Well after about 56yrs, I've made up my mind on who the best drummer in the world is. Todd Sucherman (Styx)...in my mind is THE one. In a Genre where superstars and gods are made from their solos, I have NEVER for a second thought how great it would be to see a solo from him...it's just not needed and not sure how a solo could be any more impressive than what he does throughout the songs....the man is wicked..a beast....brilliant interpretation and feel....and I really like a lot of great drummers. So after 56yrs of living, breathing and dreamin' music...this piece of the puzzle is complete for me. hehe. Cheers to all that love a great drummer....oh and the rest too.
I sure hope the guys in Styx realize that they have one of the best drummers in the world right now! Todd has so much talent oozing from his body, he leaves a pool of it on the drum riser when he's done. Drummers: I'm taking Todd's Rock Drumming Masterclass on Drumeo currently and if you don't know about this guy, watch every video and read everything anyone says about him, because he is truly a drumming force and an incredible, I mean INCREDIBLE drum teacher. If he has a Drum clinic or Masterclass in your city - go see him, you won't regret it. Just got my tickets to see Styx at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA on July 30th and I CAN'T WAIT!
Glenn Perea Awesome have a great time at the Styx concert. I am also enrolled in Todd’s 26-week course on Drumeo.com, and he’s going to have a Masterclass in July in Fresno, California and I’m attending it. Todd Sucherman is one of my all time favorite drummers.
@@BryceChristopherHodge - Hey Bryce, Isn't the Masterclass awesome? I've been loving it. I'm in San Jose and I couldn't decide between Livermore or Thunder Valley either, both small intimate venues, but Livermore tickets include parking and dinner, so you can't beat that!
@@glennperea2604 Ooh, thanks for the heads up! You may have helped me with my decision. The masterclass is soo good, however I'm a little behind (I've gone back to college). I just wanted to have it for the summer break.
The recent poll of worlds best rock drummers (top 10) is a total joke.. Rick allen of Def Lep takes top spot.. and Todd doesnt even get a mention.. i wrote this in the comment section of the poll... he's without doubt the best there is right now..
You can tell by the way Todd moves behind the drums that he absolutely loves playing. I could watch these drum cam videos all day long. Just an amazing drummer.
What an absolute badass.....like all drummers, I’ve had my favorite players through various stages of my life- for me (and millions of others) a few of them have been names such as Peart, Bonham, Colaiuta, Smith, Phillips, Copeland, Rich, and so many more...but I’ll tell ya- Todd is RIGHT UP THERE with the best players I’ve ever heard or seen. He’s phenomenal- and what’s even cooler is that he’s obviously a NICE GUY. Freaking hero.
Todd, if I may, I have been a fan for a long time, your power, dynamic style , timing is so on! love your set up, looks very comfortable ! Rock on and than you for all your hard work, it's so fun to drum!
Thank You, Todd! Your playing got me back into Styx when I saw your video of "One With Everything". Beautiful technique always, but to me the best thing is your feel. Elastic! :)
U are by far one of the best ever to beat the drum. Hats off.. I watch your videos everyday hoping to play like u...U are my idol. Thank you and God BLESS!!!
Here is THE master Technical drummer of our days. Its inspiring how hard Todd studied over the years.... Amazing !!!! I have purchased and download many of TS prior recordings, its super extensive he has played all types of music and it shows! !
As an amateur guitar player, what I really enjoy is the cymbal work. Why? It's not splashy, ringy...the crash cymbals decay in time. And the drums are perfectly tuned especially the snare...The entire kit is a complete instrument, not just a 'collection' of drums. Well Done.
there isnt ONE rock drummer who can beat Todd ...literally.....Todd is no DOUBT the most musical rock drummer out there ,....when STYX added Todd it was like they rockets in their back pockets.....and Todd personally?? probably one of the coolest down to earth musician on the planet...kudos to you Todd ...trust me ...you are loved & treasured...
He's just got it in droves........ you said it well. His mastery of the timing is part of the equation along with the touch and feel of the groove. It really doesn't get any better..... it can't. It is what it is........ ":^)
Man can't wait till you guys come to San Antonio texas again its gonna sound funny but y'all my favorite band and I never seen you live but I will next time you come by San Antonio I promise 🤞crossed
Even if you don't know- or care for Styx music, any drummer should love Todd's DRUMMING. More than a rock drummer....something EVERYBODY can learn from.
1st of all :Todd's drum's sounds amazing ...a class act ...very accomplished (no shit right? LOL) 2nd: have nothing but respect for musicians (and the rest of the guys in STYX) who year after year play some of their old classics like they just recorded them...thats true professionalism...to still display a great attitude & willingness to go out & play night after night pretty much the same songs ...ALL the guys in STYX are total pro's in their field ..my hats off to them...
I have never been the largest Styx fan but I'd do a whole show just mesmerized by Todd. Well, that and I grew up a 'Gowan' fan when he was solo. Local Toronto boy. I'm also intrigued by how high he positions his snare drum. Just sayin'
Love watching you play Todd!!! Has your website been updated with the new kit and cymbal setup? New kit looks great and sounds great as well... Looks like you're having fun out there!!!

Real Deal. Professional. Technique Monster. World Class Musician.
who ever hit dislike ...should go get their head examined. This is world class drumming.
This guy has very quickly become one of my favorite drummers. Hes a beast and just makes everything flow so easily
I couldn't of said it better. Awesome feel and the chops are just crazy. Hate to say it but He's better then Neil
@@loumason6120 they have 2 totally diffrent styles I don't think comparing these legends is fair lol
Wow, I am blown away by the musicianship! Thank you !
I sure hope the guys in Styx realize that they have one of the best drummers in the world right now!

I'm taking the Drumeo masterclass too! And I live in Oakland. I haven't decided whether to see him in Livermore or at Lincoln at Thunder Valley.

@@shivaumesh1129 Hi Shiva, I saw that Fresno Masterclass coming up, just wish it was a little closer to me! Have a great time! Todd is the best.

All I can say is Todd is up there with the greatest in the World!!! Perfect technique, clean, dynamics are spot on. Just an absolute Monster!!!!!
New kit sounds amazing! Those toms sing!
Todd, you're amazing and such a joy to watch, THANK YOU for sharing this with us.......
Easily one of the top 2 or 3 drummers in the world. Todd has the best technique I have ever seen! His fluidity is amazing as well

Talk about finesse and power! This guys a legend!
Makes it look soooooo easy! #1 Drummer.
Beautiful stuff. Musical, inventive, tasteful, smooth and powerful. The complete package.

BEST ROCK DRUMMER IN THE WORLD RIGHT HERE!!!
This just goes on to prove that Todd is so much better than anyone else out there!
All those chops and he’s doing it with tree trunks ! My hat’s off to you, Todd. World class player.
They are really light too. I was surprised
Best 18 minutes of my life!!!!!
What an absolute badass.....like all drummers, I’ve had my favorite players through various stages of my life- for me (and millions of others) a few of them have been names such as Peart, Bonham, Colaiuta, Smith, Phillips, Copeland, Rich, and so many more...but I’ll tell ya- Todd is RIGHT UP THERE with the best players I’ve ever heard or seen.

I don't know what it is about his drumming, but it's so soothing that it puts me right to sleep!

Amazing great feel and technique 🥁✌️👍
Longtime Styx fan.. I knew you were gave the music a "fuller" sound, but after seeing you in action, all I can say is " Wow !!"
As an amateur guitar player, what I really enjoy is the cymbal work. Why? It's not splashy, ringy...the crash cymbals decay in time. And the drums are perfectly tuned especially the snare...The entire kit is a complete instrument, not just a 'collection' of drums. Well Done.
Shout out to his tech, Paulie.
That drumkit sounds so beautifully cool!!

@ Tim Sears - Well said. I totally agree. Todd is the best and an awesome teacher as well.

So cool
Love watching you play Todd!!! Has your website been updated with the new kit and cymbal setup? New kit looks great and sounds great as well... Looks like you're having fun out there!!!
