At: Guitar Center Workshop - Tony Royster Jr. 'Musical Virtues'

Winning Guitar Center's Drum Off Grand Finals at an astonishing age of 11, Tony Royster Jr., now 27, returned to Guitar Center's Hollywood Store for this insightful clinic. A virtuoso of many musical styles, Royster has preformed alongside some of the worlds top artist including Jay-Z, Joe Jonas, and #1 selling Japanese artist Hikaru Utada. Tony's mind blowing hand and foot speed, complimented by his controlled independence, come into easy view in this video recorded in September 2011. His instructional DVD's "Pure Energy" (2007), and The Evolution of Tony Royster (2009) are further examples of his journey to becoming a drum legend.

Fantabulistic drumming! Real inspiring even as a singer...Keep up the good work!

He says no one has to worry about having or wanting a huge or big kit, but thats easy for him to say beacause he has been playn on one since he was

Damn, brotha's looking diesel now day's...Love watching this kid play drums....period

[JoimaliJope]

that snare drum looks f'n huge!! comparing it to that tiny front tom (I think it is 6 or 8 inches). Amazing drummer!! It would be nice to see Tony and Chris Coleman in drum battle.

There's always that one dude who dislikes... This is good quality S***! That's the one guy who swears he's better, but sucks and wishes he had the skill...
