You can't make everyone happy. If his groove was perfect someone would say he's boring if he chops a lot someone will say he has no groove smh blah blah he could do whatever he wants on the kit whenever he wants I respect that. Play what you want Tony make yourself happy for the talent God and God alone gave you
Drumming is an amazing talent to have, as is anyone who can play an instrument..I'm an average drummer, but i love playing and learning and progressing. Watching guys like Tony just spark that energy to want to play and get better. Just love the craft that these people have, don't hate don't judge, just enjoy. If you are true lover of drumming and drummers, then that's exactly what these video's will do for you.
Yeh Drumming is very much fun, but I mostly just help my mum & niece to get good at Drums, but open mic has so many people who get Angry & want to become good at everything as well. The only way they will get good at anything U do weather it's drumming playing video games or drawing on paint in windows XP & windows 7 or making music in MTV from ripped cds. Is to love what U do even fixing computer's. So if U keep doing what U love & have passion for. Nothing can stop U from Real Gifts & Talent's...
very happy to see all his drumming video when he was a kid, till now 2015, good to see this man not giving up playing drums, but keep on enjoying and improving
He has everything, speed, power, groove, chops, creativity, the funk, etc.... this guy is unreal. How anyone can say he's falling off is insane. Please prove that you're better!
Even if somebody has some criticism, and you can criticize something about anybody, there are only a handful of people on the entire planet who I would consider better. There are very few people who are faster. He’s got some great shops and fills, though I think there are others, even some who are not even really in his technical league, who have a lot more musicality.
TRJ is one of the best drummers on the planet. hands down. he was great at 12. people finding things to complain about couldn't hope to be at this level at his age, because they're too busy finding excuses.
For all the haters, I'm an average drummer and always Thank God for giving me a talent I loved since I was a child hood but just thought I never had it in me ,where i learned on my own maybe learned a few individual beats from 1 or 2 people the rest has been practice,and finding my own style and still being able to fit it in to different music styles, no classes, no special school, none of that just grew up watching people and getting a bit better, never took it serious to be a professional just play for church and do it for the Glory of God, so if u find technical errors, critique this man when hes been doing this for years you really gotta be a hater!!! The best part about being a drummer is the mistakes and errors and to be able to find it in you and find the right timing to get right bak on it Tony is a Master and still really young hes prooven himself and many will hate just because this kid is humble and let's his sticks do the talking either way all I can say is he has inspired many but a few will always find something to talk about against him nothing new🤔🤔🤔/😉😉😉
i love how people argue on here saying who's better or what not you should be busy practicing and using youtube to improve your drumming or you should be watching you tube after your daily practice routine or like me after i have prepared charts for my students and done my practice routine
I like Tony. What you are hearing is his drum soul. He is not gonna sound like anyone else in the world. Jojo , Chris Coleman, Nick D Virgilio, ETC .. What you here is what u get ! that is the Beauty of our craft. No one sounds the same !
When you've proven yourself as a pocket master, you can splurge on chops. Tony is MORE than able to stay in the pocket, so why not let him have some fun? Seems like the audience is enjoying it!
A good drummer can stay in pocket, a fit drummer can chop. A great drummer can express. Sorry, Tony's a boss at chops and is as tight as a metronome but he may as well be a computer. It sounds like a drum kit on a key board and someone's just holding down some of the buttons. It's all singles and fast ones
+Stephen Vumbaco there were here and there but they were only thrown in to give the illusion of continues doubles. Yeah I've got nothing against tony. Top guy and top of his league but it's people who then claim him to be god like at drums. He's not even close to the best at playing a lot but he's real damn good for big R and B concerts
+Gregor Wlliamson it is a solo man this is him expressing himself on his kit. Maybe he's not one of the greats in your eyes but there is denying his skill. The dynamics are there just nothing crazy like Benny ect. Ect. There's always stuff that's harder to get for some drummers. Maybe it's dynamics for him. He's good at what he's good at and I've heard a couple great drummers say " get it where you fit in" and he does.
he seems to be doing more experimenting and PLAYING :) here than a lot of his other solos, which often seem like a series of licks and exercises he's put together to impress drummers
Everyone's entitled to an opinion right? I gotta echoe nycjin816's words somewhat. Its very easy to sit back and analyze, search for cracks in the foundation, split hairs, search for any and every flaw of an individual that is beast mode in any field if you yourself aren't at that level. It seems to come natural to those looking in to critique someone at the level of say, a Tony Royster who by the way, is on another level like it or not. This is a world class drummer, & at this point I suppose he has nothing to prove; he is in his early 30's & still evolving. You can pick a flaw out of any top player but it doesn't change the game. When you mention Dave Weckl's name, you get arguments from both sides of the sphere ( killer drummer vs no feel, stiff time ) but there is no doubt he has achieved legendary status & he has already gone down in history as 1 of the greatest drummers of all time. He also said something that may provoke thought: MD 1998- "Some use the whole 'I don't need technique' thing as an excuse not to work at their craft". So I'll add to that if I may : If you can't play a complex part then you rip the next dude that can. Don't just play but practice & study your art form. Music to me is not chops for the sake of 'look at me' moments. Its about one's feel, mood, interpretation, creativity, soul, fire and dare I say 'pocket' as Mintah stated.
Hi, Some news from Tony Royster ;) Enjoy !! Interview : ruclips.net/video/VxYw79EGnsg/видео.html Part 1 - Drum solo : ruclips.net/video/uA7ILC53ros/видео.html Part 2 - Drum solo : ruclips.net/video/xI_5uO3_BHk/видео.html Part 3 - Drum session (Modul 35) : ruclips.net/video/PaAwDAhn27U/видео.html Part 4 - Drum session (Gonna Do Me) : ruclips.net/video/wiUwe1k9HLo/видео.html Part 5 - Drum session : ruclips.net/video/QmYtbIFfAfM/видео.html
Anyone that wants to hate on Tony needs to re-watch this and decide if they can actually do half the crap he does. Any drummer can learn to groove, but having the discipline to carry out technical difficulties with different odd time signatures and rythms like Tony as well as having the chops he has is a different ball game.
To chop you must exercise. To play you must practise. Anyone can do what tony is doing given a certain level of strength and basic time keeping. It's not remarkable what he's doing other than he works out a lot for it
+Gregor Wlliamson I agree however I would say exercizing is a part of practicing and overall, is more difficult than other areas of practice, i.e. grooving.
Any who complains or says "he isnt playing music" , please PLEASE PLEASE upload a video and play better. Haters. He is literally WORKING AS A FULLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME DRUMMER. while u guys are on youtube looking at cheat codes for CALL OF DUTY, he is literally practicing on drums. And for those who think this isnt music, please check his credentials and see how may artists this dude has played for......popular and not popular artists. Im done. Love u guys in Jesus name
its called practice? learn your rudiments and then put them into groups and sections. simple! just takes a lot of time to learn. some learn faster then others. either you have the gift of playing or you don't. but mainly you need to practice.
I could help u with some grooves but I live in 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺 so my guess is your from the 🇺🇲USA🇺🇲 somewhere we all wish & Dream of to be one day in our untold life, but sometimes can lead to bad thing's in life also can turn on U, ✌️Peace☮️ Bro🏳️...
looked like he was having some technical difficulties that threw him off a bit but there's no one on here who could do what he did. he's still one of the best out there.
You honestly believe no one can do what he does? Seriously? None of this is impossible. Hell most of it is pretty fucking underwhelming, especially for him. I like Tony. This solo was fucking boring.
+Rob Pierce Youre making these claims on a drumming video. A video that will be watched by many drummers. To assume no one commenting could do something similar is ignorant as fuck. Ive been drumming for 30+ years. There is not a single segment of this solo that was up to Tony's typical level. Im also not insecure enough to be baited into recording a video to seek your approval. This solo just straight up wasnt what I would expect from him. Period.
+Eric Jennings I was being optimistic on Tony's behalf. LIKE I SAID it was because of all the negative comments! I didn't expect someone to troll me over it and blow what I typed out of proportion. I'm sure you have much better things to do than argue over a stupid video....? no?
+Stephen Vumbaco half , I'm just saying that everything happens for a reason. and i know some of the drummer who also says that he is lack of soul / spirit. For me, I'd rather watch steve gadd
+fran991213 that's music though. You don't have to like the guy but the FACT is that he has a crazy amount of talent. His odd timing and pocket is amazing when he doesn't play he's still on time... Right around 8 min he shows that. Personal preference is what makes us human not everyone is going to like him and that's okay but he's still crazy good and will most likely go down in history as a drum legend. Whether you agree with that or not is up to your musical bias.
+doctork 21 You can't make everyone happy. If his groove was perfect someone would say he's boring if he chops a lot someone will say he has no groove smh blah blah he could do whatever he wants on the kit whenever he wants and I respect that
@@TheOneYoungKing you may not believe me I can play Drums but if I wanted to I could teacher people drums but then it would be illegal & against the law, because teaching by ear would break the secret control of society & the new world order bro.
@@TheOneYoungKing just look at what happened to Brandon Lee when he got shoot by a man with a gun which Jerry Harrison now sing's young man old man with a gun two people in love from the 80's sad but ☹️true☹️ Bruce Lee gone at 32☹️ year☹️ old😢...
insanely talented guy but seems like he lost the rythm a few times due to a bit of showing off. sounds experimental and has a nice groove sometimes, any recommendations? any cool pieces/videos of him ?
it's kind of sad and pathetic that people have to find something to complain about and put him down for. like there must be a flaw to pick apart. I never post 'you're jealous, where's your skill' type posts but I think it applies in this case. the 'no groove, all chops' bullshit posts are just from sad, jealous and maybe slightly bitter people realizing they'll never come close to a quarter of his ability. why the fuck MUST there be groove in this or any solo??
the are 2 types of drummers who go on RUclips....the guys that wanna be educated and inspired by great players and the other guys that wanna prove that their musical opinion is more knowledgeable than someone elses....pretty sad that I'm seeing more critics than artists and musicians around these necks....

This video was obviously not about trying to sound good. He was also displaying the level of difficulty that he could play off timing. for the negative comments. this means musically mentally you are not at the level to comprehend the video and understand its purpose. if you want a nice groove with tasteful chops over the top of it that sounds good. he was doing that when he was 5 years old. I'm sure he gets paid to pay play basic grooves all the time by jay z. and for those of you who said he lost the beat. NOT! he was going off the cuff adlibbing. you cannot do that many off beat chops and not be a master at keeping timing. he practices time signatures that you didn't even know existed like 7/11 or 5/9. Tony wouldn't lose the beat if he got hit by a Mack truck. it's a reason he's doing shows all over the world and you are sitting here commenting on it. bye
lol at everyone who is like "if you criticize him then I CHALLENGE YOU to do better". I personally love Tony and have followed him since I started drumming over 10 years ago but to be quite honest it looked like he wasn't on his A game. And as far as I know its to be expected form time to time. Hes a busy guy and a lot of times has to learn the material for his gigs that he does huge tours with. If you are stuck playing the same things over and over then ya you might get a little sloppy. Thats just how it is. Hes still awesome and I don't doubt in the least that if he tried he could come back even better than before. I mean in this video he just looked a little out of it. Maybe he was tired who knows. Hes a drummer not a god.
please elaborate on what he played was sloppy? sounded clean as hell. maybe a few double bass drum rolls weren't perfect, but it's nothing to criticize. the fact that you criticize his playing and finding tiny faults instead of praising this amazing display of talent says a lot about you .
+Andrew Smith okay let me come off a different way. the basic point which you don't seem to understand is that it's okay to identify someone better than you as not playing as well in a specific session or up their potential. It actually shows maturity and the level of the player if they can actually understand what they are hearing and that includes mistakes. Such as inconsistencies in groves, or random fills to cover mess ups etc. And again I'm not saying I'm better or even as good but also to those actually criticizing the guy, he is only human and clearly looked a bit more tired and it's to be expected for someone of his level and someone who tours and records consistently. a lot of people at that level even admit to not practicing for skill anymore because they have to learn so much other material for gigs. so before you criticize others please analyze a situation to it's fullest and understand the perspective of what others speak.
Tony Royster really is a great drummer. Myself personally. I prefer to hear him stay in the pocket when he plays, because his chops are chaotic. They don't have much fluidity and they sound rushed. Listen to great modern day drummers/clinicians like Chris Coleman, Benny Grebb and you hear the difference in their chops. Chris Coleman is fast, but fluid. Tony is a seasoned drummer. Pro since he was like 13 years old I think and has only gotten better, but he does have his weaknesses. When it comes to chops he sounds like Thomas Pridgeon. Just kind of everywhere like he's struggling through them. Hey but who am I to speak on these guys quality as drummers when I couldn't even light a candle to them as musicians. I am just a working class business owner that loves to sit down behind the drums and loose myself when I get home.
The Ultimate Drum Master. You can put him in any musical situation. GOAT Status
You can't make everyone happy. If his groove was perfect someone would say he's boring if he chops a lot someone will say he has no groove smh blah blah he could do whatever he wants on the kit whenever he wants I respect that. Play what you want Tony make yourself happy for the talent God and God alone gave you
Jason Green Word!
exactly
Factzzz!! This kid has been a beast
I just love the way he was phrasing 16th note tripelets in 3/4 but still ROCKIN' that backbeat in 2/4! Sick.
This is the guy that makes the great players go "OH HE'S SICK"
Tony's quite possibly the greatest drummer of all time. a true master.

How can a human being thumbs down this video...
tonny is my favorite model on drums God use him to inspire me
REMPHAN 04 and SO EASY
Awesome performance along with eletronic stuff! Very well blended. Groove, chops and technique in one solo.
He has everything, speed, power, groove, chops, creativity, the funk, etc.... this guy is unreal. How anyone can say he's falling off is insane. Please prove that you're better!
Even if somebody has some criticism, and you can criticize something about anybody, there are only a handful of people on the entire planet who I would consider better. There are very few people who are faster. He’s got some great shops and fills, though I think there are others, even some who are not even really in his technical league, who have a lot more musicality.
Really enjoy watching a true percussive master at work.

Love your drumming bro! Awesome watching and listening to a master of rhythm!
The cross-kit, one hand moves and his ability to move around the kit in general...#mindblown
I like Tony. What you are hearing is his drum soul. He is not gonna sound like anyone else in the world. Jojo , Chris Coleman, Nick D Virgilio, ETC .. What you here is what u get ! that is the Beauty of our craft. No one sounds the same !
Tony is the man. I've been watching this dude for years now, and he has proven himself to arguably be the Chuck Norris of drumming.
More like the Tony Jaa of Drumming techniques?.
Tony and Chris Coleman are like my two favs. great guys, who absolutely Slay!
So inspirational! Thank you
Incredible musician and person.
When you've proven yourself as a pocket master, you can splurge on chops.

A good drummer can stay in pocket, a fit drummer can chop. A great drummer can express. Sorry, Tony's a boss at chops and is as tight as a metronome but he may as well be a computer. It sounds like a drum kit on a key board and someone's just holding down some of the buttons. It's all singles and fast ones

Top guy and top of his league but it's people who then claim him to be god like at drums. He's not even close to the best at playing a lot but he's real damn good for big R and B concerts

*theres no denying**
Fantastic drumming skills!
I got to meet him when he came here, really nice guy!
He is, the Avatar, of Drums
No other drummer has his ability to cover all the common skills
Power
Technicality
Pocket
Coordination
Recovery

@@Philtoid I disagree!
1 of the greatest
there was a car alarm going off with the clapping,sound was sooo sick!!!
Still killer chops and showing many sides of his technicality as a drummer!
What a joy to watch
é o melhor solo q ja vi na minha vida
From 7:29 to the end will always keeps him relevant :-) Crazy, real-time expansions on a theme.
he seems to be doing more experimenting and PLAYING :) here than a lot of his other solos, which often seem like a series of licks and exercises he's put together to impress drummers
at 9min he is playing the bara of Dununba (traditional rhythm from guinea west africa)...Beauitful
such a powerful yet subtle stroke man soo good
Eita pegaaaa toop lembre-se bateras unidos jamais serão vencidos 👍🎶
Best drummer ever or will be
Another level.

Among many celeb/famous drummers, tony was also born a genius drummer/musician, maybe not a pioneer??? nonetheless he's boss!
Special thanks to U
He is lightning fast, that’s for sure.
insanely talented guy but seems like he lost the rythm a few times due to a bit of showing off.
sounds experimental and has a nice groove sometimes, any recommendations? any cool pieces/videos of him ?
The way he can go so fast and not hit a rim. Incredible
it's kind of sad and pathetic that people have to find something to complain about and put him down for. like there must be a flaw to pick apart. I never post 'you're jealous, where's your skill' type posts but I think it applies in this case. the 'no groove, all chops' bullshit posts are just from sad, jealous and maybe slightly bitter people realizing they'll never come close to a quarter of his ability. why the fuck MUST there be groove in this or any solo??
Dude was doing better chops at 12 then a ton of drummers twice his age couldn't do. They are exactly what you said. Peanut butter and Jealouuuuus!!!!!
It really is sad
the are 2 types of drummers who go on RUclips....the guys that wanna be educated and inspired by great players and the other guys that wanna prove that their musical opinion is more knowledgeable than someone elses....pretty sad that I'm seeing more critics than artists and musicians around these necks....

Never breaks a stick.
Nice
crazy
dope
THE MASTER!!!! : )
This video was obviously not about trying to sound good. He was also displaying the level of difficulty that he could play off timing. for the negative comments. this means musically mentally you are not at the level to comprehend the video and understand its purpose. if you want a nice groove with tasteful chops over the top of it that sounds good. he was doing that when he was 5 years old. I'm sure he gets paid to pay play basic grooves all the time by jay z. and for those of you who said he lost the beat. NOT! he was going off the cuff adlibbing. you cannot do that many off beat chops and not be a master at keeping timing. he practices time signatures that you didn't even know existed like 7/11 or 5/9. Tony wouldn't lose the beat if he got hit by a Mack truck. it's a reason he's doing shows all over the world and you are sitting here commenting on it. bye
I will one day perform with you on stage boss trust me sir
Woooow .....cool ....i know him only as 12 years old boy. Now he is a men. :)
Man
lol at everyone who is like "if you criticize him then I CHALLENGE YOU to do better". I personally love Tony and have followed him since I started drumming over 10 years ago but to be quite honest it looked like he wasn't on his A game. And as far as I know its to be expected form time to time. Hes a busy guy and a lot of times has to learn the material for his gigs that he does huge tours with. If you are stuck playing the same things over and over then ya you might get a little sloppy. Thats just how it is. Hes still awesome and I don't doubt in the least that if he tried he could come back even better than before. I mean in this video he just looked a little out of it. Maybe he was tired who knows. Hes a drummer not a god.
please elaborate on what he played was sloppy? sounded clean as hell. maybe a few double bass drum rolls weren't perfect, but it's nothing to criticize. the fact that you criticize his playing and finding tiny faults instead of praising this amazing display of talent says a lot about you .
+Andrew Smith oh yeah what does it say?
+Andrew Smith okay let me come off a different way. the basic point which you don't seem to understand is that it's okay to identify someone better than you as not playing as well in a specific session or up their potential. It actually shows maturity and the level of the player if they can actually understand what they are hearing and that includes mistakes. Such as inconsistencies in groves, or random fills to cover mess ups etc. And again I'm not saying I'm better or even as good but also to those actually criticizing the guy, he is only human and clearly looked a bit more tired and it's to be expected for someone of his level and someone who tours and records consistently. a lot of people at that level even admit to not practicing for skill anymore because they have to learn so much other material for gigs. so before you criticize others please analyze a situation to it's fullest and understand the perspective of what others speak.
nice !
amazing
Tony Royster really is a great drummer. Myself personally. I prefer to hear him stay in the pocket when he plays, because his chops are chaotic. They don't have much fluidity and they sound rushed. Listen to great modern day drummers/clinicians like Chris Coleman, Benny Grebb and you hear the difference in their chops. Chris Coleman is fast, but fluid. Tony is a seasoned drummer. Pro since he was like 13 years old I think and has only gotten better, but he does have his weaknesses. When it comes to chops he sounds like Thomas Pridgeon. Just kind of everywhere like he's struggling through them. Hey but who am I to speak on these guys quality as drummers when I couldn't even light a candle to them as musicians. I am just a working class business owner that loves to sit down behind the drums and loose myself when I get home.
9:02 min holy shit i´m out
+Mecki Productions Indeed... 8-0
+Mecki Productions He taught this grove on Drum Channel, but he didn't teach us how to do it like that. LOL
Friends Just Don't Treat Friends That Way, dammit
I wish i could see my cuz.
