Ronnie Tutt drum solo 1977 Elvis in concert

[@cindyrutterable]

Best drummer in the world. Of course a little prejudice as he is my DAD!!

[@rayadkins9890]

THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD, FANTASTIC.........ALWAYS ELVIS

[@weegmon]

really?? im a huge elvis fan named my 1st son after him,aaron presley but it was supposed to be aron but hospital screwed up and he was a great drummer

[@joecelozzi9280]

Great drummer really your dad

[@curtismoff]

No shit? He was an awesome drummer or he wouldn't have been a part of TCB Elvis only picked the best

[@clifffor1179]

Cool!

[@deebee9751]

I'm also a drummer and when I was 12, I saw Ronnie Tutt play in the aloha tour live on TV. He had so much energy and showmanship that I couldn't take my eyes of his fantastic playing. He really lit up the Elvis Band just like Buddy Rich did with his big band. Ronnie was giving 110% in that fantastic concert. I never heard a rock and roll drummer play like that at such a fast pace.

[@tailgunnerrich592]

Elvis always has the best musicians to back him up.

[@Meme-zc4cw]

Yep, when you are Elvis you can pick the cream of the crop.

[@diagreen]

Elvis always gave his band equal time.nobody did that back then. 3 minute bass solos,drum solos,he would let his backup singers sing without him..he would put his whole band on billboards with him..coolest guy ever

[@eljefemaximo5420]

Elvis was surrounded by talent he had JD Sumner the greatest bass singer of all time.

[@kylewood8327]

Sure they did, drum solos were the norm back in the 70’s. Plus this was fat Elvis, he needed a break

[@palmbeachcitizen]

I went to an Elvis concert in 1974 just to watch Ronnie Tutt.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

When Elvis moves to your drumming, you know you’re doing it right!

[@YouzTube99]

When Elvis steps back and gives YOU the spotlight . . . well, what more needs to be said? RESPECT!

[@groovemaster-bt7jr]

Such a big moment

[@rodolfoperalta5180]

Exactly

[@patton303]

Drummers might be interested to know that this kit is actually a Ludwig Vistalite. It has a chrome wrap. Ronnie loved the way this kit projected. It was loud as hell. Lol.

[@jhardycarroll]

I met his daughter Rhonda on a summer job. She said "My dad was Elvis's drummer." I was "Yeah, right." Years later I saw she was not lying.

[@carolinjersey5381]

RIP Mr Ronnie Tutt. Thanks for the music and memories. Tell E we all say hello. 10-16-2021 🙏 🕊 🎶

[@samorka2330]

I did a drum show with him in the crowd when I was 12. He told me to never stop drumming and gave me a signed picture. ❤️

[@dennishardy3869]

Now that's what I call playing the drums. Famed drummer Ronnie Tutt . Elvis's drummer.

[@davidmccall4776]

[@david640]

In my opinion, Ronnie Tutt is one of the world's most underrated drummers,. This man is brilliant.

[@cherylmcdowell39]

@blindtoby NO DUMMY, I DON'T THINK ELVIS KNEW HOW TO PLAY THE DRUMS, BUT HE SURE DID KNOW HOW TO SING, PLAY THE GUITAR, AND PLAY THE PIANO!!! AMONG OTHER AMAZING THINGS!!!! RONNIE TUTT, IS THE MOST AMAZING DRUMMER EVER!!!!❤️💯🌹❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@cherylmcdowell39]

@blindtoby WOW!!!!! I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT ONE!💙

[@CooManTunes]

+Kenneth Williams Jerry Scheff...who was also the bassist on the last album by the Doors.

[@Jon-zf3dq]

+Kenneth Williams He sure did. I tell all my friends Elvis had the best band of the 70's hands down. Don't forget Glenn on the piano, he's no slouch either.

[@stoneyhurddle3031]

[@dm95422]

RIP Mr. Drummer Man !

[@drumcatfano705]

Love his Drumming.Great

[@timmumford2209]

Ronnie was my main influence as a kid. It was Ronnie that gave me my first dreams of becoming a drummer. I heard some of his stuff with Garcia and later Diamond, but was in a total different genre by then. Thanks Ron! You hard workin son of a gun!

[@ThePantanalBluesMan]

[@MrLunchHour2]

A great drummer who had to watch Elvis with his hand legs , body movements! So spot on with all live video footages I’ve seen!! As a soloist, very very basic Tom fills !! The King must have told him off to make it simple and not complicated!! lol Thanks for sharing this video too !! ❤

[@donaldfifer605]

If that is your DAD……you have Rights !!! He is undeniable

[@gerhardtutt6909]

Wonderful

[@vincenzoridente9994]

The greatest drummer in my opinion Elvis knew how to pick them

[@rogerbennett6117]

Very solid drummer !!! With the king of Rock n roll

[@richardjohnson474]

Ronnie was not just the drummer he was the band leader.

[@bobbiemoore1745]

Ronnie Tuff is the best drummer ever. He played for Elvis all those years an made the special video of Elvis in different concert an the one he made that went all over the world....

[@47Robbi]

So Awesome and soulful!

[@saraiami6096]

Each move, each hit, each beat is carefully orchestrated and felt. This man had a purpose for every drum he included...right down to the cowbell. Genius

[@denn4u]

RIP. WILL. BE. MISSED.

[@macthedrummer1]

I Really enjoyed that, its mad how huge his toms look from the behind him view and @1:48, that cymbal to his left...Beautiful.

[@euyin6891]

Rest in peace man 🎶🥁

[@telcomotion]

This man is a genius! His drumming is awesome! He pushed the music of Elvis beyond any limit 🥁🥁🥁👍

[@lizmuhoberac1753]

My dad, Larry Muhoberac, recommended Ronnie to Elvis for the gig...lol!

[@thorstenriedel3152]

Drummer of the King........a Drummerking

[@sakkel.7357]

The Elvis of the drums.

[@hauk65000]

Always thought Tutt really was the best and real drummer. He had his own solid, extreme and strong basic power in the battery. Tutt was probably the very foundation that made Elvis' great success in modern pop music possible.

[@ruthsimon7035]

Great drummer! RIP Ronnie!

[@hectordpv8555]

RIP Ronnie 😭😩

[@Horizen3872]

He fit well with Elvis. Great solo.

[@petesdrumchannel7257]

Best Drummer in the World, really.

[@lastrada52]

Real nice of Elvis to turn his spotlight over to someone as great as Ronnie Tutt -- live in concert. Terrific moment. I'll bet Ronnie remembers it to this day.

[@mircovannucchi6600]

The best drummer ! Rip Ronnie. MV

[@CharlesNewbold]

One of the best drummers of all time!

[@romainc577]

monstrous. ELvis took the best

[@rhythmista7707]

When i was kid and this aired, i was only 6 years old, but was already immediately drawn to the drums. I now play professionally, and have a few things to say about this man's playing. When you listen to what he's doing on this live version of That's Alright Mama, most hard rock drummers would never imagine that this guy would pull a double bass drum pattern as many 80's hard rock bands would regularly do, most notably Alex Van Halen, Tommy Aldridge, and Tommy Lee, which is the shuffle double bass drum pattern, sounding like a jackhammer. Ronnie Tutt achieved this on a rockabilly tune that Elvis' first drummer, the late and great D.J Fontana created. He managed to take a classic rock n roll drum pattern, and modernized it n the 70's on an Elvis tune no less.. That, is superior drumming.. Mr. Tutt is the man !!

[@pearldrummer4077]

Yes and the double bass towards the end of See see Rider too, notable in Elvis on tour . The guy's incredible.

[@Hugeroost]

sir you are so right, if you follow from when he got into the TCB band forward you can certainly tell that E recognized the talent and after awhile just gave him the green light. I saw Elvis maybe 10 times as a kid w my parents, and when E entered the stage and Ronnie went into that intro, it sounded like the roof was gonna cave, but it was tight, not all scattered. Ronnie had never played double bass, and said if there was ever a time this would be it, he never looked back and E loved it, love that intro to this day, aint no doubt who that is

[@johnnovak9982]

Ronnie Tutt always loved his drumming, even when I was little👍🏻💯

[@ispanico30]

R.I.P. Ronnie !!!

[@princegroove]

As a drummer myself, you know one is in the zone whenever the head bobbing begins during a solo.

[@BrianHarrisDrummer]

So good, so tasty and a rock solid meter! I always rewatch this video when it pops up in my YT feed every couple years.

[@vituspohl9316]

RIP Ronny.....All things must pass. 👐👐👐👐

[@richieburns1021]

RIP Ronnie . Fantastic drummers. X

[@blujay9191]

Excellent. Musical. Very much in the same groove and feel as the song.

[@mohiki69]

A M A Z I N G !!! ❤

[@catmalogen23]

From Elvis to Garcia, endless creativity

[@mtvcanava15]

Ronine Tutt was amazing drummer, Elvis was very spiritual person...

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

I was 13 the first time I saw Elvis, which was 1970. When I noticed the drummer with all his long hair and dark beard while EVERYONE else in the band was clean shaven , I thought to myself, "wonder why Elvis has this hippie in his band?" 😂 Mr. Ronnie Tutt is one AWESOME drummer and a legend.
