This was 2 years ago. By the time that she becomes a teenager, this young lady may be one of the best drummers on planet earth. Maybe she is already one of the best.
I just discovered this girl today and I’ve spent the whole ****ing day watching her videos. I’m completely spellbound. 65 yrs old and never seen anything like it
Same here, mswao! Man! This young lady makes music sound fresh and fun again! Here skills and talent are amazing! If I didn't know better I'd say she's Keith Moon reincarnated! Awesome! I've never spent a more enjoyable Sunday just watching so much UA-cam from or about one individual. Well, I did spend a whole day watching UA-cam from or about Taj Farrant, but that was a Saturday, not a Sunday. Rock on Yoyoka!
I just got on the boat about 2 days ago (and I live in Japan but no-one I talk to here knows her yet! I'm changing that!) and I've watched nearly all of them.
If you had someone listen just to the audio of this without knowing who was on drums and told them that it was a cover by a 32 year-old British professional studio drummer who has been playing for decades they would say sure, that makes sense. But if you then told them no, it's actually a little 9 year-old girl from Japan playing in her house they wouldn't believe you. Yoyoka really is _that_ good.
Have you seen the oddly satisfying and calming videos on YT where every visual aspect works out perfectly? Yoyoka is just like that to watch and listen to. Nothing looks or sounds off. Nothing.
@@jamescorbell3349 - You're comparing a 20-something year old to a 9 year old. Senri has been playing longer than Yoyoka has been alive. Look at her videos when she was 9. Yoyoka is better. Their style is very different also. I don't see Yoyoka playing ultra-fast like Senri does. I'm curious to see Yoyoka when she's 20, but at 9 she's already playing at pro level.
@@jamescorbell3349 I disagree. I think Yoyoka is better at age 9, however it's difficult to imagine ANYONE being better than Senri at her age. We'll have to wait and see.
@@jamescorbell3349 the thing about yoyoka is that you usually see her playing rock but you see the other drummers playing jazz, which seems a lot harder. However, there's at least one clip of yoyoka playing that jazzy style and believe me, she can do it like it's nothing.
...as a retired professional drummer I must say this young lady is the REAL DEAL!...so amazing to witness her passion, energy and natural skill....BRAVO Yoyoka!!
A great drummer not only has technical chops, but they have a feel. They become the groove. It comes from hours and years of practice. She has all that and more. I don't get it. My favorite drummer is a 9 yr old. Wow.
Me, too. Yoyoka's videos are just incredible! Her ability, charm, and likability are inspiring. Any time you're feeling a bit down, watch one of this amazing little girl's video performances and you will be smiling from ear to ear.
I commented on this video a while ago, but i just have to say again how she makes this already excellent song SO MUCH BETTER. Listening to the original version just isnt the same any more.... she does that with all her covers.. from adele to sass jordan...... and well, her zeppelin covers are just as good as the original tracks for sure.... her vids bring joy to people around the world. You can watch other drummers on here but Yoyoka has something all the others lack.
The girl is a reminder that sometimes nature throws out an exceptional specimen. She is unbelievable on drums and deserves all the praise she is now receiving.. Good luck to Yoyoka.
How is this even possible? Yoyoka is a precious gift to the world. She makes it possible to 'see' what music would look like if you could actually see it and all the effects and emotions it creates, instead of just hearing it. Truly amazing.
@@yvl2914, watch her cover of Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times" and you'll understand. Like Bonham, nobody told her that you shouldn't try to play bass drum triplets with one foot so she learned to do it anyway like Bonham before her.
Ok, so... this is about the 75th time I've watched this video and I will watch it another 75 I'm sure. This is one of your best covers. I really like the way you play this.
Viewers: Unless you were a better drummer at an earlier age, you have no right to hit 'Dislike'! Truly great drummers are not so insecure that they cannot appreciate pure talent in others when they see it. While it's humbling to see her do what she does, I rejoice in her accomplishments. I'm a decent drummer, but I can't do what she does. She is gifted and I wish the best for her! (So should you.)
I am 57 year old and I too love Peter Gabriel for 40 years and now I love "Yoyoka" too. You are the best drummer that I've seen in years, age doesn't matter. God Bless Yoyoka.
For a 9-year-old girl this is almost superhuman. I've never seen any drummer inhabit the groove the way she does. It seems that every time I see a Yoyoka performance it becomes my favourite.
Unreal is the word to describe Yoyoka's performances, the contrast between her absolute professionalism and her genuine youthful personality is what makes her unique and so lovable. She is a true artist, creative to a high degree, she creates her own sounds which makes what she covers different in some way, she has a perfect technics with her own flavour, this is what makes an artist in any field great, the style, their own style, distinct to any other artists, be in the visual art, the performing art, with writers, artist in the musical world. Yoyoka is fortunate to have already at such a young age a style of her own which can be perceived as soon that we hear her music. Great to see, salute from a French artist seven times your age and passionate with Led Zeppelin and the music of the 70's, hoping to live long enough to see you playing your own distinctive way in the years to come.
Getting my weekly dose of Steam. This video of her cover is worth watching every time. The groove is just right and she really pulls that out of this song, the sound is excellent. The same with her cover of Maroon 5 Harder To Breath, she transform the drumming.
I wouldn't go that far, considering some of the drummers she has covered. *However*, she is incredibly skilled, especially for her age, and *any* cover band would kill to have her behind the kit for a show. If she doesn't end up with a band, she will definitely have a lucrative career as a much sought-after session musician.
I agree for the most part. Especially Uptown Funk is way better than the original IMHO. Only her Rosanna and her Jamiroquai covers weren't that good. But hey: doesn't mean she's any less brilliant :-)
@@archer494 Funny, her Jamiroquai cover is one of my favorites along with her Stewart Copeland one. Not saying they're her best, just some of those I like very much.
@@archer494 Why do you say that it isn't that good? Is it because she doesn't copy the original? Is it because her timing is off? Is it because she puts her own ghost notes and fills in the song? Care to explain?
I think I've watched all of her covers now, and what impresses me most is her balance of adding just an extra measure of pizazz while staying true to the spirit of the song, and hardly EVER pushing and dragging the beat along the way. And of course, icing all of that with such an endearing joy. This girl is a force to be reckoned with.
There may be older pro drummers with skills as good but I challenge you to name another drummer as entertaining and fun as our young Yoyoka. I'll wait!

Incredible technique and unerring instincts. She plays with abandon but also a mind-blowing level of sophistication. Her musicality and interpretative ability already far exceed what most young (and even mature) drummers can hope to achieve. Well done, Yoyoka!
I can not believe what I am seeing! She is gifted. I love it when Gabriel sings the line, "Room shake, Earth quake" (1:23) and Yoyoka knocks the top view camera tripod with her elbow. That's no coincidence - watch her grin 👏 haha very good. 😺 Great choice of song too. 👍
I cannot....believe how hard this kid ROCKS!! LOL!!! She's AMAZING! Like, an INSPIRATION!! I'm sitting here smiling just watching... Even people who can hit the skins right? They don't ROCK. At ALL! LOL! This kid DOES! She reminds me of what rock n roll's about! Not worried about how she looks or being cool...just rocking and having a blast! And talented. Talent. This kid's IT!
Pat McCann it’s her personality that really shines through which sets her apart. So talented unpretentious and watchable. She’s a tonic that’s for sure.
If for some reason you do not like the skills of this young lady, please leave the comment explaining why !! Do not just press the thumb down , and then disappear like the spineless party- pooper ! We are all perplexed by your lack of bravery to stand up and be counted.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't watch her videos and I still can't get over how mature and professional her drumming sounds. If you couldn't see her, you would think you were hearing a veteran percussionist who had been a professional musician for decades. Gotta give her the credit she deserves for not relying purely on all the natural talent she was blessed with, but putting in the time and dedication it takes to reach the level of skill she has gotten to.
I listen with headphones sometimes without watching the video. What you said is so true. You would never believe who’s hitting them drums like they owe her something!
Talking about elevating the piece from the original. It’s nothing short of amazing that a 9 year old can conjure such groove, feel and composition. I think you’re our 21st century ‘Mozart’. Kudos.
Just wondering why no one is REACTING to this cover? Do the REACTORS find this cover too easy, or...? I'm not a drummer, but too me, this is enormous energy, happiness, a lot of drive and SKILL Though not having drummers skills, but having been in bands, I find this young girls skills exceptional for her age, or actually also disregarding her age, and I find myself listening to this particular "drive" almost every day. So, I guess, something must be right... ...or maybe I'm completely barking up the wrong... yeah, you know... drumskin...
Yeah all the things drummers I've played with have whined about she runs right thru. I don't get it . I'm 51 started drumming in 3rd grade, guitar as a teen, never came close to this at her age. I didn't even know who peter Gabriel was.
@Forrest Hunter sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't know who he was when I was 9 yrs old. Of course I know of him now. My musical reference was pretty childish at 9, especially compared to this young lady"s .
@Forrest Hunter yeah I think she's awesome. I suppose I'd heard pretty much the same this vs you had, but my attention span was equivalent to a saltine, the first love I formed on my own musically was probably the stones, then I acquired bad taste for a decade or so, coming back to Zeppelin, he Stones, Zz top etc...
@Forrest Hunter ha thinking about it, I remembered a long forgotten memory. When I was about 4, 5 yrs. Old, each night after a bath, I'd go into my room, get my " invisible" guitar , stand on the ottoman , buck-naked and sing " On the cover of the Rolling Stone" to whoever was there, to great applause. Lol wow, what a crazy memory.
Listen to the original and then listen to what Yoyoka does. She adds so much to the drum performance over the original; Gabriel should hire her and do a remake. :)
When Robert Plant saw her play a Led Zeppelin song he said "I know where she can get a job, but she will have to bring her teacher or parents". I would be in heaven just in her back up band
God dam your so right, i just listened to the orginal and then her version again and to be honest she makes the original sound dull. Yoyoka makes it rock and that drum kit STEAM😁
@@dutchdude1972 It's not about what I've done, it's about what he says and does that makes him a tool. Besides, I'm not the narcissist he is. Also there are much better, humble percussionist out there of which, I'd rather listen to.
@@OldGrumpyDude Nicko McBrain is one of the humblest drummers you could ever meet. He will talk to you like he's known you his whole life. I've had the pleasure to meet him 5 times and talk to him. He's really the greatest and funniest people you could ever meet.
I’m a lifelong Metallica fan!! I think even Lars would have to give this girl his seat!! Sorry Lars but it’s true!! This young lady here can play anything perfectly!!! And with this song she did it better!! Way better!!
If we didn't already have the word genius we would have to invent it to describe Yoyoka...and the most delightful genius to boot. Absolutely astounding is the only way to describe her.
I just went over and listened to the original. I think I prefer her drumming to the original recording. Yoyoka is just incredible at holding down a grove. It’s one thing that separates her from other young drummers. It’s not about the flash, it’s about making people want to move.
OMG! I simply can't believe this! What an amazing young lady! She gives a very busy version here, but she never falls off the beat! Watch her kick drum work!
What do you say when you've seen a masterpiece? Bravo? Bellissimo? Give me a few more years and perhaps the words will come. Fantastic? Spellbinding? Who knows. All I know is that if someone had told me that a day would come in my life where I would enjoy watching drum covers as much as I enjoy Yoyoka's I would have smiled and said bring it! And good Lord does she ever bring it. Bring more!!!
Yoyoka seems to meld into the kit. She also develops effortless power (or so it appears) from a relaxed grip and use of a slinging action in her drumming style. Just awesome 😎
You have made me fall in love with Led Zepplins music all over again. You actually make their songs BETTER with your drum covers. Why? Because you channel the passion of the original artists and put it on full display for all to enjoy. You are awesome never stop loving what you do!
Title should be “Yoyoka, with PG on vocals.” A master class in how to turn a catchy pop tune into a monster anthem. Unreal. What a gift to the world this talent is.
I'm just glad I'm aware of her now, so in a few years when someone comes to me and says "Hey I just found the best drummer ever" I'll be able to say nonchalantly "Who, Yoyoka? I been a fan of hers for years bro".
When I was her age I was listening to this, dreaming of being in the band and being a rock star someday far into my future, while she's well on her way and more! Get it Yoyoka! The World is yours!
If you want to know what playing in the pocket looks like she is your girl. Truly amazing I have never seen anyone quite like her. Bravo 👏 👏 keep up the brilliance. 😀
Great punch on bass, natural sound on snare drum, extremely confident on her right hand...close your eyes and it will seem you are listening to a professional drummer, not a 9 years old girl...!
なんともいいようもなく素敵で素晴らしい💃
こころが宙に浮いていき、フワフワと音の空間旅行をしている感覚に🎊
皆さんが感じているように、オリジナルより優れものです🗽
ドラムスのビートが軽快かつ重い。反比例するような現象が同時に鮮やかにあらわれるのは、よよかちゃんの音楽に豊かで芳醇な歌心があるからでしょう💐
リズムが旋律を奏で、双方が立ち上がって、仲良く華麗に踊っている💃この奇跡の調和力が必ずあるため、パンクだろうが、ハードロックやジャズ・ファンクでも、彼女が叩くとサウンドが喜んで弾け出す。決してガサガサした音楽にはならないのは、もしかしたら彼女独自の母性愛🧚にあるのかも。よよかちゃんが、音楽も好きだけど、一番好きなのは家族👪と即答してるのが、微笑ましく、天上の音楽家の秘訣かなと思います。

I've never spent a more enjoyable Sunday just watching so much UA-cam from or about one individual. Well, I did spend a whole day watching UA-cam from or about Taj Farrant, but that was a Saturday, not a Sunday. Rock on Yoyoka!
You and me both. I've been searching for reaction videos just to squeeze more content out of her.
I just got on the boat about 2 days ago (and I live in Japan but no-one I talk to here knows her yet! I'm changing that!) and I've watched nearly all of them.

There is a vid on YT where someone overlayed the original with her cover, really good stuff.

Wow me too! Lol coming from loving heavy metal and my favorite drummer is a 10 year old!
@@ParataxicD...Me too.
Jhon Bonham playing Peter Gabriel. It's amazing.
Uh....no LOL.
Right! What technique!
I can't NOT dance in my my seat when Yoyoka is in full swing. She's simply incredible.
She actually improves the original.
I commented on this video a while ago, but i just have to say again how she makes this already excellent song SO MUCH BETTER.

The girl is a reminder that sometimes nature throws out an exceptional specimen. She is unbelievable on drums and deserves all the praise she is now receiving.. Good luck to Yoyoka.
I find myself playing her cover of STEAM rather than the original when I'm driving... GOD!! Hers is just way WAAYYY BETTER!!🤯
She is simply astounding. It's still hard to believe a 9 year old can DO this.
How is this even possible?
Yoyoka is a precious gift to the world.

Seems pretty possible. This seems more impossible ua-cam.com/video/9GZZp0xtsg8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=CalebHDrummer
I cannot process those socks and those triplets being from the same feet. Unreal.
HOW ON EARTH does she do the triplets so effortlessly 🤯
adi rahm
Rapid fire synapses.. or pure genius. Your pick, and you won’t be wrong on any of those options.😉👍👊
she's just a child and doesn't know that triplets are hard.. I guess..

Jonathan Gwynne she explains how she does the triplets in one of her vids. I believe it “drum course 13”. This child is amazing
Ok, so... this is about the 75th time I've watched this video and I will watch it another 75 I'm sure. This is one of your best covers. I really like the way you play this.
ドラムの音を聞くのが好きなだけの素人、この少女が出す音に、何故か自然に全身が反応する…素晴らしいの一言☝️
What amazes me is that she is constantly looking at the audience and not even looking at her instruments.
Seems the saying "aww, he plays like a little girl." has taken a whole new meaning.
After all that Hardcore playing, she instantly returns to a cute little girl the second she's done, with her smile and stick wave.
I bet I'm not the only one who finds themselves waving back like mad...
Ken Otwell 😂 Good stuff!
@@KenOtwell ....no, you are NOT the only one !....a bit embarassing at first, but it becomes obligatory !.........you just must.

You are the best drummer that I've seen in years, age doesn't matter.
God Bless Yoyoka.
One of the mysteries of the universe how childhood prodigies can just begin CRUSHING it musically from the start. Mozart and Yoyoka come to mind.
Triplets on the bass. With both feet! The talent of John Bonham and Billy Cobham rolled into one beautiful little girl.
yeah... nicely executed there on 00:49 onwards
Peter Gabriel needs to see this... and he needs to thank Yoyoka for this. Wow.
The enjoyment on her face is priceless, keep up the fantastic drumming.
I agree. That's a big part of what makes her so special. She will be one of the best and already is in her age group.
Cal Native EXACTLY
This is possibly the best video in the history of UA-cam.

I sit here in amazement and as I have in the past, still I ask how does a 9 yr old nail this song so good? She is 9!!
Yoyoka's version is way too better than the original one. Amazing!!!
When she’s waves and smiles at the end . She’s like that was easy 😁👌🏼
Her little face is just perfection, I don’t get how there are sad people who thumbs down. Amazing drummer 👍👍👍👍👍

Gotta give her the credit she deserves for not relying purely on all the natural talent she was blessed with, but putting in the time and dedication it takes to reach the level of skill she has gotten to.
I listen with headphones sometimes without watching the video. What you said is so true. You would never believe who’s hitting them drums like they owe her something!
よよかちゃん毎日みてます🤗🇧🇷🥁😉
Vejo seus vídeos todos os dias 🤗🇯🇵🥁😉
For some crazy reason I keep coming back to this after 5 years. When I need a good feeling here it is.
I keep coming back every day!
Never ceases to put a smile on my face
Very talented. For me the best part is the epic joy that's evident when she plays. She loves it and that's magical.
Talking about elevating the piece from the original. It’s nothing short of amazing that a 9 year old can conjure such groove, feel and composition. I think you’re our 21st century ‘Mozart’. Kudos.
Yhaaaaaa for Yoyoka. Her bass pedal triplets are killer... then goes to double pedal... mind blown.
Just wondering why no one is REACTING to this cover?
Do the REACTORS find this cover too easy, or...?
I'm not a drummer, but too me, this is enormous energy, happiness, a lot of drive and SKILL
Though not having drummers skills, but having been in bands, I find this young girls skills
exceptional for her age, or actually also disregarding her age, and I find myself listening to
this particular "drive" almost every day.
So, I guess, something must be right...
...or maybe I'm completely barking up the wrong... yeah, you know... drumskin...
Okey, seemed to have missed this one...

...that apparently was posted a day or two before...?
It's quite remarkable just how much better this sounds compared to the original, which seems flat and lifeless in comparison. Great job Yoyoka!
Officially now my favorite version of this song!!!!! WOW!!!!!
Oh that beat taking me back to clubbing in the 80's. Rock little Angel.
I have been a musician on my life.. play the rock bands country bands for 45 years.
You're one of the greatest little drummers I've ever seen..😎🇺🇸😘
Yeah all the things drummers I've played with have whined about she runs right thru. I don't get it . I'm 51 started drumming in 3rd grade, guitar as a teen, never came close to this at her age. I didn't even know who peter Gabriel was.
@Forrest Hunter sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't know who he was when I was 9 yrs old. Of course I know of him now. My musical reference was pretty childish at 9, especially compared to this young lady"s .
@Forrest Hunter yeah I think she's awesome. I suppose I'd heard pretty much the same this vs you had, but my attention span was equivalent to a saltine, the first love I formed on my own musically was probably the stones, then I acquired bad taste for a decade or so, coming back to Zeppelin, he Stones, Zz top etc...
@Forrest Hunter ha thinking about it, I remembered a long forgotten memory. When I was about 4, 5 yrs. Old, each night after a bath, I'd go into my room, get my " invisible" guitar , stand on the ottoman , buck-naked and sing " On the cover of the Rolling Stone" to whoever was there, to great applause. Lol wow, what a crazy memory.
@Forrest Hunter yep.. the Tubes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy, they all came AFTER me..lol
Listen to the original and then listen to what Yoyoka does. She adds so much to the drum performance over the original; Gabriel should hire her and do a remake. :)
just did that, mind blowing what she brings to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also contrasted the two. Not even the same ball park... hell, it ain't even the same sport ( Pulp reference)
Gosh! Ur totally right! Even the remastered version of this grove pales in comparison to the cover by YoyoKa.. 😍
When Robert Plant saw her play a Led Zeppelin song he said "I know where she can get a job, but she will have to bring her teacher or parents". I would be in heaven just in her back up band
God dam your so right, i just listened to the orginal and then her version again and to be honest she makes the original sound dull. Yoyoka makes it rock and that drum kit STEAM😁
She should have 5 million views on this tune
This video might be my favorite yet I keep loving each video of Yoyoka's.
Don't you just super love this girl!!! She brings SO MUCH HAPPINESS!!! 🧕
purple dinosaur socks I love it!!!
Best drummer in the world. 世界で最高のドラマー
Lars Ulrich: I'm Metallica's drummer.
Yoyoka: Hold my juice box.
Lars... lol overrated pos! lol A total tool.
@@dutchdude1972 It's not about what I've done, it's about what he says and does that makes him a tool. Besides, I'm not the narcissist he is.
Also there are much better, humble percussionist out there of which, I'd rather listen to.
@@dutchdude1972 greatest metal band in the world is iron maiden hands down! Metallica only wishes they could be like iron maiden.
@@OldGrumpyDude Nicko McBrain is one of the humblest drummers you could ever meet. He will talk to you like he's known you his whole life. I've had the pleasure to meet him 5 times and talk to him. He's really the greatest and funniest people you could ever meet.
I’m a lifelong Metallica fan!! I think even Lars would have to give this girl his seat!! Sorry Lars but it’s true!! This young lady here can play anything perfectly!!! And with this song she did it better!! Way better!!
If we didn't already have the word genius we would have to invent it to describe Yoyoka...and the most delightful genius to boot. Absolutely astounding is the only way to describe her.
I just went over and listened to the original. I think I prefer her drumming to the original recording. Yoyoka is just incredible at holding down a grove. It’s one thing that separates her from other young drummers. It’s not about the flash, it’s about making people want to move.
OMG! I simply can't believe this! What an amazing young lady! She gives a very busy version here, but she never falls off the beat! Watch her kick drum work!
Not only are you a fantastic drummer, you also have great taste in music!
She also has great taste in socks
Yoyokaちゃん、Peter Gabrielも聴くの？とつい思ってしまいました。
彼女の動画を最近で20本くらい観ましたが、最初観たのがLed ZeppelinやDeep PurpleのCoverだったのでてっきりそっち系が好みかと思っていましたが・・・。他にもレッチリやポリスなども演ってますよね。
多分親御さんの趣味がいいんでしょうね。その中でも彼女自身が先入観なく好きなものをchoiceして体に沁み込ませている感じで、どの曲も楽しそうに、しかも曲調に合わせたテクニックで叩いているのがすごいです。
彼女は中学校進学を目前にして、世界に挑戦するために近い将来活動拠点をUSAに移すということですが、天から授かったsomethingによって彼女のbeatが世界中に響き渡り、その笑顔と共に多くの人達に愛されることを願ってやみません。
Fantastic Yoyoka！
This is my favorite cover she does. She is owning that drum set! Total command.
What do you say when you've seen a masterpiece? Bravo? Bellissimo? Give me a few more years and perhaps the words will come. Fantastic? Spellbinding? Who knows. All I know is that if someone had told me that a day would come in my life where I would enjoy watching drum covers as much as I enjoy Yoyoka's I would have smiled and said bring it! And good Lord does she ever bring it. Bring more!!!
Such raw, unadulterated passion for the music. You don’t learn that... it’s ingrained in your soul.
今回も
「よよか流アレンジ」と言う
中毒性の強い最高のプレーですね(笑)
I looked in the dictionary for the definition of "pure joy" - it just said ... "YOYOKA!"
Yoyoka seems to meld into the kit. She also develops effortless power (or so it appears) from a relaxed grip and use of a slinging action in her drumming style. Just awesome 😎
You have made me fall in love with Led Zepplins music all over again. You actually make their songs BETTER with your drum covers. Why? Because you channel the passion of the original artists and put it on full display for all to enjoy. You are awesome never stop loving what you do!
Conservatively speaking I have watched this over 50 times. It's my go to song when I need a jam. Watching you drum this makes me smile. Stay cool!
I cannot watch this kid without smiling from ear to ear
Title should be “Yoyoka, with PG on vocals.”
A master class in how to turn a catchy pop tune into a monster anthem. Unreal. What a gift to the world this talent is.
How have I missed this one, I love Peter Gabriel. This young Maestro does the Maestro Gabriel proud!!
She made the song more exhuberant, what a lil genius
I'm just glad I'm aware of her now, so in a few years when someone comes to me and says "Hey I just found the best drummer ever" I'll be able to say nonchalantly "Who, Yoyoka? I been a fan of hers for years bro".
When I was her age I was listening to this, dreaming of being in the band and being a rock star someday far into my future, while she's well on her way and more! Get it Yoyoka! The World is yours!
If you want to know what playing in the pocket looks like she is your girl. Truly amazing I have never seen anyone quite like her. Bravo 👏 👏 keep up the brilliance. 😀
Great punch on bass, natural sound on snare drum, extremely confident on her right hand...close your eyes and it will seem you are listening to a professional drummer, not a 9 years old girl...!
I do not have to close my eyes for that :-)
she moves like an athlete, a black belt drummer for sure
Not only do I wholeheartedly enjoy Yoyoka’s playing, I love how much SHE enjoys it. This girl grooves! 🥁💕
You're adorable Yoyoka and a very gifted, gifted young artist. God Bless you sweetheart.
She's playing this with the energy of the live version & crushing it.
いいドラマーだなぁ…
上の説明欄にオリジナル曲のリンクが張ってあるけど、比較すると面白いですね。
ライブ版オリジナルのマヌ・カチェとは全然違うアプローチで、もっとロック寄り。
海外の方のコメントに「ボンゾがピーガブ叩いてるよ、スゲー」（意訳）というのがありますが、まさにその通り。
kero2go なるほどー。違いが分かりました。これからドラムの聴き方が変わりそうです( ＾∀＾)
彼女は「実にロックだ」てな感じですよね。
ボンゾ、アピス、ムーンさんが出てくる。。
