Jojo Mayer & the Nerve LIVE @ Aquarius, Zagreb

FULL & DOWNLOAD - http://www.transmeet.tv/default.aspx?id=1157

Mayer is the son of a touring musician and began his career as a drummer at an early age, receiving his first drum set at the age of two. Having taught himself throughout his childhood, he broke out into the professional music scene at the age of 18, joining the Monty Alexander group. Touring with the group launched him into the major jazz music scene, and he has played at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux, Nice, and Athens etc., which culminated with his gigging with jazz-greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. Eventually, after playing with a great variety of artists, Mayer moved away from jazz and into Drum 'n' Bass electronica.

He is also famous for his ability to play the rhythms of programmed jungle drum 'n' bass music on acoustic drums, terming this technique "reverse engineering", a phrase borrowed from computing. He executes this approach using various methods such as the Heel-toe bass drum technique, the Moeller stroke, and the "pull-out" or "push-pull" accent which takes the beat on the rebound. Using these techniques, he can play beats at astonishing speeds.

He is the leader of live electronica trio Nerve, which he founded in 1997. They are Jojo Mayer: Drums, John Davis: Bass and Low End Manipulation, Takuya Nakamura: Keys and Trumpet, Roli Mossiman: Sound and Realtime Audio Deconstruction. Check out their live performance from Aquarius club in Zagreb, Croatia.

Great sound quality, but like really bad pick of 5mins from

that show. There were far more interesting parts to choose.

@GolubDinko - We could record only first three songs. Standard procedure :((

@GolubDinko I disagree. While I admit Jojo is perhaps the main draw here, personally as a bass player I want to hear more of John Davis' amazing effects. They're kinda lost a little here.

@teundrumhead no one is dancing because there's no women there.

[TimmyMezig]

[wholovinsue]

Frend i ja smo bili jedina 2 luđaka koje je bolio kiki kako njemu rade ruke i noge dok svira. To vidim i na youtubeu. Mi smo se toliko izdivljali sa desne strane Aquariusa da neki ljudi nisu mogli vjerovati kaj radimo. Moraš biti lud da stojiš mirno dok likovi sviraju.

[teundrumhead]

are they not allowed to dance or what? i should go nuts with a band like that!
