Jojo Mayer Drum-n-Bass Jam

[oskarveliky]

Do you realize, that most of this video is played on a snare, a hi-hat and a bass drum? All those metal muthafuckas with 20 cymbals and 8 toms get the fuck back to school and learn dividing the rythm. Thanks for that. Oscar

[halldormarteinsson]

in Jojo Mayer's Drum n' Bass the "Bass" is actually just short for "Badass". True story.

[drmrzrul12]

Have you ever just played what his right hand is doing? So great man!

[catman103]

haha the guy going Yeah!! Oh Yeah!  ....Yeah me too..

[drmrzrul12]

Anybody who has disliked this video doesnt have any soul!!!

[tim987321]

what is it placed upon his snare drum or is it just the snare drum?

[drmrzrul12]

@tim987321 Its a splash cymbal

[tim987321]

@drmrzrul12 i thought so but i mean thats so strange. very cool.

[HartBurn88]

Who watches a drum solo and has the urge to scream "YEAH!!" at each silent moment?

[squirrelninjaa]

Thumbs up for the coolaid guy in the background shouting "ooooohh yyeeeaaa" xD

[Audi0Phil]

Whoever rated this down should be ashamed of himself

[badant2000]

What's with the people dissing this guy, they must be jealous. I'm well impressed after sitting through countless drum solo's and as a bass player I'd luv to play to that.

[cfcefa09]

this guy with Squarepusher...

[HeSpokeOfHope]

@theinoffkid Bored of what? Bored of being upset you cant even come close to doing that?

[blackpanther6389]

@theinoffkid Holy shit dude! I'm glad I saw your comment because you've just exposed me to probably my favorite drummer, along with some kick ass music that he was drumming to. Thank you!! =D

[iLikeToHitThings]

this man > any drum machine ever created.

[ShadoTheBrainTheif]

Fuck your weak as programmed drumbeats.

[ssor63]

Want this guy to collaborate with Venetian Snares.

[bhardog90]

He play's so fast, my comp's frame rate tanked

[tonyskiens]

JoJo your bass drum is gated and sounds like SHITE !!

[Paradiddleye]

THIS GUY IS NOT HUMAN.....

[zappa3837]

What is that thing he has on top of his snare at the beginning. I want one!

[Capacity2005]

@zappa3837 Remo TSS (Tunable Sound Shape) Kevlar headed practice pad.

[zelitch477]

То что нужно для хорошего начала дня!

[ZeroO469]

ахренеть !!!!

[MrWeix]

Woww!!



[Audi0Phil]

Paganini would have taken his hat off to this guy

[t3hgir]

We need a Nerve album covering Aphex Twin, Autechre and Boards of Canada!!

[darbuka1]

I got it, this guy was taken away by some aliens, they made some weird tests with him and now he can play drums like this. There can't be no other explanation. This is too far beyond...

[vc316]

the best!



[sooperfukker]

That song was called "Oh yeah" and it only had 1 line apart from the drumming #LOL

[bruceisjack]

He's MAGIC

[JDaviesish]

is he human?

[miketwo345]

Poor guy in the audience just can't contain himself. That's what a melting face sounds like.

[DerWiegand]

wow, very nice! ;)

lol, it seems like the camera man gets shaked by the flow and the rythm feeling :D

[dbbification]

You can say that some metal drummer is the best, some funk drummer is the best or some other drummer is the best but Jojo is the most complete drummer I've ever heard. You can fuck the bass pedal like a madman but there is no rhythm that he can not play without our admire. He is not the best in one rhythm, he is one of the best in the whole range of rhythms.

[ainschie]

for whoever sais travis baker is good, i've got this on my cell to shatter his f*ing point of view on the world of drumming. muhaahahaahhaa

[KeeperSPB]

Охуенный барабанщик

[JimmyKadesch]

YES! CANT STOP WATCHING



[CoolColJ24]

I'm sampling this :O

[drmmer123]

@drumminjoe0507

the remo tunable sound shape, has a kevlar head, like a marching snare drum with a shell

[werdessej]

OHHHH YYEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! Who knew the Kool-Aid jug was a fan of JoJo?

[jamisgt]

это не драм н бас эт настоящий мясной джангл!!!

чувак супер!!!!

[jamisgt]

это не драм н бас эт настоящий мясной джангл!!!

чувак супер!!!!

[1Drummer88]

14 people will go to hell for voting God down

[SharpHotPotato]

OOH YEAH

[Spudbass]

I'd quite like to hear Jojo have a jam with Beardyman. Who's with me?

[theplanet1985]

no matter how hard or long i practice, i will never come close to this guy.

[MarctheDarc]

SO very awesome playing. *drools with envy*...

But i really wanna hurt the guy that keeps going "oh yeah!" like it's some cheap 80's porn - i'm actually suprised nobody did hurt him, i mean, i doubt people payed to be there just to hear him be annoying...

[gizmodzine]

Wicked really love the pattern at 2,29

[HITmanThief]

Just pure awesome!

Big up yourself JoJo!

[semiLivedj]

heard it all in the first minute,I think their is a difference between playing a beat and playing a solo,but im old school,things may have changed to what people call a solo now days.If so,I dont have to like it.He sounds like a program that was stretched.

[r0d014]

how could such an espectacular drummer get record with such a crapy sound

[SHOTGUNtime]

2:48 - 2:52 amzing

[yesalexyeah]

what's he hitting on top of his snare that he removes at 1:50?

[SEhpm]

@yesalexyeah That's the Remo's snare pad.

[CasperGgoodwood]

You can just tell in this video Jojo is so fucking into it. Fuck yea Jojo, get it.

[UnnamedNewcomer]

He'd be fucked if he brakes his wrists when snowboarding.

[roachguitar]

around after 2:49 my brain melted out of my ears

[vileguile4]

While i have no idea of DnB being dead or alive, the love for that rythm never died ;O)

[panameenfreak]

Why the fuck did you stopped recording?

[photoxloan]

11 people can only clap.

[mrbilnext]

i thought the only way to make this jungalist shit was to sequence man this is fucking gully!!!

[Rohhaut]

Drum'n'Bass died some years ago, but with drummers like him it's reborn. RHYTHM, POWER and the NOISE of a drum set - you can't do that on a drum machine.

[charlessavarese]

In an interview on the DRUMMERWORLD site, he says he modeled his style copying the impossible ryhthms produced by drum machines.

[EqualllThree]

fuckin' machin-gun

[finnstroll]

who needs bass for drums like these?

[dthomson80]

2.31...... WTF!

[stekkiof92]

WTF! i love jojo!!!!

[drumsallout]

the 11 people who dislike this video are just jealous b/c he can play faster with one hand then they can in both hands

[drumsallout]

Oh YEAAA

[RexNovi]

his snares are beautiful in every video

[mozaks80]

What a freakin beast

[Auntkekebaby]

I've had the pleasure of seeing him live a bunch of times.

[DDCGaming]

@Auntkekebaby You lucky mother fucker.

[SeanWhitlock]

how could you dislike this go die 11 people that dislike

[1Drummer88]

the most amazing thing about this is, that its actually played by a human being

[dominiccss]

What was that thing he had on top of the snare?

[ameliorate2695]

@dominiccss probably a drum pad

[cutpsychoactivemach]

@ameliorate2695 it looks like a cymbal

[ameliorate2695]

@cutpsychoactivemach its not tho cause he uses the same thing in his dvd

[cutpsychoactivemach]

@ameliorate2695 oh sorry.. i was talking about the 3:45 one..

[ameliorate2695]

@cutpsychoactivemach oh lol in that case you are right then

[axdexter23]

hell yeah bro

[Misantropo04]

Stop screaming and just listen...

[rushnerd]

@Misantropo04

he's probably drunk lol

[dedbult]

wanna see him collab with dub fx :D

[KaliberKing]

10 people were anally abused by drum sticks as children.

[atticusspc]

@KaliberKing lol we actually did that to friend once XD

[jacksdrumshop]

@KaliberKing the other 5 wish they were

[mustasparta]

...wow

very precise and technical

I am impressed

[mabilisable]

those 10 people who disliked this video doesn't know how to appreciate real talent

[divadro102]

damn this guy could easily do this with just pots and pans and the effect would still be the same... i give him 50/10 stars :)

[willforty2]

search: Amorphic drum ...( 1st video result ).

what technique is this??

[dammisiech]

@MrLlamaPro : Truly fucking sick!! :)

[Raidaanmazz]

thumbs up for the guy constantly shouting "oooooh yyyeeeeaaaahh" xD

[dutchman2006]

@Raidaanmazz lol now you mentioned it, he makes me laugh half to death :p

jojo is cool :)

[dutchman2006]

@Raidaanmazz lol now you mentioned it, he makes me laugh half to death :p

jojo is cool :) Ooooh yeeeeah hehe

[SolarionSeadragon]

@Raidaanmazz He's trying to make it like the Think break.

[kostas4trance]

@Raidaanmazz its the cool aid jug!!!

[Raidaanmazz]

@kostas4trance winning!

[syrusface]

@MrLlamaPro

oHHHH yAAAA

[antibulletdodger101]

no seriously, Im not that good. really

[Dragoon4040]

@antibulletdodger101 Cool story bro.

[LordOfYahoo]

10 people decided to play the trumpet in high school

[ourobRs]

Would love to see him "jam" with Squarepusher.

[keyrat87]

how does putting a cymbal on a snare drum make it electronic?

[themightykorean]

@keyrat87 If you watch closely, you'll see he's doing rim shots and not just straight snare hits. It's for effect.

[sicock86]

i luv how that dude in the background keep yellin haha great stuff

[thefatpiggytail]

hes not really an inspiration to me. i know i cant play like him, i just respect him as a unique kind of drummer.

[keifla]

I couldn't even play the first 30 secs! Insane.

[pr192001]

What is that thing he is play on, it look like a remo drum pad?

[SCORPIOXDRAGON]

@pr192001 ... it looks like a Remo T.S.S. and if it is, it's probably the Black Max version. I don't think they make em anymore, but yeah same idea as the practice pad's. sort of. They were kind of pricey when they came out. I wish they would have just skipped that though, and spent the RnD on woven heads in sizes OTHER than 13" and 14".

[LIGHTRONIX]

I think this is one of his best performances

[1TheMax1]

There are a few people that wanted to press the like button, but the beat started and they missed it. Hot Damn!

[TheDayIsNotLost]

My right hand hurts from just watching him.... how does he do that?!!

[MuziqSoul114]

One of my main influences.. JOJO FTW!

[x3xtacYx]

awesome how he moves closer to the hihat at the start to change its sound

[desmaic]

it's so good it hurts.

[guillaumeowinach]

whoa!



[terenceamerika]

wow that's really awesome, he's the F-ing sh*t. He should jam with some people with other instruments to make it even better . I saw a Orchestra that played live DNB and it's called Foenkk and it's some where on Youtube.com

[Bobbals]

I saw him live at a drum clinic in pittsburgh pa. I was six feet away from the man and talked to him for a couple of minutes. It was the best hour of my life.

[Bobbals]

[chimmych0la]

2:58 to 3:02 was the fucking shit! it's about time a drummer stepped up and put sampled beats in there place!

[klichukb]

FUCKING COOOL!

[optionaxis]

Fucking sick beats

[thinkpad20]

Holy Ghostnotes batman! This is fucking awesome. I love live DnB.

[marty3699]

I think we can all agree he's not even human. Love that Moeller-like thing he tosses in now and again just a quick right-left-right stroke but around ten-billion precision touches per stroke. You only get to see it once and a while, the arms come up just a bit higher than usual but the fingers and sticks to the work on each stroke. sick technique, sick groove and hand speed. Only one or two other drummers are comparable (IMO, Steve Smith and possibly Frank Belucci)

[daveram777]

Fett Fett Fett.

[Vartex]

1:26 Hell yeah!!!!

[skaau145]

how does he do such fast 1 handed grooves and beats?!?!

[Vartex]

@skaau145 I believe he does a moeller combined with pushpull at the same time.

[asd12345678]

Travis isn't as good as alot of drummers, but its becoz of the simple groovy beats and stage presence that every other normal people who listens, enjoys it. He has much more fans then jojo

[drumr6198ish]

"Oh yeeaaah!!"

[1Drummer88]

What the fuck spelled in Drum Beats at 2:57 - 3:03

[MinistryOfM]

holy jeez i held my breath through most of that.

impossible to listen too sitting down. d&b is the greatest.. those super-fast funky snares make my day.

[asiunia162]

corect is breakd'n'bcore ala Mr Jojo in short ersion bd'n'bc!!!

[andyncfcgetshypedup]

DDDDRRUUMMM N BBBAAASSSS

[tatzor]

Him and Flea from RHCP jamming would be awesome

[roki92]

aubsCÌUagfcìuegfìuegfèifioueaf­ioh thhatt wass siicckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! he doesn´t need any wild chops.... only his grooves are just amazing

[zanderdanmark]

fucking wild drummer. nothing more to say.

[sartre93]

he is fucking crazy

and one of the best

[1Drummer88]

In the middle ages this guy would've been killed for having a contract with the devil

[JohnNguyenFTW]

I only thought drum and bass was electronic, but wow this is awesome live! I wonder how much his set costs, those drums and cymbals sound nice.

[cxbra]

I saw in another video, not only are his hands super quick, but he flicks his wrist on every snare hit for a double hit in his rolls!! Man..

[GrosVeinardLOVE]

Wow...Buddy Rich and drum n bass beat = D

[dbbification]

A lot of people can do double bass pedal but look at his hands. They have no graviti! He is more than sick! keep on rocking!

[paqman78]

Fuckin sick.

[Drockthehouse95]

geeeeeeeezzzz this dood rocks hard

[SaxMan7776518]

This is cool. But why would you spend your life trying to sound like a machine?

[Taschenratte]

because he can ;)

[EvolRogg]

Would be cool to see/hear a collaboration project between Jojo and his father, Vali Mayer (awesome bassist!).

[maxxe2]

beast drumming, just wish the quality was better

[EvolRogg]

How can you judge a "good" beat and a bad one?

For Drum 'n Bass freaks like me this is pure awesomeness, man!!! He plays it so damn fluently!! Moeller technique isn't that hard to learn on pad or snare, but it's f*ucking difficult to apply it on the drumset like him while playing an, for this example Amen Break..

Greez

[coastermusic93]

yeah Moeller is pretty easy to learn on a pad or snare (the only place Ive learned it). I cant imagine doing it on a drumset

[EvolRogg]

Me to! Especially when I wanna play straight eight or sixteen notes on the ride cymbal and apply Moeller on the snare, my Ride-Hand always follows the "Moeller-Hand". It's tricky to coordinate. Fills/licks with moeller are not the real problem, but playing a constant beat is way too hard for me for now! But it's worth practicing, that's for sure. This technique changed my whole style of playing and my upperbody movement!

[coastermusic93]

yeah, it seems like it would be pretty hard to play a constant beat. Its still pretty awesome though.

[popemobile15]

best drummer in the world, no question

[TBRodd]

@popemobile15 noob

[popemobile15]

@TBRodd cry some more

[TBRodd]

@popemobile15 dont comment on sth you have no clue about

[popemobile15]

@TBRodd tell me who's better than jojo mayer so I can laugh at you

[TOAFN]

Awesome breakbeats!

When digital goes analog...

[SvedeboXque]

And all the kids think Travis Barker is a God... fools!

[Jezro]

Yeah, wtf is with that

[1Drummer88]

@SvedeboXque

Dont mention this name dude .... damn ... just ... dont mention it

[N3wNaKeD]

@SvedeboXque rofl ! SO TRUE !

[mosher22]

@SvedeboXque

for that waht he does travis is ok....but there are worlds betwen theese two drummers in skill and passion!!!:D -jojo rocks!!

[KidMangaka]

@SvedeboXque im 13 but my favorite drummer is tony roytser jr and Jojo... Travis is ok but anyone can do that (just attach a motor to your hands and feet and ur set -.-)

[Nikronator]

@SvedeboXque Travis' s nothing

[bagruj]

@SvedeboXque everyone loves travis because he remixes popular songs. but this is fuckin crazy.

[dammisiech]

@SvedeboXque : Ooooooohh Yeeeaaahhh!!!
