🥁Drummer Yoyoka’s BIOGRAPHY🥁
Born in October 2009, YOYOKA started playing drums at the age of two, played live at four, and formed her family band "Kaneaiyoyoka" at five. When she was six years old, she released her first CD while in kindergarten.
In addition to drums, YOYOKA sings, plays the piano, and is a songwriter. In 2018, at the age of eight, she became the youngest weekly champion in the under-18 category of the international female drummer contest "Hit Like A Girl". Her application video, a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times" was featured on NBC, NPR, in Rolling Stone Magazine and in Billboard and then spread all over the world. Her drumming prowess has been praised by music legends such as Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Ian Paice( Deep Purple), Roger Taylor(Queen), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Sheryl Crow, Gene Simmons and Eric Singer (KISS), Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Hayley Williams (Paramore), Sass Jordan, Tony Royster Jr., Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine), Derrick McKenzie (Jamiroquai) and many more.
In 2018, at the age of eight, YOYOKA appeared in Japan's famous rock festival "RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL in EZO" as the youngest performer ever. The following year, she made a surprise appearance Fall Out Boy’s stage at Summer Sonic Tokyo 2019 in front of an 20,000 audience. Later that year, she was invited to Cyndi Lauper’s show at Tokyo Orchard Hall as the guest drummer for two songs on the last day of her Japan tour.
YOYOKA is endorsed by world-class brands such as Nike, Moncler, and UNIQLO. In 2018, she shot a Nike campaign in Thailand, followed by a Moncler campaign shoot in New York in 2019. She became the face of Moncler alongside actor Will Smith. Both campaigns were launched worldwide and were very well-received.
Already at the age of eight, YOYOKA became the youngest drummer ever to sign an endorsement contracts with drum makers Pearl and VIC FIRTH. Since then, she has also signed with Zildjian, CYMPAD and DW.
YOYOKA’s attention from the world does not stop. In January and May 2018, YOYOKA was invited to LA twice to make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one of the most popular show in the United States, where she was praised by Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters who made a shoutout to her on the show. She also impressed the audience with a successful show at the legendary live house "Whisky A Go Go".
In April 2019, YOYOKA was selected as Newsweek's "100 Japanese People Respected by the World" and "World's TOP500 drummers” by Drummer World, both the youngest in history.
In 2020, Pearl showcased her talent at the 2020 NAMM show in Anaheim, the world’s largest musical instruments trade show. She was the youngest female and only Japanese drummer ever to appear.
The impact of YOYOKA continues to spread worldwide. Her favorite drummers are John Henry Bonham, Chris Coleman, Nate Smith, Chad Smith and Dave Grohl. Her dream is to travel and play sessions with people all over the world.
You dudes age 50+ know you're tearing up watching this, this is an incredible joy on so many levels.
I didn't tear up, but I got goosebumps, and really excited. Everytime I watch her play a song, I've GOT to get behind mine and try it with her. I always find a few things she's doing I like better than what Ive been doing. I haven't been so excited about playing in a looong time as I am when watching her. I guess i can get a little teary, thinking about it. What a great kid !!
Yer damn straight. Always amazed and so happy to this level of talent in such a great kid.
I've been watching her since she was 8 years old and yeah I've teared up on more than one occasion. She just defines what pure joy is and how it can affect a person
Indeed!
@@tyecook9630 What a sublimity feeling ! I respect you.
Any drummer who dares to play Achilles Last Stand deserves respect. For an 11 yr old who nailed this song ... She deserves more than that. I just can't find the correct words to describe her.
Legendary. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
The term ‘prodigy’ comes to mind, but even that isn’t sufficient.
I wouldn't say she nailed it, but good effort
@@robgodden6736 She adds her own ghost notes and fills to the songs she covers. Not sure what you meant by her not nailing it? Did she MESS up? Was her timing off? She doesn't have an extensive set as the Zeppelin drummer so it might sound different, but to say that is just a good effort is puzzling to me.
@@1flash3571 her kit is the same size as Bonzo's. He never had a huge kit.
I was ten years old when I started playing drums. I'd sit in my room playing beats for hours, just me and my drum set. In 7th grade I did a talent show and I was shocked at the reaction. I was instantly popular and had guys lining up to try to start a band with me. I was 15 when this album came out and I was blown away. I'd sit in my room and work on this song and it was never perfect. Yoyokas performance here was closer to perfect than I'll ever get. So amazing. It took me back to those days in my teenage years when drumming was my life and the excitement of playing in front of people was brand new.
Thank you Yoyoka, you are truly amazing. Tears in my eyes.
this song is hard no matter how old you are :D
She brought back memories of grinding away , the music.
還暦のROCK親父ですが、「Achilles Last Stand 」は、
人生で、最も多く聞いた曲です。（おそらく今後も）
他アーチストの新譜が期待にそぐわなかった時など、無性に聞きたくなります。
ですが、こうしてYOYOKAさんがプレイして、ドラムが強調された状態で聞くと、
いかにボンぞが、リズムをキープしているだけではなく、
ドラムで「リフ」も作っているのだといいう事が、改めて分かりました。
いや～素晴らしい！ またオリジナルも爆音で聞き直します♪
I would be happy to buy tickets to a show with only Yoyoka doing nothing but covers.
Drums only! 😀
Yoyoka proves that humans are still amazing creatures despite our many flaws.
She is bringing joy to so many people, it's wonderful! :)
I agree 100%. Well said.
It's beautiful
Apart for her unfailing ability to astound me with her playing regardless of whether they are my favourites or they are hardly known to me, i love reading the comments because they make me feel i am no different from the thousands others, and i dont have to feel ridiculous or embarrassed about my feelings and emotions about her playing. Thank you Yoyoka but also thank you to you all from a 64-year old kid.
Let me understand this. At 64 years old you need the validation of thousands of others so that you don't feel "ridiculous or embarrassed" for liking Yoyoka's drumming? A drummer that's been recognized as one of the 500 best drummers who have have ever lived and you need the comment section to not feel silly for recognizing that very same fact?
Okey doke. (smh)
@@jackspratt7264 You don't understand "this" at all, Debbie Downer...
@@don7294 Anybody too ashamed to like something ON THEIR OWN, without feeling embarrassed or ridiculous, is probably a ridiculous person to begin with.
Michael Jackson was 9 years old when he and his brothers shot to superstardom. They were a household name and some of the most talented musicians Motown had ever produced.
Being embarrassed to like Yoyoka without other people feeling the same way, is like being embarrassed to like the Jackson 5 and THAT is plain crazy.
@@jackspratt7264 I doubt that's what he's talking about. I'm 52 years old. I started playing guitar when I was 15. Several years ago, my brother (who plays bass guitar) shared a Babymetal video with me. I love their stuff. As a result, I got Li-Sa-X, Yoyoka, and Kanade Sato in my recommendations. I love them all too. Every one of them is a gifted and truly talented musician. But whenever I try to share them with others I frequently get the insinuation that I'm some kind of a perv who has a thing for little girls. They don't walk away from the video thinking I'm a 52 year old man impressed by the musicianship of a child prodigy. Many times they don't get how rare and impressive this sort of thing is and just walk away thinking I'm creepy. They may even comment on how good the musician is but still think I'm creepy for liking it. So I understand the original commentor's apprehension.
@@MegaHogzilla First of all the original commenter didn't mention creepiness or perversion. That's YOU projecting whatever is going on in your circles onto him. He distinctly used the words "ridiculous and embarrassed" which do not remotely have the same connotations as the words you brought into the mix.
And honestly if the peer group you try to share Yoyoka's talent with jumps to those conclusions about you for sharing her music with them, then you need to find a new set of friends, sincerely... unless they know something about you that would make their minds head in that direction.
Unless you're sharing her videos with strangers you meet on the street, you're sharing them with friends and colleagues and if that's how your friends think of you for sharing a damned drum video, then you have WAY BIGGER issues than a kid's drum videos to address in your camp.
I'm 46 and the people I share her videos with, men, women and kids, simply respect her talent and then share the videos with their friends. No one's mind heads anywhere near the depravity you were talking about.
Sorry, man, but that's just weird.
Yoyoka got in the zone after guitar solo.
Her breathing was normal after playing for 10 minutes.
What an endurance!
Yep, nose breathing only, all the way through. Athletes and musicians alike - take note!
Thats a complete masterclass in drumming Yoyoka! Seriously, a 10 1/2 minute masterpiece off the Presence album that you honor JHB with this smoking tribute ! An 11 yr old tackling this track just blows my mind! 👌👌👌
Yoyoka...omg...u covered my #1 favorite Zeppelin track of all time....and u did an amazing job. God bless you! You are incredibly brave to tackle this somg but u have the undeniable talent to do it proper justice. This was total bad@$$ness!!!!!!! Cant wait to see what the next song will be. Much love from the US of A!!!!! 🇺🇲
Imagine what she'll do at 12.
Totally agreed! John would be proud of Yoyoka...
She's way better than Jason.
@@richardharrold9736 Kind of sorry to say but yeah, a different level for sure.
Although John Bonham is not actually with us, thanks for keeping him here.
I used to think Bonham was the best that ever lived, with peart right behind him. But I foresee this little girl taking the kingdom from both of them. Her talent brings tears of joys to my eyes.
Neither of them are even close to the best drummers ever...They're great and were instrumental in my development as a drummer in the 70's and 80's but; technically; they're middle of the pack...Any of Zappa's drummers are technically better... As well in Rock, Ian Paice, Carl Palmer, Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham, et al... Buddy Rich, and almost the entire jazz drummer collective...Technically...Bonzo is a powerful and melodic drummer with amazing chops; and Neil, God rest both their souls, is the same way with a bit less power...But; his writing is what makes him the greatest lyric writing drummer ever.. Yoyoko is playing well above her age...If she sticks with it; she could be a great drummer; I hope she spends the time to learn her instrument...When she's playing Caravan, or One Word from Mahavishnu Orchestra, I'll be impressed...
I've seen exactly one drummer better than Neil Peart (too young to have seen Bonham): Ginger Baker!
@Guitar TV :)...A voice of reason among a sea of emotion...:)...Kudos!
@Guitar TV I don't understand why I'm getting corrective feedback about being happy that a child is talented at her craft. Bonham is my favorite of all time and btw, he once copied his idols too, right? I.e. gene krupa, etc.
She makes alot of mistakes on this song
Those 2 seconds from 2:48 should scare you, all of you. Watch that about 50 times in a row and you'll start to notice how she's perfectly ahead of her hands with her head movements, torso, shoulders and her wrists. There is no besting her, physically, because she's perfect. She can't yet hit as hard as Bonham did but she'll reach that in time. If you're out there thinking you're up to something untouchable, all she has to do is decide it's interesting enough to her to spend the time on and she will have it. As Yoyoka grows she's not just developing - she's stalking all of you who have any chance of ever being on the cover of any drum related anything. She's a sober Buddy Rich who can take on anyone on the planet by the age of 12, not 36. She will be the greatest drummer of all time.
she is a powerhouse indeed with incredible speed and timing. that roll was insanely good :)
Im not a drummer but being a guitar player who jams with a good drummer I'm trying to understand the drums, the approach ,the inside stuff. I didn't know what a ghost note or the pocket was so I'd ask my friend. I'd also scroll down all her video comments and I knew she was special.
I've been depressed lately, went to my doctor and he prescribed 1 yoyoka video a day to help. Thanks doc, it worked but now I turned into addict!😁
Yoyoka absolutely helped me out of a depressive state, so much so I took up the drums a few months ago at 61
@@Rob-Yule She always lifts my spirits! 😁
Same here at 63 I bought a practice pad and practice my rudiments. Why? Yoyoka!
@@chrisegbertky I found a Pearl Export kit near mint on FB marketplace for cheap. Drum lessons every two weeks
@@Rob-Yule gotta have a Pearl kit naturally!
Somewhere John Bonham has got to be smiling that his legacy lives on in such talented and capable hands... This is a wonderful tribute to him!👍
Yes!!! 👍
Well said and so very true.
Agreed 👍
Well, Jason Bonham is pretty worthy of John's legacy, too! But Yo is amazing! I love watching her nail all of these songs I have loved since I was her age. Go Yo!
HOLY HELL....COMPLETELY INCREDIBLE
Please get Jimmy Page, Plant, JPJ and Yoyoka on the stage.
Plant won't do it, and rightly so. His voice is not what it once was... and there's something rather tragic about aged rockers getting back together just to play decades-old songs for the money.
@@richardharrold9736 Has never stopped Paul Stanley from cashing in.
@@leokimvideo That's why Zeppelin are legends and Kiss are hacks.
@@richardharrold9736 They should just do it and not for the money but for the legions of fans who supported them for decades. The awesomeness would be legendary.
@@jonathansmith3742 no, they absolutely should not do it. It would be a tragic, awful pastiche of what Led Zeppelin was. We have the concert films including the 2007 reunion. 15 years on and Plant's voice hasn't regained its ability to get high up, neither has he shown any willingness to reconsider his opposition. As much as I would have loved to see LZ live, I just have to accept I was born too late and that, short of time travel being invented, I never will see them. I'd rather go without than go to see some octogenarian tribute act to what those three men and the fourth's father used to be half a century ago.
今までYOYOKAさんのドラム演奏に感動し驚愕し色々言い尽くしてきたつもりですが今回のカバー曲10分41秒間息を止めて聴いていたような気がします。私も長く邦楽を演奏して来ましたが10分以上の曲を演奏する大変さを知っているつもりです。演奏技術は勿論のこと気力、体力、集中力、全てにおいて新たな境地に入られたようですね。
I don't know what the fuck that means, but I'm sure it's complimentary
I have been watching this girl now since she was 9 or so. I feel like a proud father.
She is amazing and when I was learning RATM's Bulls on Parade, she was my inspiration - so fun to watch 🫶
Well said. I stumbled upon her during the covid lock down. Guitar ,amp, UA-cam and Yoyoka.
She even started that roll at 1:16 with her left hand, like Bonham would've done! And, I'm LOVING that snare!
Nice observation!
Quite the marathon session on one of the most complicated drumming ever put forth by Led Zeppelin. Our prodigy applied improvisation and insight all while keeping true to the original song. Masterful to say the least :)
MASTERFUL!
She is so comfortable while playing in the pocket that she has some "wiggle-room to add a little custom flavor! She is incredible! 🌟⚡🔥
@@tomy.1846 Well put. It's been a while since I gave this song a listen but I thought I heard a few liberty's being taken. I thought what she brought to it fit like a glove.
Totally agree.
See my comment above.
Robert Plant said after watching her a few years ago, "She knows we
where she can get a job".
I think she`s ready
Arms flying, feet stomping, head bopping, but her core stays still and relaxed. She makes it look so easy it's mind blowing.
She's a DYNAMO that keeps on ticking! 😍😍
Make it look easy because it is ,.............for her anyways I probably fall off the dam seat so and that's before I hit the drums
Well said!
Age aside, this girl is just a great drummer with a great feel and groove that plays with a tremendous amount of energy. She is a joy to watch and I wait to see what she brings us next!
Its a boy.
Yoyoka is most definitely a female. Look her up. 😉
@@bakedgoods222 its pretty obvious she's gonna be a he in a few years
@@matthijs2024 No question about it. These people are so naive.
Shit, I know a band that can use her even now....
I believe they are a British band....
Led Zeppelin I think is the band's name!
This song has such a strange atmosphere. Goodness knows how she remembered all of those fills!
I used to worry about her endurance, being such a hard-hitter. But here Yoyoka is, pacing herself and turning in another stellar performance.
I saw her play last weekend. Great show with a lovely tribute to Jeff Beck as a closer. She's been working hard on her English and had quite a lot to say to the audience. She made it very clear she was tired at the end 😉
Astounding. There are professional drummers who’ve played for decades who are nowhere near her brilliance.
Ive covered this song myself after listening to it for 20 years. Its pretty much impossible. Unbelievable job on it!!!
That was her only on camera attempt. No edits.
@@indexer69 This was her 4th attempt in a row. I don't know if they taped the previous 3 before they decided to tape the performance.
@@1flash3571 Yoyoka wrote "This was shot with one take and no edit."
@@indexer69 I NEVER said she edited it. She either "practiced" it 3 times and filmed it on her 4th try or she filmed it 4 times and got the best put on YT. Not sure if you can comprehend or not?....
@@indexer69 Flash is mostly correct. This is her 4th take in a row. They recorded every one of them, because she just kept playing it back to back to get a clean take. This play through, #4, was the best one, so this is the one that got posted.
One take means that this upload is not a stitched together edit from the other recordings. It's one straight play through.
Now, if you can't process that very simple math, I can't help you homie.
Yoyoka is medicine for the soul!
She certainly has been a balm to my soul and mind during this time of plauge and loss.
なんちゅうか、言葉にならんくらいに嬉しさと感動で一杯🥲
よよかちゃんはまだ身体的に成長期なので、年々パワフルになっていくんだよね
生で観たい聴きたいなぁ
これ、Zeppの中で一番大好きな曲なんです😊
ドラムは言うに及ばず、ベースがめちゃくちゃ格好いいと思った初めての曲なのねぇ
だから思い入れはピカイチなんです
よよかちゃん、ありがとう😭
追記
何度聞いても痺れるし、涙が出る
身体が出来上がる年齢になったらどうなるんでしょうね。
楽しみ。
英語のコメントが圧倒的に多いことが、ワールドレベルでの高評価を物語っていますね。
特に、中間部の長いギターソロと終盤のスキャットを支える重厚感溢れるビートに
圧倒されました。天国のボンゾも喝采を送ってくれているでしょう。
I think Yoyoka just graduated with a Doctorate in Drumming.... or at least she just turned in her Doctorate Thesis with this cover. She's now Dr. Yoyoka.
Completely!! 👍🤩
You nailed it!
In fact, Yoyoka is a visiting professor at the iU-College in Japan. There is the video about it in the community tab 3 months before.
@@popozz I think she might have gotten a honorary degree, or able to teach a class on drumming. I may be talking out of my ass, but I think I saw it on YT someone wrote something about it.
Watching this for the 2nd time, just noticed something... look at the lower left window... look at Yoyoka's calf muscles! Holy crap! No wonder she hits that kick like Bonham! My god, she's got the lower leg development of Simone Biles! She could probably dunk a basketball if she used that muscle to jump! Never noticed that before but now it all makes sense. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOYOKA! Your fans worldwide are following your progression and cheering you on!
Clearly nothing Yoyoka can't handle. Her ear for music (sans sheet music), technique, feel and precision astounds me. I expect 'Yoyoka' to be a household name ten years from now.
最初に聞いた時にスネアの音に違和感がありましたが、聞き込んでるうちに意図が分かりました。
こっちが成長してなかっただけなんですね。
よよかちゃんのボンゾに対する解釈が解りました。
成長の行く末を見守ります。 ありがとう！
What else to say? It's the closest you can come in this day and age to bringing John Bonham into your living room. Brilliant performance, Yoyoka!
I'm blown away! She's the best! ⚡⚡🔥🔥😎
I just spent the last two days here at Louder Than Life in Louisville Kentucky. I've watched some of the world's best drummers. Yoyoka is one of them.
Don't let that charming smile at that lovely face as she swings her drumsticks fool you.
Don't be impressed while her hands do a perfect job.
This young lady's secret is in her footwork. It's a comet about to hit you.
Yoyoka doesn't walk; she flies and enchants us all.
Smiles and tears come to me every time I watch her play. Thank you, Yoyoka.
Man you aint lyin... She can hit trips better than any drummer around me. I keep expecting to hear John's pedal squeak...
There was a time when I'd watch her vids and think "wait til she grows enough to really get her feet on the pedals".
Then she grew that much and exceeded all expectation.
Already at this age Yoyoka is one of the top drummers on this planet. Imagine her in her twenties. Bands would line up to get her...
Up there with Achilles Priester. Yoyoka is one of the best in the world

Easily the most difficult Zeppelin song to play on drums. Im am just glad young people are still listening to Zeppelin, especially the "non-commercial" songs they released. Well done. Out on the Tiles is one of my favorite Bonham/Jones grooves too.
I think in a way its better that they dont get much radio play these days... young people can go to it totally open, with no influence from hacks that don't understand what they're listening to.
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 also, they havent had to listen to stairway ad nauseum, like we did back in the day- taken fresh they can see how big zep was.
@@donsurlylyte no doubt man, no doubt. They sure knew how to take a good song and make you despise hearing it for a decade or two. To this day, whenever I start picking the first bit of Stairway, I keep waiting for someone to take away my guitar and smash it over my head.
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 Zeppelin gets as much airplay now as they ever did, both terrestrial and satellite…
Close your eyes and you'd swear this was Bonzo playing! All I can say is WOW!
Ten minutes and forty one seconds of joy. Thank you Yoyoka,
ついにここまで来たんですねぇ。すべてのハードロックいや、ロックミュージックの頂点に君臨し続ける名曲中の名曲。大地から湧き上がるような凄絶なボンゾのフィルインに何度ボリュームMAXのテクニクスのコンポの前で気が遠くなる貫道を味わったか。すごいなぁなんで聴かせどころをわかって叩けるのかもう、おじさん口あんぐりです。
日本人はこの曲大好きです。初めてよよかちゃんのgood time bad time知ってから、いつかはやると待っていた。
Bonhams level. It’s scary and beautiful!
Thank god another exists!
Let’s face it we were all waiting for the 7:22 mark and she hit it with absolute perfection 😱😂 👏
YOYOKA THE GOAT
Damn near, yes!
Certainly not out of the realm of possibility. You may be predicting the future.
There’s technical players.. and then there’s Soulful players. Yoyoka you are the Queen of soulful perfection ✔️🎯💞
Yoyoka, I never thought I would hear such a cover of Achilles last stand by Led Zep, thank you, thank you, thank you, you're the best, I'm really speechless.
Yoyoka, the only child kid prodigy I'll ever need.
A bomam very
John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Neil Peart, Keith Monn e tanto outros sorriem lá do Valhalla dos bateristas ao ver esta jovem tocar uma música tão intensa desta forma. Parabéns, Yoyoka!!!
Thank you to her parents for supporting her! She has the "it factor" of a true genius.
I just turned 60 years old and I was about Yoyoka's age now when this song hit the airwaves ! FM radio was in its infancy and only a few and far between rock stations could be found but when you did you got to experience songs and albums in their entirety and I remember this one on WABX Detroit as if it were only yesterday! And Yoyoka, as I have stated here quite a few times, you NEVER cease to amaze me!!!! You have now reached a level that has no words to describe it!
It goes without saying that all kinds of drugs were pretty damn prevalent back in the 70's but now that I older and hopefully just a bit wiser, whenever I need a quick "pick me up" my "drug of choice" is the latest Yoyoka video! You keep rockin' little one.....We love ya here in Balmy Las Vegas, Nevada!
Yes, but if you just turned 60, then you were 15 or 16 when this album came out. She’s only 11.
Actually, The year was 1976 and it was Zeppelins 7th album and I had just turned fifteen years old. And yes, you are exactly right knowing Yoyoka is 11 and about to turn 12 next week.....HENCE the word "about" in my statement. Now go take a chill pill Einstein and get some sleep....
I'm 60 as well. And a huge Zeppelin fan all my life. The Presence album came out in 1976 when we were both in highschool. I still remember unwrapping it and placing it on the turntable. We were 15.
@@raymondsearch5289 Right On! My fellow brother! And we both did something right....We ar both still alive and breathing! Take care....
She’s simply amazing! I’m still shocked how she did “Good times bad Times”, and We’re an American Band” by Grand Funk Railroad!
So impressive! Fitting tribute to Bonham, who passed away 41 years ago from today.
Plain and simple. This girl is truly a prodigy. Incredible drumming and very entertaining to watch
Wherever he is, the spirit of Bonzo is smiling.
There are so many young girl drummers around the world. Yoyoka will always be at the top of the list.
I hope Yoyoka parents keep a fire extinguisher on hand because that kit nearly went up in 🔥🔥🔥
Spectacular. You make a ten and a half minute song feel like three minutes.
I always wondered when she'd get to this song. She crushed it. Somewhere ...John Bonham has a mile wide smile across his face. Great job Yoyoka.
My admiration for Yoyoka was already over the roof, but after seeing this video, it grew even more ❣️❣️❣️
How can you remember all that Yoyo?! That was just amazing. Your fans are going to love this. Lovely to see you back doing covers. Pat 🏴
I don’t think it’s one of the harder songs for her to cover by Led Zeppelin. But it looks like a fun one. I like how long it is. All the more time to enjoy drums.
I was thinking the same, there is an awful lot to remember and Yoyoka nails it every time..
@@sms95501 It was her first take on camera. No edits.
From first to last beat no let-up chronicling Achilles' mighty stride to legend...
上からモノを言って失礼ですが、小さいころに気になっていたクセが払拭された、安定した演奏に驚きを隠せません。血の滲むような基礎練習の積み重ねあってのことだと思います。見えないところでの努力が伝わってきます。音色も素晴らしい。受け取る力が育つのは謙虚さの表れ。私も40年叩いてますが、頭が下がります。今後のご活躍をお祈りしております。
I get worn out just listening to this song much less playing the drums. She's not even breaking a sweat. Unreal!
Honestly: How many drummers in the world can play this masterpiece in this quality and in one take? My bet is less than 100!
More like a few thousand...It's really not that hard...I can play it easily...Bonzos hardest song Is In My Time of Dying and Candy Store Rock..She was also "rushing" and "Dragging" all over the piece...As is understandable for a young girl...She did an amazing job...
And the most amazing thing to think about is that she will improve as she plays more and get older and more coordinated. Hard to imagine. Seems like there isn't much room for improvement. She's quite accomplished as is.
Less than 5 is my guess.
@@godbluffvdgg What? Failing to mention Fool in the Rain tells me you're not telling us everything (that's being nice).
@@godbluffvdgg My claim to fame in drumming is I played in a marching drum corp in Jr High school, so I'm not exactly an authority on drumming. That said, I watched this three times and didn't notice any "rushing" or "dragging". I'm just wondering whether she hurt your ego so you have to make something up to feel better.
Perfect doubles, and ghost notes. Some, with enough practice could get it, but she goes beyond that. Technical, and emotional, is hard to pull off. What a treat.
It think it is her dynamic hits she does. She controls her sticks very well to the point of conveying emotions when she hits those skins. She is very rhythmic.
Hi
Pau from The Warning is the best drummer in the world ..she would this while singing the part also at the same time
The rest of Led Zeppelin should play with this girl, she's a genius!
I just love Yoyoka. It brings tears of joy to my eyes to watch her. This is an EPIC song and she just nailed it.
Absolutely incredible unbelievable but yet believable speechless don't know what to say just shut up and listen

Bobbing the head in time, grooving the shoulders, loose wrist, keeping the elbows tight . . . What a phenomenon!
To the people who gave this a thumbs down. Please stay away. She is amazing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Immaculate Yoyoka chan…Bonzo will be proud.
It makes you wonder what kind of band she will eventually end up with. Hopefully it will be one with some other musical prodigies with exceptional songwriting skills. It's time for a resurgence of unique and powerful rock and roll bands!
力んでないのに、スネアの音がスコーンと抜ける感じでめちゃくちゃ心地よいですな！
コメントの殆どが英語なのが、彼女の注目度の高さを物語っている。
Yoyoka è una giovanissima e bravissima batterista giapponese. Ha cominciato a suonare a 4 anni ed è il Bach della batteria, già fenomeno da piccolissima! Ha come il sottoscritto un amore per i Led Zeppelin e riesce ad entrare proprio nello spirito della loro musica oltre che nella tecnica. In molti pubblicano cover dei Led Zeppelin su UA-cam, alcuni hanno creato gruppi copia come i Led Zepagain o le Zepparella, ma nessuno sbalordisce come questa bambina prodigio. Mi viene il sincero sospetto che sia proprio la reincarnazione di John Bonham morto nel 1980. Qui esegue un brano del 1976 "Achilles Last Stand" tecnicamente difficile, con una energia e un groove incredibili 👏
これを待っていたのは私だけではないでしょう。
最初から最後まで張りつめた疾走感。息を詰めて最後まで正座して聴きました。
ありがとう😆💕✨
I couldn't agree more, I too have been hoping and waiting for this one.
僕も待ってました。
Yoyoka is simply on another groove level 🤘🎶
sounds like rain drops falling on my garden 🖖
John Bonham is widely considered to be the greatest rock drummer ever. And this is thought by many to be his greatest drum performance. This young girl nails it perfectly. 'Nuff said!
ついに、手を出しましたね‼️しかし女性で大人女子も含め、アキレスのフル演奏カバー拝見したのはヨヨカさんが初めてです😲大人男子でもなかなか………😱😱😱
Yes. This is the kind of Zeppelin song I live for. Presence is an underappreciated masterpiece of an album and Yoyoka just kills it here. Fantastic.
Great! She should play full Led Zeppelin gig with Jimmy Sakurai :)
..still..incredible, after nearly a year of being in constant awe of what she produces week after week. (Only discovered Yoyoka last October, alas!)
No one I have ever seen play *is* the music like Yoyoka.
Love your work little sister!!! ❤ 🎼🎵🎵🥁🎶🎶🥁🥁🎵🥁🎵🎶♥️
Wow that was superb. Very different feel: dark, moody and technical. I love how fully "in" the music you are with this song, and your limb independence is amazing! I really enjoyed this performance.
I second that "limb independence". I think it's one of the things that makes her so fascinating to watch.
Her right hand is getting at least 4 sounds out of 3 cymbals. And that's just one fraction of this performance.
Impressive to say least. The discipline and determination required to learn the skills needed to play this song well is deserving of recognition and reward.
Wow!!! This must be one of the most complex drumbeats in existence. This video started playing when i was in the kitchen, and i was convinced i heard John Bonham! BTW, this song is the favorite of Jimmy Page.
Best way to start the weekend:
A cuppa Joe and Yoyoka powering through another Zep tune!!!
☕😀🥁🎶💯🤘😎
The best!!!
So true!
It's amazing that you can do most of, if not all, of your videos in one shot or one take (and no editing). Especially because most of the songs you do are so complex, that many drummers struggle most of their careers to even be able to play them. It really speaks to the level of professional that you truly are! You have bright things in your future! Someday there will be a drum beat, drum fill or something named after you. Kind of like the "Purdie Shuffle", it will be the "Yoyoka Fill", "Yoyoka Beat" or a song will be referred to as having a "Yoyoka Feel" of the "Yoyoka Effect"! And not to forget, you already have the "Yoyoka Stick Wave"! Drummers of the future will strive to achieve fills, beats, fills, or effects, etc. that you make famous!
Honestly, in a blind test, I think I could pick her out of a crowd of drummers now, J've watched and listened for so long. Ive gotten used to her stick swing, draw back, her snare, and that FOOT.
This is why I only had a one word comment. Thank you for your spot on praise and insight!
Wow. Alright. It seems you're almost over the rainbow now, Glenn, if not all the way over. You sound like a true blue sycophant. lol But I digress. YES, Yoyoka potentially has bright things in her future, if she decides drumming is what she wants to do as a career. She has bright things in her present, now that drumming is what she is actively engaged in. Yoyoka is one of my favorite modern drummers and I like her for what she's displayed and what she's good at so far throughout her career; capacity, consistency and reliability. She's as solid a COVER ARTIST as I've ever seen. For now, a cover artist is all that she is.
While all of those things are really nice that you said about her, you, like most of her uber-fans, are incapable of gauging her ability objectively. And objectively speaking, as solid as she is, innovative she is not. At least not yet.
Yoyoka is a self-taught, mimic drummer. With the exception of the few songs that she's written with Kaneaiyoyoka, she isn't an inventor. What she is, is EXTREMELY good at playing other people's music and tailoring it to fit her personal style of drumming. But I've said it before and I'll say it again, until Yoyoka can WRITE the kind of music that she covers on her own you're not going to see a Yoyoka beat or a Yoyoka fill. That's speaking objectively, as a fan that has seen dozens of hours of her performing over the last 7 years.
Yoyoka's improvisational videos are the biggest example of her shortcomings as there is on video. She has a tendency to throw beats from songs that she's covered into a mix with a few random drum patterns, stir and repeat. That's basically every improv video she's ever done. Same with her solo's live. They end up being an amalgamation of drum licks from famous songs that she's covered instead of being organically her. Look at any drum solo she's done and you'll see that it's going to be a mix of Zeppelin, Ozzy, Mr. Big, Toto, Deep Purple and a few random fills and generic beats. Still nothing unique.
And there are a few reasons for that. But most prominent is the way that she learned how to play drums. She can't and more importantly doesn't want to read music or learn theory. That's a huge part of it, because without a big dose of formal knowledge (of which she has some) she's limited to what she knows or what she's already done. Now, in a vacuum she "could" take that limited knowledge and develop a true signature style, but she's already considered more capable than she is and as such is in a faster track than she should be.
A good learning tool for her, at her level, would be to start covering really famous songs and writing her own entirely unique beats for them. She needs to start writing against what's been written and think of ways to craft percussion accompaniment that does just a good a job as complimenting the original. That's HARD AS HELL to do, but I think she's capable at this time. That way she could truly experiment and discover her own voice through the instrument.
Let's face it, all of the major praise Yoyoka's received over the years from industry heavyweight musicians and her fans has been related to how much like Cozy Powell, Ian Paice, John Bonham, Pat Torey, Stewart Copeland, Peter Criss or John Blackwell she sounds like. Yoyoka, depending on what song she's covering, is anyone of those people reborn or whatever. that's good for what it is, but it limits her to those songs only. And that doesn't speak to her own ability beyond that. It would be far better for her and her longevity if she was being compared to those same drummers while playing music that was ENTIRELY HER OWN as opposed to theirs.
Yoyoka is like a singer who can sing like Whitney Houston, but only when they're singing Whitney Houston songs. She's young enough to start breaking away from that, but I haven't a seen much evidence or drive enough in her to indicate that that's where she's headed.
Yoyoka is going to be 12 years old in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. When she was 10 years old Drummer World magazine inducted her into the top 500 of all time list. Huge praise if not somewhat premature, because as a soon to be 12 year old she's a super solid drummer but ONLY within the confines of her limited capabilities. But is she even 1/20th as good as the 12 year olds that Drummer World praised (and rightfully so) 25 years ago? Like THIS 12 year old: ua-cam.com/video/R8UG22AiHyA/v-deo.html
Not even remotely close.
Compare ANY drum solo that Yoyoka has done in the recent past to Tony Royster Jr.'s solo on that Drummer World video from 1997 and Yoyoka will seem like she just started playing drums this year. Tony's solo showcases the kind of skill in drumming where people will eventually name fills and beats after you. And given that they are each the same age relative to their respective time periods, Yoyoka has a long way to go before she has that level of skill to display.
Jack makes a valid point, there is a door she has not passed through yet. Composing in the moment, jamming. But there is no reason she can not discover a switch in her head that gets turned on. Either way I support her path, as a music lover. Watching her find new inspirations is a beautiful thing. Also the Soma family does such a fine job with the quality of recording her drumming it sets them apart. Her covers are absolutely amazing. In time her path may enter a new phase of creativity. Oh and she is also outstanding as a band member, both in driving a song as the drummer while not taking over and showing off. So she is not a composer, let’s see if SHIDO fills that role!
@@sms95501 That's just it, Jim. There is no "switch" like that I've ever seen. As a musician myself for nearly 30 years who has played with both garage bands and signed bands, that magic change over isn't a thing that happens.
I've seen tons of musicians "get better" over that period of time without them getting "good", if that makes sense. I've seen tons stand still and have brilliant careers and i've seen others with the potential and ability, but not the drive or proper motivation to become great. And I've seen great ones too, but never someone who has reached a kind of ceiling with their limited ability break through and become Stevie Ray Vaughn. lol
And it all has to do with a person's ability to build and evolve on top of the foundation and fundamentals they began with.
Fortunately for Yoyoka she has a rock solid foundation as a drummer and an adept understanding of the fundamentals. Furthermore she is well aware of and has often discussed the "potential" for what percussion overall and the drums in particular, can do in music.
A healthy exposure to concepts and playing styles, that don't come pre-packaged in the form of a finished song, may be all the motivation she needs to start moving in a more experimentally creative direction.
That little boy, Tony Royster Jr. from the link I posted is in his 30's now and is one of the premier drummers in the world seeing as how he drums live for both Beyonce AND Jay-Z at present. He also finds time to do instructional, drum solo and other tutorial videos for Zildjian and Drumeo amongst others all posted on UA-cam.
All Yoyoka has to do is start watching that guy's videos or videos like them, on beat, technique and rhythm variations and she will up the amount of tools in her tool box by 10 fold.
She's a smart and talented kid. Once she learns dynamic range, polyrhythms, advanced syncopation and the ability to craft well structured beats all by herself (because she has a little help sometimes with the Kaneaiyoyoka stuff) she'll truly have developed a signature sound solid enough to be considered her own voice.
And yes, she and her family are pretty awesome. The whole world is open in front them. I've been following for 7 years, I'll stay on for the full ride to see where they go.
Incredible, just when I think she can’t get any better she nails this. I’d love to hear her take on four sticks
Yoyo's a girl? Hmm. Who knew?
@@zombywoof1015 Yes. Pay attention.
@@zombywoof1015 LOL. Yeah. She is a FEMALE with short hair.
As a drummer, it's great to see Yoyoka go from the "cute little girl drummer" (with incredible talent) to an accomplished and really tight musician. I haven't watched her in a while. I am just happy for her. She's a great rock drummer and that is huge.
A fitting tribute to a great drummer, by a great drummer. Thankyou Yoyoka.
The pocket consistency is freaking amazing! Her musical maturity, feel, skill and talent is unbelievable! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
この曲は人間がやるものじゃないと思ってましたが........人間にもできるのですね
What an incredible performance, Yoyoka. You've captured the style, punch, and weight of John Bonham's original drumming and made it your own. Truly impressive! Well done.
Like a perfectly thrown pebble at the water surface. Smooth! 🙏🏻😇
It's still skipping along! :)
ついに Achilles Last Stand まで来てしまいましたね。😏
ボンゾ制覇も見えてきました。どこまで行ってしまうんだ、YOYOKA ‼︎
John Bonham couldn't have played this any better. Just WOW!
1977 US Tour Bonham did things live with this song that I still don’t believe are possible.
I love watching her.
@@gregbyrne743 agreed. the studio version is hard enough. bonham took it to a new level in 77.
@@furlong337 I remember listening to the Badgeholders bootleg.
What Bonham did was amazing he just drove the whole band.
@@gregbyrne743 I think they played 7 nights at the forum and “badge holders” was only one of the 3 soundboard recordings made for friends of the band. “Listen to this Eddie” was another. I forget the name of the third one but I believe it was the final night of the tour and it was the most impressive of the 3. IMO
@@furlong337 six nights at the forum and six at MSG.
Magic shows.
Bonzo would be beaming with joy hearing this.
