Saw this comment when I was a kid, awesome to still see it here 👍🏼

This is the first video I ever liked on KZread... 15 years back

wow, this is amazing! drum n bass makes so much more sense now :) i love the idea he explains of how the beat can be displaced so much by the fact that its like a phrase just being played again and again, beginning on different random beats of the bar, like someone is just pressing the button over and over at different times

Jojo tops them all in my book. He has great ergonomics, a master's level of precision, speed and creative limb independence. Buddy was incredible in so many ways but Jojo is taking the kind of style Buddy laid out to a higher level, equals his speed and grooves like hell. I'm not knocking any of the greats because there's so many I admire. I just haven't seen anyone with an astonishingly broad, multidimensional skill set as Jojo.

I never like this kind of music, untill I heard Mayer play it. He brings a whole new method to this style of drumming and as a result as made a whole new kind of drumming. One word brilliant.

Well you’re an idiot then

Jojo Mayer is the most talented drum set player ALIVE. I have no doubt of that. Extremely talented. He maked those drums sing a beautiful melody. Ridiculous technique, marching snare influenced tricks, beautiful moeller, great around the kit, great from both a visual and musical stand point. The guy is a beast.

I'm seeing a Jojo clinic next month. Anybody seen his clinics before? On a scale of 10 to 10 how awesome was it? Man. Jojo. So awesome.

I enjoy that he shows you what he's doing on practice pads. Makes it easier to understand the subtle variances as well as gives it a unique character of it's own. Nice instructional! Thanx for posting!

his DVD is probably one of the most informative things on technique out there now... and he makes it soo entertaining...

this guy is just AMAZING... not because he plays fast or bullshit like that... hes really saying something on the drums... and the music he plays to in this clip is fantastic

Jojo is a dedicated human being, and he listense to everything, an out there talent, great player, good human being. Good to have you on the planet JOJO.

jojo mayer is IMO, one of the best drummers alive. skill, a really good attitude, and doesnt limit himself to one style of music/drumming.... he's simply amazing.

Best I've seen in 10 years.Really.He's a magician

Too funny atm I'm obssessing with Jojo and Tony Williams, hearing him mention Tony's name was perfect. [omens all around] Love this Jojo's a master, a true master one who continues to advance his craft.

Pure aesthetic with tons of technique. Thanks Jojo!!!

holy shit this guys an animal. He has such a great outlook on drumming and this lesson as well as every other video ive seen with him just shows how versatile he is as a drummer. That bit around 4:00 where he plays and repeats different sections of the same pattern is incredible. Thats what precision is

I totally agree...Jojo is Jojo - he's unique...and such a warm person, modest & humble....great guy.

jojo is just mind blowing. amazing at what he does.

He's a Beast! I like he's creativity and smoothness

dude, the DnB history lesson was righteous. jojo's such a character. great stuff.

Those last 20 seconds of playing, just demonstrates just how good at phrasing Jojo Mayer actually is.

In my opinion. Jojo has become the best drummer of all time. He's taken everything that the greats like Buddy Rich, and Tony Williams, etc. have done in the past and brought drumming to a whole new level. It's truly amazing. I guarantee that if you told him to play any random style of music off the top of your head, that he could do it.

this guy is what all drummers on youtube should look up too when looking for a guide to good tempo and technique.

my dad went to school with him....cool stuff, i already met him aswell, and i know no one cares;D

I've always been IN LOVE with this drum pad. FANTASTIC. :p~~

I have one that I borrowed from the drumline at my school! It's amazing!

Take that!! Awesome drummer.

simply awesome

This is the new jazz in a way, everything is spontaneous.

i love that guy. he is great.has good hands and plays great.can you plya like him i cant.

Damn Right! I said the same thing when I first saw him, then I got so mad I made myself learn his fluid style. It took me several years, but, I finally got the hang of it.

Amazing skill

awesome, crazy guy. Is totally amasing.

Ok... THIS is what I want to learn to play.. Drum N' Bass is amazing.

Mayer is a fucking genius. He isn't just a pair of sick hands and feet. He KNOWS what he's doing and WHY he's doing it.

yeah, he's good too. I saw his d&b - it was pretty wicked as well. They're both great drummers.

Thanks JoJo, now I can breakbeat!

I truly believe this man has mastered the art of drumming.

Hehe, he's swiss, I've seen him on a small stage in Basel, gr8est live dnb I've seen up till now. He plays there every year in return for being able 2 play when he wasn't that famous. gr8 job Jojo

thanks, thats a relief cos i already ordered it an i havnt playd trad in my life! lol

this dude is like the carl sagan of drummers... he takes many concepts from a variety of great drummers from the past and combines them in new and enlightening ways

awesome!

I've seen him live a bunch of times with S.H.T. and the solo stuff. He will take your head off!!

The live tracks were all performances of music from the JoJo Mayer & Nerve album "Prohibited Beats". It's an amazing record!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn! That is so sick.

amazing

Wow. Great skills! Never though human can hit that pattern.

this guy is awesome i saw him live, and he plays with just one bass drum faster than i can do with 2

jojo is magical :)

Jojo Mayer's band is called Nerve, the record is called 'Prohibited Beats' and its from 2007.

thank you!

Daaaaamn, that guy's crazy! Ridiculous technique. I wish I could see him live one day...

ok no question about this he is the best drummer in the world right now...

I never thought of translating my beats into sentences... awesome tip

@fallingfromjupiter Yeap :) Gotta love the drum roll variations, in all of their forms. :)

Great stuff but i would like to hear a few new tunes from jojo. Overall best Modern Drummer in the world, like his jazzy feel. Peace

Our species needed someone like him.

he is unbelievably good

im now obsessed with breakbeats!

very well said, he phrased "phrasing" in very a easy to understand language.

The whole video is sick. But, that final break (5:43 secs) WOW.

that beat on the minisnare is absolutely mindblowing.. god he's so FAST

thanks alot!

There's a great facebook group called "Live Drum&Bass / Jungle Drummers" you guys should check out :-)

the man's a god!!

saw him live in Birmingham today woohoo!!

thanks!

damn !!! he's one of a kind !!!!

this guy got it a lot...the thing he says in the end is right that he isn't try to be a machine but he wants to open a new phase of music...he is the first at this style and i think is very difficult...

i'm guessing it's some midi-trigger type thing so he can get sampled sounds ... this guy is just insane. so badass.

@1Drummer88 I really don't know... I don't get it either. it's astounding to me how some people dislike phenomenal and truly magical talent.

that stuff if awesome.

The really cool thing about all the great drummers is that when theyre up there doing their (yes, all three in one sentence) thing, theyre not even having to think about it. Muscle memory.

jojo is basically the epitome of everything, traceur ;)

The man!

insane drummer

Listen to the first album of the Screaming Headless Torsos, where Jojo is the drummer. It just blows your head off.

Thank you

my king

i want to hear a mix of jojo and Bernard Purdie. Best drummers EVER!!!

Check out his dvd. he is a genius drummer!!

whoa nice

@xCrumblingMirth I definitely agree with your opinion on fast drummers, but I think you should look into some more of Kollias's stuff. Although he plays metal, he's actually a VERY seasoned drummer. If you search around, you'll find some of his other work.

wow this guys good

This dude is on the cutting edge of drumming today.

YEAH, BABY!

ya i totally agree with you

The King of Clean.

4:44 single handed four stroke rolls?

He does these in a few of his videos, such an impressive technique. Can’t tell if it’s a controlled buzz with one motion or four independent flicks of the fingers? Either way it’s incredible

Alguien sabe si el tema que se escucha al inicio esta en algun album y cual es? What is the name of theme(or album) starts the video?

I will vaguely agree that it is a mix of musics from many places, but looking at the basics, it was the mix of the blues (from slave music) and ragtime (a very american development from classical music) that specifically influenced jazz the most, and the people who really first started playing jazz like buddy bolden, jelly roll morton, joe oliver, louie armstrong, etc. were all american without exception. No one played jazz outside the U.S. until the 30's

@fallingfromjupiter Very true :) I am referreing to the original sample in this case, though. But yeah, I think it is pretty common to play it like that.

good video

Anyone know what kind of little practice kit he's playing in that vid while he's talking? I'd LOVE to have one of those for my apt. Quieter than an acoustic set, cheaper than a V-drum set. I would really like to get one if I can find out what it is. Any help appreciated!

Anyone know the link to the youtube vid that compiled all of the outside drum n' bass solo's that Jojo did outside on DVD...I can only find the slow motion one

I just love that kind of dnb played in the background... Is there a name for the tune or the style ?

Dude, excellent comment.

Check out the DW go anywhere practice pad set. It's only around $140 and it has 4 main pads and a kick pad. Probably the best deal in a practice pad setup.

so interesting
