“Hi there! Jojo Mayer here. We’re here in Poland with my band Nerve on a European tour and I’m here to give you a quick rundown of the equipment that I use on this tour. Maybe we’ll start with the far left and go to the right.
Over here, I have my electronic rig. It is really basic. This is the Allen & Heath mixer, with which we communicate with the house. We don’t use any wedge monitors on stage, everything comes through this box into my in-ears. This is an Allen & Heath ME-1. We also travel with our own desk, which makes soundcheck simpler. I use these in-ear stage drivers from a German company. I just got them new and I’m really excited about them because they’re actually not custom mold but they feel like it. It’s a new proprietary system and they sound awesome. They make all the way from two to eight drivers and everybody in the band is using those. It’s great because you can replace them if something breaks and they really feel like molded earpieces. They’re called InEar.
I use a Roland TM-2, from where I trigger some of my electronic sounds. I also trigger the bass drum. They’re really simple sounds - not too crazy, kinda generic. I effect a return from the house with an Eventide H9. It’s an effect processor. I drive the program by Bluetooth. I use it a lot. I use a lot of effects: delays, distortion, compression, and they come from here. Down here is a clone - a DIY Swedish copy of a machine made by Pearl in the 1980s called Syncussion. It’s basically an electronic drum set. I launch sampled sounds with it. It’s a Pretty cool machine, I love it. I’ve been looking for those. The originals are very hard to get and costs thousands of dollars.
To the drums. Here, I have a 14” x 5.5” snare. The kit is a Sonor ProLite with maple shells. This snare is 14” x 5.5” and I use it with a Hoop Crasher that Sabian makes, which goes on top of a snare. I can also play the snare without it, I can get a lot of different sounds out of this drum. I use one of these snare sheets that really change the sound completely.
The heads on this tour are regular Evans G1 360°. They’re pretty versatile and work with pretty much everything.
This snare is a 14” x 5”. I tune it really high. Here, a 14” x 14” floor tom. The same thing. It’s a little unconventional, but I use one of these snare sheets on it too. Regular sound here… With this sheet on, I have a more electronic sound. This is a 10” x 8” tom, which I tune really high to get more contrast. It’s a kinda like an interesting thing. Sometimes, I turn this snare off to get some more melodic, soft…
The cymbals. I use a 14” Sabian Fierce hat. It’s something I designed, a prototype with a pronounced bell. This is a really dry hi hat, which allows me to get a lot of different sounds, from machine-like to a more open one. This is very dry and doesn’t go out of control, even if I open it wide. With normal hi hats you will get too much. It’s a nice thing and sounds good for drum-machine-like stuff. This is it’s little brother or sister - a 10” Sabian Fierce hat. What’s cool about it is it’s very loud. Usually, small hi hats don’t have much of an amplitude. I don’t have to hit this one hard. It always speaks out. This a thing I’ve been using for years. It’s a 14” Hand Hammered China with a perforated 13” Fierce hi-hat top. This is a Sabian HHX Omni cymbal, which is something that I designed. It’s a crash/ride in a way. You can get a lot of different sounds. Because I only have two cymbals now, I need more voices from one cymbal. This is a Sabian Fierce Crash, also with my signature. It’s a 19-inch, so it’s in contrast to the Omni. It’s got a deep, oriental sound. That’s that. The cymbals are all Sabians, obviously.
My drum sticks are Vic firth Jojo Mayer signature.
My bass drum pedal, which is made by Sonor. It’s called Perfect Balance and there’s two versions. This is the old version, a signature version. You can push this button here and the mechanism will collapse for transportation, which I like. There’s also the standard version, which is a little bit cheaper but is not collapsable. Actually, it’s hitting the market this week, I think. This is new. What’s nice about this is mounting it takes you three seconds and I can play.
The bass drum is 20” by 16”. This is a kit that Sonor gave me for this European tour. I prefer 14” bass drums and that’s what I play at home in New York. They’re easier to play and easier to manage with mics. But this one is a great sounding bass drum. I really like it. Big sound.”
One of the best drummer, educator and entertainer out there. He and Thomas Lang probably do the best drum tours of anybody as well.
One of the greatest and probably the most original drummer of today
I'm thankful to have guys like Jojo and Benny Greb around.
He really knows the ins and outs of drums and how to play them too. Get the wrong cymbals and you can't really do much with them. He even went as far as putting leather on the bottoms of his drumming shoes. lol
JD Beck dude
Djesi Markooo
@@ivoncraig yet, he's trying to get 3 different sounds out of each drum.... we learn the basics ( groove ) of drumming, then add colors to make the art even more interesting.
5:57 the sound of my dreams!
The Bob Ross of drums.
Any discussion about the top 10 drummers that does not have Jo Jo in it, is not even a discussion. he CLEARLY is knowledgable about everything pertaining to the drumzz,and his technique and feel is on the highest level possible. A real pleasure to see him perform. I would love to see him,Weckl and Chambers jam in a video together, or him,Vinny and Thomas Lang perform together.
This man is a wizard. Innovative, tasteful, and VERY controlled.
Way To Go, Jojo!
This is the most complete tour of z JoJo's stuff, fine work
So great to see something recent from Jojo
He still has some of the best hand technique I've ever seen. He's just incredible. All round.
His foot technique is also amazing. He's one hell of a drummer!
I would give Buddy Rich a slight edge over Jojo when it comes to hand technique and would give Jojo an edge over BR's foot technique.
@@adityatyagi4009 Personally, I think that Jojo can do anything Buddy could do, but can also do it using any grip.
@@theHumanBryno Yeah, that seems like a fair assessment of Jojo's skills. Plus, I think he's more versatile than Buddy. I love them both.
@@adityatyagi4009 They're definitely both on another level.
That might be the best sounding acoustic kick drum I’ve ever heard
Jojo, oh my! Still one of the most informative & *_transformative_* instructional drum dvd's I have is Jojo's. It showed me how different you can be & still *_drive_* a band. Also one of the best hand technique vids ever. Thank You, Jojo!!!
Danke Jojo für die Einblicke !
i love how he talks about price and practicality and describes his drum sounds as generic, no pretension at all
If you have Rockstar Budget!!!! Where's that phrase from?
you are one of a kind JoJo. top 10 of all time in my book
Love this stuff, well done.
Thank you for coming to Chicago Mr. Mayer. It was such a joy to see you and your band Nerve. Safe travels.
Sheesh this guy is very knowledgeable and precise... great one
GReat original drummer. A true beat MASTER.
Super cool from one of the most interesting drummers of our times!
This is a great video....still has his hand's and feet at the highest level's on the earth. Awesome!!!!
Jojo, although great, always seem to be needing 10.000 hours of sleep! ha!
JulianFernandez It’s hard to sleep when you’re up all night drinking Coke.
Sorry, did I say drinking?
@@CipherSerpico lol! it seems to be like that...
he looks rough as fuck.
Dude might just be jet lagged cause he gotta travel to play and play to pay the bills
I think that was after his and the bands laptops and other stuff were stolen in Slovakia on their way to Prague in Czechia. No wonder he looks tired. It must have been a nightmare getting everything sorted again.
Whats is really amazing is his groove!
Nice Drum setup, Jojo Mayer style not a typical drum, set love it..🥁
Good to see your set up of 2018.
He was so good in Whitesnake!
PA R
i liked him better with ozzy though
Rock N Roll is dead
Just a wonderful Guy . Love all the Feels he hits . Hopefully he will hit near Detroit some day .
7:44 literally the best thing I’ve ever heard on a drum set lmao
He truly is incredible
Wait until you see his band live...
still love his drumming!!
Nice set up and breakdown of it!
Great interview! Was a pleasure to watch =)
Amazing drummer!
even the shoes! ha - awesome vid - thanks for posting! really love his hi-hats
Love Nerve's latest release of 'Acoustic Music '. I play Drums to that C.D. quite a bit -there is so much there to listen and learn. . .Plans on releasing another Acoustic C.D.? Have you guys ever played in the Desert? Arizona is beautiful right now through June. You should play for a few days here. Scottsdale has a lot of Night Clubs and Night Peoples with lots of
$$ to spend. Phoenix is more artsy with different types of Lounges and Bars . Most importantly, I would love to see, hear, especially experience all of you perform music live! To see
Jojo be the monster Drummer/Inventor that he is playing his Drums and just hearing it all live 💥🎹🌵🔥👀🐾🌟🎨💡✔
Thanks for sharing. Awesome!
the OMNI HHX Ride/ crash he uses is probably the loudest cymbal i've ever played.
real versatile and dynamic :D
Wow i think he started this thing with a strong cold up his nose and ended realizing how great it is that everything worked out! Hes one of the best!
Jojo mayer the best ❤
He is SICK! in both ways it sounds like
My hero!
Do your thing, brother!!
Thanks Jojo!!! 👍
learn a lot .Thanks Jojo
Nice to hear his secondary snare drum tuned like an 80s rock snare.
The shoes! Thanks for that detail.
Cool thanks for this Video :-) Jojo always great!
He is a great musician
Legend.
Love the collapsing bass pedal! What a great idea! Would buy a double pedal version for a "lefty" in a break beat ( cause it's faster than a heart beat!😉)!!!!!
best drummer out there.
Master drummer jojo .
He's so good
that syncussion remake is super sick
Thanks great video
At 6:22 holy coolness! At 6:45 amazing flow
you just can't not appreciate Jojo's phasing... even when he's obviously not paying much attention to playing. brilliant!
Is a fact, no one speaks about the throne...and is one of the most important things in our set. Even than the shoes
Watching Jojo Mayer and Benny Greb - others too, but especially them - has made me want to add more percussive elements to my kit. So now, in addition to a China, I am experimenting with bells. splashes and stacks - stacks and hat stacks, using Paiste cymbals, but with some Meinl elements too now. It is a lot of fun. I even like that Hoop Crasher thing he has on the snare - like two bits of cut out cymbal rivetted together - amazing! Meinl make something similar which has jingles on it. Anyway, I think the process for me at least is to try and replicate electronic type sounds without actually using any electronics. That's part of it anyway. To be honest, I don't know why Mayer bothers with the pads, although the Pearl clone device is pretty cool, I suppose!
Jojo❤❤❤
I have been waiting forever to hear that Sonor was putting out a “standard” Perfect Balance pedal. I love the feel of the original but the folding mechanism gave out on me after about a year. VERY interested...
I've learned more versatile drum sounds from just watching jojo Mayer than anyone. I do wonder if he has a specific seat he likes. The seat is very important, especially for long sessions
Sonor, it's in his bass drum technique dvd
Love Jojo! He is THE absolute shEE-IT!!! No doubt!
Jojo Geniooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Nice guy!
I swear, this is the panhandler I gave some loose change to the other day.
I had one of those collapsible pedals go down on me during a gig. Not a pleasant experience. Hope they upped the QA on that
Thank you
Love the Tony Williams at 9:50
That Syncussion is a great tool.
Putting leather soles on Chucks... that is mad flavor!
Good. Thanks a lot. :)
no mention of the Yamaha hi-hat stand ;)
And the most 'important' component is my bass drum pedal. Signature model of course and available real soon from your nearest reputable Sonor dealer!
Is Gavin Harrison the host?
Hey Mr Mayer Hums too when he plays 😱
I really like to hear a collab between Jojo and Ministry
....I use regular G1...... but the head on the side snare is a st dry........and if you watch the depth of the 10" tom compared to its diameter it seems deeper than 8"......
I'm a HARDCORE pAisTe fan. But those Hats are AMAZING.
💜
That bass pedal man, can’t decide if it’s for me. I play both heel down and up. Anyone got any feedback?
Did sabian ever release that stack as a signature? Fuck it sounds amazing
I can hear him humming when he is playing each example - does he talk about this in his videos?
Good catch! I didn't know he does that.
The number of cymbals in his live set keeps decreasing :) No chopper, no china, only one omni, no hand splashes. Still sounds amazing :)
But the number of electronics keeps increasing
Lil Brudda Mon!
"So basically there is not a single fucking thing on my set that is at all conventional" lol
But it’s basic. This is basic and that is basic. But it’s one of a kind
Jojo should write a book about how to play jungle
Hello friends, can anyone send me a link on where to find the in ears that Jojo presents in this video ? Thank you very much :)
He said they were called in ears, literally. Google from there
Does anyone know the name of the dampening mats that he uses on the snares and toms?
Thanks bro help a lot!
Does anybody know how he tunes his bassdrum? How does he get it to sound like this with a G1? It sounds massive!
It's triggered, or at least sample-augmented, I think
@@sammyloehnis3373 Yeah, he said that it was triggered
I know how I'm going to resole my old Converses now.
What drum machine is this? 3:40
His side snare sounded so good with nothing on it
He forgot to say what the two or three pads/triggers (not sure what to call them) that he uses are - I actually saw Nerve on this last tour in New Morning Paris (great show) and I’ve been wondering what they are ever since. They’re black and shaped like a curved bar. You can see them clearly when he is demonstrating the various “brains” that he uses. Anyone know what they are?
Roland BT-1 Trigger Bar
Thanks @@gregrelmueab2142!
IEM's - 'Stage Divers' - V4 is good, new V5 even better, but getting expensive..
God
His limbs are made from rubber or what?
Amazing 😊
Aric Importa approves this hahah
I swear his English gets better as the videos goes
leather soled chucks 🤣😂 whoah...
Gavin?
AntonNemahai did you find him yet? I keep ignoring that dude
One of the oddest kits Ive ever seen, but great drummer,
