At: Guitar Center Workshop - Tony Royster Jr. 'Going In'

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.
