Love that slushy hi-hat beat; Todd has single-handedly re-awakened my fandom of Styx and their great catalog of works. Dude- you are a MASTER; can do it all. MUCH respect. (I'm 67, was a hobbyist/drummer, but had to give it up/nerve damage)
Todd, you are one of the smoothest, most fluid players I've seen In my 46 yrs of drumming. Your technique is flawless and you've inspired my to play many different/learn chops. ThanknYou Sir. I'm a true fan. I may not be the first, or the "biggest fan". But I am TRUE FAN°
For those of you who have watched Todd perform this song before on UA-cam from a couple of years ago. I urge you to put the two videos side by side to notice something unsaid. Consistency. Todd has played this song thousands of times but he plays it every time as if someone in the audience is hearing it for the first time.
The sounds that you get out of your set that fit so perfectly into all of the different pars of your songs is just unbelievable. You play all of these different notes by hitting so many different parts of your kit, and that just takes your songs to such a whole new level. I am a self-taught, 73 year old drummer that lacks any musical knowledge/terminology to really convey my love for what you do. I am just dumbfounded by your skills.
Hey Todd! This is your biggest Fan from Austria!!! 🤩🤩 I hope you also post your performance of Blue Collar Man too! You inspire me every day.... thx .. wish you all the best!! 🥳
I don’t know about the rest of you, but every time I see a TS video, I have a sudden and nearly uncontrollable urge to immediately run out to my studio. I have received so much inspiration and practical advice from him and his coaching programs. Keep it up Todd. You are helping to make my personal corner of the universe sound better and better! GR
Just drool ov😊er the sound of your drums! Just an absolute PLEASURE to listen to you play.... I will argue, no one does it better and have such style and grace while complementing the music to a tee! ❤
Wow! Now that is how great drumming is played! It’s pretty cool when your bandmates are having a blast rocking out with you. Todd you are an elite drummer. Incredible performance!
@@mikereed174 ... Clearly YOU would know all about being STUPID, clown. Add to that being a narcissistic douochenozzle thinking ANYONE cares about your empty-handed opinions. 😂😂😂😂
I was at the Thursday night show & the band sounded fantastic, led by monster playing from TS! Also one of the coolest venues I have ever seen. Well worth the trip from Toronto!
An incredible performance as usual. It's always so inspiring to watch you play, Todd. Thank you for putting these videos up for us all to enjoy and continue to be inspired by.
Well, what hasn't already been said...? I'm new to Mr. Sucherman's sound and playing. That's partially because A: I've primarily been a metal guy, and B: I live under a rock. Definitely been "binging" his clips here (and think it's pretty wicked that he's actually taken the time for some replies here in the comments!!), as well as picking up a copy of his Methods and Mechanics II, which wound up being more informative and entertaining than from just a drum "perspective". That hadn't been enough. I looked at the tour schedule earlier this year, shortly after getting "on board" and saw that Styx were gonna be in town this weekend as a matter of fact. I have enjoyed the bands music over the years, but Mr. Sucherman is the catalyst that would get me to a show. By the time I made it to get tickets, the show was sold out. Kind of a good thing though, as the concert was/is on my grandsons birthday, and that didn't click until the venue told me they were sold out. Moral of the story - pay attention to NEXT years tour schedule, EARLIER!!!
I run out of things to say, to convey just how inspirational you remain to me and my own career. Keep these vids coming! I'm a visual guy and to be able to watch you do it to see and hear how it's supposed to look and sound like is incredibly effective for me, so thank you again!! The best mentor there is!
So many things to like about this video and Todd's super-human capabilities. The relentless left foot on the high-hats, the perfectly tuned toms (shout out to Todd and his drum techs), the great audio sound including the bell of the ride cymbal (shout out to the audiio engineers), the well-placed and "tasteful" fills that really add to the character of the songs - and like so many others have said - Todd has this simple fluidity to the way he plays; makes it look so easy and comfortable. I can't help but smile every time I watch a TS video!
We were at this show last Thursday night sitting in the second row about 20 feet from Todd. He gives it 100% and doesn't let up the entire night. Great Show!!!
Todd is a beast! And, I don’t think it takes anything away from him to say that his interpretation on the original songs also reveal how brilliant John Panozzo was - two brilliant drummers ❤️

The Toddfather
I'm not even a drummer and love watching this man play drums.
Easily one of the most musical, artistic and entertaining drummers to ever exist.... 🤘🤯
Thank you!

Seems to be quite a few of us in here.
Does anyone know what size high hat that is? It sounds amazing!

Absolutely true dat,,,,,
2:25. Whoa! 😎🤯
This was amazing to watch!!! My all time favorite Styx song.

What a master on the drums amazing
Todd’s by far one of the best precise technical drummers rockin it today! 👊🇨🇦
Hey Todd! This is your biggest Fan from Austria!!! 🤩🤩 I hope you also post your performance of Blue Collar Man too!
You inspire me every day.... thx .. wish you all the best!! 🥳
Tood is the man...Mike drop.
Always a pleasure to watch "Renegade" on drums by Todd Sucherman. The added pizzazz at the end is a great bonus. Killer!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but every time I see a TS video, I have a sudden and nearly uncontrollable urge to immediately run out to my studio. I have received so much inspiration and practical advice from him and his coaching programs. Keep it up Todd. You are helping to make my personal corner of the universe sound better and better! GR
Yep, don't stop cause I'm right behind ya!!
He really is a treasure for drummers all over. Seems like such a cool guy to hang with.
@@mattnormandrums Agreed!
Just drool ov😊er the sound of your drums! Just an absolute PLEASURE to listen to you play.... I will argue, no one does it better and have such style and grace while complementing the music to a tee! ❤
That snare riff into the gong bass drum absolutely incredible. Thanks Todd. You are the man! Keep on rockin those classics your way! It sounds great.
Bro! Is that insane or what?!
2:16 I like the way he phrases this whole section - with a bit of flam on the main hits and that cool riff you mentioned
Creative. Tasty. Perfect. What else can you say??
Fluid and explosive. Thanks!
I was fortunate enough to see them twice last year and they are phenomenal and he is definitely a world-class drummer
I can watch him play all day....
....yup. And that is saying something.
Todd has an uncanny knack of reminding other drummers we have a lot more practicing to do!!! World class drummer.
See you at Centennial in Sylvania, Ohio in July!!! Been an inspiration to many drummers ❤
Todd is now the best drummer in the world.
Kick ass drummer!!!
I love drummers, there's so much going on that you don't realize. Todd is an excellent drummer who has great technical skills.
I am by no measure a try Styx fan but I will watch every drum cam vid of TS. Such an infectious style. He makes traditional grip look effortless
Todd made me a Styx fan
The groove master!
Thanks for sharing this info .
Dude can thump and groove, no two ways about it. Damn good drummer
Todd "Loose Grip" Sucherman is fabulous!
Oh So Good!❤
Welcome to Albany NY see you May 9th! Can't wait!

Wow! Now that is how great drumming is played! It’s pretty cool when your bandmates are having a blast rocking out with you. Todd you are an elite drummer. Incredible performance!
It should be illegal to play so gracefully ! I love this man 🙏🏼
You sir, have become one of my favorite drummers. Such a cool vibe in your style of playing! Can't wait to see you live.
You and Carter C of DMB are two drummers I could watch all day...
Great stuff and wow…. That’s the highest I’ve ever seen a drummer set the snare at. It’s in his chest so it’s all wrist baby!!!!
You make this whole band happen
Your groove is sooodeep my man. Sick!
You are a Beast, Sir!!

🤣@@mikereed174 .. Seriously Bro, is reading comprehension something you struggle with? I said of OUR time, not "all" time. Nice Try, though.
@@mikereed174 ... Clearly YOU would know all about being STUPID, clown. Add to that being a narcissistic douochenozzle thinking ANYONE cares about your empty-handed opinions. 😂😂😂😂

Todd is a beast! And, I don’t think it takes anything away from him to say that his interpretation on the original songs also reveal how brilliant John Panozzo was - two brilliant drummers ❤️
That was bad ass.

Dude, the toms sound amazing.
Makes me want to practice more! This dude has serious chops!!!

C'est un plaisir de voir ce gars jouer.
Phenomenal!!!

Killer chops!!!!!

Gigantic hi hats
15s.
impressive
(No click track, for those that will ask!) Cuz the MASTER don't need no click!!! He has a click track in his his brain!
Todd is awesome! and Tommy's voice is still gold singing this 45 years later!!
I was so impressed by him when I finally saw him live in 2018. Looked like he was having so much fun too! Real rockstar!
I think Todd believes he is driving a car, so relaxed so precise and hard hitting, so clean ! Todd Sucherman is so fucking great !
I'm exhausted just watching.
Will be seeing you in August at the Ohio State Fair!
