Tony Royster Jr.

[adrmr]

your description says 12, he was 17 in this vid.

[RussellsParadox]

What's the big deal? I'm more than twice as old as he was then, and I can do some of that, too.

[shm1st]

what is the first tune he plays?

[shindenfudoryu]

roland td 6!!!!!!!!

[SnareBuff]

Just what I'd expect from the kid that Dennis Chambers personally taught.

[jfilho227]

Ronaldinho gaucho!!

[lowwwn]

it seem´s like an electronic one, but his cymbels are not electronic?!

[zxbcx]

they are theyre just made to look acoustic

[darkninja060]

look up travis orbin hes neither left or right handed its crazy

[davss5]

There are lots of good/great drummers who favor one hand (right hand for right-handed drummers; left hand for left-handed drummers) - but I admit I am into symmetry - i.e., drummers using BOTH hands fairly equally...Tony R is not the only "symmetrical" drummer, but I think this is why I can enjoy watching him...also, watching him play with such ease is also enjoyable for me...

[qlmcneal]

He wont be 24 until October of 2009, thanx

[gummydasher]

he'll be 16

[Vralik]

Hes in his 20's

[gummydasher]

thank you

[Mimicoops]

that sounds like a electric kit right?

[jspec1594]

yeah look at the floor tom depth. same as snare.

[PhantomSocke]

yes of course it is.

[Kevbox2008]

What kind of kit is that?? I looks cool but it sound cheap. (Even with a cheap sounding kit, he still ripped it!!)

[ninjaman1777]

what is the name of the song at the beging????

[chernamin]

its a track that comes on the slightly older version of the roland electric kits lol. i know they just came out with a newer brain so idk if its on there but probably....its funny cause i was playing my friends electric kit and went through all the sample songs and i was like oh heres the one tony plays then you realize what a beast he is when you try to play to it. electric kits are tooooo fun

[dawnsullivan]

Can't Wait Until He Has Good Taste Like Rich & Krupa! For Real!

[UKrocketeer]

"sounds" great

[3K3K3K]

actually 24 but it doesnt matter. he's still a beast on the set either way.

[drummermahn]

he is not 16 he is 21 now

[Btolbertjr]

HE IS NOT 12 IN THIS CLIP HE'S 16

[tigolos]

12 years of age: I'm gonna throw away my drums und sell sausages instead. Wow!

[partyhatsteve]

the second sample is like the theme for sex in the city lol

[Ace3mb]

all i wanna know is.....WHERE THE FUCK DID TONY GET THOSE HANDS MAN.....I WANT A PAIR lol

[chernamin]

he got them from 8 hours of practice a day

[MaestroUJ]

I knew it! I was telling eveyone way back in the early 90's that they should come out with a black Megaman! And he has an awsome soundtrack! Look at him using Metronome-man's special powers!

[starionpatrol]

I want that huge hart dynamics-kit. some day I'm gonna buy one

[godsuniqueone]

yall all lame

[nubian2324]

hes 17 in this video.

[biodata]

but still, no one can top him.

i mean, no one could even try to challenge him.

[maxfriesen]

hes good but lots of people could challenge him.

jojo mayer plays circles around him in my opinion

[shinedrummer11a]

I agree but don't think about who better that who because each of them bring something completely different to the table.

[Rockanoppper]

marco minneman go look at marco minneman that dude is sick

[Metalkevmo]

the first song had a cool tune,i gotta admit.

[rabunek]

this niggas is good but i thing that he was better in young now is nothing special!

[Trevor10]

fuck no its not all in the double bass drum

[randomathelon]

Am I the only one who thik of good, old arcade games and the music that are in elevators? Like in a fancy hotella nd mall and stuff like that? This has got the be, by far, the best drummer i've ever seen...

[007lildude007]

how annoying is the music in the background??!! why cant it just be him

[rcbuzz]

ah correction he was 17 in this one

[Rumpleproofskin]

It's all in the double bass drum

[metalisgod666]

wow your dumb if you think that

[F1N1SHEDD]

[cerote91]

[DrumminAndGroovin]

He was 17 in this video...

[loboarmado]

UN ARRECHO!!!!!!!!!! el que sea venezolano me entiende

[LBknot]

De pana man este carajito es arrecho

[jagebgr]

one thing or another, he never went to school and stayed home playing drums all day, or he sold his soul to the devil jajaja

[MyChoiceZildjian]

i went to his clinic in Perth last night and he is a really religious person he started playing in church and he always at every show thanks god for giving him the great gift he has for playing the drums so don't go on about shit you don't know about like he sold his soul to the devil you idiot

[HannesMusik]

He's playing with no feeling, just technique.

He thinks he´s the best drummer ever.

He has done one great solo at the age of twelve, but no more(as much as i have seen).

[Ace3mb]

so what the hell it doesnt matter and have u ever heard him say he's the best i think not, i wonder if u can even play at all

[LordOfTheDrums]

omg.. look up tony royster on youtube.. he's goen quite biga nd he's a well amazing drummer now.. get your facts right before making such a statement ;)

[MyChoiceZildjian]

well i just went to his clinic and trust me he is one of the most musical drumers i have ever seen. and you say he plays with no feeling he is one of the best grovers around. have you seen his DVD "Pure Energy" He grooves hell good in that.

By the Way he is 100 times better live than he is on Youtube or video

[azimitch]

ever played on electrique drums? you can't lay feelinf in those things!!!

[konarider]

I know eh!? they sound so generic and...well..obviously fake...horrible for hyper blasts! lol

[audiodrumster]

i love this guy so much

[majdan]

o fuck!!!! this is amazing :-)

[fjcdrums20]

WOW SO GREAT:>WHAT A TALENT:>

[bcrwarlock122]

neilpeartfan lets see you do better

[Neilpeartfan]

I THoght This Was The Comment Section Not The Basshing Other People Section And My Comment Is This Song Hes Playing Sounds Like It Belongs In A Game

[Neilpeartfan]

i can do better then this belive me this song belongs in like a game

[Hackexpess]

This is when he was 18 butt heads..

[dalagambukid]

the electronic sound is horrible but T.R. jr is pure talent, in the end they all bow down to him. there are no drums he cannot conquer.

[Neilpeartfan]

This Guy Sucks

[BigBoiJC]

post a video of you playing.

[Bzong]

You know, he sure is better than you.

[glassgyroscope]

calling TRJ a hack is a fucking idiotic thing to say watch all of the videos of him on here you're a fool to say he isnt one of the greatest drummers alive

[MWdream]

hack

[fatrice75]

man, this dudes got some killer left hand control!

[flyscraper]

you gotta laugh, my god he's insane :-)

[ghostfacekilla1]

isnt he like 17 here not 12?

[snap2pop]

first a child prodigy...now a virtuoso  hands that would make buddy rich gasp nice guy too, met him in '02

[tak22thegoat]

this drum set is Hart Dynamics pro set. Its an electronic one. The cymbals look real but they are actually electronic. I own a hart dynamics but not a pro lol theyre popular cuz the feel on the pads are good.

[PearlyILoveYou]

no doubt... he was born 2 b the greatest drummer on earth

[lespaul369]

I love it. There is like grown men who are prolly drummers standin around goin. I wish i was that good.

[EJsaurus]

you are slow... this guy, is one of the best drummers ever, hes not this young anymore... hes in his late 20s-early 30s and hes even better... check out the one of him when he was 12

search "tony royster Jr."

[mfblaha]

[gregoryzz]

[jaccpreg]

.}jaccpreg{.

[eLiLLy815]

[shark67]

[Metallicafan80]

[supermanakasean]

[glanemann]

neil peart, blah blah blah. why the hell is everyone comparing. you like who you like. you can't freakin measure them skill for skill. the kid is sick. admit it. niel is sick too.

[dbxtekken]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW....

[parker385]

This is amazing! Go to my videos to see him in action when he's older, and hes a lot better!!

[podscn]

midi, even today, has the worst sounding tones...

[someguytalking2u]

The drums cant even keep up haha

[hippiejonesmarky1]

he sucks

[LondonSECrip]

like u suck dick

[518maxxon]

Hes been drumming since 3 years old he owns every drummer out there by far

[LondonSECrip]

4sho thats all i can say

[synysterXpunk]

neil peart, far better, better melodies, better fills, everything, but this kid definatly has a shit load of talent.

[Saesays]

Haha, Neil Peart a 54 year old with a lifetime of experience on top of talent. The comparison is needed. Tony Royster is podigy, and has been all his life.

[Randy14600]

he sounds better on an acoustic kit to me....eletronic drums are so hard to get the right feel...but tony is amazing on them none the less

[gippobutworse]

hes like 21 now and soooo gd

[Dazzer1234567]

those vdrums sound horrible, but that kid is bananas

[scissors]

tony royster is FUCKING AMAZING but i played on those type of v drums and i hate them so much.... but that has nothing to do with him hes amazing!!!

[italia10588]

yea they suck. Especially the cymbals. There is no replacement for real cymbals. Alot of the professional V-Drummers will tell you that one.

Tony is amazing, I'm jealous a little, i think haha. I wonder how many hours a day he practices.. if he even has to haha.

[DrummerCAS]
