[@lamisticahumana]

Ah roger. His work at Tear it up, Liar, radio gaga were unbelievably impressive. And also, he's back singer too. Not many drummer can singing along with drumming. Roger is one of those drummers who can do it.

[@dacegermane47]

His drumming is excellent and voice as well 🥁🎶🎶

[@rfs_rfsrfs6874]

Really true opinion dude

[@themodestai9603]

The rev was one of those persons

[@michaelfloyd586]

👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@barbaramendoza2202]

Yes! His timing on “39” during live performances was truly impressive too. Tambourine and foot pedal bass drum on opposite times and then he’s singing too! 🤯 ⭐️

[@Kenny_P_abz]

Drums in “It’s late” are incredible, especially at the end of the bridge.

[@beandean23]

I love playing the air drums to this song! I look like a fool in the car, but I love it!

[@jonobishop7225]

The fill at the end of the double time guitar solo going into the last verse is my favourite fill of all time

[@theresarandall7448]

I really don't think that Roger could be boring if he tried. He was unselfish like the other members of Queen.

[@mollymollie6048]

I always thought the most amazing element of Roger’s drums was how he could do it so well, while having his neck turned completely to the side, and singing backup or leader, I can’t imagine how difficult that had to be, as well as uncomfortable!!! You rock, Roger, love you!

[@dianecourtney2724]

Have always wondered the same thing!!!

[@JUANJEN75]

Thank you for all 💕💕💕

[@PotatoCakes99]

A god damn legend. Roger and Brian are absolutely mesmerizing live.

[@benjamindeavenport5980]

Anyone who can sing and play drums at the same time is pretty cool beans in my book. His high vocal harmonies are one of the pillars of their sound.

[@mimimayerbennett4248]

Roger has always been the best drummer in the world! Period.

[@moonflower952]

Yep

[@dianecourtney2724]

Absolutely !! 😘

[@vernonbear]

Yeah nah. Great rock drummer no doubt add that to his success born of hard work undoubtedly puts him right up there as a rock drummer but he’s not right up at the top with Peart, Rich, Bonham, Copeland, Krupa, Baker, Moon or Watts.

[@damonson3614]

Have you ever seen another drummer?

[@jeestudent103]

@@vernonbear agreed

[@arifdanial647]

Yeah his drum kit is sound so clean and clear...especially his open close hi hat with the snare..is so perfect

[@A.A11632]

I thought I'm the only one noticed it. Yeah it's his signature style

[@shirabetty8483]

Even the way Roger steps on the left pedal is incredible, so delicate from his toe to heal, incredible technique in everything.

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

That one is a signature move of his, very unique and crafty.

[@adarshjha3733]

Now.. Please.. A video dedicated to Deacon's bass and amp is all I want.

[@prathamdhawal]

we're here for you ROGER!!!

[@blazerhawkdarren68]

Roger is very dedicated to his craft. That's what makes him, along with Neil Peart, as one of the best drummers ever.

[@coltsfan79]

I second this comment.

[@rman52]

I love his style of play and singing but sorry he is not in the same league as the Pearts, Bonhams, or Carl Palmers in virtuso playing. More like Ringo. Plays perfectly for the song. And great harmonies.

[@umadpayme5500]

still underrated as a drummer

[@crolzer8511]

Roger The Perfect Drummer Of Queen! Perfect Band

[@fannisalazar8695]

Roger is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥

[@audio-video-stereo]

If you ever saw Queen live, you did marvel at how they always sounded so much better than everyone else. They had a huge sound, and what jumped out at you first was the drum sound. It was enormous and obviously tuned to the hall & PA.

[@benjamindeavenport5980]

Sadly, I was 14 living in New Jersey about 20 minutes from NYC when their 2nd album came out. They passed through touring with Mott the Hoople but my parents wouldn't let me go into the city. By the time I was old enough to venture into the city the timing was off. Never got to see them live. 😞But I have several of their live performances on Blu-ray. It helps.

[@markmeleady]

My favourite rock drummer.

[@docskywalker51riftstudios58]

The drums, queen are monsters of the music!

[@leonardusnugraha6980]

When it comes to Roger's drumming, we should always remember his unique way of accentuating backbeats (snare hit) by opening and closing the hihats quickly

[@deaterk]

Leo - YES!!! An essential element of his unique musical ‘voice’ on the drum-set!

[@ethanjohnston7835]

Absolutely, I naturally replicated in my drumming because of him lol

[@ericplouvin7286]

That exactly, I'm frankly astonished it wasn't brought up in the sequence. Can't find the interview where he hinted that it was somewhat accidental but that he kept it as a trademark.

[@shirabetty8483]

Tuning the drums, the greatest drummer, Roger always plays the drums to make Queen songs better, not to show off, very powerful but very very delicate drumming too, even the way he steps pedals, incredible technique! Nothing would have started without Roger, on both studio and stage! And his son, Rufus, LOVE everything about Roger! アリガトウ

[@dianecourtney2724]

Amen to all that !!!

[@shirabetty8483]

@Deacon John ??? What do you mean, “a self-appointed drumming expert”? Roger is the drummer of Queen, his drum technique is incredible from the very beginning and respected by the other members and Queen fans a lot. Am I saying anything wrong?

[@shirabetty8483]

@Deacon John I also saw Queen live 12 times in Tokyo (79～85).

[@shirabetty8483]

@Deacon John Oh, you remember that! Yes, the person who was talking with me eventually deleted all her comments because it didn't make sense, but it looks like she created another account two weeks ago, she was the craziest person I've ever met.

[@shirabetty8483]
