Video

It must be that Jojo sees the world in 240fps, so all appears super slow motion to him. Insane control as always.

I remember when me n u started doing rock climbing at RBPS

?

The best part about this comment is that Jojo Mayer would probably say you tune your drums wrong and that your cymbals sound like shit and I, along with most people, would trust Jojo Mayer more than some random drummer.

how did he beat travis barker ???

Cool. The dude can play, fo sho.

sick!

disco stu from the simpsons.

I liks his ability to play with 4 part independence.

hey BulmmerDrummer you have loot in this show?

Funny Tshirt lol

travis barker disliked the video

I didn't knew Dr. House could play the drums that well..

man you're a fucktard. jojo can make a trash can lid(which his sabians are not) sound way fucking better than you on your whole kit. I agree whatever device recorded this messed with the sound. but surely jojo is one of the most dynamic,interesting and innovating drummers in our modern era. He should be a respected influence for all of us drummers. even though you seem pretty dumb.

Jojo Mayer is the closest Natural Link to Buddy Rich alive , bar Steve smith and dave weckl , his hands are the most accurate and precise ive heard let alone seen,i love his Frenetic jazz style , re the Drum sound on this Vid -Its shitty and cardboard sounding and obviuosly the vid is not capturing the Desk of FOH . But his playing is Fucking Phenomenal , The potty cardboard sound is not eminating from him or his tuning , its a Mix or room thing 100%

the man is not a "jazz giant" but he is defenatly a pioneer

Yeah dude, you're so right. That dude who is shitting about jojo is a bit odd. JoJo is certainly not tone def, the drums are exactly good and if you're so good can i see a video of you? And if you're jealous dont complain about someone else! -Someone who want's to be that good like JoJo

haha, looks like they have a mic for his hair

Then why is Jojo the famous one? Where's your name on drummerworld?

agree. and for a dude who has played drums for 41 years, he has zero videos on youtube, which means he is only here to belittle people... fine life he has carved out for himself.

to bad Dead Boy , call him up and maybe he will let you suck on his stick !

wow you must be sooooooooooooooooooooo good at drums

Jojo is the real JUNGLIST

I love this guy. I've always know of Jojo but never really listened to much of his stuff. Until like two weeks ago i started watching his vids on here. The first time i sat down at my kit after watching his videos, things i didnt know i could do came out of me.Things i had never thought of before...it was a blast to play and discover new grooves and fills..suprising myself over and again.I find Mr. Mayers playing to be extremely entertaining and really inspiring to my own playing

if your going to record your skills to show everyone in the world on youtube... perhaps it would be a very good idea to borrow , rent or buy the very best camera and microphones ! dads old super 8 home movie camera never seem to produce the very best ! maybe if he viewed this clip on youtube he just might pull it down .

Oh shut the fuck up. Jojo has one of the most interesting drum sounds around. Also, although it is quite apparent from the video that the correct spelling of the company is "Sonor", this somehow managed to allude you. Bravo.

Jojo Mayer is one of my major drumming influences.

pure awesomeness!!!

until the bass walk jojo mayer

When i see playing like this... i can pass on sound quality ! ;)

Poor recording exceptional drummer!!

bass drum sounds like shit.

Looks like Jesus got a perm!

Интересно, что происходит в его голове, пока он играет..

@Ramshackled17 yessss, such a tight feel for it

I loved it! Is only a pity that is saturated.

i really suck when alien's playing

1:41 Great double stroke roll.

A whole lot of this is recycled grooves from his solo @ Bath, UK. Not that it's a bad thing, just that it shows how a drummer applies the same parts of his vocabulary in different settings. Check it out. : ]

Love JoJo And Love NERVE

HE IS GREAT DRUMMER , BUT THIS " MUSIC" IS SHIT !

lol @ comments about a bad engineer or kit. the sound in this video was recorded by the camera's built in mic...get a clue please.

For a "shit" sounding kit these sound pretty damn great to me! Not a huge fan Omni's though. Nice but they just seem a bit too electronic for my tastes.

Jojo's been the shit for so long now it's ridiculous. first came to mass public attention in 98 modern drummer fest if I'm not mistaken.

I knew him when he was a little guy.. in 1994 I played bass with his then 12 year old brother for a while. (Weird strange story) He'd come to rehearsals and blow us away with his talent even then..we even had him get up at our gig and play for the crowd.. I don't know exactly how old he was at the time but I do remember he could barely reach the drum pedals.. didn't matter though. Its really good to see the man he grew up into and to know he is still playing. Always amazing Jody!!

@lgttb1 I will see Jojo in person next week and probably won't embarrass myself by telling him to pull this video - especially since he wasn't the one who posted it. Pretty sure he doesn't mind it being here and it's the least of his worries that someone isn't a fan. I can hear past the poor sound quality and appreciate the performance. But I am a fan. You are entitled to your opinion but you can't have everyone remove videos that aren't aligning with your personal taste - that's just silly :)

@chrisgeorgenes ? if he used audio engineers and this was the best they could do , i hope he fired them . i commented on this video clip alone and i clearly stated it sounded like shit and i not a fan of his style of play. call him at home and tell him to pull this video.

@bballz05 to bad Blue Balls i don't like his style or the sound of his set . he dose have a load of speed and talent but i do not care to watch him let alone her him play. i am willing to bet you do not enjoy hearing every drummer you see .

@lgttb1 Probably the most versatile drummer I have ever seen. From Nerve to his jazz trio Depart, he displays 2 opposite ends of the musical spectrum and shines doing both. I've been playing for 34 years and after discovering Jojo, I realize how little I know about playing drums. I used to think I was better than average until Jojo came along. I have gone back to sticks and a drum pad because of him and I've never been more excited about playing drums and being a drummer.

@lgttb1 There are countless videos across the web and DVD that show Mayer playing with an incredible sounding Sonor kit. You are judging the poor quality of this recording. It's obvious this was recorded using a pro-sumer or lesser quality video camera. Take into account the acoustics of the room and the effects the audio engineer used and it's hardly valid to criticize Jojo's talent based on these factors. Like him or not, he's clearly one of the best players today.
