I google Tony Royster Jr every couple of months when I think I'm getting better at drumming just to remind myself of how far I have to go. Love this guy.
What's crazy is he was ridiculously good like this at 13 and 14 ,, and since then has still gotten way better
9 years & never have I ever related more to a comment than this one. 🥇🏆
The fact that Thomas Lang is there makes it even more exciting!... haha.
Shit, i didn't see him behind the speaker, untill your message. Haha, Thomas Lang great great drummer also.
@@1Deejay40 same XD
ikr! what a juggernaut.
How the heck can there be dislikes for this Video, I've watched this many times and each time I've never got bored of it!
Because many garage drummers have thrown their kits in the dumpster immediately after watching this
He kills every style of music he plays. Thank you for the upload this guy is a blast to watch!
Here Here
Been watching this guy since he was 12. My favorite drummer.
Tony.this is the best performance I've ever seen on drums ever possible..you're amazing...!
I say best ever. A lot of the older generation argues with me on that. They all want to say Neil Pert, or Buddy Rich, don't get me wrong, it's a tough comparison, but Tony Royster Jr plays all types of music so well. Hard to say he's not the best ever in my opinion.
Have you listened to Sput Searight, JoJo Mayer, Chris Coleman, Adam Deitch, Gerald Heyward, Aaron Spears, Johnny Rabb, Marco Minneman?
rired2005 add benny greb to that list bruh. Obviously he hasn't heard other real drummers
There are so many amazing drummers, and you can't say that one is the best of the best. rired2005 has mentioned a lot of incredible musicians and there are many more greats like Billy Cobham, Virgil Donati, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Gavin Harrison, Steve Gadd, Terry Bozio and many many more of them who are amazing, and all of them developed their own unique style, so the only thing you can do is to listen all of them as much as you can, enjoy and try to learn something new
At 61 I def qualify as the "older generation." You won't get any argument from me, at least regarding these top drawer young cats doing their thing vs the older crew. Drumming and music has progressed enormously, and NONE of the older players would hold a candle to the current generation of drummers. I saw Buddy Rich in his prime, knew what I was listening to, and also listen to the current crop of slingers. Buddy, Elvin Jones, Krupa, Morello, etc. were cool, FOR THER TIME. Current Prog, Djent, etc., guys are just at a whole other level in technique and creativity. The use of odd meters, polyrhythms, and modern double bass kick work is just OUT THERE today. I would add Benny Greb, Matt Garstka, and Mike Portnoy to the list of awesome current talents. All of these guys make me feel great about the current state and future direction of kickass drumming.
I guess Dave Weckl isn’t human then
Sadly, I have no talent for playing instruments and I know nothing about drumming but this video makes me smile like a child.
Love the melody on the pads. It's proof of how deeply he thinks about the melodies he plays.
A one of a kind drummer , speed , tempo but who really understands melody and the emotion of a tune . Jazz, hip hop or pop, he bis there and solid as the rock of Gibralter.
I've literally watched this video 6-7 times in the course of 2 days... still sounds like gold. This kit would not sound as good without Tony.
DRUMMING IS A DISCIPLINE, THAT TAKES MANY HOURS OF PRACTICE. WITH EACH ACCOMPLISHMENT COMES A NEW CHALLENGE. I KNOW, I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR MANY YEARS. NEVER GET BORED....ALWAYS A NEW CHALLENGE.......ALWAYS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW....THUS WATCHING THESE VIDEOS......SEARCHING,WATCHING,LEARNING......PRACTICING AGAIN AND AGAIN.....
i think tony's one of the greatest just because of his musical awareness combined with his incredible chops. he always knows where he's coming from and where he is in a musical context. i don't really know how to explain it. fuck it.
This video is life-changing!
What I find great about this is Tony shows how drumming can be about more than just keeping time. If you set a kit up, whether electronic or traditional, to suit your ear, you can really make it sing. Changing the order/arrangement of your toms so they're not simply high to low in tone, or setting cymbals in a manner where chords come into play as you cascade from left to right, can really expand your kit's range. I just think that's cool, is all.
This man is incredible, his chops are completely insane, his taste, speed, etc i saw him NAAM 2012 absolutely amazing
The black dude grooving on the right was constant reassurance of how good Tony is.
Incredible playing... Tony takes those Roland V-Drums to new sonic heights!
The fact that everybody in the room is picking up their jaws from the floor or beaming with excitement is a real testament to how much of a beast this guy really is.
I saw Tony in Toronto two weeks ago he is awsome, great interaction with the crowd and great performer.
Tony might just be the most well rounded drummer i have ever seen! He has everything..chops, speed, technique and an unbelievable sense of groove and timing. i honestly don't think there is anything he couldn't play:) You can definitely tell this is what he was born to do! Im actually glad he's playing rap..his near perfect sense of groove is perfect for it and obviously he really doesn't have anything to prove as you can see in this video. He is obviously very VERY good! Keep join' Tony! You're truly an inspiration!
I love Tony and I love Roland but both together... just freakin awesome
Tony owns it all, modulations, subdivisions, technique and musicality, its like he is a transparent window and the Goddess can speak whatever she likes in whatever language without limitation !
I'm convinced tony thinks in only bars and measurements. The way he completes phrases is godly no matter how complex the rhythm he imposed on himself is.
I would be amazed as it is if I heard most of the beats Royster Jr. plays here from a drum program or machine. This guy is on his own level as far as drumming, no question about it.
this shit is just simply amazing. This guy is on another level
Who is Jay Z? Is he part of Tony Royster Jr's band?
Jay z the rapper illuminati
To the 114 people that disliked this video, either you don't know music, or just stupid.. Or both.. 😂 This is great.!!
Or jealous
still find his solos the best coz they're different. very creative. great to listen to n leaving u wanting more
Absolutely amazing. Great Sound! Tony strait rips it!
Damn, Tony Royster is absolutely a monster on the drums.. I really like his style of playing; he has just so much control, coordination and speed!
He also uses the TD-30KV in a great way! I'm using the TD-30KV myself and I actually made a video on my channel about the Effects in the TD-30KV, so if you want you can check my channel. However, Tony is just amazing and I will keep watching his videos over and over again..
I played the TD-30KV at BIG DUDES MUSIC STORE here in Kansas City, Missouri it was wonderful to here all of the effects. I really love the bounce on the electric heads I love it.
anyone who dislikes this simply lacks the ability to compute this level of awesomeness
Everyone who watches this should share it on FB/twitter or wherever. =)
c'est fait mec!
done! 👍
Tony Royster is a monster on the drum set. Probably the best in the world.
The most impressive part of this was around 9:39 - 9:50. Tony has insane control of time and where the groove is! Just look at people's reactions (the guy to his left, and the dude in the red shirt), their faces say it all!
Best ever man! I love the guys comment “Jay-Z is the guy who gets to play with Tony Royster Jr.!” 👍
I am seeing Thomas Lang in the background :)
Tony Royster's performance was awesome as always.
12:36 the moment he plays my favorite track on the kit, i can never play it the same way now.
what is the name of the track
To the guy that called him a rap/hip hop drummer SHUT THE ...u ignorant.... he was on tour playing beside Dennis chambers when he was 7, doing tony William solos that u probably still haven't learned. Educate ur self. He plays rap hip hop cause after he learned EVERYTHING ELSE he decided he wanted to do something fun but being that he's the best drummer in his age bracket he choose the show that would still pay his worth or at least close too it, thus JayZ is currently presenting him on stage.
This guy is absolutely incredible
To be fair I think as Jay Z as the guy who plays with Tony Royster Jr. not the other way around.
tottally agree
:/:/.....
Jay Z’s lucky!
God is blessing you
I have a feeling it would be like trying to read an instruction booklet from a different language... his technical skill is so incredible! I would give just about anything to be able to play 1/4 as well as he plays.
9:17-10:53 when you hear it to the metronome it makes you realize how good he really is..
They did that for people who don't know him. It is what it is. Not everyone knows EVERYONE in every single genre of music no matter how great they are.
Wow this dude is the truth there's no doubting how good his skills are. When I go on tour, he's gotta be my drummer or someone as skilled.
So great !! He has indeed a inner metronome, which plays in 13/16 ! Incredible player.
Every time - as soon as I start watching this video, I can't stop watching
For over a decade I dreamed of owning this kit just to play the song at 0:01 and I can now!! I love it so much
This is probubly the Greatest performance to musical ability for drummers...Im Mind Blown.....
One of the best non-jazz drummers alive today. I'm sure he's a good Jazz player too, seeing from this.
What does that even mean, non-jazz drummer? Drums are drums.
yes that is very true, his talent far exceeds music like jay z. but the recognition for getting to play for one of the most relevant and popular people in the music industry today is a big feat considering how little you see a truly talented musician in the mainstream.
even Thomas lang is like holy ****
Royster is a beast and seeing as this is a solo performance, he can get 'carried away'. Watch some of his performances with bands and artists and you'll see he knows exactly what he's doing
Drums on fire! No really Im going to set my fuckin drums on fire after watching this.
Insane good. One of the most versatile drummers ever!!
Best drummer alive..love the blast beat shit around the toms...
Can't figure out how this drumset works, but still... amazing sounds and OUTSTANDING playing by Tony.
Give it up to The Royster! I watch this everyday. Dammmitt
TONY ROYSTER JR...U ARE SIMPLY from ANOTHER WORLD!!!!!!!!!! REAL TALK MY DUDE!!Mannyb!
I use the different drum kits and effects on my TD- 20 on stage pretty frequently. You have to really immerse yourself in the v-drum way and take the time to incorporate it into your music to make it worth it.
dude, this guy came out of the womb with a drum set...
It's so fun to see people just start smiling when he does that sick one hand "fill" at 10:10.
god damn...tony royster....always amazes me
The best thing with this video is to see how happy the guy to Tony's left gets by him playing :D
your not human if you dislike this Tony Roster Jr is one of the best at what he does and unlike some drummers he likes playing with Jay-Z
This is the best thing I've seen. Ever.
These kinds of videos just motivates me to train harder!
I love the kit too. It sounds so good.
That was truly some epic drumming!! Right on Bro!
The only person I know of who can make counting to four sound awesome.
Tony Royster my favorite drummer.
this guy is a fucking drum god..
There is only one God
it's amazing what these kits can do when the drum sticks are in the proper hands.
My number one drummer
That tom that sounds like a laser, I really felt that
9:20 is where it really takes off. Insane.
OMGOSH!!!!! this is why he ma fav drummer...hands down
The last part is sick!!! Its like in the main menu of a sci fi game!
Damn at 4:25 he kills it.
Incredible technique, just incredible.
Man tony is nice on the roland set i love all the sounds i have to get one like this!!!!!!!
today i've played electronic drums for the first time and first i was skeptical about them. But in 10 minutes i was absolutely into em. Its an absolutely different thing. Try it
keep shining Tony .. cheers!
He is the first person to make the Zildjian Gen 16 series sound good.. Excellent performance
I'm just blown away by this..
Amazing.. I love his feel and the kit is mega impressive.. I want one
O melhor batera do mundo!
Amen! lol, but tbh these are the kind of videos that humble you when you start getting ahead of yourself, but also give you a sense of motivation to push further once youve been humbled
watched all 18 minutes of it...jaw dropping...tongue wagging stuff
this is the best video in the history of youtube
best 17mins of my day
You don't generally think of rap/hip-hop drummers to be any good. But he's fantastic.
I must totally disagree.. rap/hiphop bands are usually badass. think of Rihannas, Aguileras, Jacksons etc The only thing is they re hidden behind singers acting and lip synch
Guido Bottazzo I don't generally see Rap/Hip-hop musicians playing, as you said they're hidden behind the lead. But I am sure most of them are not any less talented then any one else.
yea tony doesnt have to play with Jay-z..
but he probably gets payed a ton lol thats why he probably plays w jayz
Tony has been holding it down LONG BEFORE he hooked up with Jay-z
Yeah, I have to disagree as well man. Some of the best musicians I've known prefer this type of work. It is too bad you don't get the explosiveness out of it.
Tony you are amazing!
FUTURISTIC COSOMIC GENUIS WITH LIGHTING IN HIS HANDS PLAYING OUTER WORLDLY FUNK. Tony is Skilled by a millions miles ahead of his closet competitor
Incredible speed, amazing accuracy
just saw this guy live and he is awsome
This dude is crazy!
Nice...Stylishly Clean,Continued success T.Royster Jr.
