Tony Royster Jr. crazy metronome practice with the TD-30.

[Music] I want to go and knock on this door right here and see this lady will come out and count for me what I do she's dead what what all right so let me get this time she's on it she's ready she's not playing any games okay so I'm gonna start off and for for right so of course for for is the most basic time signature you can play in and how many people know how do you know if you're in like directly on the time if you're with the clay how would you know that's perfect now there are some drummers who get so good at that that they don't know anything else but to play directly on time and as soon as they like go in front of the beat a little bit or go behind you beat they feel like they're like extremely rushing or dragging whatever the case may be and sometimes that's what the music requires it's for you to be a little bit more loose with their playing and in front of the beat if it's a funk or you know that what happened so the great thing is to start off playing directly with the with the click you know develop a good n dimensional then you begin to play with the time playing ahead of the beat behind the beat like you say and just flipping it all different type of ways and still trying to keep the time like I said she's not going anywhere so if you ever get lost to stop and then you start over again and then I'm gonna switch the time signature to like thirteen sixteen or something that and let's see what happens if I get lost don't laugh okay we're all here together try my best but it's just a way to show how you can push yourself to get better cool all right that's what's up one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three-four one-two-three [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause]

As Jay-Z's drummer, he has to water down a lot of his beats to not steal the limelight, but in this video, his fills get a bit more intense and get Jay-Z to miss his entrance.

Holy crap I feel old. I watched this video what seems like yesterday. Apparently it was 9 years ago...

In case youre not a drummer (join us at /r/drums) Tony is Jay Z's drummer. Jay Z is so lucky to be Tony's rapper. He is, as they say, sick but he can keep his shit on lock. Cases in point:

took me years just to learn how to sing while I strum a guitar.. madness i say.

Watching someone play drums is oddly mesmerizing. I play guitar myself, but I still enjoy videos like this over someone noodling away on guitar.

You know. You can hear the ideas in a guitar solo, or a piano solo if you listen intently. You hear where the phrase starts, ends, gets embellished or improvised upon. I'm a drummer and for the life of me can't follow many drum solos. It takes a sincere bit of focus to track that thing all the way through. This, this? I just give up.
