Jojo Mayer's incredible performance at Session Music Frankfurt [15.04.2011]. This was the last day of his drumclinic-tour through Germany together with Mike Portnoy.
@davidflood I'd venture to say ppl are there to watch him in a technical way rather than to enjoy what is done; it was a clinic tour, not a show, after all.
@NerfLad it's basically the edge of a cymbal cut out to fit that snare. Not only is jojo one of the greatest players out there today, he's also pushing the drums further as an instrument.
@indiscipline I agree. I didn't mean to be condescending with my "1 & 3" comment. It's just an observation. Regular indian people grow up hearing ragas that are rhythmically so complex that not many professional western musicians can even play them, yet they probably sing along to it like we sing along to "Rosamunde". On the other hand some of the greatest music ever came from germanic roots.. Bach, Beethoven, Techno......
@indiscipline Jojo Mayer is a good old friend of mine, we first met when he was 15 and I was 17 in Zurich where we both grew up. We played together through the years in different situations. Although a funny stereotype, there is some truth to germanic people clapping on 1 and 3, I think it goes back to centuries of Folklore and Polka rhythms which are all based on 1 and 3 (oompah), never on 2 and 4 like many rhythms of afro american music. Many can never shake it off, especially non musicians:)
Funny story....JoJo foresaw the "gospel take over" way back in the 90's/early 2000's because they were studying guys like Vinnie Colaiuta,Chambers,Weckl and playing their ideas with their own touch. Hence why he's good friends with drummers like Aaron Spears.
, went to clinic in christchurch the majestic in new zealand . , I must say the sound was way too loud and not mixed right. found it hard hear the "perfect balance"and the drums drowned out the music so was hard to hear the melody at times/ Also too much techno drumming kind of board me a bit although the music was good its nice to hear other un programed instuments and not so d&b all the time . some of the audience questions were rude too.but were answered quite well. Ride Playing was MINT!
@indiscipline No never, atleast not Jojo´s signature model. Maybe they were waiting for Portnoy whose pyrotechnics are a bit more shall we say "obvious"....
JOJO Mayer is the MACHINE!!!! FIVE STAR FOR HIM
A perfect human electronic machine
Nice job.
Awesome stuff.

Lol, Portnoy. Imagine how terrifying it'd be knowing you're gunna be blown off the stage every night by Jojo.
