YOYOKA | INCREDIBLE 9 YEAR OLD DRUMMER 'Put Me Thru' Anderson .Paak | Drummer Reaction and Breakdown

[@WavePotter]

POUND LIKE for whatever reason you want to! Also what do you think of me doing a first time “reaction” for a play through, then doing a more detailed breakdown after that?

[@gizmotis]

personally I love the change. I don't think many here are going to complain about a double shot of our girl!

[@myoman1977]

I just saw your rap from last year on davie504. Great job!

[@WavePotter]

@@myoman1977 that’s awesome! Thank you Christopher!

[@WavePotter]

@@gizmotis awesome! I kinda like it too!

[@jackspratt7264]

Bro, remember that list of Yoyoka links I emailed you that time? Trust me... watch her "Stray Cats" - Rock This Town cover next. I don't say this often, but she outshines Slim Jim Phantom on that one. I've never seen him play that song the way she does on that cover.

[@harrydai1862]

Anderson responded by posting this on his FB page

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Love Yoyoka I don't know what it is but when she's feeling it and have fun behind the drums she reminds me of a muppet The thin body, shrugged shoulders, and the hair movement I just love it watch it for days

[@Glen.Black.]

Talking about shrugged shoulders... Check this look out, you'll love it! Looks like a lioness stalking her prey at 00:57! Love it! "Rosanna - Toto / Cover by Yoyoka, 10 year old" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGQpYeCotp-pZI She's too funny!

[@rustydomino]

Most of Yoyoka's fans are rock fans or rock drummers, based on KZbin comments. I always thought that she really shines playing syncopated funk stuff. Especially since that's when she has the stank face too

[@luminaraunduli2791]

One of my top favorite Yoyoka covers. Thank you for breaking it down!

[@LtFrankDrebin100]

This is an absurdly hard beat to play and yet she’s still channeling Anderson’s flare. Like this and her cover of Toto’s Rosanna just confirmed the eliteness of her pocket.

[@patjcarey]

One of Yoyoka’s finest. She is brilliant and so dam cute. I knew you would love this Wave. Thank you for the great reaction. Pat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@goldreverre]

This was always one of my absolute favorite of hers. It not my usual preferred style of music but it just bounces so well and she dances to it. Love the cheeky elbow dance

[@myoman1977]

Try yoyokas rock this town by the stray cats!!! PURE JOY

[@taishisasahara8624]

Thanks indeed for covering this!

[@kl-hw8nq]

Yes!!!!! More yoyoka!!!! Thank you for your all effort!!

[@WavePotter]

Of course! Thank you for acknowledging the effort! It means a lot. 😄

[@klokanklokanovic780]

Hello Wave! One of the fun and my favorite videos.Perfectly played song.Thanks for the great response and comment! Alex

[@jimlingmusicchannel]

Nice reaction to Yoyoka again!! Thanks for zooming in those special moments of her playing.:)

[@WavePotter]

My pleasure! Definitely always trying to make my videos better.

[@chrisegbertky]

So much fun! Best reaction so far 😀

[@natsukoinui]

Yoyoka got me addicted to this song for a while! I love her funk covers! Great reaction, as always. Would you do a cover of this? I would love to see that too👍

[@WavePotter]

Yes, I'm in that same boat right now! And thank you Natsuko! I'd say that's definitely a possibility down the road given my new obsession with Anderson .Paak! Thanks for the suggestion! It definitely pushes me toward wanting to make it happen. 😄

[@jonathanzuckerman3828]

So refreshing to be introduced to new artists by her-and with that special style she owns. And I love you the way you break it all down. I was just reading today about Stevie Wonder’s early childhood musical experience. I thought of Yoyoka and imagined being able to get inside the mind of a happy musical prodigy and take in the rhythm and sound as they do-if even for a few minutes. What a treat that groove would be! Keep bringing us close to feeling that!!!

[@iFoneVids]

This is the cover that I fell in (drumming) love with this kid. This is my favorite cover of hers so I don’t mind you watching it over again. I’ve watched it so many times. And I’m always in awe. It’s the sassiest and funkiest thing she’d ever done. I love these (funk) covers coz we see her personality comes out and the obvious fun she has not even mentioning her skill and command of the song. Anderson saw and even posted this on his IG as well. Actually I like this cover better than the original. Again because Yoyoka put her own touch. Thanks for the reaction Wave. Btw, I’ve suggested this since I’ve started watching you. I think it’s one of the first if not the first cover I’ve suggested for you to react. 🤘🏼🥁👍

[@WavePotter]

My pleasure! It was such a fun video to watch! And thank you for the suggestion! I guess KZbin betrayed us both when i was trying to find who requested it 😆

[@ellebrook3413]

Hi Wave Hope the migraine passes soon cos be interested to see your take on this track too. I really liked the run through then the zoom ins/slow-mo/breakdown of what she was doing. (although even when you slowed it and explained, my brain/eyes couldn't keep up!) The joy she shows is so infectious in this one. I find myself grinning every time I see it and noticed you had a similar reaction. As someone else said, as she gets older, we'll probably see less of those hilarious little extras she threw in here in the 'intervals' , but instead I've noticed how well her demeanor in each cover matches the style of the song she's performing -her quiet power in Dazed and Confused is a great example of this.

[@WavePotter]

Well said. She can really channel the soul of the song! And thank you for watching and suggesting i try to cover this. I'm definitely considering it!

[@tuac11]

So glad that you got to react to this. This is the video that inspired me NOT to throw my sticks away

[@WavePotter]

That right there is so amazing! It's cool to meet other people who've been just as inspired by Yoyoka as i have. And thank you for suggesting this one!

[@michaelirons5662]

hi mt 1 the camera v good 2. well done this must be the only yoyo vid i havent seen her drummings so complex m.

[@patron40silver]

I'm proud to say that I'm part of the 16.6% that is subscribed. Teaser alert! In the next Harry Potter movie, you'll find out that Wave and Harry were conjoined twins.

[@WavePotter]

Legally I can neither confirm or deny that... 😂also thank you!

[@patron40silver]

@@WavePotter You can tell when I don't sleep. My comments go all over the place. Keep up the good work, sir. 👍

[@ThePallidor]

I heard this a couple times and thought, "Yeah pretty funky, nice I guess," and moved on, but as with many of her covers the more I listen the more amazing it gets. How she pulls off the Yoyoka magic each time, gives the song a bloomy excitement, makes it like studying the works of Mozart. Pretty much every cover is there for a reason, rather than just being a collection of covers she happened to get to a presentable level.

[@kwokalisaur]

"a bloomy excitement" is a really good turn of phrase. I'm always struggling to describe what Yoyoka's touch does for a song; "expands all the details", "opens it up" were a few attempts. Nice writing, J J

[@ThePallidor]

@@kwokalisaur Writing is part of what I do for a living yet I've really had to dig to find the words to explain the Yoyoka effect. I saw the word "bloomy" used in some audiophile reviews of top-end speakers. I'm reaching for words that describe the difference between orange soda and fresh-squeezed orange juice, or between a good mango and a fantastic mango. That extra depth of sensory experience that tends to get washed away in verbal descriptions. Each little microsensation a fractal of blooming sensory flowers--that's how it feels to experience something as a child or for the very first time. No jadedness, nothing worn smooth, no social inhibition interfering with what you're allowed to feel. The auto-ignore filter the mind places on the experience of tastes, sights, and sounds so that you are not overwhelmed by the sensory depth of reality as you try to get adult things done in everyday life, such as reading the morning paper while you drink your orange juice, is still not there with her. What makes her a miracle of sorts is how she experiences music with all the heady excitement, detailed sensory apprehension, uninhibitedness and unpretentiousness of a child yet with - as Wave put it - all the restraint, skill, musicality, and overall professionalism of an adult. (A world-class pro adult at that.) She hasn't won her professionalism, as most do, at the cost of those last little ineffable and uncountable details of the childlike experience.

[@gixxerboy555]

Yoyoka also feels the music she's playing..amazing..

[@Glen.Black.]

Great job Wave! Can you put your camera over your Monitor? Then it would look like you're looking at the camera. This girl has FUNK! Like you said her stage presence is awesome. How can she be soooo COOL!!!

[@WavePotter]

I would like to do that, but there's not really a way i could finagle it with my current camera. But i'll keep it in mind for the future! And i wonder that same thing every day. 😂

[@Glen.Black.]

@@WavePotter You know me just trying to be helpful. I actually don't think it's that bad. I think Van3der is about the same. Too me what is a little worse is the size or positioning of your mic which covers half your face. I don't know if it would pick up your voice properly, but what if you lowered it or tilted it back flat? Again, not trying to criticize, hoping to be helpful.

[@WavePotter]

@@Glen.Black. I always appreciate your suggestions! No need to worry 😅

[@patd9380]

Great reaction as always, bro... Gotta see her version of "Virtual Insanity", she puts her own spin on it, and of course it's ridiculously impressive.

[@demi_norm8417]

Been watching you for some time and gotta say you are adorable Mr. Potter! You are very humble and honest. Thanks for being yourself.

[@taishisasahara8624]

Absolutely awesome!

[@anitapaulus937]

She’s so good!! Do yourself a favor and check out Anderson .Paak. He’s amazing. He did a scaled down performance of this song on PBS Tiny Desk Concert. She’s excellent. They way she plays Zeppelin Songs is amazing.

[@doobiejones9388]

She's so cool! Incredible drummer! Seen a Lot of her stuff. Junna is also great. There are few things I'm completely sure of in life. One is that no matter how good you are at something. There is an Asian school girl that can do it better! Great reaction and breakdown brother! 😊😎🤘

[@kwokalisaur]

Hey Wave! Just here for a sneaky read of the comments (before I watch later, cos, at work now) ;)

[@WavePotter]

Love it! :)

[@RahimRahmat]

Ah! Wave's origins of "Kopi mana Kopi?" (means "Coffee, where's the coffee?!" btw) This is fun - you know, going back to your earlier Yoyoka reactions.... 😄

[@rod1575]

Video looks very clear, much better.

[@WavePotter]

Good to hear!

[@TwinTailSteve]

One of my favorites. Joe K and others point out as she gets older she is being more reserved, a shy phase. But her drumming will only grow if she maintains her passion for music. Her road may take her to Jazz. As long as she is playing her "latest addiction" we will all be going to "the amazing wonderland" as Kate once said.....

[@Glen.Black.]

As you know, her road can take her anywhere she wants! Follow the Yoyoka Brick road, follow the Yoyka brick road, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the Yoyoka brick road!

[@340rps]

Just when we think Yoyoka has stratified herself as a great rock drummer, she comes out with a different genre and absolutely nails it not just technically but with the feel for the music. She separates herself from other drummers which makes a case for her being one of the best around.

[@iFoneVids]

Btw, kudos to you for doing this even with a migraine. I can sympathize. It’s not fun doing anything with it. It throws off your whole day.

[@WavePotter]

So true. But thank you for acknowledging that! I hope it's not one of those days for you.

[@glenkelley6799]

Video setup seems very good now. When children are young they have little inhibitions, so her early videos show a lot of expression, as she gets older, some of that may recede as teens start to become more reserved and shy, especially girls. It won't affect her drumming, but she might start to be a bit less expressive (I'm hoping not).

[@racebiketuner]

Thanks for another great vid. Always appreciate your insight.

[@moomakemoney]

She rocks...\m/ 💪😎

[@shlomiB.R.]

Hello Wave, My name is Shlomi and I am from Israel. Nice to see the reactions and also to hear your comments, are definitely of interest. I've been following this amazing talent, for about three years now and have heard her do amazing covers. She has different rhythms besides rock and I wonder if she should also include in her tune songs by big bands that have sung soul music, from the creator of Motown. Bands like The Temptations with the Immortal Songs: Masterpiece. In this song for example, You can hear how his producers built the stages in which the drummer integrates more and more within the song👇🏻 Law of the Land and more. What do you think?

[@mc26collum]

They will come around. I also take time to subscribe and your Yoyoka "kick triplet" did it ^^

[@myob3574]

its the socks!

[@ronlawrence4706]

No problem some of us have watched this dozens of times already. Better than the original. I still want to see your cover of her cover of Stray Cats - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2m7Xn13f5x2eNk

[@randygentry2442]

Funky

[@gizmotis]

funky! not clunky drumming

[@WavePotter]

Well said!

[@scorepion11]

😜😝🤗🌈🤟👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽🇹🇭

[@joekuul8769]

Sadly, she's growing up quickly, and this sort of outright fun is diminishing, methinks. Inevitable, I suppose, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Thanks for the breakdown, Wave. Interesting, as always.

[@audfinn]

Wait! You haven’t listened to Prince!! WTF!

[@francovaderno3532]

So many scrounchers try to attach at the success of Yoyoka. They are just interested that we will open their clip because the name 'Yoyoka' is mentioned. Getting clicks means getting bucks. Why their opinions should be interesting for others? Search for the name of Yoyoka and as result you will also find so many then so many ''Bug drummer reaction ... ' etc. All parasites!

[@StanleyRybolt]

I have not subscribed because you stop so much, it is not enjoyable when you talk all the way thru. Sorry but I love Yoyoka.

[@ConquerWealth.network]

She went in😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
