guys give jay z and his crew credit, they were smart enough to get tony royster into their tour. for musicians who love a good drive in the beat in hip hop they made a fantastic choice. tony royster forever haha
@jediwise people don't really understand what he's saying.. Either cos he speaks to fast or his metaphors are just complicated or hard to catch.. But he's got a MEAN flow.. See him live next time he's in your town.. He puts on the best show of any artist period I've seen live
It's the job of the WHOLE band to ensure a kick-ass gig. Jay-Z was tight as ever on this gig, The Drummer, Bassist, Hell even the DJ always make Jigga a great act to see. When I saw Jay-Z live he freestyled with no beat for 2 minuets, shortly after Tony Royster freestyled on the drums and even the guitarists gave an awesome freestyle.
Oo oo me too...Ahem!!! I wish jay-z would shut the f*ck up!! He makes as if all those people in the audience bought jay-z tickets!!!...oh wait, i think i fuckd up there somewhere.
NISAN STEWART SUGGESTED TONY FOR THE GIG so Jay-Z 's Musical Director hired him. People who don't know who Tony is just knows him as "The drummer"
No matter WHO YOU ARE if you're HIRED to play for a artist it's YOUR JOB to make sure the artist's music SOUND and FEEL GOOD until they give you the freedom to play wild solo other than that you MUST be tastefully solid.
Again,The only person shining should be the artist anyway unless the artist gives the band freedom to express themselves.
dont know why people bust on on Jay-Z. He was knowledgable enough to hire tony. He knows a good drummer. IMO this is a great gig for everyone involved.
All u dumbazzez saying Jay needs 2 " shut up, u can't hear Tony " WTH??!! @ 1:11 when he says " check this boy out " he doesn't touch the mic again until 1:25, ur hearing the track vocalsduring that break, DUH!! & from 1:54-the end, is like it's supposed 2 be, "drum fills" over the breaks, not a " drum solo "..... Jay, was fine....T Royster, is killin'.....he's playing the hell out of this gig, very musical chops!! Not a bunch of mindless/distracting licks...!! 1:54-1:57, nice!
This is one impressive performance by Tony Royster Jr. This guy is a freaking MONSTER on drums. Technique, dynamics, clean and fundamental. What does this guy not have? Personally, I would put him against anybody in the world. This guy can play anything and he is so fun to watch!. Him and Portnoy are the best as far as im concerned. They need to show that bass player some love too! That guy was killing it!
@losingsighthxc I'm 100% with you ! Tony Royster Jr and Mike Portnoy are my favorites too, very different styles but they are both so far above the others...
You guys crack me up. If its not a sports team, a band, drummer, fuck, I bet if I went to a video of an amazing golfer ---- there would be a handful of idiots arguing about who's REALLY the man... come on, get some sophistication. One thing that kills me is that, of all these people you guys argue about - none gives a flying shit about you and they are all rich as fuck probably, so yo REALLY DO need to get lives. Someone pinch me.
tony royster is absolutely killing it - so good i come back and watch the video time and time again just to be amazed at not only his perfection but also confidence in himself to play so intricately for such a big event. also on a side note, love the bass walking up at 2:09 - amazing!
Why even compare the 2....they both do their thing and are completely different. Tony is a beast - on a whole different level. Travis is just fun to watch cuz he hits really fuckin hard.
Too every debating about good drummers. Steve Jordan & ?uestlove. 2 of the most highest paid session drummers in the world. All they do is just sit in the pocket
I dont understand why so many people hate on travis barker, hes good enough to add technical beats and speedy rhythms to punk rock. Id say that takes at least some talent...
@death2u886 That's not that new though. Terry Chimes and Topper Headon did it before him, bringing reggae, ska and even pop styled beats into punk. Admittedly they did have the advantage of being in the greatest punk band of all time, The Clash.
man I love Jay-Z. Its like hes gone "I need a bassist, a drummer, a guitarist and a brass section. The stuff they're going to play is like basic but just find the best musicians you possibly can"
Tony Royster is an absolute god. My favourite drummer and this performance by Jay-Z is probably my favourite live performance by any artist ever, the whole set was unreal. The song "there aint no love in the heart of the city" combined with "bloody Sunday" by U2, almost made me cry man. No joke.
why does rap on albums always suck? but then sound amazing live? Has no one noticed this? Might be a few more crossovers if they captured a live sound...eh?
@a1Drummer07 because most hip hop albums have synthesized instruments. and when they go live it probably sounds empty as balls. plus you can never go wrong with a full live band
i feel tha same damn way. dey dont eva wanna give us drummaz no damn recognition. dis nigga T-Roy doin tha damn thing n cameraman on some ol bullshit! ayo T; fuck what them otha niggaz on, nigga, do yo shit, nigga. mo power 2 u my dude. 1.
@ mr spring something is really wrong with you if you think travis barker dont have rudiments you must not b from another planet you crazy . they both is sick they both making money and u at home wishing that was you on tour so ndont hate ur time coming soon dawg.they have totally 2 different styles anyways if u were a real musician u would kno that. Travis been knowing how to play the music for a long time musicolody is important
Maybe you have never heard of this...but a drum solo doesn't have to be when all the music completely stops and the drummer flails the drum set to death. I think this video really sets the example for a real drum solo. Keep the beat, while showing your shit, but still keeping the energy + time going.
I love how people are tryna trash Travis lol. I guarantee Travis what trash anyone on here lol. Tony and Travis have 2 different styles. And i guarantee if you put Travis on this gig with Jay Z, he would still smash this gig. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!! There's a reason why both of the these guys have been successful.....THEY'RE GOOD!!! And for the haters....Hop off Travis. If your so much better get off youtube and go get endorsed!!! I'M OUT!!!! lol
I totally agree with you man, although I do think styles can't be compared. Tony is more based on a hip-hop/gospel style, and Travis, as much as many may disagree, is a rock drummer - it's just how it is. But Rock and Hip-hop can't be compared, they involve different abilities and different technical aspects. And trust me, I grew up listening to Blink-182, i know Travis is the man :P
Travis Barker? Don't make me laugh. I've done particularly talentless shits that have more talent than that moron. TR Jr isn't even on the same fucking planet as that assshite
Travis Barker is just Noise...he just plays hard n with hardly any rudiments n unique patterns..TonY ROYSTer is THE best at what he does..mastered almst all tha rudemnts u can think of from probly age 12..Yall Need to Look him Up
@MrSpringy77 I absolutely agree TRjr is the best at what he does -- he's incredible. And I also agree he's better than Travis Barker, but for you to say Travis doesn't play any rudiments is ridiculous. He's all about the rudiments. You have heard him play, haven't you?
@ElQuesoDiablo didnt say he doesnt ..i said he Hardly plays any..Travis doesnt realli specialize in rudiments etc cuz he's a rock player n in rock u mostly jus play hard n 1 n 2 average rolls. Dnt need as much skills as playn RnB n hiphop n blues
@MrSpringy77 Stop overestimating what you saw on this vid. RnB and blues is indeed hard to play with proper groove, but most hip hop and stuff like that nowadays has a very basic beat structure =\
@MrSpringy77 To the guy saying Travis Barker plays with no rudiments, how do you explain this: /watch?v=2aA-aKkgqNs ???? Not a huge fan of Travis, but you shouldn't hate a guy just to hate.
@thefroh1 Dont say shit if u dont know shit...ITs clear that u dnt kno wat the hell rudiments means. That travis vid was just simply rolling fast. drumming is not all about speed. /watch?v=J6T4OwacRL0 Theres a whole lot more to drummin than speed n noise. btw this is Tony @ 12
@MrSpringy77 ARE YOU SERIOUS?? have some respect, tony is great and all but, travis can play drums like a son of a bitch. listen to some old blink 182 you fool.
travis and tony are different drummers, I'm not saying tony aint better than travis but still they bouth have different styles and travis's doesn't have much technicallity but the dude has bad ass grooves, and tony has all the technic that you need to play jazz songs he has that school, on the other side travis has a hip hop/punk rock background and he really is the best on what he does and is a great performer and big brains for good songs
thats because the camera man on stage was in shock like i was when i first filmed TRj at the age of ten, before realized what hit me started properly filmingaccordingly. but i had hit the pause button by mistake from all the excitement. :D
Jeez, things like this really annoy me. So obvious this is a song where the drummer stands out, but noooo, let point the camera on the brass, and when it's actually Roy's time to shine, lets put the camera on a still J-Z!! Well done producer!! Go get paid now. Ohh, and cut to the drummer just after he's finished a brilliant drum roll/solo, that's the one...idiot.
I am a drummer who can also play some serious shit and I used to play for Kid Rock and I also got shit from people who knew me and had seen me play in many other musical styles, hey props to Tony Royster! Fuck all these haters man, he is probably havin' a blast up there, and personally I love hip hop!!!
@Monsterdrumma Mate i agree 100%! Tony's already made a huge name for himself. He doesnt need to be centre stage with all the coolest rock bands. He loves RnB etc, so fuck it, he's living his dream playing with one of the greatest rappers today!
If you listen to the stuff Tony was doing before Jay-Z you will notice a strikeing similarity, it sucked too. The guys a fantastic drummer, but wtf? Money talks and to each their own. Just wish he was in a band where he wasnt the only one with superb talent. @donald4789 : my sentiments exactly.
guys give jay z and his crew credit, they were smart enough to get tony royster into their tour. for musicians who love a good drive in the beat in hip hop they made a fantastic choice. tony royster forever haha

@MrSpringy77 I would actually attempt to prove you wrong (which you are) if what you typed was readable. (=

@MrSpringy77 I absolutely agree TRjr is the best at what he does -- he's incredible. And I also agree he's better than Travis Barker, but for you to say Travis doesn't play any rudiments is ridiculous. He's all about the rudiments. You have heard him play, haven't you?

@ElQuesoDiablo didnt say he doesnt ..i said he Hardly plays any..Travis doesnt realli specialize in rudiments etc cuz he's a rock player n in rock u mostly jus play hard n 1 n 2 average rolls. Dnt need as much skills as playn RnB n hiphop n blues

@MrSpringy77 Stop overestimating what you saw on this vid. RnB and blues is indeed hard to play with proper groove, but most hip hop and stuff like that nowadays has a very basic beat structure =\

@MrSpringy77 To the guy saying Travis Barker plays with no rudiments, how do you explain this: /watch?v=2aA-aKkgqNs ???? Not a huge fan of Travis, but you shouldn't hate a guy just to hate.

@thefroh1 Dont say shit if u dont know shit...ITs clear that u dnt kno wat the hell rudiments means. That travis vid was just simply rolling fast. drumming is not all about speed. /watch?v=J6T4OwacRL0 Theres a whole lot more to drummin than speed n noise. btw this is Tony @ 12

travis and tony are different drummers, I'm not saying tony aint better than travis but still they bouth have different styles and travis's doesn't have much technicallity but the dude has bad ass grooves, and tony has all the technic that you need to play jazz songs he has that school, on the other side travis has a hip hop/punk rock background and he really is the best on what he does and is a great performer and big brains for good songs

thats because the camera man on stage was in shock like i was when i first filmed TRj at the age of ten, before realized what hit me started properly filmingaccordingly. but i had hit the pause button by mistake from all the excitement. :D

Love how Jay-Z just stops and turns around and Tony in amazement, shame they didn't show the solo :(.

Jeez, things like this really annoy me. So obvious this is a song where the drummer stands out, but noooo, let point the camera on the brass, and when it's actually Roy's time to shine, lets put the camera on a still J-Z!! Well done producer!! Go get paid now. Ohh, and cut to the drummer just after he's finished a brilliant drum roll/solo, that's the one...idiot.

I am a drummer who can also play some serious shit and I used to play for Kid Rock and I also got shit from people who knew me and had seen me play in many other musical styles, hey props to Tony Royster! Fuck all these haters man, he is probably havin' a blast up there, and personally I love hip hop!!!
Monsterdrumma 2 years ago
@Monsterdrumma Mate i agree 100%! Tony's already made a huge name for himself. He doesnt need to be centre stage with all the coolest rock bands. He loves RnB etc, so fuck it, he's living his dream playing with one of the greatest rappers today!

If you listen to the stuff Tony was doing before Jay-Z you will notice a strikeing similarity, it sucked too. The guys a fantastic drummer, but wtf? Money talks and to each their own. Just wish he was in a band where he wasnt the only one with superb talent. @donald4789 : my sentiments exactly.
