Tony Royster jr. - then 12 years old - Appearance Modern Drummer Festival 1997...more Videos here at DRUMMERWORLD: www.drummerworld.com #tonyroysterjr #drummerworld
40 years of drumming and trying to always finid the best musicians possible, this might be the most perfect, well put-together drum solos I have ever, I mean ever heard.
Yeah, that's what really struck me too. For all the weapons-grade technique on display, his sense and execution of color, timing, drama and long-range form building are astonishing for a person of his age. It's positively Mozart-ian.
For a 12 year old to explore ideas and return to them later to the extent that Tony did in this solo is remarkable. Nevermind the flawless execution..!
All things considered, this is still the most shocking drumming showcase I've ever seen. This is above Buddy Rich. That a twelve-year-old could play it is nothing short of a miracle. I know this is an insane statement, but this was Tony Royster's peak. He never performed anything as unbelievable as this.
i remember when i was 12 and only a few months into playing, i saw this video and felt like giving up, but eventually it became a great motivator. classic solo
This is simply the best solo ever played for all the drummers in the world. It's built from techniques that are not only spectacular but very musical if you play them in the band! They would be otherwise lost forever!

I remember seeing this at the music store I took lessons at. This is how you know that someone is a legit prodigy.

I've watched this solo hundreds of times. It's one of my all time faves, for sure!
You knew then he was going to be an Elite Drummer Wheeewww!!!
Damn, I remember watching this video on eBaumsworld or something like it back in the golden internet!

Yeah to say tony never got any better than this is definitely an insane statement.
Tony was simply amazing here, but he did continue to improve and get even better. Just an amazing drummer.
One of the best 👍🏽👍🏽

I literally don't believe what I just saw.
Literally?
Think about it spiritually
You know I hope everyone realizes that some people don't have to be taught

I loved his videos with Dennis Chambers. Always felt like a drumset wasn't just for adults.
I didn’t even know my 9 times table when I was 12 😂
The kit sounds crazy in the first minute or so.
From the the first time I'd seen this years ago right up until this one, WHAT IN THE WORLD???? Tony Royster was and IS utterly Amazing.
Great, motivation. Drums for any age!!
Simply outstanding, such evidence of practice make perfect. Effluent is within.....
WOW!
Haven't seen many things in life more epic than this
Same
TONY ROYSTER JR.!

great sound he had at such young age!
Wow! Child musical prodigy! I like his unique stick slap under the cymbal and high hat.
mind blowing!
Блин, это пипец как круто!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Шикардос! С приветом из России.
💥💥💥💥💥
I had to pause this while I went and burned my kit ……
Gifts on God in Heaven can give...
I think he was younger than 12 in this video.
Se le salio la Paciencia de Tony Royster jr 😠
imagine if that was your kid
I hope everybody realizes that somebody doesn't always have to be taught how to play
His teacher 👁️👄👁️
Billy Cobham is the best drummer
Yeah only the devil can play the drums like that
대가들은 20전에 끝을내죠 대단해요
빨리 드럼을 포기한것도 현명한 선택이였지요
