    ABOUT JOJO:
    Swiss born Jojo Mayer started playing drums at an early age. By age 18, he received his first international exposure when touring with Monty Alexander and backing up jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. In the early 1990s, Mayer moved from Europe to New York City, where he performed with a wide range of artists in various styles. Artists that Mayer has performed with include The Screaming Headless Torsos, Meshell n'dege Occello, DJ Spooky, Emergency Broadcast Network, the Vienna Art Orchestra, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Harry Pepl, Gerald Veasley, John Zorn, George Adams, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, John Medeski, Leni Stern, Wolfgang Puschnigg, Friedrich Gulda, Harry Sokal, Steve Coleman's 5 Elements, and Wah Wah Watson. As the bandleader of NERVE, his concepts and techniques of reverse engineering electronic drumbeats in real time on an acoustic drumset introduced a new paradigm and opened the door for an entire generation of musicians to follow. In 2014, Modern Drummer magazine listed him as one of the “50 Greatest Drummers of All Time.”

    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

  • @MiguelAbreuSanchez
    @MiguelAbreuSanchez Před 6 lety +59

    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

      @@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.

    Extremely good topic. I’ve seen Mark Guliana talk about similar topics, how do take a basic concept and stretch it out to its full size. I just tried the paradiddles now, not as RLRRLRLL, but as, where I was sitting: armchair-knee-table-table-cup-armchair-knee-knee. Sounded way cooler than RLRRLRLL on a practise pad. :-)
