      His cross-overs are insane. I can do a cross-over but not that nonchalant, fluid and smooth. He makes it look so fucking easy

    He was able to do things at 9 years of age that at 48 I still can't do. Some people just have "it" and he's one of them. I've followed him all through his career and I'm a fan. And considering how much I normally hate drum solos, I can happily sit through his because they tell more of a story than simply telling how how many chops he has. I love him.

    First off, this video was post 4 days ago as of today (March 22nd, 2107) and it has 40,464 views!!! That is INSANE!!! Secondly, Tony's solo was off the charts, literally!!! The things that he's able to do is so unconventional, but yet it almost seems normal. Thirdly, his combinations come from another time and space!!! Lastly, I always said that Tony Royster, Jr. was thee torch bearer that led all of the new young drummers (and some old ones) into the new millennium. We're 17 years in it and he's still leading the way!!!

    Every time I watch Tony play, I can't help but giggle at astonishment! I absolutely love this guy. I've learned so much just by listening to him speak, and watching him play. Less is more, which is what I think makes this drum solo so great. Creativity should always dominate speed, not that speed isn't impressive, but being creative is what matters the most as a musician. Save your special tricks for occasion, because that makes them more impressive.

Take into consideration his chops, licks, and the way he implements basic rudiments and turns them up a couple notches and manipulates them onto the set. He's iconic.
