Todd Sucherman: Live at Modern Drummer 2008

[@jabezscratch]

A very good drummer. Love his style and drumset. Seen him live: excellent.

[@w9jon]

phenomenal, and that snare is to die for

[@PyjamaMusic]

That ghost note at 2:02 was just beautiful, so was the all groove .

[@Spladoinkal]

Todd Suchermann's definitely one of my favorite drummers

[@ForrestRice]

i love how this guys uses his whole kit musicaly and you can tell that he can tear up a small kit as well

[@tamaplayer22]

not only is he a great drummer but his stick control is unbelieveable!!! and he's a really cool guy too

[@marralis]

Todd is by far the most underrated drummer out there

[@PDXdrummer]

Underrated how exactly? He's in my top 10 and well known all around the world. I don't understand how people come to the conclusion that a drummer is "underrated."

[@drummer9990]

beast of a drummer

[@Spladoinkal]

excellent drummer. Got a dvd of his playing with a promark stick pack I bought one time

[@Clancedrums]

Derek Roddy, and Todd Sucherman. the earth is gonna collapse if they sat there for 30 minutes longer

[@abbiebeast]

I remember when Pieces of eight came out, as a kid he was genious to me and I was Pert fan but couldn't figure out his shit wow

[@highlightmaterial]

i l0ve y0u!!!

[@CoCkatoo33]

love that intro till 0:43

[@ThomasMetal75]

I think the metal guys (including me) actually like the playing of Todd Sucherman. Secretly, i think more metal guys than not really do prefer grooving over straight machine gun double bass all the time.

[@barad-dur9236]

WhoDarestheMAN gamer same here

[@xlyomdiv]

@DJARKITECH I believe it's the pearl reference, if you can find the interview from this performance, I'm pretty sure he mentions it.

[@bielmichelson4758]

I like his hair :)

[@HardEdge53]

Todd definitely has Steve Smith in his playing and I can't see how that can be anything but good. Todd is a brilliant drummer and is one of the reasons Styx is able to continue.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

K Edgley this guy could make anyone sound good. provided you give him a great bassist...

[@HardEdge53]

Todd is so highly accomplished that he could probably play with any act working.

[@DNixon845]

I tried dancing for the intro and broke my leg.

[@shivaumesh1129]

You definitely saw Todd at a clinic because that's exactly what Todd says about it

[@Taikomaniac]

Sucherman is such a great great player very punchy when he has to be and has expression when he plays doesent overplay has the gladstone technique down to the tee and enjoys sharing with pep with a crowd of drummers. Jojo is also a very pep and with sharing technique

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Taikomaniac drum clinics: hardest and easiest crowds to play for at the same time. Very forgiving, but if you screw up, you're better off just starting over, because they know you messed it up.

[@MrJoshJazz]

@TheAlexDDrums pearl masters or reference i think

[@abbiebeast]

SO FUCKING UNDER-RATED!!

[@mikireference]

@DJARKITECH It's Pearl Reference,exellent kit.I have one :)))

[@adamhansbrough1714]

3:10 Totally what I'm dealing with now that I've moved back home :(

[@iamcharliecooper]

noiiiice

[@abulthuis3]

Does anyone know what kind of HHX crash he's using above his ride? I'm guessing it's an 18'' HHX-X-plosion crash, but I'm not sure. There's nothing on his gear page on his website about the HHX crash. I'm currently looking for a crash myself, either an AAX or HHX-plosion, and I very much like the sound of the cymbal in this video

[@pescalante2]

does anoyone know what hi-hats he uses? I know they are HHX but what kind and size? they sound so fucking epic, they look like 14" evolutions? am I right?

[@BluesDaddy411]

Not that it's any of our business, but I just wonder how much $'s drummers like Todd, Tris Imboden (Chicago) and Deen Castronovo (Journey) pull down with these more seasoned bands.

[@edski8536]

DAT BASS DRUM!!

[@pearldrummer7217]

Edward Gore pearl.

[@joedessauer]

@DJARKITECH pearl reference/masterworks/masters dunno which lol

[@Kelavmeister]

@spacitydrummer4JC with a sprinkle of Steve Smith, don't forget! :)

[@nonhasthisusername]

noticed how he shows you the finger when playing traditional grip?

[@Getchafuck1]

ahahah so fuckin true dude...

[@Bjabja]

@sampiang Tears of Joy Jerry Goodman is the first song.

[@4everdrummin]

todd seems to be a very good person...

[@TimeNfeel91]

Song sounds like the theme to NPR.

[@XDrummerSteve]

Very, very under-rated drummer. In my opinion, another player like Steve Smith, he's not really able to show his true ability playing in Styx. This guy can bust out with the best of them.

[@SoyelBobe]

This is another reason why Steve Carrell is GOD.

[@yushululangat]

name of this song if anyones knows..

[@fletcherman1]

Jojo owns everybody FULL STOP

[@pescalante2]

can anyone tell me what sabian hats is he using in this video?

[@wowdude22]

holy ghost note batman!

[@epasurr]

What is the name of the song he's playing along to at the end of the video?

[@shivaumesh1129]

It's the song "One with Everything" by STYX from their 2003 LP "Cyclorama"

[@GeorgeBennett92]

Well, that might be simple for you Todd...

[@TheWarwick5]

Russ Singh : Styx - One With Everything

[@forzaitalia5910]

@DJARKITECH probly a pearl masters of even the reference

[@BERZITI]

Pearl Reference in granit sparkle finish .

[@TokenYeahPunGuy]

DAT SNARE

[@joedessauer]

some one tell me the time sig of the first song? i cant work t out for the life of me!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Joe Dessauer he mentioned 13/8 on the DVD, then he switched where the 6 and 7 are.

[@Spladoinkal]

my dad's not a cell phone!

[@SharkyJaws12]

THIS IS TRAVIS BARKER

[@paintballwiz1983]

his he the drummer for styx

[@TheAlexDDrums]

what make of drums are these?

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I have this on DVD. Were there no women featured or did just none of them "make it" to the video? I mean, the girl playing with Carmine Appice basically kicked his a**...could have asked her, lol. What about Terri Lynn Carrington? Or Cindy Blackwood, is it, with Carlos Sanatana? To say someone should be included just for being female is stupid (even for me) but the video's about 5 hours long, and Carmine phoned it all in, minus the girl he only let play on a beat-up bucket. Had no one known who he was, it would have been just sad. He never should have wasted space in the DVD. Young girls might see this, and think they can't play drums, when every man knows his wife can do 5 things at once a lot more effectively than he can. It's a skill we honed so our children wouldn't get eaten by wildebeests while we made dinner. Should also be a whole special category for singing drummers/multi instrumentalists.

[@sevenman9672]

2006 or 8?

[@sevenman9672]

8 then update description

[@prognosis2112]

Robert downey jr!

[@tjdrummer13]

Fluidity....don't know if that's even a word. But its what I think when I watch him.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Toby Grylls he's got great hands, is what I say...

[@jpb318]

Those are some crappy sounding Pearls.

[@razadrum]

HuH??!!

[@jpb318]

Pearl aren't inherently bad, it's just that he's a negligible tuner.

[@49russman]

Jason Burns You've got to be trolling. Either that, or you have horrible ears/taste.
