Performance Spotlight: Jojo Mayer

[rydeenisok]

what do you call this genre of drumming?

[xLaLaRainx]

Ghost Note Master.

[naedsukram]

His attention to detail is what makes his playing sound so good, every stroke counts and is perfectly executed, combine that with his technique, speed, musicality, and a great drum sound, pure joy to watch, master of his instrument.

[VITALSEAmusic]

THIS IS ORIGINAL!

[bdysrf]

[SERCHSOS3722]

the bass sounds like a TV box

[cstockfo99]

3 people don't know what real drumming is

[fedepaz11]

-me gusta como toca,simple,sin tanta acrobacia y su set una bateria chica.

[joshuachan56]

[gmorton731]

Vic Firth is the best stick in the world 4 me-- I've used them consistently for 25 years& have NEVER been disappointed--I cant imagine using anything else

[ben2nd]

Fuck the bass sounds horrible

[nickfizzle1212]

@ben2nd i think either your headphones or speakers suck ass

[BokorugroRR]

You know the drummer is legendary, when you can recognize the song only by it's drumtrack.

[SarcasticElephant]

Holy fucking shit every time a see another video of Jojo it seems as if he gets better each time!!!!!!!

[muzical26]

[thisguyisaninja]

Left hand of the fucking devil....

[PayneKrunk]

sabian cymbals lookin pretty good right about now :)

[76ruben76]

so, what is application for the last tom?

[fallingfromjupiter]

@76ruben76 It's just a high-pitch tom, positioned where he likes it. I honestly don't see him use it too often.

[weirdman101]

GAH!!! I DIDNT WANT IT TO END :/

[MS93Drums]

Disliking this is blasphemy..

[FrankLincolnWright]

Good ol' Jojo!

[umdiscodevinil]

The greatest drummer!

He should record another DVD.

I can't get enough of Jojo!

[tetragramm]

he starts jamming on one of the tracks off of the Nerve cd. If you haven't checked it out, you should..for obvious reasons.

[gavazzi01]

Esso maninho e complicado muitoooo Lokkkk

[DrJedd]

Weird sounding drum kit... but it's cool, it brings a bit of welcome freshness :)

[NickWishesHeWasCool]

I used to be an adventurer like you... But then I watched a Jojo Mayer video and became a drummer

[masterworks71]

YES. 'Nuff said.

[Mr1000things]

Winderfulllllllll !!!!

[IneffableSoundwave]

I wonder what were to happen if you made a hybrid John Bonham/Buddy Rich/Danny Carey/Jojo Mayer hybrid human.

[abstractpercussion]

I love grove-solos like this, man.

[dann123124]

[VNdrummer]

[phillips90210]

Vic Firth number one!

[Konjaraful]

love the bass drum *____*

[unicursalhex]

What I would give for hand technique like that

[MetalCamelChannel]

@unicursalhex Would you give up tons of time to practice? That's what it takes.

[unicursalhex]

@MetalCamelChannel No, just my left nut

[TheShankmeister]

It's those leather chaps, man.

I'm getting myself a pair. Tomorrow.

[Eleutherarch]

Really not a fan of the DnB stuff at the beginning. But all the grooves afterwards, just unbelievably good.

[schismowy]

Oh God I love that snares fill at 2:56!!!

[MRZ0MBIEZZ]

@schismowy you could do that if you played quads :D

[analfistt]

@schismowy God is his name, yeah. :)

[dmelv]

2:50 to 2:57 grooving! great left hand roll syncopation on the left tom finalized by a really slick fast transition over the snare with amazing relaxed footwork throughout. I love this drummer

[glacier2win]

What an amazing drummer.

[TdrumsRHCP]

What is that china?

[TheOfficialKanati]

@TdrumsRHCP From what I understand he used to use a Sabian Extreme China, but the one he is using now I'm not sure. He has signature cymbals so it probably has the same name as his other cymbals which have the name "Fierce" so probably a Sabian Fierce China or something like that?

[Bluums]

@TdrumsRHCP Not sure about this china, but lately he's using Chad Smith's Holy china. Jojo's changing chinas quite often, at one point he was using diffreent Fierce prototypes, but those didn't really work out too well

[shootsbraw]

I don't get it, he's using Evans heads now ?!

bu kick has P3 ?!

anyhow, Evans sound terrible in comparison to the Remo coated ambassadors he used to use !

[glacier2win]

@shootsbraw I agree. His bass drum sounds too open. That's the best way I can describe it. But amazing drumming regardless.

[gmorton731]

@shootsbraw As a Remo player myself i have 2 agree with u--but hey, its Jojo Mayer--He's gonna sound great no matter WHAT heads he uses

[DeePohon]

ahaha 311 views

[omaddog]

what does he use for snare dampening?İs that spesific equipment or?

[TheAlexHJrShow]

love this !! he's so groovy, its crazy ! :)

[meshuggles]

He looks like a pimp!

[Rougarou13]

@meshuggles A DRUM PIMP

[MultiDrummerDan]

Woah, That was amazing.

[heuermanpercussion]

Jojo is so crazy.. So smooth... so freakin good. I can't get enough of it.

[Osskarii]

What AAX china is that??? :O

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@Osskarii 19" AAX-Treme Chinese.

[xSBxBBBdx]

when he's playin it doesn't sound like a drum set anymore, it's something extremely awesome and mind blowing... O.O

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

He's just...so damn good.
