[@CesarSalazarDrums]

Bro, still watching on 2024

[@killeroctian]

Oh god damn.....I think this is the best Jojo video I've seen. And I've seen about 75 of them.....I'm gonna steal some of the beats for my drum solo I'm gonna do at my talent show :)

[@cndlpwr]

Incredible hi-hat work and perfect ghost notes. My hero!

[@beandipss]

Unbelievable. Just stumbled upon this drummer tonight. Found my new favorite drummer as well.

[@Drumr4Jesus]

And this is why Jojo is my favorite drummer!! Wow

[@Musicaman12]

He is one amazing man... I got all the videos well 2 of them. MD05. Weapons for Modern drummer. Great stuff. I ve learned alot and still am. He is the great.

[@AromaBorealis]

That's the best house groove i've ever heard from a drummer!

[@martin84jazz]

he's so amazing... he could play for hours and hours... i'd never get bored! he can also play with only hi-hat, bassdrum and snare.. absolutely amazing drummer, like johnny rabb

[@PinoWw]

Dude, your technics and groove are amazing, love those house beats, keep up the goodwork!!!

[@3hARIS]

all the respect still in 2018!!

[@Redspy27]

The sounds he gets out of that kit are phenomenal! Briliant everytime I see him play.

[@MrBassist125]

der typ ist einfach schlagzeug krank für mich der beste schlagzeugspiele Jojo Mayer KING Respekt

[@martin84jazz]

simply wonderful

[@Sockelfreund]

That was incredible. This man understands the eletronic music more than any other!

[@oratoth666]

OH MY GOD ; I VE SEEN JOJO AT MUSICMESS '08 at the agora stage'nd it was such a great performance. beautiful to listen ...

[@Antkoff]

This is the musician and the artist. Gotta love this monster.

[@coloredCYANIDE]

ahhhh! he's doing so much on just a few parts of that drumset. I'm ashamed to have a large kit but nothing comparable to this guy's skill level. what a phenom!

[@BrownBabyJesus77]

Jojo you are the man!!! Totally Sweet!!

[@budah02921]

Wish I could have been there to witness this!

[@phishinvan]

i freakin love the sound of his signature ride. Its incredible!

[@tylercjbradshaw]

yes it is, Jojo was actually one of the developers for that snare and for the sonor jungle kit.

[@SilentBombr]

Some of the coolest drumming I've heard

[@groethej]

@drumsandskate You're right there. A true artist and genius.

[@drumogate]

Remember that he is playing a very tiny set, it's the Sonor Jungle Set with a 16" Bassdrum (he probably didn't have time to tune it), and it is just recorded with a basic video camera from top, so don't expect to hear the low frequencies ;-) I think this jam was also rather spontaneuos, just to demonstrate some new products of Sabian. Indeed there is no comparison to a live performance!

[@Longboarder140]

@alibabaolfat maybe to tighten the screw that grip the felt. sometimes i'll spin it if it gets a little too loose and i start to lose reactivity in it.

[@maximustb]

i would say this is his ultimate solution after he can do every variation you can think of every note he plays has a value to me this is a real master

[@hngodesign]

@norjansonjoe YanusDV is right. This video was recorded before the OMNI cymbal was created. Jojo based the new OMNI cymbal line off the Sabian AAX El Sabor Picante Hand Crash. Which is what he used in this video.

[@indie990]

He has just reminded me why I love playing drums.

[@AJonVolk]

he is the best i like his songs from nerve

[@milesfdrums]

@IPstixrawesume He's hitting the outside of the snare towards the rim. There's less snare because of the tension of the drum head there. It's closer to a tom type sound.

[@Drockthehouse95]

it makes me happy that guys that play as fast as him can also groove really well

[@20cYmBaLsAheaD]

oh my god... when i see this i'm so happy to see him tonight :)

[@Kurdtttt]

wow!!!! he is amazing!!! really , I dont understend how to learn play like that, he really has his own style :O I saw really many drumers, but he is really amazing! (i am drumer since 2 years)

[@k0mbutcha]

really awesome

[@noisediscotrash]

o ye! good dance groove ! jojo-respect!

[@NQTY]

I love how there's noise in the beginning and right when jojo plays that's all you can hear

[@Spiderdridri]

i say, this guy is a machine. he is UNBELIEVABLE

[@FanDezi]

i am driving mad,jesus...amazing playing

[@Classe84]

@Auldwin1 I would say its probably just the microphone that kinda cuts the sound cos of the cymbal.

[@antfreda88]

love it

[@alee6406]

omg, the moment he started hitting those first few notes on the hi hat, i knew i was in for an astonishing solo. im not worthy

[@Bosphorus92]

the sonor drums he uses are usually unbelievable, and yes the cymbals are pimpin! i'm thinking of getting the fierce ride for jazzy stuff, duno yet

[@Redspy27]

Had that feeling when I saw him live;) I was this close too stand up and trow my chair away to start dancing (it was at a clinic).

[@Zofti]

@Sammo2988 You're right. My bad. But he actually switched to omni certainly when it came out.

[@camo03]

damn what an amazing feel in his playing...

[@JasonPurcell2218]

its an elsabor picante hand crash its made for percussionists to use with the hands. Jojo found it useful for his style of playing. its really bright and has a really fast attack and decay. its a great cymbal.

[@sammocardona]

@Anonymous122131 It's a AAX El Sabor 16" Hand Crash.

[@charles4hl]

amazingly groovy

[@kangeroobru]

Fantastic

[@Redspy27]

And pretty sick. Totally agree with you. And He even has proof: Secret Weapons for the modern drummer (DVD).

[@Moog168]

@beatleguy64 no it's a Sabian El Sabor Hand Crash. Made for Latin based players but JoJo had this in his set up for almost 2 years.

[@BeauFerchaud]

thanks! I didn't know the name for it.

[@sockmug]

gotta love jojo

[@PatrickWard4]

So frickin' good.

[@Kroy5312]

My emotions while watching were in this order , first I was smiling, then I was laughing, then I started crying and threw my drums out.

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that damn valving technique gets me so does the push pull what a master the best as of now in the drumming seen

[@JoshuaBuffone]

Anyone know what snare and snare head he is using for the lower tension and lower tuned snare?

[@Anonomusturd]

Every time I see a JoJo Mayer video I end up practicing on a pillow for like an hour. That man has to have a hyperbolic time chamber or something WTF!!

[@Zofti]

@Anonymous122131 I think it's an AAX Omni-crash.

[@ViniciusCunha]

some moments looks the video was accelerated...frankfurt is the man

[@Khempejjer]

@Rajindahouse Sonor Force 3007, 10x2, I believe. It's quite cheap.

[@ApocSymph]

Seeing Mr. Mayer play is quite inspiring. No point in throwing my drums out. =P

[@Waxmess]

@TheJoshualake ad for Sabian. THIS IS SO AMAZING. Thumbs up if you are now converted to Sabian!

[@Emailpiccolo]

awesome...

[@OFODRUMS]

Haha, thats som serious compressing in the beginning;) jojo is great as always

[@MrFalobalobalob]

His technique is amazing!

[@scottik187]

that's really excellent drumming,

[@AgentOrange1969]

Jojo, einfach nur Geil !!!

[@orappaarg]

He's a HUMAN DRUM MACHINE ! AMAZING !

[@sirpigglez69]

One word. Epic.

[@dwZildj918]

Jojo Mayer!! Unbelievable!!!

[@JasonPurcell2218]

hahaha yea man along with his playing i dig jojos style

[@brycelalonde]

That is a sweet hi hat stand, does anyone know what kind it is, or how much it would cost?

[@powtheginge]

@108OneOhEight its an el sabor hand crash 16 "

[@Danielgst]

God of Drums 4 Ever

[@JasonPurcell2218]

exactly dude how could you not love the super roll hahahaha

[@ioeopep]

Bravo!!

[@sh4p31y]

@JoshuaBuffone it's custom made. search for: Guitar Center Sessions: Jojo Mayer - My Snare Drum

[@rushnerd]

Did his hi-hat break at the very end there or was it just me?

[@omg_atom]

I think it's a Sonor jungle snare. You can pick them up for around 50 pounds in the UK.

[@AstrumG2V]

I love how he pushes those blasts with his left hand 6:14. Though it doesn't have the power, it does have the insane pulsing rhythm to it. That's a rhythmatist ladies and gentlemen!

[@BeauFerchaud]

it's because of the camera mic. when you play something loud in front of the camera compared to the ambient noise... that sound in the background is going to go away.

[@Bosphorus92]

for his hi hat work does he use french grip, but when he goes to play groups of threes like he does in jungle music does he just rotate his wrist back and forth between french and american??

[@tylercjbradshaw]

Sounds like a full marching band coming from one man.......he is simply amazing......

[@Davsuh]

drum machines are so last year... we got jojo now!

[@paulwall1981]

This shows that you don't need a huge sized kit to get a big meaty sound. JoJo is a brilliant drummer. What skills.

[@torichi1]

maestraso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FierceBeats]

DW is at the Moment the best Drum Manifacturing in the World, but in a way ur right... Sonor offers a wide spectrum of Sounds its really amazing, and thats why I love my Signature Set ;)

[@JaySharp604]

I just came back to watch it a third time... what crazy independence he has.

[@123mini]

this is freakin insane!!

[@FierceBeats]

rofl, were u there? i think giant step pedal and 600 series are brilliant ...

[@RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

No one does it like Jojo!

[@berto1337]

first of all, jojo mayer is not american. he was born in Switzerland, and is not by any means a rookie. i invite you to check out his videos playing with his band nerve. he is also a beast of a jazz player. while i'm mexican and love the rep, since when did nationality have anything to do with drumming skills?

[@sergeiastrozei]

Genial. Sacate una idea...

[@Korruptionen]

7 people apparently dislike godlike drumming skills

[@xiaobin90]

we cant compare to this genius

[@Redspy27]

My exact same thoughts!

[@sebajo82]

Jojo rules!

[@Auldwin1]

At the very very end it sounds like the last beat of the bass drum changes. How is he doing this?

[@Spiderdridri]

see, this is why i need a second snare drum. what kind of snare is it btw?
