Todd Sucherman- STYX- Highlights of 24 songs in 21 minutes from Phoenix '23 

Best drummer in the world. A drummer that uses everything on his kit. Awesome!!!!!

It's 2024 and I just saw you again at Celebrity last Friday, my favorite place to watch the great rock bands. What a fantastic show, your drumming really makes it exciting to see, I saw Pert back in 74. What a privilege seeing the two greatest Rock Drummers of all time live.

YOU brought me back to Styx, single-handedly. Fair warning, 67, hobbyist drummer from 13-39; literally seen/Heard my share of all the greats....and Todd, YOU ARE one of the greats. I mean this as a compliment...you are a COMPLETE DRUMMER. You can do it all. Finesse, Power, odd time measures, genre's, ETC= a delight for a true fan of the drums. GREAT music endures, it's timeless. Your playing w/ Styx has reinvigorated that whole catalog....and I'm a bigger fan now than before. THANK YOU.

Love Todd's technique. Never a second wasted. This is what every drummer should strive for. He has truly mastered the drum kit. If your a drummer and feel uninspired. Just watch todd for few minutes. He will inspire you to get moving and not give up. Works for me everytime. Thank you todd for these videos. They mean the world to us and so do you. Styx forever.

If you haven't seen him in concert with Styx....DO IT!!!!!😊👍🔥

I just love his playing, great inspiration for all of us out there.

One of the Greatest Drummers I've Ever Seen. Styx Must Be Very Happy Having A Drummer like You !!!! You Must Have Alot of Fun Playing --I like the really busy playing --It's Extremely Amazing!!!! It Really Suits the Fantastic Band !!!!

I love watching these up-close videos because you can not only see what Todd is doing per the execution you can also see his facial expressions and subtle eyebrow raises when he's looking at the other members as if to say, "whew, pulled that off!" even though what we see looks effortless. What a inside view to one of the top players out there right now. I truly believe that Todd has resurrected Styx and kept them in the forefront of national touring acts that may have not kept going after losing certain members. My hats off to Lawrence as well filling Dennis' spot. Amazing performer as well. Love these videos, keep em coming, Todd!

I seen Styx 62 times and been to Todds Masterclass twice. He is the best drummer of the last three decades at least!! In my humble opinion.

I can sit and watch your playing for hours. Really amazing 😊

I could watch these videos for hours! Greatest drummer in the world today.

Such an AMAZING talent!!

Just Amazing!!! A beast behind the drum!!! Todd i hope see you someday love her in Buenos Aires Argentina with the band. Will be a dream come true!

Todd is my favorite drummer ever! I love when he puts out a new video

The master at work

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!!! Absolutely nothing but 1000% Love and appreciation for your Amazing talent and gift of drumming and singing Sir!!

Not sure what it is but Todd’s toms have the most amazing sound!! Give that drum tech a raise!!!

I absolutely love these videos. I watch them over and over and learn so much about what is possible on the instrument. Todd, you are the greatest. And OH MAN can you boys SING! Even through the dedicated drum mics, the singing is just impeccable. Styx is a legendary band and they are right at the top of their game. Always a fantastic show.

Can't believe I sat 3' ft from Todd at his Masterclass at Columbus Percussion! So surreal! Thanks for taking time to give back to the drumming community Todd and thanks for all your words of wisdom...much love!

Truly in awe...!! Ridiculous chops, time, power, feel, traditional, match, hand percussion - and he sings!! Kit is unbelievable too - just WOW...!!

Just grabbed tickets to your Portland, OR masterclass!!

One more of Todd’s videos I will be watching without stopping for hours trying to make sense of it!🤘🏾

I think I’ve watched all of these 3 or 4 times, I regret that I have but one “like” to give! I just watched Tommy at Daryl’s house playing Styx songs and it’s just amazing how much life Todd adds to these songs. I had to come back and watch this again to remind me of how they’re supposed to sound!

Todd your drumming is just phenomenal!!! Could watch you all day brother!!

So amazing❤❤❤ BoiseStyxChyx love our Todd

My son and I met Todd at a drum clinic in Portsmouth NH back in 2018. He's a super nice guy and took time to chat with us. At the clinic, he listed his 5 rules for success, they struck a chord with me and it was a teaching moment for my then 18 year old son. Todd, I hope I got these right, please comment if not 1. Be on time (or even better, early) 2. Be prepared (know and practice the music you’re going to play) 3. Make sure you have all the equipment you need 4. Complete the job 5. Make them happy you were there (for instance, be the guy who helps the guitarist move an amp) To this day, one of my favorite pictures is of my son and Todd at the counter while Todd is signing an autograph. PS we saw STYX in Hampton NH this past Saturday, as always a great show, I love the Come Sail Away drum riff.

I have always loved Todd’s style. Great drummer.

Браво Тодд я слежу за твоим творчеством

Just 1/2 through this I am blown away. I am a guitarist age 54. I have been to a lot of concerts. I was at a STYX concert in Albuquerque New Mexico some 7 or so years ago. Best live show and sound I have experienced. I have never seen video of just a drummer anywhere from any band before like this. Astounding. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

His timing is phenomenal.....imagine playing with him every night!

What a set list! Po8, Red Storm, Our Wonderful Lives ... so much new music, so many rare classics!

so tasteful and powerful!

The whole concert I play live doesn’t require as much energy as he puts into one song!!!

The tone on those toms are incredible !

Todd "THE MACHINE' Sucherman !

what a great player Todd is.

Unbelievable good! What a pleasure to see this!

Masterclass in tasteful discernment and flawless execution. No end of inspiration to draw from at any moment.

😳 Wow!! Absolutely flawless.

That's what dedication and practice will get you. An awesome badass performer. Laughlin here I come 👍

The results of dedication and enjoyment is appreciated :)

I have seen them three times. Such a phenomenal group. They put their heart and soul into their music.

Absolutely one of the great ones

I am exhausted just sitting here watching. Unbelievable how good he is

Memory, Persistence towards perfection and dedication to performances that exceed each and every night! With talented musicians to accompany him Todd’s exceptional skills shine each and every time! Bringing out a little twist to each song if you listen very carefully! Very subtly, only at live performances! God this is a mark of a true leader of the band! Well done my friend!

Todd has really given the music a kick in the a$$!! He is one of the best of our time, when I saw him the first time was blown away by his mastery of all the songs!! He is a valuable member of this classic band. Now, RRHOF pull your heads out and get these guys in NOW!!

I’m always in awe of your skill man. Todd, you are such a badass!

Todd Sucherman and Simon Phillips are my favorite drummers of all time. Both are absolute masters of the kit.

Dang, brotha’s slammin’ AND enjoying every moment😊❤

Phenomenal Drummer. As good as it gets.

Such a tasteful player. One of my favorites.

OMGOODNESS ~ TAKE MY BREATH AWAY 🍀🧚‍♀️🎵🎶💜🕊

Clearly head and shoulders above all drummers alive today!

This man is a real pro, the backbone of the band, his drums sound amazing, I absolutely love listening to him 👏👏

Wow!!! Todd you're absolutely remarkable!!!

LEGENDARY!!

Todd, you play the drums as if you are composing your own symphony to the music! Absolutely remarkable.

Только недавно узнал о таком замечательном барабанщике, спасибо😌

Todd is one of very few true "rock" drummers that combines power, technique, explosiveness, and groove over a large kit. There's not a lot of guys that hold that orbit. Phenomenal to watch!

I can’t even begin to imagine how exhausted you must be at the conclusion of each performance. You put so much effort into your craft, and all of us that see/hear you appreciate it so very much.

You wear us out just watching you play. You are such a busy guy! You're high-hat work is superb!

Honest man....gives his all

Maestro 🙏

Great Video Todd

What a style!

Hey styx always had amazing drummers I saw them a couple times with Todd and he played the parts of the drummer and the percussionist, very impressive. Thanks for the shots behind the drummer view. He really proves what the importance of those sticking patterns is. I want to break out that stick control book again and go at it NOW. Check out the ghost notes @15:52 and @ 16:02 AND THE FILL @16:22 and one more for the the pause.

Great sounding drums Sir!!

The fabulous musician that have remaked the great Styx !!! 👏👏👏👏 Bravo !!!

Just has to be the best living drummer in the world today, period!

Can’t wait to see you guys in Lake Charles!!!

the most unique high hat foot work I have ever seen

Simply one of the very best drummers ever !!!!!!

I can't get over how good those drums sound.. The tech deserves a nobel prize

A MONSTER drummer.

Love to watch your drumming dude..

I never considered Styx drumming to be this awesome! Very nice Todd!

Wow,that was an incredible and amazing display of Drum prowess Todd!!! Well done Sir!!! : >)

It’s truly amazing how he has taken John P work and modernized the pieces into a great blend of past and present. Seeing him live is something special. I wish they make One with everything part of every set list. Some of those fills are level ten type stuff.

Was a drummer in high school, which means I know "just barely" enough to know how incredibly hard what he does is...and how utterly simple he makes it look. Also, I think the groove in Red Storm is absolutely amazing. Great song.

Excellent drumming !!

I don't recognize any of the songs but what I DO recognize is this MF can flat out PLAY!!!!!! WOW!!! Tasty and clean. New STYX fan here! I know I may be a tad late! Todd you are now in my top 10.

I watched a video days ago detailing the drum tech & mic guy for this drummer.I know who Styx and Tommy Shaw are, but it's the first time I learned anything about this drummer.This was the kit they were setting/micing up too.I don't know how he plays some of the parts/drums he does using traditional style sticking with his left hand.Steve Smith from Journey also uses it.The only time I've ever used it was in the snare line in high school and in the Bluecoats drum corp, but I can't use it on my kit to save my life.This video was cool in how sections were played in a bunch of songs.

I have seen Styx 3-4x live. Their live show is tops. Come back to Austin.

I better go back downstairs and practice for the next 40000000000000 hours! Peace from Detroit MI.

Every piece of that kit is essential to his performance.

Class act !

Amazing. Didn’t realize he was that talented. Wow.

My favorite player ...

Todd is the best drummer period

Your reaction to almost flubbing the roll @ 0:18 is priceless! I imagine you thought "...did that really just happen...sheesh" LOL!! Amazing drumming as usual!

HOLY s...!!!!!!!!WOW!!!

Total PRO!!

Todd is the greatest of the greats.

Fera demais. 👏👏👏👏

Styx new material is great! It shows you when you put 7 very talented musicians together what they are capable of! Your really picking up some steam, and us fans are loving it! Thanks and keep it up!

Does anyone else feel like they’re at the carnival with the spinny drums? As far as Todd goes, he hasn’t missed a beat in decades. Plus he’s so down to earth…

This is really amazing, love his drumming! Can someone help me on what song he is playing at 6:00? Also, is it possible to buy this live concert from Celebrity Theater somewhere? Cant find it on their official site.

Does he ever, ever screw up!??! Phenomenal drummer!
