Guitarist, Adrian Galysh, has enlisted Styx stickman, Todd Sucherman, to contribute drums and percussion to his new record, \u201cTone Poet\u201d. 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. <\/p>\n
Galysh, described as \u201cA virtuoso of modern electric and acoustic guitar techniques\u201d by 20th Century Guitar magazine, has been dazzling California audiences for over a decade, whether he\u2019s backed by his band or as sideman for ex-Scorpions guitar legend, Uli Jon Roth. <\/p>\n
\u201cTone Poet\u201d is Galysh\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n
With \u201cTone Poet\u201d, Galysh\u2019s tasteful guitar work and compositional style are still front and center, but will now have one of the industry\u2019s most respected drummers laying down the grooves. So respected that 2012 saw Todd Sucherman win multiple categories in DRUM! Magazine\u2019s reader\u2019s poll, including\u00a0 #1 DVD (Methods and Mechanics II), #1 Clinician, #2 Rock Drummer, #2 Book (Methods and Mechanics Transcription Book).\u2028\u2028In addition, Modern Drummer\u2019s 2012 reader\u2019s poll clocked him in at #2 DVD (Methods and Mechanics II), #3 Prog Drummer, ranking next to Neil Peart and Mike Mangini!<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
According to Adrian, \u201cI\u2019ve known Todd for about 10 years. We were neighbors in Los Angeles before he moved to Texas. We\u2019ve discussed working together for a long time, but due to his busy tour schedule and the distance (I still live in LA), we weren\u2019t 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.\u201d <\/p>\n
Galysh continues, \u201cTone Poet is my most mature album. I\u2019ve written a very melodic, musical, collection of tunes, that includes my progressive hard rock influences, classical and world-music influences. Todd\u2019s playing is right in sync with where I am at, musically.\u201d <\/p>\n
