I was first exposed to Todd's drumming on the Return to Paradise concert, the same show where Styx pays tribute to their original drummer, John Panozzo, with a great rendition of 'Show Me the Way'. That whole show was fantastic, and back in 1997, was a treat to see almost all of the original members together again. Todd tore up the drumming that show, and I've been a fan ever since. Been a Styx fan since the 70's, but became a Todd fan (and I'm also a drummer), ever since I saw him on that tour/show! No one can replace John, but Todd stepped in and made Styx his own! Fantastic drummer!

Not too many drummers play with a mixed grip these days. I'm a hack drummer, been playing for about 50 years, but when stuff gets really tough, I switch back to mixed. it's like Jonesy says in Hunt for Red October "When it gets confused, it runs home to mama." Excellent as always Todd.
