Todd Sucherman- "Solo on a Motif" from Methods & Mechanics DVD (2008)

[@tommysonnier9848]

A most perfect drum solo you could ever hear! A great musical journey.

[@drumeshopeth]

Absolutely outstanding. Quite literally one the single most masterful solos I have ever seen or heard. I don't know what else to say. Sticking, dynamics, speed, technique, permutation, fluency... this is very high-level excellence.

[@danielepatton8480]

High level is not even close to this solo 😅 as you said ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! Thank you Todd 🙏🏻

[@jordanpene5279]

Crazy good on literally everything, dynamics, control, speed, finesse, independence, musicality.

[@douglassultz321]

Absolutely one of the best drummers.

[@carbonc6065]

~With respect, I disagree.

[@JasonLawver-sq3ce]

That Kit is absolutely stunning.

[@jazzyboy7784]

Always a pleasure to watch the Master...

[@phantumdrummer]

Every time I watch these video's I'm always left in amazement for a reason not expected. Yes, I love the drumming and Todd's superior skills, but what also leaves me impressed is the quality of Pearl. Particularly their hardware. I've trusted and loved their hardware for many many years. One thing you never see when you're looking at almost any drummer playing pearl hardware is how stable everything is. There is NO wiggle of any of the drums or cymbals. Everything is always rock solid. Then put the amazing sound, depth and feel of their drums... I will not play anything other than a pearl.

Years and years of dedication and practice!!! ❤

[@billykohler9153]

Friggin killa !!! So good. Love how you bring it full circle with the intro and outro match. Brilliant Saint Toddeth. 🥁😎

[@Kelavmeister]

Thank you thank you thank you for posting these, Todd. I watched this DVD endlessly to its death... These solos were absolutely transformative for me.

[@krenwregget7667]

some of the most musical solos out there.

[@gerardzelaya]

Love your playing!

[@3219161]

simply brilliant

[@michaelgibson1220]

Such a great feel-love it-thanks maestro

[@ZackZweifel]

the control you have is just incredible...

[@PabloJ1968]

You, Nick DiVirgilio, Gavin Harrison, Marco Minneman, Steve Smith, Thomas Lang, Georgio Borlai. Among the drum soloist I do not get bored with. Others for me that I fully enjoy: Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl.

Necessário 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@jarancarson1545]

There is a beauty to fluidity and power of his strokes that is unmatched. He’s fun to watch is wh😢I’m saying

[@barrycomer3688]

Love the snare tone ring.

[@mehkick]

Who gets credit for the drum tone? Todd's Pearl kits are consistently the best sounding drums. Live, studio, new, old, it doesn't matter.

[@taylorunis5418]

When you’re a great player it sounds good no matter what. The credit goes to Todd for sounding good…

Good lawd 😮 Looks like I’m gonna have to pull this DVD back out! 📺

[@celioferreira3893]

Excelente

[@JohnRaia-eb1mx]

Absolutely masterful. Been watching you play with Styx last 15 years. Always wished they would let you do a solo.

[@ricardomaiapereira7452]

Espetacular

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Pretty damn smooth 🔥🔥

[@1969mirko1969]

Ufff beautiful cleanliness

[@humble_ape]

So cool and impressive how he soloed over that foot ostinato! It's a subtle thing, probably imperceptible to non drummers, but wow! That's not easy!

[@afrigal2420]

love it!!

[@tttarms1970]

My drumkits are at the end of the curb if anyone wants them 😅😅

[@Vitor.Portugal]

Rhythm concepts take very amounts of layering, the afro cuban voices emerge frequently and Takeshi quite a while to master them, undoubtly Todd has the vibe and spirit to bring them from within the intricacies of the drums and drums' different organic textures. 😂

[@frolovdrums]

Amazing!!!

[@leegorman3329]

bloody nice!

[@magnogregorio2173]

Thats snares 😍😍

[@sebastianorlando7275]

top 10 mundial!!!

[@101silencio]

❤❤❤

[@visuallyimpaireddrummer]

Todd would be a great fit in Toto🥁

[@ekaweeleela4529]

Pearl masterworks drum power.

[@klank67]

Traditional grip just sounds different than matched grip ... especially when this guy plays it!!

[@nickdenardo6479]

so tasty. anyone have an idea what that stack consists of?

[@jcdrums2798]

what else ?!

[@DrumsTillDeath]

Can’t touch this

[@ericmalone3213]

When drummers develop a monomania approach to technique, they sound like a calculator doing sums.

[@asor8037]

ghost notes are a bit off
