Tony Royster Jr and Mark Peric trade chops 

Ten years ago! Wow. I can remember choking on my drink in awe when T Roy dropped 777-9311 at 4:17 - I miss my hometown of Brisbane, they’ve really cultivated a reinvigorated sub culture of Jams. Big respect to Michael Casey aka 21hundred, the Godfather of Brisbane’s Jam scene.

The groove master .. These guy are so gifted, mad respect from Melbourne Musicians

The timing! and the chops!! My gosh! its all in there! nobody is missing the tempo at all! just great musicians!! SALUTE!

tony hit the drums more times in one minute then most rockers do in a full hour. it was great to see him sit in on someone else's small kit and play it like it was his. i wonder if he tuned it up first ? it sounded great.

His fills are so clean and precise! I love the snare! Perfect tuning for this jam. T roy is definitely 1 of my all time faves.

This is one of the best venues I seen young TONY play. What makes it special to me its a local place and Royster feels the Funk vibe of the crowd and his playing shows it.

That was absolutely incredible...

I really wish everyone would stop comparing everyone today. They all bring something different and unique to the table. Just enjoy them for who they are. Regardless of whose better at what, tony and weckl are both unreal drummers who have made their mark on the instrument with two awesome, very different approaches. Yet we'll always love hearing both of em.

It doesn't matter which Drumset Tony Royster Jr. plays on, he is always phenomenal! I think he is my new idol.

Who would of known Terrence from 106 and Park was a straight up beast on a drum kit man??You learn something new everyday.

Lost it when he went into "777-9311' groove lol! This guy is insane!!!!!!

4:47 OMG WHHHHHHHHHHHHAT. if i was in that crowd i would have just got naked right after that

2:13 rock with you !!

His singles are out of this world

Este maestro me inspira para tocar bateria!!

I don't think I've ever been as mad at anyone as I was at the person standing up at 6:05....LOL! Instant blood pressure spike! on a lighter note, God, I love the sound of hats......

Tony and Aaron best drummers in America!!!

so good.......would have loved to be there!!!!

I like how he broke into the 777-9311 groove

tony always kills it he a dope musician

completely agree. I dont think there is a single musician who enjoys being "stuck". most times I catch myself dividing my playing techniques between solo jams and group jams. Tony manages to combine both quite well when playing with a group.

Awesome! I respect Tony as a Drummer. He's the one of the completed musicians in my opinion.

Aussies are lucky to see this.

@ThePhanin every wednesday night in Brisbane. @ Alloneword Bar. 188 Brunswick st. Fortitude Valley. we've jammed with a lot big name cats down there. but this night was very special!

Tony is like, ok, let me just play you some groovy stuff like bam pa dam thss pa dam ... and then let me just go into my berserk mode!!! And the crowd is like, whaaaaaaat???

Tony is one of the biggest pocket player out there..and this is a free jam man...nothing more nothing less..it's just a free style session..on beat or off beat who gives a freaking shhh...I think tony just wanna have fun...and music is fun...you don't have to always discuss or analyze music...open your soul brothers..and create your time..on jam session we can go anywhere no boundaries..Just music with no click or time..be the artist and create your own time

To all the hatters saying Royster is only good on huge DW kits, well here ya go. Thats bassist was a beast too

Wtf??? Uau, great musicians having fun. That's what it is. They're having a jam with lots of give and take.

I'm just having an eargasm!!

i love that part!

Holy shit !! That bass drum was already running away from him! Lol he had to pull it back in .. What a beast !

Por isso sou fã desse cara....

SICK FOOT WORK!!!

Is that Leonard from Big Bang Theory on the keys?

@iplaykazoo1300 its simple in theory. Hes playing doubles between his right hand and the kick. Gives a great illusion of having a double kick. The speed and clarity he's playing it at is unreal.

3:47 African beat I play at my church. Amazing.

All i can say is one of the best , it's too subjective to say which one is "the best" , cuz they both got their advantage

This is great vibes.

No one on this planet can outchop Tony Royster. If you know someone else then by all means prove me wrong.

For me, it is not only a groove that there is a technique.

6:06 breaks my heart every time.

very nice.......so sick......

5:02 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW STILL HAS ME SMILING!!!

4:18 he started playing Morris Day's "777-9311". Look it up if you dont believe me. Its one of my Favs!

Awesome one,, Dope!

Do you listen to fusion music? We all know it's not about the chops but having a good variety of chops helps. In Tony's instance which is really what we were talking about here, He has played for alot of musicans in a number of different genres so I think he knows what works in his style of drumming. With that aside this vid was about him showing is musical talent to those who may not know of him. Hence the term 'Trading Chops.'

I always thought during this performance Tony was behind the 4 count...and the band picked it up. That's a good band to not get lost when drummers switch count. because was behind the 4 and on top of it at times coming out of his solos...

I don't know if anyone noticed but Tony busted a badass Tupac beat, one of my favorites, "Whatz Yo Phone #" around 4:17. Check it out. OH and that was a badass jam sess too.

que buen video.... toda una masterclass woaow!!!!!!!

That bass player got them nasty licks ! #REALTALK

it's funny cause he plays so good

wow!!!!!!!!! speechless

He is simply at his best. 3:00 was awsoome

tony royster is relentless..sheesh

tamadrummer5 I can tell you must be a rock drummer, with this stye of music he's allowed to do be free as long as that groove is still there. He is also trading solos with the bass player therefore he doesn't have to hold back, he is having a conversation now.

damn, freak of nature !

never repeated the same lick twice....Go tony!

2:12 dat michael jackson intro - look up rock with you

tony is a beast

Dis was great

To say tony doesn't groove with his solos especially when there is a band with him is a MAJOR misconstrued observation of his rhythm and technical prowess combined its because he can groove so technically speaking why people marvel at the most... well i know i do...

they are truly sons of God..they're amazing!!

Bruh!!! No I didn't know that!! But now I do!!! thanks guy

hands and foot. insane.

THE GROOVE

This is COOL !

no one will hate or dislike this amazing video ^_^

The idol...!

SICKNESS!!!!!

0:39 so great groove!

I'm happy : )

Super!!!! Amazing!!!!!

man too sick.

THIS IS SOO GOOD!! insane inspiration i love it haha great chops

HAND SPEED IS CRAZY

tony jus murdered that 4 piece drumset

Dude is insane

4.17 wicked groove

What'd you do win a "Have Tony Play in your band for a night " contest? That's what iy looked like!!

that was killing

@divadrum man I geeked the fuck out when he slipped that in there that night. I nearly choked on the ice in my drink!

@MrSethGodSOURCE It's exactly what the title says. They're trading chops.

esse e o kra eu vou tocar com ele um dia

awesome!

Like that groove @ 5:50 in the solo there

you dont appreciate music if you disliked this. that is all.

ARE YOU INSANE TONY ROYSTERRR ?????

Guy thats not a freehand roll, or a gravity blast (which is a freehand role used ina blast beat) he's doing that thing where he like dribbles the stick with the other

Dude!!!!

tony's still the best

that's just mad!

25 secs footwork amazizg..

@alaniz1981 LOLOLOL Dude he has a pocket.... He was grooving and gave the bassist room when he soloed AND he came in on the 1 EACH time!

If you understand time signatures, yes he's definitely stickin to the groove. However, I'm a firm believer of "less is more."

Are you kidding? He is in pocket in most of his fills unless he choses to be behind or infront of the beat. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. :)

playing on a St. Louis Rams drum Kit !!!!

that one foot is faster then my two feet lol nice one

200k likes at a small bar.. Amazing!

Yeah for real. :)

in-FREAKIN-credible!!!
