DVD Reviews of Todd Sucherman: Methods and Mechanics - For Useful Musical Drumming
DVD Review: Incredible DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a drumming DVD junkie (>20) so I have something to compare to. Some DVDs display incredible musical talent by the author. Some share insights and approaches to music. Some offer instruction on technique. Very few do all of these, and even fewer still do all, well. I'm a huge Steve Gadd fan, but his DVDs (which I love) are more a bit of phenomenal playing mixed with some insights and approaches. JoJo Mayers DVD (another must have) is largely technique with a bit of performance. In contrast, Steve Smith's DVD's offer everything and do it extremely well. Add Todd Sucherman's DVD to the latter list. His sticking on a pad is first rate, but not always "perfect" (so the rest of us can relate), and his actual performances are FABULOUS. He covers everything from practicing rudiments, to applying these to the kit in a musical way, to his approach to multiple styles (rock, jass etc), along with quite a bit of insight as to how he approaches playing a particular piece. So far, I've only seen Steve Smith and Neil Peart cover all the bases like this and do it well, but Todd's DVD is right there with them. Among many favorite DVDs, this is in the top 3. If there is any "weakness" it's that Todd covers so many issues, that some are dealt with rather superficially. I don't really consider this a weakness though since he has a knack for knowing which issues deserve more or less time (and he acknowledges upfront that he can't possible go into as much detail as he might want). The added bonus is great audio and video production at a beautiful recording studio, and enough dialog from Todd that you get a sense of knowing him a bit. He is incredibly talented, humble, not afraid to state an opinion, humorous etc all at the same time. Who wouldn't want to meet this guy after seeing his DVD? Excellent DVD, Mr. Sucherman! When your time permits, how 'bout another one someday?
