Can we show some love to John Davis? A fuckin wizard on bass, and Jacob, so talented and creative to be playing with people of Jojo and John's caliber even at a younger age. What a band!
This is what 3 people serving a song sounds like. Music is created. Speechless. Let this video be the last word to anyone saying that humans cannot do what electronic drums can do. Having a living, breathing soul in your music gives it something that programmed drums never will. Emotion. Unpredictability. The sound that Jojo is able to capture makes electronic drums sound WEAK. This is inspiring as hell.
They arent just playing. They are showing extreme restraint. And not letting compulsion or ego come in the way of the moment. I'd define it as well rehearsed restraint. Not rehearsed performance. Restraint. Know how, and when, not to. I'm in total awe.
I saw them live about 2 years ago, just before Covid, and let me tell you, they were fkin phenomenal. They do so much improv stuff live, expanding their existing songs with little embellishments or full blown new sections. It was great, hoping to catch them live again soon. Musicians rarely come to India though which is a bummer
I know that Jojo gave a big shoutout to him during the show, but I just wanted to point out how amazing their sound engineer is. He is doing all kinds of crazy effects on the fly, and they are seamless. He is a master of his craft and I bet it would be hard to replace him if he fell ill or something and couldn't make a gig. I'm not sure how many people could pull something like this off without hours and hours of rehearsal time.
Nice descriptions, I've only been "playing" for 1 week myself, just practicing basic rudiments, but I saw a JoJo Mayer vid on Vic Firth channel a couple days ago and he blew my mind! This is exactly the type of drumming I'd like to do (though at a much more basic level obviously), as I like d'n'b. I can't wait to dive in to watching more of his stuff and that documentary that just came out too!

Thanks for this list. As you may know, Improv 1 is based on (or similar to) their 124bpm improv session at the Bunker Studio (available on Vimeo). And the last part of Jojo's solo is basically what he played on the Set the Tone video for the Evans Drumheads channel (ua-cam.com/video/0AnKkIr3e9o/v-deo.html).
I am a Lucky guy - I joined Jojo at 1st. primary school as my neighbour druming on the school tabel and very tender on my head - he played already amazing!
When a talented drummer does drum n bass it really does go next level, the way a real drummer puts their beats down is totally different to the way someone else would programme the drums, this is a lot more talented than some people think. Awesome.
A truly talented drummer is the key to any band. When I play with a group I always tell them things dont start until I walk in...because a drummer who knows their shit changes the atmosphere and the methodology behind music.
I realise I’m kinda late to the party but OHHHH WOW….!! Tell me, how many other 1hr 50min + videos have you watched from start to finish without pausing or leaving the room..? Jojo, you’re a beast. Thank you. ( really appreciated the no ads, thank you )
Saw them yesterday @Gretchen, Berlin. Goosebumps moments guaranteed. It's hard to capture the energy of a show, but I have to say this recording does it justice :)
Triples are hard to learn at first but they're so cool. The motion is going down with the balls of your foot, then slide your foot forward hitting the footboard with your heel, then with your heel on the foot board, motion your foot like how you would tap it with your heel down. You may need a pedal with a longer footboard. I reccomend jojo's pedal
I love everything about this. The musical sensitivity, the groove, the obvious admiration these guys have for each other. I don’t think they’ll ever be another drummer like Jojo. I remember meeting him, and although he was quite serious, he answered questions with such elegance, never just allowing himself to be defined as “just” a drummer, but an artist. Thank you for this upload, it reminds me why we all do this crazy thing called music.
@@chambehl I am dating myself but will never forget witnessing my first concert Van Halen 1984 tour. The crowd was INSANE and louder than the band. I have seen many concerts though the years that have lead to this kind of lame crowd. So strange and can't figure out why? The only thing I see is society is under a spell of sensory overloadED....D for disfunction. NERVE has music that should make you move like you are on cloud 11 and this live performance is so fucking good and play it every time I need a pick me up.
Wow, I enjoy this group. For me it's a revelation. I dig that, I dig it all. Why? Because I like the concept to be in trance by music played life by real people instead by a machine. Nerve is tearing the tissue of the matrix appart. Well done.
Ok so I've known about this guy for a while, I've seen a few clips of him playing. Today I listened to a Playlist of his stuff..... OMG this dude is badass! I realy dig his style, so much going on in his playing, I like how clean, colorful, and energetic he is, jazzy but modern. I love his dynamics and his grooves, he's fast as shit too. He's like Vinnie Colaiuta 2.0
I fucking love these guys! Not from this world.. totally fucking amazing show! I saw them in sweden back in 2016, it was a life changing moment since I was able to talk to Jojo after the show and show him some cardtricks... I'll NEVER forget that! I'm so grateful to be able to witness their music!!
I just got turned on to the band a couple of days ago and JoJo has to be one of the best and smoothest drummer that I must say I have ever heard. He is a very skilled and very talented drummer I am quite impressed
Such an amazing performance. I’ve watched this 3 or 4 times already. Jojo’s playing is such 🔥🔥. It I could be 1/10th as good as him I would die happy as a drummer.
Bravissimi Si vede che ci sono anni di preparazione e di studio di rudimenti. Un grande progetti da grandi musicisti. Non ci si poteva aspettare altro.
I met him once, a very nice and cool man with amazing skills. but when it comes to John Davies he is my favorite bass player of nowadays. perfect connection of synth and bass guitar;)
They sound better than ever; NEW, eloquent, rich, measured, and fucking bombastic every time Jojo explodes. Great lighting, cinematography and editing, and of course live sound engineering. HELL YEAH, I watched the whole thing, couldn't cut loose. - anybody know what key songs #3, 6 and the encore were in?
Got here on Adam Neely's recommendation and hot dang this is great! It's like I'm listening to an early LTJ Bukem set! I listened to a bit of Jojo Mayer Nerve's latest album and I honestly couldn't tell the drums were from a living breathing human! This guy is *siiiiiick* 😃
mebbe l8, tho still: holy wtw happens @53:55?...seems to catch stick @53:56, and folds back into groove @53:57...quite adroit, as if that needed recertification. thanks to A38 for hosting, all involved in soundstaging.
Can we show some love to John Davis? A fuckin wizard on bass, and Jacob, so talented and creative to be playing with people of Jojo and John's caliber even at a younger age. What a band!
Yes! This is a great band with THREE incredible musicians with INCREDIBLE rhythm!
that synth bass is nasty

And you´re talking only about drums, but it´s the same with the bass and keyboard, they are beasts!
humans? thats jojo. And he is the only one that can really play jungle massive

Very well put. I imagine it must be very tempting to get carried away while performing live, but not these guys.
Jojo is one of the most inspiring musicians on the planet. Hope to see Nerve live as soon as possible.
Me Too!!!!

They should release this concert as an live album..
This is the most musical drumming I've ever encountered. God tier.
The sheer scope of textures and the wall of sound, provided by these 3 humans in real time is just mind blowing.

@@o0junglist0o93Fair. I don't think anyone meant to leave the soundman out, but thank you for getting us back on track.
Always thought music like this would be better with real drums. Turns out, I was 100% correct this is beautiful.

👍💕
night be wrong but i think theres a squarepusher line in there somewhere in the bass at around 26:15
You're the savior 🙏
You could be half as good as JoJo and still be one of the worlds best.

I was not ready to hear this after watching "jungle drumming" video! Phenomenal music!
master piece
This performance is true art.
John Davis is a dream of a bassist......any drummer wants one for Christmas :)
Agreed! Total beast. Lurks in the best way.
This imo is the best Nerve performance yet!
Jojo... Unique Incredible Fantastic Immense DRUMMER ❤
Jojo and NERVE at their best, sit back-relax and Enjoy the Flight!
How can you listen to this whole set and then decide to give a thumbs down? :D
I keep coming back to this video. The talent in this video from every one of them just amazes me every time.
Nerve concerts are where musicians go when their soul wants to dance !
I realise I’m kinda late to the party but
OHHHH WOW….!!
Tell me, how many other 1hr 50min + videos have you watched from start to finish without pausing or leaving the room..?
Jojo, you’re a beast. Thank you.
( really appreciated the no ads, thank you )
Jacob is really coming into his own. That keyboard solo was beautiful
takuya nakamura was better imo
his sounds were much more fresh and new
What time on the video was it?
where is the solo?
@@lou6977 in Budapest ;)
That bassist is a killer machine, damn!
I like this story ❤
I really like this keyboardist's minimalist approach. Pretty cool!
Saw them yesterday @Gretchen, Berlin. Goosebumps moments guaranteed. It's hard to capture the energy of a show, but I have to say this recording does it justice :)

So he's not "just" a drummer but an artist? As opposed to most drummers who are just hitting things with sticks?
If you honestly think drumming is just “hitting things with sticks”, then you have a lot to learn.
I would start a dancing frenzy with this music!! I feel like I am witnessing drones watching this video. "Slack" is AMAZING!!!!!!
I know right! this crowd is so sleepy
It's a crime really.

@@kevinmurphy8193 100%!
The best drummer of all time. No dubt on it. Tecnique, phrasing, precision, resistence, innovation and so on.
No pressure being Jojo's bass player ...all three of these guys are machines!
Makes me move everytime!
Musically this stuff is absolutely heaven for the mind. If this doesn't pop your brain with a can opener nothing will. Great video thank you!
HARD HAT ERA WAS AN ABSOLUTE JAM!!!!
SUPER GREAT. I don't think any band will be able to cover this!
Jojo is one of the greatest living musicians, and for lucky me; he's a Drummer
Wow, I enjoy this group. For me it's a revelation. I dig that, I dig it all. Why? Because I like the concept to be in trance by music played life by real people instead by a machine. Nerve is tearing the tissue of the matrix appart. Well done.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Jojo is killin' it. Talk about driving that bus. Holy shit!
19:04 that chemistry between Jojo and the bass player is just intoxicating
If you've listened to this 100 times like I have, try playing it at 1.25 playback speed for a change.
dude it was so fun lol it just sounds like some other song of nerve because jojo can actually play that fast too !! lol
the coolest kick drum sound ever on this planet !
He's got a trigger on it and changes the tone throughout. Awesomeness ....
The buzzes beginning at 21:08 and into the next song are so lush, and make that song sound even more futuristic
1:26:50 and on as well
This is insane!!! Each of them! I am speechless, especially at the transitions.
Always coming back to this madness once in a while.
That performance of slack is insane. The whole show is.
Jojo Mayer best of the Bests 👌
Ok so I've known about this guy for a while, I've seen a few clips of him playing. Today I listened to a Playlist of his stuff..... OMG this dude is badass! I realy dig his style, so much going on in his playing, I like how clean, colorful, and energetic he is, jazzy but modern. I love his dynamics and his grooves, he's fast as shit too.

Lovely!!!
What a wonderful world we live on...the planet I mean. This is amazing. Jojo..you crazy.
Watching this video again and again
The most exciting drummer in the past 50 years JoJo. Tony Williams, and before that Buddy Rich.
I fucking love these guys!
Not from this world.. totally fucking amazing show!
I saw them in sweden back in 2016, it was a life changing moment since I was able to talk to Jojo after the show and show him some cardtricks... I'll NEVER forget that!
I'm so grateful to be able to witness their music!!
Great JoJo
PERFECT
every single note is accounted for
I can't count how many times I've tripped to this
rarely ever in history have 3 fellas created such a massive wall of sound so breathtaking as here
RUSH
the introduction it's... whoa! love that vibes!
I just got turned on to the band a couple of days ago and JoJo has to be one of the best and smoothest drummer that I must say I have ever heard. He is a very skilled and very talented drummer I am quite impressed
Fuck me. This is the kind of electric music band I want to see live. They are all just killing it! Jojo is king.
Whatta' performance!!!! this man, can´t even be AI matched and defeated....one of the best drummers of all the time no doubt...
Just insane

What a trip! Wow, I hope one day I'll see them live
12:38 Jojo is entering into the drumtrance! Beautiful!!
i love how they are creating live electro sound. pure brilliant
Crazy thing is that by "electro standards" these tracks are really good. Jojo Mayer does the impossible : better than a machine ; )
I met him once, a very nice and cool man with amazing skills. but when it comes to John Davies he is my favorite bass player of nowadays. perfect connection of synth and bass guitar;)
his feel and articulation is insane, my favorite too
Completely new for me. I've heard about them but never thought it could be this awesome .
Absolutely phenomenal!!!
Awesome!!!
super modern drummer
This man is really helping me while i study physics....will get good marks cuz of this....
I know what you mean! 😏
Superbe ,j adore le style ...la batterie et le mélange de sons electro et en appuie une basse magique...❤
Best of the best drumming!! thank you Jojo Mayer
wicked and heavy- seriously insanely good drumming and musicianship going on - mind blowing
All they need now is some decent music.
it is the best of all things
Best NERVE video!
chills
Many thanks to Jojo et al. Epic sound, playing and processing... can't stop listening
Saw him in Atlanta last year and got to meet him before the show... super nice guy and wow did he rock the old socks off!!!
awesome
damn those synths are pure magic...
I'm just gobsmacked, this is incredible.
these songs are becoming iconic to me
Ich bin total begeistert, vorallem weil ich Jojo letzten Samstag live erlebte. Er ist ein wirkliches Ausnahmetalent!
yeaaaa cant wait to see you in miami beach this saturdayaaaaayy!!
I was in the front
They sound better than ever; NEW, eloquent, rich, measured, and fucking bombastic every time Jojo explodes. Great lighting, cinematography and editing, and of course live sound engineering. HELL YEAH, I watched the whole thing, couldn't cut loose. - anybody know what key songs #3, 6 and the encore were in?
These guys kick major a$$, everywhere, in every way.
So cool!!!
About to go lay down some drums in the studio and this is my listening up until I sit down.
Don't do it so soon after listening to Jojo playing because everything you play will sound like shit. I know cos I've done it.
Big Up! News from Nerve..They remind me more and more to the early Tangerine Dream and that is a Compliment..Thk yu for posting
