These are Todd Sucherman's Drums and They are Beautiful
I really like the drink holder. It looks like the hole adjusts to fit the size of the drink.

Todd Sucherman in my Future
REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Loverboy are touring and will stop in Des Moines, IA, at Wells Fargo Arena on Sunday, September 4, 2022, as well as at TaxSlayer Center on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. I hope to see the concert in Des Moines. It is Labor Day weekend so the next day is a holiday. I was thinking about how many times I've seen these bands.
- Loverboy - this will be the 3rd time I will see them.
- 1986-08-28 with Dokken opening in Cedar Rapids.
- 2015-07-03 in Coralville Park
- 2022-09-06 in Des Moines
- For Styx, this will be the 2nd time I will see them.
- 2004-05-05 Memphis in May
- Todd Sucherman drum clinic at West Music within the last decade (I think)
- 2022-09-06 in Des Moines
- For REO Speedwagon, this will be the first time I've ever seen them in concert.
Here are some pictures of Todd Sucherman in action. He is a tremendously awesome drummer!!

Advancing My Drumming Skills
Sometimes, I wonder what it would take for me to be a really awesome drummer. I think about all the videos I see on YouTube of Virgil Donati, Todd Sucherman, Lars Ulrich (hee hee), and Thomas Lang and just sit in amazement at what they can do with sticks and drums. I think about what it would take for me to even be close to the same league as those drummers. One way I could make a baby step towards those drummers would be to sign up for The Coaching Course with the 80-20 Drummer. The prices are listed below:
A one-time investment of $127 is appealing. However, I am thinking that I purchased another drummer's "drum course" for $99 and haven't logged into that website in ... over a year? Stephen Taylor is the name, if I even remember that correctly. Like many things in my life, I often have grand ideas but not the ability to make those ideas become reality.

Styx in WI Dells
Remember back in November 2017, when I wrote about how Karen was going to Wisconsin Dells, WI, for a "Women's Weekend Away" and that Styx happened to be playing in town that weekend? I just came across these videos from the gig I didn't see. Todd Sucherman, their drummer, was on fire that night!!

Going to Blaze on This
This weekend, Karen is going to Wisconsin Dells, WI, for the 'women's weekend away' and Styx is playing a concert in Wisconsin Dells this weekend.
It would be cool to see, but not for $54.95, although hearing this tune live would be fantastic! Fun fact about the tune:
Anyways, knowing that Karen will be in the same city as Todd Sucherman (their drummer) led me to the following videos:
It would be cool to see, but not for $54.95, although hearing this tune live would be fantastic! Fun fact about the tune:
The composition features a number of time signature changes. The intro and outro are performed in 6/8 time, led by Shaw's acoustic guitar tracks and Dennis DeYoung's synthesizer melodies. The vocal sections of the song are in 4/4. The instrumental features a synthesizer solo in 7/4 time, before returning to 4/4 for the final chorus. After a brief intro recap, there is a brief break with two measures of 5/8 time, and then a return to the 6/8 meter, with another synthesizer solo, before fading out.

It was a busy weekend. I was offline until late last night. These are the links I sent to myself for future reference. There are links about topics such as music, drums, movies, & professional wrestling. Some may have Adult Language Considerations so consider yourself warned.

Sucherman
Alex and I left to see Todd Sucherman (Styx's drummer) at West Music in Coralville. I love attending a drum clinic. I've seen Virgil Donati, Bobby Rock, and maybe some others I can't remember. They usually talk about the same things - practice, drums as a musical instrument - and it's always refreshing to have a mini-renewal or grounding of what drummers should do as they approach their instrument. Sucherman's clinic was very entertaining and I really learned a lot. I came out of it wanting to go downstairs and play drums and to try to apply some of what he said to my own playing. He said that you should always be early and to not be grumpy - there are already enough grumpy people in the world.
Here's a couple of videos of his playing:
And, even though he's not playing drums, he's running around with an un-mic'ed tambourine in this one from the same concert as above.

Survived
What a week.
On Monday, Alex had drum lessons.
On Tuesday, I went to the NL City Council meeting to ask the city to include a trail from our neighborhood to the trails network. I was on TV. When I got home, Bill and Debbie were over so we talked to them. I was nervous as hell.
On Wednesday, Megan had piano.
On Thursday, Alex and I went out selling World's Finest Chocolate, a fundraiser for school. We stopped @ Dave and Cindy's and talked to them for awhile. Dave is going to Red Lake in Canada, fishing. He hired Alex to mow his grass while he is gone. Got home ~9, quickly finished Alex's homework and called it a night.
Last night, we went to Fred and Julie's for adult beverages. I got a call from my manager b/c a client needed some CDs overnighted because the files on the FTP site didn't work. Turned out that instead of including an entire folder, only one file had been put on the FTP site. That was corrected and life went on. Megan spent the night at Fred and Julie's with their daughter Erin.
Today, Alex and I need to make at least a start on Dave's yard - I'm contemplating bringing my mower to his house and doing the front while Alex does the back (or vice-versa) but I also think he needs to put the time in mowing to earn the $ he is being paid. From 2-4 is the Todd Sucherman drum clinic and then 5:15 Mass. I am voting for pepperoni pizza for the boys and Chinese for the girls from Hy-Vee for supper.
Tomorrow, Alex and I need to mow our yard.
Upcoming events include camping next weekend in Elkader with my in-laws. The following weekend is the Iowa v. ISU football game. That night, September 12, is the Iowa v. ISU football game and I think I am going to go to the Picador to see Inept. It's an all ages show - would like to take Megan but I don't think it will happen.
The next few weeks are going to be busy @ work too. A big project has to be released by 9/18. I was able to trim my project Bucket List to 63 because I eliminated a bunch of projects that are not progressing through the life cycle. Some are awaiting funding from clients or are assigned to a programmer, but not a high priority. I feel better about my project list now. There's still 19 weeks of work, and there are 18 weeks of 2009. My hope is to - somehow - be caught up one day in 2009, even if it's 4:59 on 12/31/9. I want to have all my backlog of projects done. I know there will be one project that will not be done, so maybe I need to qualify that a bit. I want to have all non-long-term projects completed as soon as possible.
Hopefully, the things I want to continue, continue, and the things I want to stop, stop.
