larkin’s beautiful Taurean qualities for a couple of reasons; the first one being, he has an Astrology tattoo on his neck! The part of the body ruled by Taurus is the neck; so, it’s only fitting that although he is full of tattoos, he was scared to get a tat on his neck. Within this video, he also mentions the occult symbolism of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water within this tattoo. And you know we love to hear about that in the astrological world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the mention of his side project and neck tat led me down another musical rabbit hole. For those of you that are interested in more from Shannon Larkin; check out his side project: The Apocalypse Blues Revival<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second reason I chose this video was his comment \u201cI’m covered in pentacles and pentagrams.\u201d Pentacles represent Earth in the Tarot, and Taurus is the first Earth sign of the zodiac. He then goes on to mention his collection of occult things, and I love this because Taurus is known to be materialistic. Materialistic may sound like a bad word, but I\u2019m learning it\u2019s actually a great thing to respect your items, because they all carry their own unique energies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now on to the drumming. I usually give a quick recap for these videos and don’t expect you to watch every one of them; however, this drum battle video<\/a> is a requirement… because it’s awesome! You have to watch it. I promise if you love drum battles, you will love this Godsmack, Taurus and Aquarius drum battle. Sully Erna (the one drumming with his hands at the beginning of this video), is not only a great singer, but also an amazing drummer and percussionist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taurus + Aquarius<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Plus Sully is an Aquarius, so with this video we get to see a physical representation of the fixed tension\/battle\/squaring energy that Aquarius and Taurus have with each other. Squares in Astrology represent tension, but they are not all bad though. Squares can actually be quite beautiful if we just step aside and let their differences shine. While the Aquarius gets flashy and eccentric, the Taurus holds a steady rhythm. And we get to listen to a bomb, heavy, metal, drum battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
