Episode 69 - Todd Sucherman - Part One (Professionalism, Styx & The Return to Sonor Drums)

This episode features my conversation with Todd Sucherman. Todd is best known as the drummer for the legendary rock band Styx, a position he's held since 1996. Highly regarded for his precision, creativity and versatility, Todd has also established a successful career as a session musician and is one of the most respected drummers in the industry. Todd is an in-demand educator and is sought out worldwide for his clinics and masterclasses. His award winning Methods & Mechanics DVD series is considered to be essential viewing to drummers of all levels. In our conversation, we talk about his perspectives on how to establish and maintain a professional career, his early days as a session musician, and how that lead to the Styx gig.  We also discuss his reasons for switching back to Sonor drums and why it is so important to be passionate about the gear you use in order to stay inspired.
