🥁Drummer Yoyoka’s Profile🥁
Born in October 2009, she started playing drums at the age of two, played live at four, and formed her family band "Kaneaiyoyoka" at five. At 6 years old, she even released her first CD while in kindergarten.
In addition to drums, Yoyoka sings vocals, plays the piano and is a songwriter. In 2018, at the age of 8, she became the youngest weekly champion in the under-18 category of the international female drummer contest "Hit Like A Girl".
Her application video, a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times" was featured on NBC, NPR, in Rolling Stone Magazine and in Billboard and then spread all over the world.
Her drumming prowess has been praised by music legends such as Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Sheryl Crow, Gene Simmons and Eric Singer (KISS), Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Hayley Williams (Paramore), Sass Jordan, Tony Royster Jr., Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine) , Derrick McKenzie (Jamiroquai).
At the age of eight, Yoyoka appeared in Japan's famous rock festival "RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL in EZO" as the youngest performer ever and made a surprise appearance on the stage of Fall Out Boy in "Summer Sonic Tokyo" in front of an audience of 20,000. Later, she was the guest drummer for two songs of Cyndi Lauper’s performance at Tokyo Orchard Hall, the last day of her Japan tour.
Yoyoka is endorsed by world-class brands such as Nike, Moncler, and UNIQLO, filming well-received commercials in Thailand and New York. At the age of eight, she became the youngest drummer ever to sign an endorsement contract with drum makers Pearl and VIC FIRTH, and has since then also signed with Zildjian, CYMPAD and DW.
She made two appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in LA in January and May 2019 where she was praised by Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, and later on had a successful live house at the legendary "Whisky A Go Go".
In April 2019, she was selected as one of Newsweek Japan’s "100 Japanese people respected by the world", the youngest in history.
Pearl showcased her talent the 2020 NAMM show in Anaheim the world’s largest musical instruments trade show. She was the youngest female and only Japanese drummer to appear.
The impact of "Yoyoka" continues to spread worldwide. Her favorite drummers are John Henry Bonham, Chris Coleman, Nate Smith, Chad Smith and David Grohl. Her dream is to travel and play sessions with people all over the world. She is also hoping to preform in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

Play this back and just look at the foot cam, especially at the 04:50 - 05:17 Look at her left foot.....that alone is beyond incredible. She is so in the pocket with the whole song. What a talent. I keep having to remind myself she is only 11! And the JOY on her face is infectious!

Thank you yes she seem to be able to pay anything

[@TXLorenzo]

You don't need to read music when you have a "photographic" sonic memory. I really think she has a phenomenal sonic memory of every song she listens to and that is her real talent and the ability to translate that into her drumming.

[@OldMrB]

Thank you she is a real natural and when she plays she is the music

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Yoyoka is the coolest kid in the world.

[@OldMrB]

And I totally agree 100%

[@tarmaque]

Not to detract from this particular cover which is spot on and a lot of fun, but I think she actually did better on her cover of _Virtual Insanity._ She put some of her own fills in that one that elevate the original. Truly amazing.

[@OldMrB]

Thank you yes Yoyoka is amazing

[@jackspratt7264]

No disrespect, Tarmaque, but you're thinking of something else. This version of "Space Cowboy" that Yoyoka is covering is taken from the 12" U.S. Radio Edit which is totally different from the composition of the song as it sits on the album. And the beat that she's playing on top of this version of the track, from front to back, is only loosely based on that recording. She starts doing open hi-hat flourishes that aren't on that track 3 seconds into the song as an example, not to mention the chorus and the refrain that she plays are all hers including those double opens again. The song as recorded doesn't do those double open hi-hats at all or any of her transitions except the snare rolls that she does after the first verse. Those are actually in the song as it was recorded. But the overwhelming majority of this beat is all her, save the basic structure and tempo.

[@carlalopez4820]

Thank you Mr B! Her past covers are peppered with gems like this, so it's not such a departure. Try her excellent cover of Char - Stormy, at age 7. She's got that jazz beat down! 💖

Stevie Ray couldn't read music either, it's all in their genius brains. I played bass, in a somewhat midling fashion, so hearing her play makes me want to take it up again.... I'm about your age and all but retired.

Ya know Mr B, I knew this drumming pattern was not straightforward, and I knew that she had some difficulty a few years ago with timing changes, but it didn't occur to me that she was publicly challenging herself on these difficulties. Makes perfect sense, I must admit. This video was obviously not designed to get a million views. It was designed to chronicle her challenges. I think you hit the nail with your assessment really.

[@myoman1977]

I would have liked to see her play a little more reserved with this one. More mezzoforte. Jamiroquai is like cruising down a coastal highway. Yoyoka is playing like a stunt driver in a speed couse.

[@OldMrB]

That's Yoyoka for you she hit the drums hard

[@jackspratt7264]

This song was recorded upwards of 4 times officially with around 6 remixes. This version is not the album version. This is the U.S. 12" Radio Edit. It's 3 mins shorter than the album track and features a different drum track and altered musical composition. Yoyoka is even playing it differently from it's recorded version, but even that version isn't mezzoforte. Granted it's not as hard hitting as this, but I applaud her interpretation. She's liked them for years and generally enjoys funk and funk fusion stuff a lot.
