Lets start with Jo-Jos envelope, which was adorned with a hand-written boast: Theres Keith Moon, John Bohnam, Art Blakey, and Jo-Jo! Oh-kee-do-kee! Then he called the DRUM! Office to see if we checked out his stuff yet, and sounded a little peeved as he kept our advertising director on the phone for 15 minutes. My interest piqued, so I popped in the video and saw a guy built like a lumberjack pacing around a Guitar Center, tapping on drums. The salesman behind the counter stared as the man-mountain sat behind a kit, picked up the sticks, and proceeded to blow the heads off of everyone within eight square blocks. His ambidextrous hands and feet flew, mixing impossible fills with dangerously fast funk and fusion, without repeating a single bar or blowing the tempo. He made scary faces, didnt break a sweat, and kept it up for ten minutes or so. Jo-Jo Moceri has traveled from his hometown outside of Detroit, to New York and finally Los Angeles, determined to get his career rolling. Along the way he has appeared on VH-1 and played in an early incarnation of Kid Rocks band. This guy is going to make it. No questions about it.
