  • wow tony was fast even during his teen years... dang.... props

  • 32 dislikes as of 12/21/11 -- how ridiculous! Some people just can't admit that something is impressive. I guess their drumming is impressive enough to criticize others, esp. a teenager playing drums like this!

    Way to go Tony Royster, Jr!!! I'm a fan!!!!

  • Oh wow!

  • meu DEUS do céu toca d+++ sou fã desse cara

  • meu DEUS DO CÉU D+++++++ TOCA D+++++++

  • from 4:50 to 4:58 the video looks like it could have been sped up.

  • Jesus !

  • WHAT SNARE IS THAT?

  • @xXParanormalPunxXx a DW. Don't know what kind

  • damn, how old is he in this video?

  • Correction: another, not snotty.

  • Tony is good; however, I agree that he has not changed over the years, nor has he really gotten any better. It still sounds the same. Nobody can touch Carter Beauford. And FYI, Joey is just snotty Travis Barker: the only people that think he is even remotely good are amateurs. They don't even have a clue what drumming is truly about. Peace all!

  • @hoodnjh well actually he has gotten better alot better

  • @hoodnjh also fyi; people who talk down on barker and jordison's ability are also kidding themselves. not the most technically able from what we've seen on them? sure. don't get me wrong mate i agree that people who are like OMG BEST DRUMMAS EVAR don't appreciate what drumming's truly about, but travis and joey have never claimed to be the best nor i believe have they demonstrated what they're truly capable of. so, not the best? okay. but to say they're not even remotely good is just ignorant.

  • I love it when people comment on tony's vids wen they can't play it themselves

  • @dukinehbass And they talk shit like he doesn't sound as if he's gotten better. Like how the hell can you tell?

  • @Richardfson I know right? So what if he hasnt got any better? THey can't tell either. People like to talk crap wen they know they can't do it themself

  • The best boy

  • With all due respect I think this kid is over-rated. He's now an adult anyway and his solos have not gotten much more interesting. Great player; don't get me wrong but definately not legend material. There are no cool licks and the solo doesn't tell a story. I can understand everything he's doing and there are no interesting polyrhythms, insane fills or real musical statements so I can't understand why some people think he's so amazing other than the fact that he's a kid (in this video).

  • @spercoco True that.

  • Comment removed

  • 31 dislikes for real yall hatin for real!

  • @mrpayne1551 its not that i'm hating its just that he is over rated. he is good but over rated. I just don't like him like I like Joey Jordison.

    But for all of those faggots that watch Travis barker saying hes the best, they can go fuck themselves.

  • Wow, that's awesome! I mean, his chair just looks so comfortable!

  • hes to nice on the drums

  • @christanmusiczordude you sir don't know what music is. and trying to argue with me on this post is a waste of time. I PERSONALLY don't like metal period! note how i used the word personally. and plus man most "famous (as you say)" metal bands say F*** or Damn or every other cus word you could think of ever other word. that ain't music. like Anthrax or slipnkot or Lamb of God. those bands are terrible and metal ain't hard to play. going fast in it is just remember that.

  • @christanmusiczordude then explain to me why i see almost every drummer using it now and days. granted i have it but i barely use it at all. Extreme as in what...Heavy metal, screamo. Man that ain't music or drumming that is just noise and banging. Granted, Joey Jordinson is a good drummer but all he uses is double bass for everything. Tony is one of the few that can beat joey in flow and speed.

  • Joey Jordison and tony are so different in styles so don't compare them. you shouldn't compare drummers it leads to hate so just love what they do and don't HATE !

  • STOP COMPARING DRUMMERS! IT'S A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! BETWEEN TRAVIS BARKER AND TONY ARE TWO DIFFERENT STYLES OF PLAYING. GROW UP!!!

  • I bet joey can't even do a fraction of what Tony can do, and when this video was shot, he was only 14.

  • Joey isn't better than tony the only thing joey can do is double kick real drummers know its more to drumming than just that that's why tony is the best because he's versatile

  • @iamborrito hell no tony is way more versatile than joey they don't compare. The only thing joey can do is double kick and these days everyone can do that

  • @iamborrito this faggot must be trying to get thumbs down

  • No i mean travis barker is shit and Tony is alot better than travis barker.

  • wtf / tony has lighting speed and skill. he has my vote for the very best ever. buddy would have shit his pnats and killed himself if he lived to see toy play.

  • @1234567jelly my ass man buddy would own him man buddies got way better technique and way more experience he started drums when he was 18 months

  • @1234567jelly Ha! Buddy smoked TRJ when he was even younger. Was playing when he was like 16 months old.

  • Double bass is the greatest! If you aren't using it you might as well cut off a foot. Double bass=Busy fills made easy

  • i will have to admit, double bass is over rated. I bought a double bass pedal and i rarely ever use the double pedal i just use the main one. Tony royster jr is one of the few drummers now and days that doesn't need a double bass or double bass pedal to sound good. He just chooses to use the double bass. Tony man you are good

  • Um dos melhores do mundo desde a sua infância, desde a primeira vez que eu o vi tocando virei fã de carteirinha, toca muito mesmo!

  • nice bro

  • justin bieber is better!!!

    just kidding I HATE JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!!!!!

  • the only thing that i dont understand is why he uses a double bass kit!

  • @allmetaliswelcome why wouldn't he

  • @bubbasock since he's more of a hiphop/jazz/funk drummer, and a double bass kit would only make it harder to play the hihat

  • @allmetaliswelcome ohh. yeah that's understandable, sometime I ditch my left pedal so that I can get my hats closer. But considering he uses so many toms and cymbals and whatnot, another bass drum just makes sense. also, it allows for more expression in my opinion. you play with two hands, so why not two feet

  • @allmetaliswelcome You can only get so many hits out of one bass so you get a second bass to double the the amount of hits you can make.

  • @wowthatwasamazing14 dude i'm not stupid... but why not a double pedal considering the fact that it will make it less comfortable for him to play the hi-hat

  • @allmetaliswelcome ohhhhh Well i know for a fact some double bass pedals are unequal when your foot is not on them and it kind of throws off your timing.Having two separate separate bass drums is gonna give you two equal bass pedals that wont through off your timing.

  • @GoZildjian. totally hear ya.... Tony has really talent!

  • no.. 30 guys are actually 15 year old girls who who are travis barker fans who believe drumming to MTV music and playing really fast is what defines talent.

  • he is fucking awesome.

  • I'm pretty sure he is beatboxing the drums.

  • 30 guys are jealous!

  • @ThePreciousguitar87 EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY thirty of yall are jealous he is one of my influences and i get my playing style from him and a couple a otha drummers

  • JUST Toooooo..... Awsome!!!

  • man his drums always sounds so amazing. if i could have any one drummers skills it would have to be TR Jr. hes unbelievable

  • 38-45 best part love those splashes

  • 30 people need to get shot

  • Imagine in grade school how much he had to dumb down his playing just so all the other drum students wouldnt give up, go into a deep depression, and jump off of a bridge on the way home from band practice LOL

  • @emilshere datz funni

  • When this kid grows up hes probably going to land gigs playing for people like JAY Z....

  • @emilshere Funny you say that because there's actually a video out there of him grooving at a Jay-Z concert.

  • this has gotta be my favorite tony royster clip.

  • tony royster is the best there is i love you tony

  • sick on the kit

  • What are you guys talking about? I was this good when I was 12! Just kidding, this guy is insane! Simply amazing!

  • I guess it would be hard to compare anyone to someone who could 1 hand triplet faster then my 2 handed flan. (buddy rich) But tony royster will blow any man who ever lived out of the water in a drum battle.

  • @newdarfur you mean flam right

    not flan lol

  • @christianconefery you would comment on someone hitting a button right next to the one the meant. You got social issues... Or did I mean you have?

  • @newdarfur your pretty offended arent you

    i was just laughing at the fact of "2 handed flan"

  • @christianconefery I understand that is the funniest thing.

  • Totally amazed, and this joy guy or whatever, does jealousy sound familiar?

  • Totally amazed, and this joy guy or whatever is jealousy sound familiar?

  • It's all air drummin 2 drum trax..

  • @Joy2Rode jeasousy souds familiar to yah?

  • @Joy2Rode noo man! there's mics all over the drums, toms, snare, those 2 mics are overheads

  • It's all air drummin 2 drum trax.

  • I am waaa bettr.

  • tonee rooster jr is a lousy drummr dudes. he sux balls

  • @Joy2Rode can someone say "DICKBAG"??? Yeah I'm talkin to you

  • this kid is so ill and this was like 8 years ago

  • He use silent ear :)

  • What type of snare is that.

  • oh man 30 people that don't know what good drumming is all about ;)

  • it fucking destroys me to watch this video

  • i wish people would stop saying that greebo 'travis' name on tony roysters vids. seriously. that tosser doesn't deserve any kind of mention or recognition on someone like tony royster's vids.

  • Very nicely done young Tony. I understand this is probably 8 or 9 yrs old now, but this boy is a genius. He has full command of the drum kit. Awesome!

  • This is they real shizzle right here. Youngster got some great timing, and foot skillz. Very nicely done.

  • jesus...

    this guy is jesus at kit :)))

  • his parents took Michael Jackson, Beethoven, Keith Moon, and John Lenin's blood and fed it to this kid as a baby.

  • :-O

  • hmmmm... im not feeling this at all, rubbish. whooaahh only kidding, this is some INSANE shit! how old is this kid? he plays like a drumming veteran

  • apparently 30 people have no musical interest.

  • Best tom and kick sound I've ever heard! Tony kills!!

  • Give the drummer some

  • Best drummer period. Hands down. there's no comparison. Dave Weckyl wasn't this good when he was a teenager, and tony royster is only getting better.

    Neil Peart doesn't have SHIT on this guy, as much as I respect him. Sry guys, TRJ is the best drummer alive. Period.

  • @MetalforLife22 idk man neil peart is a fuckin genius. i know that royster has some serious fuckin talent and AMAZING groove but somethin about peart is just fuckin kickass

  • amen bro, neil peart isnt that great of a drummer, tony royster is the man!

  • the only thing that can beat him now is a drum machine

  • @BeaconBoyz actually, no drum machine could sound as good.

  • WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS?!?!?

  • tony!!

    you're so amazing!

    keep it up man!

  • pure genius!

  • VERRY GOOD

  • buddy rich was so much better.....tonys never impressed me, not like buddy has :(

  • @vaderorder66 nooo fucking way man you know and i know tony is a 100 percent better then buddy rich get real

  • what hi-hat is he's ex hat on this video. i love the sound of it

  • Those toms are so beautiful sounding, not to mention beautiful looking.

  • Tony is such a badass drummer.... Just gets better as he gets older. And Faster if thats possible LOL

  • This cunt is nuts. At such a young age. the musical knowledge he has is unreal

  • He sounds a lot older than he looks!

  • he still makes the same faces while playing lol....

  • that snare must be raped from all those rimshots

  • omg he is the best!

  • putaquepariu

  • who it is?

  • that was just his mic check

  • I really hate how you watch a bad ass drum solo, than you go out and play your drums, and try to sound cool like the guy you just watched, and you realize... "I SUCK"

  • @GoZildjian mate just listen to loads of different genres of drumming and practice every day if you can. You will get very good in time. But above all it helps so much ore if you truly enjoy playing drums, even the simple stuff.

  • @GoZildjian hahahahahahahah man dont think that way you'll never be able to become a great drummer with that kinda attitude man cmon give yourself some credit :) and check out my vids haha :P

  • @GoZildjian We all share your pain.

  • @theyhavepeabrains haha! 

  • @GoZildjian

    indeed, i feel like you!! hahahaha its funny that you say but its true!!!

  • @GoZildjian yup It's the fact... Life isn't fair you know :P

  • @GoZildjian its not sucking, its lack of practice.

  • this is REALLY annoying me. that rhythm at 0:46 with the splash and hi hat, it sounds so simple but I cant get my head round it :(

  • @unknownrevelation search on youtube '' tony royster 332'' and ull find a tutorial of how to play that beat

  • i wish hed stick with his beats for longer 0:20 is sick but he only plays it for like 5 seconds

  • 3 things if you have them you can be a great drummer like that: Talent, Money and Luck.

    without Talent music is not ur thing.

    Money to get the needed gear for practicing and developing.

    Luck to meet and learn music from masters like Dennis Chambers.

    :)

  • @aassyr1111

    I agree!!

  • now tony royster blows travis barkers ass out the water lol

  • ..i wish all musicians understood this. the hate is not needed....i look at musicians as one big happy community....but unfortunately we all cant get on the same page. TONY is one of many that are great.(dave weckle, dennis chamber, buddy rich, steve gadd, thomas lang, jojo mayer, tony royster jr, john blackwell, billy cobham, vinnie cal, and now RockitManley(maybe) ect...

  • from 2:35 onwards sounds like Van Halen's Hot For Teacher

  • Comment removed

  • @tdhero dude you have got to be kidding travis is a great drummer but this vid was back when tony was 14 go check him out now i think he is about 23 25 something like that.

  • @tdhero u probly not a drummer, u are just a fucking travis dick sucker

  • @tdhero haha you're pathetic. You thiink bashing on drums and having fast hands is what drumming is all about? Think again. I think Tony right here is better than travis will ever be!

  • right on man, travis is not that great, yet people flip out about him like he's god or something, tony is way better than he is even on his 12 year old video!

  • @tdhero tony's skill at even 14 was better than travis's current skill.

  • @Bzong same with age twelve

  • @Bzong what an ignorant thing to say. why compare travis to tony when they are complete different genres of drumming/drummers? it's like comparing apples and oranges dude

  • @thanksmisfortune regardless of drumming, tony has been at the forefront of modern drumming. it's not about genre, tony has more groove and is a better drummer than travis by miles. i'm not really seeing travis do some revolutionary stuff like tony.

  • @Bzong well then i definitely WONT argue with you that tony has got some skills compared to travis, even though I love trav, but let's face it - travis can't DO what tony does on drums.

  • @Bzong u wish

  • @GRuBeRzZ LOL

  • @Bzong i dont know who ever said travis was good all he does is hiphop beats that anyone with 1 year of exp can do. And you could say that about tony to any drummer who ever lived and is still living. He is STRAIGHT the most technical drummer on earth.

  • @newdarfur exactly on the travis part, but in no way is tony royster jr. the most technical drummer, buddy rich was. one handed roll?

  • @Bzong I guess it would be hard to compare anyone to someone who could 1 hand triplet faster then my 2 handed flan. But tony royster will blow any man who ever lived out of the water in a drum battle.

  • han är bäst. han är väll bara 13 år gamal. han är helt enkelt skitbra

  • i dont mean to racist but black people can do anything godly.. wow

  • Dear Tony Royster Jr.:

    Have my children.

  • paaa q dormi mucho che

  • insane.

  • anyone know the name of that groove he plays at 0:48

  • Hey, I believe it's B R B L R B L R L B R L R B R Lwith the right hand playing on the and and the left hand playing the ghost notes.

    Works very well with a cowbell

  • terminatordrum ive been trying that i don't think it is, it sounds like the agogo pattern to me, maybe?

  • Its a linear groove i think I have sticking to something very close and it was tough it took about three hours without stoping to get it down

  • He is one of my favorite drummers, but some times he just gets on my nerve. I still trying to do the stuff he was doing as a teen.

  • Is this for real? One of the hottest solos I've heard in a long time. How old is this kid? I'm impressed.

  • his sticks are like 2 feet long

  • i just have one word.....daaaaang!

  • awesome snare sound!

  • Effortless precision. WOW!!!

  • Wow to good

  • at 2:30 it sounded like hot for teacher

  • @TheWarhead3 lol it does wow ha

  • Wow... Tony royster was so good as his age back then. this is truly a gift from above to be able to do something like this at such a young age.

    and in todays day... I think he is the best drummer alive!!!

    no compitition whatsoever

  • is tony royster jr the same as tony royster ? or are they 2 different people?

  • This is Tony Royster Jr (who is now around 24) playing as a teenager. He was a prodigy. I have heard Tony Royster, his dad, also played drums. I really don't know if that's true. I think that the confusion comes from people dropping the Jr when they talk about him.

  • naw its 1 person man... they just don't say jr. sometimes just 4 short

  • who the fuck cares hes a legend hes badass man hes like only 14 that is pretty amazing i am a teen and i am not even that good

  • @TheWarhead3 yea bc hes black they all got that sole in um

  • you are the best!!!!!

  • der typ ist einfach nur krass:'D

    oh man echt heftig^^

  • What ever happened to Drum Frames? I love how he's elevated.... but u dont see them anymore

  • Wow the kid is great!

  • im a kid. and i would give anything to play like that!
