Ronald Bruner Jr amazing drum solo

one of ma favorite drum solos...

[@paulczech]

The best I've seen. He has it all: Flow, musicality, chops, speed and power.

[@perseusrex614]

he's a 10th dan Master, close to Danney Carreys' level which I consider the GOAT... equal to Vinnie I'd say...

[@Joshstix95]

Ronald Bruner jr Is the highest level ever reached in drumming. I don’t think you can get any better than him. He’s the GOAT

[@speedoflite1xspeedoflite1]

Every rudimentary shot in the book is here. Creative. Simple. Complex. So good; well timed; well developed, talented, detailed. Full range of rolls and the broadest band of beats rarely heard.

[@JackHeslewood]

His playing demonstrates maturity. I'm not here to judge, I would be missing the point of being a musician if so. I doubt however that you could watch this video and not be inspired in some way. He is one of the reasons I, myself still play drums and believe in the freedom of expression. Technical skills like his phrasing and flam taps are incredible but the whole point is not to judge but to listen and let it take you! Go Ronald!

[@edgenovese]

Heart and imagination is over the top. A true genius of invention. he really is the next Tony...a name held dearly in out history... God's speed in your career///

[@WalfDrums]

Ronald, you are amazing, I met you together with Tony,and Thomas,you were just kids. Love what you are doing. Walfredo sr

[@AnimalHippy143]

so much for all the drummers i thought were the best in the world. Ronald exceeds all ive ever seen and heard. INCREDIBLE, AMAZING.

[@c7Drift]

This has to be one of the best solos I've ever seen. I've dismissed this guy in the past as just another gospel drummer w blazing chops but his playings pretty deep. Always coming from the groove..I hear alot of vinnie in here

[@Mr.DingusDocter]

Lingus- snarky puppy
Larnell lewis

[@nylesfrench3568]

Like his Father, he's always been about playing everything, including Jazz. Gospel BTW, is from which Most popular American music comes.

[@augsdoggs]

@@Mr.DingusDocter
Any Larnell Lewis for that matter.

[@andrevanegasenterprises2039]

Unlike most young players these days who can play with fiery rudimentary skills yet overplay, did I say overplay where you can’t tell one play from another all sounding the same .. however Ronald Bruner jr is the exception. He is what a drummer is supposed to be and does what a drummer is supposed to do! He is musical, expressive and never overplays. He only unleashes when asked .. incredible young player! Very inspiring!

[@moritzlehner7615]

Frist video that I've seen from this guy and he's already one of my favourite drummers

[@hermanmelville3871]

So much Billy, Tony, Dennis and Vinnie in this kid.

[@dustinwilliams7542]

Exactly!!!! He studied privately with Will Kennedy as well. He is fantastic

[@djstogoweddingpartypros2188]

What about a little Philly Joe?

[@camploismyalias]

I was just thinking that as good as he is Dennis in his prime days would still eat him, non of the new drummers are better than the old drummers...Dave weckl is still playing....

[@james12erby43]

Exactly

[@MrRabouni]

AAAND some Purdie ;)

[@gh0stn0tez]

8:12 holy hell look at the front of that bass drum head. looks like the beating heart of a giant ready to explode.

[@YouthDrummer]

To all the haters, you hear the crowd? That is his reward for playing his 'shit' solo. If the crowd loves it, it's a success for the night. Music moved the crowd so your argument is invalid

[@borgullet3376]

AND he can sing like he's in the Bee Gee's... No one can touch that kid. NOBODY

[@ChrisMcNugget]

Haters can’t not hate. Let them reveal themselves and ignore them lol.

[@andreashoppe1969]

Haters think the hate on other musicians, but in fact they really hate on themselves for not playing as good as them is my belief

[@dikbeats2720]

What fucking prick said this was a bad solo? They can't of been a drummer for a start, nor a musician and one who hasn't a clue about anything!

[@odysseasg3896]

I don't think anyone who play drums think this solo is shit...

[@drummerfranky]

one of the best snares ive ever heard!

[@user-jl2nv4mo4q]

Well mixed up alright.

[@user-jl2nv4mo4q]

Micd

[@MegaDrummerboy84]

Who ever gave this video a thumbs down DOESN"T APPRECIATE DRUMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drmnkid12xx]

I bet when he closes his eyes, he’s just reminiscing of the old times he and his brother jamming when learning there craft. Two great accomplished musicians

[@JeremySmith-sx9oe]

truly the best I ever seen

[@joshuajuaire8757]

One of my favorite drummers he is a gift from God

[@BiteMyShinyMetal4ss]

I've never heard any greater and precise ghost notes than from Ronald Bruner jr., seriously!

[@1973833]

Impossible lightness of playing!You must love this guy..

[@maiabro]

Simply amazing.. one of my fave drummers, god blessed with great chops.

[@Butch3727]

Not that Marcus hasn't had talented drummers...just never let them cut loose like this!

[@DREWSKIBOY1]

Probably because none of his other drummers could dig in like this

[@ronaldothomejunior3702]

Billy Cobham is my favorite drummer. And Ronald (which have my name...) has a very influenced sound here. But he has some of hip hop, reagge and modern music, I think he is not a empty copy. Congratulations, man!

[@andreashoppe1969]

That snare sounds sooo nice!

[@jcbacongrease]

Aside from the fact that Ronald is a monster, those are some sick hats.

[@vangorkj]

For 47 years I lived under the impression that I knew pretty much all the great drummers in the world. But obviously I missed a vital part of "the world": the one including Ronald Bruner. That was awesome!!!!!! Big "thumbs up" from Breda (Holland)!

[@djduckyduck]

My dude it a monster now. I sure do miss those days back in HS. LOVE YOU BRO.

[@KerbyAllain]

His musical sense is amazing.

[@drumrboi72]

This is my 1st time watching him play and I MORE than highly impressed!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@EIStudent]

The only word that comes to mind is "ridiculous!". Dude...he displays so many technical skills he's obviously mastered it's insane! OMG...

[@jmetalskinz]

Excellent control! What a great drummer....so much feel!

[@homersanchez8580]

Man, what a solo. Loving it!

[@ghettobohemian2803]

So... we're just gonna not lie like my face was stuck in funk this whole video. I NEED to see this live.

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

I bet you you have never met him in person.
He's super down to earth he just has a thing called a sense of humor.
I had a chance to sit in with him in a shed in Inglewood,CA one of the nicest guys I've met.

[@donitavann108]

My family!!!! Hey Ronald!!!❤🖤💚

[@mhazard1000]

Saw him auditioning live in an open rehersal for Prince last night! Dude is a BEAST!!

[@paulivin4654]

This is all you dream of as a drummer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@climbjay]

Man is a genius. Of all the gospel style drummers today this man is the most tasteful. Lovely player.

[@danielmathia5875]

this guy just push the boarders farther. sometimes you must ask yourself, if he is even a human beeing :) icredible!!

[@odysseasg3896]

5:37 wow that transition though

[@luigicannizzo2669]

Very Special Nice. .. Great Drummer Expression ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

[@MrFredydrummer]

great great very great solo
ronald brunner explosion drummer fast
this drummer is very reminiscent of the great master Dennis Chambers

[@salthedrummer1]

Outta Control!!! Wow amazing I can see BILLY Cobham in his playing

[@tylerjshort]

The beat within will never delay...

[@iceydaywalker9198]

amazing drummer. amazing solo.
damn.. i need a snare that sounds like that. dope.

[@MiUnited]

Explosive drumming! So much passion and expression! Blast beat drummers have to watch this

[@Steve81650]

Great!!! Lot of feeling.THAAAT's what music is all about.FEELING !!!! Great job

[@sickotwist9802]

Out of this world fast! Creativity was excellent for me too👍

[@edman6968]

Yeah ! Baby ! Syncopation Man Para diddles DE Luxe !
Straight up !

[@trippellol]

Remember seing Ronald with Stanley Clarke live in Seattle in 2009. The most powerful roll strokes I've ever heard!

[@Stubbs119]

My face has melted off, and it felt so fucking good.

[@Rk-zp4yr]

what separates Ronald, Tony r, Thomas p, and Chris Coleman from everyone else is the power and intensity that they are able to do their single stroke rolls

[@DREWSKIBOY1]

This is one of the most jaw dropping performances Ive seen by him...he digs in the drums so hard and fast

[@bcancun123]

John Bonham would've love those hats

[@dertrommler942]

Almost forgot to watch this today.

[@paulatreides2309]

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DRUMMER since vinnie and weck.

[@rired2005]

Jo Jo Mayer

[@Jpgoeagles]

rired2005 hell no wtf lol

[@josshlegg8647]

Roniaaroni Music doesn't care about how advanced your hand technique is, which is why no one in music besides drummers knows who Jojo Mayer is. You don't see him out there playing for actual artists, do you? For this reason I consider him a popular 'drummers drummer', but not really influential on the music scene.

[@charlesabboud1613]

How thrilling was that!!! I'm reminded why I love the drums and I really loathe drum machines and samples.
I had never heard of this guy until I came across this by accident!

[@teddygrant5416]

Then you'll despise Ronald because he can play to live and both to programming.
As well as Karriem Riggins (Who is a Jazz Drummer and Hip-Hop Producer) and ?uestlove.

[@Barringtonn_]

[@duran288]

[@johnpaulondrums]

who would go out of their way to dislike it? damn, I guess they dont know bout that groove!

[@kosephdrums]

drums sound golden

[@wwjd1717]

Just another pretty superhero!

[@luisalvaradoquesada2427]

Ronald Bruner Jr. es el más rápido y mejor baterista de jazz del mundo que yo haya visto y oído hasta ahora.

[@RafaHidalg0]

It seems so easy to play the drums watching this guy.

[@ManuFeramus]

C'est monstreux! j'adore! Bravo !

[@ethanfrye31]

That kit is gorgeous

[@maiabro]

Awesome clip.. and its not just his drumming.. his musicianship that blends so well with top musos like Stanley Clarke, George Duke, & Marcus Miller!

[@docteurvicodine3464]

[@davehanlondrummer]

Fantastic solo & arrangement.

[@94LG]

THIS IS SOOO NEAT! BRAVO!

[@umstoney]

The beauty of drumming is there is no right or wrong. Its all about your creativity. I think this guy is amazing and he was hand picked by Stanley Clarke for his trio. He's amazing in that as well, you should check it out.

[@Drumminsince89]

It was the Zildjian Re-Mix hi hat..they came out for all over 10 minutes, they stopped making the whole series. Then they came out with the remix series again like a year and a half ago, but the line up was completely different.

[@paynebabes123]

I always think that. Its always frantic and so dynamic

[@Grind_Over_Matter]

RUclips, please let me like this a hundred times over, Thanks.

[@YouthDrummer]

Holy Graveyard those ghost notes are glorious
