Todd Sucherman- "13 for NP" Modern Drummer Festival Neil Peart Tribute 2020. 

And hoists a drink to the great man himself! Sucherman is a class act all the way.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a bottle of The Macallan single malt whisky that's behind Todd's right shoulder. That was Neil's favorite. What a great nod from one great to another! The drumming wasn't too bad, either!

RIP Neil

There is nothing like a world class drummer paying tribute to another world class drummer.

I feel if Rush ever toured again that Todd would be the absolute perfect selection to play their tunes live. It would seem almost like an organic situation where even the purists would love. Just a thought....great playing as usual.

Great job Mr. Sucherman. To tose 15 people who gave a thumbs down - Post your drumming videos.

We lost one of the world’s most powerful and innovative percussionists. A fitting tribute to “the Professor”. He will always be “your favorite drummers, favorite drummer “!!

Ahhh, "The Macallan". 🥃✌🏾🥁

One drum god paying tribute to another drum god -- magical!

This piece is a wonderful tribute by my current favorite player to the great Neil Peart, my first real favorite. Todd’s the man- and he’s a class act.

A tribute to my favorite drummer by my other favorite drummer. Respect to both of you. Both in mind and spirit. Wonderful human beings.

Todd, thank you, pure class.

RIP Neil Peart

Masterpiece!! :) RIP Neil ....and thank you!

Drumming royalty.

This just might be the coolest thing I've ever seen! WOW! Neil would be Proud as hell!! #RipNeilPeart

beautifully done, much love and respect. RIP Professor

The Macallan behind Todd was a great touch :)

GREAT JOB, DRUMMER AND AWESOME HUMAN BEING WHOM I ADMIRE . NEIL WOULD BE VERY HUMBLED ❤️💜🙏

AMEN !! TODD- YOU ARE ALL CLASS!! I LOVE YOU 💜

If The Professor could see this, I’m sure that he would be proud of you Todd, inspired, appreciate what you’ve done, and respect it. Incredible piece you composed here.

Awesome drummer Todd I love your drum kit awesome

The drink drops it all....thank you...

Awesome job Todd. Neil would love it

Todd, excellent tribute to the Professor! I'm sure somewhere, that he's smiling!

Todd, I started crying when I saw your tribute. The legacy he left, and the thousands upon thousands of people he touched is something that is very special and dear to me. I had the chance to meet Rush in 2002 at the Gorge in George (WA), and my life could have ended at that very moment. The irony of his illness from one of the most brilliant minds in music and life, is so tragic in more ways than I can comprehend. I still tear up when I play to Rush. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this dedication. I am at a loss as to why his passing has seemed to have gone unnoticed. I also understand that he would probably want it that way as he was an extremely shy person when it came to his recognition and praise. Long live the professor!! I hope that was a nice vintage of The Macallan you were toasting. Your performance has made it to my "mix tape" and I also bow to your accomplishments in playing. Superb!. N.P. R.I.P.

Nice job....beautiful. Neil would love it.

Awesome Tribute! Thanks for stopping by the CHROMEY booth at PASIC 2014 in Austin TX to see Neil's once owned and used Slingerland drumkit. Your autographs on the drumheads helped to raise "Big Money" for the American Cancer Society.

Beautiful. And that ending 🥃 10/10

His double-bass is amazing!

My new favorite drummer!!!

Musical. Jarring. Primal. Intricate. 🥁🥂

Thank you for that tasty tribute to our late friend and mentor and inspiration, Neil Peart!

Seemingly a very rare thing even rarer with the passing of Neil Peart, a drummer with musicality, really enjoyable.

All of these Comments are great. The thing I would add is Todd's playing is always and I mean always musical. Makes a kit sound like another instrument in my view. Magical.

One of the traditional grip legends!

A fitting tribute. Neil's art permeated music and culture, his work ethic raised everybody's bar. Cheers!

That was EPIC Todd!

Todd, you Sir are the best drummers in my book amongst all the other greats. You have taught this ADHA after 40 years of drumming many chops and grooves. I would love to spend some time with you even if listening to you and watching you play. You are really a drummer who speaks my language in relating or connecting with me. My financial, like many others will not permit me to participate in any of you workshops. I've posted your videos on many drummer groups and they all loved it accept a few knuckleheads. 😎🥁👍

Beautiful. Thank you Gents

G R E A T ! B R A V O ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Todd you’ve made an entire song with just the drums. Incredible 👏 Just stellar

So beautiful! Thank You, Todd!

Malheureusement, je ne parle pas anglais mais je suis "SUPER FAN" ....continuez à mettre des vidéos sur RU-vid.... Un grand MERCI à vous étant (batteur Amateur.....) j'adore le jeu de batterie et "STYX" bien sur..... Bonnes Fetes de fin d' année ,en cette période difficile, à vous et toute la famille et surtout prenez bien soin de vous........MERCI BEAUCOUP.....

Superb 🤘😎👍🟥🍁🟥 "...and thanks for all the fish"🐟

The Macallan 12 was a nice touch.

It's even more fun watching your videos now after having taken your Masterclass in Daytona. To see you putting into practice all of the things you taught us just makes drumming for us mere mortals more doable now!

I over heard some folks talking and they were so said Neil died...one gentleman leaned in and said, yes. He died. But oh, how he lived And he lives here, with us all, still. with Todd calling him forth. every time we listen. He is there. Thanks Sucherman. You did it again. For us all.

Todd just keeps raising the bar....on himself!

OMG...this is insane! Too many Todds!

Todd - I strongly suspect that Neil would have absolutely loved that. Terrific composing. Just terrific. Gave the hint of a few of his more famous licks without replicating, threw in some seldom-used techniques, mixed complexity with simplicity, and had that "heck yeah!" drive throughout. Well done. Really enjoyed it.

and a one and a two! LOL genius!

Thank you.

Hmmm! Why was it Todd has been one of my favorite drummers for years now??? Oh yes.....

todd one of my favorite drummers

Having the 'Macallan' was a very nice touch. Beautifully played and constructed. Cheers!

You are my Inspiration, Sir!

Nice Saturday morning treat to get the blood flowing!

Fantastic drumming but my eyes can’t help but be drawn to that lovely Premier concert tom kit behind Todd!

Love! I watch about once a week! Thank you Todd! 🤙🏽😎🥁

I would LOVE to see Todd playing Subdivions...

No one does it like Todd!!

BEAUTIFUL!! In this hard times of covid 19, this genius drum piece made me happier today Mr Sucherman!! Thank you for the inspiration!!

I've always been a big fan of Neil's work, and I can say with confidence, if ever saw this, without a doubt, he would LOVE it!!!! Also a fan of Todd's work as well and am further impressed by this.

Awesome drummer beautiful KIT. ⛵🙏😎👍

That was excellent!! A Macallan cheers to you too!!

Geez Todd's talent is out of this world. Would love to see him tour with RUSH... no disrespect... would be an amazing show...

I come back to this video several times over. The quality of arrangement and musicianship is absolutely incredible. Job well done, sir!! And a great tribute to one of my favorite drummers.

This is awesome. Neil was my favourite great tribute! 🥁🥁✊

I don't know what you're drinkin'....but it WORKS! Tasty chops per usual Todd.....WELL done.

Flawless perfection! Loved the layered sounds, the added tone of the extra snare. You are the man Todd, always a treat watching you play! Stay well!

Todd, this was amazing!! What an absolutely brilliant and beautiful tribute to The Professor. I have so much love for this but feel an ache of sadness at the same time because just as he did, this piece tells a story from beginning to end. I had so much love and respect for Neil and I have so much admiration for what you’ve done. Bravo, this is just simply awesome!!!

Terry Bozzio does all this at once on the kit. Just messing with you Todd. Excellent video! I really enjoyed it.

Awesome Todd 😎 Fitting tribute to Neil. I met you a few years ago at the London Drum Show in the UK. You were such a nice guy and really down to earth. I shall treasure the signed photo of you 😊🥁

This is absolutely beautiful. My second favorite drummer paying tribute to my first favorite drummer. I love that you added the little YYZ intro in there as well. This is truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing it with us

Thank you Todd, Beautifully done. Cheers, Billy

Amazing job! Cheers to The Professor !

The whiskey for the finale! Nice touch. 👍

Outstanding. Beautiful.

Fantastic... And inspiring!!! 👍👍👍

Symphonic. Wonderful. Thank you.

Hard to believe Neil and EVH are gone. I’m so glad I took my wife to see both of their final tours.

Much respect. A fitting tribute, indeed. Cheers.

what a great tribute. I would love to see more videos of you playing in your home studio. I really enjoy not only listening to you play, but watching you play as well. Cheer!

Beautiful Todd! Well done!

Beautiful piece of artistry. Also, the first time I've seen Flam Rats played around the kit, and so musically.

Great tribute and performance. I think I'll toast to Neil with some Macallan as well 🥃

Thanks for your excellent tribute

Todd..."The Technical Wizard"...

Cheers to ya! Have a splash of wine! 😃 🍷

Excellent tribute. You definitely captured Neil’s rhythmic style. Your kit sounds awesome too.

And on the 9th day, God said.....Let there be drums. And there were drums. Then Professor Neil Peart looked down with God and smiled. 🤘🏼❤❤❤😊🥁🥁🥁😊❤❤❤🤘🏼
