There is no best I suspect, however, he is among the top on that long list. I never heard of him, then I saw one video and now I search for them for drum lessons. Every video such as this one is in fact a thorough lesson. I am grateful.
Simply amazing. Obviously John Panozzo (RIP) laid the foundation for the drums and percussion of Styx, but Mr Sucherman, you have made it your own. Powerful, and yet quick as lightening and smooth as glass. Maybe the coolest part was on your t-shirt. Faith and family. And performing for, and with, a Christian group of young people. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Man what I would give to hear something like this today. Y'all have the setlist down to a science, and I love it, but man this is awesome and it's 16 years old. Would be great to hear it again.
An absolute powerful and inspirational performance from Todd. This man is a monster behind the kit. There is no one today in music who can pound the skins like this man. Kudos to the rest of the band for an incredible 12 minute musical journey. 👏 🔥
A few years ago, I was be channel surfing - looking for something interesting to watch, and came across this performance. I don't recall what channel it was on....but I remember thinking "Who the hell is this drummer and how have I not heard of him until now?" I was an instant fan.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. I would drum to the radio, regardless of what played. I learned to switch gears, styles, and how to "feel" the music. Notice that I did not compare my talent to Todd's because he's the drummer I've always wanted to be.
FINALLY!!! DUDE, how did you get the original audio back for this chart? For so many years, ASCAP had banned this original recording due to copywrite infringements (left with HORRIBLE residual audio) but NOW, BAM! ALL BETTER NOW!!! TFG...dunno how this happened but so glad its back! (See you in Stever-D's basement soon man!)

Tommy & JY might not like this, watching old Styx videos (70's & 80's) sure do not miss Dennis. Lawrence, Tommy & JY are even better gives the music punch!!
