Tony Royster Jr. Solo - Drum Channel

[HeillonJosephDrummer]

Muito massa o video =)

[Firefighteralive]

Love it

[001matol]

okay look travis is a good drummer. but Tony Royster is better in every way. ppl are just blinded by travis' guts and ego. they dont look at the talent. and they prolly dont even play drums.

[tappohailstoyou]

is that guy some kind of a new machine or something?:D

[jakal5150]

sorry to all the drummers that keep being compared to every drummer that ever lived. You can't compare drummers to each other they all have quality for the style of drumming that they play. I wouldn't compare anybody to Joey or Travis or Portnoy because they all have their place in their chosen style of music. So to all the haters, shut up and enjoy the music.

[ARTIFICIALillusion]

i fuckin love this guy

[callowbastard11]

[TheOREOswagger]

[ShaunStruwig]

@TheOREOswagger lol.. you buy a DW snare. that's about it.

[Heffey02]

[nengstro]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Tony´s insane. Insanely good!

[wikid83]

Tony royster would kill it in a techno-metal or speed-metal or any kind of metal band.

[LaiguemarinAn]

[NERDLyCAN]

@DrumChannelOfficial what do you guys use for the overhead angles is a special type of tripod or a rig you guys made please reply i really want to know

[SCARBAND]

[jakinhoish]

quero ver vc fazer duelo com andrea vadrucci

[hansjalv]

I can do that. I just don't want to.

[Psycho9263]

Tony Royster Jr makes Travis Barker look handicapped.

[myandrewsu]

does anyone know what chopper size does he use?

[axedstoninst]

@myandrewsu looks like a 12 or 14 inch

[emaculate]

From 0:44 to 0:54 is some the cleanest use of the moller i have ever heard.

[choredavey]

anyone wanna guess at the time signature for that?

[Aprosperitis]

i am sick of all those stupid americans to compare quality drummers to travis barker or joey jordison ... open up your minds assholes JES~!!!!

[vonapparatus]

@Aprosperitis hahahaha

"stupid americans" what an ignorant comment lol ....btw sorry for trolling...

[Fusionfreakdrummer]

@Aprosperitis ok stupid we have the best o the best carter bueford to danny carrey and more lol!

[MaggotMuncher96]

@Aprosperitis Joey Jordison is a quallity drummer , you ass hole

[TheRealEOD]

@Aprosperitis Seriously? Who are you to generalize Americans? People like you are the reason there is so much senseless hate in this world. Your the real asshole.

[sh1nfo]

@Aprosperitis Don't worry, not all of us Americans are stupid. Unfortunately only the stupid ones go around on youtube and tell everyone that travis barker is the greatest drummer the worlds ever seen.

[obg4ever]

@Aprosperitis Agree 150%

[skangmox]

@Aprosperitis comparing drummers is about as stupid as calling all americans stupid.

[darkmercy87]

@Aprosperitis dude leave jj out of that lol, barker is the guy all about bling and fame, joey just makes tracks for slipknot and does guitars for murder dolls

[axedstoninst]

@darkmercy87 And yet he still sucks.

[Emil3484]

Abow..

[4stringFanatico]

Qaurter note quintuplets? fuuuuuuhhhhhhkkkk.

[Kahkaha0sman]

SEXY... BABY GIVE ME MORE

[musicnab]

This is great, does anybody know of some music that is like this? Not just his amazing drumming, but also the music he's playing to.

[ShaunStruwig]

Hey everyone, I'd be real grateful if you could head over to Drumchannel and check out My entry to the Alien Ant Farm contest! :)

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

Tony, what tiny ears you have.

[Peartnoy518]

His kit's almost as massive as his skill.

[JohnnyChimpo84]

Sweet Christ...

[12764010]

if i had tony's skills for just ONE day... :(

[ilovesabian1n1]

is Tony part of illuminati? =(

[eyesawit2]

@ilovesabian1n1 UMM....That "DIAMOND" ON THE SHIRT MAKES U WONDER.....

[dichotomism]

@eyesawit2 Makes you wonder what exactly? What does the diamond have to do with the Illuminati? (who don't actually exist by the way)...

[soundclik43030]

@ilovesabian1n1 here's your answer

watch?v=Gc1aNqXiTu0&feature=re­lated

[NemoInc1]

thank god i can type with my eyes closed because my eyes just exploded. WOW

[MoreThanAchievements]

i wish this was a real solo

[bklyn977]

this is some of the best ive seen of tony's playing!

[TbTReviews]

Would you believe this is his first time playing drums?

[Meshga]

not only he's playing in 7/8. During 00:58 to 1:09 he's playing accents on the snare while doing 16th note splits. Holy Freaking Hard!!

[dontcryoverspiltmilk]

why cant I play like him ...... oh wait thats right cuz he is GOD

[ColdMourning]

@dontcryoverspiltmilk prolly cause he started playing when he was like seven years old. :)

[ramdor4]

Matt Griner

[atedj]

does anyone know what snare head is he using?

[NateAronsohn]

what is he doing at :44 secs into it. what kind of roll is that that he's doing off the symbol

[LTdrumma]

@NateAronsohn hes just doing INSANELY FAST singles

[isaacvelasquez31]

@NateAronsohn Those are singles.

[superjam18]

i can tell his roots were in gospel drumming even though he's a fusion drummer

[samL1027]

I see the shadow of Dennis Chambers

[Yeahbuddyy122]

erection achieved.

[YorkstreetTV]

This is a great video Tony keep it up

[zzzzzushi]

@drumslanga352 thats a sabian chopper. idk how big though.

oh...and just so everybody knows he drums for Jay-Z

[aws55]

Omfg dat snare roll. This is why Royster is my hero.

[suiraj91]

is that in 7/4?

[sinclair61]

@suiraj91 Yes. I count it.....one two threefourandone two threefourandone two....... It feels better lol

[firstmusic00]

This guy is so damn good!! He must have sold his soul to the Devil!!

[MrBrentR]

To get really good- practice failing at something for years, and studying what you don't understand; until you have no more confidence in yourself, until you break your equipment in frustration and want to give up, followed by people telling you you suck ....then start again. Repeat at least twice.

[flyingcows547]

did somebody just try to compare travis to this guy? lol

[treypeezy100]

To the guy that said that he is better than travis barker.. obviously you haven't looked at all of travis' solo's and music.. he is a great drummer no doubt but i do not think he is better than travis..

[MikeyJTheGreat]

@treypeezy100 Travis is a good drummer but Tony has it better I think.. Travis is very over rated.

[EA369]

@treypeezy100 Tony can do all of what Travis can do and much more. I don't see Travis busting out various rudiments with extreme accuracy and speed like they're singles like Tony does to be honest. I'm sure 99% of people would agree if you put them both behind their respective kits in the same room for a drum battle, Tony would eat Travis alive. Just saying is all.

[asipodroks]

@treypeezy100 if you honestly believe that, then you obviously know very little about percussion. travis has absolutely no feel for the drums because he's bred to beat the shit out of the drum, limiting his dynamic range. he also displays ability in what, 2 rudiments? anyone can do a single stroke roll.

[augusthour4]

@treypeezy100 hahahahahahahahahahaha. wow. all i have to say is just... wow. you my friend done fucked up

[skatagmt]

@treypeezy100 even tony royster's video from when he was a child is better than travis. You clearly cant compare an awesome jazz drummer like tony royster to what... travis? seriously?

[DuNordavind]

@skatagmt Jazz drummer...?

[LostCallProductions]

He doesn't have NEARLY enough drums. At all.

[gedbangsdrums]

just sucks how the world is exposed to shit like mtv and travis barker making them think thats how good drumming gets...

[wixly124]

@gedbangsdrums no man limits another..drumming can get better if anyone tryed hard enough :)

[sweetfly66]

@gedbangsdrums ... dummy .... tony plays with Jay Z ... i think he`s probably been on MTV more than a few times

[trisnjok]

damn, tony grew up...

[AZdrummerKiD1]

i need does legs and arms DAMMMIIT

[DeQuan202]

Why is he so good?????

[oAklandstroak52]

@DeQuan202

24 years of practice and shows

[chilly2829]

what do you practice to get really good at drums?

[DrumChannelOfficial]

@chilly2829 - A great place to start is with Drum Channel's full curriculum of technique classes on Drum Channel. Takes you through the fundamental all the way to advanced skills. Check it out and keep on practicing!!

[lucariololol]

@chilly2829 you play a lot and thats pretty much it

[x8dddx]

@chilly2829 Drums.

[ninjahawk1]

@chilly2829 its not abt wut u practis its abt how much time u do

[lypunkdud20]

@chilly2829 you can get whatever books you want, what ever teachers you want, but the bottom line is PRACTICE and LISTEN. do those as much as you can!!

[baronvonchunk]

@chilly2829 Lies. Listen to your favourite music, pick up on rhythms and intricacies. Watch your favourite drummers, watch and listen to their techniques. Always keep practicing, never lose enthusiasm. Be sensible, start small and pick something out, like if there's a rhythm you love but cant get the hang of it, break it down and keep practicing. Lessons, in my view, are so restrictive, once you get the basic techniques down, it's all about growth as a musician.

[byfactorise]

@chilly2829 here's what you ACTUALLY need to do. buy a metronome, a marching band rudiment book and practice for at least an hour a day. any time you practice anything should be to a metronome with a variety of dynamics. start everything slow and work your speed up gradually, get the sticking perfect. learn the moeller technique and proper stick grip. those are the essential tips for perfect practice. don't forget, tony royster jr IS a prodigy, don't expect to play his shit within a year or two

[ImaFez]

Does anyone know the name of this song from ASAP?

[19jord93]

He was thinking about hitting the crash at the end.

[19jord93]

At the end there he was thinking about hitting the crash.

[metalgrande95]

what bass pedals are those?

[stinkymlinky]

@metalgrande95 The brand is Sonor, don't know what the name of the pedals are though

[rockdahaus]

@metalgrande95 If you look on top, then the pedal is right next to a DW. So does the bass drum pedal for me for like a DW.

[DaltonDrums]

@metalgrande95 They're DW 9000 series pedals.

[karabibas]

[z2thaanko]

0:54 THIS FUCKING HURTS!!!

[willisnance]

It was murder she wrote!! What Just happened you say? I believe I pooped my pants.....twice!

[Mister10445]

Didn't any body else go "what the heck?" at 1:13?

[drumwraith]

@Mister10445 What the heck?

[itgmaster098]

@Mister10445 its called time changes its very hard to impy when playing with someone else

[metalgrande95]

i wish this never ended.

[zzzzzushi]

[mdeloli2009]

[UnitingForce]

SICK!!!

[CowBoyDrummer95]

its nice to remind drummers on the history of playing drums....but seriuos it gets really old really fast....next time you want to school someone dont

[Rock4life93]

the little thing where he was rolling on the snare with almost only one of his hands was pretty sick

[chucky36]

Those of you that really think he can't play or think he lacks feel, why is he on here, why does he have dvd's to his credit why does he have an international gig, matter fact why r we even talking about him? yeah i think I've proven my point. If he couldn't play, we wouldn't be talkin about him...nor would he have what he has. I'm not riding his cape, but truth is truth. We are talking about him, not you.... let dennis chambers talk about you, so we can talk about you.

[ThePbdrum]

best sounding kit ive ever heard, i wish i could afford DW

[nihongo94]

@ThePbdrum Get good mics and a good sound guy.

[Trader5822]

This guy sucks , he totally lacks feel

[Marvin24241]

@Trader5822 whoah what?? are u kidding me? he's prob the best drummer under 30 that's out there and ur telling me u have the knowledge and knowhow tojudge his playing? why aren't you famous and have countless gigs to your credit... oh yeah you're prob not that good and not even remotely close to being as good as tony.... STFU

[JohnnyAppleBag6]

0:08 to 1:41...... I taught him that.

[eltrokeromexicano]

@JohnnyAppleBag6 lie!!! i did.. i gave him personal lessons. infact he was pretending to play. i was on the back doing the whole thing. :)

[luzier13x]

@eltrokeromexicano haha! i thot this was the part were i played and pretend? it was you? i got confused.haha!

[LanceCampeau]

That's some sick hot chops.... tight & clean technique with big power, kit sounds awesome too...

[john0550]

Tiger wood on drums?

[jakamake]

Holy cross overs,u c that at 1:01 \m/ \m/

[rockenfield36000]

just boring, he has no personal sound, and one more in the clone's heaven...

[DaianaeFagner]

muito legal e diferente de tudo

[Cboisen10]

i really! wanna know why anyone dislikes any of his videos, he's so good

[KarlLeipzig]

babam

[singningwongho]

holy damn

[TheMASDrummer]

tony royster pisses me off

[1991ant1991]

@TheMASDrummer Because he's that much better than you?

[TheSyncopator]

Those singles are so damn clean!!!!!!

[Mnog1997]

When Neil Peart stop playing we already have a subtitute drummer.

[LaLa091390]

this dude has sum hands. those singles were so clean.

[darthjoey13]

I could play it if I had that kit...And that talent

[kshayk0]

@darthjoey13 lolz

[drumslanga352]

wat is that little stack cymbal he plays at the beginning

[TheChiFlows]

Vinnie ,Dave , Lang are still the best . But Roysters a monster .!

[CGreenC]

@TheChiFlows

If you're talking about Dave Lombardo and Vinnie Paul, they don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Thomas Lang, let alone be compared to Tony Royster Jr. I respect what those guys do and I'm not trying to discredit them, but they're not even on the same planet as Tony and Thomas.

[music4live1234]

@CGreenC I believe (or hope) The ChiFlows meant Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl, which indeed are two monsterdrummers, in case he meant Lombardo and paul, you are right. Tony and Thomas've worked verry hard to reach their respective places in music-industry, so let's not bother them with comparing them with the likes of drummers way under their talent-range.

[nicegie753]

off time is your best friend when it comes to looking awsome !!!

[drumslanga352]

wat is that stacked cymbal he starts playing at first?

[roki92]

@drumslanga352 sabian chopper disc!

[ThatItalianGuyTil]

@drumslanga352 They're called Choppers (Sabian cymbal)

[killtac2007]

@drumslanga352 I believe its a special fx cymbal but my may be wrong

[drummer63639]

@drumslanga352 they are SABIAN CHOPPERS

[Adamkooooooo]

@drumslanga352 its sabian chopper 12 "

[ThexteraDrummer]

@drumslanga352 It's called chopper by Sabian

[york246]

@drumslanga352 sabian chopper (named for the "choppy" sound it makes) its mainly used as a percussion filler

[maro007a]

@drumslanga352 Its a Chopper Disc cymbal

[sabian1312]

@drumslanga352

sabian chopper

[chunkymunky514]

@drumslanga352 i think its the sabian chopper 10" but thats a pure guess :)

[noodledrummin1]

@drumslanga352 'tis called a chopper cymbal my friend.

[marralis]

@drumslanga352 mike portnoy max stacks

[reubn101]

@drumslanga352 It's called a chopper.

[9Drummer7]

@drumslanga352 i think its a mini china!ive got one too from meinl classics! i think this is 8 or 10 or 12 ´´

[Creamy101]
