Led Boots - Yoyoka Soma at the 2023 NMW Foundation Holiday Jam

[@yoyoka_soma]

Thank you very much!!! I am honored to have played this greatest piece of music in your presence!

[@namorlam]

Yoyoka let me tell you that I am proud of you and what a good time you gave us by playing this masterful piece. And I'm a big fan of what you do.

[@jackspratt7264]

YATTA!🤘🥁

[@hiptrip99]

Kako ii zo!

[@brianflynn5355]

It's an honor for us to be able to watch you perform with a band. Keep on rockin! ❤🤘

[@jrlaudio]

I know this may be too much for your humble nature, but I think it's the other way, Yoyo. I think they were honored. Keep moving forward girl!!! We are all excited for you!

[@ph7080]

There IS NOT another person on earth like Yoyoka. She IS the Golden Child!

[@snekmeseht]

Probably the only drummer that I go out of my way to find and watch on uTube. I don't know why or what it is, but I just love listening to her play the drums. Always spot on and always makes the band sound great.

[@Rob-Yule]

It is the YOYOKA effect, or the X factor. I have been 100% hooked for years. It just makes me happy. I met her last year in LV and you would never believe she is this beast on the drums.

[@rossfromhonolulu]

Go out of your way to watch Senri Kawaguchi. She makes Yoyoka look very average, which as pro drummers go, she is very "average". Senri is really, really special! Enjoy!

[@collintam4295]

@@rossfromhonolulu Half her age.

[@OmegaTI]

@@rossfromhonolulu Yeah, but she's a 14 year old kid who is already PRO LEVEL. Wait a few more years.

[@colinbridson650]

Here the drummer is leading the band. Imagine Yoyoka’s stature in ten years time.

[@d.scottjohnstone6813]

Damn! This little lady is something to behold! ROCK ON YOYOKA! I have been with you since the beginning ("Happy"" titled, at the golden old age of 6!). Keep it coming Yoyoka and enjoy EVERY MOMENT of it! Oh!.....The warmest welcomes to you and your family. Our warmest regards from balmy Las Vegas, Nevada USA!

[@accendlearning2757]

Yoyoka, once again you’ve taken on a song that challenges your BEWILDERING abilities!! I’ve become a HUGE fan/follower! Every time I watch another video of yours, it’s as if you’re sending out a “ray of hope” for the existing world that gravely needs it! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your beautiful smile, positivity, poise & grace! SHINE ON!! Namastè, Michael…..

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

I've been watching since she was 6 years old and I never get tired of the energy. As always...well done

[@bartbarton3082]

Yoyoka, your ability to sample every vibration in the Universe at random is to put it in the poorest rich words i could find ,Astonishing and Astounding. Followed by the euphoria of being treated to the talents of a genius . You are a joy to behold by EVERY beholder.

[@Prescott-w2u]

Great performance. Yoyoka led the group. Very powerful.😎

[@henryarn]

Thank you and God bless all these incredible musicians for letting Yoyo perform with you. She is truly a special talent and letting her shine on stage. Thank you

[@taumlux3790]

💛Yoyoka✨

[@johnfrombrm]

If the Yoyoka family doesn’t THRIVE in this country, we ALL at the end.

[@jorgejorge6065]

Good work by Narada Michael with his foundation, listening to Jeff Beck's songs makes me excited. Thank you Narada

[@douglashiggins5652]

Fantastic as always she really shines when she plays with pro musicians

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

A great performance of a great piece of music and, as usual, Yokoka nailed it to perfection. Thanks for posting and cheers from the UK!

[@elliott8339]

YOYOKA a genius behind the kit. She is a joy to watch. Bravo!

[@denniseldridge2936]

Thank you, Narada, for posting this excellent tribute by all of the musicians to Jeff Beck's masterpiece. Everyone there was at their very best, and it gave us a chance to enjoy Yoyoka's mastery of the drums as well.

[@GeorgePlamolizin]

What a great band!

[@andrewowler1522]

Yoyaka looked like she was really into this, you can see it in the smile on her face.

[@colinwaldron7399]

I've watched videos of the best, from Buddy Rich, through Bonham, Baker, Porcaro, Peart, Weckl, Gadd, Colaiuta, Chambers, and many others. The way you played this, Jeff Beck would have been proud of you.

[@Scott-l1q]

I call you the "Drum Slayer " , i can only remember two bands when i heard them for the first time. Pantera as a teenager and when i heard you for the first time! 😊 keep slaying those drums!!!

[@mikegargano1015]

What a great piece❤️ Fantastic musicians. Yoyoka is where she needs to be.

[@uwrugbybale]

The joy in her face 😍

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

Just had a rough day, and this is the first vid on my feed. Thanks to Yoyoka and all the stellar musicians, I'm back on track. 🤘😎🤘

[@thelowe6393]

It's been amazing watching Yoyoka literally grow up before our eyes and blow every one away with her amazing talent/gift! Never ceases to impress beyond words. Just awesome! Thank you Yoyoka!

[@wayne7725]

That was fantastic. 🎉😊❤

[@WilliamMartin-y9o]

Several months back Yoyoka was interviewed on KRON4 in the Bay Area. The video can be found on KZbin. During the interview she said that the U.S. provided for her better opportunities to play with a larger pool of musicians of different genres than was available in Japan. This video demonstrates how she wasted no time taking on the challenge of blossoming within these genres. I have no doubt, Yoyoka, that moving from Japan and moving to the U.S. was a huge leap of faith and sacrifice for your family and you to make. America will allow you the opportunities to tap into that richly varied pool of professionals. Flourish in school and stay grounded. There are universities with premier music conservatories that'll give you a full-ride scholarship in a second.

[@EdBender]

I'm not sure if universities have much to teach her... Maybe she should apply for teaching positions 😂

[@matto9734]

Now Yoyoka has arrived in the sphere of G.O.A.T.S. Playing in front of the master(s) with such fun and proficiency is truly spectacular! She´s outright killing it, sheesh! Loving her kit ;-) I own the LP since the late 70s and it´s one of my most loved ones (as Jeff Beck always is prly my most loved guitarist R.I.P - missing him). Great musicians on stage too, loving the guitar player, pretty close to JB but doing his thing. Thank you guys for sharing!!!

[@kazsaaan]

Yoyoka is a great musician representing Japan and has a close family.

[@alansolomon5527]

That was something Yoyoka. You killed it!! Everyone loved it. Great job. 👍

[@RebuttalRecords]

Such great musicianship!

[@Aclimade]

That young lady's performance is unbelievable, and she can keep up with a band that good ... amazing.

[@rosswaring2835]

What an amazing talent. Simply amazing! ❤

[@56dinosaur]

Yoyoka does fusion. Yeah!

[@craigwilliams501]

SO GOOD! Blessings to Yoyoka and Narada and all

[@koma-1122]

YOYOKA さん凄いね！このチャンネルにこの動画がUPされるなんて信じられないようだが冷静に考えれば起こるべくして起きた現実。　　　カッコイイ～

[@d.scottjohnstone6813]

My GOD!!! I could watch this 1000 times! Rock on Yoyoka!

[@waltonbrown]

Yep, thats a keeper, wow..

[@Mme.Swisstella]

I've viewed many of her videos and this one as well as led bootscare my 2 favourites.

[@davidAll5]

great performance !

[@racebiketuner]

Great stuff!

[@mongoosegto]

You are so good Yoyoka!

[@chipmartin7608]

DAMN, she's good!!

Brilliant 🎉 still after these years, getting better and better every time she performs!

Fantastic as usual, Yoyoka is phenomenal 🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰 thanks for posting this.

[@Daniel-qw9ox]

Thanks very much Yoyoka !!!! You're the BEST of all drummer !!! Keep drumming Yoyoka I like you very much !!!😁✌️

[@bryandickerson5365]

What a killer band and such a classic tune! Led Boots was on the set list of the first rock band I played in over 40 years ago. I still love it, but can’t believe we had the nerve to attempt it. I doubt we sounded remotely this good!

[@ちゅうたろう-i4f]

POWERFUL、NICE　DRUMING！

[@ta_ma_tu4722]

超々大物のステージで素晴らしい演奏が披露できました！いよいよyoyokaが爆発するときが来た！カウントダウンが始まりました！待ち遠しくて我慢できない！

[@amandaboom3777]

Sounds very complicated, I have no knowledge but feel this was nailed! Yoyoka is amazing as always.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Fine drummer...go yoyoka!

[@daiiahi3403]

EVERTIME I watch one of Yoyoka's newest videos of her performance......she gets better and better!

[@stardaimon66]

ジェフベック本人のバンドの演奏も含めて、今まで見たライブでのLed Bootsの演奏で一番いいドラム演奏に思う。 最初は少しだけモタつき感があったが、ノリ始めてからのドライブ感は天性のものだろう。 ジェフベックとやってもらいたかった。

[@daiiahi3403]

Dang!...this band is so tight!....I could groove to them all day!

[@davidvalderrama1816]

Standing on shoulders, great job!

[@340rps]

Such a massive talent

[@huddlbud]

I was fortunate enough to see Jeff Beck play this live a couple of months before his death. Bucket list item fulfilled for me. Mr. Beck would be proud of this performance I am sure.

[@chrisegbertky]

Looks like the Hokkaido Hammer nailed Led Boots once again!

[@stevendallman8938]

Superb performance, Yoyoka!

[@markfcoble]

Very nice!

[@trevorliddle9251]

That kit deserves Yoyoka.

[@lyellclare9365]

Another really good female drummer from the fantastic japanese music factory that starts with a fabulous school music system.

[@mrb4886]

And away we go!!!!!

[@turdeaugottago114]

the young lady is absolute fire!

[@warpviix]

WOW!!!! 🔥

[@aschule5684]

Not aware of most the musicians here other than seeing Tal up there which was awesome, being a member of Jeff's band for as long as she was there was no rehearsal necessary for her I'm sure. Yoyoka is such an inspiration to watch. I've never seen her play anything that didn't have her smiling and loving it. She truly becomes the music! This was awesome 👍

[@davividavid]

I believe that is not Tal Wilkenfeld but rather Angeline Saris.

[@erichirsch583]

Wow she’s playing a much larger kit!! She’s handling this with such precision!!

[@mastorey1]

Can tell that this is one of the hardest songs she has tried to play. This is part of my era so been listening to to the boots for a long long time since it came out. The elite Fusion is what she should try to be focusing on cuz it is much more difficult than any rock and roll

[@accendlearning2757]

Agreed mastorey1. How about Billy Cobhams’ “Quadrant Four” for starters? I’m thinking *that* may challenge her chops! 🤔

[@cricketsmovie]

タムはもちろんのこと、時々入るハイハットの刻みがめちゃめちゃカッコいい。

[@yoshiyaz5882]

👍😃

[@izoleocarbajal5900]

Yoyoka is a monster !

[@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe]

Amazing. What is (or are) the time signature(s)?

[@racebiketuner]

All of them! 😉

[@penguinista]

Not only can Yoyoko sound as large as any big guy, she has superb dynamic control for jazz as well. What a phenomenon!

[@BCT611]

I remember when this vedois only had 380 veiws. Nice to the YoYo fans come out and enjoy.

[@徳治長瀬]

よよかちゃん、パワーが付いて来ましたねー！good Times聴きたいです。

[@janroelofjehosua7367]

👍👍👍

[@johndunnebacke4980]

Anyone else think if Jeff Beck was still alive ... he would be touring with Yoyoka on drums ????

[@Rob-Yule]

Fantastic video with great close-ups of YOYOKA just killing it. YOYOKA always excels when surrounded by high-level pro musicians. I have never seen her outmatched in all the videos I have watched of her playing live. She is so comfortable and relaxed, regardless of whose kit she is sitting at or who she is playing with. The only flaw in this video is it needs to have the fabulous introduction of YOYOKA by Narada and the talk by YOYOKA at the end. Check out this if you have not already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OwioaNoa-YZpo

[@stephenhanson3647]

Props to bassist Angeline Saris!

[@rickjohnson8707]

Her strength had increased as she's growing. But her feel and flo has also grown if that's possible at all ! 😮

[@ЮрийТимонин-ъ9е]

Абсолютный слух, уникальное чувство ритма, она может повторить любую партию, любого гениального барабанщик, девочка Гений, просто монстр!!!!

[@daveoutdoors4949]

Wow! This is fantastic. You don’t hear that many Jeff Beck covers.

[@kawaguzzi2000]

ジェフ・ベックのワイヤードはLPで買って、よく聞いてました（50年近く前になるかな） 演奏してくれてありがとう！

[@godside21]

Yoyokaちゃん。アメリカの水は合っていますか?ドンドン宝石のような人々と出会い、セッションに磨きをかけて下さい。貴女が20歳になった時、どんなスーパードラマーに成っているか将来が楽しみです❤🥁🎉

出頭の原盤テープ編集を再現してるのがいいですね 当時耳で覚えた者としてはこの曲はこうでなくては！となります

[@markmarsh27]

That was so mind-blowingly PERFECT it made me cry! Yoyoka is an amazing prodigy, she could replace Neil Peart in Rush. And that guitar player was note for note perfect! I'm gonna save this one.

[@Fathead09]

Jeff Beck. Hell Yeah!

[@ImaDogTrainer]

Great as usual! Who are the band members? I recognize Angeline Saris and the lead guitarist looks familiar...
