Tony Royster Jr. jamming with the Roland SPD-SX and TD-30!

Tony Royster Jr. Future of Drums and Percussion - Roland Canada V-Drums Clinic Tour 2013 - Vancouver Science World Theatre, May 11th, 2013.

Finally! Somebody to demo these drums as something else that an acoustic kit replacement. As an acoustic set, and played as such they sound fake. As an extension of a drum machine and played as such..,Mind blowing!!

[@La_sagne]

yeah that's what i thought. i got an acoustic kit right next to me.. but i want something different(which also happens to be a great practice tool) i can't spend two hours tuning and modifying everytime i want to switch to dnb or something like that. :) i only bought a td11kv but that's already a very capable module

[@premsaggar]

He is the best drummer alive and possibly the best ever. I feel him more than any other drummer. Amazing.

[@AlexanderWDI]

Wow amazing skills. He's the only one that can make electric drums look cool.

[@iConviicted]

WHY AT TD30 so goddam expensive. i want one!

[@Dieterbe]

what a groove and creativity. 4:50 to 5:20 is my favorite. it's still pretty simple but even his simple playing is fascinating and original. I'm gonna study him more and try to incorporate some of those ideas to make my "standard" beats sound more interesting

[@grannygotswag]

Is it just me or is the bass drum distorting? For example the beat at 4:43? What do you guys think?

[@La_sagne]

that might actually be the sound they're going for... this kit has seemingly infinite settings.. and ive heard other drummers use distorting bass drums before, like aaron spears in some of his solos

[@drewper73]

When I watched this on my tv I didn't notice it b/c I was just listening through the tv speakers, but I just watched it on my desktop with headphones and I could hear a little distortion on the kick drum at 4:43. I would think that could be fixed very easily.

[@7thgenerationfilms]

Definitely some drummer haters in these comments. But I bet none of them have half of his skill. One of the reasons the internet sucks makes everyone feel like they're pros or experts. But you're still waiting for a call from Roland to demo huh? Keep waiting.

[@phildan9]

What I haven't seen anyone do yet, is play these through a huge PA, with big deep kicks , toms that will knock you on the floor and some hard rock/metal snare sounds with great Fender/Gibson tube like overdrive, guitar riffs even some kb samples of B3s, complete with Leslie emulation and some funky, walking bass lines and more Cowbell! ha ha! Let's see some of that! Don't make me come down there! peace!

[@burnthedead13]

just think if tony royster tried out for dreamtheater or any other metal based music in general. his hand technique is so clean its nasty lol

[@rexross6808]

he wouldnt fit well in dream theater. lol actually he hasnt been in any bands worth mentioning. he has ridiculous chops but seems to have zero song writing ability. kinda sad to be honest, because he is obviously super talented

[@pdstix78]

Love this dude SMH

[@joaofonseca5335]

great drummer, amazing!!!

[@ericsteven99]

This guys make me want to learn to play

[@patrickmurchison9982]

That's how it's done, Son!!!! T.R. Jr. is so imaginative....the themes and ideas just seem to flow!!!

[@markdrums8823]

Roland, can you (or someone) please tell me the name of the track at 4:44? Is it available for download?

[@tysonreesmusic]

I doubt anyone will get this reference.. but 3:00 Dynasty Warriors 3?!

[@kornee]

Does anybody know if it is possible to "layer" sounds like that with triggers on an accoustic set and an SPD-SX? WIth layering I don't mean enhancing the sound but getting melodic sounds in a specific order and key when he hits the tom for example. So playing the actual melody on your kit via his module. Hope someone understands this haha, I have a hard time explaining it:p

[@kcrunknessman]

6:00 he killed that shit

[@rhysmop]

Epic!

[@MichaelWilson-od7lx]

Tony Royster Jr. is having fun!

[@aarongeddis5943]

Michael Wilson

[@NeCtRiCkS]

From 6:12 on it reminds EA Dirt series' songs haha. Love it.

[@JoelFilizzola]

Eduardo Navas Daniel Garcia Alejandro Martinez

[@metalmac]

I love this guy, he's an amazing drummer and an awesome person !!

[@Djcarpets]

anyone know the sample at 0:48?

[@drummerboy91productions63]

I learn everything from Tony

[@TheJoekingGamer]

I should just make a Kickstarter to get myself all this 😂 I can't get real drums because my folks would never let me practice those at home. And I know I'll want better drums as soon as I have a cheap set of electric for like a month. And even the bland looking cheap ones are about 500$.

[@topazru]

05: 00 like gran turismo music))))))))

[@00741]

Check out JP Bouvet, he's good too :)

[@burnthedead13]

this guy is like the jordan rudess of edrums lol

[@MatthewFant]

Where do we get these custom shell covers for the drums? I saw a lot of ccol ones on the vdrum drum offs, and obviously this video.

[@burnthedead13]

check out kraftmusic.com i believe they sell them last i knew

[@jorgeribot6244]

how many minutes can you sampling in a file? I can load or take a 5 minute sampling or more ?

[@DjangoDavies]

Great kit

[@AV2095]

i have this drums) it's amazing!!!

[@premsaggar]

WTF! That was insane. He's still the best.

[@dblokni99a]

Godly.

[@yaboyb15]

T Jr kills everything big ups.

[@TheThecrazypeople]

@ericsteven99 learn to play the drums! It's awesome! I wish I had the money for this quality of kits. If you want to learn to play I'd recommend getting the roland Hd-3. It's a really good starter kit and it gets you to the point where you need to expand in your techniques. Then go for something like this, or something cheaper and not as space consuming like the td-15kv!

[@anav587]

Wow, talk about bad advice. DO NOT get a cheap shit electronic kit. Get a decent starter acoustic kit for the price, and put mutes on it if you have to.

[@TheThecrazypeople]

Anav Sawhney I got a cheap electronic drumkit, and I'm doing just fine with it. I am more comfortable with electric kits because they can be easily adjusted without having to re-locate a whole lot of other stuff.

[@SimonRendallProductions]

Amazing

[@777fiddlekrazy]

DUDE IS AMAZING!!!

[@sidd414]

Sick stuff man!!

[@farranatasya4519]

skillnya bagus...tapi beatnya standart2 aja..ga ckup bwt bwt headbanging..dubstep drumkits bgt

[@amandachandler1817]

I see the same thing at guitar center when 12 year olds are playing on these kits...... how about something with some structure instead of 10 seconds of mindless chops

[@a.yhprumnadia5646]

He showing the individual sound of drums and how they are not just a metronome... Do you want to see him play just a basic boring 4/4??
