Thank you, Jojo! For me these very difficult times, not just for music but for almost everything else. There is no honesty left - commercialism has spread like a cancer and kills any purity that is left...

Jojo is like a walking encyclopedia of music history and science, with focus on the percussive arts

Because he has a huge liturgical hole in his theory.

I love Jojo's playing. He's a master technician. More so, though, is that I love how important authenticity of expression is to him, and how much thought he puts into being honest about his art and not slipping into clichés. I think a collaboration between Jojo Mayer and Mike Watt would be fascinating.

Academic jazz has become as formulated as Classical.

knowing how good jojo was when he was younger only to play the way he does now is kind of interesting. He's not like steve gadd or dave weckl,. Those guys kept with their styles and never changed. Jojo does some incredible stuff with what he does and in terms of his interest in electronic hybrid live music I like that he's into it. I've always been a fan of electronic music and as a drummer it's hard to find people who will listen to more absurd and experimental music. In terms of jojo mayer as an educated player to learn from, the skills he shows that interest me the most is when he's doing less as more instead of his current fascination with the modern electronic styles of music with his band. The way he plays is unique in that he is well studied and understands dynamics too well using that to create a medium of music often going unnoticed in the typical rock band indie rock rap and pop music styles where players always hit hard and nothing less, nothing more.

I don't always agree [entirely] with Jojo Mayer or like all his music but... it is always nice and inspiring to listen what he has to say.

Not sure I agree with his take, but Jojo is always interesting to listen to.

music is subjective like everything in life you come in contact with. as along as you get it, it doesn't matter how you got it.

G.G. Allin was one of the greatest artists of our time. Jo Jo Mayer is a great technician, & unusually for such accomplished player also has great 'feel'. I never really understood Nerve. So true about jazz, & the obliteration of authentic music through economic means.

I think I get what he’s talking about. There are a lot of formulas now in western music, kind of best practises, from the diatonic scale, the rhythm backbeat etc. It’s good to explore outside of those concepts, or the songwriting ones like songs should be max X minutes long and the chorus must start within Y seconds. There’s is also the basic tricks like the encore he talks about, using fire, having a backdrop, getting the audience to clap, call and response and more. I loved when I came across J Dilla, that just ignored the quantised feel in rap and soul. And created wicked grooves.

Humanity concerned with humanity, in singularity, as in Oneness, forging new paths, constructing higher peaks at the crossroads of Evolution and extinction. Jojo, Architect & Alchemist, an Artist of the highest order. Pulsating elevated frequencies, leading to elevated neuro pathways & vibrations that simply did not exist before. It is not theory, it is experiential neuro-somatic euphoria, a metaphysician orchestrating with and through NERVE. (I Am biased, I had the high privilege of experiencing NERVE at Shine, 22 session in a row....) He simply does not drink from the same trough as other artists ,he discovers his own well. 👌 Pierre Teilhard De Chardin comes to mind... "Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." "Do not pray to the ashes, bring the fire." G. Mahler, thanks, I love it.🤌

Jojo Mayer is an absolute drumming legend, and I've got the utmost respect for his skills and his fearless approach to pushing the boundaries of drumming and music. That said, sometimes it feels like his interview content is a poorly arranged stream of consciousness and his inability to articulate his conceptual ideas and perspective come off as convoluted and unfocused. It's cool that he's pushing the envelope, but you've got to be able to get your knowledge and wisdom across clearly to be a teacher and visionary.

In my mind, slipknot is one of the last rock and roll bands that we've seen... They were very dangerous when they came out... Numerous arrests... Mostly because they didn't care and they pushed the boundaries. They made you listen and think differently about what popular music could be.

You can add the early Dillinger Escape Plan to that list. The small Calculating/Irony shows were lethal back then in the early 2000's....
