Wow. Mind Blown!!! Learned more in seventeen minutes than a year of private intermediate lessons.

I come back to this every few years to remind myself of the important things.

Its insanely cool when you actually understand what musical ideas he is portraying. Its like being part of what you are doing at the moment and narrating yourself through complexity but still being grounded and not break in to bad habits that will break the musical flow and integrity

The combination of trained hands with sticks, 1,000's of hours with his kit and his drums are HOT in the mics here. Brother is total BOSS and we are lucky to have him with us and be blessed by this man's dedication and passion.

this snare tone. from heaven...

Jojo's last comments are some of the most brilliant I've heard from any clinician. Incredible!

Every time I hear Jojo talk, he distroys the bad habits that i accumulate as a drummer. He reminds me the most important thing.. the musicality. We often get lost in tons of patterns without really get the true potential out of them. Sometimes we forget important musical concepts like timber, tension, DYNAMIC.

@@sharpisharp Yes, but the patterns have to serve the music. I'm a guitar/bass player and it's the same with scales. You can practice all the scales and modes in the universe, but if you can't make music with them, you're useless as a musician.

always gotta go "um...ok.. so you see...so..." right after a grove so it's award to applaud... b appreciate the clap jojo!

He's so musical with such a simple pattern.. Amazing

jojo mayer did so much for the drummer community, he´s miles ahead of every other drummer.

Darth Vader I wonder what Darth Vader's example of a great drummer is. If Jojo is Yoda then who is The Emperor, or Darth Vader? Probably Thomas Lang.

Massive respect to JoJo

Jedi master of uncommon ability! Perfect the craft and make music

JoJo is SUCH a gift to drumming! Outside the box - totally original - and here he explains himself (as we see why he's unique)

A very milestone on independence 🙌

So much material to be inspired by and learn from in this short extract alone. So lucky to have this information at the end of our fingertips.

Brilliant man, excellent insights. I feel my drumming IQ going up every time I watch him and 2x every time I hear him speak. 😂

An absolute genius.

This is one of the most important things I've ever heard about music in general, and maybe even about life. What a man.

his mind is so elevated

Thanks for posting....so much more in rudiments/patterns to "meditate on" .....the concept of accents in different places isn't new but how often is it focused upon on a daily practice. Thanks Jojo!

Jojo expands my mind every time I see him. His playing and thought process are on another level and he’s able to open up areas that I’d never even considered exploring before. Fantastic !

I saw him at the Mercury Lounge in NYC several years ago. Amazing drummer. I was standing right next to him by the front of the the stage!!!

Those drums are SOOOO pretty! I'll never forget playing for hours with my buddy paul, who is also a drummer, when we came across Jojo Mayer (through videos)...Great memories and HOURS of practicing came about!

that snare sound. wow!

Excellent lesson.

Such a fascinating thinker and player. He really expands your mind with his approach to his instrument.

Brilliant lesson on how to apply real creativity

I love that he is so insanely technical and all about the music.

Good god, that kit sounds beautiful. Kudos to the sound engineers, too; I've complained about the sound quality of some of the PASIC videos, but this one sounds great. A great lesson on orchestration/voicing, musicality and creativity. I love it when drummers with amazing technical skills put all of it aside and teach folks about different ways to *think* about playing...

Oh my God, I watched 16:05-16:15 like 20 times. I chuckled along at the first example he gave, and then he also poked fun of using it in that quick fill context and realized that I was guilty of it too. Jojo is so many leagues ahead of me that just when I think I've done good, he makes fun of the concepts I'm proud I can do lol. He's so good. Love him.

Thank you so much for that lesson. I now have a new way to meditate and practice. Jojo IS a Jedi!

There clearly is a philosophical side to playing a instrument. Jojo just wanted you to realize that and express yourself thru whatever pattern feels good to you. That's all, he's trying to do you a favor.

Really great spot from Jojo. Always interesting

Great Advice, Jojo!!

What a great lesson!!!!

Amazing !....

Inspiring as always

Excellent!

Whoever mic'd his drums, good job!

Ok. This three (out of four) beat motif is the one I need to learn. Already kind of learned it. Thanks JoJo!

imo the best today...

omg that snare sounds awesome

btw, JoJo is a legend already.

A paradiddle is a fish... I’m playing the aquarium by a stream, a stream of consciousness in communication with the mass off the molecular divisions of the ether - and now a pizza - extra cheese.

The Legend

O melhor!

sick!!

Linear drumming is like a different dimension... I haven't even started exploring it... So much to practice...

1:05 🤣 Jojo: What is a paradidle? Audience: quak quak quak quak quak quak!!!!

Jojo is my favorite drummer and the reason why I fell in love with Drum N' Bass. He makes the drums sing so well!

There was a piece I played on toms in college that utilizes this approach of accenting in a pattern bring up other patterns, sort of like phasing on marimba. The secret " way more complicated than it actually is" , is the key.

Great Artist with talent of teacher, incredible musician even i am as guitarist learn so many fundamental things that a lot of guitarist is missing at all and first at all ability to hear music. Be creative, music not a sport as many beginners treat it

brilliant
