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.

[@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

[@passionoflovers]

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

[@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.

[@nickavenoso7851]

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

[@markabrams152]

The touch and relentlessly interesting vibe of this. Trance like

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@TJMac93]

Talk about making the drums sing! Love it!

[@fablenewsnetwork7223]

Absolutely 🥁🥁🥁

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.)

[@MrSupersav11]

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

[@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

[@hugor.2482]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@gregedenfield1080]

never get tired of watching this Gent play. BRAVO!

[@subvertedworld]

Fantastic solo. Beautiful kit! I love that color.

[@c-LAW]

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

[@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.

[@TannerCoIin]

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

[@dbg-thane5664]

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

[@hvymtldrmr8425]

That kit looks amazing

[@Dave-lr2wo]

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

[@sody2000]

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

[@daved4716]

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

[@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!

[@jasoncavitt2043]

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

[@davesiringo7147]

That wasn't a solo, it was an instrumental song. The accent phrasing with the cymbals is the best I've ever seen.

[@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... :)

[@ronosful]

Musicianship,creativity,technique,phrases ,control ,DYNAMICS ,musical form,pulse!!!!!

[@tor2112]

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

[@James-iz6uq]

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

[@NeilHollomanDrums]

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

[@anixben]

The groove that he plays at 1:56 is soooo freaking tasty. And the fact that he "resumes" it after going off for one minute at 2:57 is just the best thing ever... Loving his ride!!! Anyone know what kind of ride it is??

[@jtg2737]

UNBELIEVABLE! Also, the chick sound of the hi-hat and that China Boy placed to his left, man what amazing sounds.

[@elvinjasper516]

I would enjoy seeing Danny Carey and Todd jam together. Their abilities to navigate complex time signatures, rather effortlessly, would be a treat to enjoy!

[@ThatMeansHesMad]

Indeed. I'd love to see him work with Morgan Agren. I think both of their styles would work seamlessly together.

[@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!

[@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. 😎

[@Jondsmusic]

The flam triplet fill he does at 2:46 is ridiculous!!

[@iantouzel638]

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

[@Vesaniah4]

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

[@fuelflownormal]

Jaw just hit the floor…so musical. Drums sound wonderful.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

It's so fitting that this solo is 4:40 as it's the most musical solo...

[@rockmatt9406]

Incredible control and good taste of beat

[@1life2pono]

One of the most tasteful and creative drum solos ever.

[@smurphy8311]

Caught him at Drum City drum clinic last night where he took the same flowing concept and "arc" of rhythm for a full 25 minutes...maybe a half hour, but I got totally lost in time listening and watching intently;) Beautiful stuff.

[@jackiepeacock84]

I cant get enough of this guy

[@TONSQUAD]

This is not a drum solo, this a fine orchestrated musical piece done by the master!!!

[@BoneyWhy]

Wow! He paces himself, total control and dynamics! He's a monster and a half!

[@pmumola]

I’m completely impressed by his technical abilities, not so much his artistic ability. I will never in twenty lifetimes ever be as good as him as a drummer.... never!, but drum solos are a story with rhythmic peaks and valleys and his is a display of his amazing technical ability.

[@abbiebeast]

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

[@warpspeed9877]

Heard more ideas in this solo than most drummers have in their entire carrier...❤

[@ryandonohue152]

Who thumbs down Todd Sucherman??Must have been Weckl and Gadd.

[@bearodriguez7958]

Ryan Donohue I was wondering the same..want to believe it was a mistake 😕

[@NoahKravitz]

Weckl and Vinnie. Gadd would dig it 😝

[@lilpbass]

No, it was Thomas Lang!

[@johnlindquist1784]

More likely guitar players. They don't seem to like anything other that what they're doing.

[@DominicAirola]

john lindquist lol guitarist here

[@aniruddhgupta2597]

the consistency of those snare notes in the beginning 😭😭 I could never

[@codersexpo1580]

Todd just floors me every time I see this man play. I tried to duplicate (in my own way) what he does here. I found that doing these Flam taps is easier and closer to the sound he gets by NOT pronouncing the flam itself so distinctly. More like a double handed hit or flattened out flam ...if that makes any sense. Mix that up with triplets, drags and five stroke rolls (especially between your hands and feet like RRFFL or drag(LL)RF or RLRLLF...)...mostly I just added this for texture and excitement but getting back to those Flam taps...love it. He is just soooo good.

[@FusionHowie]

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

[@hirangabijoychakraborty6639]

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

[@mikaelj.hacken642]

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

[@passionoflovers]

This is hands down the best and most creative drum solo I've ever seen. Imagine this being the top of the line, and people are going crazy over drummers like Joey Jordison.. I mean...

[@ratmforthewin]

I've seen Todd put in some real work with the band 'Styx'. I can highly recommend checking them out! Great solo in this video as well, as expected!

[@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!

[@gregdes1385]

His stick control/chops are as good as anyone's...very nice, a pleasure to watch

[@Josh-po6oh]

one of the best drum solos i ever heard besides Neil Peart Todd your amazing awesome job

[@boychanmaibam3901]

Best musical drum solo ever, it's not a solo, an actual song. I mean best.

[@joelmccoy1989]

I could watch him all day.

[@Eviscerator]

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

[@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.

[@DBSplayers]

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

[@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

[@DriFD3S]

Todd Sucherman changed the way I think about drums. Mind blowing.

[@mle1872]

The Master at work

[@MyVoiceTMsomecallmetim]

how he keeps that snare beat switching hand to hand .... AMAZING.

[@fortressfrazze3777]

Amazing drummer and musical solos not boring.

[@benblackburn2693]

this guy is king. he's so good at what he does

[@MrCayuga]

Insanely musical! Groovy and tasty with killer fills.

[@jamescourier1545]

Oh, man! This left hand technique is just badass. Traditional grip is SO cool.

[@silverballer7342]

The sound is unique! Indian beats are there. Hats off to you Sir!

[@benoitlambert100]

This past month i have been very lucky....saw one of the best game of hockey ever !!!!! Between the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks. The one were the Oilers trailed 3 to 1 and won in overtime 4 - 3 and tonight one of the best drum solo i have ever seen and heard!!!! I am a lucky guy

[@milespenucevski2190]

My favorite drum solo of all time. So. Damn. Good.

[@StephenBarlock]

The master of Paradiddle and all of its variations. Amazing stuff.

[@esotericist9]

This is exactly what a drum solo should be: musical. So many drummers--including top-tier--go off into a flurry of fills without a coherent structure in their solos.

[@Druminator82]

Love the lick at 1:37!

[@arbitram]

For a change, watched a drum solo till the end. Control and Musicality. So awesome.

[@crushingbelial]

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

[@nicholaslynch522]

Brilliant Solo!

[@luigi6628]

drumeo, thank you for existing!

[@marioburku-drummer]

No drummer plays that tasteful his drums like Todd Sucherman, brilliant 👌👌

[@jasonglasmann3734]

Todd is so musical. What a beautiful solo... Utah Kid.......

[@axelenglish2922]

It has been said already but : really musical and tasteful! Loved it!

[@frankburdodrums8984]

This was nice. I try and play rolls like that all the time to get better and to move em around the drums but I never played it that good. However I will borrow (steal) those ideas when I do it now.
