Thomas Pridgen, Ronald Bruner Jr. Drum Battle - Part 1/3

[Spacecowboyy]

sounds like 5 microwaves cooking some popcorn.

[yugiohyugioh12345]

i can't breathe.. so many damn notes........

[blablaAcount]

Thats the point ... Ronald is just about speeding it up, while Thomas keeps it down to earth and shining with some grooves. For me. Thomas wins this battel.

[blackkselffinc]

They both beastin BUT Ronald Bruner is just TOO QUICK.....

[FrizzyDiouleBiGbonus]

but it's just a démo,a big drummer it's not just this,technic and technic....the groove of drummer is in the heart,not just a idiot technic,kick kick ridicule...

[FrizzyDiouleBiGbonus]

ronald is very fast

[qwezz400]

that nigga thomas be literally murderlizen the drumset he plays on

[Elootify]

I don't think the sound guy realized Bruner needed a volume handicap since Pridgen is on stage.

[TheLocalFriends]

6:10 Thomas takes of his shoe... Shit just got real.

[thinjointmortar]

Sure one can like either one of them but when speaking strictly technically, if you're a serious drummer, you should know how much harder those licks Ronald did are.

[Modrums99]

would have been nice to have a nice groove set for few more measures in the beginning

[Moog168]

Childhood friends just having fun! Why the comparison?

[1stclassrecordings]

I met both these drummers, I want to shed with both of them

[TheRASL2011]

<3'em Both!!! Freak'n beasts!!!!!

[2468DDT]

Quit placing people in categories of whose better than who and why they're better than someone. They're having fun. Leave it at that.

[BlaizeJB]

There`s really NO WINNER because they are both Killin ! But some key points1) Bruner was choppin up wit Ease & Played a little cleaner than Thomas did 2) Thomas just barely finishes up his licks, as you can tell.. but more the less he did impressively manage to finish them 3) Thomas has a bigger & better miked kit ; But all in all they were both just having fun doing what they love, DRUMMING ! & Thats the bottom line (y)

[dm6testa777]

pridgen is just more known but bruner is better to me anyways

[dm6testa777]

if yall notice everytime bruner whats going off the camra man cut to pridgen 

[Thomasgipsy]

This video doesnt do justice to Ronald who is definitely in a league almost of his own with Chris Coleman,Thomas is great but Ronald is just on a different level

[MrsStudivent]

@Thomasgipsy i can see what you are saying but when you say a league of his own, are you talking about his incredible speed? i just said that because most people are so impressed with speed rather than musicality. not saying this about you, just saying. it's not about competion but to me i was more ready to hear pridgen statements because the sounded like they made more sense and fit for the groove they played. just saying though.

[Thomasgipsy]

@MrsStudivent Well I`m saying that his overall skills,not just technique, is something almost unseen he grooves he has it all,but I agree he plays sometimes just a little over the top

[MrsStudivent]

@Thomasgipsy well definitely, your right about that. i got say then too he is in a league of his own when you put it like that! and he do play some things a little over the top but still have skills that most people will never aquire! bad drummer for sure!

[drumguyrobc]

From having seen both of them in clinic and performance settings, and having the pleasure of spending a significant amount of time with one of them; I can say that while they're both fantastic drummers, Bruner is more well-rounded.

[eclef]

5:57-6:05 Smh

[harryhands]

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS CHRIS COLEMAN WILL BEAT THE BRAKES OFF THOMAS PRIDGEN

[daonpa]

@harryhands dont think so

[harryhands]

HE WILL NEVER BEAT RONALD......THOMAS BETTER B LUCKY THE KITS WEREN'T MIKE EQUALLY......THOMAS AIN'T NO BUM BUT PLEASE DON'T GET IT TWISTED....THOMAS WAS PLAYIN HIS HEART OUT WHILE RONALD LAUGHING...LOL

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@harryhands So basically you are hating on Thomas in caps to get attention?  All I have to say is that you are wrong.

[csahart]

everybody who said thomas won. please watch the video again. his drums sounded better. but ronald destroyed him!! thomas is good but he aint that good

[triohenderson]

THOMAS PRIDGEN U A BAAAD SUM BITHCH....!!!!

[MakoMusicOfficial]

wish the volume levels of the two kits were equal.

[RiicoWade1]

In one vid thomas said he uses 19 in hi-hats ....

[stoner12008]

dear thomas, please cease this act of violence against drums!!

you've been warned!

PRIDGEN POWER!!!!!

[rckmusic1]

Thomas "can't be fuckd with" Pridgen

[sample21383]

oh nope hes zildjian endorsed im wrong

[sample21383]

bruner is endorsed by paiste isnt he. i could be wrong tho

[sample21383]

i think pridgen won but it was close, bruner is a G no doubt when it comes to drums and i think him and prigden are on a similar level but pridgen just barely had him on this one. but see when Thomas pridgen and thomas lang go at it, i have never seen pridgen worn out before in my life till that video

[TawhiriLittlejohn]

ronald smoked pridgen, pridgen uses same ideas ronalds faster

[PeachesAndSkeet]

Ughhghghggh.... why do I even try?

[budwudd]

Pridgens fluidity is amazing. It´s very rare to see someone who is so natural and relaxed when hitting a drum. Big, effortless motions. Just beautiful to watch.

[poptrunk06]

Chris Coleman would eat Thomas pridgen for dinner

[daonpa]

in my opinion......Thomas wins, more precision......

[RorySinn]

The best bit is 5:42

[ssm0keweed420]

2:09, Joy to the world?

[Convisis]

I'M RICK JAMES BITCH!!!!

[TheGoliathsound]

I don't know why people even try to fuck wit' Thomas. You CAN'T! You just CAN'T!

Whoever the sound guy was probably never got work again after this horrible leveling.....HORRIBLE

[bcoklay2]

@TheGoliathsound ...tony royster jr did...and would again...gotta love thomas though :)

[TheGoliathsound]

@bcoklay2 Only cuz they have been friends since the fuckin early days.

[TheGoliathsound]

@bcoklay2 I bet that Thomas only hs fun jamming with Juniuh, cuz he is the only one who can keep up with Thomas. The only one who resents a challenge.......fuckin amazing to watch those guys.

[bjdeboy]

two legends not in a battle. But they are making music!

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Bruner is faster, but Pridgen seems to be a lot more creative.

[ambush77]

nice watermark..you think some one is going to rip off a lossy version of this vid..please..it's not even shot that well..ruined a good vid.

[kikme778]

They are mindblowing drummers, but all I hear is faosdhfaoisdjfa'efoijaer'gj459­0jt'349tj3w40t9jw3409jta940avm­90auw4v09umcraw4rva+49wrb

[drex48239]

@kikme778 did your computer explode

[PoeticJustice05]

Pridgen wins because his dick - I mean hi-hat - is bigger.

[poptrunk06]

@PoeticJustice05 gayest shit i heard all day

[PoeticJustice05]

@poptrunk06 yeah, it is pretty gay when two drummers are on stage jerking each other off, isn't it?

[triohenderson]

@PoeticJustice05 wow...!!!

[minstrel34]

3:17 omg!!!!

[brodestar93]

the greatest drumming youtube

[mrTooKanSam]

You don't fuck with Thomas Pridgen.

[dm6testa777]

@mrTooKanSam if yall notice pridgen was clicking his sticks against the drum rims more than bruner

[danYOdrummer]

Prdigen isa G but Bruner jr. is King

[f2theorrest]

NOM NOM NOM

[ImaFez]

try to keep 16th notes on one hand the whole time, preferably ur weaker hand. this is a good excercise

[jdrama1000]

i have been waiting forever to see a match up like this

[zkorekim]

The audio is some bull ... sounds like they're playing in a whales vagina.

Thomas be killin' as per usual though.

[jhared]

Where's my drums?

[Blkdru79]

Who ever is in charge of the cams needs to be fired quick! I am pisssss. How is Ron chopping for 20 seconds and the camera is on Thomas's foot while he is holding down the rhythm, then the camera on Ronald while Thomas is going ham on the drums! I mean if you think about it. We all just miss a whole bunch of chops from them cause the idiot who is controling the cams are not switching them quick enough.!!! They need to be fired fast!!

[Nateytracks]

@Blkdru79 More like the editor needs to get fired.

[minstrel34]

Thomas Pridgen is untouchable! He is giving it to Ron! And the Title says drum battle! do no one tell me there not!

[Spacecowboyy]

good god.

[daviddmo]

good!!!

[MrRyanSams]

this video makes me so happy :) Incredible!
