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.

Then they proceed to kill it.

There are very few drummers in the world that I enjoy watching as I do watching Mr. Sucherman

Just...incredible. If you're in the fortunate position of just getting to know Todd's playing, you're in for a treat. He's one of the all-time modern greats, a total master.

Nailing the chorus on the first time round put a huge smile on my face!

4:54 my gosh the feeling of the track with the extra drums 🤦‍♂️ man so inspiring can feel the love and admiration for music in the room in that moment

man... those may be some of the best toms i have ever heard.

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.

Even his mistakes are masterful. He doesn’t stop and start all over. He stays with it and keeps going. He’s always in time with the tempo. He also brings his own creativity and style to the track which is fun to listen to. Would love to meet this guy someday and pick his brain. Great job Todd!

This "first time" series is the best thing Drumeo could've ever done... It's amazing to watch how the great masters work and think, and it's great to see how very different they are from each other. There's like a thousand different ways of being a good drummer, you just gotta find your own.

Todd and Chad Smith both have a similar energy/intensity to their grooves. They really make you feel the music

I'd like to see Todd do more heavy rock songs like this. He sounds great for it.

"I should know this song, there's a lesson..." There is always something to learn, great way to put it Todd!

His ability to STOP, mid air, was amazing to me. I've seen him many many times in concert.

The section with the ride gallop thing gave me chills. Excellent job!!!

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!

Agree Larnell is great, but rope is a way harder song on drums than enter sandman. I wonder how larnell would handle this song. Todd did amazingly!

Sucherman is drumLord So exciting!!! His hits on snare like gunshots 😮😮😮

What a phenomenal talent he is

Why do you make it look so easy?!! You're the best Todd!! Rest in peace Taylor 😪

This guy did fantastic! He sounds perfect.

Among the tons of great songs Foo Fighters have to offer,this is my personal favorite,and that's saying alot cause they have an ridiculous amount of great songs.

As a bassplayer I love the drive of this drummer. Perfect to lay a huge groove down. He has drive AND weight, which is rare.

So great a pro like Todd recognizing the influence from the Almighty PROFESSOR !!!!

He’s one of my favorite drummers, he’s a workhorse, like a metronome…just solid

I love this video because you can literally see him thinking really hard and the gears turning, listening and learning more through each verse/chorus etc. as opposed to a drummer playing a song from memory for the 600th time.

I absolutely love what he did with the chorus, like it more than the original

OH MAN HE SMOKED IT!!!! these are quickly becoming my favorite videos

I've watched this video twice and it's bright tears to my eyes both time. He did an amazing job capturing Taylor's spirit when playing the song. This is one of if not my favorite Foo Fighters song and even with his missteps he absolutely nailed it. Man how I miss Taylor. Great job sir! 🤘🏿🤘🏿

Same man

Todd's technique and overall feel is so, so effing good. What a beast.

Damn, this guy plays the drums like anyone who wishes they could play them would like to do so. I mean he fucking PLAYS those things.

I still can’t believe Taylor isn’t with us anymore. RIP

This guy's dynamics and technique are flawless. Pretty great interpretation - beautiful kit!

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 👍🏽🤘🏽

What a tough song for someone to drum along to. But he NAILED it!
