yeah there's enough there to keep her going for awhile.

[@gustafsone]

It seems like a natural progression to me. She started with Bonzo and mastered his patterns, then she figured out Steward Copeland's insanity. Neal Peart seemed like a logical peak to strive for. While she killed this song, I'd love to see her tackle some of the more challenging drum parts from Rush. I think she can do it!

Sweet Jesus...she found Rush.

Ghost notes?

@@travelinman482 it's a filler beat played on the snare drum. It's a slight tap to keep the rhythm. Easy to learn, hard to master. She's using it like she's been playing for 30 years. This kid's talent level is WAY beyond her years.

She just covered the 🐐 with a 6 set. Not to mention she's 11 years old. This is once in a blue moon talent.

[@gbulmer]

I agree with your assessment: "This is once in a blue moon talent". She is a great talent, full of joy, yet hard working, humble and kind. However, a tiny correction: she was 10 years old, not 11. AFAIK, she's still at Elementary school. She played a little bit of YYZ recently. I think on a live stream? It was effortless for her. I was genuinely shocked. Happy New Year to You and Yours.

[@Petergoforth]

A dancer might be technically excellent, but still counts steps. Exceptional dancers simply hear and dance to the music. This is what Yoyoka does.

[@koshersalaami]

Living inside the music is a precise description of her playing. I’ve used different language to describe that about her. It’s like she’s dancing to the music but using drums instead. She’s the most natural drummer I’ve ever seen. This is aside from the fact that she’s a technical monster; I’m talking about something else, like I think you are.

[@Jesse-B]

@@koshersalaami The technical details such as the foot shimmy on those precise double kicks, and that apparently sentient high hat, certainly set her apart, but Yoyoka's talent runs far deeper than technique, as you so rightly pointed out.

I absolutely love how much fun she's having ... while at the same time nailing it. Amazing ... hats off!

[@befrank64]

You make me cry with joy! I grew up with RUSH living here in Toronto and you play this song so beautifully. You have made it, actually long ago, as an elite drummer! Awesome!

[@chanepettit3060]

She is one of the best drummer's iv ever seen. She has fun

[@AlizeeDefan]

4:00 whattttttttt!

[@Chris-is1rd]

Yeah. that shit happened

[@Chimp_6]

The Professor would applaud that one!

[@seandavidfreyou4169]

If Neil was alive he would wonder why he didn't think of that 🤯🤯

[@axslinger99]

Gives ya chills. This kid is in the pocket!

[@davidmacphee3549]

Another REAL SuperGirl!

[@jarmyvicious]

I just cried a little bit while smiling... I love this little girlie so much, I am so proud of you!

[@lesallison9047]

Made me cry aswell

[@jarmyvicious]

@@lesallison9047 she is so sweet I well up with pride!

[@jerrystern11211]

I feel the same way. Give the goosebumps watching her master the drum

[@jarmyvicious]

@@jerrystern11211 that happy little girl houses an old soul...

[@goodboogie]

Ya I’m sitting in a Bulldozer right now watching a cute little Asian girl destroy a top ten all time awesome drum focused rock song and the corner of my eyes are wet. There is hope for the future.

[@jjp2939]

Zepp大好きです!！ラッシュも好きです! 私、ベースを弾いてますが、Zeppのレモン・ソングとラッシュのYYZはコピーしました。　もう、この子は色んな意味で凄すぎます!!　次回は、ジェフ・ベックの曲とか聴けると嬉しいな　(^o^)

[@bobloblaw2958]

Peart would have been so proud of her.

[@aceofspades9785]

He IS!!!

[@lachd2261]

There are drummers three times your age who can’t do this. Unbelievable

[@asiastreets4032]

I am one of them

[@shogun1]

An me too

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

And 4 times, and 5 times, and 6 times, and 7 times ... I read many reactions on her by experienced drummers who have been playing for 50 years, who say that she does things that they still do not master

[@jjs2351]

I couldn't stop smiling throughout this performance. What a treasure Yoyoka is !

[@CaliBorn73]

The only thing that could possibly outweigh her talent, is the immense joy she exudes while playing What a treasure.

[@chadkline4268]

Yes, the facial+bodily expressions. It's so hard to describe, but every part of her being is expressing itself, radiating effortlessly. She's there, but in another way, she's not there. It's like she's enjoying being the conduit between an invisible source and the drum set; without thought, without any resistance or concern. Everything just unfolds as it should, with explosive power and impeccable timing; and she delights in the phenomena as much as we delight in her.

[@angrykermit3192]

In a way I'm not surprised she's good at such a young age. When someone is born to do something they're always good at it right away. When you're this good you don't learn it, you unleash it.

[@volstaggleba5865]

Underrated comment here

[@JDHood]

I'd like to think that "The Professor" would be very pleased and very proud of you, Yoyoka!

[@charliekhoury9100]

You’ve now mastered the 2 greatest drummers of all time. Bonzo and Neil. Well done young lady and keep smiling.

[@allenbingham8475]

I Just Caught Her Now Kron 4 News SF What The Good Heavens is This I Thought I was Gonna Cry

[@ksoliel9347]

Omg!!! I'm a Rush fanatic! I don't think I've ever heard ANYONE cover Rush's Neil Peart as well as she did, & 10yrs old? God, Watch over her, bc she might end up being one the best drummers who's ever existed! Love ya Yoyoka!❣️🎆❣️!

[@gabrielszarose5640]

Agree she's on her way.

[@rodmunce2328]

This is a very complex drumming to cover and she nails it with a kit that doesn't have as many cans as the original. And a real cool song as well and she is so into it. I can't but laugh cuz she's having such a great time.

[@DeanTheLaughingMann]

Neil may have died, but his spirit enriched hers with more talent.

[@PureMetalBanzai]

@Matthew Thomas Why does there always have to be toxic people in comments? Man STFU

[@gt1man931]

@Matthew Thomas I bet she is miles ahead of where Neil was at 10(13). 13, he didn't even own any kit until 13. She has been sitting behind a kit since she was 2. If this girl decides to stick with it she will be a world class top drummer long before Peart made the ranks.

[@davidcosten8508]

All I can say is WOW! There are some musicians that have that something special that can’t be described and this young lady has “it”. You can’t teach someone to do that, it’s flowing from her soul. Tremendous talent.

[@johnbrunet9931]

When I was 6yrs old, I use to whack the couch with a pair of stick, I've always wanted a kit. Because I stumbled across her videos, last week, at 48yrs, I bought my first set. Tks kid.

[@paulbickford8715]

Yoyoka never ceases to amaze. I was hoping she would do some Rush, and she crushed it. (By the way, for anyone who may not know, YYZ is the airport code for Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport.)

[@dvs6121]

Just a coincidence? Did Rush pick those letters because of the airport? I heard the song title was for the syncopated morse code of symbols YYZ (in the intro).

[@frankdeluca5983]

And the opening notes are Morse Code for YYZ

[@RahimRahmat]

When you see her play as an 8 year old girl, you love her for it. But looking where she is at right now, it's really sheer RESPECT that I have for this girl. Just pure respect man.....

[@helmerkappert5152]

Seeing the joy on her face and her full engagement,while performing this song makes me appreciate this song so much more!!

[@gracie992001]

Well, that's it. Nothing she does surprises me any more. I've seen a lot of drummers cover this, but her footwork is especially flawless, and that's the hardest part.

[@darrenjreynolds22]

Speechless....the world is your's for the taking....shine on little girl...shine on ☺

[@SoCalFreelance]

I suppose it was only a matter of time before we reached this point.

[@chrisc3016]

Drummers around the world hope to have yoyoka cover one of their songs, only to realize after,its not theirs anymore!!!!!

[@johndial3934]

Neil Peart is looking down and smiling.

[@standoughope]

The stick wave at the end is adorable... at this rate she'll own her own drumming university by age 20! 🤩

[@SVDBYJC]

I spent more time learning this song than this little one has been alive

[@sketmr1407]

もう何回も見てます。 この曲をコピるドラマーたくさんいますが 私的によよかちゃんがnumber 1❣️ テクニック、リズム、グルーヴ、そして何より enjoy❗️ いつまでも楽しむアーティストとして頑張って欲しいです！

[@kevinlane7555]

All I can say is ...Wow!!!....Drummers are going to watch this and think..'I've either got to get busy, or just hang it up'....
