Getting on stage and feeling, "Alone at last." I'm a part-time musician who plays to maybe 20 people a gig a couple times a month, and I have that same feeling. It's 60 minutes of total focus and pure communication. It's active meditation. There's no feeling like it.

[@tarnet2543]

Todd is one of the reasons why I’m still playing the drums... He’s such a great inspiration to me!

[@rv_drums]

Becoming a big fan of this guy

Better late than never

Todd Sucherman, is newly one of my favorite drummers, he is mesmerizing to watch!

[@trysometenderness7466]

Most people wouldn't say this but I consider Todd the best drummer alive today. Any group would kill to have Todd.

Great interview and video , hope you'll make more like this, Awesome !!!!!!

[@Bateman61405]

Todd is an absolute beast on the drums. His drumeo lesson is my favorite.

[@Kelavmeister]

Todd was the first drum clinic I ever went to, and I had no clue who he was. Now I’m a lifelong fan, and seeing his successes throughout the decades makes me so proud! Lucky us now for what he’s doing with y’all at Drumeo. So cool!!

[@Deborahtunes]

These guys are so down to earth and just happy to still be doing what they love to do. And we are happy they continue out there touring... Blessings guys, keep rockin' out...🎶🙂🎸🥁🎹🎤

[@td-12kx53]

Such a great, great drummer. I love watching him play!

[@dgcmusi]

He’s an incredible player….his dynamics have always impressed me…

[@clintkearns3178]

I enjoy watching many drummers but Todd has changed the way I look at drums.

[@OkieMikester]

I've seen Todd and Styx twice in concert. They are outstanding!

[@fernandobertin1125]

Thanks for that gift Drumeo! Todd is the best, the master! Such a great guy!

[@stevelinwood8362]

Very Humble Man, Great Drummer, THANKS Drumeo!!!

[@brianb572]

I'm a HUGE fan of Todd's! World class musician and a wonderful human being. So happy to see him featured here.

[@MrBostonrobb]

Phenomenal drummer/musician. Seems like an even better person.

[@stevevorass]

I love this so much! Thank you Drumeo for making it.

[@oysterhead5150]

One of the best drummers around, always!

[@barrycomer169]

Drummer - hardest working member of the band.

[@BlackAdder747]

Except lars

[@vibratoryuniverse308]

Simultaneously a musician, conductor, and athlete !

[@flamecolumn]

I’ve seen Todd twice w Styx. The guy was just on fire both nights. He gives everything he’s got on every song and drives that band like a freight train.

[@chemcody5119]

Simply the best and only getting better!

[@erickenlin8255]

Todd is absolutely one of the greats. I don’t think he gets nearly enough credit. There are few who can do it all like he can.

[@rdjraa4983]

My wife and me had a meet and greet with the guys a few years ago in Peoria, Illinois. Those guys are an absolute hoot. You can tell the guys how you want them to pose for a funny photo and they'll do it. As rock stars for decades,they're not the least bit pretentious. Plus the concerts are stellar. Still got their chops. Next time they're in town we'll pay the money for another meet and greet. They're worth every penny.

[@jayh.5405]

Wow! Loved this. Rock and Roll Todd!

[@kevinleblanc47]

Wow seeing Jimmy Johnson warms my Heart, I miss him dearly

[@donalddiem308]

I saw you guys live in 2005,2011,2015,2022 and I just want to thank Styx for a lifetime of memories !!!! Todd you are the best at what you do !!!!!

[@drummerjeroensimons]

Todd is such a passionate human being, my respect!!

[@markb7067]

Good show! Great player! Rock on Todd.

[@semmel195]

Awesome! I love behind the scenes stuff like that! Please do more of this!

[@supergrovah2729]

I had no idea who Todd was 2 months ago. Got back into drumming and found Drumeo and Todd all over the place. I'm 3 years younger than Todd, and I was a pretty big STYX fan in my youth. Paradise Theater is STILL my favorite STYX album and one of my all-time favorites period. I watched "Return to Paradise" 3 or 4 months back and had no idea who Todd was but holy crap, was he on fire..... So, at the end of this video when he mentions that he's playing with a band he SAW PERFORM 3 times as a kid himself, that hit home. I'm wishing I'd gotten back into it a LOT sooner, but I am DAMN GLAD I got back into it now before it's too late to do something about it..... Great video, thanks for producing and sharing.

[@christiancea6]

LOVE IT!! Drumeo thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Such a fantastic video!! Todd is awesome

[@OfficialWildfires]

Todd is an absolute inspiration. Thank you Drumeo for this video!

[@andrewglasmacher]

Todd is the real deal - on and off stage. I appreciate him more every day. Just inspiring!

[@NeverOctober_]

What an amazing human being

[@scottboyne8305]

Such a nice genuine guy who happens to be one of the best drummers. Love the guy

[@drumsNstuff79]

I like Good very much. Monster drummer, great sense of humor, fun of great advice, and he has such a great attitude and gratitude for playing in Styx. So many older bands can be seen as going through the motions, playing their hits for the millionth time, and Styx have those hits too. But to to make it exciting and fun and fresh can be tough and Todd always brings it. Love this guy. And Styx can still rock a show. I hope my favorite bands are still playing like years from now.

[@drumsNstuff79]

*Todd.. stupid autocorrect!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I got to see Styx earlier this year. I will never forget it!!!! Todd Succhermann was just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are no words that can be explained how awesome the show was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bigstef2010]

Fantastic drummer and great guy too !!! One of my favorite drummers. True inpiration.

[@carlosclerigadrums]

Wonderful video, Todd´s attitude always inspiring!!

[@Vinc3n7]

That was pretty awesome Drumeo! Nice job!

[@MikeLumer]

I hope I get to do this once before I die. I've toured before but never with a full crew that's sets everything up and really works together with the band as a unified team. The thought of that is intoxicating!

[@joemccurdy1060]

Todd is great to learn from

[@BrandonGebbia]

It would be interesting to see Todd with another project. He is one of the best!

[@michaelpowers4956]

Amazing drummer, brings the band to a whole new level....

[@LeSensuel]

Superb documentary, I’m looking forward to more of these!

[@donaldsaunders4736]

Great drummer and a great person what more can you ask for.

[@yoavdvash4141]

He's the reason i know this band. The place I'm coming from is not that much familiar with Styx repertoire. Tod is a legend drummer!!!! 🤟

[@HAMMERFOOT1]

Awesome! So well done.. Great to see personal & inside.🥁🤘😊🙏👍

[@FanaticDrummer]

Simplified: Todd wakes up, realizes he is the master, goes back to sleep. Not today peons.

[@wadsmitter511]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Why would that ever be something you felt the need to say? Does Thomas Lang pay you?

[@cthumann]

Todd’s just awesome...on and off stage. See ya in Florida in a couple weeks.

[@jensekberg4524]

Great Video about a great - no that's an understatement - one of the absolutely top notch players there are out there. So humble, so professional. And so awesome. Been a fan for a long time and the more I see and hear from him the more convinced I become. Check out some of his stuff outside Styx - for instance Finally George (released in 2018) Just Brilliant, or the stuff he did with Jerry Goodman or Brian Wilson.

[@hepcatjazz]

check out the new BORROMEAN ODYSSEY by Antoine Fafard...unbelieveable!! www.discogs.com/artist/1990650-Antoine-Fafard

Thank you Todd! Top drummer is understated… Well played cousin🥁🥁

[@meekoloco]

Todd is one of the top players of our time. Also a heckuva cool guy. In other news, it’s great to see Paulie looking good!

[@jedidrummerjake]

What a guy! And chops beyond belief!

[@stixnfeet7818]

I've seen my share of "Tribute Bands" and many "a few original members" bands from 70's 80's but STYX, by far, is the hottest and strongest from the era gone by that I have EVER had the privilege to see and hear. And Todd REALLY sets the bar and brings it! Twice I've caught their show in recent years and bar none of all the other many shows I've seen STYX sticks out as a super strong show that I will never forget. RESPECT !

[@anthonygalbo9348]

Seen them seven times post 1999, the band has aged like a fine wine which is why they are my favorite band, Shaw has been my favorite singer songwriter guitar player as Todd has always has been my favorite drummer since 1998! They just happen to be in the same band! Haven’t you noticed Shaw started singing a lot better as soon as 1990 and beyond as soon as he Joined the Damn Yankees his voice became a B+ to an A+

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

Awesome.

[@generay6807]

Todd is such a great drummer. Seems like a down to earth guy too. He sure looks a lot like Steve Correl.

[@1life2pono]

This is what I call "Living the dream"!

[@John-zt6yw]

Hard work too

[@Joesfosterdogs]

a pro's pro...just a nice guy with otherworldly skills...dude can play a Dream Theater gig, jump into New Orleans jazz w/Galactic, then onto Weather Report, a Pepsi jingle, sub for Journey, do a drum clinic, and kiss his wife & kid...extreme talent. hope they do a few Babys tunes w Ricky Phillips! The Babys are the greatest band people forgot

[@beatsdddx]

Very kewl behind the scenes!!!

[@johannjohann6523]

POlice escort. Not too many bands get that I bet. And all for the Rock and Roll - the show must go on! Hell Yeah! Todd's kinda in the stratoshere when it comes to drumming. Alot of people overlook him, and I don't know why, he truly is one of the great drummers of all time. And sure seems to be a helluva a nice guy on top of it. Anyone that has his signature sticks with the date of his anniversary is a standout - R and R - kinda guy.

[@davenelson-xk6oc]

next to the drumming of Chester and Phil with Genesis todd is one of the best I have ever met

[@lamitchw72]

What an absolute god. I would love to spend one hour with Todd and just hear some crazy stories and laugh. I wish I could be 1/100th as good as him. Holy cow.

[@TerrilynndeGuitar]

TS is a great drummer! Tommy Shaw and JY are guitar legends too! Anyone remember the first time they heard “The Grand Illusion? “ Seeing Styx live is the business..

[@gambj]

I really really need to meet Todd one day..

[@jongallardo8006]

I met him in June at his masterclass here in Denver. He personally showed me the Tony Williams grip ( I was struggling very badly and he noticed ) He’s a stickler for the old school Method of drumming but all in all I learned so much from him 🤙 🥁

[@SKragseth]

Damn I live 5 minutes from there. When were you guys there?

[@jjclaymations8719]

One of my favs

[@johnstahrstartcleanfitwell1051]

Todd man AWSOME 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep on doing man!!!! You are & have always been such an inspiration to me!!!! Don't ever ST🛑P my brother!!!!

[@jeffother]

Super reportage les gars. Todd est vraiment top 👍

[@dedexyz8475]

I never cared for Styx that much- ever. I was more of a Kansas fan. But that changed....w/ Todd Sucherman on the skins. I think he has reinvigorated the band- made their stuff feel fresh again. He ROCKS.

[@fishanjustin10]

One of the best rock drummers! 😍

Gotta be the coolest perspective ever! Would follow TS through the Mists of Babylon… thanks for this, just awesome! (Btw, he kinda remindeds me of somebody and I think it is Michael Scott-Office, he is so funny like that character.)

[@patiencesinclair7116]

Benevolent Backpacker He says he “plays” like a man. I think it’s because he plays forcefully, which can lead to blisters.
