It takes a true prodigy to be boundless. Labels like precision, feel, and power are often contradictory, but all of them describe the icon that is Tony Royster Jr.
From winning drum competitions as a child to becoming the backbone of some of the world's largest artists, a lifetime of experience and experimentation has developed his signature sound.
