[HS32153]

Y'all know that's Lupe's drummer right.

[snowdjagha]

@HS32153 thats not LUPE'S drummer. that drummer belongs to a band called 1500 or nothin. and lupe just play live with this band. so, thats not lupe's drummer.

[LupeJustinian]

i love how a single drumkit turned a room full of grown men into a room full of gawking children. this drummer is a magician!

"he's having fun"

[cstopho]

8 ppl are haters

and cant play the drums at all. 

[Emagick77]

ppl on hear keep saying that tony royster smashes ppl, i would bet that most you guys are mediocre drummers and you cant name ren drummers besides tony royster....so here's what ill do for all of you idoits...look these names up and comeback and let me knoe if you feel the same...these modern drummers have plenty of chops put no pocket, one thing i will say about tony is he has impeccable timing and he fast as hell...look these names up

[MrJuliustillman]

[fmbighair]

the name of the drummer is "1500?" great chops...

[AvesterO1]

@fmbighair 1500 or Nuthin is the group name

[Cleofis23]

@fmbighair The Drummer goes by "BAM"

[Darkknight39]

6:04 

[snowdjagha]

the guy filming... is he a retard??? why tha fuck is he laughin????

the dummer is playing like hell and he's laughing!!

[weedkiller10]

@snowdjagha He's laughing in amazement, astonishment of the quality of the skills involved...

[wordup1]

Hold up man, I thought they said Gerald Heyward played on this track?

[rockin982]

@wordup1 Gerald played it @ the Grammy's (or VMA's - can't remember which) and if you listen to the track it sounds like it would be Gerald but it was 1500. You can hear the exact licks that are on the track in this session.

[casanodrums]

this dude kills me! whew

[jackyjonesy123]

you tore this up boy lol

[sodacan7]

this nigga cold.. i been drumming for 21 years im 24 yea im good.. but thats besides the point to all yall hatas this nigga can play.. dude is butta.... and stop compairing him to tony.. tony is a prodigy.. just like hendrix they came out the wound highly skilled.. that dont mean other people not cold at their musical crafts

[casanodrums]

RIIIIIIIIDICULOUS

[TheBeatSmith]

I mean really go at it....none of that 200 notes in 2 beats crap....some real playing....that adds push to the song......I think thats where both 1500 and Tony make their statement.

[TheBeatSmith]

OK...so 1500 is Bam Alexander....right???? ..... I like this guy's thoughts on his fills....he has very little to orchestrate the fills but he makes due....I think given the same setup...Tony would be equally as impressive....there is a good reason both were choosen to play. Anybody got a drumless track of this....Man I would love to hear some of you cats play and add your thoughts to this track.....

[prenecker]

Man you killin Rosyter

[tetnywna]

i like this brotha better than Tony playing this song..

[RETARDSTRENGTH510]

bruh is killin it YEEEEEEE

[marliemillionz]

he nasty with it!!!

[bigdude786]

what kind of china is that

[iceagekc]

Hands Down! Tony Royster, John Blackwell, Eric Moore& Questluv!!!! Greatest of All-Time! Bam is coo...But Tony Royster is a Genius!!!!

[fogg787]

I don't know about Royster... He is just Quick... He Don't time travel at all... Not at all... Most of his stuff is just 32nd note fills in 4's 8's or' 16 bars etc... No foot work without having a double pedal... He's not philisophical enough, just basic but fast.... I know a hella lotta more cats that will crush him... I prolly could honestly. I play pro as well

[soufsydemedia]

@fogg787 --Case and point ur NOT gettin $1500+ a session to bang out with A-List Platinum artists...bottom-line,STOP the hatred--dude is NICE--he got mega chops.

[fogg787]

@soufsydemedia Yo you need to re-read my comment brother cuz I wasn't hating on no one, I was saying that I like Bam's licks better than T. Royster's. But best believe I will be getting my paper soon pimpin...

[E31994]

@fogg787 Hey man Post a vid so we can see u drummin to show me what you got or something to crush royster. :) I see there is a vid on ur page but u say that was ur sorry days.

[fogg787]

@E31994  Alright A.S.A.P.

[erickeithwinkfield]

thats fye!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rogersat]

im sorry, im gonna get tons of thumbs down, but compared to tony royster and lots of other top gospel guys, some of these fills are sloppy.

[slykwitit]

@rogersat sorry, just saw Tony Royster, Im still going for this dude...

[WillyGuitarHero]

BAM IS DA DOPEST!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

I LOVE BAM! haha HELL YEAH!

[BlackSoulent]

@analys84 i know right!!! who ever filming laughing everytime buddy do a roll!

[markalisman]

he got dem licks ..n dem cymbals is dyin! lol..

[Analyze84]

all yall who are trippin out over this drummer no nothing about real music .... watch jazz and educate yourself on what it takes to be a musician (PLEASE READ THIS!!!!! the drummer is nice as hell, but at the same time he is a musician not a producer) (THIS IS THE WAY MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE)

[mrdeedz1]

Dude behind the camera is enjoy 1500's breakdowns too much!!!!!!!!

[ViscaBarca757]

HAHAHA 6:46 XPLAINS IT ALL

[BMI07]

LMBO right

[ishereal03]

[flyboyphili]

[3z1up]

GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!....LMAO......Them drums is praising god right now lol

[DJSIMPLYP]

[Nile505]

1500 what? Is that his name?

[bammin36]

NO, BAM ALEXANDER

[rmaynard626]

1500 is the amount of beats per second he could play.

[wyndell84]

he did that with a three peice set, shame

[AKjeepXJ]

damn

[FourTwentyOG]

Oh shit....

[10marstars]

j-z is a sick rapper, but I aint a rapper.

i am a drummer so the beats become the rhymes, if you can get what i mean- do u overstand at all????

[YoungerRedeem]

TONY ROYSTER RIPPED THIS SONG

[VicenteKidd]

Tony owneddddd thiss

[MileHighBoys]

He killed that. Videos like this make me just thank God for the ability to hear.

[IABLCKMAN]

I feel you there this shit was just beautiful

[Neofcon]

Would've been 100% good without them mother fuckers laughing and shit.

[jrock162000]

yo this guy is sick but man tony is that nigga real talk

[mattkirkhamm]

he has insane skills ye, but some times his fills go on too long and it takes away from the groove

[dsbounce]

They're in the studio not performing. You have to try things.

[SUPERSNARE09]

NASTY N CLEAN LOL KEEP DA GOOD WORK

[steve2275]

its a headless drummer

lol

good stuff gentlemen

[iHustle59]

yea tony royster killed this song on tour wit jay-z....it aint nobody better

[Emagick77]

@iHustle59 look these names up... Aaron spears, George " spanky" McCurdy, Chris Dave, Jojo Mayer, Dennis chambers, Chris Coleman, Dave Weckl, Thomas Lang.....and after you look these guys up comeback and talk to me, if you still feel the same then i know you're just royster groupie and not a drummer that loves drumming

[Empha84]

@Emagick77 Dennise Chambers lives in my home town B MORE

[tgib9755]

I dont know too many people on earth who have licks like that BIG BAM is one of the best!! Jay-zs drummer on tour couldnt even hold a candle to BAM.......

[dustinfromstein]

dude ur crazy, tony royston jr. owns big bam!!!

[simonmjensen]

lol very funny at 4.57 hahahahaha :D

laughing my pants off.

he isnt that good! :D

[a7x1c234]

wow what an overreaction at 4:57

[devmanboarder990]

bull shit, that was a sick run

[speart7]

Bam, the drummer for 1500 or nothing is the one who is playing the drums in this video but Tony Royster Jr is the one plays the drums for that song for jay z when he was on tour... cant get that mixed up.... tony royster aint that big lol

[KillaKam713]

u must suck at drums to say some shit like this!

[KillaKam713]

i mean to confuse the two..sorry for confusion

[paranoidgoldfish]

*goes and practices*

[SnareMagician]

Jizz in my pants at 4:55

[dsection713]

1500!!

[mrTooKanSam]

WTF WHERES HIS HEAD

[AvesterO1]

@mrTooKanSam glass glare lol

[patchanceprod]

@mrTooKanSam Too much headbanging I guess :(

[mbeatz1]

@mrTooKanSam There is a curtain in the background in the studio, that produces a mirrorimage on the window, which just covers his head

[TRIGOFGETPAID]

wtf can he hit the shit right and on point....that nigga wack work on hittin the licks without fuckin up.

[rmentje]

tony royster junior is the drumplayer of that song!!!

[586roddy]

no he not

[alexhammond11]

it's kennieth alexander

[milkman14141414]

look it up when he played at glastonberry (not sure if thats the spelling lol) it was tony royster jr look up the video and you will seee :D

[enzomdrums]

he is jay's drummer now but he's not the player in this song.... he played this song in the concert that you said... i saw it

[jon314jon]

it was really bam for the recordin but tony does all the touring... this is the actual makin of the song.

[zacholden08]

4.50 THATS THE LICK

[wesnile07]

yeah thats at the end of the song

[mrcogp]

so hes the drummer on the song for real

[BMI07]

yes sir BAM IS A BEAST!!!

[bammin36]

THANK YOU

[prettythuggi]

if anybody worders how ppl get arrogant, they usual have friends like that. He sounds cool but I can do with out the commentators.

[mrallpurpose]

I must admit; I thought Bam's licks were the greatest ......until I heard TR Jr on this track. Now Bam's lick sound sloppy. No disrespect to Bam though--dude is still a beast. I guess it's kinda like thinking a Cadillac or Corvette is the greatest car on earth....til you jump in a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini.....

I will concede--TR Jr is GOD.

Just MO......

[BasementChampions]

Yeah, same. When I first heard this song I thought Just Blaze just chopped up some great drum samples and put them together well. I didn't know Bam went in the studio and added these sick licks. They are great, but TRJ is a lot cleaner/more crisp.

[YungTriff]

who is trj????

[BasementChampions]

Tony Royster, Jr.

[VicenteKidd]

An amazing ass drummer :P

[hyperblade69]

the two fills played between 4:35 and 5:00 are the last two played on the final version of the track

[fadim93]

headless drummer

[PJLBoxBreaker]

who is the drummer?

[Odub86]

Bam is the drummer and the production crew is 1500 or nothin'

[BMI07]

1500!!!!!!

[ajl101889]

he jus spazzed on the drums hard body!!

[patmooneyfunk]

this is sickk!

[WolfgangTheArchitect]

this was one of the sickest beats Just did. the track is off the wall. the drummer is extremely talented. and obviously jay-z liked it. it made his album and it was playing during the super bowl and on budweiser commercials. like it or not. it was hot.

[PoorBlackJesus7uP]

YEAH WE FUCKING SEE IT!!

[mrmckee1]

BAM IS SICK ON DRUMS!!!!!!!

[josh4drum]

straight BURNT

[josh4drum]

fast but really sloppy...

[wtr2a01]

"Josh4drum", put out a clip of you playing the drums, and then you can talk about Tony...then we can determine what your definition of what "sloppy" really is. Tony's the truth - what do you want to bet that he's better THAN YOU???

[Kevbox2008]

Why do so many people think "fast" equals "good"?? Anybody with a little speed can play "quick" on some cheap "out-of-tune" drums. That doesn't make them good. I'm not hatin'. I'm just stating the facts. I'm not impressed.

[dbosakamojo]

"I'm not hatin" must be another word for it now cause i see that a lot in comments. How does one know the drums in this clip are for 1. cheap and 2. out of tune. Let' see when uploading on youtube the sound quality and even the video quality will be affected. To make a long story short. YA HATIN!!! BOTTOMLINE!!

[Kevbox2008]

You don't need an IMAX Digital Sound System to hear if your drums aren't tuned. You're an idiot. Please don't waste my time and take up space in my email with stupid stuff like this. My time is very valuable to me.

[jjabost20]

i hate when people say "im not hating" when a hating comment comes out their mouth. the dude is talented.if he wasn', he wouldn't be in the studio

[excellentjobsir]

Yeah, you are hating. And I was just thinking about how bad his toms sounded...but hey man. This guy can play. Note his relaxed form. Note the syncopation and utter complexity of his fills, especially involving hi hat and bass drum patterns. Note that he doesn't miss a beat. Sure anyone can play fast. This is more than speed. I'm a drummer, and I'm hard to impress, but this guy does it. Stop hating.

[wtr2a01]

Okay, we can tell what your level of expertise is on the set. Tony Royster is "crem de la crem" - he can play on a set of garbage cans [one handed] and still get a deal faster than you can. Why are so many people hating on this cat? The man is blessed; no doubt about it. Get that green stuff out of your eye so you can see the gifting on this boy...

[josh4drum]

dude are u confused that fat boy on the set is not tony royster bro so u get the green stuff out of your eye lol.....

[wtr2a01]

nigga i kno dat aint tony. Im respondin to yo ignant ass comment about how u said Tony was sloppy. I visited your youtube page and u some crap for real. u are nowhere near Tony's level. lol u hatin ass nigga!!!!

[josh4drum]

oh my bad bro but i said the guy on the set was sloppy lol...i know tony good ive seen him since i was small and he came out on modern drummer...its all good bro yes i know i suck thanks

[paulmuntean]

I can't believe knobody know the tha of the drums he's playing.

[paulmuntean]

What's the name of the drum kit ?

[DRUMMERNIGGA]

4:55-4:58 sick lick

[psalm150and4]

The comments by the self appointed drummer aficionados notwithstanding, dude's lick @ 4:55 is SICK period.

[CluchPLayer]

Good God, yall talented foreal, and thats from another talented producer as well Firestarterz

[Drumstix49]

for some rason im not impressed, i feel like his fills are off timing a bit towards the end of them, and also the fills are very random on the toms, they don't flow in an opening or close. Tony Royster is much better, and i know 1500 has been in the game a while, but his timing is severely off, don't be fooled with his "speed"

[Edelkacke]

his timing aint off, but i do agree that it doesn't "flow". but at a certain level drummers can't be "better" than others, they just develop different styles. and i dont like his.

[CaramelEarl]

Yeah I agree. Timing isn't an issue. Its his playing style. He likes to do alot of counter beats. His syncopation and the way he plays out the pocket kinda makes it sound odd, plus the track itself. But I agree....Tony Royster is that dude...

[Drmstrack]

That really looks like Eric Moore on the drums. I bet a million bucks thats who's shedding in there

[ricabataim]

genious

[snapking12]

4:41-4:58 was that crucial sht i always rewind on the cd!

[RTjman]

Hahaaaaa, his last fill of the song, i know exactly which one u talkin about! lol!

[mackalotta]

my goodness. dude is wicked.

AND he did 3 takes plus..

MANN!!

LOVE.

San Antonio TeXus

[Demetriwalker]

He was sheddin on this track. Lol.

[ronnizamov96]

just blaze looks like a fat ass lol

[JustinBlazzzee]

thats not blaze on the drums retard lol hes fat but not nearly THAT fat

[ProphetVictory]

he WAS fat. he trimmed down to a pretty small frame back in 2005 or something. get with the times man...

[JustinBlazzzee]

[figorocks]

a true swagga

[gedbeat15]

damn!!!!! 4:51-5:00
