You need to watch her version of Stone Cold Crazy by Queen. I think she was 9. it's absolutely amazing. She is having so much fun while playing it, and kills.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

@MrGravester Thank you!

[@emanuelmota7217]

She's a MONSTER. The power, the passion, the perfect timing. And - at the end - she's not even breathing hard! LOVE Yoyoka!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Smashed it! 🤘

[@Glen.Black.]

Robert Plant said he knows where she can get a job. IMO, Yoyoka could be the drummer in any band, I'm sure you agree.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup! She's freaking awesome

[@Glen.Black.]

When her mother said she had a very uncomfortable pregnancy with Yoyoka, you have to wonder if she was practicing that double kick in her mother's womb, so she would be ready to get at it at 1.5 yo.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

LOL

[@cliffhughes6010]

Unlike so many other young drummers, Yoyoka's not saying "look at me", she's just playing the song. And her memory is phenomenal. I believe she just gives each song two or three listens and then she has it. Just awesome.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said Cliff!

[@phildupuis1084]

I’m not a drummer, but i have known Cozy Powell since the mid-70’s starting with his hit “Dance with The Devil” and moving up with Rainbow and before that Jeff Beck Group up to Whitesnake moving over to Black Sabbath and finally Splinter Group featuring Peter Green. Not to mention his solo albums. How can a drummer not know Cozy Powell?

[@ronlawrence4706]

RIP the two cymbals she killed during this performance. She showed them on her IG.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA! Awesome Ron

[@southface06]

From what I read, Cozy used to kill cymbals on a regular basis, so also in that respect, she paid tribute to his legacy.

Absolutely solid as a rock, nothing rushed, frantic or sloppy as we often see but forgive due to someone’s age. Phenomenal once again. 👍

Cozy Powell had a single on the radio called Dance With The Devil. She has talent just oozing out of her.

[@powerface71]

Some may laugh at me, but I was a working guitarist for almost 35 years and never came close to having a drummer even close to her level of talent. I am not kidding when I say, this young Lady is on my list of 20 Favorite drummers of all time! Yoyoka will be a super-star someday!

[@RedSinter]

Recently in another KZbin by a Drummer I assume Jazz who is producing Documentaries concerning Rock and Roll greats of the 70's an on put up a Zeppelin cover by Yoyoka and his exchanges with Ian Pace on her and his giving us her history and playing. She confessed she can read music, but hates it. She learns by ear listening several times before her playing. When she's ready her dad sets up the camera and they go for it. One Shot no editing. Boom!

[@RedSinter]

And I thought this cover was incredible, not that any of her others were less, but she seems to have changed up her Pearl Kit and gotten the tune of the whole really dialed in and set a new bar for her clarity and skill.

[@sanchezzz1]

Yoyoka has done such an amazing job with Cozy's work that it has inspired me to dust off my dvd of Rainbow's live in Munich 1977 ! ...and you sir have a new sub.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching and subbing :)

[@mvunit3]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums - Andrew, do yourself a HUGE favor and watch Rainbow Live in Munich 1977, and also take a listen to Cozy's solo album "Octopus".

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

And the “Over the Top” solo album, where Cozy plays his trademark to be “Over the Top” based on Tjaikovskis 1812 ouverture.

[@garygraham2513]

This style of rock is Not in my purview, but that does not diminish this young Lady's talent. At age 11, I was lucky to put 1 foot in front of the other without tripping over something. I did get my first kit at that time, but I certainly didn't sound like this. She is definitely a ☆☆☆☆☆ chopper.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

Cozy Powell was a monster rock drummer, a legend, playing in iconic bands such as Rainbow and Black Sabbath. He died in the 90's from a car crash. Rainbow was the solo project of Ritchie Blackmore, the founder of Deep Purple. One of the four bands who created hard rock and heavy metal. The singer was the legendary Ronnie James Dio, who later also joined Black Sabbath. Dio is revered as the best rock/metal singer of all time. He passed away from cancer 10-ish years ago. This song you reacted to is from 1977 and is an absolute hard rock classic.

[@mike05hdfatboy]

Don't forget the Michael Schenker Group....

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the info Petar!

[@pault1964]

Died on the M 4 in the uk

[@kdfox2007]

Here footwork is the best. It’s not just that she is hitting the drum, the polyrhythmic beats coming from her feet are fully complementing the drums and cymbals.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good Kevin!

[@brianlingg5518]

Yoyoka posted a photo on her Instagram showing that she cracked two cymbals making this video. She hits hard!

Cozy Powell also played with Jeff Beck on 2 early albums; Rough and Ready (1971) and Jeff Beck Group (1972). He would go on to play for 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜 on their 2nd album Rising (1976), On Stage (1977), Long Live Rock 'n Roll (1978) and Down to Earth (1979), which all are considered classics. Would also play for Whitesnake (Slide it In - 1984) and 3 later Black Sabbath albums; Headless Cross (1989), Tyr (1990) and Forbidden (1995). Also in Emerson Lake & Powell (1986) as Carl Palmer was with Asia. He has also played for Robert Plant, The Brian May Band, Gary Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen. Andy, checkout Cozy's solo album "Octopus", and various live footage of "Rainbow Live in Munich 1977" :). - Btw "Ritchie Blackmore" (Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow) is mostly known for co-founding, and playing guitar for "Deep Purple". It was a VERY sad day for me when Cozy died tragically in a car accident (he was known to like fast cars and motorcycles). And "Kill the King" has been covered by quite a few Thrash and various Metal bands. So it makes sense that this kid chose this track, and Yoyoka is killin' it! Cozy's torch passes onto the next generation :'). P.S. the Monty Python reference was hilarious XD

[@davecasper4792]

[@emanuelmota7217]

Agreed! Not only is Yoyoka a fabulous drummer, but she knows EXACTLY what to add to a cover without going overboard - she improves it - every time. That kind of judgement and taste and imagination are, to me, her most impressive skills.

@KellyMallory I'll assume that this was supposed to be clever. It wasn't. I didn't in any way suggest that she wrote this. If you could comprehend what you read, you'd know that, and that my comment states that she understands the music and has the technique down. Also, if you were being serious and not attempting to be a sarcastic buffoon, the title of the video clearly states that it's a cover.

[@KellyMallory]

@@papawoody9597 I love this video by Yoyoka and am seriously impressed by her skill and drive.

Good discussion point Andrew, clarity is something to be achieved. With it we can develop subtlety and refinement.

Andrew! I hate to bug you but thanks for responding to my request for you to take a look at Yoyoka's cover of Speed King. I know you probably have other songs ahead of it but I am really looking forward to you checking it out. Her speed and accuracy are just unbelievable. Hope you can get to it. Thanks, Randy Gardner

Absolutely great drumming. My only concern was how high her snare hand gets i’m almost afraid she’d hit her head, lol

Simply AMAZING!!! Go, Yoyoka... GO!
