    Wow! I love the way he's able to subdivide that slow 12/8 beat and make it sound like he completely changes time signatures and tempos all at once. But he maintains that same tempo and the same slow 12/8 beat and keeps coming back to it. Try tapping your foot along to the quarter note while he's playing those crazy subdivisions and polyrhythms and see if you're still in tempo when he comes back to the slow 12/8 groove. It requires quality listening skills as well as a strong internal clock.

  • @the1realanalogman
    @the1realanalogman 7 років тому +13

    What a wonderful musician. Jojo has technique sufficient to light the kit on fire at any time. Yet he creates a specific mode of tension by selectively deploying it and whipping it out once he's lulled us into a deep, melodically induced trance. Further, to hear him speak about his concepts regarding his musicality is like going on a transcendental journey to a mystical land! There's a lot of cats out there that I like to listen to. Jojo has been anointed in a very unique way.

    • @_rlb
      @_rlb 6 років тому +5

      He does use a china but not always. It's usually on his right but I've seen one on the left as well. He likes to change his setup from time to time. Two Ominis or one Omni and a Fierce Ride, etc. His stack evolves too, it's usually a (Fierce) hihat top on a china but in this case it's a prototype that I don't recognize.

    • @Bluums
      @Bluums 6 років тому +3

      He used to play an 18'' or 19'' AAX (or similar) china that was placed on his left side, next to the secondary snare, that was until 2011, then he switched it to right side, next to the 8'' tom. In 2015 he stopped using a china. And in 2107 he stopped using the left side Omni (at least with Nerve) :)

    It's crazy how when he messes up you barely notice. He clicked the stivks, missed a drum and dropped a stick and then he threw the other stick and said" to hell with it, I don't need it". and proceeds to produce beautiful music. That's a true professional man. That's what we should all inspire to be. Man I love the Drums.

    One of the coolest things about this piece that I think a lot of people haven’t noticed is in the beginning with the cross sticks. He’s coming down on that mini hat side swiping it right before he hits the rim on his snare. It’s like he’s doing a one handed flam cross stick! Little things like that are so creative and that’s what makes Jojo one of the greatest drummers of all time!

      Snares: Hazy 200 for reso, and batter side he seems to go between Coated GPlus (the single-ply 12-mil head) or Coated G14. With his (now discontinued) Sonor Earth Snare he also used a Marching Hybrid head. I've got that snare and that head, and it's a good combo. In fact all of these are great heads.

      His sticks are some of the best out there. Good balance of weight and length.

      Lil JOV: Agreed. I started using his sticks 4 years ago. I never knew a shorter stick could feel that good. I just had to bring everything on my kit in a little closer, that's all.

      Bryan Forth Same here! Once I switched to his sticks it changed everything for me! I love the weight too! 👌🏻

      Diane Cancino : the weight of these sticks is absolutely perfect. I've never felt a more perfectly balanced stick than this.

    Super musical solo, and yes, I'd kill for this setup.
    I prefer his playing here to most of his human-drum-machine stuff. Feels warmer...
