Tony Royster Jr

[themesiah99]

@VcUb3mAsT3r613 Yes of course! I don't know how I forgot him. Just watched a long drum solo from him yesterday!

[harold34211]

Wat are the things in front of his basses

[TheMASDrummer]

@harold34211

sub woofers

[barneylover64]

clearly a great drummer but the drum set just sounds incredible does anyone know what kit and what snare that is from dw because it is literally the best drum set I've ever heard. The snare sounds perfect

[themesiah99]

The only drummers that constantly amaze me are Danny Carrey from Tool, Andrea Vadrucci, and Tony Royster Jr. If all jazz had drumming like this I'd be a huge fan. You're a beast Tony, keep it up!

[shagrath333]

@themesiah99 good choices

[VcUb3mAsT3r613]

@themesiah99 what about neil peart he is one of the greatest drummers of all time

[crystalandytabla]

awesome drummer.... but geez the snare sounds like a piece of tin

[beastrevor]

fuck this nigga can play

[formaset]

Very tasty.Not a lot of Hip hop going on...

[musicalfazz]

Tony is one mean cat on the drums.

He's musical & creative. Tonys just got it happen. Enjoyable to watch, thanks for uploading.

[jts024]

they get off a little at 1:45

[formaset]

You are right.

[yoyotony28]

Just Shut Up

[AuDIoSenCraTIc]

holy shit balls....this guys amazing

[brycesizzle122591]

Anyone know how old he is here??

[sebastiaopv95]

Maybe 20...

[Rhythm6of6Hell6]

class '85...so he's 22/23 now

[wardop]

Hey, Tony is just too Bad!

Thanks 4 posting.

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

hes one of the only drummers other than travis barker, that ive seen, wth one floor tom to his left. dont hatemail me i know theres no comparison.

[xGaudiumx]

ha... nice disclaimer! gotta throw that out there just to save yourself the nonsense.

[karna1987]

Mike Portnoy on i think LTE drum setup :)

[partyboyrocks69]

actually travis has it on the right

[atylerplai]

actually there are a lot of drummers that use two floor toms, one on each side. just saying

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

snare is beautiful

[rorey77]

MOTHER OF GOD!

[4u2b1ib12]

Hey, one of you trap-cats, I need your help. The bass drums look double-stacked. How is that set up?

Thanks.

[LukeNervous]

the end pieces are subwoofers.

[4u2b1ib12]

Subwoofers? Like speaker subs?

[LukeNervous]

no, they are subwoofers...

[mikelin23]

i would feel so sd to be in his band, all the attention is for tony hahaha

[zdorne]

its not a kind of music. fool. its a drum solo. hence the video of the drummer

[metzykid]

hahha good point, but if you look closely, you can see certain techniques from certain genres. I have an ear for catching these, and knowing what genre he is drumming to.

[metzykid]

man, not really my kind of music, but amazing drumming.  Even if I hated that kind of music I would still have to say that that was some of the best drums...

[urcoolcoolcool]

this is called Kick

[MacedonWarrior]

nice chops tony.....keep it up man...

[wardop]

Totally Awsome!

Thank you 4 posting!

[ScotptimusPrime]

Ugh. That looks soooooooo fun

[irondaddymac]

he's such a monster player, but this music is so ... so boring. I'd love to hear him play a funk or r&b standard or something that isn't just "look what an awesome drummer I am" music... anyone else feel the same? Again, I love the guy I think he's a monster, so no dis intended...

[ryman1230]

i think theyre playing this type of "look at me, im awesome" song to show of tony royster jr.'s talents. im sure they have other songs that are much more well-suited for the entire band.

[musicallytoned1]

yea ummm it is HIS DVD!!!. lol

[jumborat12]

My dream is to see Tony Royster JR and Ron Jarzombek jam together

[ryourhm]

tony is the best!! love his snare

[tdr32835]

so creative

[Shabadoop]

he could mess up 50 times and hed still be insanely good

[ddsamuels]

was dat a mess up [4rm 1:42-1:46] lol

[groethej]

No.

[isaacleedrums]

Yep. If its not a mess up someone please explain what he is doing there then. =) SOunds to me like he got off by a 16th for a bar. It happens. Everyone messes up, no matter how godly they are.

[masterexploder83]

not a chance man. That's what you call chops.

[tellezluis]

Is this from some DVD???

[ZiljianK]

Its from Pure Energy, its pretty good

[doublephantom2]

uhhh sike, its amazing and its not just " pure energy" do you even drum? and if so you must not be good or know anything about it too say thats all energy. You could shoot up testosterone and you wouldnt be able to do that.

[Francislikesdrums]

no i mean its from his DVD called "Pure Energy" lol.

[doublephantom2]

oooo my bad I see lol, btw did you change your profile name, I really want to do that lol.

[kingoshane]

Tony Royster is the best

[JAG214]

This is the drummer for Jay-Z

[partyhatsteve]

nope. jay-z is the singer for tony royster Jr. lol

[greendanian]

lawl

[csdrew34]

i know he did a few things with him, u know if there is any clips of him and jz, i know hes got that one "show me what u got" real shitty version but insane chops, but anything else

[UTuberSandwich]

ok what about a tony royster vs. aaron spears video? lol I'm curious to know what some of you think about that match-up.

[TamaSlamma]

Love the fusion double kick...

sweet..

[UTuberSandwich]

tamaslamma I've heard some harsh criticism of some of Tony's music selections and now finally here you come with pretty much the same comment I posted a year back. lol

[josiahburnsred]

i wish he had a different snare.

[AlbiK100]

That's Your opinion. For me this snare sounds great

[SKTct8]

are u kidding me? that snare is perfect

he is simpily one of the best

[GangastaRonin]

i want to see him and spanky shed together. dat would be HOTT!

[klj1204]

Awesome i Like His rolls and his control

[Blink1o8o2]

it just rocks

[ilcapocuoco]

100% from mars

[justin1067]

wat song is this

[bullet1rose]

boring song to play synth and bass and stuff t but the drums rocks

[zxflam22]

this song is meant to showcase the drums.. which is why tonys doin all those sweet fills overtop of the simple loop the rest of the guys are playin...

[THSdrummer01]

i like the way he has everything tuned, and his funky style......over all i think he's just rediculous! (in a good way of course)

[ZhasX3]

you know some people actually think he was better as a kid and sucks now =/

sad.... especially seeing that in this video he's doing far more in one fill than most drummers do on entire f*cking albums!

sad

where lack of talent can be seen as 'originality,' a very lost and overused term...

[RatedRKOSuperstar19]

mad untrue cuz u get better by practice .... i play percussion wayy better than i did wen i was younger =]

[byecricketboy]

Is this a song or more a canvas for Tony's drumming?

[AlwaysInMotion]

I guess it's more a canvas. Who knows ? It sounds like one.

[jrog22]

canvas

[cmatthews926]

I love his style. So FuNkY.

[sindri3]

Positive person makes him so great a wonderful player put Dennis chambers and Tony williams together and you have Tony Royster jr

[Amebixfan]

Wow, his style emulates tony williams SO much

[ice0015]

I love his snare, it sounds great

[lilcruse38]

yep his set is a killer..he has diffrent 1's tho

[cuzzo005]

his set is incredible. it sounds perfect

specially that snare

[MuziqSoul114]

I agree with you, that set he has, sounds amazing. I'm still trying to get my set to even sound decent.

[LLAMAL0RD]

totally agreed. amazing tuning job

[1Drummer88]

this guy is the sickest drummer out there ... he was pro at the age of 12 and know he is just sick .... and he is still young ... how will he be in 30 years ? Still a human beeing or some cind of future drum machine

[Henw]

1:45 the band kinda fucks up hahah tony smiles

[uriangatobataclan]

He's so precise, he scares me... I mean... Wow it sounds so tight.

[MajicTrix527]

Chris Adler better watch out.

[muhammadmuheim]

yes.. they respect that he is the featured musician and are playing in the pocket for him to show off.. hats off to them...

[scrapingteeth]

He's a really special musician that can play any style. Dazzling cat. You can really hear Dennis' influence, but he's definitely his own man.

[lnksilver5]

i said he should play in a metal band, cause his feeling is really awesome and his doube-bass, skills....

he should try to play some metal :)

[lnksilver5]

this guy sould play in a metal band....

[noonward]

nah he'd probably rather play good music

[lure951]

he is unnaturally good

(and has great taste in drums)

[mattcowzer]

my favourite drummer

[Spoken]

easisly the second best drummer after dennis chambers

[kieranlowe1980]

I think the band are just playing for him to show off, and he does that well!!!!

[drummerbean101]

W0W!!!!!!!enough said lol

[lilmasterarj]

yeah i dont like his band... but he is a really good drummer!

[e1iseu]

[Goku1337]

[Jairlenereis]

[MixaxiM]

The first 4 bars of the intro are real similar to what Dennis did on the "in the pocket" video.

[drugmonks]

the band aint gd enuf for him! lol

[doubts]

Love it, but maybe vinnie strikes the drums better? sorry to be an arse about such talent. he better than me

[junbatterra]

Esse Cara é Muito Ladrão Nessa Batera

Ele Toca pra Caramba Não Vejo Melhor até Agora

[todinho159]

[omariheart33]

A never-ending cycle, eh?

[Foxcover]

Hey c'mon - lightn up:- How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb?

[wolfy18]

-_-

[CMSdline]

Well..It Is Tony's band..

[drummafagod]

yALL jus hatin

[Grajiin]

whats music without a good beat

[SraMurphy]

este wey tiene un chingo de gusto al tokar muy buen batako exelente

[sakiroo7]

tony and i are the best drummer yeah baby

[bladfin]

zentera1, then you should have exact same feeling about Dave Weckle, too.

[zentera1]

Tony Royster Jr = Over drumming. i would hate to be in a band with him, there is more to drumming than this yeah he is a great drummer but too much. does he know what a groove is? lol

[ProblemAudio]

I will agree, there seems to be less music than drumming (not dismissing drumming as anything other than music, but you know what I mean), it gets really boring fast.

[mapexdrummer65]

this he is because its a jam session for himy ou dumb fuck listen to his band lazyeye he plays drums not soloing the whole tie before you wanna make a remark about a drummer either a be a drummer or b know the drummer your talking about

[zentera1]

Not really if he is in a jam session then that is for the whole band, and i am a Drummer so fuck you!

[mapexdrummer65]

hey fucker i am too see my fucking name retard thats not his band thats is a jam band for his playing knwo your shit before you talk bitch

[skits17l]

yo its his band he used for the pure energy DVD i have it, ITs made by DW, You should check it out, Its amazing

[metalheaddrummin]

im a drummer 2 im in a band calleed adrenelin chec k us out im sure well have a vid up soon

[ksinged]

its not a jam session...its just him show what he can do, and breaks down sum techniques...i actually own the dvd that this is from, its like that for the whole thing...

[Moog167]

Tony plays for Jay-Z and if you get a Hip-Hop gig you have to stay with some sort of drum sequence...So i'm quite sure that he knows what groove is.

[1Drummer88]

anybody said that Tony Royster has no groove ? If so ...

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

funniest joke i ever heard

[drummer12345654321]

hes got the mean as crossovers

[snakeanthony11]

someone tell this dude there's more to music than drum solos. sheesh!

[phildrummer]

tony doesnt need 2 bass drums hes feet are killer

[JHPMB]

i cant get enough of that tune actually

[overtime2005]

Simply The Best

[uncleben03]

I can't wait until his CD comes out.

[italia10588]

yoyoyo the song changes after 2 mins.

double pedal in jazz.. thats pretty dman cool.

when he changes the groove up for the third time thats a fuckin hott bassline.

cant get enough of this dude.

[gred89]

wo calm down

[italia10588]

no.. thats the guys name above me "yoyoyo"

[yoyoyoson]

the song gets annoying after like 2 minutes.

[scarygarrey]

jazz is definately the hardest henre to play. i agree 100%

[pashha]

man the tom-tom's, cross, cymbals sound inredible..whenever i watch this guy a put my drumsticks on the wall.. damn he's good..!!

[Incisionator]

I saw him preform with a band : awesome.

Too bad he didn't have his big drumkit then though.

Great drummer.

[stef1801]

Tony formed a Rock band called Lazy-EYE. It premiered on the BAtman Soundtrack the track is called "GOO GOO Dolls" on the Batman and Robin soundtrack. In fact Lazy EYE's CD could be out already.

[KiernanMooney]

As much as I love rock and roll....it's the easiest style. It's the first basic beat you learn on the drums...and the real talent lies in jazz. Especially latin jazz. That shit is HARD.

And yeah...the song does kinda suck...but the point of the song is to showcase Tony's talent...so the song doesn't really have to be good. Just as long as Tony pwns those drums into submission and makes them his bitches.

[crashtv]

cybmals sound amazing :)

[crashtv]

Re the floor tom - I used to use one like that next to the snare - same sound. You need a really thin, flimsy bottom head tuned LOW and loose. Any crappy 16" floor tom will do. I'm not keen on his bass drum sound here - a bit clinical. Damn I'm nowhere NEAR this standard after playing for 25 years! HA! Shitty old song though, innit?

[Anonimo2006]

telamamo.net:S

[Shadsapirate]

Guys a beast.

Still, I'd like to see him play some Rock once in a while.

[queencee1]

What are the tom-tom tops he has on his tom-tom? How does he make them sound like that including bass drum?

[babalaguchi]

hey...hes usin a nice drum head that dw released last year...:D....ill give ya a better drum head to use evans released it 2 or 3 years ago...its really nice for toms if you want EVANS hydraulic..and for your snare EVANS genera dry..its really nice...and tune it your style

[xTragicNoDoubterx]

thanks for uploading, hes one amazing drummer =)

[Guiguic]

He's one of my favourites ^^

[Heartcollecter]
