Shawn also plays guitar. He was playing guitar during MEGADETH's "Blackmail The Universe Tour" in Kawasaki, Japan (April 3, 2005). Shawn and his brother Glen Drover switched instruments playing "Paranoid" and the second half of "Peace Sells". Glen sat at the drums, and Shawn played the guitar.
During Gigantour show in Toronto, Canada (September 3, 2005) Shawn became the third MEGADETH guitarist on stage during "Peace Sells" while Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater played the drums. Shawn also did one solo of the song.
Shawn Drover is was by TAMA drums, Sabian cymbals, and Vic Firth Sticks. The "MegaKit" used on the more recent tours (2004-2006) was manufactured by Ferguson Fabrication out of Tempe AZ. The structure was revised and redesigned making the cage lighter and easier to assemble. When Dave Mustaine switched to Dean guitars Shawn switch to DDrum drums. They are both owned by Armadillo Enterprises so the payout was the rumor of the switch.
