      Living inside the music is a precise description of her playing. I’ve used different language to describe that about her. It’s like she’s dancing to the music but using drums instead. She’s the most natural drummer I’ve ever seen. This is aside from the fact that she’s a technical monster; I’m talking about something else, like I think you are.

A force of nature, a human metronome that is always in the pocket. We love you in Savannah, GA. Yoyoka. The fun and joy you have playing is absolutely contagious. The most beautiful thing about you besides your drumming is the fact that you are an awesome human being . Congrats to your parents for doing such a great job. Keep having fun and please don't ever change !!!!!

      I agree with your assessment: "This is once in a blue moon talent". She is a great talent, full of joy, yet hard working, humble and kind. However, a tiny correction: she was 10 years old, not 11. AFAIK, she's still at Elementary school. She played a little bit of YYZ recently. I think on a live stream? It was effortless for her. I was genuinely shocked. Happy New Year to You and Yours.

      It seems like a natural progression to me. She started with Bonzo and mastered his patterns, then she figured out Steward Copeland's insanity. Neal Peart seemed like a logical peak to strive for. While she killed this song, I'd love to see her tackle some of the more challenging drum parts from Rush. I think she can do it!

It's like she's enjoying being the conduit between an invisible source and the drum set; without thought, without any resistance or concern. Everything just unfolds as it should, with explosive power and impeccable timing; and she delights in the phenomena as much as we delight in her.
