Herein lay the line between good and great. I can count on one hand the amount of drummers whose solos I can sit through from start finish - Weckl being one, Dicenso being another, Smith being another, Sucherman being another. These are musical soloist which is very rare. They build upon a theme and take you through hills and valleys with their storytelling abilities. This is just another in a long list of masterpieces by Todd. No shocker whatsoever from the master.

This is a real complete piece of music, not just a drum solo.

This guy is next level in terms of power, dynamics, touch, technique, and musical story-telling.

Nothing i enjoy more than a well-structured solo that is musical in nature.

This is what makes a drum solo interesting. Different beats, different dynamics - it makes it engaging.

This isn't a drum solo, it's a musical composition executed perfectly

Todd is one of my favorite drummers of all time.

Wow what a drummer! Long drum solos can often get boring but this one had composition, musicality, dynamics and power that kept me riveted right till the end!

This is what you can do when your drums have tonality and it’s actually a musical instrument instead of having them tuned where it sounds like you’re hitting a mattress this is how drums should sound

I'm discovering this drummer today on this solo, and although the man be praised for his complete array of techniques, skills and chops, there is one quality above all else that stands out when listening to him: Extraordinary musicality, the ability to blend colors, stories, phrases together! The man tells us a wonderful story through his drumset and chops, with mastery and magic... You can see that's it's all in him, within him, and from him... Amazing! Drum solos can be so boring (very often), but listening to Todd Sucherman was a delight from beginning to end!

Thank goodness for a drum solo that is enjoyable for drummers to watch. Usually I can't stand to watch 2 minutes of a drum solo. I watched this one twice in a row. Also, the drums sound absolutely amazing!

He never ventured from the groove! Fricking loved that! Great solo!

No one solos like Todd. He takes years of percussive studies, and rudiments and turns it into a beautiful musical symphony that warms your inner soul and gets your feet tapping at the same time! Love watching him play!!!

Hello dear Todd!! I'm Agustín from Chacabuco (Buenos Aires, Argentina). I admire you sooo much, you are such a great inspiration!! Master Drummer, awesome technique, very musical, with good taste and creativity! A send you a big hug!

one of the most musical drummers on the planet..........thank you todd for your impeccable skillz on your amazing sounding kit !!!!

Fantastic!. Love the three floor toms and the orchestral bass drum.

Telling a musical “story” is what separates a great solo apart Well done sir!

thats how every drum should sound. Great mix.

I love your playing Todd. The perfect blend of musicality, technique, finesse, power. This solo should be taught in any drumming academy. You percussive approach reminds one of my favourite drummers ever: Phil Collins. Well done my friend!

It's Title a Composition.Hes telling a story,that's what I here.Idk how this one slipped by me.Happy it popped up.Todd,thanks for sharing your knowledge not just of the drums,also of how to be a working drummer. Drumeo thank you

Hands down. The best solo I have ever witnessed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Amazing. There’s only 2 drummers that blow me away. Todd and Eric.

This is, exactly, what drum solo is all about! Thank you Mr. Sucherman!👍👍👍👍👍👍

That is how an artist composes a solo. Bravo, Todd!

So musical, this is a musical journey. It makes sense, is all over the place, and keeps us engaged. This is true drumming mastery. Love it!

Maybe an underrated drummer, but for me one of the most musical ones. Congratulations from Italy 👍👏👏👏 I really like your drumming

Drumming that sings a tune anyone can hear and move to. First rate!

So captivated . . Nice drum solo, Uncle Todd 👍👏👏👏

GREAT drumming: great tone, melodic patterns, and not repetitious... endlessly creative.

Great conversation Todd! ....all 6min of it!

This is simply a great song. Yeah, it's a drum solo, but the composition and voicing making it genuinely fun to listen to. What really sells this (for me) is that while impressive technique/licks were necessary to play some of the parts, they took a backseat to the music. Kudos, Todd; this is fantastic.

Always amazing!

Finalmemte un solo bello,tecnico,di gusto,quasi da canticchiare,mai banale,dinamico.Finalmente,non il classico solo della serie "adesso vi faccio sentire quanto sono veloce" rullate su rullate casse sparate a velocità super.no,preferisco i soli come questo dove c'è un uso del gusto e della melodia.Bravissimo.🥁👍

Speechless

Wow!! Amazing!!!

Absolutely amazing

Tasty stuff....love the way he plays.

Olha só, jogando um SAMBA no meio! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥁 🇧🇷

All with no double pedal, 😮 nice... I like the way that he waited several bars before he added the first symbol accent in the form of the Bell first.... and then two bars later and you get that crack from a couple of splash cymbals, this guy is nuanced, fun to listen to

That was one of the most musical and understandable drum solos I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty much says it all.........Perfection.

Todd, your dynamics and musicality are simply stunning. That's how you do a solo, using the drums as a musical instrument and bringing all your skills to the table

Amzing work! Simply amazing!

Words fail me.... AWESOME! 😎

AMAZING!

monumental!!!!

It's always fun to watch him playing. 👍👍👍

beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration!

World class art work at its best!!!!

Music to my ears 💥🕺 Thanks to you and your crew for all the great content 👍😎

Thank you Todd. I love your commitment it shows every time I watch. ROCK ON DRUMMER BROTHER

Very captivating!

So clean when he he does fills that alternate between bd and hands. Just awesome.

Amazing!!!

Holy hell!!! Todd, man, I’m just speechless

Todd your the man!!!!!

Todd's phrasing and musicality in this solo is not something you see often. Salute sir!

Go Todd! Great! That was pretty damn masterful.

Todd can swing! Perfect!

One word.... BEAST!!!

His drum sound is still one of my favorites... His creativity and imagination has no ceiling this piece is definitely alot more than a drum solo he really explains the drum kit in a language like no other...Amazing!! Beautiful work Todd... 🤟😎👌

OMG Todd Crazy don't get much better than that i can't wait to get home and put on the headphones and listen to it again

Todd is definitely a top notch drummer! Everything he plays is so creative and appropriate

Definitely one of my favorite drummers to watch. The solos are very interesting and musical. Technique is abundant and clean.

Great technique, musicality - doesn't get much better than this. Up there with the best ever!

Todd makes the drums sing. Very happy to hear it. 🥁🎶🎧

Talent, experience, imagination! And a traditional sticking style! Wow! He's great!

Excellent…. Done with taste and finesse

Pure artwork my sir! Thank you

Wow! Another amazing piece from Todd Sucherman. You are phenomenal in your technique and placement. Awesome!!

Brilliant work amigo!!! Inventive and fascinating solo, an epic journey!!!

Impecable musicalmente!!!!!

Awesome use of rudiments and musical phrasing! Great variety of sounds too!

Great composition technique everything!!!!!!!!!

I can sing-a-long with this. Great playing, it's a hit... 💥🥁🙂

Wow! I was aware of Todd, but didn't know his drumming. This is wonderful and so musical. His Samba feel is great!

Beautiful kit brother…it sounds amazing

Oh man! So amazing! So versatile. It's not just a bunch of loud noise going there. One of the Bestest ever in my opinion..

Fantastic

It is a speach...not a only a fantastic drums solo! ;)

Bravo! Magistrale!

And That Ladies And Gentleman Is How You Build Up An Excitin' Drum Solo! Them Big Boys Are Lights Ahead Of All These Social Media Drummers! Ps: I Hear Some Massive Simon Phillips And Steve Smith Influences, Brother Todd;

Thin toms sound so much deeper and resonant. Amazing!

Awesomeness

I've never heard of this guy, this is magical.

He takes the samba and make this over great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Man, I love those long sticks!

That kit sounds amazing

Mr. ook! That's a meditation groove!!!!!

Noch mehr als die grandiose Virtuosität des Schlagzeugers beeindruckt mich der satte Sound seines Schlagzeugs.

I love Todd's solos. Like others have said here they tell a story each with a particular phrasing used as a home base throughout. All his solos start at that base phrasing and end with it using a distinct punctuation at conclusion. It's a musical journey!

Questo non è un solo di Batteria, è un racconto passionale straordinario. Grande, grandissimo.

Great riff. great job
