Best looking pearl kit I ever seen 😎😎

[@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 !

[@DavidOakesMusic]

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

[@steveparmley]

Now THAT'S funny!🤣

[@DrDr-pg5br]

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

[@rickdeckard9810]

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

[@just82much51]

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

[@illusionclassicrock6742]

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!

[@stevenausten9935]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@johncargell8879]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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. 👍

[@mihaidrums5]

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

[@Philtoid]

This is a masterpiece

[@andrealaghi7239]

Uno dei migliori batteristi al mondo

[@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!!!!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@sylvester3068]

"MASTERPIECE" OF "MASTERWORKS"

[@gabrielfloresdrums]

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

[@thebiglebowski9849]

Absoutly Gorgeous Sound. I am in love

[@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.

[@JK-zo4px]

What a beauty . I ' m in love

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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]

@@toddsucherman Thank you! :-)

[@97VobraOwner]

Did he say 60 degree bearing edge?

[@32toddv]

Love that kit

[@MrBostonrobb]

Stunning!

[@arjanvanderslikke2126]

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

[@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.

[@MW-pv7rm]

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

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I think 8 Toms is the upper maximum any kit should ever have. Because at least then it can be tuned diatonic. Why would anyone need 9 toms or more ?

[@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.

[@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!

[@iantaylor8018]

That looks and sounds incredible!

[@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.

[@rob4870]

Thanks for the tour! The kit is amazing!

[@joao_apolinario]

WOOOOWW... AAA-MMA-ZINNG!

[@willrockdesigns]

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

[@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!?!

[@KimNabi_cat]

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

[@jcdrums2798]

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

[@wilkinsnl]

Like a high end luxury vehicle. Simply breathtaking

[@co6919]

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

[@MONSTER3N3RGY474]

what is that pearl masterworks wood finish ??? Brooklyn Burst? no it isnt what is?

[@jubankta1627]

Todd Please allow me to build for you a drum rack worthy of your skill and the beautiful drums you play?!

[@lancerains4185]

It's very difficult to speak when you're drooling

[@shanemartin8904]

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

[@diogorabello]

Absolutamente incrível !!!!

[@ryanlawrence8305]

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

[@WilliamDelorenzo-y9v]

who cares about the stick bucket what size are the bass drums

[@peevee605]

That sound from the masters hands and kit though…..

[@BigBaller-he1dz]

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

[@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!!!

[@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?

[@patjenningsdrums]

Love the finish Todd!

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

That's not a drum kit. This is a drum kit!

[@5ke14nim441]

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

[@chefjimmie1]

A million dollar drum set sounds best when played on by a million dollar drummer. Oh, ...I forgot about inflation and Todd's 50 year raise. He's now a 2 million dollar drummer.

[@yvanmargineanu9807]

I want to know how much this whole set costs.

[@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...

[@AlessandroSpenga]

You should not upload pornography on YT

[@mike605]

what a Beautiful Drum Kit.

[@drumandfly6138]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@ELI-qm6bx]

I SEE 2 AUDIX 22s as OH MIKES

[@christiancea6]

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

[@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!

[@danielefalchetti1732]

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

What's that watch ??

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

[@davepeal]

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

[@drumlover1687]

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

[@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]

[@wolf11]

I'll bet that drumset takes at least 5 hours to assemble at least that is a huge you drumset holy crap . You know there's an old saying basically that my music teacher taught me a long time ago it's not how many drums you have but how well you can play just what you have in front of u. and what do you meant by that was I always wanted the biggest baddest drum set and that's why when I play for Aftershock I had the biggest drum set you know I had a huge drum set ,and then I got sick and tired of breaking the damn thing down cuz it took forever cuz nobody would help me so I went with a smaller set and I use the ghost pedal instead of two kick drums . and when I first played people were like where's the big set you know that's what they wanted to see what it was like part of the show and we were just a local band anyway and they didn't realize that I could do the same thing with a smaller set just as I could the big set and it took me less time because I was really the only one doing it you know I didn't have anybody I mean when your in your own band it's almost impossible because you don't make any money and you're doing it cuz you love it. so I didn't have a drum tech or nothing I mean you know my girlfriend helped out but that was about it you know at the time so that was a long time ago and things have changed but I just can't imagine how long it takes to set these things up nowadays it seems like drummers are going bigger and bigger and bigger and I don't know why I mean I really don't bigger is not always better it's like in the movies you know less is more like I rather you know see a kill that is less graphic on-screen then I would if it was on screen because I can use my imagination to find out what it really was your mind is the most scariest part of your body it's the most it's like a weapon and if you know how to use that weapon the right way well there you go if you don't then you don't but your mind is the biggest thing that you have and people seem to realize that big is not always better
