One of my personal favs he has so many solos recorded worked with Elvis 69 to 77 , sadly he just made his journey very early this morning now in Rock heaven back with E!
The most underrated drummer....a technically sound savage. This is tame compared to his other solos. Formally trained in all different genres, he could deliver on command which is why Elvis 'clicked' with him right out the gate. He was able to keep up with the unpredictable nature that was Elvis, every concert being different. I have heard drummers, but Ronnie was something else...if you could play for Elvis, you could play for ANYONE. And he did...well over a thousand concerts, studio sessions, etc. just with Elvis. Countless gigs over the years with other big time entertainers. Look into him, and you'll see why Elvis chose him. PEACE!
Probably the most underrated and unheard of drummer of all time unless your a drummer of a certain age. His subtlety and then explosive power and speed are legendary. A perfect fit for elvis in the 70s and one of my favourite ever drummers. Have seen him live a few times with the virtual elvis show. Awsome just awsome
He's not underrated or unheard of. I'm a metal drummer, death metal and doom metal, and in the metal community Ronnie is revered as a great and influential drummer. Definitely an influence for me.
And then i hear Elvis say..."back in your cage animal" , When Ron goes out to town he goes all the way enjoying every beat of it, what a guy, what a guy :-)
A TOP CRAZY RHYTHM MACHINE !!!!!!!!!!!!! The one who remind me Ronnie in metal was NICKO MCBRAIN... both creatives and impressives... with really big drums sets....
Let’s put it this way. When Elvis made the decision to tour again, and put together his ‘TCB’ band, he made sure to grab the best drummer out there….. “ladies and gentlemen from Dallas, Texas hard working Ronnie Tutt”…… R.I.P Ronnie 🙏 May you reunite with The King, Joe Guercio, Charlie Hodge, J.D Sumner, Myrna Smith… etc…
Ron is a monster for sure..Groove, taste and speed + power. Beside countless recordings & live shows, he's also on a Sheffield Lab record where there is one solo impro from him and another one from J.Keltner..It was a direct to disk recording around '86-'87 I guess.. Worth listen !
The ride looks bigger than it is because of the CBS cameras , like anuthing further away looks bigger.. i believe it was a 22" though. you can see these drums on Facebook and here on TH-cam.. drummer Michael Moore aquiered the full drum kit and restored it and plays it in his Elvis tribute shows. also has the cases. These are Ludwig white acrylic vistalites with Chrome wrap
I'm no drummer, but Ronnie Tutt played with the Carpenters, TheJerry Garcia Band, Neil Diamond and is also on drums for Roy Orbison's " Black & White Night " Concert ....
Rawschri, Check this one out by Tutt. Mind Boggling.. th-cam.com/video/aMo07Oqb10U/w-d-xo.html Garey, This is the one you want to react too.. Incredible.. Ronnie Tutt at his very best!
Nice :) First Elvis-record i bought was "As recorded in madison Square Garden", recorded in 1972. Besides Elvis i really noticed Ronnie Tutt, been a fan ever since :)
My first album I bought by Elvis.. Elvis at MSG.. Ronnie Tutt was in the zone and a monster in that concert.. Elvis broke the N.Y attendance record back in 1972.. I thought Elvis had two drummers playing in that concert.. lol..
While playing for Elvis, wonder how many other bands offered him a job and trust, while with Elvis, he was paid dearly. If only Elvis would really rocked up more of his songs.....
This is very tame compared to most Ronnie Tutt solos.. Some of his solos are mind boggling by comparison.. This one is toned down, but still enjoyable..
Hello from England I was 12 when ELVIS died. I have been a FAN ever since. Ronnie Tutt was "the 8th wonder of the world" when it comes to drumming. Not many left now of the TCB band. Jerry, Glen and James are the "last men standing" When you look at videos posted out since we learnt that Ronnie had died it just makes you think of the time that has passed since they started to do the live shows - 50 + years OH MY.
This drum solo of Ronnie Tutt is tamed down a little You need to see or listen to "Fantastic drum solo 1976 Ronnie Tutt. It s on youtube.. That will blow you away. His speed is awesome. You can keep your Keith Moons and John Bonnhams. Ronnie was amazing.
Ronnie may not have been as well known as others, but he was VERY versatile and was VERY important to Elvis, who was, at the time, already a legend and in his own league. Ronnie was the backbone of his show! Check out the videos from Elvis On Tour and Ronnie kicks ass on Proud Mary and Never Been To Spain! Also, Elvis' album from Madison Square Garden from 1972 showcases Ronnie well, in my opinion. Too bad there's no video of that!
Love these reactions vids... here’s a suggestions for whom I’d love to see your reactions: Steve Moore (Mad Drummer, never seen anyone more entertaining) Cubby O’Brien (excellent drummer for the Carpenters, reminds me of Tutt since he was a drummer for a classic band)
Evidence that Ronnie Tutt was a great drummer is found in many comments here..."underrated". Tutt was a great drummer who played to the music of his hire, instead of playing for himself. Never overplayed so he could have some of the spotlight. I appreciate that he was great enough to be gracious. I'll miss Ronnie Tutt.
My other favourite drummer of all time. Only problem is the shadows are not that well known across the pond although Brian is on the drummer world site. Great minds think alike my friend. Little b artys party honourable puff puff plenty to go at all without compare in my opinion. Cheers
That was a good one by Ronnie but that is not his best one Google drum solos by Ronnie Tutt he can really get down he is definitely in the top five drummers of all time especially the original Madison Square Garden album with Elvis the way he does Proud Mary You Lost That Loving Feeling and many of those songs is awesome
To make good money and escape American racism many jazz artists went to play in France in the 50s and beyond. Some of the great players at the time stayed with the parents of the best drummer I have ever seen. Christian Vander of Magma. Elvin Jones would stop by and play the drums with Christian when he was a kid. Please please please give Mr. Vander his due and throw one of his bits out there. If I missed it in the list then my bad. If he’s not in the video list that’s every drummers misfortune.
Ronnie did what a LOT of drummers back then DIDN'T do. He kept the grooves and chops tasty and used dynamics. None of that "blicken blickem blickem" filler nonsense done by iron Butterfly or Peter Criss of kiss.
You really don't seem that impressed with his skill set? A little disappointed in your lack of enthusiasm and commentary for the greatest drummer to ever hold a pair of sticks.
This was a good solo but it's not his best one you can Google Ronnie tutt drum solos from 75 and 76 and he is tearing them up harder than kiss John Bonham or any of them unfortunately it's just sound only but Elvis tells him to play and he takes off
Ronnie Tutt was the Greatest Drummest Ever . Thank you for showing this we all miss Ronnie Tutt and Love him.
Ronnie Tutt, the most under-rated drummer in the past fifty years... Rest in Peace, Mr. Tutt, and thank you!

@@DrumsetArtistry loo
Ronnie Tutt is amazing. Certainly deserves more recognition in my opinion
I agree. Thanks!

@@metalmacabre9991 that’s great to hear 👍
Rip Ronnie ! My drum hero from childhood 💔🥁
Always a pleasure and a honor to listen to musicians who have been formally trained! Great work Ronnie! R.I.P.
Wow....Ron Tutt blew me away......everything he does sounds 'displaced' and unusual....I totally loved it
That was an awesome solo. To think he played with my childhood idol, Elvis, makes it even better.
And then i hear Elvis say..."back in your cage animal" , When Ron goes out to town he goes all the way enjoying every beat of it, what a guy, what a guy :-)
Thanks for sharing that.
Ronnie Tutt…. Greatest drummer I ever saw. Definitely my biggest influence.
Great drummer RIP Ronnie tutt
He is the reason why I wanted to play drums. He did so much for Elvis music, both on recordings, but espacially live 👌
Ron sadly passed on in October 2021. He went out as the great Neil Diamond's drummer. He worked only with the best of all time. He was the best too.
Rarely mentioned....he used double bass (double kicks) - FAST. We sill miss you, Ronnie.
Nothing or nobody could top hard working Ronnie Tutt. Absolute legend of the skins.
RIP
Tutt always did a very melodic solo. No long displays. It fit well into Elvis’ act.
A TOP CRAZY RHYTHM MACHINE !!!!!!!!!!!!! The one who remind me Ronnie in metal was NICKO MCBRAIN... both creatives and impressives... with really big drums sets....

Ronnie Tutt is one of the most underrated drummers. This video is one of his slower solos. He plays a lot crazier than this
Ron is a monster for sure..Groove, taste and speed + power. Beside countless recordings & live shows, he's also on a Sheffield Lab record where there is one solo impro from him and another one from J.Keltner..It was a direct to disk recording around '86-'87 I guess.. Worth listen !
Thanks!!
Yes I know it,have it &love it ,with a bunch of star musicians,love Thelma Houston’s voice!
The ride looks bigger than it is because of the CBS cameras , like anuthing further away looks bigger.. i believe it was a 22" though. you can see these drums on Facebook and here on TH-cam.. drummer Michael Moore aquiered the full drum kit and restored it and plays it in his Elvis tribute shows. also has the cases.

After Ronnie finished that solo Elvis said; whew that boy ate his Wheaties this morning.
Great video. Love Ronnie Tutt.
Thanks for watching!
I'm no drummer, but Ronnie Tutt played with the Carpenters, TheJerry Garcia Band, Neil Diamond and is also on drums for Roy Orbison's " Black & White Night " Concert ....

Also recorded with Billy Joel :)
You never seen hard workin' Ronnie Tutt in the top 10 list of all time greatest drummers. And he damn well should be!
Nice :) First Elvis-record i bought was "As recorded in madison Square Garden", recorded in 1972. Besides Elvis i really noticed Ronnie Tutt,
been a fan ever since :)
Very cool!
Sure this one is impressive..First for me too
My first album I bought by Elvis.. Elvis at MSG.. Ronnie Tutt was in the zone and a monster in that concert.. Elvis broke the N.Y attendance record back in 1972.. I thought Elvis had two drummers playing in that concert.. lol..
ME TOO! Awesome live album!
When drummers use to play beefy and thick like sounding without playing too loud [ bashing ] .Great show host .
While playing for Elvis, wonder how many other bands offered him a job and trust, while with Elvis, he was paid dearly. If only Elvis would really rocked up more of his songs.....
This is very tame compared to most Ronnie Tutt solos.. Some of his solos are mind boggling by comparison.. This one is toned down, but still enjoyable..
Thanks. This is a very musical solo :-)
Hello from England
I was 12 when ELVIS died. I have been a FAN ever since.

It s on youtube.. That will blow you away. His speed is awesome.
You can keep your Keith Moons and John Bonnhams. Ronnie was amazing.
When I was very young and very into Sesame Street I used to confuse Ronnie Tutt with Animal! 😚😎
Ronnie may not have been as well known as others, but he was VERY versatile and was VERY important to Elvis, who was, at the time, already a legend and in his own league.

Ronnie was a drummer for two of my favorite people Elvis and Jerry...
😎👍
With a friend we always flipped out with Closing Vamp (and opening vamp)
Thanks so much!!
HUGELY underrated. Ron's a bad dude!!
Ronnie rules!! Rest in peace my brother 😢
Love these reactions vids... here’s a suggestions for whom I’d love to see your reactions:
Steve Moore (Mad Drummer, never seen anyone more entertaining)
Cubby O’Brien (excellent drummer for the Carpenters, reminds me of Tutt since he was a drummer for a classic band)
Great suggestion!
THE Greatest drummer of all time!
RIP, Ronnie Tutt.
SLADE AND GENTLEMAN, RON TUT!
Amazing drummer amazing channel sir
He was my biggest influence
Reminded me a little about Peter Criss in the beginning before the drugs came in.
Peter Criss?? Seriously?? 😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the exact same thing in terms of the solo beginning...but obviously showed some serious chops towards the end
Yes Criss had a great feel =he really swung and his drum fills always worked
RON TUTT❤
RIP ….Hard working Ronnie Tutt 🙏🏻
You need to see the drummer from the group ; The Kentucky Headhunters do a solo it is on you tube. Interested to see what you think of him.
Will do.Thanks!
I always thought Ronnie Tutt would be a good replacement for John Bonham when Bonham died.
The best

Hello Gary, Brian Bennett the next reaction it 's possible. Thanks
My other favourite drummer of all time. Only problem is the shadows are not that well known across the pond although Brian is on the drummer world site. Great minds think alike my friend. Little b artys party honourable puff puff plenty to go at all without compare in my opinion. Cheers
I will check it out
@@DrumsetArtistry that would be cool. Love your videos
Thank you very much for your time Gary.
Brian Bennett of The Shadows? Yes, please!
That was a good one by Ronnie but that is not his best one Google drum solos by Ronnie Tutt he can really get down he is definitely in the top five drummers of all time especially the original Madison Square Garden album with Elvis the way he does Proud Mary You Lost That Loving Feeling and many of those songs is awesome
His drumming for Garcia was mesmerizing!
To make good money and escape American racism many jazz artists went to play in France in the 50s and beyond. Some of the great players at the time stayed with the parents of the best drummer I have ever seen. Christian Vander of Magma. Elvin Jones would stop by and play the drums with Christian when he was a kid.
Please please please give Mr. Vander his due and throw one of his bits out there. If I missed it in the list then my bad. If he’s not in the video list that’s every drummers misfortune.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Christian Vander is sure unique..Saw him play three or four times ..
Elvis' Drummer,in other hands,the drummer of the royalty!
Ronnie did what a LOT of drummers back then DIDN'T do. He kept the grooves and chops tasty and used dynamics. None of that "blicken blickem blickem" filler nonsense done by iron Butterfly or Peter Criss of kiss.
aquilles priest brazilian
sad to be informed that he passed away yesterday. RIP
He also played the drums with the Greatful Dead.
From the King to Jerry Garcia Band
Elvis had the best Ronnie amazing drummer T⚡️C⚡️B
You really don't seem that impressed with his skill set?
A little disappointed in your lack of enthusiasm and commentary for the greatest drummer to ever hold a pair of sticks.
He played excellent with the presley orchestra but as a drum solo , maybe not,
This was a good solo but it's not his best one you can Google Ronnie tutt drum solos from 75 and 76 and he is tearing them up harder than kiss John Bonham or any of them unfortunately it's just sound only but Elvis tells him to play and he takes off
