@ric gillmore - I agree 100%. So, So tasty and smooth. Most people listening don't have any clue how much extra Todd adds to the drumming, but it is so beautifully orchestrated and executed that it adds a whole new level to the music overall. Always brilliant!
I noticed the waterphone in the background, did you use it on COTC like you did on the Mission? Styx is sounding fantastic!! Waiting impatiently on my COTC bundle to arrive. Love you guys so much!!!
Todd!! As always, thank you for this performance. Do you care to share how you get the rumble/note out of your gong drum? I run a D6 in mine as well and have a thuddy kick drum sound with minimal rumble. Room Mics?
I watched the intro like 4 times. Apparently everything Todd does has the potential to screw with your mind, not just his drumming. AWESOME song, too (I also watched it like 4 times…)
Killing snare sound, killing hi hat sound, killing splash sound, killing tom sound....well killing drums kit 🥰🥰🥰 What s that snarz again? Is it a brass based snare drums? Absolutely love it.
At my drawing table doing some work, listening to Gary Moore and Jack Bruce together . . . Album ends and this comes on . . . Had to stop immediately to see who it was, not because of Todd, but because of the music. I love Todd's drumming, but this is such a catchy, happy tune, and I had to know who the band was (I should have recognized Styx, but didn't). I've gotta hear the rest of this album soon. Having Todd on it definitely puts it over the top.
Great album - COTC ! Great drummer ! It's a shame that there isn't any airplay of the most recent releases from Styx. Cyclorama, Big Bang Theory & The Mission are all awesome with songs that should have got airplay on FM radio. Unfortunately, that hasn't (can't ?) happened. If you have the chance to go see them live, GO!!! You won't be disappointed!!
As usual, watching a consummate pro play is so enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you Todd. And BTW, PLEASE make a vid on that monster concert tom kit you have! That looks like fun to play.
If you ever fancy selling your 14x5.5West Pier snare from provenance please let me know. Lived in Brighton for 38yrs and would love to own this bit of history. Very special. As usual great playing sir.
@@toddsucherman I did indeed do that. Unfortunately they don’t have more pieces. Funny enough I have friend who’s a carpenter who did have some wood from the pier. He made pens from the pieces he had. Again unfortunately not enough to make a snare. Hopefully recycled wood becomes available from the Palace pier that’s half mile East from the remains of the West Pier.
WOW. I cannot wait for this album to be released. I LOVE the first two songs!!! Todd, your drumming is just simply unparalleled. It's got all of the technical mastery that only you and few others on the planet have, yet, like Ringo, serves the songs so beautifully and musically. I am a die hard fan of your playing in any way, shape or form that it is served. Styx is truly at the top of their game and have never sounded better.
@@toddsucherman and YES, I will be still watching every streaming lesson on Drumeo whether live, recorded, or sent by Carrier Pigeon, I will be there! Love ya Man!
Never gets old. Thank you Sir.
could watch that all day
So smooth,so butterly,dynamics are played perfectly.Todd,I think you need more drums for your collection 🤪
Todd, you're a legend!
Oh, man... That triplet double bass fill at the end was... perfect. 🙏
@ric gillmore - I agree 100%. So, So tasty and smooth. Most people listening don't have any clue how much extra Todd adds to the drumming, but it is so beautifully orchestrated and executed that it adds a whole new level to the music overall. Always brilliant!
Always a refreshing start of a day..Todd your a machine..😎👌
Absolute rock drum master.
Effortless, smooth, controlled, inventive, creative, all the while always in the pocket with powerful authority.
Soooo good, I've watched it twice. No biggie, unless you're supposed to be working!
Eh work isn't as important
Thank you for putting these videos out!!!
what a legend drummer. i love the way you move your hand on the cymbals. so awesome!
Excellent technique and such tasteful playing!
No words to describe what an amazing drummer you are. You are the best drummer in the world!! I can watch all day long. Keep Rocking!!!
Absolutely one of the top five in the world. I think Todd would name Steve Smith or Vinnie, but he is right up there with all of them.
Such an awesome song! Love the groove!
So great! Absolutely love the song, masterful playing as always! Watched it 3 times.
Thanks!
Sounds great! I'm always glad to hear some new Styx. Keep up the good work!
Loving this album.
As Always..Just Perfectly executed👍
LOVE THAT COLLECTION TODD
What a jammin' song but whew, the last minute is a thrill ride watching you. Kit sounds monstrous. That was freakin' awesome.🤘😵
Great!!! Great!!! Sentimental and technical - as always!!! And....I love this set up!!!
Outstanding! Man you’re good! Thanks for sharing.
I could keep on watching another 45 minutes of this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful musicianship
What a monster, thanks Todd
Love the back and forth high-hat/ride lick. Good stuff Todd!
That is a beauty of a song!
Just wow!
WOW Todd! You served that song fantastically! GREAT new tune!

SO CRISP!
He speaks the language of drums.
Super! This was so awesome to watch close up.
Todd you're one with your instrument, you're in Nirvana on Earth 🥁
Merci cher Todd la France t'aime
Has anyone met Todd Sucherman in person?.....seems like a very nice guy...incredible musician!!
Love it, so good
Love it !!
Your Snare drum groove is very nice!
Nice Todd! Look forward to seeing you perform on stage again!
He is the perfect drummer. Damn!
Phenomenal Drummer.
Awesome Song & Drumming! Just subbed you.
Solid man great song 🤣🤣🤣I thought I was crazy for owning 10 drum sets can’t even walk in my living room anymore 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Awesome, look forward to seeing this live on June 19th! I hope you guys play this anyway.. please do...
I hope we do too!
@@toddsucherman still working out the set list?
Todd, this drum part is absolute poetry and musicianship at it’s finest! And that ride….🔥🔥🔥
It’s like Christmas morning when Todd posts a new video!
Totally Agree 100%. Love everything he does.
As a recording engineer..hand control on cymbals is outstanding
Todd Da Vinci 👌🏻😎
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I noticed the waterphone in the background, did you use it on COTC like you did on the Mission? Styx is sounding fantastic!! Waiting impatiently on my COTC bundle to arrive. Love you guys so much!!!
No Waterphone on COTC! Lots of other treats though...
just discover this master a few weeks ago!
Todd!! As always, thank you for this performance. Do you care to share how you get the rumble/note out of your gong drum? I run a D6 in mine as well and have a thuddy kick drum sound with minimal rumble. Room Mics?
The fill at 2:47 ish was pretty sick.
bad ass!!
This is good! This is perfekt 😍
Favorite part is 2:13. The Tom cymbal combination was the perfect choice for that musical moment.
I watched the intro like 4 times. Apparently everything Todd does has the potential to screw with your mind, not just his drumming. AWESOME song, too (I also watched it like 4 times…)
I like the switch in feel from 12/8 to 4/4 and back.
Killing snare sound, killing hi hat sound, killing splash sound, killing tom sound....well killing drums kit 🥰🥰🥰
What s that snarz again? Is it a brass based snare drums? Absolutely love it.
That's a 14x5.5 Maple/Gum Pearl Masterworks in Black Limba.
@@toddsucherman damn it has so nice harmonics. Love your drummings Todd. If only I could have 10% of your talent 👏👏👏
👍👍👍
Riveted China, nice. What’s behind his floor tom with the spikes?
A Waterphone.
Like buttah!
👍🇺🇸🍻
Always thought I was having a ton of snares at home….
I think you need more drums....
Awesome stuff! Such musical drumming!
👍🏻👍🏻
Numero 1 attualmente sulla batteria!
5 thumbs down? Why? These people clearly have issues how can you not like this!

Superb Todd ..... Played for the song .... Lovely

@@toddsucherman Ah, thanks! Concert toms are fun, immediately think Phil Collins and Hal Blaine.
Every single drum hit is so well put
My favourite modern drummer!
Really like this song!!
always fantastic!
flawless as usual.
wow...just wow
Awesome!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Guy is Amazing
If you ever fancy selling your 14x5.5West Pier snare from provenance please let me know. Lived in Brighton for 38yrs and would love to own this bit of history. Very special.
As usual great playing sir.
Thank you! Yeah, I won't be selling anything. Maybe Tim at Provenance still has some stock from the West Pier? Worth an email to him.
@@toddsucherman I did indeed do that. Unfortunately they don’t have more pieces.
Funny enough I have friend who’s a carpenter who did have some wood from the pier. He made pens from the pieces he had. Again unfortunately not enough to make a snare.
Hopefully recycled wood becomes available from the Palace pier that’s half mile East from the remains of the West Pier.
Superb playing as always, and I love the fact that you play traditional!
Sheer perfection...it's so melodic, I wish I could sell my drums and get his identical kit...!
Stoked for the new record. Great work so far, can’t wait to hear the rest!
Loved the arrangement on the drums Todd. Again, I thank you for sharing your music with the world. New music brings hope in these trying times.
Thank you, Juan!
