Todd Sucherman- "Tears of Joy" HD from Methods and Mechanics (Music by Jerry Goodman)

[@tellyourstorymusicbyikson]

Major nostalgia stumbling upon this in my feed. The aesthetics really inspired me back in the day; the setting, the drumkit, the views. They did a great job with this dvd!

[@King-Gilamashur2758]

Todd is the perfect "gateway drummer" to bring rock drummers into prog and fusion

[@maniac_chamaleon]

Man! I remember being a young drummer, popping the DVD for the first time and after 30 seconds my jaw was on the floor. Still watch the DVD to this day, super inspirational stuff!

[@dallasmann7904]

Same

[@wilkinsnl]

Haha, I was just gonna say that

[@NobleNoob356]

Greatest drummer in the world. Not even close.

[@mikeygreene]

Awesome Todd awesome. You are truly one of the greats!

[@vedprakashvp4434]

💐💐💐🤝

[@aqualunga9467]

One of the best drummers I've ever heard. And I heard almost everyone.)

5:37 Channelling Phil Collins with the descending toms while still on the crash, a lick I freely use whenever the opportunity arises

[@TheMartPlante]

One of the greatest performance ever. I still remember seeing that after graduate from university... I was deeply into progressif rock and wishing to see a drummer that would combine prog and jazz... and when I found this 🔥

[@paperPluto]

How wonderfully the music here harmonizes with the landscape outside the window and the warmth of the interior. Thanks Todd.

[@brucegreg1859]

Always a pleasure to see and hear a Great Drummer with Traditional Grip! Cheers.

[@timmayclin1820]

He does both now

[@rhythmmethod4153]

Brilliant! ~

[@slumsiren]

its been over 10 years and i still cant get the sound of your snare in the fill at 4:57 out of my head.

[@estebanabdallah25]

That fill at 5:37 ... oooh my God...! beautiful!

[@bensexton254]

Todd, if that is your home, it's beautiful!

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]

“I wanna have a discussion with you above”

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Beautiful composition of master Goodman, and beautifully played by master Sucherman. And as always: fusion is the way! 👊🏻🤩

[@GregJacobs]

I couldn't agree more. And from a drummer's perspective, that kit looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Pearl should see an upward sales spike just from this video alone.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@GregJacobs Yes, I would love to have a huge high end kit like that. But with today’s prices on drums it will probably be a while 😅 His kit is probably around $20k for the drums alone, and another $10k for hardware & cymbals 😬

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@GregJacobs With that said I play a reasonably big kit myself. But an extra kick and a gong drum wouldn’t hurt ✌🏻😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKG0amiOmdaLerssi=xMj6db8P_4unVaos

[@GregJacobs]

@@flowerlandofjohn agreed, is purely wishful thinking to have a lot like that. I have airways been a fan of Pearl drums and gear, so seeing this kit got me thinking until reality ($$$$) set in.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@GregJacobs With that said I have a reasonably big (and expensive kit). But I would love to go all the way with an extra kick & a gong drum ✌🏻🤩

[@kevinkeip7150]

What a masterpiece. Amazing!!

[@mjm5081]

Just as beautiful all these years later ❤

[@oldbandguy]

Methods and Mechanics is the GOAT of drum instructional videos! I see that black hair and I realize we are all getting older...but Todd seems to still be getting BETTER. At the top of my list (a crowded list indeed) of awesome drummers. ps R&R Hall of Fame...check out a band called STYX!!!

[@DRUMMINMOFO1]

Perfection on the drum kit!

[@oldguysplaymetal5517]

What a great mastery of the kit overall. So musical and controlled but with tons of groove and nuance. He has it all

[@tylerbailey9329]

I remember getting this DVD after having seen you at AUDW in Melbourne in 2015 and I remember thinking how particularly beautiful this piece was.

[@toddsucherman]

I remember that night vividly!

[@economicwinner]

You can literally play me to sleep in a good way... Todd is the man when it comes to drumming.

[@nickhardy3911]

Such musical drumming. It's not just speed or power but controlled finesse. Such a great DVD.

[@mauriciogradim7174]

Amazing. Hello from Brazil...

“I wanna have a discussion with you above”

[@YacineDrummer]

How Can we be perfectly perfect like this ?

[@BryceChristopherHodge]

This was the song that hooked me at your 2004 Musicians Institute clinic. I was a naive young rock drummer and I had no idea the drum set could support this kind of music. My drumming world was forever changed as I delved into Return to a forever with Lenny White and, of course, Jean-Luc Ponty with Steve Smith.

[@toddsucherman]

Thanks!!

[@firepilot109]

Def one of the best drummers of our time! He just feels the music and is 1 with the drums.

[@KyleDavisMusic]

So great to have an HD upgrade of this!

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]

“I wanna have a discussion with you above”

[@larryrankine8088]

Ever since I saw this the first time it's been one of my favorites! Simply EPIC!

I used to watch it everyday. So much inspiration Mr. Sucherman

[@markthompson2112]

Incredible performance!

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]

“I wanna have a discussion with you above”

[@RustyKnorr]

Drummer ergonomics are such a trip, so infinitely varied. I have NEVER seen a drummer put their ride out in front of their toms. SO far to reach out there, but he looks comfortable. 🤯

[@robertkay9349]

Glad I read your notes on the time sig. proof enough that I’m not nuts! Not about that, anyway. Beautifully played Todd!

[@josephtucker7397]

What a pleasure to watch Todd play. Impeccable timing. Thanks for the video...

[@davidolson558]

Great stuff!🎉

[@stickboyjp]

Classic. My favorite drum DVD

[@MattHernandezDrums]

My favorite song from the dvd! What a way to start it off! I remember putting this in my portable dvd player and playing along with it all the time growing up! Thanks for the inspiration Todd!!

[@Metragnome_Images]

[@phillamoore157]

I've always been a huge Sucherman fan.....just, so much to learn from him. Although, I'm as impressed with that house as I am his playing!

[@bl00ber99]

YES, finally in HD on KZbin! 😄 Not only is the drumming and music amazing, but the scenery and cinematography is fantastic

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]

[@jdavidojeda]

Nice to have this amazing interpretation in HD. What a great song. What a great drummer. What a great music. Thanks a lot

[@mareckik]

With this song I discovered Todd years ago... you have everything what you can call incredible drumming in here. Great feel, great groove, great technic, amazing sound, incredible musicality. Just WOW...

[@gailseno]

So many musicianship lessons in this masterwork by Todd. It remains a key video for drumming education. Thank you, Todd!! Beautiful.

[@Tony-ck2ug]

Just amazing... could watch him play all day.

[@JeffDare]

This song is so beautiful, and played perfectly by you Todd!! This is one of the many reasons why you are hands down my favorite drummer. You play with such precision, power and passion, it is truly a joy to watch you perform! Cheers!

[@TaistoUuslail]

Drummers still are musicians... 😂 Todd, like your every beat. What a creativity!!!

[@tespiriquidiberto]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]

“I wanna have a discussion with you above”

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

One of my favorite drum videos. This is perfect. Todd showcasing his massive vocabulary of rudiments, stick control, independence, volume control, feel, touch, phrasing, dynamics, nuance, musicality, power and creativity. It's why he's been in my top 10 for years along with a few unknowns like Weckl, Smith, Colaiuta, Donati, Dicenso and a few other hacks nobody's heard of. 😉

[@RushianRichard]

Speechless while I'm drooling... 😶🤤🤩

[@officialmoondancer]

Todd your touch on this one is second to none bro.

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Lejen.. incredible playing..🥁👍🔥

...non ci sono parole per questo video!!! Un eterno grazie Todd.

[@JosephStockwell026]

True master at work!!!

[@christianham4062]

This man is a beast, his intensity is amazing and he uses every bit of his drum set and his dynamics are just amazing 👏 🙌

Fantastic fluidity and efficiency. Great performance.

*Mestre!* 🥁🔥

[@Sugarmike67]

All these years later and I still get goosebumps watching this performance. Met Todd at a clinic in Salem, Oregon. Super cool guy and and amazing drummer.

[@billkenny5938]

i found you on drumeo and was blown out of my socks. and i thank god for that. your drumming is so fresh, your vesitility is limitless. i appreciate you sharing your talent and grooves, ideas. god bless you brother

[@FernandoCuadro]

i love this song, it's uplifting

[@lousilva3328]

Passionately Appreciated! I hold my breath when I watch the flowing timing

[@thomasdecorail8825]

Ahhh I love this video, so glad you decided to post it nice and crisp !

[@drumswest5035]

Fantastic...

[@marco_patruno]

Alcuni nascono sotto una buona stella e brillano. Altri, come Todd, non ne hanno bisogno, perché brillano già di suo.

[@jonathanbelfiore550]

Great performance! Such a beautiful studio to record in! Always a pleasure to hear you're drumming, Todd!

[@HIFI-SUDIO_DIY]

Everything in this video is just beautiful 👍👍👍. If I would have stopped drumming, this video would make me come back to enjoying the art of drumming 🙂

Hi, Todd Thanks for uploading this video, N, Your Perfect, Skill N Performance. Fantastic. Keep it up Brother. 😊🤝🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🤝👍

[@joaorolo2371]

Mister STIX ❤Brilhant drummer

[@StefBelgium]

That s an awesome druming part and constructed with a clever mind set. I had difficulties to figure out initially the time signature but it sounds like it is in a 13/8. That s disturbing at first from a druming perspective but after listening the melody it becomes so obvious! Main reason why it is super important to listening to the melody and other instruments, especially the bass line. Todd, you rock my man! 🤟🤟

[@domenico_66]

Bellissima sessione

[@badseed5555]

I can watch this all-day!!!

[@Fodolro]

Technique, good taste, finesse….you got it all! Thanks for the inspiring video!

[@Kelavmeister]

Brings me back to watching Methods & Mechanics every day. I’d have it on after school or work, and go to bed with it on. Nearly wore out the DVDs! Thanks for uploading Todd ❤

[@gballmaier]

I would have tears of joy as well, if i could wake up to that view! EVEN MORE TEARS IF I COULD PLAY LIKE YOU:) I KNOW YOU DESERVE YOUR GIFT, CAUSE YOU WORKED FOR IT, UNFORTUNATELY, I STARTED PLAYING WAY TO LATE IN LIFE. BUT I SURE WOULD SETTLE FOR JUST SITTING DOWN WITH YOU ONE ON ONE FOR A BEER AND STORY TIME. YOU FRIGGEN ROCK!!! I had the PRIVELAGE of seeing you at the Guitar Center, in Mission Viejo, Ca. maybe about 1 year ago. love you maaaaaaaaan:)

[@Dm_Todd_Sucherman_AT_Nicegram]
