@AlexLococo ignorant comment is ignorant. the whole point of bozzio having that many drums is to create a melody. they are all tuned at diatonic and chromatic intervals. it's like a grand piano with a drumset costume on.
@pwnage51 I know that, but having an scalpel doesn't make you a surgeon. Same applies with music: having an instrumen doesn't make you a mucisian. Don't get me wrong, he plays excelent, shit is impossible to imitate, but he plays like a robot: almost no soul in his "music".
@AlexLococo dude have you seen Bozzio play when he is in what i like to call "piano mode"? the music is very soulful. and the scalpel analogy doesn't work in this context. if you have skill, experience and overall talent with an instrument or instruments, you are a musician. some musical pieces don't really call for that much soul. it all depends on the genre. when Terry was playing with Korn (i'm not sure if he still is or not) he didnt need soul because metal doesn't require that much soul.
@pwnage51 There I disagree: Korn is barely metal, and he actually did a great job. Now, as you said it, you're right, the analogy was wrong because I said he has skill. Now, on to the point. Bozzio do has soul, but only when playing along with music, but his drum solos are empty, there's just so many drums he seems he doesn't know what to do with them. I admire his ability to have different time signatures on each arm and leg, but that isn't enough for me to call it a succesful solo.
An extremely comprehensive DVD. There is enough on here to keep you going and being inspired for years - and that is just to get each idea into your head and at some point incorporated into your practice regime. To master any of them, is of course a life times work!! Would recommend this DVD to any drummer, from any background, with any musical interests.
they should have kids. Jojo Carey would be a sick drummer, heavy hitting and extremely fast chops- insane knowledge of all time signatures, all styles, dynamic with extreme stick trickery and theatrics.

@ralfodrum thats cool having tons and tons of hand technique.... but thats not going to get you hired. Much rather be a musical drummer then a technical drummer.
@julianisdope which of course is up to personal taste. So what you consider "musical" is completely unmusical and boring to someone else, and vice versa.
@raizumichin yea that is true, but musicality is universal and im sorry but practicing on a pad 8 to 10 hours a day will get you great technique but that is all it will get you. I guess you can practice rudiments and technique with some sort of emotion or feeling but it's rather limited. I mean shit listen to tony williams his playing just screams musicianship. I guess what im trying to say is that there's only so much you can do on a pad. Each to his own i guess. keep drummin
@julianisdope Emotion and feeling comes from the litsener rather than the drummer. Some find Jojo Mayer completely soulless and boring, while others find his playing highly musical. So go on and practice as much as you want (both on pads for physical technique and with a band)
Jo jo is for real, I've seen him play at a drum clinic twice, he is truly incredible, unbelievable chops and technique but equally tasteful and musical. His music tastes are alien, though,lol..Very obscure music but so is his drumming. nobody plays like him. He is truly one of the best..DT43
@flyingdrummer91 I've been playing with traditional style ever since I started drumming, and apart from looking nice, it doesn't really have too many advantages...
this guy is good but it makes me sad that people look at him and try to mimic him. and the results are just awful, playin like that sucsessfully is so fuckin hard
@rwebiscool He muted the head with his fingers. by sliding his fingers across the head instead of merely laying them down like a brick, he made the decay smoother and more legato, instead of a short and harsh decay.
@masonfatfrog It also bent the pitch, if you listen. It's an awesome effect that I still cant figure out how to do. It must be a knack to figure out on coated heads, but I dont play on coated heads either.. so... :P
@Kelavmeister right. when you apply tension to a head, the pitch is increased. when you reduce the tension, pitch is lowered. just as this occurs when you tune the heads (by tightening the lugs), so the pitch can be bent by applying tension with you hands/sticks/etc. He didn't just place his fingers on the head to reduce vibration, he pressed into the head with his fingers which caused the pitch to bend upward.
@masonfatfrog Yup... I know dude, I'm a drummer too, haha. I was more commenting on how he dips the pitch with that finger sweep which I cant do because I dont play on coated heads... my finger has to much traction on clear heads so it just.... stops!
@Kelavmeister He wets his finger and hit his drum, then he slides his finger against the tone vibrations on the coated tom heads surface to produce the pitch bend..
@morpheusdrummer ....I know?? hahahah I don't if you didn't read my comment or something, I understand how it works, I just cant do it because of what I play on. But it's still not a simple thing to do. There's actually another Jojo solo where he attempts it a number of times, and it doesn't work. It's a tricky little knack. I just don't play on a kit with a 10-12" tom with a coated head, unfortunately.
@Kelavmeister You can do it on all sizez of drums just not bassdrums.. I dont think its tricky.. averything seems alot more tricky than they really are when you get them..
@morpheusdrummer The same physics apply to bass drums as any other drum... So you definitely can do it, it just might not be as audible. I think it's tricky under my circumstances; with no coated heads and bigger/lower tensioned toms.
@Kelavmeister You can do it on all sizez of drums just not bassdrums.. I dont think its tricky.. everything seems alot more tricky than they really are when you get them..
I have this DVD and it has helped me so much. i recommend this to anyone that wants to get better at drums because it will change the way you play i swear
Its a givn that most people say that Buddy Rich was the benchmark!
I am yet to see anyone play like him...JOJO is the closest .steve smith and .weckl i are close as well... Lang . Donati . Phillips, are or have become " Soloists " ..like virtuoso Violin players! But u gota admiot jojo has so much feelllllllll man!!! Fuck he is so smooth ! Lang and donati are fucking brutes !!! great but brutes . jojo dances on the skins virgil and lang rape em!
The More I see him play ..the more he blows me away!!!
he has it all Speed , Feel, Chops, Timing.....and that effortless ability to make it just look so amazing and entertaining!! He has so much power for a Jazz style drummer .....I mean he is like a jazz funk . almost fusion player ....but the most scintillating aspect of what he does is his Musicality ......I love Virgil as well ...but man ....his music is hard going ......Jojo is percussionnmusak!!!1
@WillWatson23 What does the dvd contain? Im not a drummer but as a pianist this sweet music to my years. How on earth does he keep to time that well. He's got to have at least five different signatures he's following at the same time in the second solo.
It's pretty much just a guide to hand technique for drummers, this is just a video of one of the solos he played as an intermission on the DVD. It's a great buy for drummers but as pianist you will get little to nothing from it.
@WillWatson23 Thanks. So Im guessing this is not a begginers instructional video? Reallyt thinking of getting acquainted with the drums as well. If this isnt could you recommend a dvd meant for newbies? Thanks again and take care.
@MrJackanthony This is only an excerpt. The DVD consists mostly of detailed explanations and examples of basic and advanced hand techniques that are very useful for both beginners and professionals. Right now, it is the most comprehensive/coherent and clear guide of that kind.
Trying to stay optimistic in that I hope someday I can be as good as this guy... If it means I have to up from 2-3 hours to 7-10 hours then so be it, I just want to be somewhere near as good as this guy. He's just so awesome xD I must have his groove damnit! xD
Personnellement, j'adore jojo Mayer, car pour moi il est vraiment entre tradition (qu'il réinvente même !) et avant-garde (drum and basse, electro ect..). Cela en ayant une réelle personnalité aux coeur de cela et bien sur en étant (toujours) très musical. Merci pour ton travail Jojo !
my premise - guys like Jojo, Royster Jr, Buddy were all playing between 1 and 4 years old and playing proficiently! I'm sorry, but blood sweat and tears may occur as a toddler but not THOSE kind. Natural ability and God-gifted direction helped them here. Not everyone has "it", although it isn't always necessary to have "it" if one works hard enough and has proper guidance.
@PositivelyBored ... i agree about those types of people . A good analogy is to look at pro athletes ... for the most part everyone in the NBA has ridiculous talent and they all work hard and practice but they will still never be as good as Lebron or Kobe .... it is the same thing in music ... people like Jo Jo , or Vinnie , or Andy Fisenden are just born with special talent that the rest of us dont have , no matter how much we practice .
That is something to be proud of though, for me and you and these ridiculously skilled drummers. For us, it's a high water mark to "Get there". For them, it's a challenege to take it even further. Everyone wins.

The More I see him play ..the more he blows me away!!!
he has it all Speed , Feel, Chops, Timing.....and that effortless ability to make it just look so amazing and entertaining!! He has so much power for a Jazz style drummer .....I mean he is like a jazz funk . almost fusion player ....but the most scintillating aspect of what he does is his Musicality ......I love Virgil as well ...but man ....his music is hard going ......Jojo is percussionnmusak!!!1

@candidcomment he's a very well rounded drum and bass drummer. One of my favorite drummers of all time if not my favorite. Buy this DVD it's amazing

@WillWatson23 What does the dvd contain? Im not a drummer but as a pianist this sweet music to my years. How on earth does he keep to time that well. He's got to have at least five different signatures he's following at the same time in the second solo.

@MrJackanthony
It's pretty much just a guide to hand technique for drummers, this is just a video of one of the solos he played as an intermission on the DVD. It's a great buy for drummers but as pianist you will get little to nothing from it.

@WillWatson23 Thanks. So Im guessing this is not a begginers instructional video? Reallyt thinking of getting acquainted with the drums as well. If this isnt could you recommend a dvd meant for newbies? Thanks again and take care.

@MrJackanthony This is only an excerpt. The DVD consists mostly of detailed explanations and examples of basic and advanced hand techniques that are very useful for both beginners and professionals. Right now, it is the most comprehensive/coherent and clear guide of that kind.

If you like this, then chek him out with his band Nerve.

That's crazy all the way through, but at the end it's insane :)

Personnellement, j'adore jojo Mayer, car pour moi il est vraiment entre tradition (qu'il réinvente même !) et avant-garde (drum and basse, electro ect..). Cela en ayant une réelle personnalité aux coeur de cela et bien sur en étant (toujours) très musical. Merci pour ton travail Jojo !

I agree with PositivelyBored. Notice how most drummers say drumming just felt natural to them?

my premise - guys like Jojo, Royster Jr, Buddy were all playing between 1 and 4 years old and playing proficiently! I'm sorry, but blood sweat and tears may occur as a toddler but not THOSE kind. Natural ability and God-gifted direction helped them here. Not everyone has "it", although it isn't always necessary to have "it" if one works hard enough and has proper guidance.

@PositivelyBored ... i agree about those types of people . A good analogy is to look at pro athletes ... for the most part everyone in the NBA has ridiculous talent and they all work hard and practice but they will still never be as good as Lebron or Kobe .... it is the same thing in music ... people like Jo Jo , or Vinnie , or Andy Fisenden are just born with special talent that the rest of us dont have , no matter how much we practice .

That is something to be proud of though, for me and you and these ridiculously skilled drummers. For us, it's a high water mark to "Get there". For them, it's a challenege to take it even further. Everyone wins.
