Drum Teacher Reaction & Analysis: Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain / Drum Covered by YOYOKA

[@davidtollefson8411]

She is fairly incredible, not just imitating Bonham but adding her own touches. Her enthusiasm and skill is simply unbeatable. She just turned 13!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100% David

[@MadScientist267]

Fairly? Heh when you really think about what we're actually seeing in the big picture, this is nothing short of absolutely amazing.

[@remnantsofasoundblast]

FAIRLY incredible? Ok Lol

[@bostermanp]

She's 13 now, she moved to Oakland, California, with her family. And she's learning english and a she's learning how to read and write music. She's a sensation in her school and is perforning/studying with the bigger guys.... So the Perfect Storm is building up. Get ready!

[@HareDeLune]

I knew it was either twelve or thirteen now. I try to keep up with her vlogs as well. Thanks!

[@HareDeLune]

Yeah, my biggest regret is that I won't be alive to see what she's doing when she gets to my age.

[@bostermanp]

@@HareDeLune take it as it is, enjoy and don't do the math!!🙂

[@HareDeLune]

@@bostermanp I agree!

[@denniseldridge2936]

I'll bet she's teaching there already as well haha.

[@ros8737]

Nailing it to a point where it just looks like an easy to do routine. Genius wiring in that kid’s brain.

[@benjamindoverr3455]

Same thought.

[@halweiss8671]

And from the brain her limbs.

[@BostonBrian324]

It's amazing to think she only listens to songs a few times before she plays it and records but, like everything else she covers, she takes total ownership of this song. What I mean is she looks like the original drummer that has played it hundreds, if not thousands, of times before. It's her effortless demeanor and the precision of her timing and force that blows me away. It brings tears to my eyes...TEARS OF JEALOUSY!!!

[@Neil-Aspinall]

I've been following this young lady for a while and I would go a far to say that she is one of the world's top drummers!

[@namorlam]

Hi Andrew, I'm really happy that you commented on this excellent Yoyoka cover, I was looking forward to your comments. Yoyoka is a sacred drum monster. Andrew your channel is fantastic.

[@kevindohn6776]

This is insane ! How can someone that young be that good ? and the age gap and culture gap of a young Japanese girl even being aware of Led Zeppelin shows how great drumming crosses barriers and speaks to all kinds of drummers !

[@Richard.Cabeza]

This is your best reaction to Yoyoka,,because you can truly appreciate the difficulty.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Richard!

[@chrisegbertky]

It is a very good (after another view GREAT) reaction but my very favorite reaction was when you did her at 7yo covering ONYX by Senri Kawaguchi. You were 😓 😟 😰 nervous she might crash and 🔥 burn! Live gig in a bar with a pretty complicated tune by a very young drummer! W O W ! Not only did YOYOKA nail it so did you! My all time favorite Andrew Rooney reaction to YOYOKA!

[@benjamindoverr3455]

Not only did our Yoyoka NAIL this difficult Bonham song, it looked like a cake-walk for her. She is truly awesome. (and I think she just turned 13, btw).

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Benjamin! Nailed it

[@glenkelley6799]

Her birthday is in Oct., so yes, turned 13 recently now in Oakland, CA.

[@springy-2112]

It's lovely to see an occasional smile amongst the concentration. It a reminder that Yoyoka is actually human! Not a being from a highly superior planet. We can all be forgiven for our amazement when it comes to this young drummer. So uplifting. ✌️❤️🤗

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good Springy! Wow

[@d05wtt]

I don’t think it’s concentration. This is too easy for her. I’ve seen her play more difficult pieces. If you look, she keeps sneaking peeks to…who I’m assuming is her father or someone of authority in her life. The smiles and the “silliness” in this clip seemed more forced. She looks like she’s pouting. I’ve seen enough clips of her to notice the difference.

[@randyfleury3473]

She never disappoints. Been watching her since she was practically a baby. Wow!?! I'm a 71yr old rock lover and drummer. Thx lil lady

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Awesome Randy

[@impishmiss]

Just wow! This girl is dam flawless ❤️

[@helenlig323]

It’s such a pleasure to see her growing and being a normal (!) teenager, and hearing you appreciate her, especially in the fine details. It’s so weird to me that I actually engage in your commentary, and I never held a drumstick in my life. You are a really good teacher!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌🙏

[@jairdabrini]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I'd like your input on the fills at 1:50 and 5:38. It's to fast for me to keep up, even when slowed down to 0.75x speed. The Drummer is Thomas Leitner. Maybe you can provide an explainaition how a drummer like him only has 2700 views on his video and 174 likes?

She did a “When the Levee Breaks” cover as well recently

[@jimbaquirin5688]

Would love to hear her version… 😊

[@wayne00k]

Been watching this young lady since she placed in "Hit Like A Girl"... at 9 years old. She IS my favorite drummer ever

[@JustAskingAndCurios]

It's a cover WITH her appropriate interpretations. THAT's what makes her so good. BTW her father sound and video mixing allows us to fully appreciate her "sound".

[@chrisegbertky]

IMO Mr. Akifumi really did a great job here and on When the Levee Breaks recently. He is a trained visual artist 🎨 and multi instrumentalist who also happens to be an excellent recording engineer 😀!

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

This is so amazing that if you wouldn't have stopped it to analyze I would've forgotten to breathe for much longer. Thank you!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

You're very welcome! Yes I loved it Scott

[@HareDeLune]

Watching this, it finally hit me why they call her the "Hokaido Hammer". Because she freakin' *NAILS* it every damn time! By the way Andrew, it came out in an interview that she learns most of her covers and can nail them in about an hour (not making this up!). The more difficult covers can take her up to "three hours". o_0 By the way, you still haven't reacted to her cover of 'Blurred Lines' (more cowbell!). You really, really need to react to that one. I'd finance it if I could, believe me.

[@jerrenpentance]

I love the way she doesn't push or slack on the beats. Very tempting sometime.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

All over it!

[@calnative4904]

Yoyoka also just posted When the levee breaks, she’s awesome.

[@BenjWarrant]

The transition from the samba back to the shuffle with a drum roll in between is the equivalent of coming round the on-ramp at full speed and inserting yourself into slow-moving traffic without locking the brakes!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA! Love it

[@markmilner842]

I think it’s great that you have a Yoyoka play list. She’s such a terrific young drummer - and not just “for her age”. I always like watching your reviews, analyses & covers. Even though I’m not a drummer myself (I play bass), this is one of my favourite channels. Happy to be a subscriber. Great job, Andrew!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you Mark!

[@KansaSCaymanS]

It’s interesting that you noticed subtle details like where she’s hitting on the cymbal, because I’m pretty sure she’s still learning and remembering these songs by ear and not sheet music. 👍😎

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Crazy town! It's a subtle change

[@donnelson6694]

One of my all time favorite Zeppelin songs. Great cover from Yoyoka.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Mine too!

[@faronrich9381]

Thank you for explaining why people in the music industry loved Led Zeppelin. I was a teen during LZ's heyday and loved LZ until I heard LZ ad nauseam. So while I enjoyed Yokoko's covers, it was when you explained what she was doing that I heard the songs differently and now can listen to Led Zeppelin again. Again thanks.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

This was amazing!! Bonham sounds like he's using a wood block to me. But I dont know any more than what I've picked up from air drumming this tune for 40+ years. The young lady slayed this!!❤

[@andrewplumb6544]

Hi Andrew, really enjoyed this reaction. Seems Yoyoka's 'sprinkles' worked again. Someone alse observed that John Bonham never got to play this live. Jason has done live versions but does not seem comfortable with it. A very good jazz drummer once remarked that a good drummer needs to be at home with latin rhythms. Yoyoka 'got' this one for sure. Thanks.

[@DavidGatto]

She is really relaxing and grooving.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Indeed David!

[@Pharphette]

Good to have some context to her genius. I’m more impressed now.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great to hear

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

Nice to see honest review, that it's a drum lesson. Good video.

[@FUBAR1986]

I love her interpretation of this song that I’ve added it to my playlist… her talent is undeniable and she looks so completely comfortable with it. As a drummer, who plays mostly big band, I could only dream of having as good of foot as her as we know in big band music the bass drum is more about accents.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good Dominic!

[@garyalleccia2793]

Amazing young talent. Thanks for sharing Andrew. I love playing drums and I will never, regardless of how many years I may live, ever play that song correctly. Kudos to the kid.

[@sonicart1808]

Yoyoka is awesome.....accurate breakdown Andrew, this is a difficult piece to execute well like Yoyoka did, thanks for the video.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@halweiss8671]

Do we know how many takes it took Bonham to do this? Did he get it in one take? We only hear the completed project, and I don’t think it was ever performed live.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Monster track! 🤯

[@kevindohn6776]

In the age of computer and electronic music and DJays, Thanks to Yoyoka for keeping the old school tradition of learning how to play music on a real instrument like we did in the olden days, and taking it to a level of greatness already at such a young age ! Yoyoka congratulations on being such an awesome drummer from an old drummer up in Canada ( speaking of Canada, I hope youll do a Rush song or two ( or 3...4....5..ect.. ) for us, Thanks for another great video Andrew

[@chrisegbertky]

She did YYZ a few years ago. I would love it if she tackled Tom Sawyer before I join the choir invisible! Let us hope so. She is truly remarkable!

[@tomtompkins7546]

It's interesting that Andrew talks about limb independence. I consider learning this song a watershed moment in my drum life. It was when I truly felt that I had achieved limb Independence. When I could put that high hat open into the beat where it belonged, I knew I was on to something.

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

Shido just dropped his drum cover of Yes - Roundabout on his channel. On the one hand - what an absolutely incredible family... Talk about good family bonding time...! On the other hand - in a few years when he is a teen and wants to play gigs... I wonder if he will be playing Yoyoka's signature drum kit... That might be a humorous sibling rivalry thing in the future... hehe Until then, it's just cool to watch them both grow and have fun.

[@tomtompkins7546]

On her original video, I left a comment praising her technique, tone, and feel. I called them perfect. Somebody left a comment calling my comment stupid. That guy was mean.

[@franco28stl]

[@semprini77]

Ha ha, I had a similar reply to one of my comments over there. Self-appointed experts get caught up in pedantry and miss the point entirely. Keep up your enthusiasm, Yoyoka really is that good!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I love the idea of frustrated people trying to troll her videos. Utterly pointless. And the fact this is a very young person still finding her way... Just makes them look very VERY sad.

[@chrisegbertky]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums as the kids say OH SNAP!

[@firewall2302]

Not a drummer myself so this is just based on what I've seen on videos, but on the 3-part independence being harder than the 4-part: it IS a variant Purdie Shuffle so my understanding is Andrew's absolutely right about that.

[@sanchezzz1]

Back in the day I was loving Steely Dan's Home at Last with Purdie, so I practice it until I've got it down as well as I could get a grp on the great Bernard ! Then Fool in the rain comes into my life and I'm all oh I can do this(because well ya know) then I'm playing it with my band and well laughing was the theme of the day. Look forward to your version.

[@ta_ma_tu4722]

I had no interest in Bonham drumming until I found out about Yoyoka. After listening to Yoyoka's performance, I became interested in Bonham. Bonham's sense of rhythm is clearly different from other drummers in every performance. I've listened to Yoyoka and Bonham's performances repeatedly, and I feel that the two drummers are slightly different, but each has a special groove feeling.it's a special great groove feeling.

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

How many comments do I need to scroll down, before I see... "More cowbell"? Great stuff, Yoyo and ARD

[@markadams7328]

Please allow me to reiterate what Andrew said early on: She did this with ONE take!!!

HI MT THE HAMMER SHES NAILED THIS ,AS YOU SAID ITS A REAL BAR-STEWARD OF A GROOVE PS A FEW DAYS LATER SHES RECORDED WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, AGAIN NAILED, AND YESTERDAY SHES RECORDED VOLFPACK AGAIN EPIC YOU WILL REELY DIG THE GROOVE ON IT.

[@michaelirons5662]

cheers here's to the next yoyo vid

[@shadowbane527]

What's funny is that I found this after sending the isolated Bonham track to a friend and commenting that even in my days of "active" drumming, I could never quite get the main shuffle down, but I can still totally pull off the.. polyrhythmic-ISH? ride part, so im glad that someone else agrees that it's easier lol

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

WAAAAAY EASIER

[@bryanhallman8183]

Actually, there's a bit where she breaks her right stick, and her reaction to it. It was pretty funny.

[@k-matsu]

I was wondering when you would get around to viewing this one. Really impressive especially on the break. The original has a multilayered percussion track so it is hard to tell what Bonzo is playing in the "main track". There are steel drums over the top which create a lot of the same "tonality" that Yoyoka is getting from the cowbell. If you listen carefully though, there DOES seem to be something else in the samba riff added to the snare and hat. To me, at least, it sounds like a whiskey bottle (a la Procul Harum's Whiskey Train)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Loved it!

[@tibetbill]

For Yoyoka, this has probably been the most requested song by her fans. She finally did the song. It almost appeard effortless for her as you correctly note that it is a very difficult cover to drum to. It is a simple pattern, but a difficult groove to lay down. As you noted, Yoyoka put her own spin on the song as she has done on a number of songs she has covered. For example, kzbin.info/www/bejne/goKqm4WNrMagd6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnaloaRmgJx6pck At this stage of the game, her age no longer matters. She has mastered playing a drum kit and she is one of the few who can play in a studio and up on stage. The sad truth for a number of these young musicians is that they will most likely never achieve the fame or recognition they deserve. Yoyoka came to the promise land, but the infastructure of the promise land which cranked out hits for decades was being dismalntled in the 1980s. This is why the hits, yes, oldies of yesteryear are played over and over to adnausium. The music the entertainment industry is dead, no soul or creativity to it. Like when you look at Michael Jackson behnd the curtain, the music industry wanted you to believe that his songs were all hs creation which we know they were not, not that it matters. He was incapable of engineering the songs which were attributed to him. Even if he actually wrote songs which were attributed to him, the 'hits' which most poeple know as hits have to be played over and over again mainly by professonal musucians, in a studio, to get the songs right. Even when they are right, some of the highly engineered songs tank and are rejected or not accepted by the public. Then comes the work in the studio when you have working tracks. This is an example of when you are laying down the different takes on the track. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2iwpKSVZ8h3iJY Then it is mixed by the sound engineer where it is all put together and turned into a hit. How many more tracks did it take to put together the backing track? kzbin.info/www/bejne/boGtnoVtnJWDY5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIa4i56gbN2YjKs Somewhere on youtube is some of the sessions where the Ronnett were in the studio doing numerous takes of the song. None of this is for free. It is impossible to do this in one take. Now, if it has already been done by others to get it to this point, yes, you can do it in one 'take'. However, you cannot do it in one take without listening to it several times. But this is why she is a professonal musician. There are a lot of world class bands out there, but not getting any help or recognition. Mainstream music has no interest in them. This is what mainstream music is interested in. This is the garbage they want to shove down your throat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaXQlWB5odV9rqM This is one of Yoyoka's buddies playing drums in this band. She is the best drummer in the world. Best drummer period. She is, also, a studio drummer and a stage drummer, but the music industry has not much interest in Senri Kawaguchi. Compare the music put out by this group to the crap put out by Taylor Swift as she autotunes her way into what? By the way, this is not said to detract from Yoyoka as you can put Yoyoka, in the same room, in the same conversation with Senri. Senri has more experience that Yoyoka, but they are at the point where they are almost equals. What the music industry does not get or understand is that the vast majority of people want to hear real music. The problem is that the music industry is catering to a group, a subset of people who will pay money to listen to this trash. Once they get tired of listening to this barely musical music, maybe, they will revert back to cranking out hits. I just hope Yoyoka has the patience to deal with the music industry is. Case in point, look at Alexey Poblete. She was the first winner of HLAG. The entertainment indsutry did pick her up and look how they treated her. She is local to the US. She is, also, asian. Plus, she is very fluent in English. I just wonder how they are going to treat Yoyoka. Yoyoka clearly got slapped in the face by Dave Ghrol by him not inviting her to the Taylor Hawkins tribute. Look at the talent of this girl. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWaoZIejfqZsn8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/d327i2trgpuaeJI This is what Yoyoka has to do if she wants ot make waves in the music industry. This has all the elements of an 'engineered' hit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYaaoIVjh5d7d7s She just needs to be up on stage with musicians like on this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6i4o4efe7ahi6s

[@wayne7725]

Agreed.

[@lesbrunswick5137]

Yes, it's really sad what has happened to the music industry in LA. Rick Beato has a whole channel that is focused on this and trying to set things back on a more positive direction. On the other hand, Republic Records, one of the biggest studios, is pushing Angelina Jordan, who certainly makes real music, so that gives me some hope. And Ted Gioia, who has been writing about this problem for years, says that recently the talented musicians have been developing their own independent ecosystems.

[@tibetbill]

@@lesbrunswick5137 For the time being, rock is effectively dead. What is left is nothing but oldies, which the industry call classics. The record labels, the majors are making more in revenue than they ever have. The money is not coming from lousy entertainers like Bounce or the talentless Taylor Swifts, but the record catalogues. The recording industry is just sitting back and raking in money, basically, doing nothing. They are interesting in the music catalogues of various rock bands. Currently, the hottest catalogue out there is the Queen catalogue. Thirty percent of the airtime revenues is coming from airtime of the Queen catalogue. Forget the Beatles, Michael Jackson, the hot ticket in rock classics is Queen, then Journey. Just listen to any radio station, even though they claim that they do not play the same song twice in a day, how many Queen songs or Journey songs get played on a radio station each day. Rick Beato does not have the horsepower to move the needle in terms of bringing back rock. I really like Rick. But the problem is that the record labels, what is left o them are not going to invest the coin into cranking out albums. You look at the average album, from the past, what does it have in terms of chartable hits? One, maybe two songs? Some have more, but that is rare. Even back in the day, do you have any idea of how much it cost to develop a song to where it could be heard on the radio? Most bands in terms of live performances suck. Many of the bands you have heard over the years could not play the studio version of their cover hits if their life depended on it. It is not hard to access the talent level of musicians when they are up on stage. Kind of like what they call augmented sound or backup supplementary vocals nowadays, meaning that a band or a singer is lip singing to a damn recording. So much for autotune. As long as they have this, what appears to be, an endless revenue stream, they will milk it for what it is worth. The newer generations are already moving away from older rock recordings. Once the revenue starts to decline, panic will set in. Then, maybe, they will stop pushing the soulless music and talentless musicians down our throats and go back to the way things were. Hopefully.

Honestly I think it's more to do with the band someone likes most as to who they think the better drummer is, Zeppelin has tons more fans than Rush so Bonham is usually picked as number one more often, albums sold proves that, an unfair way to look at it but it is what it is

[@butters395]

he should take a listen to BOW WOW WOW....great band... considering their ages at the time....love peace and harmony has sick drumming 😉👍

She makes it look so easy. I’m a guitarist and have tried drums and they are not easy at all. I’ve always had trouble with the bass pedal. I gave up. 😅. Btw she is 13 now

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Richard!

[@Calinicus72]

She did a cover of When the Levee Breaks. Can someone request that? Oh, wait…😅

[@grimmj0ker]

Can we all agree that at this point she is a professional drummer?...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup! Depends how people define 'professional musician. Most of us define it as 'you get paid'

[@ThePallidor]

Has been since age 9 at least.

[@wayne7725]

Agreed.👍

[@shyoo37]

ありがとうございます！

[@markfcoble]

Hard work? Dedicated? Studies? She's not lucky. She works hard and practices. Over night success!

[@snidelywhiplash]

I'm very far from a drumming expert, but I know that it's tough to keep time like she's doing here.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Very tricky song

[@davidteller7681]

If there was ever a 'natural'...

[@alfonsogutierrez1392]

Jeff Porcaro borrowed from this one and to others for his Rosanna beat. Never mind, you do mention it towards the end 😀👍😂

[@derekdangerfield187]

Too bad you cut her video short. You missed her outtake.

[@alex-rv-uk]

The out take you mentioned was on her "When the Levee Breaks " video

[@jamesrideout8270]

Andrew, thanks for your posts and reactions. Please check out Yoyoka’s cover of What is Hip? By Tower of Power.

[@meltorment949]

wow !

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup!

[@nomusician4737]

I honestly think there are a lot of myths about drumming. As a bassist the thing where I hear/feel the difference between a great and an amazing drummer is a straight 4/4 where the is absolutely no hiding. That's where you really can feel the difference of someone like Dave Weckl and your normal great drummer. The best 4/4 I've ever played with is Tomas Haake of all people. He's not only an insane metal drummer but as amazing as a pop-drummer. Who knew?!

[@wayne7725]

I still say it's the magical sox.🙃

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤣👌

You should react to Véhémence - Un Contre Mille (drum recording) next.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙏

[@jairdabrini]

@AndrewRooneyDrums I'd like to hear your input on the fills at 1:50 and 5:38. It's too fast for me to keep up even when slowed down to 0,75x speed. The drummer is Thomas Leitner and Véhémence plays Medieval Black Metal (from France). I don't understand how a drummer with that lvl of skill only has 2960 views and 173 likes. Also the music is much more enjoyable than most death metal with more technically skilled drummers (imho). I wish more ppl encouraged him to post more recordings as he only've made 1 upload.

You missed the end of her video.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

OH NO!
