@Heylee1219 Hey my bad...i was about to like your comment and accidentally unlinked it. totally agree with you. travis one of the most overrated drummers ever...especially compared to this monster here
his playing speaks for itself. i got to meet him and talk to him one on one he is a very nice person. he was in knoxville, tn and wanted to know about graceland so we had a smoke and i told him about graceland he autographed a pair of sticks for me. he let me hang out with him as he went through the store and he talked about equipment. i wanted to tell this story so his fans know he is worthy of your adoration and he is not a pretentious jerk.
That's got to be a great watch that is wearing to take all that high stickin'. This would make a good advertisment for the brand. The guy keeps getting better chops.
Whats with all this cobus bullsh*t? he drums along to kelly clarkson etc seriously....call yourselves drummers?...bet ya'll have lars ulrich in your top drummers...go listen to some dennis chambers or danny carey and hear real drumming....Fu*kin pussies
@catscratchfever666 Im sorry dude but there both incredible drummer, just different styles. yea Cobus does covers but his originals are really good to. Just respect them both as drummers and leave it there
@marcus9117 naw, Cobus and jojo are completely different, i think u say he's better because u like his drumming style more, this is very stereotype, i agree that cobus might sound better, his fills are crazy good and so r his covers, but can cobus do what jojo mayer can on a drumset?
@marcus9117 That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Any drummer can tell that this man and Cobus can't be compared. Cobus is a termite compared to this guy. Cobus is nothing compared to Jojo Mayer - that's a fact. This dude is so incredibly insane, only very few drummers out there can compete with this. And I'm talking worldwide. Jojo Mayer is definitely amongst the greatest drummers in the world; Cobus is a youtube-guy. See the difference?
to that double stroke roll at the beginning, to keeping a perfect beat with one stick in his mouth and well, the rest, its not fair. He gives buddy something to think about in his grave though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow... amazing. It's amazing that people actually praise this shit. What happened to praising things that are AMAZING instead of things that aren't out of the ordinary and doesn't show talent? This is basic crap that most kids that are considered decent is doing on a daily basis. Doesn't stand out at all.
Wow! I've been playing for over 40 years and seen many great drummers, but I agree with you guys. This dude is a freakin BEAST!!! He uses alot of Buddy Rich (the master) techniques and incorporates them to today's style. Awesome.
jojo is killer........in his own way ...as we jut saw.........but like superhardcoreguy said travis is a genius in his own right. both have very controlled hand and feet coordination and use em n diff style
I don't think he should be criticized at all. I just can't for the life of me understand why he is compared to the greats. He isn't a bad drummer, he is just no where in the league of guys like JoJo.
WTF??? its like comparing an apple to a keyboard. They are completly different. Both are amazing but in very different aspect of drumming. You are obviously not a drummer.
Traditional grip in some aspects is better for rock that matched because you can crossover easier. If you take time to learn trad grip it's a very good thing to learn to help in solos
bloody hell, he's incrdible. i'd ever heard of him until his name popped up in someone's comment of a Buddy Rich vid. Is he lke a studio drummer or does he have a band or wot?
the sad thing is that as cool as this is, its not even his best stuff. I can only think of two guys who have a left hand like him (ok, one, cuz the other guy is left handed so its his right) Steve Smith and Frank Belucci. But Jo Jo is my new drum obsession, I'm not entirely certain he's even human
Impressive, but I'd have joe morello any day over this - it's not just about how technically impressive the solo is - more importantly it's how it sounds
I agree. There are some incredibly gifted musicians that everything just falls into place and all the powers that be align (sort of like what he talks about in the new DVD!) ...everyone dreams to master their instrument or whatever it is the way Jojo has mastered what he does!
Punching the cymbal is tasteless? its passionate, what are you a corpse, the thing is a flurry of passion and that's just the final blow. What sense does the solo need to make - its a fucking insane technical demonstration. Don't want to sound cliched here but he probably has more talent in his little finger than you ever will.
Jojo's good, don't get me wrong, but a lot of his music is really uninspired. It honestly sounds like he just asked himself how he can be as fast and technical as possible, and totally excluded emotion. He's very talented, but misguided I think.
Puts the chain into place with his foot in the beginning. Then when it falls down durring his performance, he flawlessly puts it back into place without missing a beat. Jojo Mayer is the shit, people. :D
