Rosanna - Toto / Cover by Yoyoka, 10 year old

She states that, "This song was very difficult, but I did my best." At first, she's running a bit rough; by the middle, she's mastered it; by the end, she owns it. Incredible.

[@k-matsu]

@@miktoh Absolutely right. If you want he clearest giveaway on how difficult the Pocaro shuffle is . . . look at Yoyoka's face. This girl has done covers of Led Zepplin, Queen, Grand Funk, Stray Cats, RHCP and Foo FIghters, and maintained a beaming smile and loose body language throughout. This one, she has to really focus and concentrate. Not only is this HELLA difficult for a drummer to play, but it shifts both tempo and pattern several times throughout the song. She may not have it down 100%, but Ive seen drummers who have been drumming professionally for three times longer than Yoyoka has been alive . . . and they STILL struggle to keep the groove. Thank you again Yoyoka! You are truly the best. As for you @Darren Frank . . . . dude . . . . if you want to see something thatll blow your mind, watch Yoyoka do "Rock this Town" while standing on one foot throughout the entire song. Hell, most people cant even stand on one foot for that long when doing NOTHING ELSE. . . . . and that was TWO YEARS AGO! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2m7Xn13f5x2eNk

She could slide into a Toto performance and nobody would notice. Amazing.

I thought initially she was a little off but when I put on headphones I realized she was spot on the groove and it was just the weird mix.

Doesn't have the views like some of her other vids, but has to be the most difficult.

[@MikaelLewisify]

This kid is just amazing.

[@handicapitation3250]

I've seen this cover dozens of times and every time I see it, I'm just as amazed as the first time I saw it. It actually really opened up my eyes to how technical Toto was.

[@handicapitation3250]

@Pat McCann yeah, but you don't have to like the music to appreciate the talent. I went down a Toto rabbit hole after seeing this cover, and like you, the music isn't for me. I think I found 1 song that I added to my playlist. Check out the song "falling in between". Sounds kinda like Dream Theater. Most of their songs have cheesy lyrics and that's what turns me away.

[@David-td2cu]

Ive been playing drums over forty years and cant hold a candle to this kid.

[@demandred1957]

Makes me so happy to see this little peanut just *shredding* .

[@Pipsterz]

Right?!! Even watching her foot tippy-toe to hit the kick pedal brings a smile.

[@植田和典-i2x]

バスドラムとスネアのリズム感激ムズだけどめっちゃ上手い！バンドにこんなドラムいたら僕もギターも合わせやすい！

[@alexdubler6533]

What makes this girl's style so unique is her use of the double-bass pedal... like she's learned the rudiments on her FEET... the drag... the flamicue... the pedi-diddles! :) I can say one thing, she will be or already is an incredible soccer (fútbol) player!

[@nagramarantz4857]

このドラム叩くだけですごいのにじゃなくて、グルーヴィなのが本当にすごすぎる、、、

[@alexandermccarthy]

Had to re-visit this one. Simply rips the P shuffle, and naps the fills. If you close your eyes you'd swear the the man himself was behind the kit. Well done, young lady. You truly are a prodigious talent!

[@pasqualeterzi230]

Great, Great, and Great again. I saw her covers when she was 7/8 years old, Ian Piace, John Bonham, Carmine Appice, I have just only a word: WOW

[@SkyYoutobeCat]

すごいすごい！！　ハードロック系だけでなく、こんな難曲も叩けるんですね。 小手先でなく、小さい体全体でリズムをとり、見ていて（聴いていて）気持ちいい。 このままドラムを楽しんでいければ、未来は明るい！

[@Thesedays15]

She's literally a treasure, the stamina of keeping such a wild beat consistent and TIGHT, it's actually insane to watch as a drummer, I've been playing around since she was born and if we're not at the same tier, she's probably better!

[@colinmcnair-smith6656]

Just frigging wow!!!. Gifted and natural. She doesn't really need to concentrate. It's just flows. Fantastic timing for so young.

[@Mel-vb5pj]

I’ve always loved this song and I didn’t realize how good the drum part was until seeing this little girl jamming. Dig it!

[@carlgois8579]

Melted just with the smile alone. Laughed and cried when I seen her play. Just an incredible drummer.

[@deppurple700]

Me too

[@arthurgonzales7890]

This little gal Yoyoka is so cool. I've been a big fan of hers since I first saw her.

[@Dechral]

wow, never realized how difficult this song would be on the drums, and it's so impressive how focused she is

[@創作工房昴機織りの部屋]

もう自分の語彙力の無さに脱力しかない。。。この感動を表現しきれない💦😍😍😍❣️

[@taka_n6370]

同感です。この時YOYOKAちゃんは10歳になったばかりですが、こういう3連係のビートはミュージシャンとしての資質を問われるそうですから。年齢に関係なく人を感動させるものを備えているのだと思います。

[@djnixmixMTL]

I watch this every few months, always impressive, enjoyable 👍👍👍

[@rpascon]

So I'm soon to be 39, and I've never been able to play a shuffle like this. Because of this video, I looked up Porcaro's tutorial, which lead me to a tutorial on "fool in the rain" from Bonham. I took some time to figure that one out, and now I'm progressing to Rosanna, and it feels great to finally learn something that's always been a brick wall to me. All thanks to YOYOKA! xD

[@pathdaly]

My life isn't exactly a garden of roses at present; in fact it's more a sea of shit; but one thing that helps me keep my head above the waves is watching Yoyoka. I just can't imagine what horribly depressing lives the people who give her thumbs down must be living; I think their souls may be irrecoverable.

[@PhillipLandmeier]

They are.

[@tomy.1846]

Hope you are hanging in there pathdaly! Keep rockin to get you through. 😎

[@drew19799]

How are you doing Path?

[@pathdaly]

@@drew19799 Dogpaddling...you?

[@hectoruco3073]

Young lady you rock. This shuffle requires a lot of concentration and hability. And you nailed it. Keep going. You're amazing.

[@romandarobot7732]

And she makes it look completely effortless.. What a career she's gonna have. So happy for her!!

[@johnanderson8096]

You said " I did my best"... well, I have to admit... it was only.... AWESOME... FANTASTIC... BEAUTIFUL... VERY SPECIAL...like you... THANK YOU YOYOKA!!!!

[@WillyEckaslike]

came back after 3 years of seeing this video...not only is she an amazing talent but she was also cute as a button at aged 10....I wish her every success for the future

[@TheJoeAnderson666]

i dont think people understand how crazy hard that beat is...

[@Azarie03]

I do. And I'm 51 years old.

[@FadingVitals]

..and she's playing it perfect. Big Respect!!

[@treatb09]

the stops too.. its not hard for her, she just does it. comes easy to her. feels it. natural drummers don't think, they just do .

[@treatb09]

@@aubindemontfalcon5967 ghost notes? you mean off beats. i always called them interpretative moments.. jk. buts thats what they are.

[@satyr3920]

I'm a professional Keyboarder since 35 years and was working with a lot of brilliant, genius and legendary drummers. All of them confirmed what you said!

[@monqroom0120]

この曲をこんなに楽しそうに叩けるなんて、気付いたらずっと笑顔で観ている自分が居ました😊 もぅ素晴らしいの一言です🤟 良いものを観させていただきました！

[@julianjohncraft3091]

For many years I have been telling people how astoundingly difficult Jeff Porcaro's---then a well-known top-tier session man and musician's musician---work on "Roseanna" was. This lets everyone see it. Kudos to Yoyoka for having the extraterrestrial talent and awareness to pull it off with very little hitch.

[@MarcGoudreau]

Yoyoka is an extremely dexterous child with a love for what she's doing... just look at the focus on her face.... remarkable what children can do when that inner drive takes hold.

[@incineratorium]

Did you just subtly promote child labor? Lol.

[@jamesz.58]

Restores my hope and faith in music with real instruments!! She’s incredible!

[@slappymcslapster8845]

I've always absolutely loved that fill right before the song goes "meet you all the way" and she absolutely nails it!

[@GlenDiG1970]

Oh my this kid is amazing!! Shes so young and its unbelievable to see she gets the beat and fills spot on!!

[@rong...5837]

I've been playing drums on and off since 1989. Can't hold a candle to yoyoka. Greatness at its finest. Keep rocking kid as, I love your drumming

[@jrobbin24]

What a cool little girl and very talented

[@johnveca2979]

Spot on. In the pocket. She's doing what we all love to do. She's having a great time playing the drums!

[@patrickgroll2046]

One thing I find so amazing about this is, when the song starts for the first several bars she is just a tiny bit out of the pocket. But she soon finds it and absolutely locks in.
