Ten years ago! Wow. I can remember choking on my drink in awe when T Roy dropped 777-9311 at 4:17 - I miss my hometown of Brisbane, they’ve really cultivated a reinvigorated sub culture of Jams. Big respect to Michael Casey aka 21hundred, the Godfather of Brisbane’s Jam scene.
This is one of the best venues I seen young TONY play. What makes it special to me its a local place and Royster feels the Funk vibe of the crowd and his playing shows it.
tony hit the drums more times in one minute then most rockers do in a full hour. it was great to see him sit in on someone else's small kit and play it like it was his. i wonder if he tuned it up first ? it sounded great.
I really wish everyone would stop comparing everyone today. They all bring something different and unique to the table. Just enjoy them for who they are. Regardless of whose better at what, tony and weckl are both unreal drummers who have made their mark on the instrument with two awesome, very different approaches. Yet we'll always love hearing both of em.
I don't think I've ever been as mad at anyone as I was at the person standing up at 6:05....LOL! Instant blood pressure spike! on a lighter note, God, I love the sound of hats......
Tony is like, ok, let me just play you some groovy stuff like bam pa dam thss pa dam ... and then let me just go into my berserk mode!!! And the crowd is like, whaaaaaaat???
Tony is one of the biggest pocket player out there..and this is a free jam man...nothing more nothing less..it's just a free style session..on beat or off beat who gives a freaking shhh...I think tony just wanna have fun...and music is fun...you don't have to always discuss or analyze music...open your soul brothers..and create your time..on jam session we can go anywhere no boundaries..Just music with no click or time..be the artist and create your own time
completely agree. I dont think there is a single musician who enjoys being "stuck". most times I catch myself dividing my playing techniques between solo jams and group jams. Tony manages to combine both quite well when playing with a group.
@ThePhanin every wednesday night in Brisbane. @ Alloneword Bar. 188 Brunswick st. Fortitude Valley. we've jammed with a lot big name cats down there. but this night was very special!
Do you listen to fusion music? We all know it's not about the chops but having a good variety of chops helps. In Tony's instance which is really what we were talking about here, He has played for alot of musicans in a number of different genres so I think he knows what works in his style of drumming. With that aside this vid was about him showing is musical talent to those who may not know of him. Hence the term 'Trading Chops.'
@iplaykazoo1300 its simple in theory. Hes playing doubles between his right hand and the kick. Gives a great illusion of having a double kick. The speed and clarity he's playing it at is unreal.
tamadrummer5 I can tell you must be a rock drummer, with this stye of music he's allowed to do be free as long as that groove is still there. He is also trading solos with the bass player therefore he doesn't have to hold back, he is having a conversation now.
I always thought during this performance Tony was behind the 4 count...and the band picked it up. That's a good band to not get lost when drummers switch count. because was behind the 4 and on top of it at times coming out of his solos...
I don't know if anyone noticed but Tony busted a badass Tupac beat, one of my favorites, "Whatz Yo Phone #" around 4:17. Check it out. OH and that was a badass jam sess too.
To say tony doesn't groove with his solos especially when there is a band with him is a MAJOR misconstrued observation of his rhythm and technical prowess combined its because he can groove so technically speaking why people marvel at the most... well i know i do...

The groove master .. These guy are so gifted, mad respect from Melbourne Musicians
His fills are so clean and precise! I love the snare! Perfect tuning for this jam. T roy is definitely 1 of my all time faves.

Tony and Aaron best drummers in America!!!
Holy shit !! That bass drum was already running away from him! Lol he had to pull it back in .. What a beast !
completely agree. I dont think there is a single musician who enjoys being "stuck". most times I catch myself dividing my playing techniques between solo jams and group jams. Tony manages to combine both quite well when playing with a group.
2:13 rock with you !!
I'm just having an eargasm!!
Aussies are lucky to see this.
Wtf??? Uau, great musicians having fun. That's what it is. They're having a jam with lots of give and take.
This is COOL !
@ThePhanin every wednesday night in Brisbane. @ Alloneword Bar. 188 Brunswick st. Fortitude Valley.
we've jammed with a lot big name cats down there. but this night was very special!
How do you get invited to one of these things!!!! I want to be there!!

Bruh!!! No I didn't know that!! But now I do!!! thanks guy

Bass player is from Brisbane. He is on Gospel Chops but plays bass for Planetshakers. :)
3:47 African beat I play at my church. Amazing.
SICKNESS!!!!!
I'm happy : )
All i can say is one of the best , it's too subjective to say which one is "the best" , cuz they both got their advantage
6:06 breaks my heart every time.
it's funny cause he plays so good
He is simply at his best. 3:00 was awsoome
Tony played amazing as expected. Does anyone know who the bassist is? His playing is excellent too!
anyone know of a studio version of this, or something similar
no one will hate or dislike this amazing video ^_^
damn, freak of nature !
man too sick.
never repeated the same lick twice....Go tony!
So much groove! love it. Is the a higher quality recording around?
For me, it is not only a groove that there is a technique.
awesome!
@iplaykazoo1300 its simple in theory. Hes playing doubles between his right hand and the kick. Gives a great illusion of having a double kick. The speed and clarity he's playing it at is unreal.
is that guy on the keyboards the guy from big bang theory that lenard guy?
That bass player got them nasty licks ! #REALTALK
tony royster is relentless..sheesh
4:18 he started playing Morris Day's "777-9311". Look it up if you dont believe me. Its one of my Favs!

0:39 so great groove!
tony is a beast
THE GROOVE
Why is that guy on his knees at 7:20? Is that the guy from hot tub time machine?
200k likes at a small bar.. Amazing!
No one on this planet can outchop Tony Royster. If you know someone else then by all means prove me wrong.
@divadrum man I geeked the fuck out when he slipped that in there that night. I nearly choked on the ice in my drink!
The idol...!
tamadrummer5 I can tell you must be a rock drummer, with this stye of music he's allowed to do be free as long as that groove is still there. He is also trading solos with the bass player therefore he doesn't have to hold back, he is having a conversation now.
I always thought during this performance Tony was behind the 4 count...and the band picked it up. That's a good band to not get lost when drummers switch count. because was behind the 4 and on top of it at times coming out of his solos...
Wow, that's mental ;)
What song is that beat from that Tony played at 2:12.
I don't know if anyone noticed but Tony busted a badass Tupac beat, one of my favorites, "Whatz Yo Phone #" around 4:17. Check it out. OH and that was a badass jam sess too.
To say tony doesn't groove with his solos especially when there is a band with him is a MAJOR misconstrued observation of his rhythm and technical prowess combined its because he can groove so technically speaking why people marvel at the most... well i know i do...
What'd you do win a "Have Tony Play in your band for a night " contest? That's what iy looked like!!
