Not only does it look incredible, it sounds incredible! Love pearl drums!!

[@jimfuller5309]

Very cool Todd. They are beyond beautiful..and you get to play them!! I was at that show at Chastain and then in September. Met you at the Ken Stanton music store when you held the masterclass there. I've said it before but I'll say it again, your such an inspiration to all us drummers!! Thank you for sharing this!

[@rlrrll2003]

I was at the concert in Atlanta. It was amazing as always. Thank you for all you do, from your Drumeo masterworks class which I subscribe to, to putting on clinics (which i attended last year and had the pleasure of meeting you), and just being accessible across various media sources.

[@toddsucherman]

Thanks!

[@rickdeckard9810]

It even has hardware for the mics... damn that's nice.

[@just82much51]

Those custom mic stands blew me away!! WOW!!

[@johncargell8879]

Absolutely GORGEOUS kit !!! I KNOW they sound as amazing as they look !! Enjoy, Todd !! 🎼🎶🥁🎵👊😎

[@josephhavalotti997]

Best looking pearl kit I ever seen 😎😎

[@MW-pv7rm]

Most gorgeous drum set I’ve ever seen and Todd is so deserving of it.

[@ronjon5386]

One of the best sounding kits I have ever listen to live. It sounds incredible. The main reason I use Audix mics is because of Todd’s sound.

[@m118lr]

Wow. JUST nice. REAL nice. Hard to compare this kit with my OLD Tama 6 pc w/Zildjians....even though it was top-of-the-line back in the 80’s. Now it’s my daughters/grandkids !

[@DrDr-pg5br]

Fun watching you grow over the years. Fantastic kit, like an expensive piece of jewelry.

[@just82much51]

Being an old Ludwig guy, I just switched to Pearl. My main acoustic kit is now a Pearl Crystal Beat (Ruby Red) with 8, 10, 12, & 13 on a PDP Rack, 16 floor tom and 22 bass with Pearl Demonator double bass pedals. I know your video is two years old at this point, I guess I’m just late to the party. My wife and I saw you with STYX last summer in Youngstown. An absolute INCREDIBLE show, easily top 3 for me all time having been a concert goer since ‘83. Thanks for being so accessible and using social media to connect with fans and sharing your talent, technique and love for all things drums! God bless Todd!!!

[@stevenausten9935]

Probably the most beautiful drum kit I have ever seen, a work of art for a great artist 👍👍

[@DavidOakesMusic]

" Todd do you ever play with brushes ? " " No I Play with Styx "

[@steveparmley]

Now THAT'S funny!🤣

[@ryanwilson5936]

Great stuff Todd! I’ve been a guitar player for 2 decades and I finally got around to getting my own kit. Nothing fancy but it’s mine. You’ve been one of my greatest influences in my drumming journey. I don’t get to play as often as I’d like, but when I do, I try to remember what I’ve watched of you. Excellent playing, man!

[@arjanvanderslikke2126]

Great mics on a great kit. I Love the low-end of the D4 and D6 audix mics.

[@thebiglebowski9849]

Absoutly Gorgeous Sound. I am in love

[@mlaugh3]

Todd that is so so nice. I love it! It would be an honor to play that set.

[@bamahi7142]

The honor only will cost you about $12,000.00

[@rob4870]

Thanks for the tour! The kit is amazing!

[@fireyourrocketts]

Beautiful kit! Thank you for the tour. What in ears monitors you use, if you do not mind me asking? I have Weston ES60 6 drives in each, ear custom molded, and they were expensive but I wonder what the real pros use ..thanks!

[@wilkinsnl]

Like a high end luxury vehicle. Simply breathtaking

[@iantaylor8018]

That looks and sounds incredible!

[@co6919]

Unbelievable kit! It’s only right that such a phenomenal drummer like Todd gets to play such a beauty of a kit...😎

[@Customwinder1]

Hi Todd That kit is awesome. The rack setup forthe cymbals and mics is equally impressive. Nice work mate. Look forward to many years of you playing her too. 👍

[@stewieuk1276]

That is a gorgeous set of drums and hardware!

[@Shimes]

Todd .. this kits is so you. Very classy and the sound is amazing. I've always enjoyed your stroke efficiency. .. congrats on the beautiful workspace.

[@drumlover1687]

That's one beautiful drum set for one beautiful drummer!

[@mihaidrums5]

Beautiful drum kit, cymbals, rack and of course beautiful drummer!

[@gabrielfloresdrums]

Man, That's a monster..I'm jealous 😆 Thanks for sharing..btw, i love the stick bucket..Awesome 👍👍👍

[@jcdrums2798]

a beautiful kit...you are very lucky todd....its a dream kit

[@christiancea6]

Beautiful drums!! All your videos are great and amazing insight of all your performances. Thanks Todd!!

[@BigBaller-he1dz]

Damn that is one badass kit, I would love to sit behind that

[@papapoodo6685]

Nice to see someone special playing something besides DW! Gorgeous kit!

[@stevehaupt62]

Do I hear a hint of Steve Smith's solo circa 1981 toward the end of your demonstration?

[@grobles1]

Steve Haupt yes

[@FusionHowie]

I thought I was the only one to catch that! I hate to say this but Todds version of Steve was cleaner than Steve Smith himself ! A whole lot more punch !

[@lgzildjian]

Is Todd now the "evolution" of Steve Smith?!? Both amazing drummers with tremendous sense of feel and pocket/groove playing.

[@kevinmorrison1553]

I like the 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”. I play a single 10 up top, but would like a 6” or 8” too. I fight for every 1/4”. Nice! Thx!

[@johnniesmith3041]

Best Pearl kit I ever did see.. Wow!!

[@patjenningsdrums]

Love the finish Todd!

[@iloveNgany]

Even the stick bucket is a work of art

[@sylvester3068]

"MASTERPIECE" OF "MASTERWORKS"

[@mike605]

what a Beautiful Drum Kit.

[@Coylee91]

I like that you've chosen the studio recipe shell but have 60 degree bearing edges, triple flange hoops and golden ratio air vents, Pearl are great for their range of options, particularly for one of the big manufacturers. Usually, short of going to a small, custom builder, you don't often see that many options you can tailor to your own taste.

[@ericdimeglio1795]

Todd... One of best drumers alive... Monster....

[@shivaumesh1129]

Awesome drum set!!!! I saw that STYX are coming to Fresno this July. I want to come see you all perform so I can personally see this drum set!!!!

[@Philtoid]

This is a masterpiece

[@KimNabi_cat]

It's not ostentatious at all! Awesome kit, awesome drumming and most important of all, awesome person!

[@apieceofdirt4681]

I don’t see how he can hit that 6" tom with his left hand without the hi-hat getting in the way. A beautiful set of drums that isn’t DW!

[@danieljordison0793]

Specially when he uses traditional grip, seems it would be even harder to hit

[@frankburdodrums8984]

I'm sure once in a while he does. Same with the cymbal on the left sometimes you hit the hi hat on the way up and if you hurt your hand you don't do it again for a while.

[@danielefalchetti1732]

High technology, exceptional kit ,all in all capital of blessed money who can have it all.

[@frankburdodrums8984]

It would be like Christmas morning to unbox, put together, set up, tune, and then play and make adjustments for months, just to get everything just right. Then do whatever necessary to make sure it's setup the same everytime it had to be taken apart and moved.

[@Adriano4135]

Excelente, Todd Sucherman!! Melhor afinação dessa bateria. Dá para diferenciar exatamente como são os timbres de todos os tons, surdos, caixa, bumbos. Muito obrigado. Fiquei maravilhado com o som dessa bateria.

[@TomCawoski]

Awesome looking kit Todd!!! Got to hear them live sometime, I'm sure the video doesn't do them justice...

[@RonaldParraguez]

amazing.... where do you get the toms and bass drum mic clamps ? And the mic adapter for cymbal nuts ? ... i'll really preciate. Thanks todd for sharing...

[@andrealaghi7239]

Uno dei migliori batteristi al mondo

[@JeromeDayUniverse]

This is absolutely beautiful Todd! I love all of the details with the stick bucket etc... You should live it up with your logo, good for you Sir, I can relate... I turn 50 on June 10th ;-)

[@toddsucherman]

Happy birthday!

[@JeromeDayUniverse]

[@Minimoog.....]

Stunning kit..

What a beauty . I ' m in love

Beautiful kit

[@tictocbang7443]

Amazing kit...and a nice AP!

[@ericksoto6958]

One of the Best!

[@bobc.5698]

If you weren't playing for Styx what would your drum set look like. I have 3 toms and 4 cymbals and 1 bass pedal. (working on the bonham foot triplets). Its awesome you can play all that and make it sound good.

[@fubar1217]

Beautiful kit!

[@warrenoids]

That Sabian collection is ultra.

[@stevee5044]

absolute master of drums

[@ricardogonhin]

Would anyone happen to know how Todd got the overhead mics mounted onto his cymbal stands? I've been looking for something like this for a long while now, and other than some Gibraltar adapters (which I'm unsure of their durability), I haven't found much else. And of course, needless to say this is an incredible drum set (and rack), as are all of his other Masterworks kits!

[@mjm5081]

Awesome!...Just awesome!...PEARL ❤

[@haejoon2007]

That kit is sick

[@dbsendyd]

Beautiful drum set!

[@drumandfly6138]

14/16/18/Gong! Just awesome. They sounded great at Stamford!

[@doublea7054]

Sounds incredible

[@jamesfranklin8269]

WOW Mr Todd this is amazing beautiful sir nice 😍❤️ pearl the best reason why we play Drums 💪 🥁 yes sir

[@jamesfranklin8269]

I like the old stand by masterworks maple and mahogany Kit's but would rather have straight premium Birch on smaller rack Tom's like 6" 8" and custom 9" Tom's as you well know that pearl youse to have 9" Tom's and 15" floor Tom's on there coustom z Kit's now I guess it would be like a special order for these spesific sizes now

[@victorneckar7743]

Love it, 🤘❤️🤘❤️, keep rocking it Todd

[@danmaltby3271]

drummer for spinal tap, talk about mudflaps my girls got them, Beautiful kit Todd, I like the little side amenities like the wood stick holder pretty sweet that It height adjusts , I like the chair to get the little place for your tailbone

[@terryreilley]

Great kit, as usual. I was at the concert this past weekend and was slightly disappointed with the audio. It was difficult to hear the drums as compared to Alpharetta last year. It seemed pretty flat compared to other shows I’ve attended at Chastain but I’m thinking it being a Sunday night, the noise ordinance hours may be a tad different. Damn homeowners. Really? A jacket in that heat? Stylish to the end!

[@toddsucherman]

That's because that place sucks hard....there's an 86 (I think) decibel limit. A friggin' lawnmower is louder than that! Alpharetta is a different animal altogether---that's a normal place.

[@bobc.5698]

I bought a brick of your stick a couple years ago. I number them on the bottom too. Sorry, I have moved on to vic firth X55B. I'm 50 years old too and going through my Bonham phase.....lol.

[@groucho0506]

Hell...If I had a drum kit like that I could hang with the best too! Just kidding...Awesome Todd!

[@willrockdesigns]

God damn that sounds good. One day I'll get a Maple/Gum set!

[@joao_apolinario]

WOOOOWW... AAA-MMA-ZINNG!

Absolutamente incrível !!!!

[@BIGHEARTM1967]

Awesome kit

[@MrBostonrobb]

Stunning!

[@OkieMikester]

Outstanding!

[@davepeal]

Todd, what did you use to attach those mic Clips to the cymbal stands?

[@ddrums001]

Great tour! Talk about drum porn! And I love the Rack Tom/floor Tom/Gong drum configuration, from 6-12 Rack Toms to 14-18 floor toms complete with a 20 in. Gong drum! Such symmetry! LOVE this kit!

[@ryanlawrence8305]

Best of the best right here!! Hate to see how much all that cost!! I say about 40g

[@97VobraOwner]

Did he say 60 degree bearing edge?

[@ZelenskyIsAFed]

How the heck are you able to play that 8" Tom with the hi-hat over-hanging without any fear of left hand sticking!?!

[@markrushton1516]

I've seen prob as good but not better. Love the small touches like the stick box. You have 10 yrs to plan for the 60th kit. Is that a Piguet Royal Oak watch?

[@5ke14nim441]

maybe I'm dumb, but how do you convert 2030 stands to mic stands? what adapter size is needed?

[@alexmafra4465]

Fantastic kit!!! Congratulatons but, I had prefer his another kit with all hardware - every stands also - gold. Those kit "all gold" was very beautiful! One question: what you did with those kit???

[@toddsucherman]

That's the studio kit at home...they made me just one like that.

[@alexmafra4465]

@@toddsucherman uuuuooooollllll!!!! I don't believe that, GREAT, FANTASTIC, ESPETACULAR, FAMOUS, drummer "talked with me": very, very, very thank for your videos and for your "class" when play it!!! I love to watch those videos at studio home also!!! Congratulatons for all!!!

[@giroxdrums3320]

This is LOVE!

[@yourdrummer2034]

Beautiful

[@chrislabre3680]

Pearl is awesome. I have 3 Pearl Kits. All I have ever played. But wish it didn't take 6 to 8 months to get a custom kit or even an add on drum. A 14x14 for my masters maple complete took 8 months. But they did make me a custom gong drum and it only took 6 months for that. What can ya do. Pearl are amazing drums.

[@drummeralbertrivera9577]

Patrick Sheeley OK, fanboy.

[@brianb572]

Todd....here's my request of you. Drumming aside, I can't help but notice your incredible watch collection. You seem to be wearing an AP today. Would you make a video discussing your love for watches and where that interest/passion started? Thanks in advance!

[@toddsucherman]

Thanks, but I kind of like keeping that sort of private. Understated if you will. But thanks!

[@brianb572]

Todd Sucherman I totally understand, Todd. Thanks for taking the time to personally reply. Keep up the great videos and I look forward to seeing you the next time you swing through Cleveland.

[@toddsucherman]

@@brianb572 Cheers!

total monster drummer top level like Robert sweet AVH and peter Criss

[@johndhalgren9804]

60 degree bearing edges...was that something you requested or is that standard?

[@toddsucherman]

It's an option they have---they have several cuts available.
