From Todd himself:
"The main theme is based on sustaining 16ths on the snare drum while developing melody ideas on the toms. This takes the use of pataflaflas, flam taps, flam triplets and other rudiments to achieve. Then it developes and goes elsewhere but comes back to the main theme. Enjoy! (And yes, that’s a Tony Williams “Sister Cheryl” quote that bridges sections!)"

best solo I've watched on Drumeo

[@bobayersquebec]

yeah amazing solo man

[@blackism7550]

agree

[@frankburdodrums8984]

Check out the ERIC MOORE one for sure bro. You can thank me later.

[@HmsSulaco]

Dafnis prieto´s drumming is unreal..

[@jimmywaun8864]

The orchestration is RIDICULOUS.

[@passionoflovers]

Holy fuck. This is not a drum solo, it's a song in itself.. Holy hell that is impressive..

[@rosssmithe]

Todd is arguably the one of best drummers alive right now. Power, precision, versatility, and GROOVE.. he really has it all at the highest level!! 👏😎

[@drewsibleyloans]

He' agreeably the beat drummer alive too.. No argument here

[@marianamartinez3300]

I’m not sure it’s even arguable. A total stud and a total class act.

[@youngfeller5376]

He is impressive!!

[@devinaffleck8366]

Definitely a class act .

[@ARTala88]

Dont forget about the personality and finesse in his drumming

[@Dil_Moran]

Probably the most inspiring solo I've ever listened to/seen. There is not one thing id do differently, it's just so perfect. Everything about it. Dudes a legend

[@randyporter3491]

This is playing the music, not just the beat. There's always been something different about Todd's style and it's hard to describe, but he's special.

[@Mekratrig]

I'm not a musician, can't play an instrument, but still think this is fascinating. Can't even imagine the amount of time it took to be able to control each arm and foot independently of one another like this. Only wish whoever filmed this video would keep the small inset window of his feet onscreen all the time. I'm betting Todd Sucherman has to be one of the best drummers around.

[@andydrums4333]

He really is!

[@grbgeslnger24]

I’ve played drums on and off for years. There is so much room for improvement all the time. Any instrument takes time and talent. But yea it is really hard coordinating all limbs at the same time. 😆

[@progdrummermark]

Todd has some of the tastiest drumming vocabulary to choose from. Reminds me of how Benny Greb solos, and that man's drumming vocab is ridiculous!

[@nickavenoso7851]

What I’ve always loved about drummers like Todd, Neil (RIP), etc, is that their solo’s are not about showing technique, there about taking you on a musical journey. Great solo, Todd!!!

[@LukeDatema]

Unbelievable amount of control. So awesome 👌🏻

[@moritzlehner7615]

No matter which video i watch, i always see your comments😂

[@moritzlehner7615]

Can't watch a video on KZbin without stumbeling across your comment😂

[@ThatKarma]

Jacob armen is another amazing drummer that imo has the best control for independence play

[@dcaudio1]

I watch this every morning...the perfect way to start my day...this solo runs through my head all day and makes me smile. I know i can never be this good but it will fun trying.

[@sauerbone5208]

Watching this again after several months. Todd's skills are so deep and precise. Keeping the high-hat going on the upbeats while hammering out poly-rhythmic, flam-laden Tom Tom patterns with monster fills in between is master level drumming.

[@bigpopakap]

Seriously! It was an impressive drum solo even without that constant hi hat. That he kept the hi hat going flawlessly the whole time, subtly altering the pattern to match the energy, was the cherry on top. Truly amazing

[@tylerbailey9329]

So tasteful and disciplined! Had the pleasure of meeting the man two years ago at AUDW, he killed it!

[@shivtekoriginal]

Tasteful is actually the p e r f e c t word for this solo.

[@aryanoberoi7528]

This is by far my favourite solo i have heard on Drumeo

[@buddyrichable1]

Respect for Todd just went up a few notches. A solo with a theme and driving pulse that pulls you in until you’re dancing in your seat, not just a bunch of fancy licks strung together incoherently. Well done.

[@gabebabe1]

Best solo on Drumeo - musical - actually enjoyable to listen to - makes you want to dance / groove. Awesome.

[@TheSentinel909]

That no-hands cymbal choke at 02:36 :O!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

haha.. noticed that too.. so cool!

[@suburbanindie]

It's kind of a half-mute, honestly only necessary if you're in the middle of a fill. I'm a pretty average drummer and would probably have issues implementing this technique. I know my limits haha

[@Chadfleanthony]

It sounds pretty cool when you use hit it on 2 of the 4/4 half-time beat. Try hitting it with the snare as well (rim shot optional). Hit the snare again on 4 and resume the groove.

[@paulmcgreal8750]

most musical drum solo ive ever heard. keeps the listener engaged the whole time. wow

[@jerrywitaj]

Maybe the best drum solo I’ve ever heard. Musical, technical, rhythmic…it’s just perfect.

[@punacunningham9151]

Love how he solos while still keeping the groove going,and the deep tones from the beautiful sounding toms very cool.

[@TJMac93]

Talk about making the drums sing! Love it!

[@fablenewsnetwork7223]

Absolutely 🥁🥁🥁

[@jhamler1]

Quite possibly the besteset drum solo I've ever heard. Why? Because in and of itself it's a song kinda/sorta. Not to mention the sheer badassery of Todd's movements.

[@ernesteinmeister9639]

Maybe the best drummer I've ever seen in my entire life, pure technique, not a crazy machine gun. 👌👌👌👌👌

[@aakashchaturvedi6400]

This is slowly becoming one of my favorite solos of all time

[@shallowcarrot]

The resonances of a couple of the toms and the snare are the tones of a power chord, and it's so satisfying :)

[@RonHiegelsberger]

Absolutely phenomenal drummer on every level!… dynamics, power, control, chops, musicality and endurance… always a joy to watch and listen to Todd! Such a inspiration and a great guy too!! 🙏❤️

[@hugor.2482]

he has a Passion and it completely shows and Awesome to see him play!

[@shanebrown1935]

I love this drum solos because it is musical. Solos that seem to just ramble on. Like the drumer is trying to hit all the drums as fast as he can gets boring.

[@kleinefreiheit2807]

shane brown very very musical, I liked it pretty much

[@cerberusthall9151]

Seriously, when I heard him talking about how he liked his toms and cymbals to have their own notes, I couldn't believe how much sense it made. Like really selecting his crashes based on their respective pitches. Of course, it's not applicable to all genres of music, but for a solo it's exceptional.

[@WhelanDrums]

shane I'm right with you on that. He truly does tell a story and his feel and fluency is absolutely outstanding. Well said buddy 🙏

[@agupa12345]

Luke Stanley u

[@hashtag8534]

Yes! Musical! Simon Phillips and Neil Peart are also excellent soloists. A great solo is like a dialog, not just hitting everything as fast as you can.

[@sunitsikdar2153]

This is the best drum solo in the world. Short, Sweet, like a short story. Not a "look at me and my chops" solo. Watched it so many times. Never overpowering, never boring, push and pull. Just amazing.

[@donaldlovejr.4857]

more like Todd "Superman". 🎶💪

[@edithrivera9261]

Or Todd "Sugarman", cause he makes anything sound like sugar, in a good way!

[@silverstoneKOTOD]

more like odd man

[@josteinv.jordet257]

Its Odd Superman

[@davidddrums]

Seeing him on stage was a life changing experience playing with Styx

[@AlejoSunShine1111]

Finally a drum solo you can watch in full. Amazing job just so clean and smooth with great grooves and tempo. I can watch him all day

[@falkmichaelbeuzenberg4264]

'2:20' Omg Iove that beat so much!! Anyone else with me? ✌️

[@Wannalikemy]

Falk Michael Beuzenberg Immediately had my eyebrows raised from that moment on. Dude is insane.

[@FirestormAudio]

Yes!

[@tejasbalakrishna7422]

Falk Michael Beuzenberg Heard that like a 1000 times😍

[@changgames4637]

Those ghost notes are insanity.

[@hugor.2482]

he has a Passion and it completey shows and Awesome to see him play!

[@benoitlambert100]

I don't know how many times I have watched and listened this drum solo and I don't think I will ever get tired of it. So freaking good. More please Mr. Sucherman, more .

[@MrSupersav11]

Oh my god that left foot has been going on continuously throughout the whole solo... He mastered such a coordination... So inspiring

[@just82much51]

Outstanding!!!!! Todd keeps moving up my personal list of favorite drummers and this solo is one of the reasons!!!!!

[@rOy48MtL]

Excellent drum solo!!!!......... NO matter how fast is your blast beat or double bass drum, NO matter how many cowbells you have, etc etc etc, YOU play something like 2:11 and that really blows your mind....AWESOME!

[@hashtag8534]

That was insane!

[@Lycurgus1982]

Yes. He is playing a melody. Very musical.)

[@iantouzel638]

Todd is the master jedi of drummer, precision, texture, technique.

[@Music2ChillUOut]

I can watch this over and over! He's making those toms SING!!!

[@jhamler1]

The bestest thing about this solo is that it's only four minutes long. Bonham and Peart would go on and on for twenty minutes. Sucherman gets it.

[@G_marge21]

I can not describe with words how amazed and greatful i am to watch a drum solo like this one here.Mr.Tod and Drumeo thank you.

[@killboybands1]

So incredibly creative and musical. Always leaves me shaking my head.

[@VinnieTorelli]

This is one of the best solos I've seen in a long while. Crazy amount of control and independence going on

[@KitCatStudio]

TS is my new hero and mentor on KZbin. I absolutely love everything he uploads, or being invited on. So much style and chops on that guy!

[@subvertedworld]

Fantastic solo. Beautiful kit! I love that color.

[@gregedenfield1080]

never get tired of watching this Gent play. BRAVO!

[@NeilHollomanDrums]

The drum sound and mix on this absolutely insane. Todd is also equally amazing.

[@SayantanGhosalDRUMS]

So Musical ,the Drums are singing,so well orchestrated,superb technique,one of the best Drum Solos I have watched in my life ,thank you Drumeo and Mr Todd Sucherman... :)

[@Diatonic5th]

This is one of the nicest drum solos I've ever heard. Amazing!

[@mariocarreno95]

Ive watched this so many times and im always amazed. Thr control and dynamics are so impressive. Thats one of the things many drummers (not necessarily the ones they feature in drumeo, im talking in general) miss.

[@daved4716]

Another level.... tone , dynamic all the superlatives....🙏🙏🙏

[@mikaelj.hacken642]

Surely one of the best drum solos i've ever heard !!!!! LOVE IT !!!!

[@sharksdelight]

I really didn't know who Todd Sucherman was until I heard this fantastically musical solo. I have always avoided playing solos in the past on almost all gigs but I have been trying my best to copy much of this the best I can. Love it.

[@gadymarcus5297]

oh wow phenomenal sound and talent thanks, Todd Sucherman

[@sipzter]

Wow - again. I love your work - - - Your use of dynamics really enhances the musicality of your solo. Your musicality is outstanding and your chops shine through it all! Wow

[@johnokeeffe3096]

This is just wonderful. As another said, I love the musicality and patience displayed

[@abbiebeast]

One of the alltime greats - so underrated and over looked!

[@hirangabijoychakraborty6639]

Never heard so much meaningful before 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻loved it

[@jasoncavitt2043]

Best Drumeo performance in awhile. Excellent job. He has his own real thing going on here.

[@tor2112]

That is the epitome of what a drum solo should be. Incredible technique and structure which is truly musical. Absolutely inspirational!!!

[@Vesaniah4]

probably one of the most enjoying solo I've watched... Precise, kind of simple , jungle beat , dynamics. Damn that was solid.

[@c-LAW]

i love the 10 note melody Todd creates and continues through the entire song. He makes the drums sing.

[@cthumann]

One of the most under appreciated drummers ever. I’ll be seeing him for the 4th time on March 6th with one of the best live bands ever, Styx. 😎

[@andrewp.2192]

Love hearing the Tony Williams inspired grooves and licks. Sweet and smooth

[@oherrera6072]

Todds @ the top of my favorites. This solo is incomparable to anything I've ever heard.

[@peraruor]

Best drum solo I heard so far it has a theme! Is not a demonstration of drummer capacity to play but it is something you can enjoy. And that double hit of the high hat… amazing! It filled me. I was wondering how he do that? So creative!

[@Philtoid]

that was one of the best drum solos ive ever seen/heard. incredible !

[@jonathanbecker9082]

I could watch this solo over and over all day!!!!!

[@rityblackmore]

OMG this is so awesome, one of the best drum solo that I ever seen!

[@hvymtldrmr8425]

That kit looks amazing

[@mikepeterson3411]

Absolutely flawless. Your the best Todd!

[@FusionHowie]

So glad I watched it again, and again..... killer !

[@DBSplayers]

this kit sounds HUGE!!! great production by the Drumeo team as always!!

[@crushingbelial]

Just magnificent. Top notch playing, musicality, story told through drums. I am a fan.

[@gushill4236]

Absolutely brilliant and inspiring! !

[@JimmyGunXD556]

Best solo I've seen in a long time all technique into musical!!

[@whiteninja9481]

I can watch Todd play ALL DAY. Never tired of him. Hez the man! Hez like the kewlest friggin' dude. Saw him play outside with Styx and was just fifteen feet directly in front of him. Never forgot that concert. Was there to watch him play drums--the heck with the other musicians and music.

[@Psymon1471]

this is awesome! It's like a song with melodies and structures rather than all the rudiments and drums at light speed, they get dull after awhile but this stays fresh

[@gregwilkinson3558]

I needed some inspiration today. This hit the spot!!!

[@dbg-thane5664]

He told me a story with his playing!!!!

[@williambeatty7781]

What a fantastic and melodic solo !! Truly great !!!

[@cdnaudioguy]

Thank was amazing, and the recoring is SO clean!

[@MishaGDrums]

Amazing! So many great ideas, watched it 50 times already.

[@MaxHealthyLife]

really dig all your videos, Todd. A great pro who loves to share with others. Thanks brother!

[@robbywallace9402]

NASTY! I have listened to this a few times in a row now. Great solo. Very musical and enjoyable.

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Finally! A coherent solo that actually tells a story! Well done.

[@arieltege]

One of the most creative ideas for a solo! Inspiring

[@oscarleonore7159]

This mans a drummer!!!!!!! One of my favorite to watch

[@humblehombre9904]

Oh, what a smooth, groovin, swingin and deadly solo. Gets ya right where it counts. For a drummer this is like a home cooked meal.

[@Eviscerator]

Just amazing! I learn so much as I get older. This man is amongst the greats of drumming!

[@James-iz6uq]

I've been watching this video for years he's awesome

[@espenaldegarmann1178]

Been waiting for this one! Awesome!!

[@yougotgroove]

Wow! Todd your a monster....A musical monster....not just chops....and you deliver more than one knock out punch that's for sure!

[@RickWilkinsonkeysoft]

WOW! So much flavor I can taste it through my ears!!

[@jordiruiz4323]

I could spend hours watching and enjoying this drum solo, what a fantastic drummer.

[@luigi6628]

drumeo, thank you for existing!

[@sody2000]

That is a musical movement. It is an entire symphony. Wow.

[@JDarylG]

Those drums sound amazing!

[@jdvargas44]

El sonido,la intención,la técnica,lo musical,que genio. Hasta de los errores saca el mejor provecho. Gran solo.

[@mishellerauth1966]

Love how your snare is tuned! smooth solo with such a precise layering of your smaller ride. nice 👍👍

[@TheSentinel909]

Such control, and creative, measured licks. Love it1
