Jojo Mayer: Textural Technique (Part 1)

Jojo Mayer reveals some of his secret weapons for creating modern sounds on the drumset. Developed over years of experimentation with his cutting-edge band Nerve, these concepts push the boundaries of modern music and blur the line between acoustic and electronic music. Try them out for yourself!

This guy made a DVD which should be bought by every drummer in the world , it's litterally a bible of how to use the stick at their full potential and your body in a way that is energy efficient. Truely my favorite drummer out there.

[@robertfennis6088]

I like how electronic music basically came from either sampled drumsounds or analog drum sounds and now gets reintroduced into actual acoustic drums again:P

[@iBaraban]

...while imitating drum machines, which are imitating live kit...confusing lol

[@knickerbocker191]

Just an absolute master. One of my favorite living drummers and definitely the most creative.

[@joshuavermillion]

You could give Jojo a cucumber and he'd make it sound good.

[@chrisshannon9735]

he might as well be a cucumber, you just can't fuck with this guy. he could just take a couple of blenders, a cucumber, and a kit...and still hurt your brain.

[@JesseP.Watson]

I disagree. I don't think he has the lungs to make much of a cucumbist.

[@nimardamma]

fuck yeah )

[@Prof3ssrBrando]

As a bassist, I love these videos! Jojo Mayer has so much to offer outside to people! I have to say though... John Davis needs to drop some Textural Technique videos for bass!

[@JonathanTaylorW]

I think his kick sound is the best thing in this video.

[@esond]

Wow. Playing aside, he really has figured out how to make an acoustic kit sound "digital." That kick sound is spot on!

[@rebusd]

a lot of people don't know just how solid and groundbreaking Jojo's technique actually is.

[@VQuiZ11]

Texture and palette, not something a lot of people talk about these days, but I feel as though these are just as if not more important than hand technique or learning the latest lick. People like Jojo and Chris Dave and Mark Guiliana who have this shit down and are in a constant mindset of changing and improving it, these guys are the real deal.

[@sebavitali]

Ever Evolving Drumset Genius. There's no better way to sell your Products, Vic Firth! Epic awesomeness.

[@dreamopeth]

He has such a nice setup, everything compliments sonically and to my ears sounds perfect for what he does. He's raised the bar even higher here. JoJo I salute you! Thankyou.

[@31dwa]

That songs freakin me out. I think i almost astral projected.

[@cafearno]

I love the "let's start with a simple beat" x) Half of the drummer i know arnt able to play this lmao

[@cafearno]

[@dsighkoticb]

Has just become one of my new favorite drummers.

[@HoldenMcG]

WOW!!! Thank you VF and JjM for sharing.

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Love this sooo much. The song is very acid jazz-ish with a lor of other flavors mixed. So badass.

[@jazzdrummerworld]

This Video is from "Jojo Mayer Modern Sounds" DVD by Vic Firth. I like all Parts!! Great!

[@shootsbraw]

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

[@mr_katz_]

I hope Vic Firth has made enough dreadlocks to meet the onslaught of demand from this. Awesome job Jojo and Nerve!

[@TokenYeahPunGuy]

Good attitude, good response

[@BradDutz]

[@Deathstarke]

09:08 - 09:24 Loved that part!

[@jgmiller804]

7:25 some OG Metroid vibe right there

[@MIDIPipe]

Unusual is the Word.

[@numanuma20]

The drealocks sound way to high pitched when I use them, but Jojo can make them sound wonderful on his drum kit. How does he do it?

[@JavierScheuermannMusic]

Brooklyn? I live in Queens. I need to go there!

[@urbanjunior]

good old days when takuya was still part of it

[@JCNOF]

Dope

[@Jungleritter]

I have a new tutorial on my channel explaining one of Jojo's favourite licks, check it out, it comes with slow motion etc.

[@Petrikas27]

Jojo is fundamental stone for all the drummers of today, and another thing he is historian or the drums (the double pedal commemoration in his performance on modern drummer and now another reference) thats dedication and constant 'outside of the box' thinking. check his work on janek gvizdala and try to emulate.

[@AustinWorek]

Respect Mayer!! (y)

[@danielscanlan34]

I like it

[@jedidrummerjake]

Too COOOLLL!!!!

[@maciekomis]

I feel like i need that bass pedal. reminds me of my ludwig speed king. Gotta start looking for one :)

[@heinzie5]

such a boss.

[@TheFoodsgood]

I want those dreadlock brushes!

[@manuelricolasdelrecuerdo7304]

Excelentes ejecutando

[@1missing]

I'm as much an amateur as the next guy, but I know what I'm expecting when I watch a Jojo Mayer video.

[@RoccoSarno]

Bellissimo!!!!!!

[@literoadie3502]

Is that the same kit he was playing in the 1998 performance?

[@Vize526]

True dude, it's not that much of a complicated beat, but it doesn't look that simple though, at least to me :p I'm a beginner drummer, and I think I could probably do this beat (thnx for confidence btw ^^)... But i would probably have to keep praticing it for a day so that it would come out half a good as this!! I subbed to freedrumlesson a while aggo btw ^^

[@N3V2-Nevto]

The thing I liked about Jojo Mayer: If anyone already knew. He has A background for being a Metal Drummer too and uses double bass ^_^ Just sharing some info I have read :P

[@DannyoLWH]

Anyone one knows the title of the song he's playing with the band at the end?

[@vincentbwang]

his modern drummer fest kit!

[@ascoltatoreful]

JO JO............goooooooooooooo

He gave me some idearhs !

[@ZetroDrummer]

Lars Ulrich and 8 of his friends don't like this video...

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

Why would Lars be even watching this video. He is a rock banger and I think he said" I never said that." We ALL have styles we like and don't like. I certainly would not watch a heavy rock video just to send HATE com. I respect all.

[@ZetroDrummer]

It's a joke you larsbelieber!!

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

***** Its just so many people are talking shit, that I thought you did. LOL peace. Like Dave Weckl says less talk more music.

[@aidencoxmusicguy5097]

I think it’s more of his 3 friends

[@funky7chunky]

I see a lot of drummers trying to make obscure sound with their drums and most of the time it just makes me cringe. Why is it Jojo can apply this stuff just so much better than everyone else? He always makes this stuff sound amazing!
