- From Legacy Pilots 3rd album, "The Penrose Triangle". Drum cam of recording session for the track "A Compendium of Life" released October 2021.
I am 16. Been playing drums for a bit more than 2 years. I completely understand now when people say "playing with taste is more important than chops." The drummers I love to listen to are Max Sansalone (dimsunk on RUclips), Carter McLean, and Todd Sucherman. I am so glad I chose these guys to get inspiration from. Thank you for the wonderful music you've made Todd
All great influences. But as a young new player, have you listened to Neil Peart yet? If not you might want to check out these 3 Rush albums. 2112, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures. But just keep taking it all in. And if your goal is to be a busy drummer, these gentlemen's styles will help you get their. Steve Smith of Journey, Steve Gadd (I), Jeff Porcaro of Toto, and Simon Phillips (I) are all drummer's you should take the time to check out. They were all influential in my development as a drummer.
I always tried to just add more chops until I started viewing his show on Drumeo. Todd makes you understand why a guy like Ringo as such a genius. It’s all about playing whats right for every section of every song. Chops are good but timing and taste get the gig.
Aside from Todd, I also listen to Gavin Harrison exclusively.
On top of a lot already mentioned here (and surely repeating some) - get yourself hip to Buddy Rich - check out Tuff Dude, for example - not for the chops (which are obviously among the very best ever, period) but the fierce swing he has. And then after you have quit your drums in a fit of despair after watching him drum ;) keep drumming. Same goes for Steve Gadd (pick just about anything). And for Vinnie Colaiuta (Chick Corea / Sting just to cover a spectrum). And Jeff Porcaro (Rosanna alone is a Master Class in a shuffle groove). And Charlie Watts because only he could play like that, so simple and sparse yet so perfectly rocking. Last one for now, and I'm leaving so many out just so you'll read this entire reply ;) - The Professor Neil Peart. You'll learn as much from reading or listening to him talk about drumming, music, etc as you will trying to cop his parts. Good luck and have fun :)
One more thing too - always dig into the drummers who all the other musicians talk about wanting to play with. You know you're doing something right when other musicians prefer to play with you when they have the opportunity. Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colaiuta immediately come to mind, as just two examples of many first-call players.
I've been watching videos of Todd for almost a year now and must confess that his style is flawless. I'm a drummer with 55 years experience and have studied all the masters. My favorites are mostly of the rock genre such as John Bonham, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Mike Portnoy, Ginger Baker, and many others. But Todd has a really comfortable delivery of his intensions. It's called work smarter not harder. Utililizes the the hi hat very well so it doesn't stagnate. Fills timed out perfectly in a mathematical sense. Cymbal hits though hectic, never miss the mark and are tastfull. Very unique placement of the 3 floor toms but then, how does one stack his floor toms? And a tympani tom? What?? Love that, and he uses it. But anyway, to summerize.... very technical while simplified, lightning fast double kick, flawless meter, and shells (Pearl Masters Series) tuned perfectly. Really a player to study if you want to pick up some licks to add to yer own playing. And Todd, love the drum cam!
I am so thankful Todd is involved with Legacy Pilots, I purchased on Amazon I never knew..... its as if our favorite music was placed on an album, if you like David Sancious, Bill Bruford, Allan Parsons.... buy it! . Crazy great album !
🙏
Imo, no one can compare to Todd, the solid rock 2/4 sensibilities, the off metered prog rock influences, the melodic accents in the bridge, are just a few of the details of this master. Few, if none, can replicate his passion, technique and his dedication.
Todd, I don’t know what planet you came from but you’re it for me. Out of a large group of top drummers I like, your my favorite. Cheers my man. You truly excel at your gift.
Never clicked ‘👍’ so fast in my life. Such an amazing performance! So glad Todd keeps posting these masterpieces!

Wow Todd!! Fantastic performance. You are a truely gifted musician. I like it when you sing as well but this instrumental song is just awesome. Can’t wait to see more!
Loving it all the way ..hauntingly beautiful ...composition ..your one of my fav top drummers in the world ..Wow impressive
The toms are utter perfection!
Incredible snare drum collection...
Todd is just amazing.
Amazing drummer!
I consider studying your videos as part of my practice, catching ever more nuances and polishing those, reaffirming what I am doing right and building my tool box with each video brining me something new to practice and perfect. Thanks Todd for being my drum Muse! BTW I still practice your Rosetta Stone of kick combos at least three times a week!
What a beautiful piece. Your connection with the music is heartfelt and moving. I could feel every nuance, it made me feel like if I could play that same piece id want to play it (almost) like you did. Perfect performance as usual a real inspiration to me and helps push me past cliche. Im taking notes, Todd! Thanks for posting, always a pleasure. PS, your sticks are the only ones that I have found for me fit and feel like an extension of my hands better than any other Ive tried. Got plenty o back ups just in case a storm hits!😋
His performance is art. Respect.
Simply the best!!!!
rock on todd 🥁
This is absolutely incredible. Such interesting ideas, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful 💞
Amazing my man
I myself have 3 favorite drummer's of course Todd Sucherman, Brian Tichy, and Vinny Appice, I'm good just trying to take in their swagger.rock on everyone 🤟
Gary check out some of the work Vinnie has been doing lately with Melody Cristea. Dynamite stuff!
Sick as usual...
That sick groove at 3:25 has me feeling Toto’s Mashanga and Some crazy Gavin Harrison symbol tree stuff. Well done!
Same feeling here. Mushanga is one of the most brilliant grooves on earth, and it was the first song I remembered when I listened this amazing piece from Todd.
Masterful Todd
You are a rock star brother!!!
Genial Todd
I never knew that I could have feelings for the same sex until I started watching Todd's videos. Just a beautiful man.
Hey T!!! So many "Proggy" (please Todd, don't take the "Proggy" part personally, it is after all a really good job title!!👍🏼🤘🏼!!!) music drummers have huge drum sets, even incorporating E-drums straightforward or via triggers within their sets! I have certainly seen my share of them!! HOWEVER, very few of them actually put stick to drum on all those pieces!! But watching Todd for the last dozen or so years, I have noticed that he really doesn't have or muck with extras for the "looks," but rather has the "tools" necessary to execute the task or job at hand!! I applaud that, matter of fact, he has also through his "Drumeo" online classes taught or re-taught me forgotten techniques as well as causing me to eliminate all the unnecessary clutter on my set!! I guess I had forgotten about the one method I was taught by my father, my drum teachers and lived by for many years before being "carried away" with too much stuff!! That is the K.I. S.S. method or school of thought on drumming... and that is...
K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid!! If you're going to have "101 drumations" that is your set... you damn well better be using every one of them!!!!
ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER DRUMMER!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE!!!!!!!!!! 🤘🏼
Simon phillips and Todd sucherman 🔥
Todd is not a drummer...He is a magician...I just watched Magic!
It's hard to look away, true.
@@Eddy_Hammer it is hard to look away. This isn’t music I would regularly listen to, but I can still appreciate and learn. I noticed in this video he uses different body parts to keep time during complex sequences. I thought I was the only one.
Master
パワフルドラム大好き！
Fantástico !!!
I’m curious to know Todd, do you look at sheet music for the piece and sort of map out a drum script for the piece, or do you just listen to the other instruments and try several things with different sections of the song until you are happy with the perfection you usually end up with? What’s your basic strategy for composing?
Todd sadly...never replies!
@@jazzyboy7784 I very often do. "Never" is a pretty strong and definitive word.
I memorize if there is time, and there usually is. 👍🏻
@@toddsucherman...Sorry Todd...I'm a huge fan...no disrespect. Keep making great content...I'll keep watching.
@@toddsucherman I watched a 5 year old interview you did with Nick D’virgilio (spelling?) where you talked about being responsible to learn the material you agreed to play. Solid humaning 101 advice then and now.
Nice song dude🤘
How come I can't get their music anywhere on an actual CD? Anyone care to tell?
