  • @KoKaTa ...well - that's the difference ;-)

  • @PositivelyBored ....right. I remember Dave Weckl sayin' in an 80ies' interview that he was listening a lot to a group called "Screamin' Headless Torsos" - and simply was amazed by the drummer - who was Jojo at the time.

  • @TheProfessorWilliam

    This was 20 years ago too....Jojo is way more mature and seasoned now too. This video here came from the days when Weckl said "watch out for Jojo, hes a phenom"

  • Why are his rants so god damn groovy?!

  • i agree with jojo...but in the same time...there are styles where u cant just touch the cymbals...i mean..death metal come one...

  • in saying that though a drummer SHOULD be economical with their playing were applicable. I mean I watch guys like Travis Barker, and it looks really impressive, but the way he sets up his cymbals and how he attacks them, I bet he goes through a lot of them. and its really uneccesary, just seems like he chokes all the tone from his crashes doing that anyway. and it doesn't make him look anymore punk or rock n roll to anybody actually thinking. So yeah being economical is very important

  • I understand what jojo is saying and for the most part I agree, but their is no right or wrong dynamics in playing, like the open hi hat stuff. in a punk band or thrash or any hi octane rock riff that heavy hat style sounds good, remember as a musician you are setting the vibe and that heavy hi hat stuff can bring some edgy rough and raw charm to a thrash or punk riff, not so much if you just played it lighter. now for blues, or jazz you'd want to play it lighter. love jojo though killer player

  • It so easy to pick apart something you hear. But how many of you can

    sit next to this man and play with the same on the spot technique. We are

    living in a world full of people talking shit and showing nothing. We as musicians

    need to have more LOL for each other. Just learn the basics and work together. Show us what you do with it. Check out D.Weckl 

  • @ariesram74 ...go to bed, you're drunk.

  • @DavidChoiDrumz That is a great question. I have no idea. Probably just working with rudiments, and making hybrids and pre meditated phrases. That is what I do. But i'm not 1/20th of this guy lol. I think he is just really really good hahaha : )
