First saw (and heard of) him in 1996 when he first started with Styx! Was amazed at his playing, and knew that he would be one to follow. Over the years, YT videos, and the odd release with him, then when the DRUMEO stuff started clicking, I watched a lot of his videos. Great technique, great player, and just love hearing him. Went to see Styx last month, mainly to see him live again, and was blown away! For the budding drummers out there... FOLLOW THIS GUY, YOU WILL LEARN!!!
Another great video, Modern Drummer. Todd Sucherman makes those Pearl drums sound like thunder! Again, I hope to see a tour kit rundown from Kelly Keagy, Tommy Aldrige, Rick Allen and Deen Castronovo. Thank you, Todd Sucherman for the drum cam, wish more drummers did this!
I have seen Todd Sucherman (Styx) in concert more than once and the performance is real. They give 110% performance and love to the audience every night they're on stage. All are extremely talented musicians, and Sucherman is like a machine on those drums. I'm a drummer, nothing compared to Todd Sucherman, but I have played drums and seeing Todd Sucherman play is an honor. He is a master on the drums and I very much appreciate him as an artist/musician. Thank you, Todd Sucherman!
Saw Todd before the show in my hometown Really nice guy and was very knowledgeable when asked some questions! I have always loved Styx since I grew up in the eighties!
Of course hes talking about the drum waiter thing can hold your watch as hes wearing an AP Royal Oak lol! Also his HH Sessions Ride is a voodoo magic cymbal. Everything he says about it it spot on and the 20 years or so they apparently worked on it was worth it.
I have been a professional acoustic drummer for many moons and I never dampen any of my drums so they can naturally resonate for as long as possible. 😊
Todd has become my favorite drummer over the years my cousin went to Burklee School Of Music with him.Over the years he has progressed into with Styx the most amazing sound and drummer. He mixes what was there and then blows them out of the water with his ingredients he adds to the recipe phenomenal!!
10 years ago, I wouldn't have been couldn't been caught DEAD playing 15" hats, or even 14" for that matter, I was all about the 13" hats. Then as I got a little older, and my taste changed, 15" is my go-to size now. I don't even own a pair of 13" anymore.
i love Todd's playing! He takes what could be seen as a "legacy" band gig and doesn't coast. I won't show shade as a generation X kid myself. My favorite older 90's bands are doing the same touring circuits. But you know where I'm going, some of these younger guys take gig with these older legendary bands. But the bands basically do a greatest hits set and the drummer just does cheesy classic rock power moves and straight ahead timekeeping. And it can make the music boring. Todd keeps Styx fresh with killer chops that are exciting without being too flashy, but not cheesy. He drives the band and gives them energy. A drummer on a drum forum once posted he was was very disappointed in the drummer of a long touring "legacy" older band he went to go see. He felt the older band members looked tired and unenergetic, ran though their old hits like they had a million times before, and the newer younger drummer kept everything sounding stale and boring. When he did try to add excitement it came in the form of of those cheesy predictable rock drum licks I mentioned before. "Triplet stick twirl!" The poor guy felt like the band almost needed to retire! (I won't name the band out of respect.) But Todd always keeps it new, fresh, inspired and fun. He keeps Styx from sounding tired and boring, which is a sad thing older bands that have been touring for fifty years or so can sound like. He gets it and respects Styx's legacy, but also does his thing and has fun and we love him for that.
yeah, I don't get his mix. Such awesome drums and mics, but his overheads have the most nasty mids boosted and his shells have no attack left. No mids, nothing. To get audix mics, to sound that weird you gotta EQ the hell out of them. Imo they sound better with no processing at all. But he plays great, so what do I know :D
@@Lumerdrums да, его микс отличается от многих других , которые я слышал. Но думаю, что в зал идет совсем другой звук, и там все в порядке. Возможно это сделано для лучшей фокусировки на игре барабанщика.
He's an incredible drummer but he is severely OVERPLAYING here.........WAY too busy ........compared to the original drumming which was FINE .....STYX doesnt need Vinnie Colaiuta fills

Clearly one of the greatest drummers of my lifetime. He always amazes me. In a world without Neil Peart, thank God there is a Todd Sucherman.
Well said, sir!!!
Very well said! And underrated IMO as well.
Todd is Always in my Top 10!! Killer Cat!!
The Rolls Royce of drum kits. Love Todd’s playing, thanks for this.
His first drumeo solo is my favourite drum solo of all time. Mind blowing stuff.
Always comes across as a nice dude and what a great player he is. Great kit as well 👍🏻
The confidence in his playing is mesmerizing, seriously one of the best to ever do it!!
Two decades of playing the same songs 200 times a year takes you to a whole other level
Marvelous drummer. Marvelous kit.
❤❤❤TODD IS SO EXPRESSIVE AND ENTERTAINING TO WATCH

Excellent drummer and incredible moves.
Thank you, Todd, David and Modern Drummer. Really enjoying these videos. 👍🏼
Thanks for the video. Todd is a great drummer. One of the all time best! Styx is lucky to have him.
A shout out to your drum crew 👍.
Absolutely amazing drummer! With killer taste! You rock!
What a set of drums
That ride cymbal is fantastic.
I Just Love the Sound and Finish of these Pearl Masterworks Drum's. Pearl The Best Reason To Play Drum's.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you so much
What an amazing drummer! One of the best!
Beautiful kit and huge Drummer

Love Todd and the band!!!
Snare and toms are incredibly sick sounding!!!
Entire set sounds incredible!
Such a huge fan! His drums have so much tone and body.
I need to go back to some Ambassador drum heads. Wow!
Wonderful and musical playing !!
Great video!
absolutely beautiful .........💛
This makes me happy. Here we go!!
Im so glad I saw styx. They were sensational and Todd is a phenomenal drummer.
Sick!!! Todd is one of the best in the world currently playing imo. 🥁🔥
Killer! Great job Todd!
Amazing
Drums for an amazing drummer!!
All hail the great and powerful drum tech, MARK PETROCELLI!

Total badass ❤❤❤❤❤
My wife doesn’t call him “Superman” for nothing. He’s a monster behind the kit. What a superb musician.
Love the Sonor Signature HH Clutch!
I have been a professional acoustic drummer for many moons and I never dampen any of my drums so they can naturally resonate for as long as possible. 😊
I like Todd! Maple drum sticks and no electronics.
Haven't been here this early since the last tour kit rundown. YuUuuUUurrRr
Yessssss fucking finalllyyy God I love Todd
Todd "THE MACHINE" Sucherman

He mixes what was there and then blows them out of the water with his ingredients he adds to the recipe phenomenal!!
If you can. You should do a video with Eloy Casagrande from slipknot and do a rundown of his drum kit for the next video
With that camerA, I thought they were on a cruise ship 😅
I've seen it on Todd's channel, but that is a beautiful setup.
You guys need to talk about those cymbal stand mic clamps that he uses. Where can we get some of those?
Killer!
Machine
Он заслужил золотые барабаны , без сомнения ! )
Curious to know what that Korg T3 is doing to the left of the kit?
10 years ago, I wouldn't have been couldn't been caught DEAD playing 15" hats, or even 14" for that matter, I was all about the 13" hats. Then as I got a little older, and my taste changed, 15" is my go-to size now. I don't even own a pair of 13" anymore.
I don't understand the clutch on 7:10 , anyone has any idea what that is, how it works?
💛🖤💛

Bless David's heart. Someone should tell him about proprioception.
He forgot to mention his little 2" cymbal or his tambos, and chimes
Great sounding drums, I have to know, is a click being used? Doesn’t sound like it, because it feels so good
Looks like the black cams on the bd pedals, and are the baseplate hinges modified? (Bd and hi hat pedal)
Is the 6" Tom actually custom made for Todd? (the size in general)
Covered everything in a orderly manner, let this be the blueprint going forward.
❤
Was really hoping this would be in 4K (2160p), but we only got HD (1080p). 🤔
Not a criticism, but his voice sounds off from what I'm used to. Legendary drummer!
I LIKE WHEN DAVE INST IN THE VIDEOS MORE
I wish Pearl would make a gong drum with more of an extended collar.
Oooohhhhh yyyyyyeah
What was the name brand of that stick holder and drum waiter?
Artisan Customs
He’s up there with Rikki Rocket
please do mike portnoys new dream theater kit !!🎉
Met Todd at an airport in New York. Him and the guitar played were hitching a ride home. Didn't know who the guitarist was until Todd showed up lol.
I want your job David....lol.
So real
That snare head sounds barely finger tight, like it’s holding on for dear life.😂
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Is that Todd's practice room or a drum shop? lol
How such an amazing drummer can play fantastic drums with the worst sounding cymbals I'll never understand
его всё устраивает

Stop doing these awkward rundowns where he's looming over their backs...Todd...you're a hero of mine...no one likes a lurker. hahah
Expected some humour that Todd usually delivers...nothing happened
He's an incredible drummer but he is severely OVERPLAYING here.........WAY too busy ........compared to the original drumming which was FINE .....STYX doesnt need Vinnie Colaiuta fills
Nope. Not enough cymbals, imo. More cymbals, please.
Please modern drummer, stop sending this dude to interview the drummers, he is so intrusive
😲☝️
