• Good Times Bad Times -...
Today on the channel, we are looking at a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times" performed by 8 year-old prodigy @yoyoka_soma. She was absolutely phenomenal and her technique for being so young is unreal! She definitely made John Bonham proud with this performance and I can't wait to see where she is today! Hope you enjoy! #reaction #drums #drummer #ledzeppelin #johnbonham #yoyoka #goodtimesbadtimes

She is absolutely incredible! What else should we check out from her?!
Great reaction and welcome to the world of YOYOKA! Excellent observation on her foot technique. She explains it here in this adorable drum lesson: czcams.com/video/B5EUmV9Jz-E/video.html
@@Rob-Yule Oh sweet! Thanks so much! Gotta check that out! 🤘🏻
Here she is at a club recently doing GTBT with a band she never played with, she has no rehearsal, never played this kit, and cowbell is nowhere near her usual spot. She is a beast.

Go check out the video same video where Robert plant is watching this same video and he commented I know where she can get a job
The Hokkaido Hammer is 14 now and lives in the USA with her family. She's doing live gigs, her own music, jazz albums... the works.
Incredible, that’s awesome for her!
Tom Morello was at her house the other day.
@@powbobs Wow!!! So cool!
@@setonhillstudios
That’s exactly what she said.

‘Learning Guitar From Tom Morello!
There is one thing you should notice. She is self-taught. Before she could even talk, she was always drawn to the drums. When her parents practiced she would always crawl towards them. And the only foreign band that her parents knew about was The Beatles, they had never heard of Led Zeppelin before her. All the songs and bands she discovered by herself. And learn how to play by herself, only by ear. And I think that is a big difference. She was pushing her parents from the start, not the other way around (what is usually the case).
Yes, there is a nice video where she explains how she works to make and record a cover. And this was maybe when she was 10. First she searches for a song she likes. Then she learns it. Then she sets up the recording of sound and video, tunes the drums etc. Then she do the recording. Then she edit it. Then she upload it. Never did she say, then I asked dad to ... not even when it did come to choose music. Because her dad did not really know about all bands she found and liked.
I follow her for 6 years now.... She's so happy to play... YOYOKAよよか
So talented!
She's playing at The Whisky a Go Go jam night Tuesday. She's a regular there
Threats awesome!
8 years old, hitting those triples - and she's only gotten better.
So wild! Thanks for watching!
As others have said, Yoyoka's only gone from strength to strength, and is now living in the US, in LA. She's had a mix of self-teaching and some great mentors, and just raw natural talent.
She's covered some of the most difficult drum parts in her cover videos, and live, and is part of the Ken Okada (spelling?) jazz ensemble, which I believe has a Grammy winning sax player as part of the group. She's getting regular notice by some major names; her cover of Deep Purple's Burn was actually reacted to on CZcams by the master himself Ian Paice, and Robert Plant favourably reviewed this particular performance lol.
Check out more on her channel. She's got some wonderful original material in which she is clearly challenging herself and leaving us all in awe hehe.
Definitely have to go down the rabbit hole! Thanks so much!
At least until she graduated from elementary school, she did not read music, everything was by ear. And she taught herself to play the drums and was named to Drummer World's Top 500 at age 11.
As I told her mother, she is music herself.😆

That’s incredible! Such a prodigy!
She's grown and has even better videos out now. We all saw this a few years ago.
Yeah, I’m late to the party but never late then never! She’s definitely unbelievable!
Hate to be contirevsial but already one to the best drummers already. Go down the rabbit hole you will find out.
Somewhere on CZcams is a video of Robert Plant being interviewed, and the interviewer shows him this video. Needless to say, he's impressed. He says that this isn't an easy track to play.
She did a BTS video where she explained the process behind her cover videos. She does the microphones, the cameras, the editing... but the thing that blew my mind was when she said she only needs to listen to a song 2 or 3 times before she can play it...
DUDE, this is 6 years old!!! Where have you been? WTH??? She's already made the Drummer's Top 500 list!!!!
Guess I’ve been slipping! 🤷🏻♂️ Better late than never though! She’s incredible!
She was born October 2009. She sat in with pro bands pre teen (Fall Out Boy and Cyndi Lauper) and was gigging at 6 years old. There is a you tube video of her at that time playing a stripped down version of "Onyx" and taking solos. Her progress has been stellar. The youngest person to be endorsed by pearl, and you can listen to anything she has done since and be pretty amazed. Ian Paice (who watched her "Burn" cover, Robert Plant (Who saw this) and Dave Grohl have all praised and encouraged her. She can play anything. She now resides in the USA and plays jam nights at the Whiskey A Go Go, behind pro musicians who seem to love her. At now 14 years of age she is beyond pro standard, and is cited among the top 500 drummers world wide. You'll have to check out her studio performance of the Ocean where in one take, no rehearsal and no click track she played with a then 9 year old Ellen (Bass), and teenagers Eva (vocal) and Mateo (guitar), the Led Zeppelin song "The Ocean". Four amazing young musicians. I love that she does the take and posts it errors (very rare) and all. I say cherry pick your favorite tracks. She's next level now. Check out her covers of Colorado Bulldog (recent) or Led Boots (Recent) and you'll see. I've enjoyed watching this young lady grow up behind the kit having found her during Covid, and now you've found the rabbit hole it's a great place to spend some time. Shout out to her parents and mentors too for feeding the dream. Have fun and be well.
Appreciate all the awesome information! It is unreal how talented she is already! Can’t wait to see where her career takes her! Have a great one!
@@setonhillstudios She is a talent. Thanks for the reply. Be well.
She's around 13, now and living in LA. Here, she is playing a Jeff Beck tune. czcams.com/video/IrQpzUec004/video.html Amazing!!! The best part for me is that she seems to be so happy! That's the best part. Life is beautiful!
So awesome!
i think she's 14 now. lives and plays in socal. played with many big name stars, regular player at the Whiskey, records jazz fusion professionally. yeah, shes pretty good.
She’s amazing! Such a killer player! 🔥 Thanks for watching!
You are correct! She will be 15 on Oct 12. No disrespect intended. Except for the "pretty good" part. Pretty good is for really talented kids "for their age". She is "awesome", and able to play things many drummers with 20-30 years experience are just simply unable to play. She was voted one of the Top 500 Drummers OF ALL TIME (by DrummerWorld) at age 11, youngest ever. Prodigy level for sure.
@@Glen.Black. And yet through it all, she keeps it real and so humble, a real team player. From what I've seen of her sweet personality I don't think she'll ever fall into the trap of being so full of oneself that often happens. She respects her craft as well as others, and respects music in general no matter what the genre. Her family is also to be admired for their support and participation, as well as guidance from friends like you Glen.
@@markdecker6190 Thanks Mark! I agree 100% with you. You are spot on! I spent a lot of time with her and her family in Las Vegas when they home stayed with me. She is so kind and polite. The music business, as you know has a dark side that many get sucked into. I really have no concern of her falling into that. I met EllenPlaysBass through her and attended her recording session of "The Ocean". Ellen lives less than 2 miles from me and I have remained friends with her father Hovak. I bought YOYOKA, her father and two friends tickets to the Silk Sonic concert and I got to sit next to her and watch her taking everything in. Then, because of her, I got to go backstage and meet Anderson.Paak, who treated us wonderfully. She gave me a personal concert after I asked her if she ever played anything with chopsticks, and she said no. I grabbed every empty container I could find and set up a "kit". Her mom held the pieces in place while I recorded it for myself. Definitely a highlight of my life! Fortunately she has a lot of fans that feel the way we do. Thanks again for your comment!
@@markdecker6190
Yup, she reminds me of Senri
What is hip from Tower of Power showcases her true talent above the rest of covers
Had to listen to her play this at least 6 times before I could accept it was not some type of trick. I4 yrs old and is a master. She went on to play numerous Led songs and is known by her followers as Jon Bonhams reincarnation. Not to be pigeon holed at nine years old she did a ton of rock songs with incredible skills and actually sat in for the drummer of Fall Out Boy to play a song in concert at 9yrs old. She has gone on to play many songs of highly accomplished drummers. Plays with professional artist at the Whiskey A Go Go. As she and her family recently moved to the USA.
Yoyoka has only continued to improve.
Can’t wait to hear more and what she sounds like today! Thanks for swinging by! 😁
Weekly!, right....lol
Her parents are both musicians and as a one-year old she got to play around with anything she wanted...and she locked on the drums. By the time of this video she had already been playing for 7 years! Google her name, read her story, watch more videos. And she has a younger brother who is playing guitar and singing also.
speaking of somewhere.. she is now a regular guest drummer at the whisky a go go in Hollywood.. we call her the Hokkaido Hammer. :)
Listen to her cover of Sting - Seven Days. She might actually perform is better than Vinnie Colaiuta. It's mind bending.
Around this era and maybe even a bit younger, she had some really cute drum lesson videos on youtube where she teaches the Bonham grooves and triplets etc.
Oh cool! I gotta try and find those! Thanks
@@setonhillstudios
She started giving lessons on CZcams when she was five years old.
Yes she’s 14 now
This girl was incredible at 8, and now she's world class. Just about every single one of her solo covers reward multiple viewings.
The next vid you should watch from her channel has to her rendition of Senri Kawaguchi's Onyx. Jazz rock live in a band in a bar at 7. Senri is another drummer from Japan you might look up. She certainly can rock but jazz and fusion more.
Sweet! Appreciate the suggestion! Definitely more from her to come on the channel in the future! Insane! 🔥
Her led Boots cover (The Narada Michael Walden Foundation version). She has a lot of great moments from over the years.
Sweet, thanks for the heads up!
Great reaction sir! She's still crushing it, at an unbelievable level of course. Youngest ever added to DummerWorld Top 500 drummers of ALL TIME, at age 11. Has a resume more impressive than most 50 y.o. pros in the best bands in the world. I commissioned this documentary on her a couple years ago when she was age 12, will give you a summary of her life up to that point. From there on, she's soared to the moon! "One of the World's Greatest Drummers at 12 :: YOYOKA | Documentary of 2009-2022 [Japanese CC]" czcams.com/video/ONY0qUWR5pQ/video.html Here is an interview she did a couple days ago. If you don't want to watch the full video, watch her improvised solo (first 10 sec outtake) and at the end (Start at 16:11). "Meet the FIRST Pro Drummer To Play On A Cybertruck at C3 Jams - Yoyoka" czcams.com/video/m_eS6zdEeXg/video.html Thanks Again!
Wow! Appreciate all the info and I can’t wait to see where her career goes! Absolutely incredible!
Tiene 14 años con un talento inimaginable dado por dios, es considerada un prodigio desde los 4 años, para muchos músicos y cantantes reconocidos incluyendo al cantante de Led Zeppelin será en unos años la mejor de todos los tiempos de eso no cabe ninguna duda, México
Here's Ian Paice reacting to her cover of Deep Purple's "Burn" - czcams.com/video/0RyJKiollcA/video.html
sugoi desu!
Indeed.
Brilliant review. So we start up watching expecting some tinkety plonk 8 yr old and boom this mind warping gobsmacking exploding bundle of energy is powering through a rock classic like it was nothing. You can only imagine what her parents were dealing with, both of them professional musicians, and the beautiful thing is that with only modest means they have sacrificed a lot to support Yoyoka. I think They must have felt a sense of obligation to treasure such talent. They uprooted the family to move to the states, living in modest houses and suffering problems with basic utilities. Many child prodigies burn out but here this was never likely. Her legions of fans have been following her progress and they will atttest that Yoyoka, also known as the Hokkaido Hammer, or The Professor has never for one second disappointed. She holds the highest standards of professionalism and integrity which is a credit to her and her family. Look forward to more of your reviews, it is through reviews from drummers that we the fans have learned to better appreciate the craft. Oh and did anyone mention she was giving tutorials before she was hardly out of diapers?
She is incredible and it’s so amazing to watch! Thanks so much for the kind words and I cannot wait to check out more from her!
She makes drumming look so easy and effortless. I'm looking forward to seeing her newer videos. Thanks
Thank you for watching! She is definitely an incredible talent and I can’t wait to check out more from her!
I have to listen to that video couple times a year... it makes me smile so much every time.
Me too. He's right - this is why YT is so fantastic. When I first listened to Led Zep 1 like, 51, 52 years ago, it was like a mental dose of salts. And then all this time later, Yoyoka plops into my CZcams feed. Man, it was wonderful.
Gotta watch her play Stray Cat Strut. Timing is incredible.
Oh snap! I bet it’s awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for sharing! She has covered several Zepp songs and all of them are incredibly great (my favorite is "Dazed and Confused")! She also covered many more classic hard rock songs so please check them out!
Wish she could do concert with Zep
That would be wild!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Check out her Colorado bulldog cover
You ought to listen to her Purple's Burn version. ;)
DUDE #YOYOKA IS AN AMERICAN NOW, LIVES IN CALIFORNIA!!! WOOO !!!!
Watch her do Fool in The Rain
I bet that’s killer!
Her recent cover of Colorado Bull Dog by Mr. Big is just fantastic in my opinion. Put it on your list. :)
Liked your reaction. Welcome to the YOYOKA rabbit hole. It's a nice dive. Please keep on reacting to her. Not only is YOYOKA a phenomenal drummer, but she's a really nice person and a joy to watch in any situation.
Don’t easily believe what people said about health condition in particular. It is personal matter. There are always irresponsible people to spread lies. I suggest don’t be part of spreading unverified health matter. Be wise and be responsible
She is such a phenomenal drummer and can’t wait to hear more! Have a great one!
She's amazing.
While it's absolutely exhilarating to listen to her 'rock' covers,personally, I was totally blown away when I heard her cover of Sting's song 'Seven days'.
I'm not a drummer, but I know that's not an easy song to cover. Vinnie colaiuta did it for Sting. A different genre,but definitely worth checking out.
💯 Thanks so much! Definitely have to check that out!
At 8 years old my drum set would've been covered with boogers. Lol
Haha 🤣😂 No doubt!
Can You See Her WINGS
Yoyoka is a once in a lifetime prodigy. She is actually better than anyone else I have seen. And there are lots of skilled kids out there. She could play in a jazz band at 6. In a band! Not doing a cover. She totally understand music and has a totally uncanny memory. She can hear a song twice and then play it note for note. She is also totally nerdy on technique. She had a drum school that she started at 7 I think, where she did teach common techniques and also techniques she had invented. She is 14 now and has already done more than most drummers do in their lifetime. But, you have to remember that she is a kid. She is also probably slightly autistic. Some years ago I was kind of worried, because she was so good and wanted so much, but generally, she was not mature enough. She wanted to US, and I was worried. What will happen? But, her fantastic family moved to the US. And now it seems she is making great success. But still, she is now only 14 and, except for drumming, she is just a teenager. I wish her all well and hope life works out for her and she will be known as the best drummer ever. It is actually a possibility.
Just as a side note; her parents are good musicians and also her little brother. There are some very fun videos where the entire family is jamming.
One more comment. There are other small kids that can play significantly faster than Yoyoka. So, if you measure skills with speed, then Yoyoka is not extra ordinary. Where Yoyoka shines is groove and understanding of the music needs. She also have a very good memory and can play a song exactly as even a very good drummer, but then she add Yoyoka flairs. Often enhancing the original.
Oh cool! I have to check those videos out! She is definitely a prodigy and an absolutely phenomenal player! Cannot wait to hear more from her!
Kind words mate,but autistic? Not a fucking chance.
Shido is her younger brother. He covered Roundabout by Yes and 21st century schizoid man by King Crimson. Why? Because they were part of the soundtrack of a favorite anime? All the Soma family are multi instrumentalists and singers.
I'm no expert but I don't know if I agree that she's on the spectrum. I just watched her livestream from the other day (her English is really coming along) and I didn't pick that up at all.
This is six years old. Where have you been?
I guess under a rock 🤷🏻♂️ Glad I found her when I did though! She’s killer!
@@setonhillstudios
Better late than never.
Check this other 8 year along side her 10 year old sister they are Radio Nube...........NIRVANA Y AIXA tocan intro de toxicity de System of a Down

No, to start pausing within seconds isn't worth watching.
It’s a reaction video - go to the original if you want it uninterrupted !
@@Rob-Yuleagreed
We ain’t for everyone. Feel free to find someone you enjoy. CZcams is full of reactors with different styles and approaches ✌🏻
@powerdavid - If you get stunned within 10 seconds, stops and tells so and really means it, then it might be a top notch reaction. I am soo tired of all that has to comment on stopping. And so are many reactors. Som even tells you to go elsewhere if you do not like stopping. Yes, there are not so good reactors that just stops without thinking or having anything to say. But, this reactor do have something intelligent to say. Then let him stopp!
@@rolandkarlsson7072 Appreciate the kind words! 💪🏻
