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.
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!
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
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///
This dude came to my home ince in Elk Grove California after playing a gig with Kamasi Washington. Dude was really down to earth. And ive never seen a better drummer in my life.
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....
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)!
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!
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
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.
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
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
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!
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. #openyourmind
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.
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.
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.
She he wasn't mad 😡 this time,one thing that is amazing about Rob is that no matter how he drifts off on a solo he always manages to come back on the one's $ two's awesomeness 😎
The best I've seen. He has it all: Flow, musicality, chops, speed and power.
he's a 10th dan Master, close to Danney Carreys' level which I consider the GOAT... equal to Vinnie I'd say...
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
Ronald, you are amazing, I met you together with Tony,and Thomas,you were just kids. Love what you are doing. Walfredo sr

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

Lingus- snarky puppy
Larnell lewis
Like his Father, he's always been about playing everything, including Jazz. Gospel BTW, is from which Most popular American music comes.
@@Mr.DingusDocter
Any Larnell Lewis for that matter.
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///
This dude came to my home ince in Elk Grove California after playing a gig with Kamasi Washington. Dude was really down to earth. And ive never seen a better drummer in my life.
So much Billy, Tony, Dennis and Vinnie in this kid.
Exactly!!!! He studied privately with Will Kennedy as well. He is fantastic
What about a little Philly Joe?
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....
Exactly
AAAND some Purdie ;)
Frist video that I've seen from this guy and he's already one of my favourite drummers
one of the best snares ive ever heard!
Well mixed up alright.

Who ever gave this video a thumbs down DOESN"T APPRECIATE DRUMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Impossible lightness of playing!You must love this guy..
His musical sense is amazing.
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!
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
AND he can sing like he's in the Bee Gee's... No one can touch that kid. NOBODY
Haters can’t not hate. Let them reveal themselves and ignore them lol.
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
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!
I don't think anyone who play drums think this solo is shit...
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.
Simply amazing.. one of my fave drummers, god blessed with great chops.
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
truly the best I ever seen
One of my favorite drummers he is a gift from God
Excellent control! What a great drummer....so much feel!
Not that Marcus hasn't had talented drummers...just never let them cut loose like this!
Probably because none of his other drummers could dig in like this
Aside from the fact that Ronald is a monster, those are some sick hats.
My dude it a monster now. I sure do miss those days back in HS. LOVE YOU BRO.
That snare sounds sooo nice!
The only word that comes to mind is "ridiculous!". Dude...he displays so many technical skills he's obviously mastered it's insane! OMG...
Man is a genius. Of all the gospel style drummers today this man is the most tasteful. Lovely player.
This is all you dream of as a drummer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is my 1st time watching him play and I MORE than highly impressed!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Man, what a solo. Loving it!
So... we're just gonna not lie like my face was stuck in funk this whole video. I NEED to see this live.
amazing drummer. amazing solo.
damn.. i need a snare that sounds like that. dope.
this guy just push the boarders farther. sometimes you must ask yourself, if he is even a human beeing :) icredible!!
Great!!! Lot of feeling.THAAAT's what music is all about.FEELING !!!! Great job
Explosive drumming! So much passion and expression! Blast beat drummers have to watch this
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
Saw him auditioning live in an open rehersal for Prince last night! Dude is a BEAST!!
My family!!!! Hey Ronald!!!❤🖤💚
Outta Control!!! Wow amazing I can see BILLY Cobham in his playing
RUclips, please let me like this a hundred times over, Thanks.
5:37 wow that transition though
How thrilling was that!!! I'm reminded why I love the drums and I really loathe drum machines and samples.

ronald brunner explosion drummer fast
this drummer is very reminiscent of the great master Dennis Chambers
John Bonham would've love those hats
My hands feel like pressing some buttons! Uncle Phil:) Awesome.............
Almost forgot to watch this today.
Fantastic solo & arrangement.
he gave his heart in this solo, that's how a solo must be
It seems so easy to play the drums watching this guy.
Ronald Bruner Jr. es el más rápido y mejor baterista de jazz del mundo que yo haya visto y oído hasta ahora.
Awesome clip.. and its not just his drumming.. his musicianship that blends so well with top musos like Stanley Clarke, George Duke, & Marcus Miller!
I always think that. Its always frantic and so dynamic
C'est monstreux! j'adore! Bravo !
truly Masterful!
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.
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DRUMMER since vinnie and weck.
Jo Jo Mayer
rired2005 hell no wtf lol
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.
cant get enough of this
who would go out of their way to dislike it? damn, I guess they dont know bout that groove!
THIS IS SOOO NEAT! BRAVO!
reputisima madre coñoooooooo!!!! tumbo a mis mejores idolos bateristas.....ahhh no tiene palabras lo que ace :D ptm gracias x subirlo!!!
Mire a "Tony Royster Jr"
También es muy muy bueno
Met him at Clifford Brown Jazz festival in Wilmington he backed up Stanley Clarke and George duke he is a powerful drummer from Compton ca
He's a really cool guy too. Met him at the Blue Note in NYC playing with Stanley Clarke!
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.
Frickin...
Amazing
drums sound golden
Beast

Caught one oh his drum sticks at a Kamasi Washington concert like a week ago

The beat within will never delay...
You nailed it. I didn't even want to watch this video. But holy fuck, one of my new favorite drummers. Love that slow groove.
Amazing talent!!!
She he wasn't mad 😡 this time,one thing that is amazing about Rob is that no matter how he drifts off on a solo he always manages to come back on the one's $ two's awesomeness 😎

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