Saw Todd at a drum clinic in Boston. This guy is an absolutely phenomenal drummer. Can't wait to hear his solo album.
Another great interview, thanks Pete and to your guest Todd Sucherman. Love Styx, the guy is a superb drummer. Can't wait for the new Styx album.
Being a very bad amateurish drummer myself I always loved his playing and style. Great guy.
OMG, Todd, what a classy interview and yes, I'm one that bought your CD! Well done, and you are right, you leave us feeling like we're a part of your family known as Styx. I've done the meet and greet, and I had so much fun with you guys! Classy guys, classy band and all around just wonderful human beings to be even near to.
It's great to hear all the real nitty gritty of the music and touring world.
Great interview, just wish you would have asked him about the late John Panozzo and what it's been like for Todd putting his spin on the classic songs - because they are both very good drummers but their style of play is fairly different. All in all, Todd's done a nice job and I appreciate him as John's successor.
Todd Sucherman has said that in many interviews. In his latest interview, he discussed that. I'll put that link in your comment section

Exceptional post!
Absolutely stellar group of drummer interviews.
Love Todd’s stuff
He’s fantastic.
Digging this, Pete
Thanks 🙏 🥁🎶🤘
ENJOYED THE INTERVIEW. THANKS !
What a great interview. 100% agree with you on wooden nickel songs. So much there that is so good and underrated. Man of miracles, A song for Suzanne, rock n roll feeling, movement of the common man; earl of roseland; and then post wooden nickel songs such as ballerina, born for adventure and shooz. I love it all but as I age I like listening to the hard prog songs. My favorite band easily.
Are you kidding me? My favourite drummer on my favourite youtube channel?! Thx Pete and Todd!! 🙏🏼
Todd is one my favourite drummers, a drummer myself, although he uses traditional grip mostly. And he is great at teaching and giving tips. Hope he visits Europe for some clinics in the future.
Just an incredible musician and person. 😎🤟🥁. Saw Styx's opening night of Summer 2022 tour in GR. Phenomenal show!!
Somehow i missed this back then, watching it a year later.
Great interview, great drummer, great guy.
Too bad we hardly get to see Styx
in Europe...still a bucketlist thingie.
Greetingz from the Netherlands.
I fell in love with Todd's playing back in 96/97 when I first saw him in Styx....
Monster galore
just bought Last Flight Home! cant wait for it to arrive!!!
'Brave New World' is the only album own on CD of the more recent Styx albums, need the other albums 'Cyclorama' and 'The Mission'. Great interview, underrated drummer.
pick up one of the first 4 on wooden nickel !
The Mission is excellent! I misplaced Cyclorama and that's good too. Will find it and excited to listen to it again.
Love Brave New World and the mission...cyclorama not so much.
Awesome drummer. Watched him on 1996 Return To Paradise 📀 DVD
Wow, I did my one hour stationary bike training session last night to that video. The band sounding superb!
@@martykott450 I love that concert DVD
The Mission is easily one of my favorite Styx albums and it's one of really 3 that I still come back to today. The other two being Pieces of Eight and Grand Illusion. Every track is awesome and it feels like a real progression for the band. Red Storm, Locomotive, Mission to Mars, Hundred Million Miles From Home, The Outpost, Khedive, it's just hit after hit! I hope the new one is a worthy follow up, very happy to hear that it leans in that progressive direction, as those tend to be my favorite songs from the band.
There isn't a bad song on this CD! I ordered another one as I know I'm going to play the one I got when they had a special promotion ($86.00 I beiieve) to death. LOL I was smart and ordered two special promotions with COTC.
The Mission isn’t even in the conversation with any Styx album after Equinox. If for some strange reason you’re totally into that record that’s great.
Awesome Pete, love Styx and can’t wait for their new album
I agree with Todd . Styx cover of "The Walrus" is entirely kick ass ! I've always loved Styx, they're such a great band . Very cool interview Pete . Thank you so much for doing this guys, it really made my day 👍👍😉
You keep getting so many amazing guests!! Todd is one of the best living drummers currently hands down
Great interview Pete! I am a drummer (as many years as Todd, but not even on the same planet skill wise) and Todd is one of my favorites. He’s a great ambassador of the drums and just a down to earth guy that loves what he’s doing and speaks passionately about it. I also loved your interview with Carmine Appice...so I guess I am saying more drummers, please :)
Thank you Pete!
Great interview Pete. I've been a fan of Todds for a long time. He is an absolute monster player. One of the best i've ever seen and i've seen a ton.
Great interview Pete! Todd’s an amazing drummer🤘🏼Very underrated too compared to other drummers.
Another great show!
awesome video! really good questions Pete! i've been listening to styx my entire life. there is not another person on the planet I would rather see drumming in that band than Todd. incredible drummer. Todd is on the extremely short list of dream drummers I would love to start a band with!!!!!!
Pete this was an absolute excellent interview. Thank you Todd and Pete !!
Just found your channel relatively recently but I'm really liking it! Been a Styx fan since 1977 and it's so great to see you talk about and appreciate them.
Thanks again Pete for another great interview. You can never interview too many drummers!
great interview, thanks Pete (and Todd).
good to hear a new Styx record is in the works
I've only been following Todd for about a million years, so I don't really know much about the dude. One of the best drummers to ever grace a kit. The guy can play anything including fusion, jazz and jazz-fusion. Rock is a walk in the par for this cat. I buy any album with his name on it.
What a great interview, especially in a time when I need music!!! I've seen Styx more times than I can count on my hands-always amazing!!! Would love to see more interviews like this!! Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
Todd is the type of guy I would like to write songs with
Great talk!
Pete great interview with Todd
It’s amazing that you get to speak with these well known musicians
Keep up the good work
Maybe during another interview you can have some of the SOT fans ask an artist questions
🎸🎸🎸
Great interview!! Just finished listening to Todd's album, man, it merits repeated spins while enjoying a bottle of wine. The song "I Can't Use Them Anymore" is a truly beautiful piece of music and the lyrics are very deep. Good stuff!!!
I saw that 1997 tour because Pat Benatar opened. But i walked away impressed by Styx's show. They had lasers and the whole nine yards. They sounded great too.
They've had some great concerts in the years afterwards too...
what a great guest !! thank you pete !
Great Band .! ....
Cheers Pete and Todd.fantabulous drummer,and person.Love seeing you guys chat Happy holidays.Stay happy,2020 is almost over!😀❤❤❤
Great Interview! Todd is awesome!
Great drummer and seems like a class act. I would love to see one more show with Dennis, but I have to respect JY and Tommy. I am in the never say never camp!!
This is a wonderful interview!! Great questions 👊
This guy is AWESOME drummer.🥁🥁🥁
Great interview and great drummer. !!!
Good interview. Styx is great. Great musicians.
on his first tour with STYX Todd also endorsed Sonor Drums dont know for how long but he did
Todd's gotta listen to the debut. The drums on that album sound fantastic.
Great interview, Pete. I'm not the biggest Styx fan but I definitely enjoy some of their stuff. And some band members could learn a thing or two from Todd. I'm not going to mention any names but you know who you are! And no I'm not talking about any former or current members of Styx. I've never met any of those guys. I'm just acknowledging what Todd is saying because I have met band members that just don't have the time of day for you and/or have a piss off attitude and they can't even say hi. Thankfully there has only been a handful of those occasions for me.
And yeah, I get that everyone has bad days so I'm not even including one time meetings. I'm talking about where I've met band members more than once and they were just crappy to me and/or my friends at shows. I never really took it personally though because you never know what issues someone is going through. But it does kind of bother you when it's like that every time you meet them. But whatever.
Anyway, sorry for the long ass rant! It was cool to hear from Todd and it was nice to hear his perspective on so many things. He's definitely a guy to have a beer with. Thanks, Pete.
i’ll have to check out his solo record
Another great interview!
That dude is an awesome drummer!!! I kinda wanna check out his playing on the more recent Styx albums. Without Dennis De Young in the band I’m wondering if it would be almost prog metal and would be heavier sounding.
You asked him the two questions I’ve always wanted to ask him: what his experience was like working with Styx with Dennis DeYoung, and is he familiar with the Wooden Nickel albums.... UGH!!! Todd!!! You MUST go listen to The Serpent is Rising!!!!!
I love Styx I was lucky to see Styx ( Dennis de Young) in Lewiston Idaho while I was visiting my family. They did great Albums until Pieces of eight. In Germany you only hear Boat on the River in Radio, we don't have a free Radio Landscape like you in the US.
You should have Todd on to talk about the drummers that drummed on all those classic albums, get into the analysis. I think that'd be pretty cool. I love hearing him talk drums.
And to remember the lyrics of I am the Walrus is tough enough!😀
Very interesting and entertaining interview. I saw Styx with Bad Company in 2001. Two guys in front me were arguing about who is the better band Styx or Bad Company. I said Styx of course lol
I saw them on that tour as well. One of my favorite concerts. Of course Bad Company is my 3rd favorite band...
they’re playing on my birthday this summer but sadly i’ll be recovering from surgery 😢
Great interview.
Wow Rob Halford and now Todd....way to go Pete....love Priest and Styx.
Todd is so underrated.. great interview Pete can u do a Clash ranking the album with Marty.. They are almost in the same nitch as the Police..
Not a fan, sorry.
@@seaoftranquilityprog okay 👌
did I hear that right? 17 tracks in 3 days??? damn
Love these interviews Pete, thank you!!!
Wow, Pete, after Rob Halford and Styx, I'm wondering who's next on your guest list? I know it's a touchy subject but thanks for asking about Dennis (like Halford with KK), even after seeing or reading so many interviews through the years and that infamous Behind The Music show, this was the first time I ever heard about some of the "other" issues like the Chicago/L.A. commute. It's usually all about "Babe" and "Kilroy." Another great interview!
Loved The Big Bang Theory, even though it's an album of covers it's one of my favourite Styx records
Excuse the French.....this guy is a drum behemoth of monumental fucking proportions....Amaaaaaaazzzzzzing
Such a lyrical drummer
Looking forward to a new Styx album as the Mission was about as good an album a fan could wish for.
Ever Heard of the Great Band Crack The Sky? They covered I Am The Walrus.
Seems like a nice guy and I’m sure a very talented drummer. But for me the classic line up is Styx, Todd plays in the Tommy Shaw and James Young band it’s not Styx. I wish him luck with his solo project and I’ll stick with my memories of seeing the classic lineup in the front row at the Philadelphia Spectrum at the height of their fame with April Wine opening an unforgettable night.
I didn't know about the solo album. Went to his website clicked on the link paid with Paypal easy peasy
interesting 👍🇨🇦
the Mission was a great album
I love Todd and am a great fan of his drumming and everything, but he definitely needs a better internet connection :D
and please don't take this as a negative comment, great show altogether :) Pete, love the stuff you do.
Cyclorama is insanely good. What a shame it didn’t get the promotion it deserved. That said, cream eventually rises to the top.
should hit the other end of the spectrum and get an afternoon chat with Dennis DeYoung guaranteed to be laughing up a storm...
Todd just came into his own quite well as a member.
A good 190 Styx shows.....and quite a baby boom!!
Apparently Jack De Johnette is a big fan of Styx.
Sucherman? Hes jewish!?
I don't believe he is a drummer or even likes drumming!!! Let me see proof!!!!!
There's plenty of videos of his playing on TH-cam...
