    From Todd himself:
    "The main theme is based on sustaining 16ths on the snare drum while developing melody ideas on the toms. This takes the use of pataflaflas, flam taps, flam triplets and other rudiments to achieve. Then it developes and goes elsewhere but comes back to the main theme. Enjoy! (And yes, that’s a Tony Williams “Sister Cheryl” quote that bridges sections!)"

    Holy fuck. This is not a drum solo, it's a song in itself.. Holy hell that is impressive..

  • @frenchdoge

    best solo I've watched on Drumeo

  • @randyporter3491
    @randyporter3491 Před 3 lety +28

    This is playing the music, not just the beat. There's always been something different about Todd's style and it's hard to describe, but he's special.

  • @rosssmithe
    @rosssmithe Před 3 lety +56

    Todd is arguably the one of best drummers alive right now. Power, precision, versatility, and GROOVE.. he really has it all at the highest level!! 👏😎

    • @drewsibleyloans

      He' agreeably the beat drummer alive too.. No argument here

    @TannerColinUK Před 7 lety +101

    Probably the most inspiring solo I've ever listened to/seen. There is not one thing id do differently, it's just so perfect. Everything about it. Dudes a legend

  • @nickavenoso7851
    @nickavenoso7851 Před 3 lety +9

    What I’ve always loved about drummers like Todd, Neil (RIP), etc, is that their solo’s are not about showing technique, there about taking you on a musical journey. Great solo, Todd!!!

  • @progdrummermark
    @progdrummermark Před 7 lety +71

    Todd has some of the tastiest drumming vocabulary to choose from. Reminds me of how Benny Greb solos, and that man's drumming vocab is ridiculous!

  • @paulmcgreal8750
    @paulmcgreal8750 Před 2 lety +4

    most musical drum solo ive ever heard. keeps the listener engaged the whole time. wow

  • @Mekratrig
    @Mekratrig Před 6 lety +78

    I'm not a musician, can't play an instrument, but still think this is fascinating. Can't even imagine the amount of time it took to be able to control each arm and foot independently of one another like this. Only wish whoever filmed this video would keep the small inset window of his feet onscreen all the time. I'm betting Todd Sucherman has to be one of the best drummers around.

      I’ve played drums on and off for years. There is so much room for improvement all the time. Any instrument takes time and talent. But yea it is really hard coordinating all limbs at the same time. 😆

  • @dcaudio1
    @dcaudio1 Před 4 lety +20

    I watch this every morning...the perfect way to start my day...this solo runs through my head all day and makes me smile. I know i can never be this good but it will fun trying.

  • @buddyrichable1
    @buddyrichable1 Před 5 lety +5

    Respect for Todd just went up a few notches. A solo with a theme and driving pulse that pulls you in until you’re dancing in your seat, not just a bunch of fancy licks strung together incoherently. Well done.

  • @sauerbone5208
    @sauerbone5208 Před 4 lety +24

    Watching this again after several months. Todd's skills are so deep and precise. Keeping the high-hat going on the upbeats while hammering out poly-rhythmic, flam-laden Tom Tom patterns with monster fills in between is master level drumming.

    • @bigpopakap
      @bigpopakap Před rokem +2

      Seriously! It was an impressive drum solo even without that constant hi hat. That he kept the hi hat going flawlessly the whole time, subtly altering the pattern to match the energy, was the cherry on top. Truly amazing

  • @TheSentinel909

      haha.. noticed that too.. so cool!

    • @suburbanindie
      @suburbanindie Před 5 lety +2

      It's kind of a half-mute, honestly only necessary if you're in the middle of a fill. I'm a pretty average drummer and would probably have issues implementing this technique. I know my limits haha

    • @Chadfleanthony
      @Chadfleanthony Před 4 lety

      It sounds pretty cool when you use hit it on 2 of the 4/4 half-time beat. Try hitting it with the snare as well (rim shot optional). Hit the snare again on 4 and resume the groove.

  • @punacunningham9151
    @punacunningham9151 Před 5 lety +8

    Love how he solos while still keeping the groove going,and the deep tones from the beautiful sounding toms very cool.

  • @jhamler1
    @jhamler1 Před 4 lety +1

    Quite possibly the besteset drum solo I've ever heard. Why? Because in and of itself it's a song kinda/sorta. Not to mention the sheer badassery of Todd's movements.

  • @jerrywitaj
    @jerrywitaj Před 2 lety +10

    Maybe the best drum solo I’ve ever heard. Musical, technical, rhythmic…it’s just perfect.

  • @shallowcarrot
    @shallowcarrot Před 3 lety

    The resonances of a couple of the toms and the snare are the tones of a power chord, and it's so satisfying :)

  • @jhamler1
    @jhamler1 Před 3 lety +5

    The bestest thing about this solo is that it's only four minutes long. Bonham and Peart would go on and on for twenty minutes. Sucherman gets it.

  • @rOy48MtL
    @rOy48MtL Před 7 lety +26

    Excellent drum solo!!!!......... NO matter how fast is your blast beat or double bass drum, NO matter how many cowbells you have, etc etc etc, YOU play something like 2:11 and that really blows your mind....AWESOME!

  • @hugor.2482

  • @sunitsikdar2153
    @sunitsikdar2153 Před 6 lety

    This is the best drum solo in the world. Short, Sweet, like a short story. Not a "look at me and my chops" solo. Watched it so many times. Never overpowering, never boring, push and pull. Just amazing.

  • @AlejoSunShine1111

  • @shanebrown1935
    @shanebrown1935 Před 7 lety +642

    I love this drum solos because it is musical. Solos that seem to just ramble on. Like the drumer is trying to hit all the drums as fast as he can gets boring.

    • @kleinefreiheit2807
      @kleinefreiheit2807 Před 7 lety +9

    • @cerberusthall9151
      @cerberusthall9151 Před 7 lety +16

      Seriously, when I heard him talking about how he liked his toms and cymbals to have their own notes, I couldn't believe how much sense it made. Like really selecting his crashes based on their respective pitches. Of course, it's not applicable to all genres of music, but for a solo it's exceptional.

    • @WhelanDrums
      @WhelanDrums Před 7 lety +8

      Yes! Musical! Simon Phillips and Neil Peart are also excellent soloists. A great solo is like a dialog, not just hitting everything as fast as you can.

    Best drum solo I heard so far it has a theme! Is not a demonstration of drummer capacity to play but it is something you can enjoy. And that double hit of the high hat… amazing! It filled me. I was wondering how he do that? So creative!

  • @smurphy8311
    @smurphy8311 Před 7 lety +2

    Caught him at Drum City drum clinic last night where he took the same flowing concept and "arc" of rhythm for a full 25 minutes...maybe a half hour, but I got totally lost in time listening and watching intently;) Beautiful stuff.

  • @cthumann

    The groove that he plays at 1:56 is soooo freaking tasty. And the fact that he "resumes" it after going off for one minute at 2:57 is just the best thing ever... Loving his ride!!! Anyone know what kind of ride it is??

  • @codersexpo1580
    @codersexpo1580 Před 2 lety

    Todd just floors me every time I see this man play. I tried to duplicate (in my own way) what he does here. I found that doing these Flam taps is easier and closer to the sound he gets by NOT pronouncing the flam itself so distinctly. More like a double handed hit or flattened out flam ...if that makes any sense. Mix that up with triplets, drags and five stroke rolls (especially between your hands and feet like RRFFL or drag(LL)RF or RLRLLF...)...mostly I just added this for texture and excitement but getting back to those Flam taps...love it. He is just soooo good.
