Todd Sucherman- Stewart Copeland inspired solo improvisation from a live stream documentary 2021

[@-TAA-]

Touch of reggae, a dash of punk and a zest of jazz; the perfect Stewart Copeland cocktail!

[@codersexpo1580]

Don't forget the hang over in the morning. What I mean by that is, like Bonham there are moments of sheer bombastic bursts "like pushing the drums down the stairs". This didn't have that but it served its purpose. As always Todds playing is VERY special indeed.

[@matthewimi]

Chresus jist! The control. You got to listen to it with some headphones on or something in order to catch all of the nuances. What a drummer

[@crazywisdom2]

I could listen to THIS man ........ for hours. Just doing what a true Master does. This IS a true artist. Thank you for blessing us with your GOD given talent !

[@kchez5586]

I love his use of open space, so musical and refreshing in the world of cramming as many notes as possible into the bar.

[@homerinchinatown2]

I was going to make a similar comment. Nice to have style and groove instead of speed and speed.

[@lhprimate69]

This is not a drummer. This is an Artist of Rhythm.

[@Mattshank-uo6jl]

Todd is such s superlative player. Sweet kit! Love the gold colored rims.

[@jaakkot9661]

Those hihat tremolos sound so slick and perfect. Musicality at it's best!

[@pdxdrumtech]

Aaaaahhhhh...I love this so much! Being a lifelong fan of the wonderful SC and still marveling at his contributions to everything from improvisational jazz and rock to formal ballet and orchestral works, this is such a fitting tribute to his very distinct and signature style. Well done, Todd!

[@drumtimer]

So very articulate, so clean, so crisp, a combination of a great drummer with a great sounding drum set. A a master of percussions. I love the sound of the high hat, the Tom's tuned high and choice of Cymbals. Superb taste on this cover. I can learn a lot! Thank you Todd!

[@markhindman9005]

Thanks for posting and keep them coming.

[@henrylondon6308]

Love all the creative ideas, sounds great!

[@JorgeZapata-yi2hb]

Todd, you never seize to amaze me with your incredible talent, musicality, touch, and feel! Your ability to express musical ideas so effortlessly is such an inspiration to me as a drummer! I want to play like you someday!!

[@hines1165]

Excellent, brother - so articulate. Very cool.

[@johnhickman106]

Excellent video Todd. Bravo

2 minutes and 39 seconds of percussive bliss!!!

[@logankirby8105]

Just made my day 👍

[@papapoodo6685]

Amazing!!

[@yatshadowz1635]

Amazing drummer greeting drummer and big regards 🙏🙏👍😀

[@AN-te4ij]

Thank you Todd

[@DarkBasementDrummer]

Super tasty! Todd’s work is awesome.

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

That was sick!!!

[@123-o2e]

Thank you! Inspiration going back drumset. ❤

[@LorenScott69]

I love the reverb on the snare and the "simulated" echoes of the rim shots. Verrrrrrrry Copeland-esque. Sweet.

[@monicahouston6438]

❤ This is really cool! I like the detail of it, hearing every single sound clearly

[@HermesTrismegistes369]

Doing like 4-5 notes really fast with right hand on the hats! He’s got that “push pull” technique down! And tasty is his middle name 🤙

[@seanmullins7568]

BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL...

[@yarpyarp85]

good god you are masterful, thanks for this.

[@SparePhone-x2r]

Nice Todd So versatile 😊

[@MrCaveman8]

Awesomeness Todd... Also you seem to tune your kit like myself, love the openess and tone, and the snare not being so high and tight sounding, plus I can hear the bottom head tonality very nice! Been at it for over 35 years myself, not professionally but own mostly professional drums, with many snare drums! Love drumming, soothes my soul...

[@btairborne71]

Nice work Todd!!

[@krenwregget7667]

If you told me that was a Copeland solo, I'd have no problem believing it. So tasty.

[@doctortubes1]

Beautiful !

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Very nice. I've always thought that "Tea in the Sahara" really highlighted Stewart Copeland's skillset even if it (along with some of the other lesser known songs from "Synchronicity") doesn't get much attention. Nicely done!

[@toddsucherman]

Thanks!

[@jamescaliendo1030]

Ahhh this is just plain sexy as all get out!!! Loved this Todd!

[@williambeatty7781]

The Stewart Copeland influences were readily apparent. Nice job 👍

[@douglassultz321]

Awesome drummer.

[@holeesheet2021]

I'm speechless

[@timsabepieczynski7051]

Awesome job

[@nickdenardo6479]

i think i own one of the same snares as Mr Todd!

[@stanleynich]

Take a little Walk on the moon

[@RogerBiwandu]

Nice Todd I've heard "Tea In Sahara" and "Bed Too Big Without You", well, I definitively heard Stew's drumming style in your solo, point reached in the best way possible.

[@toddsucherman]

Thanks, Roger!

[@Senortiger]

"Todd the GOD! :)

[@Rythym4god]

What’s the key to sounding like SC? Slinky but solid groove and pocket. Todd, you nailed it!

[@jcdrums2798]

Master pièce

[@faustozarcodrums]

- Todd, how many snares do you have? - Yes

[@williamfotiou7577]

This is what you should do when you want to be alone with yourself. 🥁🥁🥁🙏🙏🙏

[@wannabeadrummer]

That Control😮

[@markusthedrummer8143]

Great performance. Interesting that in the video description Todd suggests that he’s using the same Pearl snare drum that Stewart did. I’ve never heard Stewart talk about using a Pearl brand drum, only Tama. As a matter of fact in his latest book, Stewart Copeland Police Diaries, he swears he had one Tama snare drum for 10 years. I’ve never seen a pearl drum in a photograph withStewart, only the amazingly reliable vintage, Tama snare. I think someone got their story wrong . Tama and Paiste snob here .

[@toddsucherman]

Pearl. Do the history search.....

[@gadymarcus2362]

Bello/Magnifico.💘✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

[@amlbproductionsmusicandorc8084]

Tasty!

[@2009captainpaul]

The inner turmoil Todd must have knowing that every time he gets behind a drum kit, he's going to produce something magical with pin-point accuracy thats surely going to make the rest of us mere mortals feel inadequate. Very tasty indeed Todd, as usual. P.S I'm still awaiting the delivery of that beautiful Pearl Masterworks kit I keep begging for. I'm not going to ask again mate. Bahhh, who am I kidding, I'm going to keep begging for it until I take my last breathe 😃

[@toddsucherman]

Thank you!

[@humble_ape]

Wow! I could really hear the Copeland influence in this, super cool. Is it just me, or were the swung 8th notes a little slow? The hi hat buzz strokes were awesome though!

[@misterfunnybones]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude 👍🎶🎵

[@christiangutierez9531]

Are those all your drums? If so that’s ridiculously awesome 😎

[@donovanjones4175]

Todd, how do you choose which snare you use with dinner? Is it like choosing red or white wine with rock or jazz?

[@8oclocktomatotalk]

The greats can use a sledgehammer or the tiniest of chisels 🙂

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👌

[@bomkfort9428]

Snare tone and pitch is fantastic. Is your snare bottom head table top tight ? Is that a COB snare ?

[@toddsucherman]

Yes...snare spec in description.

[@jimhunt4425]

If todd dropped his cutlery drawer on the floor it would sound amazing

[@markvaldez4926]

Noice 😎

[@Dilliology]

Wish I could come see you here in indy but I got surprised with a cancer diagnosis and I can't make it. Hope the show goes great!

[@jazzyboy7784]

Wishing you the best...

[@toddsucherman]

Wishing you healthy days ahead,

[@chezchezchezchez]

Sounds like walking on the moon

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

Fuck. Can anyone tell me what beat this is so I can play it and experiment?

[@aviatorbja]

I feel bad that his snare drum collection is so tiny

[@RonGalloway]

gentlemen, start your samplers......

[@JsnRsnbrg]

Siri, explain to me the difference between simple and simplistic.

[@johnbolongo9978]

Tasty.....like drinking a cold beer on a hot day with the AHH.,.........at the end.

[@deeptanktank9212]

Todd is an amazing drummer! But Copeland is uncopyable. Sure, the parts are inspired by him, but this sounds nothing like Copeland. Both are awesome though... 👍
