Todd Sucherman is such a joy to watch. I grew up in the 70s a big Styx fan, and was a big fan of John Panozzo. While John wasn't the greatest drummer ever (I can poorly play MOST of his stuff), he was very good and his style and the parts he wrote for the "progressive" sounds of Styx were perfect. I love how Todd stays true to John's playing, but his skill allows him to augment the songs and take the playing to the highest level without departing from the basic sound John created. RIP John, your tracks will live forever. And Todd, keep on man, keep on.

Just watching this again for like the 3rd time. I just can't bow deeply enough in respect. There is so much to admire here. Your technical abilities are obviously world class. But also is the pure attention to the original song and reproducing it in a way that pays perfect homage and yet improves it somehow. And it's not just this song, it's every fucking song. You're great, but more importantly you're respectful and are giving it 100% all of the time. A true professional here folks! I've always thought Tommy Shaw was one of the more underrated musicians around, and you absolutely belong in that universe. Bravo sir. And on another note, thanks for taking the time to do so much instruction and such. It's great to see the complete package at work.

His seamless switching from match grip to traditional is fun to watch also. All without breaking a sweat. For my money? The best all around pro drummer out there. I would take lessons from him in a New York minute. And I have been a competant pro drummer for over 50 years. This old dog could stand to learn a few tricks.😅
