Pro Drummer Reacts to 8 Year Old Yoyoka Good Times Bad Times LED ZEPPELIN

[@yoyoka_soma]

Thank you very much😃

[@teacher-marouane]

You're talented Yoyoka-chan ! keep it up !

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

You're welcome 😊

[@JerseyCityGuy]

Yoyoka dear girl! We don't know what we like better You're drumming or your smiles!

[@angelemmanuelinfantetorres3075]

You are awesome Yoyoka!

[@703elee]

omg this is awesome

[@richp4449]

I love this little girl, who is not so little anymore. She is 13, I believe. Still the most talent in a drummer that I’ve seen in a long, long time. I’m about to be 74 and drumming for about 60 of those years. Yoyoka is a treasure and I hope we all realize that and let her grow on her own terms. Love, appreciate, and let her have a full life of musical wonders and delights.

[@CrazyBxDon]

I'm in complete AWE and laughing at her tiny foot in cutie sock while she accomplished one of the craziest bass drum triplets. What the Hell!!!!

[@mdbrumbach1]

Her giggle at the end kills me every time!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

LOL yes!!

[@corenliussulla8677]

....and never forget: its a one take shot!!! no cut!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

which is incredible!!!

[@gregaroo329]

Dude, you need more YOYOKA! Everybody needs more YOYOKA! She is such a joy to watch and more of a joy listening to her!

[@goodboogie]

Here cometh the Yoyoka Army. This is now her warm up song. Watch Yoyoka-Burn.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

[@goodboogie]

@@DrummingwithJarvis this was recorded a long time ago. Please react to her Burn cover.

[@koshersalaami]

There are two Burn videos by Yoyoka. The first one is with the recording and the second one, part of her extensive twelfth birthday sessions with some of the best rock musicians in Japan (and they are GOOD), was her playing with a band. I’d probably suggest the birthday sessions version. And you might check out her playing (with the same musicians) Van Halen’s Jump.

[@plumweeping7609]

A lot of Yoyoka fans have commented on this lol. She was born to parents who enjoy playing in bands. Her parents' band members would come to their house and she would crawl between the places they were playing. When she was a year and a half old, her father noticed her staring at the drum set and thought she might like to play the drums, so he put her in the drum chair, which is when she started playing the drums. She was able to play the drums by the time she could remember (!!) , so I guess she learned how to play the drums in the same way she learned how to speak. She said that the songs she uploads on KZbin are the ones she likes from the Internet or CDs at home, and that her parents were not really interested in Led Zeppelin, so she had to find and choose them herself. She plays the drums by ear (not by sheet music). She also plays drums in a family band, and I assume that she learned the skills necessary to play the songs with the expectation of playing drums in a band. So she said that she plays the drums for songs with vocals, paying attention to the singing voice. I think that's what makes her drumming different from other kids' drumming that you can see on KZbin videos.

[@tomy.1846]

2:08 is awesome!!! She is so awesome! And she has an amazing family, I can't get enough.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yessss!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Yessss the laugh is GReAT!!!! Appreciate you 😊😊😊

[@gt1man931]

That is a pro studio musician who happens to be 11 and you should see and hear her now. She started at 2, was in her band on stage at 4, and has played with a few pop stars on stage in front of crowds of 10-20 thousand. She is contracted with Pearl, and Zildjian, Pearl has sent her to NAMM in LA before to represent. She is the real deal.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Those are all great companies to represent you. She's incredible excited to discover more of her drumming

[@92548dannyt]

The real deal? Absolutely. Beyond dynomite.

[@magnushallin3640]

She has played in front of 20 thousand once with Fall out boy, 30 thousand twice in Tokyo fashion show and 40 thousand once performing her own "Sparkling"... and has now changed to Ludwig drums.

[@plastrec]

I always look forward to someone seeing Yoyoka for the first time. Especially a pro drummer. Thanks for posting this.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@The-Dutch-Laura_V]

I also was (and still am) amazed the first time i heard and saw her! Very inspiring personality,

Thanks for spreading the love around, alway encourage the young.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Always!

[@Richard.Cabeza]

I don't know jack about drumming, but ever since watching Yoyoka I have come to appreciate drummers and just what is involved in drumming. I bet I watch 2-3 of her vids a week and never get tired of watching her. Anything from her 12th Birthday Jam is incredible. Now at 12+ she amazing. Lots of credit to her parents, they have raised a great person and a talented musician. Respect.

[@juliemanarin4127]

She is a true prodigy!!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Agreed!!!!!

[@gixxerboy555]

even more than that..Yoyoka is almost..unreal.. :)

Is she better than Nandi Bushell who recently played with the Foo Gighters

More to come from her!!!!

[@340rps]

When I first saw her cover I watched it 4 times over trying to see where the " catch" was. I finally had to realize she was for real. Then to watch her sky rocket at 9yrs old, I'm left Dazed but not confused anymore!

[@mikebunner3498]

Young man hold on to your horses! This young lady is BAD to the bone. She has this cover down perfect.... She has having SO much FUN!!!! I favorite part is at the end.... She can not keep it in any longer --- her JOY comes exploding out of her special self.. I love it....

[@kataluna22167]

Her talent is remarkable and astounding. But as a musician, myself, it is the joy that she gets from playing that moves me to tears! Yoyoka, you rock girl!

I've been a drummer for almost 50 years....and my jaw was on the floor for almost this entire performance. WOW!!!!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yesss!

[@mrmusic248]

todderickson2435: Watch the video that features Robert Plant watching Yoyoka. She is a force of nature, and we all have fallen in love with her cherubic smile. I hope your jaw recovered quickly, because when you watch another one of her drum covers, (I suggest "What Is Hip", by Tower Of Power), it will hit the floor again. Guaranteed.

[@fredtello]

her cover of the song Burn by Deep Purple

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

🙌🏽🙌🏽 I'll check it out

[@scottdarden5808]

I had to pause when you did!! I was laughing so hard!! You have to go down the Yoyoka rabbit hole! She does a Beatles cover where she plays keyboard, bass, guitar, drums of course. Then she also sings lead and backup vocals. Then mixes it all together with the video showing her playing all. Girl is phenomenon

Robert Plant watched her play and was very impressed with her. she said she's been playing since she was 2. that's so cool.

[@Serai3]

What's really killer is you can kinda think maybe you're listening to the original track and maybe she's not that great... and then the song ends and she starts IMPROVISING on Bonzo's style!! It's flabbergasting, really. And she's gone on to be a really kickass drummer. (I especially love how she has to stand up to still the hi hat.)

Her ability to remember everything that she hears in detail - and reproduce it is not of this world. A lot of musicians can fake it through many covers doing it almost as the original - but she nails it and sometimes add a little extra that she feels is in place

She is an amazing drummer obviously but her swivel foot technique on the kick drum is so on point. That was so hard for me to get good at when I played the drums and she just nails.

[@BDUBZ49]

She finished her calculus homework early one afternoon and decided to learn drums.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

LOL could be true!

[@scyphe]

That song is NOT easy to play on the drums (esp. the one foot triplet or whatever it was) without a looot of practice and experience and she mastered it when she was 8 years old. Today she's 11-12 and on a whole different level. When she does these covers she listens to the songs 2-3 times (a couple of times more if it's a more complicated song) and learn it by ear (she can't read music). She's definitely a prodigy and she looks like she's having a lot of fun while playing.

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

It IS ,in fact, hard to play - for anyone be.
