You can tell that Todd is a schooled drummer/musician. He deserves all the success that he acquired.

[@ShetlandTec]

God...this guy has to be the MOST versatile drummer i've ever seen so far! He even dominates the double pedal, jazz and metal fills! You're my favorite Todd!

[@davidheadley98]

" Good-morning dear...A little coffee first, then I'm going to tastefully master every style of drum set percussion known to humanity. Have fun at the mall..."-Todd Sucherman

[@ThomasMetal75]

I cannot believe Todd is playing metal starting @11:05. I always knew Todd was a special player, but this is incredible and unbelievable. Nice to see him play some heavy music!

[@oldbandguy]

This is the drummer they'll be talking about 50 years from now as the best of his era. Can't wait to see the entire DVD. Great job Hudson Music.

[@Mboy311]

Literally, this man redefines what a drummer is. Just bought the DVD!!! Can't wait to get it!!!

[@RacManRhythm]

I'd agree totally with that, one monster of a drummer, his main set-up looks fantastic.

[@evenfall28]

I personally think this guy would have been a better fit for Dream Theater than Mangini. Just watching these clips, I am blown away by his technique. Damn he's good!!

[@jeffyneedsanap]

This guy is truly incredible.

[@sylvester19592011]

This drummer is amazing and it shows his dedication to his craft. It inspires me to continue playing even though I work full time. Well done.

[@mikeycon10]

What an incredible drummer!! Is there anything he can't do!!??Amazing chops and great groove too!!

[@crazydrumma]

What a player! I own M&M I and I just finished watching it. My mind is blown! Will definitely pick up II!

[@drumsanddrumming]

I love the way he`s got the snare high up!

[@DREWSKIBOY1]

I've never seen control on THIS LEVEL with traditional grip. His left hand is incredible. But this guy is the sickest.

[@phrosda]

Seriously would love to spend a day with him and just drum battle with him. He's so far out of my league that I would be sure to learn a ton from him!

[@larrytate1657]

How bout just a lesson? Gonna be hard to pick anything up if he blazes.

[@yamahabeat]

This man is a phenomenal drummer. Much respect. Would love to work with him at some point in my life.

[@carlos80739]

this guy is just awesome on drums!!!! really love that snare!!

[@miguelsaavedrums]

My favorite drummer of all time

[@ChipRitter]

Go Todd! that's wicked! Can't wait to buy this!

[@NouveauNick]

Wow - I think I stole like 200 licks from 14 minutes of playing - Todd is AWESOME!!

[@mylongladden9698]

Bought both dvd's. great stuff, worth every penny.

[@thefrayedwire]

I met him at PASIC '12. Amazing player, amazing person.

[@FlaviioBoy]

I like Todd because he is very versatile! He starts on fusion,jazz then plays rock, metal. Very cool!

[@recoveredaccountrecovereda7141]

I like the way Todd thinks about orchestration and rhythm. It's a real common sense approach regardless of the complexity of the figure.

[@jmetalskinz]

such a fantastic drummer!

[@LiquidXiron]

While this guy exists... I'm not drumming anymore. Todd is amazing.

[@oceanopty]

Fantastic drummer!

[@nwousee]

ゴールドとブラウンのドラムセットが素敵ですね 演奏もいろいろな音楽性が詰まっていて、かっこいい

[@Felipeelmaraja]

Awesome!!!!! he´s a great inspiration

[@ChrisHunterSavesTheDay]

I'd like this NOW, please! Forget having to wait!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Reminds me a lot of Frank Briggs. His pocket is amazing...the technique and chops never get in the way of the pulse and groove...Todd GETS IT...he's first a musician then a drummer. Huge priority position. This guy can play in any band and make it sing...TOTO to Dream Theater to AC/DC to Journey to Holdsworth to Taylor Swift to USC Marching Band to.... and he lets us know he is human w/t CHEESY background green screen that did not work.

[@danlc95]

Jeff Porcaro Groove - He does remind me of Frank!!! I never made the connection.....

[@cyberbri6899]

Yes, crazy thing is, is he can play in any band and use his techniques and it works better than the original drummer. He is crazy, scary good!!

[@MsDiRyan]

He is amazing!

[@leogoldfarbmusic]

Amazing musician!

[@Thelearner1000]

Great Player!! Chops are incredible!

[@TheFacelessTwo]

He's Todd Sucherman by day, and IRON MAN BY NIGHT!

[@DrummerZful]

thanks todd for being my inspiration, i will keep on practicing until we are at the same level

[@thekentuckyslurpcrew1242]

Amazing chops

[@marceloichimura]

My favorite drummer of all time. Todd loves Sonor drums so bad that even his Pearl kits look like Sonor's. =)

[@NikosVafeidis]

i love everything in this room!!!!!

[@THEEBlackAnime]

Solid and clean. Dopeness!

[@jaumepp1975]

an absolute beast

[@timbales11]

great playing!!

[@HallowsRequiem]

Thank you sir!

[@btsdrummer1]

I agree with your comment and a GREAT list of talent you mentioned there. Nice to see you mentioned Gary Novak. Also, can't leave out Gadd when talking about the hands :)

[@Krisspy85]

Awesome! this guy graduated from my high school!

[@kchez5586]

Jeez, about the only things we didn't see were blast beats and a one drop - wonder why they left them out of the trailer, because you know he'd crush them as well! Bravo!

[@MrDrums76]

so melodic and tasteful.

[@bakerfam1000]

thank you so much!

[@snowboardinpassout]

Wow. Bloody.. wow! Mind-blowing. All the best with Zaza. Enjoy. Awesome...

[@DeadtreeFilms1]

THIS MAN IS A BEAST

[@btsdrummer1]

You sir, are a lucky man!

[@kevinwarrendrums]

I LOVE THE OUTDOOR SHOTS BY THE CREEK

[@kenshikeys]

Perfect descriptioon!!!

[@cscrignaro]

soooo many drums in that room shot and Audix mics!

[@JazzyJonas]

Todd is a certifiable monster.

[@TheVampirujo]

IM GONNA BUY THIS METHOD

[@speedracer101]

Damn this guy can make a drum set talk....and in long clear sentences!

[@sergiotorrensmusic]

Nice kit!

[@FeEmFoco_]

Parabens muito bom ! Quando vem ao Brasil ! Abrs

[@danielsili]

Stop criticising the video... it is in good quality reganding audio and video. The material is very nice, the scenes outside are beautifull. Stop comparing, be open minded always.

[@justinhauckdrums]

The first 3 seconds made me want this video.....So i watched the rest...Now I would go to any type of extent to get this in my hands!!!!!!!!!!! UUUGHGHGU

[@OTHERlbird44]

great drummer!

[@Moog168]

Remember in the first Method and Mechanics DVD the house he was playing in was a friend of his....Maybe he couldn't get his friend's house for a certain reason hence why they're using the green screen for the outdoor effects. The EPIC drum room is Todd's though.

[@Escape1988]

Todd. A trillion to one.

[@Guilherme709B13]

Veryyy Gooooooooooodddd!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JRTaylorMusic]

@vocoder83 The song at 5:10 is called "Going On 17" by Jerry Goodman but you can't find this exact version anywhere other than on the M&M2 DVD :))

[@brywool]

Todd is the sh*t! love this guy's drumming

[@Joe_Ramos_]

This man makes me want to get on the pad. Soooo clean!

[@sdale84]

Sabian 22" Precision Ride w/Brilliant Finish. You can verify this info here on YT where Todd goes thru his whole kit. I think it's under interview 3. I agree, great sounding ride!

[@drumsanddrumming]

he is very good, and pretty low key. I like that

[@joshjamesuk]

That such a nice kit to look at! Bit like gavin harrisons set up.

[@LewyStix]

"Gotta Love It!!!" :))

[@2005arturik]

Тодд - настоящий профессор! - академик!

[@warportnoy8]

versatilidad.... eso es escencial en un buen musico...

[@ddrums001]

To say that Todd Sucherman is an incredible, baddass, Beast of a drummer is an understatement! Now if you excuse me I’m gonna work on my paradiddles and six stroke rolls because after seeing this I really suck at it!!😖😩😢

[@zvensabri2533]

Wow Todd.

[@The17Rudeboy]

TOOD-YOU ARE AWESOME DUDE!!! JIMI G.

[@MrAvengedDrummer]

Vic's Drum Shop :)

[@rgalvezmusic24]

that bass drum!!!

[@dudewuttheheck]

the kit is his Pearl Masterworks kit and the snare in most of the video is his Pete Stanbridge snare.

[@ariffk]

I didn't even notice all those drum kits in the background!!!

[@brainyman1]

@Pajor93 Todd mentioned that it's an "incidental film piece" - not sure of the film or song? But yeah, that rocks!

[@vocoder83]

@JRTaylorMusic THNKS THNKS THNKS!!!!

[@Kelavmeister]

@marralis Those custom snares he is using are Stanbridge, not Dunnett... Common mistake :P

[@CANIMALEDETTI]

He did a very great work for 3.20 song

[@DonCYHaute]

I think I may have a new favourite drummer...

[@Moog168]

@FurlanPaolo Thats actually a song by Todd's Wife, Taylor Mills :) it should be on her new Album

[@hd_thumper]

I would love to see a Todd Sucherman, Danny Carey drum battle, just because of their different playing styles.

[@louiemalvessi]

What's that snare he is using on the Stewart Copeland-like bit? Please someone tell me. It sounds amazing. Is it a 400? Something like it?

[@Taikomaniac]

Sucherman is a cross between Smith and Colaiuta one of my personal favorite players

[@FCAPO93]

wow!!

[@ibbumpn]

Good lord... what a monster.

[@DANISH114]

Holy Shit, this guy is GOOD!!

[@TheWarwick5]

@MLplayer78 if you're referring to the ride used for the big kit

[@jona4151]

10:37 love the alu bell

[@Kelavmeister]

I dont think it's a sound that you could find elsewhere but his DVD. It was music he did session recording on for a film that was never used...

[@boneyardcircus]

@boneyardcircus thanks! cause i can see what looks like wooden rims..but a standard steel hoops on top.

[@btsdrummer1]

Sweetness.......

[@Taikomaniac]

He was offering his Sonor designers up for grabs on the Sonor blogs

[@Kelavmeister]

@Moog168 I feel like a lot of this DVD will be shots of him on tour and stuff, so it was just easier to record everything at his home studio... He should have been able to find room in that studio to set it up I'd think!
