Ronald Bruner Jr TamTam DrumFest 2010 

No Moeller, Push Pull or Flying Finger and other Gimmicks, but a seriously good Grip, Biceps, Forearms, Wrist, Finger Technique and a lot of Practice and Passion over years = fast as Hell...

This dude is gonna be remembered as a generational drummer. Maybe he already is...

12 years later and this video is still mind blowing

Tony Williams: 24:39 Lenny White/Billy Cobham: 26:15 Dennis Chambers: 27:09 Steve Gadd: 28:13

One of the very least drummers who is really a Genius on his Instrument he really masters his Instrument, controls it for 100%! A real Master. It's not your Eric Moor or Tony Royster or who else you think is the real Master on drums HE is one of'em. Chris Coleman and a couple more... Ronald Bruner is a real Master on his instrument he owns the game , he plays what ever he wants without any licks or trained behaviors or any kind of rehearsed patterns or licks. He is INCREDIBLE

Ronald's signature and voice is so special, but it's nice to see him pull his DC and BC inspirations.... He is an amazing musician! God bless my man! -G

My GOAT

Oh my god. Ronald makes the simplest beats sound so goooooood

This is gold! thank you for posting

Muy gran batero ronald bruner.felicitaciones!! De lo mejor!!!#

Thanks for your answer! That's such a shame. One of the most beautiful rides I've heard too.

thanks for posting awesome stuff!

Thnx for sharing! This guy is brilliant

So inspiring 🙌🏾

thanks very much for this, awesome stuff! very funny guy too!

He was referring to the quality of the mic...not the guy's language.

Phenomenal skills but ego is exploding trough the roof.

Inhumanly good....

This is something else

Welp...this video is gonna last me for awhile. Thanx for posting!

awsome

No matter how extraordinary Roland Bruner is, 34:18 - 35:02 was just rude and insulting. His excuse 'I love you man' doesn't make up for his behavior.

Sick

13:11 Greg Howe, Dennis Chambers, and Victor Wooten haha so awesome to play along to that!! Great album check it out

The main crash song like the crash from Dennis Chambers "In the Pocket" video ... WHich I have been looking for that sound to this day!!

@SlicksTheEnigma One track is a cover of "Protos Cosmos" by Allan Holdsworth But the first and third track are tracks Ronald composed himself if I'm not mistaken the third track is called "Take the time"

i like how he has his own stile i don't see anyone play like him some people try to copy other people's stile

34:18 his reaction just killed me with laughter

@TheERnIeRocKs Tama Starclassic Bubinga (Black Silver Racing Stripe finish) with a Tama Starphonic Bubinga Snare drum and a Tama Starphonic Brass side snare.

That groove at 11:58 has haunted me for months.

He so crazy on drums cause he has alot of discipline on the instrument i can tell

@Moog167 year I know, but i really doesn't look like any of them.. but yes, bubinga snares sounds awesome! The omni-tune bubinga sounds great too - nice crack to it :P

The tunes 13.11 is Allan Holdsworth 1979

I need Ron to tune all my snares !!!!!!

these are his tracks( in that, his homeboy let him use them). he always uses these same tracks. he used them on the modern drummer fest video.

what snare is he playing here? sounds really good!

When Ron was naming his influences, did the laugh get translated as well.. or am I tripping?

The kid asked him what exercises ronald does. Not how many times does ronald practice, or for how long. The translator fumbled.

@Moog167 haha, what do you mean by any? I can't seem to find it.. maybe it's custom made specially for ronald? (:

Was hoping to get a good look at it but is he playing the Starphonic Bell Brass in this?

What's the name this music that his play in 13:15'?

What a beautiful ride! Does anyone know what it is? I'm guessing it's a K Constantinople, but I'm not sure.

If only it was possible for humans.....

ahaha the msn window is open ahahah very nice solo!

@BBlessingGod any tama warlord series :D

anyone know whats happening at 41.39..i would greatly apreciate ..

how do u get endorsed by tama

Tama is the best! 3

I wonder what tracks he's playing on.

The song at 13:11 is an original composition of Allan Pasqua guys is not Dennis or Holdsworth

God lord have mercy yessir 41:53-41:59

@BBlessingGod The Tama Warlord snare series include 5 snares called the Titan,Spartan,Praetorian,Masai,and Valkyrie Yes Ron's snare could be a custom one but it has the lugs of a warlord snare. And he does use the Warlord Athenian or Valkyrie(it says on the Tama website). The masai is my personal fave.

what kind of drum set? tama ....? thanks in advance :)

Whoa, this is great. I wish he would have let more people ask questions. I'm pretty sure it's unnecessary to translate names too.

Why no drum mics

craziest licks (i think) 45:30 to 45:44

Funny at 34:17.

whats the little china to his left?

Thomas Pridgen 25:53-26:15? :p

more musical grooves ....!! would be nice!!

Does Ron have some inside joke about Derek Roddy or something? lol

DENNIS CHAMBERS PLAY ALONG?? =D

anyone who tells me this drummer is not musical doesn't love music

Lo tenes a tremendo batero enfrente y le preguntas qué parches usa?????

get spotted because your good

i see what you did there lol

29:31 derek roddy lol #hes a heavy metal drummer

un poco loco

In reply to Alexander Bulthuis and cbmuzik ... You're right Alexander!!!!!! He was being very disrespectful and acting like an ass!!! He should never have mocked that guys voice like that. But he is like that.. he is extremely conceited and and obnoxious! I have met him.. I know!! He is an amazing drummer but his character is ugly sadly!! :/
