Todd Sucherman of the Styx is an iconic drummer playing an iconic sound. Playing in the controlled environment of the recording studio is one thing. How do they take those iconic drum tones with them on the road? Well... there's a lot of work involved and here is a peak behind the scenes of how STYX and Todd Sucherman and his drum tech Mark Petrocelli achieve that level day in and day out on tour. We take a look at the incredible Pearl drums themselves, how Mark and Todd like to tune the drums, what drum microphones they are using, and where they are placing them. This was so much fun and the first in many videos from the day!

Ever since he took panozzo's place and he was no slouch himself, but drinking dominated his life. Todd re-energized that band and took them to a level that John may he rest in peace would have never been able to take them, and they're so lucky they got Todd as they're drummer. I mean, hes helped take the whole band to another level with his brilliant playing. And it certainly rubbed off on the rest of that band. And if they hadn't gotten him as a drummer, I don't think they would have lasted as long as they have.

Thank you for digging deeper to explore how live sound really works. As a drummer for many years, i appreciate how well you covered this story. It is obvious at times in the interview, ie tuning, that the tech got nervous. You backed off and then he opened up.some more. Being the consummate pro drummer that Sucherman is, we get it when one has achieved the level of success. Cant tell ya all bout who it all works..picked up alot of new knowlegde here. Who interveiws a drum tech? You do. Awesome insight. Will look at what else you have in your video archive. Blessings, Ziggy

@MarkPetro-yt9oq 9 ай бұрын

Hi there. I signed up today, so that I could respond to some comments. Thank you for watching and enjoying the clip. I wouldn't say that I was nervous. When it comes to tuning or tensioning the heads, everyone has their own way and opinion, as to what's the "right way" of doing it. I've been asked on more than one occasion to do a tuning video. And while it seems tempting at times, I simply don't want to have the keyboard warriors telling me what I did wrong etc. So I'd say, I more or less shy away from the topic. Cheers!

Every time I see Styx I can’t help but LOVE Todd’s drum sound , simply amazing. I purchased Audix mics for my kit as well If they are good enough for him they are good enough for me. When I was trying to find the perfect stick my thought Process was easy. There had to be one drummer out there with a stick endorsement that likes a stick I would like as well. I knew the stick size and measurements so I looked at all the sticks in that range I could not believe after going through 5 or 6 sets I purchased a set of Todd’s stick. I use Todd’s sticks to this day. A fat stick but lighter because of the maple.

@cookie_mix 10 ай бұрын

I’ll beat Mark to this. The answer is yes. The riser is marked. The kick drums legs push up against angle 📐 brackets to keep from sliding. All the feet of the rack and floor Tom’s are marked on the riser. If we do a small gig on a local 8x8 riser, there is another drum rug that gets placed on the riser with the correct markings. Todd busted Mark on being 1 cm off the other day so yes, the positioning must be correct everyday. On the touring road crew side of things, you start to see what can fail or can be messed up during load-in and you start to find ways of ensuring success, not just for you, but also the artist. You may not know what you don’t know, but as soon as you are faced with a new problem, you work to prevent that problem every time and build it into your routine.

Christ, you edited something out every few seconds and a lot of times every other second of the video as the guy spoke. Amateur hour. Like watching a Max Headroom commercial from the 80s. It's KZfaq. Don't worry about cutting videos to a specific length. People are either interested in the video or they're not. Let your guests speak like humans instead of robotically chopping and pasting their words together like some kind of AI generator.

Btw what’s with the blankets on the kicks? Is it to protect them during set up in case a cymbal or wing nut is dropped?

@cookie_mix 7 ай бұрын

Or a sound engineer wiring the kit in a hurry. Yes, to protect the shells during setup.

Very cool video, great insights! But please invest in some kind of steady cam ;)

What I'm curious about is what effects (rack mount or plugins) the sound guy is using live on Todd's drums?

@cookie_mix 9 ай бұрын

I know a guy who knows the guy. Snare and Tom verbs have been in the desk for the past 6 years and have been short rooms for the most part. The toms get a little larger room than the snare but the snares gets to bleed into the Tom verb a little as well. I play with a little bit of pitch shift across the Tom group since they do have tones to them, but it’s only about 9% wet otherwise the imaging gets smeared. Last week I said screw it and out Abbey Road Chambers into SuperRack and I’m starting to get that tweaked in for the toms. Got bored. I don’t use a long verb on Todd’s kit live. Typically the room we are physically in gets messy and I would prefer to keep the precision in the drums since he is such an active player. The mix gets dense enough as it is and I need space for vocals and pitch instruments. If you listen to the videos that Todd posts on his channel, that all internal effects that Evan uses.

What about those mic mounts for 8 and 10 toms? I think never seen that design before. Customs?

@cookie_mix 10 ай бұрын

Yes. Custom. Machined and plated.

@MarkPetro-yt9oq 9 ай бұрын

The R-Class mic holders are made by Dunnett Classic Drums and distributed by Big Band Distribution. Todd's are rose gold plated.

What I would like to know is if Pearl going to make available the mic clips that bolt on or screw onto the cymbal stands?? I have asked about it before but never got a true answer.

Look at the K&M 217 thread adapter. You need to thread the drum hardware. You will also need Atlas LO-2B on some of your mics. The Tom mounts are 3rd party custom. At 1:04 you can see what I am referring to.

I love Todd’s style and the sound of his equipment. The big “but”, is the snare. Many like it and we all have our flavor, but people call his fat; it sounds flat to me. I’m surprised he gets stick rebound the way he does with the looseness of the batter.

@cookie_mix 8 ай бұрын

The stick rebound is the fine line we walk everyday. I need the snare’s tone to sit kinda low to make way for the other instruments and vocals but that pushes us up against the too loose line everyday. If the arrangements were sparser we could get away with a higher pitch and greater rebound more easily.
