Tony Royster Jr. - Developing A Sense Of Time (Masterclass Preview)

[@spencerj]

Avid Royster Jr. fan here. An important note I've noticed in seeing some of his other videos is that he is well versed in playing in 13/16. He has a piece written in this time signature, and has a drum clinic where he messes around in this time. The takeaway from this is to extensively practice any particular odd time before you become comfortable with it or before you try and improv over it.

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

Astounding to see see 12, 737 views in 22hrs [579 views/hr]. Drumeo has a truly outstanding presence online, so well done to their team!

[@KM-px8cs]

I'm glad he said that playing by feel came more natural. That's how I play a lot of the time and it's nice to know an accomplished professional does also and that it's not a bad habit.

[@8020drummer]

1:23 hints at the big beat he's feeling underneath

[@Balloonbot]

Can someone post the lyrics?

[@theconversativedrummer4789]

I love tony royster jr He's just so easy going and never seems cocky idk he just makes me feel like i can do what he does. Not saying i will ever but he's very good

[@NYCGERSON777]

Tony is definitely on my top 10 favorite drummer of all times!!!! He's been a beast on drums since the age of like 5 LOL

[@Jephthah888]

LET_THE_ TRUTH_BE_TOLD who else would you consider top 10?

[@GoGsxr6]

Know where the 1 is! words to live by in the drum world!

[@ultragogeta]

Now this will help me. Been playin now 18 yrs, and still wantin to take my skills to new levels.

[@randrade89]

[@randrade89]

+Salvador Santana yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahh

[@davidfrankdrums]

All kinnnnndddddddssssss of gaaaaiiinnnnnzzzzzzz

[@GGDrummer]

Tony is a very precise drummer!!

[@epiczeven6378]

Tony the BEAST!

[@JaeGolden]

superb footwork

[@cyoung7127]

Interesting, the way I was able to keep up with the 13/16 timing was to first figure out that it wasn't 6/8 or 7/8 but something in between because the 1 and 7 almost line up but not quite. Once I figured that out, it made perfect sense.

[@kevinvanrillaer5965]

+Cory Y figured it out exactly the same way :D

[@jorgelopez9620]

Wow that was amazing

[@GamesMobileBR]

"Six,one,two,three,four,five"...Isso nada mais é que um metronomo em velocidade acelerada.

[@robosdrumworld]

I want that metronome for real!! He is killn it for real!!!!

[@devinkoshney]

“Over time, that’s how I learned to keep time like that” Lol it takes time to learn time, I guess.

[@MrChlor2]

Tony Royster is a JUNIOR EEEEE!!!!

[@Bollesan65]

Monster!

[@elpl2751]

bollesan ghost

[@pab75]

Wow that metronome is annoying!!! lol

[@scienceguyJ1]

+pab75 You can almost see a stern, tiny woman shouting relentlessly.

[@scarso]

+pab75 Yeah, I had to skip the part where he was playing. What kind of masochist would voluntarily listen to that?

[@link470]

Gahhh I want to go drum now!!

[@Yojimbo711]

Beastly drumming!

[@richardtemple9292]

I have no words..

[@joshuacordero1407]

wht set does he have? 8', 10',12',14',16',22?

[@seanmedeiros]

what is that stack on his right side? Sounds dope

[@fabianmorkel8327]

Believe 18Inch evolution crash with a ozone under

[@ghiljeprox]

you did great men, awesome!!!

[@AfroLyrics]

@.58 secs, are those doubles ?

[@japaobateradrums2067]

Eita pegaaaa toop

[@kirjian]

I like to believe hes playing a random 4/4 rock groove and waiting for it to align with the click, not some mind bending metric modulation. I don't know how to even begin parsing it

[@Johnbobon]

I just play quartet notes in unison with all four limbs. Helps me keep time.

[@8bitflea]

can someone tell me were i can get a metronome that talks like his?

[@grassyknol]

Another way to count it besides saying (7)sev., is 6,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,1 and so on. It's great.

[@Drums4Life762]

Or 9,8,5,4,1,0,7

[@grassyknol]

+Todd Daniel What's your problem. I'm to help people you...

[@IHATENOTIFICATIONS]

+grassyknol If the key to playing 13/16 is knowing where the one is, surely you would just count 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1?

[@grassyknol]

+IHATENOTIFICATIONS Then why didn't you say that I'm an idiot and your not a wise ass

[@brandonlmbrt]

@drumeo please tell me what stack Tony is using! I can't find it anywhere.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+brandonlmbrt I believe it's an 18" HHX Evolution O-zone crash under a 16" HHX Evolution crash!

[@viktorforsblom7798]

Damn I'd get headache with that metronome :D awesome lesson though! Royster Jr. is a monster

[@MrTrini93]

I want that metronome sound! how can i get it?! Its sooooo tasty xD

[@MrStrongBro]

That's right Tony. That lady is gonna keep us straight. xD

[@Mirmo_Plays]

where can i download that old lady counting

[@manuelfernandes9216]

I would like too, if you know, i'd love to know, thks!

[@GyundoKim]

too late, but i think that one is same as Roland v drums metronome sound

[@emilwolski]

What is the name of those beaters?

[@rodolfoamaralguitar]

I apreciate if anyone knows a windows metronome that count 1 2 3 4

[@Th3Musu]

Can someone tell me what kind of stack/xhat are those from his right side? it looks like a pair of hhx crashes. any idea? thanks.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+Th3Musu I believe it's an 18" HHX Evolution O-zone crash under a 16" HHX Evolution crash!

[@Th3Musu]

+Drumeo i meant the one down the Roland pad that he's using as a xhat not the big one he's using as a crash.

[@DrummahBoy11]

+Th3Musu Tony explains his setup in a previous video of his on Drumeo. I believe it's call Creative Concepts.

[@Drumaier]

+Th3Musu yes because that will make you sound like TRJ right?

[@DrummahBoy11]

+Drumaier J *make

[@larrytate1657]

Doesn't have the teaching gene, only the playing gene.

[@ATXmw1]

+Larry Tate agreed. one of those guys kinda like Pridgen or Garstka even. They're so good they almost don't know what to say exactly... mostly just "go practice.. that's what we did."

[@AxelXJimenez]

That's why I love Benny Greb cuz he's a great player and awesome teacher

[@AxelXJimenez]

+Alex Edwards man I bet! I just got his The Art and Science Of Groove and it's badass!

[@tresI.I.I]

'Those who can't do, teach and those who can't teach...teach gym' - Jack Black. lol!

[@markjohnson9306]

I wonder if he’s actually capable of playing AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”.

[@tjdh34]

that drumset is overkill, im content with my 4 piece

[@Mezurashii5]

+tyree johnson Imo - either 3 piece or a progressive rock setup. Everything in-between is either overkill or not enough.

[@LearningDrummerSam]

+tyree johnson Yeah sure, say that when you're tony royster jr, bitches ;)

[@Crazy3189]

+tyree johnson There is no overkill, Just different kits for different players

[@joshcarroll9302]

It's not over kill for Tony freaking Royster Jr.

[@CtrlSaltDelete]

+tyree johnson I think if you use it well; add it to your kit, if you don't or don't need it then leave it out. I like a 5-piece myself because I use the shit out of my toms on certain songs (think tribal inspired grooves, not so much fills), but some drummers can do as much and probably a lot more with a 4-piece. I tend to agree with you that the combination of electric and acoustic is a bit much, but that's based on my style and the fact that I'm not a professional; while Tony Royster Jr. has a very different style and is a professional.

[@mance02]

What the metronome?

[@rickrukkus]

what brand hat is that?

[@rickrukkus]

thanks alot dude

[@fabioadias]

Damn!

[@larrytate1657]

Which beaters are those?

[@kalburo29]

Some of his skills came from Chris Coleman! :) they're both amazing drummer!

[@ohyeahhbrunomars3944]

0:58 Paradiddle omg

[@Ankylophobia]

+Izsák Semsei singles!

[@NotiFawkes]

I always thought trying to count while playing any instrument was difficult..... because for me allot of timing/grooves/swing can just be felt naturally.. and I use this lightly, as I am no professional at it.. It's what I like to call "Feelry" not "Theory"

[@10biie89]

playing on bred 1...Royster jr I wanna be like you I know I cant but I wish,.

[@sinchicated]

i just keep my left foot bouncing on the quarters

[@marcosfishmarcos]

"Not quite my tempo"

[@813RiC]

stfu

[@8020drummer]

Heel Up:)

[@tyrone31877]

Every time he hits the bass drum, I feel like I got shot.

[@mike.correa]

I'm just wondering. If he had to play a 7/8 but with his metronome only marking the 8th notes without accents on each "one", he would probably lose the first beat after playing so many polyrhythms and complicated fills. Or wouldn't him? This would be a great challenge!

[@annaalongi587]

this what happerns when you sleep with the metronome on since you were a kid

[@manuelfernandes9216]

Can anyone tell me the name of this metronome??

[@robosdrumworld]

Manuel Fernandes 13/16

[@cardsfanatic]

Fuck yeah!

[@gabrielgomer]

Aaaand there it is again, the metronome from hell.

[@ZippyBumpHD]

[@devinbuchhorn]

+Zippybump Tech Roland TDK-30 Controller

[@iMr_Jones]

+Devin Buchhorn Thanks, I was wondering the same thing.

[@brenthoadley]

[@harrisongdavis]

Ya, that metronome has to go/replace it with another tone....

[@antoniojunior4128]

[@danielroik6065]

I came he for the Tony Royster JR Drum Solo. Then when i herd >1,& 2 &,3 &,4, & 5, & 6 & then >1 &,2 & ,3 &,4 & hell No< Over & Over like a broken record, i was like hell No, that is so Annoying me 1,000%, how can Tony Royster JR, not want 2 smash that thing up. i would throw my Drum Stick's at it. I find that women thing very Annoying, it's almost like that, women from tekken tag tournament 2, Anna my Pleasure see say's that every time you play her or beat the crap out of her, & all the other word's that, she say's in that video game are very ANNOYING. NIna is way Better. Not a Bad Video but Tony Royster's Other Video's are Extreme Mode.
