I love his approach to "sounding good". A lot of the fancy playing does sound nice, but he puts an emphasis on making clean and concise choices. Playing relaxed gave him the options of sound on the triplets. He's increasing his arsenal without adding in a fancy groove or flourish.

It's Todd. Every word out of his mouth is either hilarious, or inspiring, and his sound, power, fluidity, and nuance is beyond all of us. His knowledge is ridiculous, and this is by far my favorite Drumeo video to come out. Having said all that, the main thing I focused on? The bass drum patch his pedals are hitting looks like a smiley face. It's all I can see right now.

I had a chance of catching Todd's drum clinic at Saskatoon about 5 to 6 years ago when his first DVD came out, and I remember being mind blown by his control on the drum and sound he was able to get. Especially with the control of his left foot on his hi hat. I remember walking up to him and trying to compliment his left foot technique and sounding absolute idiot because I don't think I fully understood why I was so blown away by it that night. Watching this video has brought me back to that night and I remember now. Todd can groove with simply his feet. if you listen to the ending songo ish solo part without any of the tom parts or the cymbals he was hitting, you're still bound to wanna dance to it. It's drench in soooo much groove gravy. Doesn't matter if he's half opening them, doing a sizzling thing, or closing them sharp and crisp, they're always perfect and fits amazingly with what his hands are doing. the fact that, after all these years, I'm still memorize by the same thing is unreal. there are a couple more things that I love about this video 1. I taught 5 hours of drums today and I've covered like 95% of what Todd talk about in this video today in my lessons. I have never watched his DVDs, so thank you Mr. Sucherman for somehow imprinting quite a few of those ideas into me within one night of drum clinic. 2. If you show your friend the 1st progressive rock track, and the 2nd lazy chill track, and tell them that it's the same drummer playing, there's a big chance that your friend is going to call Bullshit on you. And that to me is the drummer that I'm aspiring to be. To play so convincingly no matter what music. It's fucking mind blowing 3.Todd's answer to what to do when you feel down , or lazy with practicing also what i tend to do. I find myself getting inspire from going live shows, or more often , just from watching Drumeo videos, especially the one with Mark Kelso. This one is gonna be a new favourite, to remind me of basic things sometimes I may forget sorry for the essay, but I'm just gonna leave with something that I think is funny as an ending someone in Saskatoon has been trying to sell Todd Sucherman signature Snare for 2000 dollars on kijiji for over a year. I haven't seen that Ad in a couple months, I wonder if someone bought it, or the seller just gave up

This has to be my hands-down favorite Drumeo video so far. First of all, thank you for being the premier drumming juncture on the planet in sharing so much drum knowledge and love for the craft with the world, and utilizing your resources with us. It's one of the true highlights of modern technology and what I think it's highest intent is aiming for. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but Todd touches on so many things typically either not covered, or not covered enough. I don't mean it in a demeaning or diminishing capacity because the time the artist has to cover as much as possible usually won't allow for some of the lesser sought out information from the industry greats, and I think we all agree Mr. Sucherman more than qualifies in that area. If there is music and drumming alone that hasn't\doesn't bring out all of your emotions then you're most likely simply not allowing it to. The thing I wonder about when I see\hear him play is exactly what he touched on. The technique in execution that encompasses the relaxation coupled with height and drum\cymbal\percussion displacement is exactly what I have wondered about and what his idea of fundamental necessities include. Head tension, micing techniques, ideas for keeping the flame internally and eternally lit, practice ideas, body alignment, physical mechanics, mental aptitude, the value in bonding with other drummers, the necessary level of commitment to your pursuits, and the five things he closes with that all musicians should embrace. As inspirational a video as I've seen anyone put out on here. Thanks gentlemen!

I come back to the video about once every two or three months. It just brings me back to basics; and, I find myself making small adjustments to my playing every time I watch it. The shank-tip is a life-saver and it sounds SO much better, regardless of speed. And, balance---when I first saw this video several years ago, I immediately became conscious of my overall balance and immediately improved my drumming 100% overnight---literally. And you'll know when you achieve that balance. When it's sound-check time, and after you get through each drum and the sound guy finally tells you, "Okay, give me the whole kit," and you hit that kick and snare and his head starts bobbing, and everyone in the joint stops what they're doing and briefly turn and look at your sound-check, you know you've got balance. Todd is a wonderful teacher and clinician. One cannot help but improve with every video you watch. His DRUMEO Rock Masterclass is excellent.

What people might not think about is that this lesson can be relate-able with, not only if you're a jazz fusion or traditional rock to prog drummer, this can also be related with punk to extreme metal. Meaning the hand technique, equipment placement and playing diversity effects even the players who drum 250 beats per minute especially with progressive/ experimental metal (Richardson/ Haake). Just because the music is known for cymbal bashing doesn't mean it fits universally everywhere.

You can cultivate talent,but you need to quot comparing yourself to advanced musicians. I've been playing almost 30 years now and I've come a long way. I am more now as a musician than I ever thought I would be and if I never made another dime playing drums every moment of practice all the money I've spent on gear,it's all been worth it. I am satisfied with the result of all the hard work. There were road blocks and many times where I felt faded or as if I wasn't getting better,still I practiced. Never give up my friend it's totally worth it.

They recorded it when they got back with Scott, and called it Glide. Earlier this year, Dave released Saturday, and I'm drumming on it! Check it out of you like. kzitem.info/news/bejne/pqBv12d7i6SjZG0 Until then, I'll have my gf shazam it when she wakes up. If that doesn't work, I'll have to hit Todd up on fb or something.

I love the way he teaches. I bought his Mechanics DVD because of this lesson. You guys at Drumeo are doing a great job bringing in these great drummers! Thanks Todd! Loved the phenomenal musical solo at the end!

I can't tell what is my favourite part because there are so much of them! Todd is one of the most "deep" characters in drumming cause his awareness and knowledge of the job has so many aspects (mixing from ground zero, drum sound, relaxing, 5 rules and many more). Many drummers focus on only one thing they master, Todd focuses on many. Re-ignites my passion!

I love how Sucherman describes how some drummers focus on the wrong things, such as simply learning new techniques when instead the foundations have not been really drilled in, and how he breaks down basic techniques to ensure we are all doing it right! Thanks Drumeo!

Best part of the lesson is the reminder of a simple truth, "put in the time...don't let the distractions of modern life get in the way." I love this guy. He's a drummer, a poet, a philosopher...and an inspiration. I listen to him constantly. Have never met but have never had a better instructor. Thank you, so much, for bringing this to us all, Drumeo. Just thanks. I love being a drummer. And I love learning from others. I get such joy from just hearing guys this good play, and talk about their process, and their approach. We're all drummers, on this thread. It's this cool community of strangers all sharing a passion. The rhythm drives us..to the future. Fast and determined, the rhythm drives us. The harder we work, the more happiness we’ll find. Propelled by ambition to just be better at what we do, and the inspirations that keep driving us...we arrive. But a strange thing happens when we get there. We discover guys like Todd...and we know we have further to go…and the need to drive further gives us a good, healthy, kick in the ass...because we know an even greater happiness lies ahead. We become the clock that never sees tomorrow. The hand that catches wind. And then…we get lost. Lost in the music, lost in the growth. And if we stop and look...we discover…the moment…the hidden paradise of the here and now. Finding that perfect groove, getting lost in the deep pocket…your mind will be at peace. I'll never be anywhere near as good as guys like Todd, and Gadd, and so many others...but I love trying.

"Some things that are natural to do aren't natural to learn". The simplicity and wisdom in that statement is profound. I've been playing all my life and continue to learn that most of my limitations come from forging ahead with what is "right" rather than embracing the spirit of the lesson and making it my own. Thanks Todd for so effectively communicating your experience in a way that enriches mine.

I've finally realised what is the "science" behind the groove that makes you bang your head. I wasn't used to make such a big dynamic difference among my limbs, but it is obviously very needed. It is unbelievable how tiny details make music and drumming great. Thank you Mr. Sucherman for the pieces of advice, this is one of the best drumlessons I've ever watched. Gotta go practise all of mentioned. Thx Drumeo

You know, I can't say this comment doesn't sadden me. Especially considering how many people gave it a thumbs up. Comparing Todd to Casey is apples to oranges. If only you could meet Casey you'd all change your minds. He's one of the nicest and hardest working people I know who has a heart for the drumming community. The work he is doing is good for all of us, whether you can see that or not.

It's not just your opinion actually. You told drumeo what they should do, what's the point of being rude to people who provide great free content to begin with? Just your opinion would be: "If I had to compare Todd's teaching to cooperdrummer, I prefer Todd." with an optional but probably appreciated "Thanks for having him on, it would be great to see him again."

It is 100k views, around 600 comments and tons of replies and just 100 thumbs up. He got 10 thumbs, so other thought it was a popular comment or a comment worth thumbing up, so it reached 100 thubms up fairly quick. Casey's safe, we love and adore his job incredibly.

The main issue with Casey is that he doesn't practice what he preaches, which comes out as bit hypocritical in practice.

Sucherman is my favorite guy to listen to while he teaches on your channel, he's not my favorite drummer of all time, but is still one of my favorites. He's so seasoned! His experience and the value of what his says just shows how much of a natural born musician and teacher he really is.

Im a guitarist and vocalist but was so inspired by Todd, I haven't picked up the sticks since i was a child and I'm now shopping for a drum kit. I hope to have it this month. Thanks my Friend! You are the one of the most humble people I've ever had the chance to meet. I'd love to see your methods and mechanics.
