Tony Royster 12 year old monster drummer

[MrMannnMannn]

Take that Justin Biebr...

[fittedlover]

@MrMannnMannn yea he literally did , lol ,

[EvilPrince69]

Tony R at 12 had better left hand stick control than some "famous" drummers ever had. Ever. In fact, a lot of the most "famous" drummers ain't that "great" anyhow.

[DrZaa1]

Wow this kids rocks!!!

[PulseOfTheMagget1997]

The kids like charlie daniels but except violin is the drums,because that kid could kick the shit outta the devil in a drumming contest XD

[Drummerboyarmykid]

Im 13. And ive been drumming since i was 6. I could do really good wuth that drumset, but not as good as him. Keep it up kid.

[aa7643]

Dude you are so sick at drumming

[mikeyume1]

dude, this 12 year old child is better than most of your drummers in your bands. i wonder how long he played by this point. he must have practiced alot to get to this point.....

[mynameishail]

woah great..!

[cFhAx0R]

Fuck it, I quit. After seeing how many fuckin little kids are better than me when they're like 5 years younger than me, it's just impossible to make it

[stebbZv]

@cFhAx0R not impossible. practice more than 2 hours a day will make you achieve your goals. just gotta stick to it and believe that it is possible. never tell yourself that you are not good enough, or else that just what you will be, not good enough.

make schedules for practice time everyday and what you are going to be practicing. this will make you receive the most out of your practice.

if you really like playing drums, never stop and you will become one of the greats :)

cheers bud.

[DrummerGirl2112]

By far the most skilled AND professional (very different words) young drummer I've ever seen. Amazing showmanship.

[jemman777]

Incredible!!



[tavia451]

wow



[hkoel1derkonig]

Anyway, this kid at this age is better than most people that pick up sticks.

[hkoel1derkonig]

Haha I bet Joey Jordison was nervous when he watched this. I hate Slipknot.

But, this kid is amazing.

[metaliccorpes555]

@hkoel1derkonig Did you make a typo there, i coulda swore u said you hate slipknot...haha if not good joke

[mozcat]

what year was this video taken

[MetalDave98]

damn... that is what I call skill

[Xavi3rx3]

ç__ç

[loonie26]

let's see, at around 0:36 the toms were still making a noise and he wasn't hitting them.

Coincedence, or something more?

[RevPsychobilly]

@loonie26 you are retarded.

[loonie26]

@RevPsychobilly wow, calling me retarted because i was stating a point.

[nimster9]

of course hes black Lol jk

[scarsremain7]

yyyyyaaaaa joey jordinson aint got shit on this kid!!!!

[Heffey02]

172 people are just jealous.

[nimster9]

awww im 12 and starting drumming lessons on sunday and after watching this i wanna play the guitar -__-

[CLander270]

Wow, I think I'm a pretty good drummer now, but I'm still not quite this good and I'm 5 years older than he is here. This really puts me in my place.

[Eflatmajor7sharp11]

Wow - this is so musical. What a talent.

[Bellagattacat]

so cute at 12.WOW what a drummer!

[tommyXBOX360]

I lit my drumkit on fire after watching this... I play guitar now -_-

[manhart87]

This is my favourite drum solo of all time. It is so well build-up. Not just show-off with full power all the way through.

[J3FunkyFresh]

i love the beat at 6:25 !!!!

[HARDROCKISAWESOME]

where the fuck would you learn this stuff

[stieringer76]

@HARDROCKISAWESOME ...drumming at this level takes years of practice and has to start at a very young age. Takes a long time to develop your chops and you must study rudiments and apply them to the set. Most of what you hear is a rudiment of some sort just sounds cool as shit when you play that rudiment on several different surfaces. If it were played on one drum it would still be cool but not this awesome, that's where the real skill comes in!

[Lightyy93]

whut, 12? O_O

thats just.. woah

[Sabrason]

Never get tired of this....the best solo by a kid on YT.

[NubeAndNuber]

Let's see him play DEATH METAL DRUM STYLE!!!!

[TheMusicvent]

@NubeAndNuber Let's see a death metal drummer play this

[juspluky]

[rainbort]

[Breakside92]

[slashofdeath]

He now plays for Jay-Z.

[NolikargAven]

[GHMojo247]

[72nope]

[caspowns]

[Mis4el1973]

169 muppets dont like it that a 12 yr old plays way better than they ever will be. "Little" Tony Royster is 27 yrs old now tho.

[pixelneel]

[klaasdeboer]

Pretty easy when you've got headphones on.

[MrCruque]

OMFG HE IS AWSOME ITS AMAZING WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING YOU, I WANT THAT TOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[TheDrRevo]

This kid is gonna be a legend

[insanedrummer89]

its freakin amazing man.

I play drums to

check out my drum vids.

nothing like this, but i like to think i got my own style

[Vintersjel1313]

Why the fuck is this kid drumming for Jay Zee? He should be playin' for a metal band. With Jay Zee he's wasting his talent

[SquishTheLish]

@Vintersjel1313 I know right thats what I was thinking

[eareffect]

@Vintersjel1313 So he would in a metalband too ;)

[Vintersjel1313]

Why the fuck is this kid drumming for Jay Zee? He should be playin' for a metal band. With Jay Zee he's wting his talent

[CHRISTALJ73]

Geeze......?????????

[CambodianCustodian]

i dont even have to say anything.

[josephsleigh]

The Mojo likes!!

[00JTM]

This is really amazing! He actually has talent ... Pretty cool beat as well.

[metaldedicated4life]

[StringLesPaul]

6:08-6:41 is like the best part....well for me atleast.

[xNEFYOUx]

[xNEFYOUx]

and now he is the drummer for Jay-Z, Dude is fire, his shit is hot.

[TheSuperAmazingalex]

[SolegRoblox]

He would rip your arms off if you were to have a thumb war with this kid.

[4365006]

[TheRemixxx1999]

asså fan vad han måste ha övat på det xD!

[ck5550005551]

GREAT DRUMMER!!! ;) ILL BET NEIL PERT FROM RUSH IS PROUD OR VERY JEALOUS HAHAHAHA :D

[benny7100]

Yeah 5:52 :D

[rankalot]

I compare this kid's drumming to fireworks.. One second I'm like oooooooo then I'm like ahhhhhhhh...

[a7xdrummerdude1]

how does this kid even reach the pedals?

[dwdrummer1991]

2:07 is the ride beat in the guitar solo of "Freewill" by RUSH, but with double bass underneath. Killer influence! :)

[Slayer987123ify]

This kid is KRAZY!

[BetaDanU101]

DAMN! thats awsome!

[sExYJAke85]

sucks being a 17 year old drummer and seeing a twelve year annihilate you at what your best at. lol.

[stiannb]

look up the justin bieber plays drums it is noway near this standard

[huot911]

Unglaublich!

[2112pee]

すげー

[runningpanda12]

That's why i think Justin Bieber is not talented at ALL!!! Look at this kid! Justin just sings into a mic and fixes his voice with a computer. Not talent. Now this kid is!!!

[invulnerabledr]

@runningpanda12

Very true, this kid should be popular. Not Bieber, takes alot of talent and hard work to play an instrument.

[jts024]

lets see beiber do that

[lildannyfoof]

Unfreakinbelievable. And I have seen some pretty awesome drummers---as a stage tech, stage hand, builder, striker and transport driver for some big names. Keep it up.

[jehuj74johnson]

he is a beast

[GlitchHalo]

12 years old and understood so many important factors of a drummer:

1) form

2) technique

3) dynamics

4) groove

and gosh so many more!!

[I30T]

proof that aliens exist right here

[perkelepower]

very good drummer

[SuperSlipknot121]

52 second i saw smoke from his cymbals

[backinblack333]

I'm at twelve years old too, i play drum, i thought i was good, but now, maybe i'll think about it LOL :) good job, man!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!

[MAORITRIX]

@andre2k60 , definite reincarnation.

[seattlehawkins]

Nobody told him that "Niggers can't be drummers" :D Well, Hope this helps!

[DsiWiiReview]

@seattlehawkins like i said in another video stop being a racist fag butt fucker

[seattlehawkins]

@DsiWiiReview GAY-MER!

[Carlosmn22]

MUITO FIXE

[tyza98]

bloody awsome drummer. im ok. i got into vca in year seven.

[saintanger98]

this makes you want to stop drumming(pure humiliation)

[SparkleSunshine23]

@saintanger98 this should inspire you to want to be better than him not to stop drumming

[awesomegirlnye]

@saintanger98 ikr haha

[1flowmedia]

@saintanger98 Or practice more.

[Patrickthesk8er]

@saintanger98 i know tht i got pissed off

[TheMetalhead52]

what year is this?

[redwingsfan198]

oooooooggg my goooooooooood!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:­D awsome!

[1Daddoz1]

Reminds me of a young Dennis Chambers. He is simply amazing. At such a young age, he just has the skills. Unbelievable talent. Wow......

[thinkoner]

i quit.

[la12muerta]

seriously being a primarily metal guitarist i'm picturing some wierd ass metalcore shit over this and it actually sounds kinda funky xD... hmmm, might be the weed O_o"

[000sicair]

@la12muerta haha your comment got me picturing metal shit

[robertcoteanu]

this is the best fu... inkg drumer i've ever seen or heard.

[RazrHack]

I love how, compared to how he plays today, this solo sucks xD

On its' own, though? One of the best things I've watched.

[Mattster279]

2 words.. DAMN IMPRESSIVE

[erny4321]

Neil Peart look out!!

[MuziqSoul114]

Sorry to say he's in his twenties already.. This is super old..

[KurdtKobain09]

FUCK YOU KID I can't even do that :)

[vanoi71]

That kid is SICK! He has a Gadd feel about him with his simplicity. Soul at the end of those sticks!!!

[Durgrimstvern]

Looks like Avenged Sevenfold's replacement drummer.

[911violentagro]

@Durgrimstvern this guy is a completely different style from that band. they wouldnt mesh well together.

[FabiW1993]

wow he really got all my respect...he is a fast technical drummer...

[patrickcarroll123]

@jerseyrocker57 LIAR

[keepntyme]

Unbelievable, yes the comments coming from kevinp496691 ! AND Yes Tony, he is amazing and check him out today!  He keeps getting better.

[drummerxstrawdonare]

I feel sorry for this kid. I bet he didn't just pick up sticks one day saying I wanna be a drummer. I blame the parents

[kevinp496691]

@vrdrums solo or not it should still have a rythm and sound good rather then just make a ton of noise that sounds about as good as what a toddler can do with a toy drumset <_<...

[pigletjr]

@kevinp496691 this video is all rythm dude

[kevinp496691]

il give him that... hes fast.... but no rythm... just making a load of noise..... great drummer= Phill Collins, Kieran Gaffney, Travis Barker... trying to think of more...

[mq007]

@kevinp496691 Travis Barker? I'll have what you're smoking

[Zezerec]

@kevinp496691 Kieran Gaffney? Travis Barker? lol.

[pwnage51]

@kevinp496691 hes not just playing fast. a drum solo doesnt have to be the same time signature or tempo through the entire thing. its not a song, its a solo performance.

[tjthegreat7]

@kevinp496691 you heard him play with Jay Z? He keeps it rather simple and plays in the pocket it's probably more your style simplistic lol

[LUckybones25]

Holy CRAP! That kid is effing AMAZING! 

[jlb2]

Hey, sorry! A friend pointed that fact out to me as well. Just looked at some of his other videos. he's a great drummer. JB

[28trod]

wow

[RazrHack]

And to think, he's somehow even better today.

[mardi06]

I started taking drum lessons at 10 years old after i saved my lawn mowing money to buy a Pearl Drum kit. At 12, the same age as this young man, people thought I was good and a natural talent. I can tell you this I NEVER played any where near as good as this kid. Wow!

[JDS773]

This is AMAZING !

[johhnytest123]

there is smothing wrong with dis kid



[RockDrum3r]

O,O

[jlb2]

Dude has some seriuos chops! Like to see him grow into and play with less drums, though. H'ed discover sounds that Tony WIlliams discovered

[AlexxEnsane]

@jlb2 this was shot like ten years ago lol hes like 20 now

[brandon1191]

lol.. look how fast his foot is going 1:37

[mindbottle1]

if someone i hard this somewhere with out see the video i would say this kid can not me 12 i think he is one of the best drummer on this world!!!!

[elitbeats]

[TheeFinchLynch]

163 dunderheads hate 12 year old phenoms. They're either racist or jealous. Either way, they're all tards.

This kid is so precise and crisp on and off the beat it's like he's a damn robot.

[MsHannahBrooke]

this kid was and is a master of noise he has more beat in his pulse than any of yall talking shit and even moby dick would let him on his drum set this kid is talented and fucking amazing

[bakednotfriedchipstv]

my friend is 12 and he can play way better then him
