I must say that I'm truly humbled. I have respect for such pure musicianship... Tony Royster is definitely one of the most excellent drummers of all time.
Yeah it's clear he has a double pedal but the part where he says that's just 1 pedal is where tony a fast double stroke on the kick & he was pointing out hat he was doing it with one foot. Also for those complaining about him talking, remember this is not a proper recording of the invent with mics but someone recording from their own device so he can say an express hisself as he please. I would of been hype to watching tony play in person
I've been seeing Tony for years, and the dude is obviously a world-class drummer ... but, somehow, in this clip .... he left earth on us. Some of that crap he was pulling out was kind of inhuman.
That was musical genius at its best. What's with all u ppl disrespecting great muso's like tony we need more amazing people like him. Musicianship is all about creating an striving 2 better urself whatever ur choice of inStrument maybe. Tony was born on earth 4 his out of this world skills an amazing' AMAZING!!! Talent. All muso share a common gift that feeling that can't b explained when on stage jamming a uforic feeling. Imbrace all aspects of music it will always evolve. Thank u 4 sharing ur
Johnnyboy200406 Billy Cobham, Dennis Chambers, Narada Michael Walden, and more ... look them up. In fact, Dennis Chambers introduced Tony when he was a kid and mentored him. Billy Cobham is the father of this power drumming technique playing in all kinds of meters. He first came to prominence with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the early 70’s . What we see today is not even an advancement on what he did back then.
ya he is one of my favorites! i meet him GC hollywood clinic. he told me the secret to his great drumming is practice to failure and find the sweet spot on the bass pedal to be fast on in.
Tony I just want to let you know you have it going on I know you put in a lot of time and I know that your mother came down to the studio to see what your gift was and that was the end of that and now you are consistently progressing and growing and now you're professional keep up the good work.
@Jztwrshp3 thanks! the thing that i admire of tony is his speed, technique and most of all his style of playing he makes it look soy easy!! he plays so naturally!
GODDAMN, I can just barely wrap my mind around what he's doing @ 4:45 -- it's a half time beat that pulses THREE beats to every FOUR of the ensemble's downbeat. He's A Fuckin Monster!
Watching him really makes me wonder is it possible for me to be that good.....BUT that just means i gotta train like heck! Not gonna get close to his level without some blood, sweat, and tears!
Listen bro. Ur not. Tony. Or ur name would be......ur a drummer in god's kingdom. We come in all com n different categories.... We n joy an learn from each other..........march on drumm. Key is. Stay. Hungry
@phillip2922 I agree. Thomas pridgen said that when he was small he played drumsets where the snare was barely on the stand and the seat was falling off. He said he never got into that adjusting because he just wanted to play drums.
Incredible Drumming. Tony has a vast toolbox of technique, feel, groove, speed & timing. I got tired watching this because there is so much to take in. I don't buy into the "Who Is The Best Drummer" but Tony is an amazing drummer & will be remembered as one of the greats in the drumming community.
in my opinion he's already surpas most people......chambers,jojo,pridgen,d roddy,marco m,spanky,boots........there all legends but ive never seen anyone hit combos like royster...he does the hardest shit ever without even thinking about it and he's sooo smooth and never misses.
I must say that I'm truly humbled. I have respect for such pure musicianship... Tony Royster is definitely one of the most excellent drummers of all time.
An. Dennis
Just realized the keyboard player is Cory Henry now what a combination 2 young brilliant musicians

BEST TONY ROYSTER JR VIDEO ON TH-cam EVER
Very nice! Love watching Tony Roy tear it up... Those Sabian's sounds very nice!
That's my man Jamaal Hampton who is recording, he made it to the Guitar Center finals in 2011, so he can talk all he want.
If I ever play that well, I would never play again. Id be to busy staring at my own hands in amazement.
those Nikes under Tony are freaking me out. Oh yeah, and sick playing as always.
for a minute i was like.. damm, he's not even moving his feet!
Tony has incredible skill and insane timing. His approach and "feel" has a bit of Billy Cobham flava. Great playing!
It's funny...
Because he was Exposed to all the Greats coming up.......
i just realized thiat was corey henry on keys lol
Oh snap it is!!
Wow‼️ back then I didn’t know who Corey Henry was foreal but to see this old video from 10 years ago and to see him on keys!🤦🏾♂️ sheesh‼️
This is so ahead of its time!!!
Damn he's incredible. His improvisational skill is unmatched.
EPIC! Best Drummer I've ever heard.
i watch this daily. nothing but amazing.
Truly the greatest drummer of all time , there has never been anyone like him.

Do you know CJ THOMPSON?GET BACK TO ME AFTER WATCHING HIM
Tony and cory were sick back 08 and even sicker now

Impressionante 🔥🔥🔥
Ha una velocità disumana. 👊👊
GOAT... BEST EVER
Sigh. My sticks can do all that, just in my hands they can't.
TRJ is amazing! Years ago I saw him playing at the age of 12 and I knew we'd be seeing more from him.
Tony I just want to let you know you have it going on I know you put in a lot of time and I know that your mother came down to the studio to see what your gift was and that was the end of that and now you are consistently progressing and growing and now you're professional keep up the good work.
cada dia mas Tony !!!!! AWESOME !!! Saludos desde Buenos Aires !
Im not sure which is more impressive:
His playing or
The fact that the bassist and pianist can actually keep up with what he is doing.
This is the best drum tuning you will hear at a guitar center ever
Whenever I need to humble myself I watch this.
I Dont see how ANYBODY can even TRY to hate on this dude. Best I ever heard
🔥 CRAZY FIRE!!! 🔥
TONY FREAKING ROYSTER WHEEEEEEEW!!!! That was outer world drumming!!!
I love it when the audience gets involved :P
@Jztwrshp3 thanks! the thing that i admire of tony is his speed, technique and most of all his style of playing he makes it look soy easy!! he plays so naturally!
GODDAMN, I can just barely wrap my mind around what he's doing @ 4:45 -- it's a half time beat that pulses THREE beats to every FOUR of the ensemble's downbeat.
He's A Fuckin Monster!
Best Drummer of All Time.

@drummusician true that bro!!> thanks guy behind the camera!!
this is one of my fav tony vid!
Respect Tony Royster Jr
I love how the judges are videotaping him too!
he's like the best drummer alive right now for sure.
Absolutely insane drumming.
they're all amazing musicians they went ham espically tony
I'd like to see Tony and cory Henry and Victor wooden do a jam session who else thinks that would be amazing
Jay White is a beast on bass, he and Cory are cousins I believe.
He was not competing, in fact he was one of the judges. His play was also after the contest was over.
Man Tony Royster not only bring the drummers out.... Look at all the women in the crowd! Drummers get all the love...lol!
Wow over 5-8 years later I just realized that’s Cory Henry 🤯🤯🤯
Holy Crap... a Total Improvement In the last year!! Tony Ftw! :D
a Gift from Jesus
Tony ROYSTER IS FANTASIC.
How are his sticks not on fire?
He's to damn cool.
Insanely GREAT!
I love the drum set
What's so amazing is that he can with both hands playing seperate rythums or together, basiclly using both sides of the brain,WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!
I would give literally my entire body to be able play like that :P
Fantastic!
Wow.... Tony, Chris Dave, Spank, Aaron Spears..... I watch these guys religiously.....
@phillip2922 I agree. Thomas pridgen said that when he was small he played drumsets where the snare was barely on the stand and the seat was falling off. He said he never got into that adjusting because he just wanted to play drums.
why did the audience kept saying "Glory"?
+McKinney Brothers - Because the keyboard breaks Cory was playing when the bass player started to hit they hear in church. That's Cory's start.
Insane!!
I'm glad this happened.
5 star vote from me.
THIS GUY IS JUST IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL.
After all the years I’m just now realizing that’s Cory Henry
This is SICK.
Incredible Drumming.
Tony has a vast toolbox of technique, feel, groove, speed & timing.
I got tired watching this because there is so much to take in.
I don't buy into the "Who Is The Best Drummer" but Tony is an amazing drummer & will be remembered as one of the greats in the drumming community.
heck yeah, he's the best man
All those people in the audience are like peasants watching a wizard throw fireballs. 😆🥁💥💥
That dude is a flat out monster! Did you see the clip for when he played at the NAMM convention for Teddy Riley? Killed it!
@zdrumT He is using a double pedal you can see it at some points :)
@SteefStevens Damien Schmitt is a beast. Thanks for the hook up. Of course Im a Steve Gadd, and Dave Weckl fan. who are your favs?
in my opinion he's already surpas most people......chambers,jojo,pridgen,d roddy,marco m,spanky,boots........there all legends but ive never seen anyone hit combos like royster...he does the hardest shit ever without even thinking about it and he's sooo smooth and never misses.
THIS IS FREAKIN SICK
