jojo mayer: tribute to gary glitter @ musik-produktiv, niederlenz.mp4

Jojo Mayer (born 18 January 1963) is a famous drummer from Switzerland who brings together jazz, drum and bass, jungle, and other influences. He lives in New York City.

He is famous for his ability to play the rhythms of programmed jungle drum 'n' bass music on acoustic drums. He terms this "reverse engineering", a phrase borrowed from computing. He executes this approach using methods including the Moeller technique, specifically the pull-out accent, "push-pull" (also called "open-close") which takes the beat on the rebound. Using this technique he can play beats at astonishing speeds. One of his main influences is Buddy Rich.

He is the founder of the Prohibited Beatz clique in the NYC underground live music scene.


[edit] Media
He was featured as the cover story of the January 2008 issue of Modern Drummer magazine. His DVD, [[Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer]], is a bestseller worldwide.


[edit] Gear
Mayer is a long-time Sonor endorser and also uses Sabian cymbals. Mayer has also collaborated with Sabian to create a series of cymbals is Sabians top-tier Vault line. These are called Fierce cymbals and consist of hi-hats, rides, and crash cymbals.

jojo is the best drummer sensei ewer

[erikeepper]

I've seen loads of drummers. But for example his left hand technique just is unique. No-one, here on youtube at least, does what he does with his left hand. That alone is enough to make him a god.

Are you a drummer btw? Who are your greatest influences?

On the 8th day, God created JoJo... WORD.

[norjansonjoe]

@erikeepper It's not unique, it's called traditional grip, and it is what all drummers used before around the 60's.
