Honestly, a lot of these comments are sad, but funny at the same time. Just goes to show that no matter how great you become, how much you dedicate your self to the craft, there will still be those that undermine your gift. These are two of the greatest drummers in the world, and of all time. If you play drums and you don't realize this, then your opinion is bias and irrelevant... Honestly
I hate these drum mixes but I absolutely LOVE their playing as always! I've been listening to these guys since 2006 and I always find myself learning so much just from hearing their phrasings. Awesome!
My take on it: I love both of these drummers. Technique wise, they're practically equal. I noticed Ronald was very tight, precise, and well thought out. Amazing phrasing, he's thought this through. On the other hand, you have Thomas, loose, laidback, and going on pure feel. I don't thomas "thinks" about his playing as much, he just does it. He's definitely put his hours in tho, that's why he's so good. He fucking shredded that shit (they both did) but whenever thomas would start playing I was instantly captivated. He was truly in the moment. Props. Thomas get's the win on this.
Thats the point ... Ronald is just about speeding it up, while Thomas keeps it down to earth and shining with some grooves. For me. Thomas wins this battel.
Lol. They act like this was a showdown. Thomas, Ronald, tony, Eric, David, Justin, etc knew each other for years. They all grew up around the same area so to judge these sheds like a comp would be foolish
You've missed the point of these things then. They're not put there for song context, it's "shedding" it's just a means of showing off and/or learning from other drums. It just happens to be this kind of setting where drummers don't have to worry about holding the beat or whatever, it's just trading licks and chops =) Watch them on their own or with their respective bands if you want their musical side though.
Everyone's gonna jump on the band wagon and go with Pridgen, just for the fact he's more popular. I gotta go with Ronald , for not only great playing but being a great teacher.
my interpretation: oh yeah? that was pretty good but... FLORGESHWAGLFLIKENHWAAA!!!!! - oh shit. well how about this? EIKINHIMNINCONPINIKLASHFNIL!!!!... - oh no. i must defeat him... the world rests on my shoulders... KAH MEH... HAM MEH.!.!.! - commercials... - HAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
@MrsStudivent Well I`m saying that his overall skills,not just technique, is something almost unseen he grooves he has it all,but I agree he plays sometimes just a little over the top
Sure one can like either one of them but when speaking strictly technically, if you're a serious drummer, you should know how much harder those licks Ronald did are.
Rudments are Senseless? When you do all the studying these guys do you know where to place them and split them between your limbs in a musical context. If you knew where it all came from all gospel chops is from Jazz/Fusion players that happened to study rudiments. These guys can groove and they know time so well that they can do all these tricks...when it comes to them playing music they will always know how much freedom they will have but to call rudiments senseless is well...Senseless.
Who ever is in charge of the cams needs to be fired quick! I am pisssss. How is Ron chopping for 20 seconds and the camera is on Thomas's foot while he is holding down the rhythm, then the camera on Ronald while Thomas is going ham on the drums! I mean if you think about it. We all just miss a whole bunch of chops from them cause the idiot who is controling the cams are not switching them quick enough.!!! They need to be fired fast!!
It doesn't take a long time to get to that high level of that they are playing if you spend time practising everyday for four or five hours a day the more you practise the better you get negative comments are from drummers who are lazy that don't enjoy practising

There haters will always have haters when it's black doing something great
...This is a win-win situation, hands down, literally.
Haha true, i had the "privilege" to explain people that these are truly extraordinary but some dont want to understand it haha
Chris Dave too
enough chops in this video to make sushi
Ronald Bruner Jr. Is one of my main Influences and One of my Idols. This dude got some of the sickest chops I ever heard. And he's crazy fast.
Both of these guys are top shelf! On their way to drum royalty! ❤
two legends not in a battle. But they are making music!
I hate these drum mixes but I absolutely LOVE their playing as always! I've been listening to these guys since 2006 and I always find myself learning so much just from hearing their phrasings. Awesome!
These guys are in the hyperbolic drum chamber realm, deep man

Thomas smoked 9 blunts before this.
thomas ate that ass up!!!!!!!
Jacob Cardec lmao so true
Jacob Cardec was this a competition you dumb ass?
This statement could be taken in a whole different context nowadays. Or any time period for that matter 😭😭😭
1:25 Ronalds like "whatever you can do, i can do better"
wish the volume levels of the two kits were equal.
Lol. They act like this was a showdown. Thomas, Ronald, tony, Eric, David, Justin, etc knew each other for years. They all grew up around the same area so to judge these sheds like a comp would be foolish
Holy shit is Ronald Bruner Jr. wearing a SHOCKMASTER TSHIRT?!?!?!?!
Omg I lobethe sportsmanship in this video. It's beautiful
Amazing!!! Two sacred monsters of rhythm!!!
Riccardo Musiu Thomas peidgen best
They are both world class drummers. They need to start writing material and put out there own Music like Narada, Lenny and Billy did

Love how the toms respond. Sounds awesome!!!!
Thomas your ride cymbal ist on the wrong side :D
This is more like a drum collaboration.
hahaha.. like two boys just having fun in the kindergarden :) awesome
Yeah, I think that's what people are missing here. They're just having fun and trying to push the limits at the same time.
Bruner is so agressive that even the drums move HAHA
New drums...new cymbals...new heads....you can guess the rest
*hears song

Not even a drum off. Just a magical jam session.

Rock Drummers have gone into hiding since 2009
Everyone's gonna jump on the band wagon and go with Pridgen, just for the fact he's more popular. I gotta go with Ronald , for not only great playing but being a great teacher.
I call sabotage by the sound guys
They both beastin BUT Ronald Bruner is just TOO QUICK.....
Yay, thats how my popcorn machine sounds..

my interpretation: oh yeah? that was pretty good but... FLORGESHWAGLFLIKENHWAAA!!!!! - oh shit. well how about this? EIKINHIMNINCONPINIKLASHFNIL!!!!... - oh no. i must defeat him... the world rests on my shoulders... KAH MEH... HAM MEH.!.!.! - commercials... - HAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
Inveja é o que define teu comentário
Opinion….Ronald Bruner Jr is cleaner, quicker, and more creative…..
este si es un duelo de titanes!!!
Childhood friends just having fun! Why the comparison?
@MrsStudivent Well I`m saying that his overall skills,not just technique, is something almost unseen he grooves he has it all,but I agree he plays sometimes just a little over the top
It’s a shed; this is not the place for light and polite.
They got hella chops
IS IT A DRIVE BY DRUM SHOOTING
it's a blizzard of chops
Bruner the rock, the man!! control, posture, speed, ambidexterity, with power to burn. ...shouldn't be many doubting Thomases out there either
In one vid thomas said he uses 19 in hi-hats ....
Where's my drums?
@kikme778 did your computer explode
Thomas Pridgen for the Win
Sure one can like either one of them but when speaking strictly technically, if you're a serious drummer, you should know how much harder those licks Ronald did are.
Even Ferraris have 1st and 2nd gears. . .
if yall notice everytime bruner whats going off the camra man cut to pridgen
thomas pridgen needs a bigger hi-hat! wtf?! :D

Drum battle with Thomas pridgen is just madness, Ronald Bruner is probably the only one who can do it. 😝
Two masters, bar none...
Ronald Bruner Jr.
DW vs TAMA :DD
I think Thomas Pridgen is a great player though.
Great to watch, hard to listen too.
Thomas "can't be fuckd with" Pridgen
3:18-3:35 HAND MERCY!!!!!
dear thomas, please cease this act of violence against drums!!
you've been warned!
PRIDGEN POWER!!!!!
would have been nice to have a nice groove set for few more measures in the beginning
Dope
Well said
