Who is playing drums on Little Suzie? If JP is playing, he left on a great note. Whoever is playing the drums beats the s*** out of them. One of Styx's better rockers even though the unholy triumvirate didn't write it.

i'll give you a hint- he's been behind the drums for over 10 years now
for the record, as good a job as they did on this one, i like the original better.

As much as I like Todd, I was hoping JP was the one banging on the drums. Chuck said in his book that John was thunder and Todd was lightning. The drums in Little Suzie sound like thunder.

yeah, but there are few drummers out there who could play that tune the way todd does. from what i recall, on glen's version, they doubletracked the drums to get that effect. todd was able to play it straight through. very impressive!

Well, I think he's playing to fit the style of the song, and that's probably what he felt it called for or was asked to do. Sadly, by the time that track was recorded I think John was incapable of playing on it. Todd did a great job walking into a situation that was probably uncomfortable in some ways.
I hope all is well.
