Ronald Bruner Jr. w/Anthony Crawford on bass. 

I love everything about anthony's playing.

Never come across a busy complex drummer like this that is so tasteful.

Man i used to play this all the time back in the day!! Such good memories! Glad i came across it again :)

musicians that cant keep there own timing depend heavily on the drummer to do so for them....but that hadicaps yur drummer...he cant venture out because you'll get lost on your instrument..so therefor that musician now wants to blame the drummer....whatever...keep up or go home...especially if the drummer produce the track.....great video RBjr!!

This band warms my heart...keeping the REAL fusion alive. This is quality here.

How is a drumming performance like this possible? Some can practice for a lifetime and never get near this level. Just incredible.

I wasn't aware of that stuff and I appreciate you getting me up to speed on it. To me without getting technical it's all about enjoying listening to any drummer. I think Ron's a blast to listen to. The worst thing you can say about him is that at times he overplays. Hard not to with that Skill-set. It's like trying to keep a Ferrari under 70 MPH. As I said these gigs are based strictly on the drummer showcasing his skills. This isn't a CD or even a concert setting. He's not from this planet.

At 6:13 they play Mahavishnu Orchestra's You Know You Know

I am not a drummer, but I loved every second of this.

Sheer perfection. Simply flawless...

Still here

this takes me back... i know its new but dayum this reminds me of return to forever thats saying something

nuts... drums and bass... is amazing

dude is just scary good 😲😲😲

They need to release this on itunes. I remember when this was live on the drum channel. What a treat

just incredible...

Currenly my favorite band for sure! Outstanding. I never liked any drummer nearly as much as Buddy Rich until now!

This band is INCREDIBLE.

amazing performance......

pure magic

He is a freak of nature wow

He nailled the song and still had enough for a killer solo?? OMG

most legit, musical, and tight group ive heard in years..i may not know alot of fusion-esque groups..but i already know this is up there

Desde el primer segundo me di cuenta que este tío es diferente a todos estos buenos .Su manera de enfocar el tiempo y los breaks es de un gusto tremendo.Increible Ronald

he has definitely mastered the drums period. theres no other way to say it. the bass is off the chain too!!!

bass player raw as all get out!!!!!! dang!!!!

Got Chops?..... Anthony Crawford does.

Yooo when they hit the You Know, You Know groove for Ronald to blow over 🔥

pure joy

its jazz fusion. if you seriously are new to this (which could happen in this day and age ) and you want to hear more check out Herbie hancock head hunters album, chic correa, and for more modern stuff thundercat

my new favorite bass man!!!!!!

@andersonearl it does remind me of old school 70s fusion... its really freakin exciting!!

@Trying2Rip btw, thats part of the reason george and stanley use him so much. they both have stated that he is the only person that is at the level of billy. george called him a bull.

Ronald pushes the envelope and he knows it. He likes to explore how fast and complex you can play a passage and he enjoys doing that. Billy Cobham, MIchael Walden, Mouzon and others did the same within a Jazz-Rock context in the 70s and 80s. Particularly Billy who literally invented the style. Ronald does not care at this point of his career about elegance or taste same as Billy who played a drum solo in every song in his first albums.

His drums sound great.

4:38 Ron is the man

I'm totally new in this. Thanks a lot! I'm gonna listel those guys right now.

Superb!

THIS IS AWESOME MAN!!! LOVED EVERY SECOND

*0:18 mad stick throw, recovers with a tasty fill* this guy is seriously on fire!

I would love to see them in Germany!!

I saw Dennis Hamm playing with CAB at The Baked Potato last year (see "CAB at the Baked Potato - March 2009" on RU-vid). He's sick!

Man @ 7:19 he sounds like billy cobham with that big roll. He's a freak of nature behind the kit

nice ronald bruner is a beast

Wow that one dude knows how to play a bass! Oh and Ronalds pretty good too lol

that roll he did at 9:13...... just.....DAMN

Gtuiarist is straight CHILLIN!!

I have never seen any other drummer go ape shit like ronald did at the end of this clip....unreal!

brilliant

Tony Grey-Chasing Shadows-shares drumming with chris dave-probs best album in along time Scott Kinsey-Kinesthetics-Plays on shinjuku George Duke-Dukey Treats Michael Landau Live-Worried life blues, Johnny Swing.

a lot of ron's chops being beat on has a lot to do with the whole chris dave/J-dilla/timbaland thing. his mom mentioned that he, for a while, was learning programmed beats(and she worried about his playing). as a matter of fact in the interview that this clip comes from his dad mentioned it.

The drummer is sick..That set is very unique..i wonder who made it..

Spot on. The only guy who can match Ron physically is Tony Royster jr, who's also a freak of nature. Ron can play anyway that he wants. Stanley Clarkes " Toys Of Men" is almost all in the pocket. However if he wants to be flamboyant and let it all hang out, he can do things physically that even the great drummers out there can't touch. His chops being beat on is odd to me. These videos are about going off. The style part is just a matter of taste. If he's not the best, he's top 5. Enjoy

Drummer is awesome

im diggin the sexy ass 2nd snare he is usin

Looks like charles artura on guitar.

Now that's a drum solo....done

Have you checked out Gentle Hearts? Dennis Chambers plays on that one and it's SIIICK

tony royster would be the dennis chambers. ronald's the billy cobham

@winnerbaby44 Glad you do...Might want to patten it tho...

@Trying2Rip no, more like billy cobham. dennis had his limitations. rons got a lotta ish 2gether. theres really nothing he can't do. when dennis hit the scene, in a lotta ways billy was still the dude everyone looked up to. when ron hit the scene he literally pushed the boundrys of human abilities just as billy(and buddy before him) did. but i do agree ron is (and will be for a long time)that dude.

@OoGeostigmaoO cuz he's a beast and, this was for drum channel

I think he meant it as a compliment

@fusion07mp3 .merci beaucoup

@Moog167 he is very good.very

why does it feel like iv heard this song before in a movie or TV show or somthing 6:32

@Trying2Rip ronald and chris dave.

How it is defined this genre of music?

him, dis in 5/4? sounds greattt

That music at 6:15 is from Jill Scott song Real thing

charles altura on guitar

id love to see bhim and tony royster jam it out soon!!!!

is that charles altura?

@fusion07mp3 Um evidently you cant read..because Mr.Music Dictionary just said that in the last comment soo I dont need to be corrected AGAIN.I got nit,now you get it!.......Now take time and read what "winnerbaby44" wrote..

you can tell there's some dave weckl and dennis chambers influence in there

Wtf what do u mean not available in the US

@202drummerboy I think he turns 29 this year

who is the guitarist? please.

waoooo !!! des ET

Well... this is his showcase tune, where he take his solo, if he doesn't overplay this one then when???

Who is on guitar?? awesome!!

Isn't that Dennis Hamm on keys?

No Eric, no Tony, no Aron, no one can match Ron, if you're studying that guy you'll understand it pretty quick :-D he is soo faaaaaaar away from all of those guys I mentioned before. Man, Ron is unbelievable

what is the name of the first song?

the whole band is killin, who is the guitarist?

FUUUSIONNNN !!!!!!

5 vocalists or what?)

@anicet666 jamie oliver :)

Is this on iTunes?

looks like a tama starclassic bubinga, but im not sure. its definitely tama though...

how old is he?

This dude is a freak!

This dude is an absolute beast!! The shameful part?? Millions of misguided kids think that Travis Barker is the best drummer on earth...millions of hit reflect it. This dude could outplay Travis with one arm tied behind his back!

IS THAT BROCKETT PARSON ON KEYS!!!!

That is Billy Cobham reincarnated!!!

Dennis Hamm on keys

When you make a bass sound like Mickey Mouse I don't care how well you can play

OOMF

@drummaboi281 he dropped his pocket lol
