[@eberhardjurgalski4554]

I am 67 now and a rock fan since the 60s and liked all the new rock power in the 90s. Yoyoka´s Led Zep triples, RATM power and else, all unbelievable, but her 2:51 "input" and the end bass drum flights on this tune are not from this world. Now I think, rock drummers should cover Yoyoka´s covers to be in her league. I hope to live very long to view most of her career. There were several singers and several songs that brought me to tears in the past, but never drums. Yoyoka is a gift from the rock gods for all of us.

Well, that might have been a little show-off. But what impressed me much more was her flawless rendition and little, but all the more impressing, additions to the beat, where one could see her true add-on quality of ingenuity. She's not just repeating, she's creating stuff far beyond show-off style drumming.

[@tomasguerrero438]

Ok, the last snare blast before the last chorus she did it with a combination of snare and bass pedal and then at the end she added her doble bass kick drum faster and she owned the song being just 10 years old??....I will meditate on what she just did with this song for a little while, until my mind gets totally convinced that this really happened!!!

[@glacieractivity]

It simply is nonsensical. A girl with the body mass of a bag of chips simply channelling Dave Grohl in this mid 20s on Neverland hitting us all in the face. Something we are still trying to figure out (The impact of Nirvana). Newton clearly indicated that when we discuss force, mass and ability to accelerate it is of importance. And here is this girl who does not just copy the drum pattern, but channels Grohl's straight in the face raw punk approach coupled to being almost melodic. She should simply not have enough mass. Nor should she have enough control over rhythm when blasting all her mass onto a drumset at her age. And yet - she does.

[@filiptaormino7559]

Not because she dosn't seem to have any technical limits, and not because she beats so hard, that only technique can explain her inpeccable and accurate beat (given her twiggy arms). It's devocation and deep emotional understanding of rythm that sets her apart from almost anyone hitting drums nowatimes and maybe even at any time. She's great beyond and independant of her age.

[@AccuCat]

Why am I not surprised that this was the best drum cover of the song I have seen on KZbin, and almost everyone else who played it were adults. I used to cover this song with my grunge and alternative rock band back in the 90s to 2000s, so I know it as only a rock musician and band leader can. I suddenly had a urge today to KZbin search "Dave Grohl drumming", and after watching a lot of what came up, I decided to go see drum covers on SLTSpirit. Listened to the first 8-10 or so that came up, leaving Yoyoka's cover for last. Wow, excellence, bravo, respect! I don't think (as a fellow rock musician especially) you need to say much more than that to another rocker. Just hope (if that is what she wants to do with peers around her age) that I can live long enough to see more of her drumming, with her own rock band and original songs. Thanks Yoyoka, and keep on going/rocking little one ✌️

My hope is that you always find joy and happiness making music--especially percussive music! Thank you for sharing your craft.

なんたるタイム感だよ ドラマーならわかる、これはすごすぎだろー

[@keykiyox]

She makes drums kit sing and everybody feels it. That’s why. Don’t ask me how, heaven knows.

[@jamesmichaels1124]

I know how. It's called 'God-given talent', brother, and she has it. 😎

[@dirkdiggler5647]

Cute how she waves hello and goodbye with her drum stick

[@user-vj9bc7fs9n]

(笑) 本当！素晴らしい！ デイヴ　グロールだね！ ロックの力強さが伝わってくる！ よよかちゃんは大人になったらどんなドラマーになるんだろう？ すご〜く楽しみ！ いつまでも精進して頑張ってください！

[@Mac-ix4qp]

Pretty sweet! The way you brought in the ending got my teary-eyed. Grohl played with that sort of commitment and energy and should be proud.

[@iFoneVids]

She hits so hard and with authority. At 3:20 she was off like a rocket with such joy. She revels with the more complicated and fast paced sections of the songs she covers. And you can see it in her eyes and face. She’s on pocket all the time, if not, most of the time. And for people comparing Yoyoka with Nandi, as good (debatable) as Nandi is, there’s really no comparison with the skill, feel and groove that Yoyoka exudes without even ‘showing off’. I’m sure (hopefully) both ladies will improve the older they get. And I can’t wait. I’ve seen/watched so many awesome female drummers including all the current Japanese ladies and even Sina, so far, Yoyoka’s skills are way better than them when they are at her age IMHO. She’s a league of her own.

[@georgedaniel5319]

Yes, you are right about Yoyoka! There are many viewers comparing their favourite drummers to Yoyoka. She has set the standards for others to follow or be better if they want to. My opinion, it's a compliment to her that she is getting some attention. Drummerworld has voted her as one of the top 500 drummers in the world and the youngest. Need I say more?

[@banesbox]

This is my absolute favorite cover Yoyoka has done. That double bass is killer.

[@richardlangro5461]

wow! she doesn’t even bury the beater!! wow! amazing 2:25

[@stickerred]

I've watched this covers over hundreds time since last year. Love and believe it over 1M views. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 !!! Thanks all Yoyoka fans.

[@deanster7216]

seeing her smile whilst playing drums makes me wish I had found something I loved this early in life.

[@zebravox]

If watching and listening to Yoyoka doesn't make you happy, you must be dead. Dear Yoyoka, the boys would be proud of you. Keep up the good work. #haveaniceday #bravo #staysafe

[@ianstewart8243]

Nails the chorus - not just the straight 4/4, she gets Ghrol's loose feel on this

[@kamui607]

凄すぎる！　この年齢でロック魂がこれだけ感じるなんて、将来が恐ろしい。

[@philmore1871]

For a little kid, she hits hard. Awesome.

[@Metaxoid]

Hits as hard as dave grohl lmao

[@sexybob9766]

HIT LIKE A GIRL FOR SURE WINNER 2019!

She hits HARD period.

@@officialkurtmusic6196 - but it's absolutely hilarious how we have to actually debate why Dave is still better than a nine year old girl :-)

Triplets on the kick just gets me. Her technique is just incredible. Love the passion when she’s crashes symbols.

[@austen98]

I like the bit at the end where gives this cheeky grin right before those quick kicks. Pure gold this girl.

[@Tomobra41]

この曲は、yoyokaちゃんらしい爆発ドラムが気持ちいいです！すごいグルーブ感ですね。

[@thegrimreaper1991]

よよかあなたは素晴らしいです!私は22年間ベースギターを弾いています。 あなたは今まで見た中で最高のドラマーです。 あなたは素晴らしい小さな女の子です。 繁栄し、学び続けますように。 君は家族の功績だ。👍👍🤟🤟😻🌹🌹

[@mariec.9102]

This kid ain't no joke! 😯 Her legs must have been burning 🔥🔥 by the end of that song the way she was kicking both feet! Amazing!

[@RahimRahmat]

Nope, don't think her legs were burning. She's just too used to playing the drums for the kicking to have any effect on her.

[@Hilarious1972]

My #1 favorite Yoyoka cover. Love all of it from the beast mode polka dots socks to the beautiful smile as she going in monster mode on the bass drums.

[@d.scottjohnstone6813]

WOW! WOW! and WOW! and just nine years old at the time.......I think I was still eating crayons at that age!!! Keep on rockin' Yoyoka.....We love ya here in balmy Las Vegas, Nevada. Warmest regards, D. Scott

[@luminaraunduli2791]

To whichever planet she is from: the people of Earth thank you for letting us enjoy this amazing creature!

[@mistersmith3986]

Dave Grohl: Hey kid, want to play like me some day? Yoyoka: "Hold my Sippy Cup 🥤

[@OkieMikester]

Exactly!!!

[@professionalmoron8051]

Well, Grohl isn't a great drummer. It's basic stuff. She's got Bonham, which is amazing. I'd love to see her try out Moon, Liebezeit, Reni, and Baker (you'll need to Google those).

[@obsprisma]

@The Infidel That is exactly the comment a moron gives. Playing drums is not about energy only but also flexibility, touch and soul. But you grunchheads don't hear that anymore because of the ear damage you have from listening too loud.

[@tmcg1932]

@@professionalmoron8051 People say I'm condescending (that means I talk down to people)...

[@kinkane5566]

@@professionalmoron8051 Would like to see you do any of those things at her age... and don't EVER disrespect that talent that is Dave Ghrol, damn you're something special aren't you? Don't you think it's strange for someone that has achieved basically nothing in life to criticize Dave Grohl? Yeah I thought it was stupid AF too.

Anybody that thinks drumming is easy needs to closely watch those multiple camera views. YOYOKA owning those drums every way imaginable.

[@dancindavey1515]

I can NOT NOT smile when I watch her. Instant mood elevator every time.

She is actually playing ghost notes on the bass drum. Unbelievable.
