Todd Sucherman’s Masterful Drum Solo

Styx’s Todd Sucherman is known for writing delightfully musical drum solos. If you’ve ever wondered how to come up with rhythms that tell a story, watch this video! You’ll see Todd play a solo (“Evening The Odds”) that transforms over time (things get especially cool around 3:06) and hear him break down some of his creative choices, including: - Why he phrased the 16th notes/flams section in groups of 5/5/3/3 - How he took a note from Tony Williams to create ‘triads’ on the toms - …plus a samba-inspired moment and a double bass shuffle.
