Todd Sucherman of Styx | The Heartbeat Behind the Beat

Todd Sucherman (Stix) joins Ari Gold for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from childhood air-drumming rituals to the discipline, feel, and endurance required to anchor one of rock’s most enduring bands. From recording a modern Stix album remotely to unpacking the invisible magic behind groove, Todd reflects on Brian Wilson, Jeff Porcaro, Phil Collins, and the quiet mentorship of Neil Peart. Together, they explore music education, artistic integrity, and why air drumming is more than fantasy—it’s training.
