Todd Sucherman Hears "Rope" For The First Time
Рет қаралды 1,551,249
Күн бұрынIf Foo Fighters invited Styx's Todd Sucherman to take the drum throne (R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins), we think he'd be ready.
Even if he'd never heard the songs before.
In what's quickly become a Drumeo tradition, we dared Todd to learn a song he's never heard. In this video, he plays "Rope" from Foo Fighters' 2011 album Wasting Light after just one listen.
Todd usually learns songs by ear and gives them his undivided attention when listening.
It's tough even for the pros to learn in real-time. But you get to see it happen!
Watch Todd learn a song on the fly. How do you think he did?

He ended up having lunch with me and talking life, drums, and touring for about 2 hours. Turned out I had sold him a cymbal some years prior when I worked at the Clearwater Sam Ash. Small world, and no surprise he absolutely nails it.

Like a scientist at a convention saying to an audience; ‘I’m sure there’s tens of people in the audience who is more knowledgeable on these subject’, they’re downplaying their expert skill out of respect for the original drummer. Then they proceed to kill it.

It's like he said: the "strange" parts (as in never heard or played parts for each drummer) are the hardest because we tend to take time to internalize those details on the surface before we dive in too deep in the process of learning a song. If we're supposed to learn it and play it exactly like it was recorded, then it demands more attention and repetition. Apart from the obvious slips, which are understandably part of getting acquainted with the song structure, he absolutely nailed everything else: power, groove and time, as usual. Todd is a legend.

Within the first 20 seconds of Todd's rendition, I stopped watching & just started reading the comments, letting the music play in the background. He nailed it so well, it felt like I was just listening to the song while wanting to see what other viewers thought of his excellent performance. It was so good, I literally forgot I was watching a dude play this live on his first attempt.

The greatest compliment I can give this series is all of a sudden I found myself sitting down with songs that I hadn’t tried to play before and like work through them and come up with the parts and I think it’s really because I got inspired that it reminded me about all the active listening in the joy of figuring out something and I’ve had some really good success with like King Crimson and all these weird songs because of watching these drum videos inspiring me on the guitar thank you so much!

Todd is one of the few drummers I follow on social media so I see his drumming all the time. In everything I see from him, his quality of sound and pocket are fantastic. He did a great job of preserving both of those while going through this exercise. He should be commended for making an attempt on one listen. He is a brave man! Just added this song to my Spotify! Thanks for the introduction to this song.

What I like about videos like this, is that it shows you that making mistakes is all part of the learning process, as well as demonstrating another way of learning a song. Todd is very good at explaining his methods, and his drums sound absolutely fantastic. Love his toms

Thank you Drumeo and all the professional drummer guests!! Now I’ll never hear the same song the same way as before. Gaining so much appreciation with the drumming part that at times I wish the drumming parts are brought more to the foreground so I can savor it.👏👏👏👏👏

Todd has such a great presence on the kit, great drum tone. He got to a great standard on this song with one listen too, getting basically all the mechanics and feel, great ear. I'm sure if he played through two more times after a few listens it would be basically spot on

As a song I like to play, I've watched this so many times. The most enjoyable aspect for me is, although there are mistakes which is completely understandable, when Todd "gets in the pocket" of the groove you can tell what a classy drummer he is. Another 20-30 minutes with the song and he would have it nailed. One of my favourite series on KZfaq. Well done, Drumeo!

The great thing about this is. Watching how a pro learns a song and how they process the learning and when they make mistakes, watching them deal with it. I mean everyone makes mistakes but the difference is is how “professionals” deal with it and process the song and okay not playing note for note but putting on a good performance. Awesome stuff 👍🏽🤘🏽
