Jojo Mayer: Textural Technique (Part 2)

[@SHEbangzProductions]

Jojo Mayer is like the guru of drums, he knows everything about every technique, style, time signature. it's mind blowing!

[@Riddim4]

Your willingness to think further and dig deeper is inspiring and humbling.

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

Jojo, it always amazes' how you can make acoustic drums sound so creative. Thank you . The band Nerve is incredibly creative.

[@VicFirthCompany]

Themeinldrummer, we actually recorded this lesson series for a special DVD that we produced for Jojo's clinic tour throughout Europe, Canada and the US. After the clinic tour was over, we decided to put the video on KZbin to let everyone benefit from the lessons. Usually we don't sit on any video for more than a few days!

[@CejkaH]

He's a genius.

[@JeffreyMulac8]

I don't know who is more freaky creative, Jo Jo or Jonny Rabb. I saw Rabb at a clinic, and people's jaws were on the floor at his bizarre creativity. So much acoustic drumming that sounds cooler than electronics.

[@DillingerEscapeMan]

I use that a lot sometimes

[@VeKtorVacuum]

Nice name....

[@goseeaboutagirl]

love the flam sound using the tom rim. so much fun to do

[@JeffreyMulac8]

Another master of the techno beat and unusual creativity is Jonny Rabb. Saw him live at a clinic last year, and people's jaws were on the floor at the sounds and discoveries. Benny Greb said it best, that finding new techniques is basically a little kid screwing around on a drumset until he can replicate a unique sound in a beat pattern.

[@jblockmusic]

Jojo Mayer without sunglasses. My day is complete.

[@agamaz5650]

i saw him in real life without sunglases, best day of the year xddd

[@The48Bishop]

Thanks, I'll have to watch it again. Its definitely been a few years.

[@andorezzu]

Awesome drummer, awesome technique!

[@RobCartwright]

It's his version of the push/pull technique. Check out his DVD, he goes into great detail about it.

[@TheJosuepena1]

VF thanks for this vid of jojo mayer ive been using the "CLAPPING TEXTURE" and its working amazingly well never wouldve thought of that ive tripped out some some other drummers and musicians as well.

[@MeleDrummer]

Great video. Love Jojo. Please Vic, make part 3!!

[@C-Stanz]

his innovations are very impressive.

[@zfghdfgjfgj]

Not afraid to share his secrets because he'll have a new one when he wakes up in the morning! Thanks Jojo + Themeinldrummer.

[@HesteBremse]

Enjoyed both Parts a lot lot, Thanks ;D

[@DovSkipperDrummer]

Great tips and ideas, thanks Jojo

[@coajrmusic]

Very creative stuff JoJo......

[@johnkracy9190]

Really really enjoying this.....

[@RecordingDrumsWithBrad]

Pure Genius!

[@36tenaz]

sounds good,

[@marcinnsz]

Really, really cool ideas !!!

[@enternaldragon1]

4:15- 4:50 my fav beat :D

[@codymills8410]

Flam with the rack! Thanks Jojo!

[@nickdrexler-art]

interesting idea. That flam does sound like a clap! good work.

[@shalaq]

Please... PLEASE Tell me you've recorded the whole performance in that studio and that we can watch it or buy it on a DVD...

[@Esteban_Escalante]

SONOR drums... the best!!!

[@arturosanchez6554]

"I use that a lot sometimes..." It's just when I seldom do something always...

[@kilmoturtles1]

Well, technically, you could use it a lot in one beat that you sometimes play. Kinda like always commenting, on a 5 year-old comment.

[@CatchingGreenLights]

Keep up the great videos.

[@liamdonohoedrums]

Jojo is something else.

[@daniel.espinotx]

I love jojo

[@A_Flash1992]

jojo is soooo sick.

[@The48Bishop]

Oh yea. Similar to how a bodhran player would do a triplet or something. But it looks like Jojo gives it one tap and the stick goes on its own, a rebound like a Moeller kind of motion.

[@KingZerxst]

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that

[@nicolaslobos7281]

Tremendo Jojo como siempre!

[@mhcdrum]

This bass player is so cool

[@umdiscodevinil]

THE KINK OF TECHNIQUES

[@adurgaram]

Amazing stuff !!!

[@robertwells6394]

Jojo Slays it

[@insanedrummer89]

Dude open hi hats on the 'e' you are the master jojo. More cool info than cobus, mike, or Steven have ever given!

[@tommyXBOX360]

It looks like he is playing a gravity blast on the other side of the fence if you catch my drift. Using the BACK of the stick for the rebound, instead of the tip.

[@groovedoc]

6:00 yessss !!!!!

[@a.ozzie.o]

His accent and voice sounds a little like Christopher Walkens.

[@groovedoc]

is this the jojo mayer signature snare?

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

What pedal is the bass player using at the beginning?

[@LukeBass1000]

John Davis, although Janek often fills in for him.

[@aviddavid9314]

Unreal

[@abbiefinndrums]

what is the name of the song played at 6:00? :D love it!

[@AndrewJSmith-mk4vh]

If you were to ask me what my favorite drummers are that inspired me to play? I would tell you, Jojo Mayer, Neil Peart, Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Joey Joridson, Travis Barker, Lars Ulrich, Zoro, Terry Bozzio, Mike P., Vinnie K., and John Bonham.

[@kemistry65]

Andrew J. Smith yeah but no one asked so why tf?

[@agamaz5650]

6:13 what piece of music is that omg

[@gabrielfelipegato]

This guy is a fucking genius! D:

[@OinkiHsFlashofWit]

0:52 "Which is basically YOLO that: [stroke]"

[@schismowy]

i wonder what is the name of intro song. anyone knows?

[@elialexanderyoung]

His name backwards is pretty trippy. OJOJ REYAM. I don't know why that's the first thing I thought of, lol.

[@esond]

Sometimes he uses it, but when he uses it he uses it a lot.

[@CatchingGreenLights]

Hey man, I think he was just amused by the phrase. You don't have to call the guy a troll.

[@AquaAnim]

@mtmightyboy the hell it does!

[@mr_guy661]

I think he means a lot in some songs

[@allmetaliswelcome]

1:43 what is he doing? hitting with the one end of the stick and then the other?

[@Themeinldrummer]

"Uploaded on Sep 28, 2012" - It's interesting to see how long Vic Firth sits on videos before they release them to the public. Why so long?

[@jonathansouthpark84]

fuck, you beat me to it

[@MarkoVolkOfficial]

excelent!!

[@The48Bishop]

What is going on at 1:59? Its so fast an flawless its driving me crazy.

[@dsighkoticb]

What kind of hats are those?

[@hackernich]

WOW!!!!

[@HombreAlterado]

MONSTER

[@avivyl1234]

is he doing 8th notes on the hat or 16th ? or something else?

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

I own that snare😊

[@GraspopOwns]

What is the song in the end called?

[@jameshughes7947]

wtf is he doing at 2:00? some kind of 4 stroke phrase on the rim, but how? is he using the fulcrum for that as well, or is it just a one hand job?

[@Ribsletics]

Meaning in certain songs or musical settings, he uses that technique a lot. But those certain songs or musical settings only happen sometimes. Just had to be a troll in the comments, didn't there?

[@tcrmn]

"I use that a lot sometimes"

[@ivaniberry0414]

o gurudeva!!!

[@MrJakeb1193]

"i use that alot sometimes"

[@jasononbass124]

whos the bass player???

[@Wqht12]

@MrJakeb1193 He clearl

[@fl260]

Good thing these videos are not 12 hours long, cause I'd waste a whole day...

[@pengfeixue599]

他是个教授。

[@archonish]

his hihats always sound so awesome when he plays them, but i've tried them in person before, and man, they are the trashiest cymbals i've come across in my life so far. his left foot technique to splash the hats must be flawless, i'd love to see him give his spin on technique for his feet. did i forget to mention his coveted right foot?

[@Deathwhisperer13]

This is how , the music that plays in porn is made !

[@ELHALOPSP]

Old school

[@AndrewJSmith-mk4vh]

Ha I gotcha

[@Floxters]

What is the name of the bass player?

[@gmorton916]

John Davis

[@parapickle]

John Davis

[@Erkki_Mela]

John Davis

[@eatthem5829]

John Davis

[@johnnhello4913]

John Davis

[@maxxbradshaw7317]

"Idear"

[@orti1283]

I guess they're Sabian HHX Fierce hats

[@grooveboss]

really? you are putting cobus in the same sentence as jojo meyer? jojo is arguably the best drummer in the world, and super intelligent. cobus covers.

[@insanedrummer89]

If u actually read my commet. Im agreeing with you

[@RumRummyRummer]

let me talk you about this

[@bbkaeyez]

โค้ก

[@hernandaou1]

fucking god

[@cheangdoy]

เสื้อ โค๊ก ซะด้วย

[@orti1283]

this

[@onesyphorus]

he has to wear a human skin so we don't get further scared of the monster he really is LOL

[@bjhMus1C]

this guy is ridiculous

[@noisivision7777]

i think he needs to sleep a bit....

[@ilikemusic76]

I really don‘t know if there is any kind of contemporary jungle and bass band who would use an analog drummer as a part of their band concept. Mr. Mayer would you please come up with something really substantial and useful please. This crazy „Rumgedaddel“ is not very useful.

[@Vesaniah4]

well english is not his first language.
