this guy is just pure talent...you could just give him some buckets and glass jars to play and he would still be in the top 1% of all drummers ever..his fills make my brain hemmorhage
@phaethon1988 yea guess I never will because Ive seen dozens of videos from him.. great drummer tho.. I just think modern drummers with all this talent they have try to do too much and I still have heard their musicality
Well, as you stated, it is a style. And it all depends on what you define as musicality. Maybe there's a context that some fail to see about his drumming that may actually be infused with the utmost of what people call musicality.
you shouldnt go with price really, just what feels comfortable for you and what sounds good and has a good feel, you could have a kit worth 1 million but if your not comfortable and it sounds horrible then its useless. just go for what you want dude
Tony Royster is most probably the best drummer in the world... The things he can do I just cant imagine other drummers doing. And I love Tool and Danny Carey and hes probably one of my favourite drummers, however hes not as technical as Tony, but his drumming fits into the melody of the song so well (hard to explain)... infact better than anyone.
rll? cool because pearl is a lil bit less expensive and i have one ... i cant afford a good dw xD i like pearl too... and i know one DW that cost 10 000 and i dont like the sound... i like but not for that price
i wish i was there, like just 2 meters away from him, like that guy on the back. it would be AMAZING! too bad i live in mexico i dont think ill ever see him play live like those guys :(
Of course he is good. No doubt about that. I just don't think he is "the best" i don't think anybody is. Perhaps he might do the fastet singlestroke-roll on earth but that does not make him the best drummer right?
one thing about good drummers like tony is that they make it look effortless.some of those chops are unbelievable.oh well another 20 years of practice needed for me lol
This has got to be one of the coolest solos I've ever seen in my life. I'd say a good 5 or 6 of those beats he's doing I can't help but wish I could do them and ask myself how he is doing them
He's using a double, he's switching hes feet with his left foot from hi hat to bass. and his right foot for bass alone. that's double bass. But i think he put hard work and studying into the drums which make him the best drummer in the world to me. oh yeah, i am drummer also. so i seen a lot of drummers. keep it up if you read this bleachedquasar. peace
Damn, he is so good!!! son of a bitch... Why drums!! couldn´t you play Violin instead. . . i stink at drums because of you... and I´ve been palying since I was 12. . . and now i´m 38. . .
I honestly believe drummers like this guy go beyond a degree of accomplishment that say a guitarist is capable of. They are 4 brained is the point I make.
I love his chops and stick work. and 22 years old. he's set for life with this kind of talent. he's up there with mike portony, dave wekle, neil peart, paul delong, rick gratton. I wish I had the time to dedicate to play this well.
tony is just totally awesome, n he's not using any double bass pedals..thats pure fuckin technique man..n he's like playing normal drum routine..look how relax he is..pure bliss
Jordison sucks.. Barker is a joke. Peart is a genius.. Just not a soloer as much as Tony.. Tony is definitely the top of his genre. Imo Peart and Royster are the 2 top dogs.. Different styles, but that doesn't matter
Tony is doing a little bit of a Buddy Rich type solo here. Smaller than usual kit for him and he's focusing more on showing off his hand speed and cross-sticking ability. Before anybody get's mad I'm not saying he's as fast as Buddy, Just close.
Didn't know that. Great info and it's not shocking seeing how Tony plays. Tony may be better than Dennis at this point but who cares they're both great.
