Well, thats the best drummer THAT band is ever likely to see in their life time!!!!

[@Aclimade]

If I may point out, Derick and Griffin are professional session and performance artist, deep in the LA music scene, and they've worked with the best, in all facets..., and ... well ... you're probably right.

[@daveintx]

The impressive part of "no rehearsal" was that the band did a great job of keeping up with her; after all she mastered these songs years ago already! Whiskey a Go Go is a good spot for exposure, I hope this video goes public quickly and bigger gigs open up soon!

[@leokimvideo]

The future of rock drumming is in YOYOKA's hands

[@JasonGabler]

If only rock had a future.

[@Rob-Yule]

So excited to see this! Doesn't every 13-year-old girl spend a school night rocking out at Whiskey A Go Go? Those drums took an absolute thrashing tonight - what a powerful performance. I hope YOYOKA becomes a regular there! As we have all observed, YOYOKA can fit in with any band any time. Another no-rehearsal gig!

[@wombleofwimbledon5442]

They don't call her the Hokkaido Hammer for nuthin'...

[@jefferyanderson70]

Man, oh man! Yoyoka you have definitely hit your full stride! This video shows just how far you’ve come. You tear up the skins as well as the old rock legends and can slide into the chair and play in a jazz quartet as if you have been playing jazz for 30-40 years. You are truly a remarkable and talented young artist Yoyoka!

[@wombleofwimbledon5442]

Her shuffle makes ME shuffle lol

[@patjcarey]

Yoyo you fit so seamlessly into any band you play with. This was so impressive and a great watch. Keep rockin girl! Pat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@freddyvlachos9732]

Yaaaaayyy Yoyoka nailing the Ocean by Led Zeppelin. Yoyoka is the only musician who qualfies to play Zeppelin all others fall short. Yoyoka is the best! More Yoyoka, More Yoyoka I love Yoyoka more!

[@michaelfreiberg8057]

Jason Bonham and Michael Lee did it very well

[@janbleeker]

Searching for the right Deep Purple song. Luckily Yoyoka knew the answer! 😊

[@andrewplumb6544]

Stagecraft.

[@calnative4904]

Yoyoka should have millions of followers she is a phenomenal drummer 🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰

[@ScottBayliss]

She will explode here on social media at some point soon...the astounding talent is so undeniable to the devoted army thats been following & promoting Yoyoka.....the growth with her is truly real & organic ......her big breakthrough is coming! I can feel it! 🤙

[@RebuttalRecords]

@@ScottBaylissI hope she will explode in the form of concert tours with some of the best musicians on the planet. She's an amazing and incredible talent who has managed to channel the energy and skill of some of the world's best known drummers.

[@brooksto]

Yoyoka! So many legends have played the Whiskey - add one more to the list!!! 💖

[@prltqdf9]

Not her first time performing at Whiskey, though.

[@michaelmoreno1202]

world class drummer....she can play with anybody

[@bandoneoni]

Not everybody can play with her.

[@andrewowler1522]

I wrote my other comment at the start when I realized what was going on, Yoyoka had a ball playing this, She was in there.

[@resplendentpeace]

There's a lot of raw talent there, once you look past the immaturity. I'm glad the drummer is being so patient with him.

[@Rob-Yule]

LOL!

[@markgigiel2722]

LMAO. Winner!

[@user-qh7dw2ho6x]

Thanks for the chuckle!

[@SylvesterCarl]

They were a bit fast on Burn, but she didn't try to slow them. Go with the flow is important. I would occasionally mess with the tempo when playing with my friend's band, but only in otherwise empty room. Good fun.

[@shannonbiggers3312]

So you do not know who Derek and Tucker are and don't like showman? Check!

[@johnny3d962]

Very well done, The two gentlemen accompanying her are from a very good band called "Classless act" guitar and vocals are Derek Day, bass and backup vox is Griffin Tucker. Griffin usually plays rhythm and lead guitar in classless act, and Derek is the lead singer.

[@gbulmer]

Thank you for the 'Intel'. I'm pleased and delighted Derek Day has continued to support Yoyoka in such a constructive way. She can't do this alone. Best Wishes. ☮

[@geraldarena5983]

Great performance, Yoyoka! You really lit a fire under that band. WOW!!! Your fills are executed cleanly and flawlessly. Keep up the good work.

[@kamalsh6123]

The great thing is Yoyoka seamlessly playing with any band and more!

[@prosperfireson]

YOYOKA!!!! Wow!!! I have not seen all of your videos but, of those that I have seen this is my favorite. You had an excellent group of musicians on stage with you and everyone kicked butt. The end result was great. Outstanding performance by all and I think there were no weak links in the group. These people complimented your talent and really each other beautifully. So cool. Thanks for posting this and keep on rockin'! Pete St. John Fresno, CA

[@namorlam]

Yoyoka, she lives up to her reputation as a battery wrecker, what a powerful performance. She can play with any band regardless of style. She is starting to be a regular at Whiskey a gogo.

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

What an absolute joy to see Yoyoka growing into such a rock star. I hope she visits the UK soon.

[@juanitafurtado8805]

Standing O in my living room for Yoyoka, tearing it up as she always does!

[@user-be3ov5kj8n]

She LOVES Bars!

[@dofuxie2135]

This was totally mind-blowing. I wish I was there to see it live. Everybody on that stage was was blowing it away. The vocals, the guitars, the keyboard, and of course the drums as well. The mix engineer. Everybody was spot on!!! 🎉 ( I really wish I was there to see this live it must have been something Beyond mind-blowing exclamation mark :-). Love you all

[@buzzyfuzzsaw]

Pound-for-pound, YOYOKA is the fiercest drummer on the planet--bar none.

[@Aclimade]

There. That's the way to phrase it.

[@johns.]

That was awesome!

[@Chakirisan]

You absolutely crushed this set, power house drumming Yoyoka!

[@dopeymark]

Literally think I've been watching her since she was eight or nine.

[@ThePallidor]

No rehearsal!? And with all those unpredictable changes, wow

[@tapsX3]

She’s proven she’s very intuitive.

[@clowncarqingdao]

But they know the songs. They're classics.

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Simply stunning young lady who always amazes me and I learn from after 40+ years of playing. I'll never reach her level, but damn is she inspiring!

[@wombleofwimbledon5442]

Her sheer joy inspires me.

[@glenkelley6799]

Drumming into the future, great job to all musicians at this jam session, Yoyoyka a real pro.

[@RebuttalRecords]

Yoyoka killed it on Burn, and the rest of the band did a great job as well.

[@andrewowler1522]

YES, Great stuff. Keep on rocking.!!!

[@gbulmer]

Great performances by the whole band! Great renditions of Great Classic Rock! 👏👏 Yoyoka looked so very comfortable, playing with authority as if she's been the house drummer for a decade. 👏😀. Derek Day is a good friend and supporter, especially making sure he called Yoyoka out at the end. 👍👍 Best Wishes Yoyoka, Derek, Griffin and Alexis. ☮

[@wombleofwimbledon5442]

She DOES present as an old House Drummer. Tight as a... well, drum 😉

[@gbulmer]

@@wombleofwimbledon5442 🥁👍👍😀 Thank you for replying. Best Wishes. ☮

[@bigchunkybubbles]

LOL, Yoyoka is outplaying all of them. She's just on another level, so solid and aggressive with every detail in the right place. That's what makes a big sound, not just hitting hard.

[@irhamismail6225]

ROOOOOCCKKK....!!!! YEAH..!! 🤟🤟🤟 Daamn..! Guys, you just rock!! And Yoyoka.. my God..!! The drum is soo tight and powerful..!!

[@markt9075]

Great to see Yoyoka back at the Whiskey A Go Go! She seems right at home there.

[@chrisburke7646]

You are so awesome I can't believe you're here in the USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@artgreig7069]

Somewhere John Bonham is smiling, just sliding those beats in. Yoyoka, you are the backbone of the songs, of course you know this. Remember, no one bobs their head to the guitar.

[@Electriceye1984bySam]

On my bucket list to see her concert live👌🏻🤘🏻👍🏻

[@ricramirez5575]

i have enjoyed watching a lot of Yoyoka. I like her the best when she is drumming with these sort of musician's.

[@vinamerosa1923]

WOW ! , So good and Yoyoka was having so much fun. Two great songs to play, really great band. She is so impressive and humble, we're gifted to get to watch her play, just WOW ! 👍👍❤❤

Rock on Yoyoka!!

Yoyoka rocked of course, but the rest of the band put on a really good show. Lots of energy but not over the top.

I’ve played music for years and know how hard it can be at times and this girl has what it takes, she is gonna go far and the rest of the band is awesome too. He nailed jimmy page’s playing style…. Keep it up 🤘

[@aivira3161]

I hope she plays with Mr Jimmy soon. He's amazing as well.

Vibrant exciting performance! This gave the Hammer a chance to stretch out and run with it. To paraphrase Uptown Funk she showed up and showed out. Wicked good!!

Sweet gig!😊

Yoyoka is the undisputable motor of this band! I love the studio version of "Burn" with her and her friends.

GREAT STUFF YOYOKA 👏 👍🏻 THUMBS UP FOR 👍🏻 YOU AGAIN 👍🏻

[@denniseldridge2936]

The fact that she can go in with little or no rehearsal and that she can nail parts in one take when in the studio makes her a future "go-to" drummer for many top producers and artists. Need to get your session done as efficiently as possible, with as few takes as possible? Yoyoka. Your drummer dropped out at the last minute (or exploded) just before a major live gig? Someone find out if Yoyoka is available!

[@Rob-Yule]

Well said!

[@gbulmer]

Exactly! 100% agree. A decade of session work, and supporting live tours would give her experience playing with hundreds of different musicians. She's such a good human, she'd make many faithful friends. Best Wishes. ☮

[@norrisfong6445]

Noooo. Not for spinal tap.

[@denniseldridge2936]

@@gbulmer That is so important. She's already got a reputation as a kind and decent person, besides her incredible skills. She's met a lot of top names, and when they add up her great personality with her skill sets they will be knocking down her door. I had a friend who went to work in the US as a professional bass player in Las Vegas. He told me that being easy to work with, and showing up both sober and on time, will get you more gigs than you can imagine, which rather surprised me. Yoyoka has all of that, so she's all set.

Seguir haciendo música increíble y compartiéndola con el mundo!

[@markdecker6190]

This Whiskey gig she's got going on is fantastic exposure for her. Sure the publicity is great but playing with different musicians every time and without rehearsal is one hell of a learning experience for her.

Hey, hey! They found musicians for Yoyoka to jam with, who have as much fun playing as she has.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Hard to believe it's been three years since Yoyoka wowed Ian Paice with her "Burn" cover -- "You clever, wee thing, you" -- and five since Robert Plant said that John Bonham would have been "chuffed" by her cover of "Good Times Bad Times", quite impressed himself. Look now. Maybe a little something with Alex and Geddy?

[@jimmyeich6250]

Derek Day is killing this. Love the bassist contribution.

Pretty much self taught until a year ago when she was introduced to jazz. Has been gigging though in the family band since she wad 4. She has posted vid on this channel of her at the kit in a bar at 5 years old. She was clearly well competent and no stranger to the role.
