[PVDPMC8]

Mr Tony Royster Jr!

we gotta love the haters<3 you guys make my day :)

[HOwawieRD]

ado???

[boontlank]

A beast! gud work...back then..he's 21 now!

[rack1508]

whats the name of the first song?

[djiido]

why that stupid soundtrack?

[Triniboy1222]

I def agree with the old school video game comment... i also think its sound like some asian gameshow music

[DaMadScientist305]

WOw He shows a little bit pocket on here.

[mainframe922]

This kid is awesome and to think thirty minutes ago I thought I was a badass drummer. he puts me to shame

[lilnefew04]

and just to think thid vid is super old

[musicman13cj]

does anybody think that some of the music sounds like video game music from back in the day? lol

[maartenvanderpoll]

:-))))))

[streetzac]

this dude is the best drummer i ever heard in my life. this was when he was young! check him out now!

[Innatbih]

This is like the elevator music of the future lmao. Tony is definitely a BEAST. It aint no gettin around it.

[katiepanic]

what an amazing talent- I could play 24/7 and never play this stuff , natural ability ,hats off to a champion drummer

[joedagimp2]

I have a electric drum kit with real cymbals too.

[TheBoondockSaints]

I wish Dennis Chambers was my illegitimate father

[residue102]

Look! The important thing is not to tell another person their opinion is wrong, cause maybe its not. The important thing is to accept their opinion and forget about it straight away

[hagemkj929]

its weird, he was probably more famous younger than he is now. either way, hes awesome

[F1N1SHEDD]

haters stfu. he is good DONE my word over everyone elses of course.. so believe me

[RonHygh]

It's a shame that there are so many haters out there of course it's programmed but his skills are far advanced and his clean stickwork is crazy.............only 10% of you garage band drummers can go head to head with him..........I'll put my money on him at 12 years old against a lot of you...........

[hagemkj929]

i would put money on him when he was 7 man

[beatfreakish]

It's sad how many drummers hear a guy like this and criticize him. What are they so afraid of? What were you doing at 17 years old? It sucks you'll soon be 50 and still can't do what that cat can do doesn't it? Can't you just be happy for him, instead of jealous? Someone said he has no feel. I wonder what they sound like playing pre-recorded Latin fusion on an electronic kit.

[chud89]

well the music is input into the computer its an electric roland drumset i have one and i jam to all these songs that hese jamming to great help feels like ur playing with a band there hundreds of songs so ull never get bored

[Illogicalibrium]

I really dislike his playing. Always have. He has amazing skill, no doubt. I just find no true emotion and passion behind what he doing. He is just a hot shot.

[Spoken]

basically ur mad because hes better thanu without trying ...it shows

[tuttskifruttski]

So, just because you have a "negative" opinion on someone who's a bit younger, you are you wrong? Please. Just shut up.

[residue102]

eye c ur point.

[malandro2311]

todos son marikos

[lileulileu]

If I knew all of such stuff at 17 years, then it should make sense to do smt different or smt more at the age of 24... but... nothing special really - it looks like playing all the same stuff for years...which is not smt special really. But what a technique?... The same old technique.) Don't get mad at me.)

[omegafusion0530]

is there a term or word to search for that music playing on the background? drumless music? haha

[17teacmrocks]

so who's better? tony royster or jr?

[snairsucker13]

dude tony royster jr's dad is a guitar player. haha.

[Canizarezqw]

i wonder what his doing now?

[Drumdream]

i have the same chinese.. sounds so good

[blackoath]

practice until you die then you would be rescognised as a big one.

[chejota]

The kid has got a lot of talent, but the choice of latin to display it, is way out of his domain!, he misses a beat twice, sounds really average.., latin beat is in the blood...listen to Latin Jazz.. Tito Puente or Richie Ray..

[Spoken]

this dude did circles around tha tlatin shit hes has sfrican his blood we birth latin

[musicman13cj]

wow what a hater. Out of that whole clip all you can say is he misses a beat twice? Either way the dude is a beast he is only 17 in this clip he has a lifetime to learn whatever it is your trying to say he doesnt have. lol

[jmr2master]

The hater is incorrect.

It wasn't Tony who missed the beat it was the drum set. You can see him hitting beats and the drums not triggering when he does his fills near the end of it.

[asdfghjklsin]

what a monster! no offense, but it's really AWESOME!!! Cheers. ;)

[pakoportnoy]

tony royster ooohh señorr mis respetos

[BWhizzy4U]

he is a way better drum player thsn me and im older than him...this boy was killin the drums like crazy.just look at all the cymbals he got.WOW!!!!

[sickpack82]

like the sound of that chinese up right :-)

[MikeyFlorida]

wtf song is this video music lol

[southaustinmom]

Not bad, I like the way an awesome drummer like you incorporates the brightness in his beat and it isn't just one big drum solo. I like the origionality.

[Grajiin]

not liking the chineese cymbol, sounds like a bin lid lol

[987654321789456123]

i like the solo he did when he was a kid...he did good here but it didnt aways go with the music..and he needs to stop holdin back

[corpser6666]

the song sucks but he's a great drummer

[smirnofangel]

wtf ? i searched for THOMAS LANG and roysterc does not dserve to be any where near langs video's

[CMSdline]

This isn't the best he can do..he only played those demos so the guys could get a taste of what he does.

[erstwhiler]

sweet

[Nateytracks]

seannn90...you're hilarious. Tony is such a beast, and he's much better than he's even showing. He was just doing a demo for those dudes.

[drumerpnkrrockr5]

pretty good drummer for his age.. i give him credit.. stuff he does though is pretty easy if you practice it.. just a lot of counting and rudiments

[Sicko0o]

Yup, that's all it is. Especially with Tony.. he's a very rudimental-heavy player like myself. But regardless he is a great player. =]

[ace76543]

everything is easy if you practive enough...so you arent really saying anything

[MikeyFlorida]

yup.. that's all anything is.. rudiments, counting and practice. what a dumb statement.

[boeingman777]

I disagree slightly with the "everything is easy if you practice enough"... You have to be talented to reach certain levels or practice won't do you any good. It goes back to the expression "some have it, some don't". This is why some drummers are recognized as the best, some aren't. ;-)

[DreamTheater4life]

WOW YOU'RE GAY

[Mikedreamita]

Always spectacular video and drummer!

[Jhonata157]

veivai te lasca tuh tka d+

[pananadadrummer]

kingplay334, no you cannot play like that. if you think you can play like that then send in a video of proof other wise i dont believe you at all.

[bonzo21290]

kickass, he'll make a living off of this soon

[drummer75604]

Prety cool. Looks like it ws all just spur of the moment. Kid has some of the fastest hands I have ever seen. No doubt the kid can play!

[kingplay334]

I COULD PLAY THAT AND IM 13

[kimz4188]

youve seen his video when he was 12? probably not, he does better stuff there. and yeah, he's already 20something.

[billsteer]

Sure!Why dont u post a video?

[seannn90]

If you can play like that, I will eat 7 aeroplanes an 6 truckengines (including petrol), then I will burst out in a spontanious flush of joy and sing a full oprah in the ghetto. If by then I still have no doubt that you can actually play that well I will go into my back yard and in stead of mowing my lawn I will eat all the grass and then dig a hole by eating the soil. Looking forward to seeing your video.

[musicman13cj]

Wow that was so funny I have not read anything that funny in a while were did you come up with that? lol

[IhmeUkko]

That´s awesome! Hope he keeps up the keeps up the good work...

[overtime2005]

don't you all get it? different styles is what makes him who he is today....

[jafadrummer]

that china sounds like wolverine doin a power up or sum shit

[booeytre]

I think he does what many women do: prostitution. It is so sad to see this talented young guy demoting himself....

[Sicko0o]

And it's even more sad to see jealous indiviuals who feel the need to sit around on their fat ass writing pointless comments about people who could play circles around them. Seriously, no one cares just please GTFO. kthxbye. =P

[1337jazzdrums]

hes so good, but i dont really like the videogame sounding style

[masterhaichanchu]

he's hardly grown in 5 years. :0

[killz0ne88]

wow this guy owns

[AnimeHome]

Cool!

[tomm32]

I love this:D

[kalafat]

back song is disgusting

[neildavid]

yea right!

[Roodypoo999]

Haha! It sounds like a street fighter soundtrack! Kick arse drumming though!

[tuttskifruttski]

Oh my god what idiots. It's a freakin electric kit! You can even see him changing the sounds of the kit and also the songs he's playing.

[Tyrell76]

Fucking japanese e-drums... i bet these triggers only recognized 50% of the notes he played :)

[setroth]

i hate that kind of music in the background

[DanielDrumvh]

it really sounds like a electronic kit, so it is.

[Crizkut]

There is no best drummer. There are too many badass drummers of too many different styles to have a best drummer. He has his own style and it's insane... you can't criticize his talents.

[Serj1200]

oh men thats terrific, totally amazing

[bozziofan01]

those drums are called hart drums

[fu475nny]

wow that background music is dogey lol

[nycdrummer23]

they are electric. hartdynamic make them look like a real kit but they are electric.

[dirtymyk]

why the fuck doesnt he go crazy like when he was little kid n e more? das fucked up

[Shaaptoof]

It's a regular drunkit with Meshheads and triggers -ish

[iamjoshhearmeroar]

im wearing the same pants as him

[hellblitz7x]

He is a living Legend its true tony is this good imagine in like another 10 years

[babalaguchi]

that is not an electronic drumset it just has black drumheads

[randomdrum]

I think judging from the sounds it is making, it's an electric kit.

[Gnardog64]

u sure they werent mutes?

[dhurley05]

it is an electronic kit you idiot. they just make them look more like drums.

[Mankey52]

wow... thats a nice electroinic drum kit there... what make is that?

[Darmikalus]

i think its from HART judging by the cymbals

[Mankey52]

Thanks :D

[babalaguchi]

its not an electronic drumset..:D...its just drums with black drum heads

[travischris911]

the dudes like 18 here and he was better than all you when he was 12 so suck my yellow ass,

[overtime2005]

The demons with the lame comments are only doing what

there master ordered them to do. Santa..ooppss..Satans

little helpers -_- 0)0 :| *)* :( @(@.,etc..LMAO@UFUKS

[cymbolcrashfama1]

he doesnt flow with the music well but still a great drummer

[azimitch]

DIRK VANDERBULCKE of belgium is the best, ask everybody!

respect mitch!

[rottenroth]

Hes fucking awesome!

[overtime2005]

my god son dude!

[forsak3n]

No drummer is ever a bad drummer. They Just Play Differently. And for his generation, Tony Royster is at the top!

[jvtwin]

The kid is top of his game. Leave it at that. Jeeeze people, get a grip!

[andrewk2286]

Danny Carey is better

[muchmerol]

...dude, please, that comparsion is just mediocre...Tool is awsome, of course, but this guy (Tony) is just amazing...by the way, are you open to listen another kind of music besides metal?...cuz I think you should!

[teraaaasy]

HE SUCK'S MY DICK

[dsnare2100]

Just cause your JELOUS!!!

[akatopengsays]

you mean "you suck his dick"

[aks0227]

So "he suck is your dick"? First of all, suck is an adjective. You don't use an apostrophe. Learn proper English. Second of all, no he doesn't.

[indajust]

fuck u

[Glittertind]

I think he does far to much rolls to that kinda music ... not that fun listening to

[moteky]

d

[FrostChao]

Every Drummer should give up!! Hahaha!! ; ; ........I give up

[Drummer4Life313]

THERE IS NO ONE SEEING TONY ROYSTER JR SIMPLE ILL PUT SOME MONEY ON THAT!!!!!!!!!

[XA2I3RX]

Are you saying that you think he's the best drummer out there? You are obviously out of the drum loop, Aaron Spears? Nisan Stewart, Derico Watson and a TON of others would take this guy to school even today and i'd go as far as to say that Brandon Godette is more advanced at his age than Tony was.
