Ronald Brunner Jr. in ZIldjian Drummers Lounge

[TaifunSmiff]

good thing hes wearin those safety goggles when killin it like that

[richieroopoopoopoo]

@TaifunSmiff hahahahahahahaha

[eltambore]

He must have just finished weedwackin'!! That explains the glasses...

[Thomasgipsy]

Insane!Something like íf Buddy Rich and Tony Williams would have a child,the new generation of drummers

[osay00]

This guy shits all over mangini.

[bucketdaweed]

@osay00 more like masterbates.

[tsobaby95]

boy i swear practice is an amazing tool as mr brunner shows here

[chefminoli]

I wonder how you guys had time to notice his clothing....

heheheh...

I was trying to find where his hands were...

[jsimmsOX]

NASTY!

[Karmakameleeon]

sometimes i wish i played drums...

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

There is no way this guy is far off from Mangini at all.

[FUPAsteve]

He's freaking amazing. But Zildjian? MEH!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@FUPAsteve

Bullshit!! Zildjian rocks!! But i also have a HH Dark crash and it sounds great too :)

[leandrodecarledias]

Oh yeah. Girls is good, but this lounge, it´s a "paradise louge"! Of course, Ronald bruner is a very nice drummer. I did like a lot this video.

[fnkdrmmr]

See more on Ron Bruner, Jr. on SoulDrummers . com

[fnkdrmmr]

Don't hurt 'em Ron, Jr.

[pewla2]

@bevodrummer With flailing arms like his he wouldnt need the glasses for re-entry he would just float safely back to earth....ha!!!

[aarondrumss]

its the glasses that do it ;)

[onesogreat77]

dude u crazy i been playing drums for 20 years i know drummers most of u reading this dont have a clue about

[Helslinky]

@onesogreat77 Try me !?

[kunga80]

Freak:))))

[ultimatefighter187]

this guy and pridgen would have one hell of a jam

[willV]

@ultimatefighter187 yes, that's the one I'm waiting to see. also, add tony royster and john blackwell

[Moog167]

@ultimatefighter187 They're both from Cali I'm sure they grew up together :)

[onesogreat77]

he gives tony a run for his money

[groopysack]

@onesogreat77 , hardly.... this guy is good, very very good... but i wouldnt exactly say he gives tony royster a run for his money... Unless you know nothing about either of these two people...then u can think what u want cause it doesnt matter.

[winnerbaby44]

I would cut off my left foot just to have lessons from him.

for real

[larkydozer]

Always wear safety glasses when drumming. You might accidentally catch a wood chip in your eye.

[Eheynike]

Laughing My Ass Off!

[ZeroXX360]

what kind of ride is that? a K custom or a hybrid?

[wwwdavemacleodcouk]

If I could play as good as that, I'd wear anything...or even nothing at all.

[SterlingRe]

I tend to agree. When you have chops like this you can wear anything you want. The brilliant playing draws a lot more attention than his flamboyant shirt.

[Danielcrspo]

wtf is he wearing? 0.0

[PrizeFighter]

clothes that say "i can dres like this and STILL intimidate you behind a kit"

[Danielcrspo]

Ok yea he's incredible but he still looks rediculous lol. Just because you can wear whatever you want doesn't meen you should lol

[jrock162000]

why are is everybody concerned about his clothes look at his fucking hands. lol wtf they are some real fags in here

[MrSteebies]

Nice sound... Did Gay Shirts "R" Us have a sale? Free white pants with every purchase of a gay shirt. Dude looks like he mugged the scrubs right off a nurse's fucking back.

[Grillmouth]

you probably get this alot, but i'll say it anyway...

shut the fuck up about his clothes you vein fuck.

[MrSteebies]

Wow, you're pretty upset over dick-shit here kid!

I surmise people also call you queer bait in passing quite a bit for your he-panties to be so disheveled over nothing. Ronald Brunner Jr. doesn't give a wet shit what anybody thinks of him, why do you?

[Freese86]

more importantly why do you? could it be you think your so funny you need some white and black from complete strangers to feel adequate?

upset doesn't quite register through youtube commenting either. and by the way, he-panties are known in my country as BOXERS, try using that one if its not to difficult.

[idadickman]

this shits badass, this mother fucker is the definition of talent, him, thomas pridgen, stanton moore, john bonham, and krupa, and not to mention ahmir thompson(?uestlove)

[drumz47]

Lets save all the bullshit comments on what he's wearing. Its about drumming and musicianship and the young brother is a very positive inspiration to me and I have been playing for over 30 years. Very nice moment Mr. Brunner. Thank you . Nuff said....Peace

[mouldeck]

that's more cymbals i've seen in my whole life at once!

[fattyeggfacedead]

that whole drumkit sounds fukin sikk

[eqagj]

A modern day Buddy Rich, in terms of speed,, precision and creativity.

[trippellol]

I saw him playing live for some months ago with Stanley Clarke. He has the SICKEST rolls I have ever seen/heard. He is just a great drummer and really energetic live!

[brycebreezy1]

i got to see RBJ in Reno a few years ago when he was with kenny garrett... i swear grown ass dudes were in there crying.. legitimate tears. he is amazing. he has the fastest hands period. however, i think id rather listen to tony royster or thomas pridgen. with cats on this level there is no use in saying who is "better" theyre all just fucking amazing. its just a matter of preference with the listener.. i wish RBJ grooved a little more and stopped shoving his incredible chops down our throat

[enzomdrums]

what the fuck is he wearing man... is he gay?

[Moog167]

Dude what he's wearing shouldn't matter or determine his orientation.....

[enzomdrums]

if that so? try wearing a dress...

[Moog167]

Very,very lame Come back dude....

[enzomdrums]

it wasn't a come back man... what you said in the first place was really stupid... i was just asking if he is gay...

[Moog167]

The reason why I said your comment was lame was because as many clips you've seen RBJ Playing on.....this is just ONE clip you saw him wearing "Gay" clothing. That doesn't make the dude gay...please don't jump to conclusions...His clothing style is real "Retro" to me but I'm not gonna lie I don't like what he's wearing in this clip but it CLEARLY doesn't affect his playing.

[iandrummer07]

dude thats pimp clothes!

[ntrakit6]

Just sick. Love to see him and Barry Alexander go at it.

[pbnut]

them hands.....they're fast.

Just making sure everyone noticed that.

[lotrcdefender]

lol

[THEFARSEER2]

THIS IS SO SICK

[sn00z0nica]

looks like ronald beat his grandma for her night gown.

[69drummerdan]

Hilarious! sn00z0nica

[jrock162000]

omg chops out the ass who gives a fuck about his attire clown.......

[ntrakit6]

Finally...thank u man!

[larkydozer]

Apparently Bruner cares about his attire enough to dress like a clown.

What's with all these gospel chops guys anyways? It's like they think they're all Britney Spears or some other pop star.

[Moog167]

Well maybe because they mostly play for those pop stars........

Plus I met some of those guys they don't think that at all.....

[keithphelpsmusic]

bruner is not like the rest of em, hes playin with chic and stanley, hes really musical

[asterothoatthaat]

what kind of hats are those?

[jesusdapnk1]

probaly zildjian K

[zacholden08]

lol has no one commented on his attire!?

[dragonspitjones]

that shirt is a little young. lol

[CLsixteen]

soooo, i guess this is what joey jordison would sound like if he had the slightest clue what he was doing...

[monkeypenios]

This guy is great!

[winnerbaby44]

ahahahahahahahahahaahahh

truuuuuuuue

[margis123]

LMFAO!!! Lol'. You ain't right!

[pntballfreek]

@CLsixteen dude, this cat right here could poop, and it would play better than joey ever could....joey is fast...thats the main thing he has goin for him...and thats about it lol

[NickolaiDP]

@pntballfreek I second that

[adambell666]

@pntballfreek yeah. but this dude is atleast 3 times faster anyway.

[teundrumhead]

@pntballfreek doe ff normaal paintballfreek.=)

[pntballfreek]

@teundrumhead dunno what ya said man lol

[teundrumhead]

@pntballfreek ah sorry dude. when you are saying your name in english, you'll here freak. lol

[pntballfreek]

@teundrumhead yeah i know dude...its a name i've used back since when i used to play paintball a lot.

[teundrumhead]

@pntballfreek ah like that.. beter play drums than paintball.! i actually meant drum-head. Later i learned drumhead is the skin of a drum.. not very cleaver. 8-|

[pntballfreek]

@teundrumhead yeah man, i don't play drums, i'm a bass player. But i can recognize a skilled player when i see one. Any idiot can bash around and make some noise, but it takes real skill to lay down a groove

[willV]

@CLsixteen no, he still wouldn't be this good, he'd just be better than now

[elguapo91]

Bruner seems like a very balanced hybrid of Tony Williams with Billy Cobham. I'd love to see him, Dennis Chambers, and Tony Royster Jr. jam together sometime.

[Oceansandblue]

isnt Ronald endorsed by sabian cymbals?

[figg51]

nope... not anymore

[sidneyblair]

sadly....

[mikerelapupif]

Who knows how is this vid old?

[ntrakit6]

Feburary of '09

[PortableCurtis]

I know I'm going to get a lot of crap for saying this, but: I don't think I've ever seen anyone play so fast, and be so relaxed about it, and pull it out so quickly.

[Ariesbetch]

the only thing ive seen that is similar to this...and I'LL probably get loadsa shit for sayin this!...is Tony Royster Jr at the age of 12. & minute solo...but i never wanted to stop it once.

x

[chucknorrispranks]

portable curtis, i played your mom even faster and didnt pull out till i felt like it....and i got alot of crap for doing it.

physically, i got alot of crap.

if it isnt obvious, im saying i did your mother in the butt.

do something.

[fennox]

I just looled all over my pants

[PortableCurtis]

Wait, what are you saying chucknorrispranks? I'm not quite sure I understood because you didn't make it very clear. Once I finally do understand, what do you think I should do about it?

[kabustard]

LMAO, great comeback P.C.!

[PortableCurtis]

Hey chuck- get a life

[delliejonut]

he plays almost like a modernized tony williams

[delliejonut]

haha this reminds me of billy cobham live at zildjian days

[jimfear2006]

can anyone tell me what drumset and what ride hes playin?

[ntrakit6]

Not sure about the kit, but the ride is a K custom ride 22'.

[Slipstream0001]

Shit he's fast!!??

[speedoflite1]

bad! ...and that's very very GOOD!

[cdc7891]

I always compare the 3 guys from the same age bracket (pridgen, royster and bruner) against each other and i always fall in favour of bruner most of the time

[soulander13]

better than tony roister jr.

[whateverman666]

Only if you like Brunner's style better than you like Royster's. Technically, they're completely different - and just as amazing for it.

[NL714]

Ronaldino.. :D

[morecowbell3230]

nice shirt hahahahahaha

[gretschdrummer1218]

holy shit

[happy30yrs]

SUPER SICK!!

Ronald's drumming is almost wilder than that tshirt!!

No wonder he was wearing safety glasses earlier in the vid.

Miami Vice anyone? LOL.

[jimfear2006]

can anyone tell me the name of the drumset hes playin? i cannot figure it out!

[Moog167]

Ronald is playing on a Yamaha kit if you want to know jimfear2006

[ZiljianK]

ys he wearing girls clothes

[liennto]

ha yea but i bet his clothes cost more than those cymbals

[jmr2master]

WOW, those much be some expensive clothes. Those cymbols are running 300 bucks a each. .

[rhysdbeast5]

isn`t he with SABIAN?

[quackbeef]

he endorsed zildjian before sabian, this is really old

[CowbellCat]

Nah, he's with zildjian at the moment because they just brought out his signature stick and he is listed on their site as an endorser.

[CowbellCat]

Nah, he's with Zildjian at the moment because they've just brought out his signature stick and he is listed on their site as an endorser.

[RWIron]

awesome like always! but lose the fro and those clothes bro.. aha still beautiful!

[dandrums1]

OMG!

[kirstyshadiac]

It must be an amazing feeling to be able to blow out chops like that - beautiful stream of notes just flyin' by....ah so jelous!

I guess i'll just have to shed more!

[marc777danielle]

dude i've got some chops if only a fraction of what he does and being able 2 freely express what u want is totally liberating.

[winnerbaby44]

what?

[marc777danielle]

why did you say what? what r u refering 2?

[phatphace]

Sounds like he draws a lot of influence from Tony Williams.

[marc777danielle]

most definately. cobhams speed and power but tonys approach

[inyo92]

im tellin he switched lol

[paulyy24]

he plays sabian. y is he in a zildjian lounge?

[marc777danielle]

he no longer plays sabians.

[paulyy24]

ohhh thanx for the update

[dartthewarrior]

when was the switch??? and look at that hair!!!

[pacificdrummer9]

the little military groove he starts at bout 2:10 is tight....

[jmr2master]

OMG Afro and a retro Micheal Jackson outfit...SICK!!!

[marc777danielle]

OOOOMMMMGGGGG!!!!!!

[Thomlistentoslayer]

no heart just hitting everything.......jojo mayer owns

[jmckenzie07]

he was just testing out the cymbals so u can't say he has no heart. This wasn't a performance.

[blacktalent20]

i agree

[ntrakit6]

Wow, i use those same glasses to do my lawn lol...

[doctaLB]

my girlfriend has a shirt just like that.

[kapdrums]

1:42 exactly.c'mon,i can play this...its not that difficult!!!

[marc777danielle]

i've seen your page and you're very good. your feel and grooves are killer. that being said, when you say that you can play what ron is playing in this vid do you mean his beats/grooves or everything he's playing in this vid (chops and all). because 2 be honest i saw none of that from you (and i've subscribed 2 your channel because as i said you're smokin!). just curious.

[kapdrums]

marc,i was just joking!!!!!....:))))

if you watch carefully at 1:42 he plays a very elementary(but great sounding nonetheless)fill around the toms...so i isolated this and said:"c'mon,i can play this"...you get it?i was tryin'to be sarcastic but maybe it didnt come across as i intended.i've never been one to put down ANY drummer(at least publicly),let alone a monster such as this guy!i hope its all straightened out.thank you very much for your interest and your kind words bout my playing!peace!

[Moog167]

until 1:50 right?

[bdrums777]

ronald bruner opened up for my homie who is the drummer for wayman tisdale. apparently, he also switched to zildjian sticks as well...

[Kabizz]

...speachless :O

[notespell]

jaw dropper! awesome

[drummrguy]

this video makes me so happy t

[kvee]

im on level 10 this is guy is on level 100... this is great stuff

[GaryStanionis]

Ron and Zildjian ,HMMMMMMM is that official?

[ifuckingownn]

Yep. It's official, I didn't even hear about it! Apparently he switched back in June.

Either way, they can put skillets and pie pans in front of this cat, and he'd still rip it. Ron's a beast.

[GaryStanionis]

I was being sarcastic. He's keping it on the DL unless you know him. I haven't seen it in MD either, usually they'll post all the new moves.....In the "Who's Playing What" section. I know Ron and he is amazing.

Blessings,

[Btolbertjr]

well he is but you're not, you just told the world lol...y the switch?

[GaryStanionis]

Yo thats funny! Just a figure of speech if you see him out he's hitin' his ZJ'S, cats know.LOL! "you got me laughing "He is but your not" Thats funny!

Thanks for the smile my man, =)

-G

[Btolbertjr]

lol

[idektron]

jesus he is good and boy he can he dress !

[winnerbaby44]

ahaha

id love to see him going to a suicide machines concert with that look

ahaha

[racheleinthehouse]

This guy rocks! He should win drummer of the year!

[drummrguy]

i agree best drummer in 2008
