Tony Royster - Niles

[vater102456]

What I love about Tony is that he can destroy a kit like Rich and then go straight back into the pocket like Erskine.

[TheOREOswagger]

0:31 sooo smooth

[drumm3rboyb]

this track is frm Common Ground with him and Dennis Chambers.. Tony was like 14

[Drumzoo]

just keep in mind that he recorded this when he was 14; a little boy... in the picture he looks in his late teens or early 20's, but Niles was recorded before then. Hes amazing

[andreapercussioni]

Il Bambino prodigio è cresciuto lo apprezzavamo da piccolo oggi è più formato con la giusta maturità è considerato uno dei nuovi batteristi emergenti nel mondo jazz e fusion.

[andreapercussioni]

Grande senso del ritmo e del vero drumming!!!

[Easleytee]

Mentioning Mike Portnoy in the same sentence as Tony Royster Jr. should be declared a criminal offense by virtue of a medical condition brought on by incurable stupidity.

[rired48]

I like Tony's stuff a lot, along with Jo Jo Mayer, Johnny Rabb, Aaron Spears, and Gavin Harrison....

[vitinholeq]

@rired48 vc tem razao meu amigo....temos que avaliar em um todo, e realmente Tony Royster Jr. é um dos melhores do mundo.

ele é um baterista completo, toca todos os ritmos e os tocam bem...

eu ainda nao vi um melho baterista que ele ate agora...

[MUZICKALL1]

i'm sorry! i've never been impressed with steve gadd!!!!!

[Portnoy001]

steve gadd is on the top too ..

[Easleytee]

@MUZICKALL1

Apparently your knowledge of the drumming arts was derived exclusively from the back of a cereal box.

[420jaymac]

@MUZICKALL1 wow thats insane

[ludwigrx]

Vinnie Colaiuta is still the number 1 drummer on this planet! \m/

[Sabiano]

Ultimate snare sound!

[INTRUDERSRB]

Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd.

[Joeskateapool]

@INTRUDERSRB you nailed it.



[fl3nd3r2012]

Quando si dice nato per suonare la batteria

[BigRooster747]

what band is he in? Thought so.....

[ShaneTheDrummer15]

he's definately following in his dads foosteps

[rhinozzz94]

like CJ on GTA San Andreas

[antonioneill]

yeah !

what cd is that ? what artists ?

[BreakPointTX]

Damn... and to think he did this as a freakin kid! I wish i could play like that when i was 12!

[Helslinky]

I think the playing on this is ace... but the music is shit!!!! It sounds like a cheap ass video game soundtrack, this is always the case with these type of drummers. Outbreak by Dennis Chambers is the only one that ain't complete shit.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@Helslinky

bullshit i dig this stuff. its called FUSION!

[Helslinky]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar This, this is NOT fusion.

[SmokeyBeatzOnline]

Idk why but this song reminds me of Grand Turismo ? Lol

[rhinozzz94]

@SmokeyBeatzOnline yeah

[rwiltzjr]

wuznt he like super young wen he performed this track?

[TheTorontoMusician]

all this does is lower my self-esteem...

[ba66man]

i know everyone is loyal to the drummers they love but when a man plays the way tony does you gotta take your hat off to him . im pretty sure mike P. has . =^D

[Portnoy001]

exactly ! MIke portnoy is an amazing drummer but .. as a band member ... in solo he is not that good as Tony

[cristian2001]

@Portnoy001 that's cuz tony is pure groove and soul

[chv307]

@cristian2001 What do you know about pure soul and groove? The closest thing you're come to soul is watching soul train. So stay in your lane and practice harder and keep your stupid comments to yourself. Nobody cares about your idiotic comments.

[PoeticJustice05]

@chv307 Why the hate? This is great playing, especially for a 14 year-old. You can't deny that, so relax.

[wesleydapegada1010]

MUITO BOM

[wesleydapegada1010]

@chv307

[Battossai3000]

@Portnoy001 yeah but cmon..tony royster jr is in a whole new level...also all he does is play as a soloist which gives him more freedom to explore and do crazy things

[chv307]

@ba66man Ah what do you know about drumming punk. Why don't you check other drummers as well you idiot.

[dodongjanjan18]

mike portnoy still the best

[NicholaiDrums]

this is the one from when he was 14 btw...the very same...

[UCABearBone]

I just crapped my pants

[lilmoot3]

this isnt the one when he was 14

[drumz86]

why not?

[moedadrumma]

@lilmoot3 it could be from that time

[DrumGoods]

this was when he was 14 . It sounds exactly the same.

[gooman313]

fucking amazing.
