Oh god damn.....I think this is the best Jojo video I've seen. And I've seen about 75 of them.....I'm gonna steal some of the beats for my drum solo I'm gonna do at my talent show :)
he's so amazing... he could play for hours and hours... i'd never get bored! he can also play with only hi-hat, bassdrum and snare.. absolutely amazing drummer, like johnny rabb
He is one amazing man... I got all the videos well 2 of them. MD05. Weapons for Modern drummer. Great stuff. I ve learned alot and still am. He is the great.
ahhhh! he's doing so much on just a few parts of that drumset. I'm ashamed to have a large kit but nothing comparable to this guy's skill level. what a phenom!
Remember that he is playing a very tiny set, it's the Sonor Jungle Set with a 16" Bassdrum (he probably didn't have time to tune it), and it is just recorded with a basic video camera from top, so don't expect to hear the low frequencies ;-) I think this jam was also rather spontaneuos, just to demonstrate some new products of Sabian. Indeed there is no comparison to a live performance!
its an elsabor picante hand crash its made for percussionists to use with the hands. Jojo found it useful for his style of playing. its really bright and has a really fast attack and decay. its a great cymbal.
@norjansonjoe YanusDV is right. This video was recorded before the OMNI cymbal was created. Jojo based the new OMNI cymbal line off the Sabian AAX El Sabor Picante Hand Crash. Which is what he used in this video.
wow!!!! he is amazing!!! really , I dont understend how to learn play like that, he really has his own style :O I saw really many drumers, but he is really amazing! (i am drumer since 2 years)
@IPstixrawesume He's hitting the outside of the snare towards the rim. There's less snare because of the tension of the drum head there. It's closer to a tom type sound.
Every time I see a JoJo Mayer video I end up practicing on a pillow for like an hour. That man has to have a hyperbolic time chamber or something WTF!!
I love how he pushes those blasts with his left hand 6:14. Though it doesn't have the power, it does have the insane pulsing rhythm to it. That's a rhythmatist ladies and gentlemen!
@alibabaolfat maybe to tighten the screw that grip the felt. sometimes i'll spin it if it gets a little too loose and i start to lose reactivity in it.
it's because of the camera mic. when you play something loud in front of the camera compared to the ambient noise... that sound in the background is going to go away.
for his hi hat work does he use french grip, but when he goes to play groups of threes like he does in jungle music does he just rotate his wrist back and forth between french and american??
DW is at the Moment the best Drum Manifacturing in the World, but in a way ur right... Sonor offers a wide spectrum of Sounds its really amazing, and thats why I love my Signature Set ;)
Still watching this on 2014 and its still good!!
Watching in 2016 and still good!!
Wow guys look at me I’m watching in 2020 I’m so cool watching a video!
why should it age ? art never ages
Bro, still watching on 2024
The sounds he gets out of that kit are phenomenal! Briliant everytime I see him play.
Unbelievable. Just stumbled upon this drummer tonight. Found my new favorite drummer as well.
Incredible hi-hat work and perfect ghost notes. My hero!
Oh god damn.....I think this is the best Jojo video I've seen. And I've seen about 75 of them.....I'm gonna steal some of the beats for my drum solo I'm gonna do at my talent show :)

absolutely amazing drummer, like johnny rabb
And this is why Jojo is my favorite drummer!! Wow
That was incredible. This man understands the eletronic music more than any other!
OH MY GOD ; I VE SEEN JOJO AT MUSICMESS '08 at the agora stage'nd it was such a great performance. beautiful to listen ...
all the respect still in 2018!!
i freakin love the sound of his signature ride. Its incredible!
That's the best house groove i've ever heard from a drummer!
He is one amazing man... I got all the videos well 2 of them. MD05. Weapons for Modern drummer.
Great stuff. I ve learned alot and still am.
He is the great.
der typ ist einfach schlagzeug krank für mich der beste schlagzeugspiele Jojo Mayer KING Respekt
Dude,
your technics and groove are amazing,
love those house beats,
keep up the goodwork!!!
This is the musician and the artist. Gotta love this monster.
yes it is, Jojo was actually one of the developers for that snare and for the sonor jungle kit.
ahhhh! he's doing so much on just a few parts of that drumset. I'm ashamed to have a large kit but nothing comparable to this guy's skill level. what a phenom!
it makes me happy that guys that play as fast as him can also groove really well
I love how there's noise in the beginning and right when jojo plays that's all you can hear
Wish I could have been there to witness this!
I just came back to watch it a third time... what crazy independence he has.
He has just reminded me why I love playing drums.
oh my god...
when i see this i'm so happy to see him tonight :)

i would say this is his ultimate solution after he can do every variation you can think of
every note he plays has a value
to me this is a real master
omg, the moment he started hitting those first few notes on the hi hat, i knew i was in for an astonishing solo. im not worthy
Some of the coolest drumming I've heard
simply wonderful
Jojo you are the man!!! Totally Sweet!!
Had that feeling when I saw him live;) I was this close too stand up and trow my chair away to start dancing (it was at a clinic).
damn what an amazing feel in his playing...
i say, this guy is a machine. he is UNBELIEVABLE
i am driving mad,jesus...amazing playing

My emotions while watching were in this order , first I was smiling, then I was laughing, then I started crying and threw my drums out.
He's a HUMAN DRUM MACHINE !
AMAZING !
the sonor drums he uses are usually unbelievable, and yes the cymbals are pimpin! i'm thinking of getting the fierce ride for jazzy stuff, duno yet
really awesome
he is the best i like his songs from nerve
@drumsandskate
You're right there. A true artist and genius.
thanks! I didn't know the name for it.
wow!!!! he is amazing!!! really , I dont understend how to learn play like that, he really has his own style :O I saw really many drumers, but he is really amazing! (i am drumer since 2 years)
some moments looks the video was accelerated...frankfurt is the man
So frickin' good.
@IPstixrawesume He's hitting the outside of the snare towards the rim. There's less snare because of the tension of the drum head there. It's closer to a tom type sound.

That's a rhythmatist ladies and gentlemen!
His technique is amazing!
Sounds like a full marching band coming from one man.......he is simply amazing......
@TheJoshualake ad for Sabian.
THIS IS SO AMAZING.
Thumbs up if you are now converted to Sabian!
This shows that you don't need a huge sized kit to get a big meaty sound. JoJo is a brilliant drummer. What skills.
exactly dude how could you not love the super roll hahahaha
that's really excellent drumming,
And pretty sick. Totally agree with you. And He even has proof: Secret Weapons for the modern drummer (DVD).
gotta love jojo
amazingly groovy
God of Drums 4 Ever
No one does it like Jojo!
o ye! good dance groove ! jojo-respect!
Jojo Mayer!! Unbelievable!!!
@Auldwin1
I would say its probably just the microphone that kinda cuts the sound cos of the cymbal.
Fantastic
Seeing Mr. Mayer play is quite inspiring. No point in throwing my drums out. =P
@alibabaolfat
maybe to tighten the screw that grip the felt. sometimes i'll spin it if it gets a little too loose and i start to lose reactivity in it.
uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that damn valving technique gets me so does the push pull what a master the best as of now in the drumming seen
drum machines are so last year... we got jojo now!
we cant compare to this genius
@beatleguy64 no it's a Sabian El Sabor Hand Crash. Made for Latin based players but JoJo had this in his set up for almost 2 years.
I think it's a Sonor jungle snare. You can pick them up for around 50 pounds in the UK.
Anyone know what snare and snare head he is using for the lower tension and lower tuned snare?
love it
That is a sweet hi hat stand, does anyone know what kind it is, or how much it would cost?
Jojo, einfach nur Geil !!!
Genial. Sacate una idea...
Did his hi-hat break at the very end there or was it just me?
One word. Epic.
hahaha yea man along with his playing i dig jojos style
it's because of the camera mic. when you play something loud in front of the camera compared to the ambient noise... that sound in the background is going to go away.
awesome...
7 people apparently dislike godlike drumming skills
lol! did anyone else notice all the background noise stops suddenly when he starts playing!?
drum n bass
got his album!
rofl, were u there? i think giant step pedal and 600 series are brilliant ...
@Sammo2988 You're right. My bad. But he actually switched to omni certainly when it came out.
for his hi hat work does he use french grip, but when he goes to play groups of threes like he does in jungle music does he just rotate his wrist back and forth between french and american??
@Anonymous122131 It's a AAX El Sabor 16" Hand Crash.
Anybody know if Jojo is left handed? That left hand of his is absolutely insane!
maestraso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Anonymous122131 I think it's an AAX Omni-crash.
this is freakin insane!!
its funny how all the background noises stop when he starts playing
i'm the only one who hears a high-pitched string ensemble when he does the dance-beat without using his kickdrum?... thumbs up if you feel the same...
Haha, thats som serious compressing in the beginning;) jojo is great as always
DW is at the Moment the best Drum Manifacturing in the World, but in a way ur right... Sonor offers a wide spectrum of Sounds its really amazing, and thats why I love my Signature Set ;)
@JoshuaBuffone it's custom made. search for: Guitar Center Sessions: Jojo Mayer - My Snare Drum
At the very very end it sounds like the last beat of the bass drum changes. How is he doing this?
06:15 What is the sound of one hand clapping... If that hand also happens to be holding a drumstick?
