A second volume of drumming advice and instruction from Styx drummer Todd Sucherman. The four-hour programme includes 15 song performances with analysis and breakdowns, plus topics such as odd phrasing, hand exercises and applications, concepts for practice routines and an extensive look at ghost notes. Further topics such as career development ideas and ways to navigate life as a touring working musician are also touched on.

(Percussion). Designed as a companion to Todd Sucherman's award-winning first DVD release, Methods and Mechanics, this book sheds new light on the playing and concepts of one of the most exciting drummers of our time. Built around note-for-note transcriptions by drummer/educator Brad Schlueter, the book also includes detailed commentary from both Todd and Brad about the concepts contained in Todd's playing. Included in this package are 8 songs, 5 breathtaking solos, and several of Todd's custom drum lessons (highlighting his approach to double bass drumming and hybrid rudiments on the kit). All of the songs and solos are included on the CD, as well as drumless play-along mixes of all four of the Taylor Mills songs. Usable with or without the original DVD release, this book serves as a complete package to analyze, practice, and understand some of the concepts employed by Todd with artists such as Styx, Brian Wilson, Jerry Goodman, Peter Cetera, Brian Culbertson, Spinal Tap, Michael Bolton, The Falling Wallendas, Eric Marienthal, and many others.
