Registration for the Rock Drumming Masterclass is now closed.
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a drummer in a touring band that’s on the road for eight months a year and plays 150 shows? We took a trip down to Tulalip, Washington to meet up with Todd Sucherman of Styx and see what a day in the life looks like for one of the best rock drummers in the world.
Todd talks about everything from his warm-up gear, pre-show rituals, and his mental approach to playing live – all the way to his current wardrobe, backstage setup, and beverage of choice when he’s able to kick back. You’ll also get to meet Todd’s drum tech and bandmates who have a couple of funny stories to share!
