I was wondering how he always got such a unique cross stick sound on his snare...never realized he grazes the side of the small hats on the way down. Genius!

I’m showing this to anyone who claims they need 8 tom toms on their kit so they can get a fuller sound. Simply amazing!

I love this. Jojo just took us on a journey through a drum solo. Heres a drummer with crazy fast chops but doesn't have to pull them out to wow everybody.

this is actually a song called mindwash, but I see what you mean

What a wonderful musician. Jojo has technique sufficient to light the kit on fire at any time. Yet he creates a specific mode of tension by selectively deploying it and whipping it out once he's lulled us into a deep, melodically induced trance. Further, to hear him speak about his concepts regarding his musicality is like going on a transcendental journey to a mystical land! There's a lot of cats out there that I like to listen to. Jojo has been anointed in a very unique way.

Wow! I love the way he's able to subdivide that slow 12/8 beat and make it sound like he completely changes time signatures and tempos all at once. But he maintains that same tempo and the same slow 12/8 beat and keeps coming back to it. Try tapping your foot along to the quarter note while he's playing those crazy subdivisions and polyrhythms and see if you're still in tempo when he comes back to the slow 12/8 groove. It requires quality listening skills as well as a strong internal clock.

He does use a china but not always. It's usually on his right but I've seen one on the left as well. He likes to change his setup from time to time. Two Ominis or one Omni and a Fierce Ride, etc. His stack evolves too, it's usually a (Fierce) hihat top on a china but in this case it's a prototype that I don't recognize.

@Bluums

6 жыл бұрын

He used to play an 18'' or 19'' AAX (or similar) china that was placed on his left side, next to the secondary snare, that was until 2011, then he switched it to right side, next to the 8'' tom. In 2015 he stopped using a china. And in 2107 he stopped using the left side Omni (at least with Nerve) :)

I liked that he made it a part of the performance and then was like "screw it" towards the end and threw the other stick. lol

i love his drum set up. so simple yet so intricate and complex. i definitely need to get rid of a tom tom and implement a side snare.

Honestly, how can anyone "dislike" this video? But who cares though, this guy is a Drum Legend! Great video!

That effortless switch from match to traditional grip impressed me more than anything he actually played lol.

It's crazy how when he messes up you barely notice. He clicked the stivks, missed a drum and dropped a stick and then he threw the other stick and said" to hell with it, I don't need it". and proceeds to produce beautiful music. That's a true professional man. That's what we should all inspire to be. Man I love the Drums.

what a work! sound, timing of speed, artistic way of playing, musicality, everything in control, effortless...what else?! lovin it

Mr. Jojo!! You are amazing

Sou fã desse cara!!!

One of the coolest things about this piece that I think a lot of people haven’t noticed is in the beginning with the cross sticks. He’s coming down on that mini hat side swiping it right before he hits the rim on his snare. It’s like he’s doing a one handed flam cross stick! Little things like that are so creative and that’s what makes Jojo one of the greatest drummers of all time!

The monochrome with the dark red background looked amazing. It really added to the feel of the performance.

One of my favorites!!!!!!

fantastic performance, thank you for the inspiration!

Wow, amazing. Great timing, brilliant.

Magical... I'm going to watch it again.

I was so tired of drummers that just played like only speed and acrobatics were important. Then I discovered Jojo and some other drummers and a whole new world opened for me. This is a guy that really finds the musicality of the solo in every note keeping the groove and making the drums sing

top 3 favorite solo in my book. unique as it gets!

Watched his group three times in Beijing. This guys has the never expiring creativity passport.

to me this was simply flawless!

Great floor tom sound! .....and also the entire drumset

Jojo is always inspiring to watch and listen to

I love when he drops one stick and then like a total beast throws the other one and plays with his hands. I've had that same experience one too many times where you relax too much and you into it that you just lose your sticks. Thanks for the idea Jojo!!! Sounded great as usual!

This is just amazing.

The song is called Mindwash from his album The distance between zero and one with Nerve if anyone was wondering I love it, I saw them live in Paris in 2019, they are simply out of this world AMAZING, most of what they do is improvised live and at the end they were very friendly and chatty, all of them are masters in their area.

perfect tone for the drums :D

This is a good lesson in Dynamics. A kaleidoscope of sounds can be created and enjoyed.

Im not saying Jojo isn't a well known drummer, at all, but i think he deserves WAY more recognition than he appears to get. He's TOO good. God damn.

Jojo is an incredibly musical player, the amount of motivic development in his soloing is insane!

What a great artist and a great drum sound! Evans heads are definitely some of the best sounding heads I've heard. I still have Remo Pinstripes on my set but I've used Evans on other kits and they are just absolutely immense! Just need to bring myself to buy some new Evans heads. Everything from D'Addario company is just great product, cables, strings, sticks, but especially Evans heads! Keep doing what you're doing Evans and I'll eventually get around to buying some new skins to put on my set for my KZread videos!
