Ronlad Bruner Jr. - Pasics

[speedoflite1]

musically dynamic, explosive with ease.

[Easleytee]

He should be listening to Eric Harland if he's serious about constructing a coherent musical statement on his instrument.

[Moog168]

@Easleytee He doesn't have to listen to anyone though lololol Ron is very accomplished for his age especially when it comes to him playing either live or in the studio.

Believe me if he wasn't serious you wouldn't have legends like Stanley Clarke,Marcus Miller,George Duke,Allan Holdsworth asking him to play with them but he's serious because he's been seen and HEARD playing for those artists.

[mrsmithcolin175]

i think he has a little dennis chambers in him!

[vinny3legs]

Saw Ronald last night with Stanley Clarke. This guy plays with alot of excitement and just kills it.

[TheMASDrummer]

those drums are

tasty



[dm6testa777]

this one of my fav drummers check out my drum videos

[fredkingsss]

I don't really like this kind of drumming, but this guy knows the drums.

[Krupa08]

.....'haven't heard a 'wall of sound' like that since Billy Cobham in the 70s.....

[mrtitanium85]

the first :32 is ridiculous n itself. ron is no from earth

[yosecreto6]

His Solos are just the same... always. It looks like a "speed show"...

[animalbeats]

I love his, homage/challange to dennis chambers, by playing the rims and walking off, this is what dennis does in one of his famous drum solos.

[specialness16]

crazy drummer

[specialness16]

whoever made this video 4:31 you should've faded it in :P

[tetnywna]

Dennis Chambers is still the master but ronald is just the new dennis of this generation!! awesomeeeeeeeeeee!

[aronizer]

The groove at 2.43 is HUGEE

[winnerbaby44]

the ending is fucking NUTSSSSS

[elguapo91]

The ending is an homage to the legend that is Dennis Chambers. I think guys like Tony Royster and Ronald are inheriting the throne from Dennis Chambers. He's passing on the legacy of his playing!

[junkyarddrummer]

hi-hat,ride and bass drum are killer !

[jmr2master]

Calm down folks.

1) There are very few drummers who play an open solo at a drum clinic and don't do ALOT of chops or technical things(Even if they don't have this degree of chops)..

2) Its a drum clinic, hes not a clinic track. . .

3) I want HIS DRUM-SET!!!!

[welshdrummer92]

5:06 holy crap one handed!!!

[wwwdavemacleodcouk]

push pull technique - jojo mayer explains it well.

[benhhx]

i literaly started falling asleep at 4:30, he puts more importance on speed than anything else.

[specialness16]

@benhhx I don't believe he does actually :P

[ppgretsch]

he is the new dennis chambers

[RollingStone000]

The ending is very Dennis Chambers-esque.

[NouveauNick]

All chops...nothing new.

I hate players that have nothing to say musically....such a boring watch.

[Moog167]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!

He had dynamics and he was musical with the toms and he was talking through his drums.....

[SummerWorkoutProject]

Ok... So he totally pulled a Dennis Chambers at the end.

[Talaramama]

oh yea ur right, is this a dennis signature or something? Dennis doesnt better, he just stood up, ronald lay his hand on the floor tom :((

[Drumzzz22]

those singles should be over 220 in 16th notes O_O

[CheezeyWeezey]

Definitely over 220. 220 isn't that extraordinary.

[Thomlistentoslayer]

tony royster is more of a passionate player...and i'm not even a royster fan

[samquickdry]

crazy control when hes going fast and hitting real hard... hes amazing

[ashtool]

best drummer i've seen in a long time

[Thomlistentoslayer]

he isn't no passionate player i think he hits everything to sound good which is unnecessary flashy drummer boy i'm not impressed ha jojo mayer is the sound

[crimjqt83]

i think he would kill you.

[Moog167]

Well Will Kennedy thought he is A Passionate player!

Did you see him on Drumchannel?

Will Kennedy,Smitty Smith,Bruner Sr.,Bozzio and Curtie B. was like "I remember this cat from when...."

[kmbop34]

who tunes his drums? I want to hire them.

[thecd842000]

What's the point of playing a musical instrument if you are not going to play music?

[whateverman666]

You could say the very same thing about a painter. The real issue is simply that you don't think this is "music", and that's your problem, not Brunner's.

I don't like his style either (which is what I think you *meant* to say), but he's godly on the drums. And he plays what's needed - when it's needed.

Here, the audience needs him to show off

[musicallytoned1]

VERY WELL SAID BRUTHA, VERY WELL SAID.

[supmrz]

This young man is a BRILIANT musicain and i was blessed with the privlage to see this performance LIVE at Pasic08 and what he did in this video is GODLY in the world of Drumers people aspire to perform at his level and you sir should do some serching of Ronalds other works he is truly AMAZING.. enough said

[Exfactor44]

Ok so it was insanely fast... but nothing incredibly technical to really set him apart from other isnanely fast players.

[TheyTookAnimal]

alexlanker, Ronald Bruner Jr. is not king. Ronald Bruner Jr. is God.

[Moog167]

Now you know that Ronalds mom has a youtube page on here and she taught all of her sons that God gave them the gift to play the way they do so if she saw this comment I'm sure she would disagree with you

[motbass]

....who cares jackass.... It prolly wasnt meant to be taken as a factual statement.

[Moog167]

Wow what a really mature comment......I said my opinion because Ron came from a strong christian background and every christian musician knows not to put himself at the same level as God.....

[motbass]

And I bet you believe a woman was constructed out of a mans rib, talk about an immature fairy tale... Just because you believe in god, and I say the word jackass doesn't make you more mature then I am. This is YOUTUBE, it's no place to get high and mighty...geeeeeze. Oh and this dude isn't god any way Brann Dailor is.

[Moog167]

I never said I was better than anyone else and I don't consider Christianity a fairy tale because of how many times the Bible has been proven and how many lives it changed. So I don't want to argue because this isn't gonna get anywhere and you have your views and I have mine so lets leave it at that. BTW I seen Brann Dailor on the Modern Drummer 2006 DVD he's a great drummer because his musicall vocabulary is great but Technially and musically Ron is better.

[Admit599]

The Jesus kool-aid is strong with this one. Motbass, haha no sense in arguing... trust me I have "born again" relatives... the Bible is the be all end all for some people.

[marc777danielle]

whats wrong with the bible being the be all and end all for some people? if thats what they believe and its not against the law than where's the problem with it? just be str8 up and say you have a problem with God and you feel you don't feel the need to bow down to the very entity you should be bowing down to, God.

[Admit599]

How can I have a problem with something that clearly does not exist? Also an individuals belief is his/her own, I have no issue with that no matter how farfetched and wrong it may be. Honestly with all of the evidence against creationism you would have to be insane, really stupid, or ignorant not to see what is in front of you.

[Agneszja]

suuper

[Pandanobear]

That was so cool it killed me... oh $***... :(

[calzisdabest]

at the start it looks like its been fast forward

[winnerbaby44]

that kit is just the most amazing thing ever!

and with that drummer behind its a dangerous combo!

[derbi75]

ridiculously amazing drummer.

Nice video. I just love HD cams

[taukeyikan94]

awsome...

[jonknox]

That is just sic!

[blacktalent20]

A lil more discipline and he would be flawless

[clockworktomat0]

maybe so, but who are you to say so. I mean, I'm not about to say you suck, cause for all i know you could be the guy who taught him the funk, im just sayin' give the man some.

[blacktalent20]

Oh no dont misunderstand me. The man is hot hands down. All Im saying is if he were to place his stuff in places where it would stand out and not sound so all over the place it would be cold. But he's the man on them drums tho still. I mean we all got our flaws.

[THEpearldrummer]

yeah i agree. his beats are so groovy and exemplify funk, but his fills are basically a transition to hitting random shit as fast as possible. but he is seriously one of the craziest drummers out there, id just like to seem more tasteful fills.

[Moog167]

I don't mean to jump in and sound awkward....but that was the most mature youtube argument I heard!!

Thank you sooo much Clockworktomat0 and THEpearldrummer

[THEpearldrummer]

thanks bro. i appreciate it. but now that i watch this vid again, he seems to run out of ideas around 1:55 lol

[Moog167]

Well I think the most crazy part is when he does the single stroke rolls 5:11

[THEpearldrummer]

i really like the fill at the end tho. sick rim shots

[saladdin]

that warlord snare is TIGHT! and the bubinga kit sounds... whew!!

[cbmuzik]

Move over Tony!!! I gotta NEW king to anoint! BRUNER RULES!

[skits17l]

lol, you must be crazy, lol, i heard they battled, and someone got ripped, and i dont think it was tony, For real for real, just being real with you, aite,

[cbmuzik]

you heard?  right

[daltonsim]

[Em2300]
