His playing demonstrates maturity. I'm not here to judge, I would be missing the point of being a musician if so. I doubt however that you could watch this video and not be inspired in some way. He is one of the reasons I, myself still play drums and believe in the freedom of expression. Technical skills like his phrasing and flam taps are incredible but the whole point is not to judge but to listen and let it take you! Go Ronald!

Heart and imagination is over the top. A true genius of invention. he really is the next Tony...a name held dearly in out history... God's speed in your career///

The best I've seen. He has it all: Flow, musicality, chops, speed and power.

Ronald, you are amazing, I met you together with Tony,and Thomas,you were just kids. Love what you are doing. Walfredo sr

Every rudimentary shot in the book is here. Creative. Simple. Complex. So good; well timed; well developed, talented, detailed. Full range of rolls and the broadest band of beats rarely heard.

so much for all the drummers i thought were the best in the world. Ronald exceeds all ive ever seen and heard. INCREDIBLE, AMAZING.

To all the haters, you hear the crowd? That is his reward for playing his 'shit' solo. If the crowd loves it, it's a success for the night. Music moved the crowd so your argument is invalid

Frist video that I've seen from this guy and he's already one of my favourite drummers

Unlike most young players these days who can play with fiery rudimentary skills yet overplay, did I say overplay where you can’t tell one play from another all sounding the same .. however Ronald Bruner jr is the exception. He is what a drummer is supposed to be and does what a drummer is supposed to do! He is musical, expressive and never overplays. He only unleashes when asked .. incredible young player! Very inspiring!

This has to be one of the best solos I've ever seen. I've dismissed this guy in the past as just another gospel drummer w blazing chops but his playings pretty deep. Always coming from the groove..I hear alot of vinnie in here

8:12 holy hell look at the front of that bass drum head. looks like the beating heart of a giant ready to explode.

one of the best snares ive ever heard!

Who ever gave this video a thumbs down DOESN"T APPRECIATE DRUMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet when he closes his eyes, he’s just reminiscing of the old times he and his brother jamming when learning there craft. Two great accomplished musicians

So much Billy, Tony, Dennis and Vinnie in this kid.

One of my favorite drummers he is a gift from God

I've never heard any greater and precise ghost notes than from Ronald Bruner jr., seriously!

Impossible lightness of playing!You must love this guy..

Billy Cobham is my favorite drummer. And Ronald (which have my name...) has a very influenced sound here. But he has some of hip hop, reagge and modern music, I think he is not a empty copy. Congratulations, man!

Not that Marcus hasn't had talented drummers...just never let them cut loose like this!

Aside from the fact that Ronald is a monster, those are some sick hats.

His musical sense is amazing.

That snare sounds sooo nice!

Simply amazing.. one of my fave drummers, god blessed with great chops.

The only word that comes to mind is "ridiculous!". Dude...he displays so many technical skills he's obviously mastered it's insane! OMG...

My dude it a monster now. I sure do miss those days back in HS. LOVE YOU BRO.

Excellent control! What a great drummer....so much feel!

Man, what a solo. Loving it!

For 47 years I lived under the impression that I knew pretty much all the great drummers in the world. But obviously I missed a vital part of "the world": the one including Ronald Bruner. That was awesome!!!!!! Big "thumbs up" from Breda (Holland)!

this guy just push the boarders farther. sometimes you must ask yourself, if he is even a human beeing :) icredible!!

I bet you you have never met him in person. He's super down to earth he just has a thing called a sense of humor. I had a chance to sit in with him in a shed in Inglewood,CA one of the nicest guys I've met.

This is my 1st time watching him play and I MORE than highly impressed!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

Saw him auditioning live in an open rehersal for Prince last night! Dude is a BEAST!!

Great!!! Lot of feeling.THAAAT's what music is all about.FEELING !!!! Great job

Explosive drumming! So much passion and expression! Blast beat drummers have to watch this

My family!!!! Hey Ronald!!!❤🖤💚

This is one of the most jaw dropping performances Ive seen by him...he digs in the drums so hard and fast

5:37 wow that transition though

Absolutely bloody amazing!

cant get enough of this

So... we're just gonna not lie like my face was stuck in funk this whole video. I NEED to see this live.

Great Job! Sounds fantastic, and he enjoy's it.

This is all you dream of as a drummer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

what separates Ronald, Tony r, Thomas p, and Chris Coleman from everyone else is the power and intensity that they are able to do their single stroke rolls

Can't stop watching this video mad nice

amazing drummer. amazing solo. damn.. i need a snare that sounds like that. dope.

Man is a genius. Of all the gospel style drummers today this man is the most tasteful. Lovely player.

Beast

Awesome clip.. and its not just his drumming.. his musicianship that blends so well with top musos like Stanley Clarke, George Duke, & Marcus Miller!

Fantastic !!!

Plays with passion!

The beat within will never delay...

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Remember seing Ronald with Stanley Clarke live in Seattle in 2009. The most powerful roll strokes I've ever heard!

Yeah ! Baby ! Syncopation Man Para diddles DE Luxe ! Straight up !

Fantastic solo & arrangement.

Sick!!!! Good energy

John Bonham would've love those hats

Awesome!

Beast!

I always think that. Its always frantic and so dynamic

The beauty of drumming is there is no right or wrong. Its all about your creativity. I think this guy is amazing and he was hand picked by Stanley Clarke for his trio. He's amazing in that as well, you should check it out.

awesome solo Ron !

GREAT!!!!

Outta Control!!! Wow amazing I can see BILLY Cobham in his playing

Added to my playlist.

Ronald Bruner Jr. es el más rápido y mejor baterista de jazz del mundo que yo haya visto y oído hasta ahora.

Just another pretty superhero!

So stylish, and one of the fastest I've ever heard.

Epic !!!
