Guitarist, Adrian Galysh, has enlisted Styx stickman, Todd Sucherman,
to contribute drums and percussion to his new record, “Tone Poet”.
Todd Sucherman brings to the record both world-class drumming and vast
experience. Experience which includes session credits for over 1000
radio and TV spots, as well as touring and recording with legendary
artists such as Brian Wilson, Spinal Tap, and of course, Styx.
Galysh, described as “A virtuoso of modern electric and acoustic
guitar techniques” by 20th Century Guitar magazine, has been dazzling
California audiences for over a decade, whether he’s backed by his
band or as sideman for ex-Scorpions guitar legend, Uli Jon Roth.
“Tone Poet” is Galysh’s fourth solo album, but will be the first to
include both instrumentals as well as a number of vocal tracks, ably
sung by Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Royal Hunt).
With “Tone Poet”, Galysh’s tasteful guitar work and compositional
style are still front and center, but will now have one of the
industry’s most respected drummers laying down the grooves. So
respected that 2012 saw Todd Sucherman win multiple categories in
DRUM! Magazine’s reader’s poll, including #1 DVD (Methods and
Mechanics II), #1 Clinician, #2 Rock Drummer, #2 Book (Methods and
Mechanics Transcription Book). In addition, Modern Drummer’s 2012
reader’s poll clocked him in at #2 DVD (Methods and Mechanics II), #3
Prog Drummer, ranking next to Neil Peart and Mike Mangini!
An exciting year for sure, and a great follow up to 2009 which saw
Todd Sucherman on the cover of Modern Drummer, and winning the
reader's poll for #1 Rock Drummer, #1 Educational DVD with "Methods
and Mechanics" as well as #1 Clinician in DRUM! Magazine - all while
touring the world with the multi-platinum Styx and performing drum
clinics and recording sessions from coast to coast.
According to Adrian, “I’ve known Todd for about 10 years. We were
neighbors in Los Angeles before he moved to Texas. We’ve discussed
working together for a long time, but due to his busy tour schedule
and the distance (I still live in LA), we weren’t able to do it till
now. Todd is a really tasteful drummer, very musical, with a ton of
chops - totally in league with the likes of Colaiuta, Smith, and
Bozzio.”
Galysh continues, “Tone Poet is my most mature album. I’ve written a
very melodic, musical, collection of tunes, that includes my
progressive hard rock influences, classical and world-music
influences. Todd’s playing is right in sync with where I am at,
musically.”
