Hey! Check out my REACTION PLAYLIST...
czcams.com/play/PLqspKksRqaUURy8K34sBSKvuGo3ApmLC2.html
Tony was amazing at this age....Check out this 13yr old by the name of Dominic Mcnabb from South Africa. I PROMISE YOU! The kids these days aren't from planet earth.
That groove he settles into at 8:17 is just one of my favorite grooves ever. Sooooo good.
Agreed..... I keep coming back to it every now and then
it's special
His dynamics is far and away the craziest thing for me in this vid, to have that much maturity and control at such a young age is unbelievable
It's crazy!
Stole the words right out of my mouth. He is absolutely incredible.
"What were you doing at 12"...that had me laughing out loud
HAHA. I was dancing around like Vanilla Ice
I was teaching myself guitar. At 12 I was playing Flight of Icarus and Crazy Train and a bunch of Judas Priest from Hell Bent for Leather and British Steel. I wasn't good, but I was working on it.
I first saw this over 15 years ago when I worked at a radio station, and I emailed Tony, letting him know how impressive this was. And he emailed me back. What an absolutely mind blowing performance. Great job on the reaction. Love your channel.
Forget the age....that's one of the best performances I have ever seen!
Saw this live at the festival. As a drummer, talk about a humbling experience.
Yup I bet Sebastian!
Funny thing is.. back when I was 12, I was actually watching this video 😊 One of the reasons I started playing myself.
That's awesome!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Personally, I saw this when I was 14, and it completely demotivated me to do anything useful for the next 10+ years.
WIth that said, I NEED TO SEE THAT NIRVANA COVER! Like seriously, dude - you dont tell about it, and then Not Show it!
Oh yes. I’ve seen this. I can’t wait to see your reaction. That groove he hits in the middle is just sick. He’s a natural AND he’s put in a ton of practice by this time.
Crazy town!!!
This has been my favorite solo to watch since I first saw it in 2005! It never gets old
I have seen it so many times now and always... Always splashes groove kills me
I remember watching this video in the early days of CZcams, it has always been one of my favorite drum videos to watch. Tony is amazing and this video is easily one of the best youth drum performances I have ever seen.
Hey guys! As a way to prioritize the amount of reaction requests I'm getting via email/instagram and in the CZcams comments...
I am going to try and do the Patreon picks first. There is no limit on the Patreon (could be $1/month).

I still love you if you are NOT a Patreon contributor. And I will still try and get to your pick. It's a just a reward for those that help out with costs/time involved with doing the vids.
Disclaimer: No guarantees. I can only do what I can do. If a vid is blocked... it's blocked. I'll do my best!
Note: Patrons also get exclusive access to the vids that get blocked :)
Thanks for watching!
Im a guitarist and had no idea about Dennis Chambers. Mind blown 🤯 Thanks Andrew!
That groove is insane, I've watched this so many times. Makes me do the stinky face every time. :)
Crazy Johannes!
Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hey, my pleasure. All the best from Sweden!
This kid was doing at 9 what I can't do at 50. A true prodigy and was smart enough to continue his growth into the monster he is today. He doesn things I thought physically impossible. I can only admire and marvel at this unique talent.
Cheers From Canada. When a student brought this video into a lesson, My jaw dropped, and I wanted to quit. But, because of this video it pushed me harder than I had ever pushed myself to be. Now I can do a lot of really cool things like tony.. Just redicuous how mature his playing was, his dynamics while using the double pedal kills me, I try to be quiet on them but it's hard to do..
And he learned all this in 9 years. Insane
Jeeeeesh... Tony is Amazing! I definitely didn't expect to hear Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit as Tony's song choice.. These young souls u have Reacted to here on the channel, are Absolutely Mind-blowing..
Monster player
I figured the song would be Mustang Sally because we all know how much EVERY musician loves to play that one.
The famous groove is go-go
Holy crap that's good.
i was drumming before 12 but at tha time i didn't even have a drumset as good as he had until i was 16
My first drum set was held together by shoelaces
@@AndrewRooneyDrums oof i thought my CB drumset i started off with was horrible before i got a Pearl Session Custom SMX but wow, thanks for making me feel better about my 1st official drumset i got when i was 6 ouch
The drummer for Nirvana Dave Grohl admitted( In particular, the big opening drum fill of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is nearly a direct lift from drum opening the Gap Band's song "Burn Rubber.)
So that makes sense he would choose that song to crush..Tony is a beast!!
I want tony,Dylan Elise and Marco minneminn jam together for about n hr.. now that would be phenomenal...
Hey Steven! Have you heard my interview with Dylan?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums i don't think I came across them was it at namm by chance
Mostruoso Tony!!!!! Eccezionale!!!
You gotta check out Blake Richardson from Between the Buried and Me. Songs I would recommend: "Extremophile Elite (live)" and "Ants of the Sky"
loved the moment with the pause and hard thought to what the hip hop groove might have referenced, it made me do the same!
Obligatory random request, how about LEPROUS - Mirage (drum playthrough by Baard Kolstad)?
I was playing drums at age 12. Like beginning on a snare drum. Meanwhile.... LOL
But I guess when you have Dennis Chambers as a direct influence and instructor and natural talent, you're bound for greatness. I remember seeing this for the first time years back, and I knew I was about to get my face blown clean off when he steps right out in front of the kit to engage the audience and dedicates this solo to Tony Williams. 😂
🙌
You need to check out the 10 year old drummer Yoyoka Soma. She has Led Zeppelin covers, a cover of Rosanna, and just yesterday she did Rush's YYZ. A lot of talent at such a young age.
Sounds awesome Daniel
@@AndrewRooneyDrums An interviewer showed Robert Plant one of Yoyoka's Zeppelin videos and he liked it a lot. Definitely a fun watch. She's got a lot of talent, but Tony was in alien spaceship territory in this video!
At 12 I was eating paste and not much more.
By 12, I had never even hit a drum Joe
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I am looking for a good set for my daughter. She is 5. I will for sure get some beats in then. My daughter shows that she is highly ambidextrous, writing, drawing and even throwing balls with either hand, in the case of throwing she can throw two at once on target and with the same power. Gotta get em young.
You ought to do a reaction to Crown if Mine- Acacia Ridge. They’re a metal band, but their drummer uses a lot of jazz techniques. Really cool stuff.
Thanks for the tip Connor!
Go-go rythms at 8.17!🙂
Kid is awesome!
Yes he is James!
imagine being that good!
I can't.... lol
I wonder how many time signature changes there were?
I know 12 yr olds that still believe in Santa lol
When u have mentor in life,ewerything is possible
I agree Marko. It's a massive factor!
You only get mentored by one of the greats if you have prodigy level skills at a young age. So if you don't have it from the beginning you won't get mentored by any of the greats. So the whole it helps comment I don't agree with. One of the greats saw a future legend already in the making so he simply invested his time. If that kid was just average there would've been no mentoring plan and simple, that's the real realty about it!
I do agree on a basic level learning from someone better than you or is more experienced helps practically. Tony was no average young drummer though, so of course he got noticed and mentored by one of the greats!
RUN DMC ring the bells
Thanks Jamison!

At 12, I was playing snare in a drum and bugle corps, but I don't remember sounding like that. No, I cant say I sounded like that. I could play a mean paradiddle tho. Does that count?
Madness isn't it!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums It's like he packs a box, tapes it shut, gift wraps it, puts a bow on the top and sends it down the line all in a split second. Yes it's madness!!!
I will wait to subscribe until you release the Smells Like Teen Spirit video...
Fuck! I'm 43.... I could never do this.....
Are you the guy that Survived 29 hours out at Sea From 60 Minutes?
Yes Steve. That's right
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Wow, That's Such an Incredible Story. I felt The same thing as Your Friends, Sheer Elation when you were Spotted. Tony is A Monster. I thought his video was gonna be just some Kid. Almost 20 Years later It's possibly still my Favorite Solo. Cheers From Florida
I guess you know you've made it when you drum for a rapper 🤣
Hoe things about Juna DRUMER ,,,, Roister is the best drumer out there this kid before was a un Human oufff
😢😃👏👏👏👏👏
Dawg thats a basic hip-hop beat something you learn year one in gospel drumming
C A N D I R I A
That's gogo bruh, and not a famous hip-hop beat.
He'll never amount to anything.
Eloy is better
The comment may be old, but the sense of humor is timeless. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Eloy is completely destroyed by this boy at any age.
Haven't seen this in years but it's awesome every time. I thought about that song reference too. In my head I'm thinking Bel Biv Devoe - Poison. Check if I'm right.
OOOOOH Nice!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums since Dennis is from Baltimore, MD it also has a bit of DC GoGo music feel; although a little faster. Guess he got Tony on to that.
