Todd's music had so much detail and so many different percussion touches....it was ahead of it's time. He may have been a Runt back then, but he was indeed a Wizard.. a True Star.
Yes, he produced Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell...the only project including Jimmy Iovine, The E Street Band, Phila. Orch and Phil Rizzutto!
Saw Todd at Roseland Ballroom in NYC in the 90s. It was a round stage with a variety of percussion instruments attached to the bottom going all the way around. For the encore he passed drumsticks to about 50 audience members and they joined for Bang The Drum All Day, while he tossed condoms to the crowd. What a guy!
