Todd Sucherman - (Styx - Spinal Tap & Many more!)

Todd Suchermann- Percussion Discussion - Episode 121 

Im thrilled to be joined for todays Percussion Discussion by the one and only Todd Sucherman!

 Todd is best known for playing drums for legendary American rockers Styx since 1995. Join Todd and myself for a thrilling conversation covering many areas of Todds remarkably busy life and career. 

We talk about the many drums in his stunning room and how he goes about choosing the right job for the right song. 

We also discuss Todd's approach to putting drums down remotely after getting a track with programmed drums or a guide track. 

I had to ask Todd about his stunning version of the Foo Fighters Rope on Drumeo after one listen, Todd lets us into a little secret that he didnt want to do it and it took Jared Falk to offer Todd a beautiful (and rare) Jade Green Yamaha Recording Custom snare drum to twist his arm in to doing it!! 

This was a real pleasure to do, Todd is a wonderful guy and i thank him for giving up the time from his crazy busy schedule to talk to me! 

huge thanks must go to our mutual pal Peter 'Dougal' Butler for putting us in touch!
