Todd Sucherman- "Tears of Joy" HD from Methods and Mechanics (Music by Jerry Goodman) 

Todd is the perfect "gateway drummer" to bring rock drummers into prog and fusion

Man! I remember being a young drummer, popping the DVD for the first time and after 30 seconds my jaw was on the floor. Still watch the DVD to this day, super inspirational stuff!

Nice to have this amazing interpretation in HD. What a great song. What a great drummer. What a great music. Thanks a lot

One of the greatest performance ever. I still remember seeing that after graduate from university... I was deeply into progressif rock and wishing to see a drummer that would combine prog and jazz... and when I found this 🔥

5:37 Channelling Phil Collins with the descending toms while still on the crash, a lick I freely use whenever the opportunity arises

How wonderfully the music here harmonizes with the landscape outside the window and the warmth of the interior. Thanks Todd.

Une très grosse pointure en matière de jeux et performance impeccable et un très belle morceau.

That fill at 5:37 ... oooh my God...! beautiful!

Always a pleasure to see and hear a Great Drummer with Traditional Grip! Cheers.

I couid watch this all day !

Methods and Mechanics is the GOAT of drum instructional videos! I see that black hair and I realize we are all getting older...but Todd seems to still be getting BETTER. At the top of my list (a crowded list indeed) of awesome drummers. ps R&R Hall of Fame...check out a band called STYX!!!

Sublime.

Drummers still are musicians... 😂 Todd, like your every beat. What a creativity!!!

Ever since I saw this the first time it's been one of my favorites! Simply EPIC!

One of the best drummers I've ever heard. And I heard almost everyone.)

What a great mastery of the kit overall. So musical and controlled but with tons of groove and nuance. He has it all

What a masterpiece. Amazing!!

Such musical drumming. It's not just speed or power but controlled finesse. Such a great DVD.

I loved this dvd....2004 i think

Just as beautiful all these years later ❤

I remember getting this DVD after having seen you at AUDW in Melbourne in 2015 and I remember thinking how particularly beautiful this piece was.

this song has it all

Bellissima sessione

My favorite song from the dvd! What a way to start it off! I remember putting this in my portable dvd player and playing along with it all the time growing up! Thanks for the inspiration Todd!!

Beautiful composition of master Goodman, and beautifully played by master Sucherman. And as always: fusion is the way! 👊🏻🤩

Glad I read your notes on the time sig. proof enough that I’m not nuts! Not about that, anyway. Beautifully played Todd!

YES, finally in HD on RU-vid! 😄 Not only is the drumming and music amazing, but the scenery and cinematography is fantastic

its been over 10 years and i still cant get the sound of your snare in the fill at 4:57 out of my head.

Def one of the best drummers of our time! He just feels the music and is 1 with the drums.

How Can we be perfectly perfect like this ?

Perfection on the drum kit!

Brilliant! ~

This was the song that hooked me at your 2004 Musicians Institute clinic. I was a naive young rock drummer and I had no idea the drum set could support this kind of music. My drumming world was forever changed as I delved into Return to a forever with Lenny White and, of course, Jean-Luc Ponty with Steve Smith.

Drummer ergonomics are such a trip, so infinitely varied. I have NEVER seen a drummer put their ride out in front of their toms. SO far to reach out there, but he looks comfortable. 🤯

Fantastic...

What a pleasure to watch Todd play. Impeccable timing. Thanks for the video...

I've always been a huge Sucherman fan.....just, so much to learn from him. Although, I'm as impressed with that house as I am his playing!

Fantastic drumming and amazing sound❤

Just amazing... could watch him play all day.

Amazing. Hello from Brazil...

A class above!!!

Best Drummer!!!

So many musicianship lessons in this masterwork by Todd. It remains a key video for drumming education. Thank you, Todd!! Beautiful.

Speechless while I'm drooling... 😶🤤🤩

This song is so beautiful, and played perfectly by you Todd!! This is one of the many reasons why you are hands down my favorite drummer. You play with such precision, power and passion, it is truly a joy to watch you perform! Cheers!

One of my favorite drum videos. This is perfect. Todd showcasing his massive vocabulary of rudiments, stick control, independence, volume control, feel, touch, phrasing, dynamics, nuance, musicality, power and creativity. It's why he's been in my top 10 for years along with a few unknowns like Weckl, Smith, Colaiuta, Donati, Dicenso and a few other hacks nobody's heard of. 😉

Classic. My favorite drum DVD

your a beast todd!!

Ahhh I love this video, so glad you decided to post it nice and crisp !

Incredible performance!

So great to have an HD upgrade of this!

bello/magnifico.💓💓💓💓💓💓

I used to watch it everyday. So much inspiration Mr. Sucherman

Very cool room Todd! And great drumming of course..

i love this song, it's uplifting

yes great job greets from germany lg hammerdrummer

That s an awesome druming part and constructed with a clever mind set. I had difficulties to figure out initially the time signature but it sounds like it is in a 13/8. That s disturbing at first from a druming perspective but after listening the melody it becomes so obvious! Main reason why it is super important to listening to the melody and other instruments, especially the bass line. Todd, you rock my man! 🤟🤟

This man is a beast, his intensity is amazing and he uses every bit of his drum set and his dynamics are just amazing 👏 🙌

Legend🎉🎉

Todd, if that is your home, it's beautiful!

With this song I discovered Todd years ago... you have everything what you can call incredible drumming in here. Great feel, great groove, great technic, amazing sound, incredible musicality. Just WOW...

WOOOOOOOOOOOW

True master at work!!!

This is awesome

Great stuff!🎉

Lejen.. incredible playing..🥁👍🔥

Everything in this video is just beautiful 👍👍👍. If I would have stopped drumming, this video would make me come back to enjoying the art of drumming 🙂

i found you on drumeo and was blown out of my socks. and i thank god for that. your drumming is so fresh, your vesitility is limitless. i appreciate you sharing your talent and grooves, ideas. god bless you brother

All these years later and I still get goosebumps watching this performance. Met Todd at a clinic in Salem, Oregon. Super cool guy and and amazing drummer.

Passionately Appreciated! I hold my breath when I watch the flowing timing

Nice work...nice house

You can literally play me to sleep in a good way... Todd is the man when it comes to drumming.

Great performance! Such a beautiful studio to record in! Always a pleasure to hear you're drumming, Todd!

I absolutely love this piece of work! Harkens back to a bit of Jean Luc Ponty. Still working to obtain #2 but oh what a difference already! Making a big difference at Berklee, best wishes Sir Todd!

Beautiful music and beautiful drumming .

accurate and elegant drumming: in short words, A EXCELLENT WORK!

This is such a beautiful place. Where was it recorded?

Incredible.

I would have tears of joy as well, if i could wake up to that view! EVEN MORE TEARS IF I COULD PLAY LIKE YOU:) I KNOW YOU DESERVE YOUR GIFT, CAUSE YOU WORKED FOR IT, UNFORTUNATELY, I STARTED PLAYING WAY TO LATE IN LIFE. BUT I SURE WOULD SETTLE FOR JUST SITTING DOWN WITH YOU ONE ON ONE FOR A BEER AND STORY TIME. YOU FRIGGEN ROCK!!! I had the PRIVELAGE of seeing you at the Guitar Center, in Mission Viejo, Ca. maybe about 1 year ago. love you maaaaaaaaan:)

Brings me back to watching Methods & Mechanics every day. I’d have it on after school or work, and go to bed with it on. Nearly wore out the DVDs! Thanks for uploading Todd ❤

Nice crib.
