[pearldrummer129]

2:00 The Dude.. fuckn' A man

[xhippeex]

@richiethegent in places where you can it would never be enough not even if you were on that 19 kids and counting show...

[DrummerFlo88]

on 1.53 was a stick roll on tom 2:D...^^:P

[sweetfly66]

i miss my days at Musicians Institute ...what a fantastic year it was ... i urge anyone who is thinking of going there to just do it ... it is so fun and you`ll get a once in a lifetime chance to meet tons of other young cats just like yourself ... hungry young drummers who eat , sleep , and breathe music ... and you`ll also get to see and meet cats like Tony Royster Jr. on a regular basis .

[SilkEclipse]

@sweetfly66 why the hell are you saying we, humans, as cats?

[gleventhal]

@SilkEclipse Guess you never talked to a jazz musician before.

[tommygun3805]

Who the hell is Bruce Lee?

[elarki]

that snare sounds so good

[Marcushajo]

@richiethegent It'd probably be a good deal, considering the price on that kit.

[MrFellipe1994]

Mestre! Toca demais!

[jockercyril]

comment les autres musiciens arrivent a suivre ca o___O

[TheBadmthrfckr]

Tony is the Chuck Norris of drums!

[SubwayStar7]

@TheBadmthrfckr Who the fuck is Chuck Norris?

[CRAZYGROUCHO]

wtf....i like so much the snare.......

[Arkaha]

@richiethegent I'd sell my whole family for his talent.

[202drummerboy]

DW.............

[GalwaThrone]

Amazing...

[ThePrudence23]

man the music is soooooooo dynamic that it is just amazing to say the least

[milkminotaur]

Like watching paint dry.

[atedj]

what snare head is he using?

[gazconnor]

@atedj

could be a evans g1 coated maybe :)

[andyonematch]

I was there in the front row! (this is me bragging)

[DaneCookIsntDatFunny]

Is he playing linear beats in the beginning?

[aakkoin]

what kind of drummer follows the guitarist and not the bassist!

[shanefischler]

@aakkoin He's traditionally a gospel drummer, and gospel guitarists suck, so they do rhythm while the drummers and bassists jam

[zezuntxiduntxi]

awesome guitarrist!

[Drummoturg]

THE BEST DRUMMER ON THE PLANET!

[RestDayer]

when this god plays, theres alway a part that i'd lose the rythm and then just comes back in

[Jhey172]

Allen Hinds :D

[Khironification]

Hey I have the information on Tony's toms in this video. If anyone wants it, just write on my channel wall and I'll post it in yours.

[titanium9000]

..damn

[merkyourfaceoff]

hes a beast. 

[fedepaz11]

-nice drum.

[pantostado7878]

snare!

[chx78]

agree with u H4rbolled ! we can't ignore this guy is asewome ! technic, ideas etc ... great source of inspiration ! go Tony !

[doeboyfresh863]

I wanna hear Tony play with Guthrie Govan

[1boris231]

@doeboyfresh863 that would be the most amazing thing everrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MarkHarrellJr]

Man, I love those toms. Majorly short but punchy!

[vyse75]

tony is one of my all time favorites, however i think his drums sound so dead and processed.

[ZildjianDrummer244]

@vyse75 He uses very focused heads. EC2's on his toms and an ST Dry on his snare by Evans... the ST Dry is meant for larger snares like a 7 X 14

[BrenS19811]

@ZildjianDrummer244 i think he's using a power center reverse dot on the snare bro

[AncientItalianSecret]

I have no idea what the hell he is doing! But I want to do it too.

[KingsofComedy]

@AncientItalianSecret Haha dude neither do I but its awesome. I don't even know where the time is until they do his solo section.

[Skoozatz]

H4rdboilde... Funny ass comment.

[instantbrother]

Tony's such a badass on the kit... So awesome...

[boagley1]

TECHNICALLY BRILLIANT! I think he's even made some NEW time signatures here! lol

[nodnal13]

reminds me a little of carter beauford.

[TheDarthnick]

@nodnal13 yeah me too

[DWman929]

the man kills....

[cerdeir02]

maravilha

[Juancito413]

aaahhhh I heared a few mistakes!

[Vodje01]

@Juancito413 no mistakes there my friend

[zachthecrack]

@Vodje01 there were mistakes.. But it just lets us know he's human.. Amazing talent

[jakerommer]

@Juancito413 jay z didn't when he hired him.

[thelurewasher]

@Juancito413 define mistake? I hear grooving and syncopation and always coming back to the pocket!

[19YelloW88]

Who is guitar and bass player ?

[themilksnatcher]

wtf was that at 1:40???? thats inhuman!!!!!!!

[DurellHart]

i cant get through the video because around the 1:50 minute mark i say to myself what am i doing i have to stop watchin this sh&%$T and go practice. smh

[drumbumist]

he is better then travis barker he has been my idol since i was 5 he has done so much in a little bit of time

[tbcslayer]

@drumbumist who the fuck is travis barker .

[CHRISTIAN6182]

@tbcslayer agreed.

[riceboy287]

@tbcslayer dude i still cant believe i thought travis barker was actually good... XD

[drumbumist]

@tbcslayer idk

[TheTwistedmistr]

@tbcslayer LMFAO!!!

[Mister10445]

I think I blacked out.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Don't worry about Tony knowing his rudiments. The guy was going to audition for the Blue Devils and I'm pretty sure he would have made it. (For you guys that don't watch DCI, I suggest you check it out - you'll learn a lot.)

[tdscotland17]

1.30-1.45, oooooffft.

[dotz52407]

sick!!! just goddamn sick!!!!! this cat was crazy good as a kid!!!!! now.....sick!

[sonmiguel22]

where can i buy good brass high quality like dat.> the guitar centers in ny suck and sam ash too

[tk72294]

What kind of music would this be considered? Jazz? Fusion?

[niborum]

@tk72294

Fusion, I think :-)

[prozeband]

Damn, what an amazing drummer.

[chopster4]

holding it down

[MetalHead420100]

fuck, he's an awesome drummer

[JJRUNKZ]

wow 1:25

[tkmj2008]

wats his kit??? i really like small kits like this... its sexy ...

[mhiggins917]

@tkmj2008 Small kit? really?

[picayunesnare10]

tkmj2008, im guessing you can't read because 0:09 it says DW on the kick drum. and thats not small.

[thaflykid13]

Tony is oviosly the best!

[voltronthechef]

this guy has such good speed

[brokeandhungryxx]

Wow.Tony Royster is awesome!!

[crg12]

how do you get your toms sounding like that?

[JoeBrownDrums]

dont forget that he probs has the best sound guy micing his kit . . but still its all in the tuning and making them the perefect tone for the actuall drum

[megachuck]

so sick

[ludawei]

crazy fill at 0:19

[joaopdq2010]

quem toca bem toca de tudo esse cara toca bem!!!!

[Spidey2391]

allen hinds on guitar siick player got mad licks.

[jodrasim]

hahah this is like the softer more elevatery sounding version of the morgan agren and meshuggah guitar player.. ha look it up. you know im right

[landonsugarrules]

be honest was anybody listening to the guitars?

besides as background music for tony? haha

[arleco12]

I don´t think Tony was listening to the guitars at all. I don´t like the way he interacts with music.

[TheFlorenzAnthony]

@arleco12 lol, maybe its you who cant hear. For me, i can hear the groove, geez man use your ears properly, i think you just trash around the drums like a set of garbage can? Lol.

[jamaartyr]

Yea, i play attention to it but not a whole lot. Lol

[BTHarp]

how does he make those toms sound like that?!!?!

[sfp316cb]

i can't tell in this vid but in another one of his solos he was using triggers.

[hendrickvaldez]

Tony Royster é um excelente baterista

[zteddy32]

What microphones does Tony use in this video?

[stopha90]

wooow those poor guitarist just arent enoguh for Tony...:D

[crazykillah911]

stopha90 the guitarist can barely play because tony is just soloing the entire time

[pigfeet859]

wow look at that foot

[bloodremnants]

beautiful

[H4rdboiled]

id sell my mother for those drums :O

[GotekDarkSamurai]

i'd sell her for those feet & hands! lol

[wolfpacguy]

LOL, did you mean you would sell the other guy's mom? ROFLMAO

[enzomdrums]

@H4rdboiled i would sell my mother for playing the way he plays... i would probably sell something like my car for those drums... what an idiot

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

@enzomdrums You mean you took what he said seriously? What an idiot. If I was gonna sell your brain, I'll get a pretty huge amount 'cause it's slightly used.

[Pracktice]

@H4rdboiled lol

[hoowahdruma]

@H4rdboiled Screw the drums! I'd sell my soul for those skills. If you could play like that, drum companies would throw their products at you.

[drumbumist]

@hoowahdruma really

[soundclik43030]

@H4rdboiled sell your mother? hey Kanye West sold his mother for a rap career. Iguess you can do the same for some drums.

[cvcgac]

@H4rdboiled your moms worth 12,000$?

[freaksynaesthesia]

Es que definitivamente Tony Royster Jr tiene pacto pa poder tocar asi xD!

[splashy44]

Hey check this guy: "Federico Paulovich" if u like ninja drummers, chops n stuff, i tell ya he's feckin amazin' great groover as well. I never heard of him till now.

Check im!! :o)

[tdrummer123]

this is how u know tony royster jr is still experimenting with sabian cuz.. there are few drummers that put a ozone where its located on his set lol

[chanchobolando]

lol. jeff beck o.o

[sabian16]

jeez! Tony's a beast!

[PossessiveObsessions]

Cannot believe how good those toms sound.

[dlpman8]

BEEEEAAAST!!!!!!!

[MrCliffordcharles]

That drum sounds sweet.

[vinic130]

O-Zone RoXxXx!!!!

[Tl1424]

that is a big ass drum set i only have a piece of crap 5 piece bg drumset

[Danielcrspo]

I love the over head view.

[Greggorath]

You can't really say what his 'style' is. He can play what ever he wants and he can do it better than I've ever seen anyone else do it.

[Nutsymton]

This is a fact :)

[GabrielKai]

I agree, Tony is ma favorite. Except Salsa. Dave Weckl does better Salsa grooves

[astrosfan52]

uhm, i beg to differ, he does have a style....it's called the Tony Royster Jr. style haha

[SuperMolamola]

como suenan esos toms recortados por dios! quiero los mios!

[notme2468]

tony is def. gunna be a name to remember in drumming history. that was eargasmic as usual.

[hsuchieh1007]

Allen Hinds...the touch is unreal...

[eqsmooth]

That was like Dave Weckl mixed w/Dennis Chambers playing with King Crimson as interpreted by Jeff Beck. Chops, pocket and groove. This kid is a superstar. I bet he has practiced 8 hours a day since he was 5.

[Jaythedrummerman]

hahaha best description of young roysters playing i have ever heard. and about the practice tacked.....yea that feels about right.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..not a jazz player? He only played with Billy Cobham and Max Roach on the same stage at the age of 8..

[juanluisinho7]

es lo mejor este tony me cae q si

[vinic130]

Tony Royster... aways Amazing!! a complete drummer!

[gazconnor]

This video is out of this world and the part at 1:58 is not even from this planet lol

[gazconnor]

All this video is amazing but 1:58 on is off the planet amazing!

Wow that's all i've got to say

[SouldieRR]

for the fellas(esp drummers) that complain about his playing style...u have to understand that all of Tony's music and videos are based on his playing skills, not necessarily the music style or genre. Rudiments, speed, odd time signatures and accuracy are what he wants people to see and hear!!! So dont bash... promote and enjoy!!!! This guy is awesome!!!!!! If you are any kind of drummer, you should understand this!!!!!

[Timmyinc44]

Drums should only be played musically, that's all that matters.

[GodSon0388]

OMGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bearddragon]

dude that big tom that looks like a bass drum is that normal?? or did he kinda invent it?

[DerSimulant]

awesome

[gringotavo]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­u wenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

[DANISH114]

his main hihats sound awesome, what are they?

[swedishstream]

Damn he's gotta learn how to play smooooooth stuff. Jazz, anyone? Im getting bored of listening to his playing, its the same every video.

[mrpooky1989]

i kind of agree wit wat u said it tru da reason it b cuz he nat a jazz player, nt even jazz, he mostly put a lil funk pop of everytin he play

[trobballin1]
