[darthjoey13]

Jojo Mayer really is a modern drummer.

[USMCdrummer06]

This is better than anything off of gospelchops...hands down

[BodomBlastBeats]

1:05 best part;)

[SarahTDrumGuru]

awesome

[snorhyveln]

01:15 Brilliant!

[NerfLad]

What the hell is that on his secondary snare drum?

[infantfinite]

@NerfLad it's basically the edge of a cymbal cut out to fit that snare. Not only is jojo one of the greatest players out there today, he's also pushing the drums further as an instrument.

[impalas5150]

the man is cool as shit



[Spenserforwood]

if there's such a thing as making love to your drums, this is it

[arturobritos]

[clubwedd]

This fucker is a god on the drums.

[AdamOuissellat]

Hahahah that stop is badass

[mikenigga1]

lmfao. JoJo mayer layin it down to some dubstep. Goes to show how eclectic he is. awesome grooves

[davidflood]

Wow. The german audience know a fat groove when they hear it. =) Where are the bobbing heads???

[indiscipline]

@davidflood we germans love to clap on the downbeat but maybe the audience has no clue where to begin...? or maybe they want the support act to finish so that kraftwerk can hit the stage?

well, just kidding ;-)

their brains are too busy with transforming jojo's drumpatterns into a complex threedimensional scientific poem about the financial crisis, backwards of course!

you wouldn't suggest they all have sticks up their asses, would you...?

[davidflood]

@indiscipline No never, atleast not Jojo´s signature model. Maybe they were waiting for Portnoy whose pyrotechnics are a bit more shall we say "obvious"....

[kasponya]

@indiscipline Jojo Mayer is a good old friend of mine, we first met when he was 15 and I was 17 in Zurich where we both grew up. We played together through the years in different situations. Although a funny stereotype, there is some truth to germanic people clapping on 1 and 3, I think it goes back to centuries of Folklore and Polka rhythms which are all based on 1 and 3 (oompah), never on 2 and 4 like many rhythms of afro american music. Many can never shake it off, especially non musicians:)

[indiscipline]

@kasponya thank you for the traditional insight - sounds reasonable. actually it's kinda wrong to screw up one's nose about 1&3, as if there was a wrong and a right way to count and feel music. imagine traditonally rooted clapping in quintuplets - these folks would smile at all you 2&4 guys... ;-)

[kasponya]

@indiscipline I agree. I didn't mean to be condescending with my "1 & 3" comment. It's just an observation. Regular indian people grow up hearing ragas that are rhythmically so complex that not many professional western musicians can even play them, yet they probably sing along to it like we sing along to "Rosamunde". On the other hand some of the greatest music ever came from germanic roots.. Bach, Beethoven, Techno......

[indiscipline]

@kasponya ...I should have written "all of the 2&4 guys (myself included)"! and concerning raga? couldn't agree more ;-)

[aldar98]

@davidflood I'd venture to say ppl are there to watch him in a technical way rather than to enjoy what is done; it was a clinic tour, not a show, after all.

[fjjvjjdsdfw]

He's like Bob Ross with sunglasses on haha

[DandsDrummer]

A perfect human electronic machine

[tukmol074]

JOJO Mayer is the MACHINE!!!! FIVE STAR FOR HIM

[Kurtly1967]

[thepiedpider12]

Does jojo still use the fierce hats?

[dude0that0kicks0ass]

The public doesn't deserve him.

[cubedrummer19]

What's the thing that's on his secondary snare?

[juangiordana]

@cubedrummer19 that's the outer part of a crash cymbal

[kaaninflames]

dayı yapcak bişi yok :D

[RonBurgundy609]

[ArtofRi0t]

Jojo is the man. :D Hands down...

[TheOFFICIALeGx]
