Drum Teacher Reacts: YOYOKA | Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love | (2021 Reaction)

[@Richard.Cabeza]

I’m blown away by Yoyoka. She’s a drumming machine. Left foot is going non stop, right foot doing different, left and right hand. Try that with just your feet for just 5 seconds. lol. I LOVE watching her drum.

[@lloydwalters4252]

I can't imagine being this good at anything, truly a gift. Please don't forget to be a kid and enjoy life

[@Duh6666666]

Yoyoka has IT, whatever that is, instinctive rhythmic awareness and a deep-felt joy that you can feel when she is playing, add the fact that her drum is brilliantly tuned and you get a great cover like this one.

[@Richard-wh9wm]

There is true musical genius in this little one.

Oh my God,Yo yo i am totally lost for words. What a talented, courageous, young lady you are. Taking a classic song, with a classic drum part and adding your own touches TO ENHANCE THE CLASSIC ORIGINAL. I have stopped breathing.

She actually seems to get be better every week. She just seems to magically make every song sound better than the original! Part of the magic is in the socks, the rest in her SOUL. Great Reaction, AS USUAL!

@@racebiketuner Yes, you're as bad (actually as good) as me promoting her channel and Patreon...LOL When she was in Las Vegas I got to spend a lot of time with her and her family, attended the recording session for "The Ocean", got to sit next to her at the Silk Sonic concert, and even taught Shido how to play poker (he beat me). Talk about memories that will last a lifetime! One of the best times of my life!

[@LostAgain1970]

One thing I can tell about Yoyoyka she has give my humble respect to all you drummers out there. You add so much to the music I didn't notice before. And all of this respect i dedicate to Yoyoka. She caught my eyes what you do. Kudos to all of you drummers!

Holy crap. SUCH a killer groove, no matter how old / young you are. I have only heard of her from your channel, so I know nothing about Yoyoka, but I'd think she's already doing studio work with chops like that. OH, and that snare tone ! The tone of ALL the drums is PERFECT !

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup. This is next level good

[@KiatHuang]

Excellent reaction and critique - useful for those of us who are non-drummers. A few things that are unbelievably impressive about Yoyoka: * her taste in music is mature * she is brave as hell, taking on the work of world-class drummers * it feels like every song she does is one take, the first take * her power and stamina are astonishing * she is constantly and quickly improving * she finishes so cleanly, no hesitation, right into the drumstick wave * Yoyoka has a wonderful memory, she knows all the hits and changes - she is in control and knows exactly what she is doing as a drummer

It's really cool to see her evolve. She's about to get her teen-muscles at this point, you can already see her gripping the sticks further back and getting a really strong hit out of them while getting great rebound and all that goodness. And the speed and control is glorious now. So sharp.

She is so so cool. And she is loving everything she plays. I don't know the original inside out either but I'm sure there are more quarter note triplet fills put in. But they work really well. So she is bringing her own stamp to the cover. Which means she is growing in confidence. I hope she lands a really good gig one day. She deserves it

She just did a Beatles track where she sang and played all the instruments, she also plays Nirvana songs with her family! So much fun

Yoyoka's innate gift is a given. The inherent flair and knack for knowing what works with any song she plays is the happy consequence for us. She challenges reviewers to shy away from the "oh...WOOWW" mob and assess her output honestly and knowledgeably.👏 Nice review, Andrew. 👍

The groove she has in this song almost entrances me… I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s sooo good!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It almost feel like a slap in the face and I wake up for the break parts and get goose bumps from the different tempos of them. I have to agree… this, to me, is defiantly one of her best performances! (Sorry if I use weird terminology, not a drummer and not native English speaker 😅)

Her cover of the Prince song "If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life" is also highly recommended. The precision, the ENERGY and the short jazz-explosion in the end... oh my.

[@keneagle7684]

[@springy-2112]

Such a relaxed feel while playing with power confidence and conviction. It's talent like Yoyoka that make it all look so easy . But it's not , there's no way I could nail that song that well after 41years playing . I consider myself a decent/capable drummer . But man it's a pleasure to watch this young girl teach me some tricks ! ( relax , enjoy and feel the groove ) .. So basically I could play it but I would be trying and thinking too hard , rather than letting it flow .. Thanks Yoyoka for the lesson and cheers Andrew for the reaction. I need to remember this moment when I'm recording . 👍🏻☮❤peace and love brother 👍🏻

[@scyphe]

Ginger Baker was a really great and inventive drummer in his Cream , Blind Faith and his fusion group Ginger Baker's Air Force. He definitely influenced many drummers that started out in the early 70'ies and onward. His more "simple"-sounding drum parts are very effective as he plays the rhythms (like the verse in this song) as if he was playing a melody. Regarding Yoyoka (what hasn't been said already?)... The part at 5:20 and 6:00 is just... G.O.A.T. She makes it look sooo easy (which for her it really is) do a.. uhm.. kick triplets-tom-snare fill? Those kickdrum triplets in that short little part under the tom+snare hits are just amazing. I have to rewind certain parts just to watch what she was doing since it went by so fast and I couldn't figure out what she did from just hearing it once. Then she adds those dynamic 16th note ~half-strength hits right before a full hit on the tom for instance and she doesn't move her arm, it's just a drumhead bounce with the second hit being harder. Simple but very effective and makes such a difference.

[@wave8359]

[@calvinzhobbes1977]

That was amazing-gave me that mmm feeling. And the explanation of what she was doing was interesting as always, thanks.

This is turning out to be one of my favourite Yoyoka covers. I watched Ginger Baker do this after watching Yoyoka and as someone else has commented I also prefer her version. Great reaction video as always, you are someone worth listening to my friend. Pat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow, thank you Pat!

[@waynelynch9557]

I did the same thing and agree with you 100%.

[@BrianA810]

She is about the most amazing drummer, bar none, that I've ever seen. If you want to see another good one that show her progress from the 7 y/o onyx video and this one, watch the one of her covering Peter Gabriel 'Steam'. I'm still in awe of that performance.

[@emanuelmota7217]

Yoyoka's "Steam" is simply amazing. Can't say enough about this girl..

[@irrefudiate]

You are right, in my estimation, she composed this entire piece, showing bits of Ginger Baker and then going off into Yoyoka. Oh, myyy.

[@iFoneVids]

Clean, tight, timing, authoritative, dynamics, professional, technique, control, execution and impressive. More other superlatives could be said but that’s just typical Yoyoka and she’s still improving. She’s always in the pocket and if not she knows how to get back to it seamlessly. With this cover like in most cases, she always put her own spin to it and it makes the piece much more interesting (like the drum bass action). She elevates it i.e. ‘Steam’ cover. Btw, her left foot/action is a habit of hers. I know someone said that Ginger does it too but Yoyoka does it all the time. Her left foot is always on the left pedal. She’s got great fundamentals. Not sure if it was taught to her but I won’t be surprise if it was just her innate sense of musicality. Like she knows how things should be done properly. I’ve seen her 6 yr old live gig with a live band, her hi hat technique is already at a high level. One thing I can add on that specific video was her total focus. That can’t be taught much less to a 6 yr old. I don’t know if you accept non-patreon or non-PayPal requests but I would recommend you to see her cover of Char’s ‘Smokey’. I think she’s 7 or 8 yrs old. It’s a SMH moment. Thanks Andrew for the reaction. 👍🥁🤘🏼

I hope her parents stay on the ball and guard her from harm as she grows. Thank you!!!

I’ve just seen her latest video doing a rainbow number, it’s amazing , the original drummer was cozy Powell

[@jkf9167]

One of the things that sets Yoyoka apart is her attention to detail. Those big cymbals on the downbeat with the toms just sound so Ginger Baker-ish. Another cool thing about her is that despite her chops, it seems as though her aspiration is to be a band drummer. Whatever band she's covering, it seems as though she could just fill in for the entire gig if the drummer didn't show.

[@DickusCopernicus]

You should take a look at Yoyoka's cover of Cozy Powell's "Kill the King" by Rainbow. As Andrew says she is out of control. Classic Rock.

This child has considerable skills. She is amazing!!!! What a talent???? If she stays with a few more years, she could do this to earn a living. Yes boys and girls she is that good!!!!

[@asiankaos3861]

She is the epitome of in the pocket. Metronomes are envious of her timing.

[@thelionsshare6668]

My hypothesis, based partly on watching this channel's analysis of Yoyoka (because what do I know? I'm not a drummer) is that starting out at a very early age, she HAD to hit the drums as hard as she could to get the necessary sound. That becoming a habit then, she kept it up, gaining more control as she grew older, although she seems to have had a lot of control early on.

[@retohofmann5878]

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Classic rock doesn’t get any more classic than Sunshine of Your Love; if you go back and watch an early Cream video of this song, Ginger Baker’s playing is powerful, but not particularly complex, as was the case with many early rock songs. As she has gotten older, Yoyoka has started to add some of her own embellishments to her covers, which in this case improves on the original in my opinion. 👍😎

[@Glen.Black.]

Totally agree. I feel exactly the same way about all the classic rock songs. Love them, but she makes almost every one of them sound better, after the "Yoyoka Effect" is added. She has just got what it takes to make a song sound it's absolute best!

I can't wait for you to react to her playing both, Rainbow - Kill the King and Dua Lipa - Levitating. :D

[@EsotericNY]

My personal favorite is her cover of Peter Gabriel's "Steam"... esp. through some Beyerdynamic DT 1770s. Watch her kicks starting around 2:44... music seems to flow through every cell in her body to the point of reaching an ecstatic state. What a staggering talent. Curious to get your thoughts, Andrew. Like many of her covers, her version of Steam is better than the original.

[@ThePallidor]

She turns into a volcano of groove at those points. And actually as I rewatch more of her older covers I can see it in others songs, yes Steam, Uptown Funk, even her RATM covers. And her recent one Levitating. I really think people are so caught up in her technical skill that they're not quite noticing how good she really is at building pure excitement.

[@gizmotis]

she brings something to all her covers that didn't exist in them before, like here with changes to an all-time great song/drummer. her cover of levitating takes a fairly simple dance song groove to a place that most cover-ers (?) can't find with a flashlight and a map. it's impressive work for any drummer imo.

[@waynelynch9557]

She was definitely feeling the groove. Her steam cover is awsome one of my favorites.

[@johnr.8275]

This song sounds deceptively easy to play....until you try to! You definitely have to acquire (and practice, practice, practice) the knack of it. What gets me about Yoyoka is the sheer joy on her face as she plays. She is doing it for all the right reasons, and the sky isn't even the limit for her. What an inspiration to all of us drummers out there, young and old alike.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great tune!

[@PaulKeil]

To me she is playing to the original Ginger Baker version but you can still hear John Bonham's influence in there. Impressive.

[@Glen.Black.]

Originally her father did all the engineering, and he has always done a great job! But he has been teaching her for a while now, so who knows. She has actually FULLY produced two "One Girl Band" covers in the last two months (Vocals (in English), complete with 3 harmonies (if I'm using the correct term), keyboard, 3 guitars, and of course drums). This is the most recent one. She also includes the process in her vids. "Here, There And Everywhere - The Beatles / Covered by YOYOKA played all the instruments" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZnCeZymq6p6p5o She also did a vid called よよかのドラム講座28 "叩いてみた動画のつくりかた" / ”YOYOKA” Drum course ＃28 "How to shooting the video of drum cover", where she explains the process in great detail, so she has been involved in the process for quite a while now.

I've been following Yoyoka for almost two years now and thought that nothing she did could surprise me anymore, and then I heard her reincarnate Keith Moon and almost fell off my chair. There must be something in the water in Japan, which they only give to the girls. You need to check out Akane Hirose, who is the drummer of Band Maid, who in my opinion are the best rock band to have emerged in decades. I've just turned 60 and have seen most of the great rock acts perform live, but I can honestly say that Band Maid are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Their songwriting, playing, and chemistry together is out of this world and they have completely reignited my love of rock music. If you haven't already reacted to one of their songs, or to Akane's drumming, I think you'll be amazed at how good they are.

[@Glen.Black.]

I've watched the original and no disrespect to the great Ginger Baker but I like Yoyoka's drumming better. The change you referred to (I didn't take that as a negative comment) in the beginning is what her fans call the "Yoyoka Effect". She said she listens to and learns the original first, as played, then makes changes that she "feels" make the song better. In all fairness, most great drummers do that to their own songs as you know. She was advising popular local bands very early. According to one band member, who said Yoyoka (at age 6), was watching them rehearse in the studio, and said "I think it would be better if you played it this way". They tried it and said "You're right!". The girl just "Has It".

I never mean any disrespect to any of them. They all EARNED THEIR PLACE! I think Yoyoka is great, but sometimes I think, is it just me or is she really as great as people say. When I go back to the originals, it confirms just how great she is now and what her potential is. She is not over hyped like Nandi for example. No disrespect to her either, but she's more about showmanship, still very good at her craft. But Yoyoka is just humble and doesn't mess around. She just gets down to business and lets her skills speak for themselves. Too many well respected people, musicians, teachers, etc. in the industry have continually sat in awe of her talent!

I'm not a musician, so asking this question from a place of ignorance - Andrew, do you regard Yoyoka's drumming as "astonishing " because it is coming from a child of 11, or would it still be astonishing if it came from an adult with, say, 10 years' experience? With thanks if you have time to share your thoughts on this.

Hi Kamal. Good question. I've taught hundreds of people and been gigging for a long time. She's just simply very good regardless of age. I would love to hear her live to hear the internal mix and volume. But basically a very high level player regardless of age.

@@AndrewRooneyDrums - Thank you, great to hear your thoughts. I think she's amazing, and the sheer joy she exudes when she's playing is contagious!

I was made aware of her keyboard-playing 'big sister' yesterday! 😀 There's a video of Yoyoka drumming the same song, too! 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aonWiqh-l72Ni80
