Tony Royster Jr. Drum Solo - Drumeo

[@prestonlhouse]

I am usually not a huge fan of drum solos but I really enjoyed this. He demonstrated different skills and techniques but still kept it musical.

[@anthonysimone7129]

His cross-overs are insane. I can do a cross-over but not that nonchalant, fluid and smooth. He makes it look so fucking easy

[@sandansaiyan5675]

Drum solo is awesome thing in hand of great drummers

[@DisDatK9]

Which is why I love drummers like Tony Royster Jr. - dude knows how to get deep in the pocket but also has a super solid foundation to pull from.

[@ryanspeed4671]

drums sound amazing..love the pop on the snare..

[@giftedintrovert]

seriously, it gives me chills down my spine

[@evanjenkins5466]

THIS MAN MOTIVATES ME TO PRACTICE FOR 12 HOURS A DAY he is one of the greatest drummers of modern times

[@jimmytorbjornsson4714]

[@TronciM]

How can you practice for half a day

[@adamnicol4271]

Correction he was trained by one of the greatest of all time, Dennis Chambers.

[@schaddalton]

@@adamnicol4271 Yeeeeah, so it can actually be both. So (an actual correction): He was trained by one of the greatest drummers of all time, Dennis Chambers and has subsequently become great in his own right.

[@User-lu3gv]

@@TronciM Sleep less, that's what I do.

[@Sebvdijk]

This guy is a living legend. He didn't even break a sweat. Was this piece improvised? Kind of felt like it was. How easy this guy accelerates like it's nothing is praise worthy.

[@rutheragonoy2062]

Seb van Dijk if you follow him on instagram you'll find some of his warm-up doodling and they are insane.

[@suryapanditi3161]

Seb van Dijk I think there’s a little bit of improvisation in every drum solo.

[@robmurray2310]

I think this was Tony just messing around and actually getting a bit bored lol

[@stevedrums1675]

He was able to do things at 9 years of age that at 48 I still can't do. Some people just have "it" and he's one of them. I've followed him all through his career and I'm a fan. And considering how much I normally hate drum solos, I can happily sit through his because they tell more of a story than simply telling how how many chops he has. I love him.

[@SeitzAl1]

mind blown. ego crushed. ambitions rekindled.

@@LearsiMusic1 why is it about winning instead of growing? It should get you excited that there's a lot more knowledge about how to play drums that you can get to apply to your drumming.

[@jimmyjames8791]

that double kick groove was sick.. Thanks for this, Drumeo!!

[@eduardotorres6135]

That snare sounds amazinggggg! And solo

[@fatkidfrontflip]

Everything about Tony’s setup, style and sound is perfect!

[@Frenzy724]

Finally, the Drumeo drum solo we've all been waiting for!

[@epiczeven6378]

Tony R. is my personal favorite :)! I love how he can play anything, any style, that he just does not give a f*** and has fun.

[@Harryk7988]

Such a technically packed sense of groove! Absolutely amazing

[@chrishuard12]

His single and doubles are amazing! Complete mastery of the instrument. One of his tamer solo's for sure!

[@toddgriffith9042]

Super tasteful, the manipulation of motives was so on point, dynamics, phrasing, and plenty of space... everything I want in a solo - stoked to hear more

[@MrStrongBro]

Every time I watch Tony play, I can't help but giggle at astonishment! I absolutely love this guy. I've learned so much just by listening to him speak, and watching him play. Less is more, which is what I think makes this drum solo so great. Creativity should always dominate speed, not that speed isn't impressive, but being creative is what matters the most as a musician. Save your special tricks for occasion, because that makes them more impressive.

[@derekmotta6926]

Tony is probably in the top 10 greatest drummers alive. He has mastered every style into one. What a phenomenal musician.

[@100maeuk]

So groooooooovy !! That's not just a technical solo, it's a groovy solo. And that's why it's so good ! I actually don't like "technical" solos. But here, it's more like a song. Especially the beginning ! Cheers

[@SteveHolmesDrums]

Finally, someone who can tune DW drums and make them sound good. Great playing, nice story-telling, great production. Cool musical use of electronics.

[@tydouglas7568]

Steve Holmes I hate DW drums the sound like big empty cans ... I agree his are tuned nice 👍🏾 other than this I never hear a good sounding dw kit

[@Nathj04]

I agree they are beautiful sounding drums when tuned right, however the audio is EQ’d massively

[@drummonkeystuffuk1875]

Tuning drums is easy man. just put a new emad 2 head on my bassdrum retuned it and its punchy and has shit tons of low end :)

[@CrazyAssDrumma]

Like thomas lang says, tune to the feel of the drum, not the tone

[@abelriquelmevalencia]

@@tydouglas7568😮

[@rd708]

watching these solos on drumeo are really inspiring. I want to be able to play like this xD

[@slickingdom]

First off, this video was post 4 days ago as of today (March 22nd, 2107) and it has 40,464 views!!! That is INSANE!!! Secondly, Tony's solo was off the charts, literally!!! The things that he's able to do is so unconventional, but yet it almost seems normal. Thirdly, his combinations come from another time and space!!! Lastly, I always said that Tony Royster, Jr. was thee torch bearer that led all of the new young drummers (and some old ones) into the new millennium. We're 17 years in it and he's still leading the way!!!

[@blklotus2753]

When you're a child prodigy and you stick to it into your adulthood >>

Senri Kawaguchi, Jacob Collier, Dirty Loops, Mozart 🤣

[@dud3man6969]

He’s amazing. There is a female child prodigy in Japan. She’s 18 now I think. Her name is Kenade Sato. You should check her. She’s like a machine.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Hopefully he find a good metal band to jive with and form tool 2.0

[@ASpoonfulOfJimmy]

Didn't think I'd see you here. Happy prepping!

[@donaldbusby8627]

Tony Jr is one of the best drummers I've ever seen period

[@nmc2000]

The feel and groove in this solo is a nice change from all those double bass, speed-centric drum solos.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

love your work over many many years!!

[@pauls3946]

Been drumming since elementary school. In my fifties now. All I can say after watching him is, WOW!

[@paulyoung4781]

Wow lovely sound drum kit,Tom's are amazing and that snare wow brilliant playing too

Greatest drummer in the world! Change my mind...I'll wait.

[@chillin_abner]

WhoDarestheMAN gamer are u love with Thomas Lang or something 😂

[@ghrbxwarrior]

Without a doubt, this man is going down in history as one of the greats. I'll stand by this 100%. Granted this wasn't his best solo but who cares. Take into consideration his chops, licks, and the way he implements basic rudiments and turns them up a couple notches and manipulates them onto the set. He's iconic.

[@melvinrivera95]

This man is just one of the greatest ever!!

[@wardseyssens7474]

The most TASTEFUL drum solo I heard thus far!!

[@elmercenario9427]

years ago i watch a clip of video of a young little kid playing amazing drums ... and now in youtube era i found him again, even more amazing as an adult ^_^

[@Egonomical]

There are so many great great drummers out there only most of us mere mortals could dream of attaining, but this man has to be the best of the best just incredible how he can separate his feet and hands in different tempos and parts and put it all together. plus his speed licks are about as fast as anyone out there.

[@Adsterr]

Totally agree. He's Atleast top 5 best rn. And my favorite drummer

[@djdeville1031]

speechless.. He always amazes me every time I watch him.. It's crazy how time flies watching your video when he was 12 and completely amazed me then.. He is an awesome drummer to be so young.. I would love to see him in concert with his band. Don't know if they are traveling but it's on my bucket list to see him live..

[@jvega2447]

2:09 It's like bassdrum triplets, but instead of 3 notes, there are 5. Never heard it before.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

I don't think he really thinks of the rhythms he plays I think it just happens and he has the ability to play whatever he thinks of

[@jjynja6084]

It’s called a fivelet or formally known as a quintuplet. It’s a rhythmic subdivision that’s become more and more popular in modern jazz drumming which is definitely something up Tony Royster’s alley.

[@Filokidwithaguitar]

I love the sound of his toms👍👍👍👍

[@highervibetribe9137]

I just watched this like 5 times in a row. This is why I love TRJ. He actually had something Musical to say instead of just the same fast technical solo everyone else is doing. That shit at the end was funny as hell.
