Todd Sucherman- "Message" by Finally George from "Icy Skies" 2021

"Message" is a track by Finally George from the Icy Skies record that came out in 2021. I play on both of his records available at the link. This is the actual recording session for the drum track on "Message."

Excellent ! When i saw this room, with all the gear ! I dream !

[@ericcarr3042]

It’s so hard to stay focused and not do your own thing.. so many times through this jam I would have done something different.. but Todd is the pro here.. awesome tune!!

[@drums333]

Best drummer going today. If he was a rapper, he'd be "Groove Master Flex" 😁🥁

[@billyharris7536]

QUALITY !! Thanks Todd

[@gailseno]

Brilliant! And a fantastic record too!

[@2009captainpaul]

Awesome as usual. Even Todd’s stick retrieval at 2:15 from side stick to match grip is slicker than a slick thing. P.S… I still want that gorgeous Pearl Masters kit when you’ve had enough of it 😊

🎉 grande 🎉

I love how you serve the song and give the other instruments their own space.

[@jazzyboy7784]

The Mighty Todd...nails it again.

[@Boomer04151961]

Another brilliant track of creativity Todd!! Loved the way you kept 1&3 going with your left index finger on your stick during the long break!!

[@rick3747]

Tasty. Todd, thank you sir. 😊

[@cirestamey9243]

Crisp perfection.

[@fphlflash]

LOVE this album!!!

[@philliptrammell6206]

That was very tastefully done.

[@groovewithpassiondrumlesso2348]

Great job of playing for the song Todd! I love how you play with power when needed and you play with a light touch. Very well done.

[@leroyeadon378]

My favorite drummer. Never get tired of watching your videos Todd.

[@keithmcdonald2571]

I could watch you play all day.

[@technoalah]

Amazing.

[@thomaswilliams8487]

Thank you so much for sharing your craft. Never gets old watching and learning from you

[@RobFerrellDrumStudio]

Inspirational as always! Thanks so much for sharing! 💪🥁🔥

[@pauloppold3468]

Thanks for the post Todd! The Icy Skies & Life is a Killer albums are both amazing. If it weren't for your posts I never would've discovered Finally George or Alta Forma...so thanks for that!

[@toddsucherman]

Glad you dig those records-- thanks!

[@mr_wessumz]

It is SUCH a joy getting to watch you play. Thank you for constantly putting out videos!

[@Texasboots]

Absolutely amazing Todd!

[@rob4870]

Excellent as always Todd! Thanks for sharing.

[@Twopupdaddy]

What a performance! I love your melodic use of the toms. And I laughed when I noticed that you and I have the same Slingerland shirt. My wife found it and had the seller place her birth year, mine, and our child's as the badge's serial number.

[@toddsucherman]

All three of my T-shirts are the serial numbers on my father's 1969 Slingerlands which was my first kit.

[@mr.d7429]

Todd is a great fit for playing with Finally George! Todd, I would love to see you playing “She” from the Life is a Killer album!

[@toddsucherman]

I wish I had recorded those sessions!

[@mr.d7429]

@@toddsuchermanthat’s no problem, thank you for the inspiration! 🤘🏾

[@tmappe]

Really amazing - hearing a lot of Rush and Porcupine Tree in this track

[@sevensilverflowers]

No click? Just listening and playing. Righteous.

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

This song is Pink Floyd meets Rush's 'Signals' album. Neat.

[@pinobenatti956]

👏👏👍👍

[@cartelesargentinos]

Alex Lifeson , Geddy Lee & Todd Sucherman!!! The next

[@tonyramos966]

Were you thinking Neil Peart when you approached this song...... I got a Neil vibe when watching you. Fantastic job 👍 😊

[@toddsucherman]

No, sorry. More like Copleland/Brzezicki/Katche. But I don't think of other players when I play....just a flavor really.

[@RojoDelChocolate]

it must be hell figuring out which snare is buzzing in that room

[@toddsucherman]

Total silence....a thin paper towel is between the snares and bottom heads on all the snares.

[@RojoDelChocolate]

@@toddsucherman I should have known you would have it sorted lol. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work.

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

OK, I need to ask - what is that thing that looks like a collapsing World Series trophy on that white table beside the 18 inch floor tom?

[@toddsucherman]

It's a Waterphone.

[@samuelepoletti5553]

Todd how can you record in this room without getting any resonance from all that drum kits around?

[@toddsucherman]

Because they act like a wood wall-- like wood walls in recording studios. The don't ring at all. They act like wood cylinders.
