Jojo Mayer guest lesson and interview - Drum Expo 2013

[@hanbo123]

JoJo is an amazing player, teacher, and human being. Can learn so much from him!

[@baz4drum]

A beautiful tribute to a great man. Thank you JoJo. You are a true "keeper of the flame" for this knowledge.

[@frankburdodrums8984]

You are fantastic fine sir. That is the key to the Moeller technique. This helped me and I'm sure others. R.I.P. Jim Chapin you were incredible. Thank GOD he made some videos.

[@bobbyboygaming2157]

I know this might sound like bullshit, but that "don't show the inside of your hand" bit was like the last piece of the puzzle for me lol. So glad I watched this! Thanks for the upload.

[@lancemeliota9364]

wow this video opened up so much potential for me

[@stephanemontangero240]

At 4 oclock in morning? this shooting is a very big master lesson...Thank you

[@joshuamaddox9771]

Very useful. Thanks. I will spend the next 10 years (at least) trying to apply this.

[@mr_guy661]

Such an awesome guy

[@FrancoSattamini]

You gotta love Jojo! Way to go, man! Pay back and pay forward! Peace!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

What made Jim great is he saw no STARS. I was a nobody drummer at NAMM when Jim was very old and he was sitting alone behind his pad. I walked up and BOOM...he starts teaching and demonstrating like I was taking a private lesson. I was taken back by this because I didn't know who he was at the time. Clearly, if this old guy was "somebody" he wouldn't be talking to ME right? Wrong...Steve Smith walks on over and no difference...THAT is a different cat!

[@Lampadina_fulminata]

i don t care about the year... thank jojo for this free good knowledge... perfect explaniation of moeller

[@umdiscodevinil]

the left hand traditional grip made it all click, and i tried to transfer that to my matched grip. thanks

[@pfallasro]

Jojo is great, I really like the way he is .... such an example :)

[@sgkaran]

Thank you JoJo …. You're a true GREAT.

[@vanomaden]

Fantastic interview. I remember the dinner...

[@palesama]

thanks for your time Jo Jo and gang GBU

[@Dimadrumsable]

Outstanding scientist practitioner

[@chuckhervey2153]

it seems as though Jojo did this tribute before he went to the recording of Aaron Spears Beyond the Chops dvd.

[@piotrnazarewicz8188]

[@davestrawn6198]

It says Drum Expo 2013

[@JustusVidyo]

how else would you get light in the room?

[@Tdawgindahouse]

He might have uploaded it after the video was made. Possibly a long time :/

[@LittleMAC78]

Who did the subs for this video? It's 'Moeller Technique' not 'modern'...

[@beatriceb4013]

Maestro

[@artiszerevan2095]

nice

[@francescotoni26]

Master

[@Bradftb01]

I love that the fridge is just open.....

[@user-wh6sp6st8s]

It's a glass door

[@mr_guy661]

His English is really good too

[@JesseP.Watson]

Great but, as in the Chapin (long) video, it's a struggle to get the traditional grip sequence of movements. Here Jojo describes the right in detail - enough to grasp properly - and then says "and the left is very similar" and does two slow rotations of the stroke without detailing. ...But from where I'm sitting the left isn't similar at all, it's completely different being that the hand starts palm up as opposed to palm down on the right - giving a very different logic to the wrist popping up (difficult to work out how to make that actually count in the whip since the wrist is bending laterally through the stroke) - and then the stick is being 'pushed up' in the preparation almost straight out from the shoulder to raise the elbow - very different to me from the natural raising rotation of the elbow on the right. Mmm. Getting it... but they do seem very different. in fact the only real similarity is that the elbow is dropped to initiate the stroke. Taken me a long time to begin to work out what is really supposed to be happening on the left.

[@mereluft]

Great lesson! But you forgot to close the fridge..

[@howardmanley3388]

Not much light in the room ?

[@blakerussell6495]

Thought it said "John Mayer"

[@roncheungdrums]

Why does the video say 2013? He mentions Chapin dying days ago, but that was in 2009.

[@CamiloMoyaBaterista]

Better than colaiuta

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

dis du dat get the ideer :P

[@howardmanley3388]

JIM who?

[@LongLiveGameplay]

3:46 back in the WHAAAAAT?

[@midinerd]

hell yeah! 3:54

[@eelamite]

imagine a film, like even just a short film with jojo and jim carrey in it, like they both perform a song together at a trainstation or something and jim paints around it or something.. i know what sounds super corny but they could pull it off, if it sounds corny that's just me saying it badly LOL

[@fickaful123]

[@WinkSmileWave]

0:00 Jojo needs to think about his entire life before he plays!!!

[@xcodychaosx]

All these blankets have saved my life xD

[@carlosmacmartin4205]

Nice explanation and demonstration. But way too many motions involved to execute an accented single stroke note. Nothing wrong with a forte volume/ wrist turn single stroke.

[@kolobcanyon8920]

I think I need to change my fulcrum to my third finger

[@goseeaboutagirl]

+Kolob Canyon so worth it man weckl recommends it too

[@btownshreds1]

My thing has always been, how can you control rudiments playing like this? This technique doesnt make sense to me, although if there was a way to play that loose I need it. I have tennis elbow.

[@HrSamstag]

Release hand from any tension, dip finger tops into a glass of water, throw water away from you. This is the way your hand must feel when playing this kind of moeller technique. Start practicing from here again.

[@theelement6255]

spaghetti arms. think in those terms

[@maxwellflanders]

Someone left the mini fridge open

[@howardmanley3388]

Never mind Jim Chapman sorry

[@遠藤修-d8f]

冷蔵庫の扉が開けっ放しですよ

[@midinerd]

interlace dem shiiits

[@DanielLoboPhotography]

Enoying dust spot on the lens!! Clean it before filming an interview!

[@farshimelt]

Almost as anoying as enoying.

[@killmoreturtles]

Jojo: " Those 15 minutes of lessons from Jim changed my life" Also Jojo: : " I can't explain everything in 15 minutes, so if you want to learn the techniques necessary, please buy my book Ugh, I could never be a drum salesman, just like you could not pay me to do drum solos in front of people. . it just makes me cringe. I get that these people are no longer in the studios getting pad, but the fact they are all selling their books on how THEY drum, it just makes me cringe. If you love drumming, it will come to you , eventually. Just do your thing and let the drumming come to you. It may take a long time, but it will be your own style

[@farshimelt]

You can spend years waiting for it "to come to you" or, you can find a teacher who can cut the time by years. It's easy to get stuck & waste years when you don't know how to do what you want to do. Mayer wasn't selling his book, he was just saying there's a fuller explanation on his DVD, which if you actually practice what he teaches, will make you a better drummer. I say this from 67 yrs. of experience. Don't let you ego ruin your development.
