Tony Royster Jr. - Gonna Do Me

[@jimmysmthj]

little tony Royster!! well he's not little anymore, I'm a retired Drummer with the United States Army Band! use to played with Tony Roster senior the father! very good guitar Player! met little tony when he was just a little boy! his father told me some stories on when he first started playing! it was a gift from god. his father said he use to take little tony with him on gigs when he got tired he use to sleep in his guitar case! one day he just got behind the drum and just started playing!! I can say he's one of the best in the world!!.

[@TheDaninky]

Jimmy Smith - I used to work with Tony Sr as well, met Tony Jr & his brother a couple times at unit softball games / functions.

[@Oobi-fh8mc]

Jimmy Smith He used to live on my street when we were kids. We would also stop by his house to see if he could come play, but he was usually practicing. His dad had big things planned for him and all that sacrifice paid off.

[@uhetsberger]

Wow, you guys must be really proud!

[@Dbsonicpro]

Jimmy Smith nb

[@ASBOmarc]

Tony Royster Jr, undeniably a master at his craft. Words fail to accurately describe the amount of power, control, accuracy and groove Tony applies to his playing.

[@nelsschulzke6231]

Does everyone else realize that Tony is playing over the drums on the song, but his timing is so good that not once does the track drum piece come through. BURY THE CLICK TONY!

[@teddys3558]

N A S T Y ! ! ! All of the thumbs down are all the people who don’t understand groove and have zero concept of the art of dancing. This was a clinic!

[@samcooke343]

Also the mix on these videos are incredible. If any of the engineers are reading this, massive well done guys.

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Nah, the backing track was too loud.

[@IkoLx123]

Sam Cooke soooooooo true

[@samcooke343]

Any quieter and the drums would be too loud in comparison. I think it's spot on.

[@dajaloo]

I saw it :) THX guys ;)

[@samcooke343]

+Laurent Decavele You replied!

[@sleepyeyez2310]

i been playing drums since I was 3 years old and I am 32 now. Tony is the best #1 hands down

[@MichaelSeyfried]

he always keeps the head ringin like a metronome, love that

[@brianelli8063]

dw drums. Proud to see him on them. They are made here in our city. The staff there are good people.

[@MrJpm1989]

Your kits,style and sticking are second to none. The earth beats through your groove.

[@donaldham1218]

Glad to see how Tony Royster in the drumworld always has evolved himself just in the last ten years even though he has been around a long time.

[@jamesplummer9581]

That track is literally godsent!!!!!!!!! Whew! Tony, per usual, giving clean tasteful licks. 🙌🏾

[@premsaggar]

I can "feel" Tony playing and he moves me. Amazing.

[@CodyCarpSwag]

Super funky, This is why royster is in the all time top 10. Hes so versatile!

[@Daniel-ty9ei]

there is no "all time top 10" dude. it's music

[@judahwainwright5829]

Top 3 mate

[@alphanerd7221]

@@judahwainwright5829 Top drummers play in top bands. He's really good but he's not at the top.

[@tbonepercussion]

The PASSION for the music MUST come first....this is something you are BORN with, either you Have it or you Don't...If you don't then keep practicing. It's a good Spiritual feeling that you get (not from drugs) but when you can express yourself by yourself at home or the studio FOCUSED on every chord, keyboard stroke, guitar stroke, BASS line melody and synchronization with no judges, music directors, choir directors etc. but you are in your own world making the rules and into the music....no one can take that away from you.

[@davidkaplan8310]

2:20 the bread and butter with those ghost notes ... dayum!! Ish be tasteful !!

[@kendrickholiday4856]

always love your drumming tony you are one of the best

[@notyah2411]

Never cease to amaze me. God given for sure.

[@Sergii0x]

You should do more videos like this!!! Love IT!!!!!!!

[@RozilioMusic]

Mr. Royster, you are definitely on my personal top three ❗️👌🏾💯🔥

[@tbonepercussion]

Man, Tony Royster Jr. is that dude. Now ask a PERCUSSIONIST or DRUMMER how good it feels to let out your frustration on the drums/congas, that 'ISH feels GREAT!! Keep It ROCKIN' Fam! That's what I do. Motown Philly baby!

[@dikbeats2720]

Tony royster was the first drummer from the gospel chops/berkley school to really make me realize theres a lot more to drumming than meets the ear. And the first guy i saw from these chops and shedding videos. Fucking awsome.. Inspired me to get better on the drums

[@Sergii0x]

would love to see more of this from tony. Such a nice groove!!

[@ThePrudence23]

[@josshlegg8647]

[@bestdrumstar]

Does anyone know how drummers do live play alongs exactly like Tony did in this video? I wanna know what I need to get the music playing through the PA system and my headphones simultaneously while I'm playing. If there's a way I could get the music playing through the PA system but with the simultaneous click track through my headphones as well that would be a huge plus.

[@johnswan6759]

[@bengiilhan7580]

[@fillcrente]

[@Bateuresession]

[@brandontan3129]

fill at 1:29 !

[@alexnewton4169]

dead

[@jaredbruce8865]

Anybody know the sticking for that monster fill at 1:29???

[@nelsschulzke6231]

I wish. Sounds like a fraction fill maybe. I can't really tell though.

[@caliyork07]

imgur.com/a/YK8db just took about 30 minutes to write that up real quick. I"m pretty sure it's like 95% correct

[@caliyork07]

the fill starts on the and of 4, so i just threw some eight notes ahead of that to show the context.

[@nicholasdougan957]

Double rolls across the toms :P you pick the format

[@maxsergeant9934]

Nicholas Dougan it's most likely this pattern: RLRLKK around the the toms and then the second part i need to figure out, but all singles bud

[@davep1103]

COLD BLOODED !

[@traindawg21]

Yo correct me if im wrong but did i really hear the sound of light sabers towards the end?
