This level of talent is insane! it's actually unbelievable without actually seeing and hearing it. Absolutely love this guy.
One of the best drums solos I have heard...this is definitely in my top 5 of all time.
drummerchamp same!!
What do you think of these drum solos in the 1st songs off of each these instructional drum performance videos:
czcams.com/video/eTlbcoaSGWk/video.html ...and... czcams.com/video/kZhY1Y1y-NU/video.html
something is special about him. it's advanced but so pleasing. never too quirky to have fun with it. and his attack is just so crisp and satisfying.
I watch this solo every single day for about 1 year and I'm not, even a little bit, tired of it. It's amazing how every time I watch it I learn something new
Glad you like it that much!
When he hit that upstroke on the crash at 0:09 I knew this was gonna be something.
WTF!?!
That was brilliant... so many influences in one drummer... absolutely stunning!
What you see here is a perfect mix of dedication, persistence and god-knows-how-many hours of practice, brilliant solo. Keep up the good work.
Exactly.
Seen and heard most of the greatest drummers to come onto the scene in the last 40 years. This Ronald fella...is beyond words.
i definitely hear a Chambers influence but he still maintains his own feel.Badass.
a mix of Billy Cobham, Will Kennedy and Dennis Chamber. Ronald Bruner. what a dude!
Steve Gadd too
That goddamn groove towards the middle to the end where he's playing his LEFT foot on the 1, so he can get a Kick AND a Hi-Hat on the 1 but still keep the other foot rocking, I have thought about it, never have seen it done before, this guy is an innovator
Dennis Chambers did this in the 90’s
Virgil Donati took it into a whole another level.
@@maqirama definitely, both drummers are good in their own way of playing.
TAMA is that company and this dude reps it so well. Cant stop watching!!
My father recently began playing drums again after a 40-year break, and he went shopping for some new sticks the other day. He bought about 5 pairs. One of them caught my eye. They caught my eye because they’re fluorescent orange! He bought a pair of Ronald Bruner Jr. signature Zildjian sticks. I gotta say, my dad knows what a good stick feels like even after 40 years without playing. I love Bruner’s sticks. They’re kinda small but they have some weight to em. They just feel all kinda good. And my dad’s five stroke rolls in the Sousa marches sound almost as good as mine.
It's like, if a drummer was a super hero, this is the guy.
wuahaha he wipes his sweat off with a Meinl towel... LOL the humor of this guy is always on point. hero
Swear to god I don't think anyone got that xD
You three drummers that I listen to they were great. and I surely wished you all could play again so I will just listen to these what with what I have and I'm very thankful for whoever put the configuration of their drum set on they all look very nice but I'm sure they're pretty expensive.just want to thank all of you for displaying the skills that you have put in hours and hours of work perfecting your skills for the public to enjoy thank you very much
yep crap cymbals but Great Gongs !
Tama is sounding better than ever!!!
***** I'm falling in love with their drums
BEST DRUMS MONEY CAN BUY !!!! TAMA STAR !
OHRID59MK Could be...... I'd love to have a Tama kit, but I wonder if my Sonor's would be jealous?
I can only say that when his kit looks at him before playing they think "oh shit here we go again!" Best drummer ive ever seen.
Full on - Stunning solo - reminiscent of Gergo Borlai in respect of creativity & musicality - exceptional !!!!!!!!
What if I told you Gergo and Bruner have pretty much the same or similar influences? :)
+Moog168That is very interesting - I think that both Gergo Borlai & Ronald Bruner Jr are "genius" level Drummer/ Musicians.Thanks for the info
+Frank McMullan there also good friends lol
Good God they just keep raising the bar..This is so crazy good
Love when he goes to the Aux snare with the fatback sound/grooves!
#BestDrumSolo ..... ron takes you on a journey and its lovely
Phenomenal performance and those Tama Star's sound fantastic!
DUDE,S SETTING NEW STANDARDS
One of my favorite drummers!!!!
Nice playing and composition. I've seen some of his solos where he is just going off constantly, he is a great player when more composed.
I like how he starts tuning the snare around 5:54
Some of the players out there these are absolutely face-melting. I have no face. Melted by music. And soul.
Incredible playing - stretch for that ride bell! ;).
Billy Cobham and Dennis Chambers had a baby and his name is Ronald.
Or Ron Bruner Sr. Playing for folks like Diana Ross and being friends with Will Kennedy and Marvin Smitty Smith and having them becoming Uncle figures to Ronald hehehhe
+Moog168 I get your point, and a valid one at that. My ears just hear a mesh of those two, will Kenedy and Marvin are both amazing tho.
Spot on.... Add Tony Williams Too
I heard a little bit of Gadd at the end
How about Tony Williams?
Represent chief, I heard, Buddy, Krupa, Cobham, Chambers, Sugarfoot, Joe Joe, Max, Tony, Stubberfield, Bonam, Carter, DeJohnette, Appice Gadd, Jones, Pudie, Blaine and then some.
Cool that he did a mini Dennis Chambers salute with the double bass going while on "break".
Holy shit that's a great sounding kit.. with a hell of a drummer of course lol
I think Ronald is the best drummer alive right now.
I was there...It's an amazing performance :)
Death Metal Jazz Drummer
Just incredible talented!!!
When he plays his foot ostinato @1:55, I like saying "Tuh!" on every instance where he strokes both the kick drum and hi-hat pedals at the same time. I just like how it sounds to me.
This guy is out of this world
this guy out Cobham's Cobham!! One of today's great young drummers!
+stretchcity Cobham, Chambers, Tony Williams all in one!
+stretchcity Not Cobham during the early-mid 70's.
+Oneness100 Yeah, those guys, and Lenny White too, during the late '70s- incredible!
He outdoes even that Cobham. This is a whole new level.
caferrara Then how come most of the top drummers idolize Cobham for his contribution to drumming than this guy? Most of the stuff this guy is playing isn't just drumming masturbation.
Amazing
The broken stick did it for me lol speed accuracy feel chops sensitivity and taste best described in that performance
He must have watched Mahavishnu videos from Montreux many many times...;-) Well, I´ve been there and saw/heard B. Cobham three times with Mahavishnu and once as solo artist. Today is the first time for me to hear a drummer with a comparable power, energy and ferocity. He may be a little bit sloppy sometimes and have a little dropout on the rims but he then goes really wild and beats - quasi as a revenge - the shit out of his fabulous sounding Tama kit. Hard hitting drummer style at its best!
I don't know if "sloppy" is the right term to use, I saw a lot of drummers live and Ronald has the complete control of the sticks (like unreal), so it's pretty much impossible for him to be sloppy; if he sounds so somtimes, he totally wanted to do what you hear. Anyway for the rest I totally agree with you.
True Freak of Nature 🔥🙏🏾🤦🏾♂️
he is the continuation of Dennis Chambers... even if the master's still alive!
you're right...Totally taking Dennis' style farther...
Dennis Chamber Hybrid
@@Theworkingclassdrummer nothing like Dennis Chambers
Chriiiiist ... 1.30 !!!!!!!!!!!!! astounding
Certainly inspirational in his own right. I definitely can hear some Billy Cobham in there as well. I could name a few others too, although I don’t want to discredit his own talent or undermine his amazing creativity
Old School Mac. Nice!
il est formidable Donald bruner
Muito monstro pegaaaa toop lembre-se bateras unidos jamais serão vencidos 👍🎶
Outstanding solo
Class.
Dammit if yama doesnt make the finest drums! Just got mine! Bb in ocean ripple. Wow
This guy can only be the son of Billy Cobham ...... very fera .... let's go to that ai ... I'm in the translator ... to honor this beast ... a hug from the gaucho ... BRAZIL. ... !!!!
1:20 - RBJ is the only drummer I've ever seen do that cymbal choke with stick. Creative badass. 🔥
Love TAMA
VERY impressive!!! Damn!!!
If y’all don’t know Ronald is Thundercats brother
He's cruel man, cruel! Such an awesome attack!
INTENSIVA RUTINA. GOOD
Yessssss
Sweet!!!!
My name is Ron
awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Did yall know this is Thundercat's (bass player) brother?
+Harry D. Whuaat? That's crazy!
The Bruner brothers 😝
Yeah Ronald is the older brother, Stephen is the middle child and Jameel (on the road with "The Internet" is the youngest and one heck of a Keyboardist
+Moog168 i grew up with them lol
+dudleypunch101 what were they like as kids?
What's the cymbal set up?
Sadly enough, the only thing I have in common with this guy is the same bass drum mic... he's so super while I'm so freakin' average...
is there anything he can't do? that doesn't come out right...
Either I am wrong, or that is a very very old Mac
...looks like a powerbook
TheCool2142 this the dude sticks i have
Breaks a stick in half and switched that shit out and carried on to finish the last few seconds of the performance like it was nothing
Wow, how good do those drums sound?! I guess that's why they cost €€£££$$$$
Such a wonderful drummer too, can't figure out what those stickings are for the life of me... Best stick to what I know...
RLRRLRLL.... ;)
How is this finish called please?? Beautiful kit!!!
Great stuff. What kind of hats and ride are those?
tdrum21 the hats are zildjian k's and I think that ride is his prototype model
Mostruoso ciao..Vanni.
e um monstro na bateria
I remember when I used to not like this guy I must have been crazy!
Thundercats brother is off the chain.
so I have a question. Is he playing the hi hat and the left beater with his left foot? For some reason, im not able to tell.
Yes, left foot gracing both pedals. Another guy that loves this technique (and does some incredibly textured patterns with it) is Marco Minnemann.
That drum is tuned like a formula one car. Holy shit that dude is good
I've been outa the scene for a bit. What's this new fandangled contraption that allows you to play double bass and high-hat with the foot simultaneously?
The contraption is called learning how to lead with your left foot instead of just your right. It's really cool, actually. :P
Cameron Alidor
Can you elaborate on that? The high hat is still operating with the left foot. Is this an alternating foot method? Dennis Chambers does it as well
Samsgarden Most consistent double bass patterns (i.e. straight eighth notes or sixteenths) are lead with the right foot (R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L). The cool way to do this is to lead with left foot instead (L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R) with one half of your left foot on your auxillary kick pedal and the other half on your hi hat pedal. Dennis Chambers did this quite often, and it's something I use a lot with my band. Leading with the left foot on double bass allows for a lot of patterns to possibly include a hi hat ostinato in addition to the double bass pattern.
Shameless plug alert: if you want a good example of this from me, check out my band Battling Delirium's new EP "Blue" with the track called "The Fall of Amaliel". In the beginning of the song, you'll hear integration of double bass and hi hat before the verse vocals start. The EP stream is on www.battlingdelirium.bandcamp.com.
Thank you for the reply. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. :)
Not sure about new but as long as your HH and left bass pedal are close enough to each other, put your foot in the middle of them both so you play the 2 together.
gusbandicoot ^this. Thats how its done. Plain and simple.
Just blizzard man
8:15
Yeah, this guy is pretty decent.
Fast as a shark
Steve gadd impersonation at the end
I live for 7:55 - Ronald is World #1 at drumming.
This cat reminds me of Dennis Chambers
If that is true you do k own Dennis Chambers
Embodies Roy Haynes.
All those supremacist should see this guy. Perhaps they will feell different after that
Off the Scale.......
When did he leave Sabian and go with Zildjian?
you know the solo gon be fire if a mofo be sweating thru and thru
Snare drum is too shiny that makes me hard to watch
Dude smokes tony royster..
Flying Mammoon Tony is pretty much " Unsmokable"
Yeah, Tony was doing crazy shit at 13! Wouldn’t put him above that and definitely wouldn’t say smoked, just my opinion as well as your opinion.
Speed what other style?
snare is too tight-sounds like plastic.. other than that, some fine drumming, very fine.
AND PEOPLE TALK ABOUT JO JO MAYERS GREAT CMON PLEASE.
Nukkah this ain't wakanda
Then there's Simon Phillips and Steve Smith. Why is this guy even here?
Tony Royster Jr. is a superior player.
BOOOOORINGGGGG !!!!!
