The Rock Star Drum Warm-Up

[@daniel_blackburn]

Can’t think of anyone else that has made warming up on a pad look this cool.

[@sticktrik]

Daniel Blackburn Check out Virgil Donati...he does it while eating an apple!!

[@mellindrums]

Check out Kai Hahto. He shows his pad warm up in one KZbin video.

[@TakoNekko]

"Steve Smith shows Rhythm magazine some chops" is killer too. I love that we have this kind of access to such phenomenal musicians like this.

[@sandyhancock5521]

Oh these young punk drummers! 😉 Awesome warm up! Very important!👍

[@robinjohnson6301]

Yeah Todd's such a badass. He really knows how to make the more technical side of drumming fun. And on top of that, he has a great sounding practice pad. I think most people really underestimate the importance of a practice pad sounding good - it really helps make this kind of stuff much more exciting and musical.

[@timsears951]

Love Todds analogies ...they fit so well in his playing ...my favorite ROCK drummer going today...just a marvelous musician...

[@jaydetta2308]

MAN!!!! I could watch you play all day and then some!!!! such talent and such a great teacher.

[@patcronin283]

Even when Todd is warming up he sounds better than most drummers do on a kit. Just incredible!

[@noworriesimfijian]

Granted it’s the rudiments of drumming, the manner in which Todd makes it seem effortless....that is musical....big ups to Drumeo and Todd Sucherman.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

I haven’t been a drummer for 30 yrs, play guitar now. Just started playing again, had no idea how much I have forgotten.

[@JulianFernandez]

Thanks for your generosity, Todd! Great stuff.

[@dwdrumz1]

Thanks for your inspiration Todd, great speed !

[@marcquenneville9556]

I love his drumming awesome drummer I used to play in a fight band and your doubles we used to call them Mama daughters this was many years ago I'm 56 now start playing and fighting at 13 but yeah there's a lot of good rudiments to be played love you music always did

[@frodowatt4272]

This guy is going to be ranked one day up with Neal Peart, John Bonham, and Keith Moon as one of the greatest drummers ever to live!!!

[@felixweber6593]

Don't forget Jeff... ;-)

[@just82much51]

He’s already there with those in the know!

[@badhabits25]

Neil Peart?

[@td-12kx53]

Buddy Rich and Todd Sucherman, My two all-time favorite drummers!

[@dashwig]

Couldn't care less about Styx, BUT whenever this guy is doing a tutorial video, I'm check it & benefiting so much from it! Such great tips and great guy!

[@fabianernestopacheco]

Sucherman podría estar entre los que son para mí los 5 mejores bateros que yo he visto en toda mi vida. Técnica total!!!!

[@mlaugh3]

Todd you are an impressive drummer. Love to watch you play.

[@jubankta1627]

Thank u Todd for this video I had not done the 3 over 3 in a while.....great as always!!

[@scottstoker3143]

Just look at that finger speed in the right hand! Good warm up routine.

[@brunomartinssantos4947]

He is crazy fast with both hands!!!

[@jedidrummerjake]

Good God! The chops, man! Fantastic!

[@just82much51]

I heard these double bass practice pads kick in and I wondered what he was using, only to find out it’s simply his shoes hitting the floor. That is absolutely incredible!!!! I don’t know any besides Todd who can do that!!!!

[@mymusic-gq9fn]

Todd makes me want to do this warm up and i don't even play drums. He inspires me to be a better person too! Thank you Drumeo👍👽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I'd like to hear him play on some heavier music but I'm sure it'll never happen. Awesome player and he seems like a cool ass dude.

[@sharethefootage1088]

Nice description of why singles and doubles next to each other never sound the same. Makes me feel better. Lol

[@lorisf3882]

Great stuff Todd thanks for sharing mate - with traditional grip, I notice that when you’re doing singles fast, it’s just with the thumb and open hand, but at the end of the clip looks like you’re adding the index finger - is that 2 ways you can develop fast singles ? Really handy to use KZbin speed playback where speed can be slowed down - Thanks again Loris

[@Malkovith2]

I like this guy

[@ufukcnar2736]

todd suchermann is the best, also that rim shot sound is so funny xD

[@mlaugh3]

very good tip on warming up. Thanks you are fantastic.

[@jeffmckibben2000]

Great job Todd smooth brother

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

Very inspirational.

[@davidnelson5474]

I HATE YOU LOL. You make it look so easy. But of course you've been playing for many years. Todd i enjoy watching your worm ups and rudiment lessons. Thanks for your videos. 🥁

[@dennism1548]

My goodness! What a master musician!

[@KRISHNA-manjhi]

Namste sir...good job..super...drum...man

[@prhmusic]

I noticed all the sticks on the couch - he didn't mention if he changes up the heaviness of his sticks during his warmup - like how a batter uses a weight in the warmup circle and then takes that off before going to the plate. Is that a recommended way of warming up?

[@newbiebass74]

prhmusic Im pretty sure he uses his Promark signatures exclusively

[@toddsucherman]

I always use the exact same sticks for everything.

[@prhmusic]

Good to know. I like the way you make the analogy to throwing a ball. In another video, you talked about how your motion is like shooting pool. Both analogies have been my focus when I practice on my Yamaha electronic kit. Which leads to another question. You have impeccable meter. Do you do any warmups with a metronome?

[@dwaynefernandes27]

The Legend!!!

[@benpieler3329]

Dude that is crazy!

[@scottlincoln8344]

What kind of practice pad are you playing?

[@joakimfranne8056]

It's actually a snare drum I think!

[@cambrowndrums]

Joakim Fränne if you think that’s a snare I would quit drumming right now

[@Klaus312]

Something like a snare with a mesh head

[@cambrowndrums]

Its an actual practice snare but it's not an actual snare ill tell you that

[@joz9667]

@@cambrowndrums he is using a snare drum and instead of a normal head its a mesh head. its easy as that

[@grueurgrue2108]

I want that practice pad.

[@vaibhavvivek]

Didn’t realise the new name of the channel is todd-eo if you know what I mean

[@astraldoom9824]

Certainly milking the Todd stuff. That’s alright tho! It’s good stuff drumeo

[@maturanjohnmartinowenb7998]

Astral Doom exactly what i was thinking

[@batwithglasses]

Not milking Todd at all...there are few people on this planet that are amazing players as well as amazing teachers..they hit the motherload with Todd..since Drumeo is all about teaching and inspiring, They are doing both in spades with Todd.

[@astraldoom9824]

Ya I’m not saying it’s bad, there’s just a lot of videos with him in it lately

[@jaydetta2308]

@@astraldoom9824 NAMM and promoting his master class is what i think is going on.

[@49russman]

They could post a new Todd video every day and I’d be fine with it. Love the guy’s playing, and love his ability to communicate clearly and concisely.

[@shivaumesh1129]

Fantastic!!!!

[@jazzyboy7784]

They say that nerds rule the world now a days...well Todd is a drum nerd...and he definitely rules the drum world...

[@Mike_Isakov]

nice video

[@gsmith207]

Holy beeeeeeep.... Wow

[@paullaird9950]

Are those bandaids on his fingers? Is that typical? Can anyone tell what that mesh pad is? He just slap a special head on a regular snare body?

[@paulkennedy4920]

His technique is beyond reproach.

Thank you sir

Why are your fingers and thumbs taped? Is it protecting your hands or as a result of injuries?

[@Mr26091997]

Goood he is better with one practice pad than i will ever be with a whole drumset O_O

[@markmitchell4451]

What kind of pad is that?

[@markmahoney5630]

SICK singles

[@benedict3178]

what happened with his fingers

[@a_georgevich]

He tapes them before a gig.

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

Showing warm up not technique.

[@Alejandro-lv6wd]

It is the technique that was always used in Jazz. It is the best way to get speed. The great legends learned from Jazz. Saludos de Argentina

[@RoudrasishSrimani]

I like how he talks

[@jwebby85]

The man shows that warming up does not have to be some complicated thing that takes 4 hours to do. If it takes you longer than 10-20 minutes to get warmed up, you’re doing something wrong.

[@A.S.G.17]

If you are helping the viewers learn something, you MUST do it slowly to help follow. This is mere showing off. Thats it!!

[@thomasgeyer165]

I think this video serves more as a inspiration to practice more - at least that's what it does for me

[@toddsucherman]

Singles and doubles. Play them slowly. Build up speed! There you go. dude! :)

[@paulkennedy4920]

Ya know, you can slow the video down to half speed instead of criticizing a master drummer who's trying to help you.

[@funkdrummer]

I will somewhat agree that it’s a show off, BUT he is showing how he warms up HIS chops. 95% of people watching this are nowhere near his chops. The ideas he is sharing are standard and should be approached with YOUR chops in mind. He’s the tip of the point, so to speak, in the drumming world. It makes sense that what he is doing sounds like showing off to you. I’m not suggesting that I’m anywhere near his skill level, but I apply the same concepts when I warm up.

[@pongop2179]

More female drummers please!

[@hugostos09]

I'm sorry, but these rudiments are not clean at all. Precision is better than speed and you know that, of course. It doesn't matter if it's a warm up and it's only a quick demo, we all have to play the cleanest possible.

[@JC-sj2pd]

And who do you play with?
