The technique, the confidence, the showmanship - it is pure joy to watch this young lady play the drums. I’m 60 now - I’ve been playing the drums since my early teens. I’ve never seen anybody like her. The power of her hits. The perfect kick technique that does not choke the head. Thanks for sharing this Yoyoka and may you always be this joyful as a musician. Amazing!
I have never seen someone so young with such a fundamental understanding of music and timing. Videos like this are usually of children doing what the song requires, not what it feels. They follow a pattern, or a blueprint of sorts without understanding what the song is supposed to be. I've watched countless prodigies hammering away at notes on a page and never once felt like they knew what those notes meant. This girl feels the music. She loves it. She embraces it. What an absolute treasure. I can't wait to see where the future takes her.
@@akule3430 She is impressive indeed, but not as creative as Yoyoka. And she kind of appears unnatural when playing the drums - more focused on how she would look and behave on camera, rather than trying to play in her own style
mirotech I agree like you said she is good very good but, it when it comes on the camera playing it’s like she’s showing of. To me it just feel unnatural about her.
I've played drums since 1982. The maturity of the playing of Yoyoka combined with her happiness is unreal. I can not do what she does, hence she just got one more fan.
@Michael Srite Thanks for the question. I would definitely call her a prodigy. I have taught a few kids play drums, but never met anyone this talented. Her technique is very good and is beyond what you would expect from a 9 year old. The way she plays is what you would expect from an amateur drummer taking weekly lessons and playing a couple of hours 2-3 times a week for at least 10 years AND playing weekly in a good band. Many who do the above unfortunately still never reach her level. In addition the emotional embracing of music that she displays comes with years and years of playing live gigs with good musicians. One could expect this level of musicianship from a 20 year old drummer who started playing at 10 years old and has played with good musicians in a band for most of his youth. No one plays drums this well, practicing at home, playing covers with a background track and being 9 years old. Except Yoyoka.
@Shufei we sometimes forget all musicians are entertainers as well as musicians. The more fun you are having entertaining yourself the more entertaining you will be performing. And she doesn't sacrifice sound for entertainment. She is the total package. I agree with you 100%. I have been around talent my whole life. Some seem to be born with talent that some can never achieve no matter how much effort they put into it. My point is, I am rarely in awe of anyone, but I am in awe of Yoyoka. I would drive long distance and pay good money to see her. If you haven't seen her doing Stray Cat, standing up with only a snare, bass drum, and cymbal, you have to see it! I have to add, very well said, Shufei!
@Michael Srite There is a video on TH-cam of Robert Plant watching her play. He want's her to play with Led Zeppelin! th-cam.com/video/-XYr6H2mGxk/w-d-xo.html
Chus Fernandez 😂Thanks for the laugh! In all honesty, I don’t think you could have picked a greater role model. She’s insanely gifted and has the time of her life expressing it. Comment of the day!
Don't be embarrassed!! I started playing bass 2 years ago... at age 56!!! My inspirations are Toshiya of Dir En Grey and Reita of The Gazette, but also Carol Kaye of the Wrecking Crew, Lemmy of Motorhead...and tons of other bassists... I'll never be in a band, I just play for the fun of it...and I don't read music either! Please, just enjoy yourself!
Good for you! I think that's fantastic. 👍🏼 Having never played an instrument in my life, I picked up an electric guitar in my upper 40s. Even though I only play for myself in my living room, it is one of the greatest joys in my life. Kinda corny, but true.
Embarrassed? Why? I’d say not only have you taken up a very cool and satisfying hobby but you’ve chosen an outstanding role model. She’s doing something she loves, and is damn good at it.
What set Yoyoka apart from just about every other drummer on TH-cam is the way she grooves while playing. A lot of others I have seen look like robots while playing and it's no knock on them. I think its just that her talent is so innate, so inborn that it's just that much easier for her and she can have that much more fun while doing it.
Forget the talent for a bit (and for sure she's freaking talented), she's just having the best time of her life playing drums, what more could you ask about it?
EVERY SINGLE COVER! she does, by the end I am IN TEARS OR LAUGHING WITH JOY - both the same! - its just my brain hasn't caught up with what I have just witnessed and can't figure out how to respond.
Beside the fact this girl is outstanding, happy, inspiring, brilliant, skillful, soulful, mindful... she has made at least 10 thousand plus people smile, but also made them humble. go and read these comments, i bet there are some real talented people who commented and not one of them are negative, and for the love of god, who would say anything negative about her. But that is an accomplishment hard to pull off with so many differences of opinion in this world... not with her. i don't know what would make the 81 people that thumbs downed her happy, but we hope they find it somewhere.
Ridiculous. She’s a gift to the world. Japanese girls are obviously wired differently to the rest of us. They have the funk gene. She plays with so much groove, so much enthusiasm. I love to see it. What will she be like in ten years? My brain can barely process her ability now.
I came home from work, tired and fed up. A friend shared this video and I watched it with a huge ear to ear grin on my face. Commenting during my 5th consecutive play of the video. Still grinning from ear to ear. The joy is totally infectious!! Thank you!
For all you haters out there, get a life. This girl is so good she knows she can also enjoy the moment. Self taught, and started young, because she wanted too. The first thing Robert Plant said after watching her play one of Zeps songs was "I know where she can get a job". Now I don't think he would take her on tour, but he was immensely impressed. I can't wait till her future arrives. She is for real and you haters are extremely jealous.
Although my instrument isn’t the drums, I am a musician and I have to say, along with Yoyoka’s incredible talent, seeing how into the music she is and how much fun she’s having, genuinely brought tears to my eyes. THAT is what music is all about! Long may she continue!! Consider me a fan :)
Talking about groove, check her version of Anderson Paak "Put Me Thru". My fave version. And Peter Gabriel's "Steam". Groove runs in her veins. Awesome musicianship.
Self taught, started playing drums at 2 years old. Don't read music. She ain't got time for that. All the music theory is in her head! Love Yoyoka, my favorite drummer!
@@greatkingrat I saw her on Ellen Show. She has been playing since she was 2. I am not against learning theory, but I don't think most people can grasp just how blessed she is! She was born with theory already in her head. I remember when New York Symphony Orchestra was skeptical about playing with the Beatles because they didn't read music, until they played with them. Some are blessed with musical talent. My brother took 2 lessons from Cotton Bud Rogers, one of the greatest teachers of string instruments in the 60's. The 2nd week he told mother to not bring Randy back because he had learned to play guitar in 2 weeks and he was boring Randy. I learned to play in 1970 from the Allman Brothers Band album and a 1001 chord book. My little sister has a PHD in the performance of the Oboe and taught Oboe and piano while getting her degrees, and still teaches private lessons. Please don't think I am bragging. I know how hard it is for most to learn to play and the efforts they put in and the efforts the teachers put in to give people the gift of being able to play and perform. If you have gift I am talking about, you will understand. If you don't and have never witnessed someone with the gift, I am sure it is hard to grasp. Butch Walker was probably born with the gift. He was as good as any guitarist at 17, the first time I saw him play, and like Prince, he plays every instrument on his albums.
Joey Alexander, youngest professional jazz pianist. 2 times grammy nominee for jazz album (when he still 12-13 yrs old). Completely self taught since 4 yrs old. Born and raise in some random country, bali, Indonesia. Already released several albums. jamming with professional jazz musician since 7 yrs old. His talent is no joke. Just like this little cute girl Yoyoko
I don’t even like this song, but I can watch Yoyoka do it 100 times. She adds so much life with her performance. When the world goes insane, yoyoka can always bring you a smile.
Her playing goes beyond just talent. She feels the music, you can tell by how she reacts to parts where she’s not playing drums like playing air guitar, and just by her playing technique. I’ve seen drummers of 30+ years not have a groove like she does.
She is not just great, she is absolutely unbelievable for all the reasons explained by all your comments below, her spirit , her talent, her maturity in her ways yet her naivety in her joy of playing, all of it make her a super unbelievably phenomenal, its like she has a whole long life of playing behind her, maybe its her second life doing it. Who knows but I can`t stop watching her videos.
I can't stop watching these videos. Yoyoka you are simply amazing. Your quality and skills are incredible at any age, because of the fact you are so young, and with these unbelievable skills, not just playing what you have learned, but playing it with passion, and style, of your own. You have fun at it. There are some, rather a lot of musicians out there, who have been at it for many years, and they don't come close to your abilities. I can say i play drums, however i am not pro, i don't play much at all, buti have been inspired to kick the dust off them, for my own pleasure. anyway little child, you make a whole lot of people smile when we watch and hear you play. I would love to know when you discovered you had a natural talent. people who play at your level, and it is a high level, are only taught the theory, but the skills you possess are with in your soul.... might be kinda heavy to understand, probably not.
As I see her, she is just a medium. She's not ahead of the music or behind. She gets the drift of a song from a few listens, and then she's just an invisible medium translating her senses of what to do into actions.
I can't believe the air guitar at the beginning. That's the sign of someone really, really into what she's doing. Also her cuing vocal parts with the sticks.
I used to hate this song because it had been overplayed.... until now! Watching Yoyoka smash, crash and smile all the way through this was awesome. She really conveys a sense of fun and joy and I figure that's not a bad thing for a musical artist....
Its totally insane. She is just "playing", having fun. Lets groove a bit? Taaa dam da dam! da da da da daaam! Tsch Tsch Tsch ,,,, ding ding ding! Da da da da da dam!
I guess no one ever told her this was supposed to be hard work, not just playing around. This is how life is supposed to be! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
A shout-out to Yoyoka's parents for exposing her to quality music and giving her everything she needed to fly once they saw that she was ready for take-off.
I have just discovered this amazing person I can't believe what she does SHE IS MY FAVOURITE DRUMMER I'M 46. FOLLOWED AND PLAYED FOR YEARS SHE IS SO TALENTED
If you see a child around 4 years old, dancing to music in a natural way and obviously enjoying themselves to the extreme. Please buy them a drum kit. The above is the result.
It’s an OMG moment!!!!!! Totally on with timing. What a joy to view! Yoyoka dances when she plays. Totally AWESOME!!! Makes me smile when I watch such young talent. 😃
Whoever thought I would have so much fun watching a little girl play drums? You are awesome and I totally enjoy watching you and listening to you. Keep them coming. The world loves you.
I agree with all of comments about playing what she feels. One reason is, at this time, she didn't even know how to read music. A natural TALENT! This girl has FUNK! My favorite little Drummer Girl!
There is only one thing I love more than watching her crushing these pieces and that’s the pure joy in her facial expressions! She is a treasure and a gift of joy and hope to all!
I've watched this about 20 times in the last 3 days. Amazing - what a great kid. Not only talented but looks so happy - a joy to see in these times of doom.
she is amazing and she is just now learning how to read music, she has learned every thing by her ear which is even more amazing, I just hopes she keeps playing as long as she is having fun because you can see the joy in her expression when she's playing
The technique, the confidence, the showmanship - it is pure joy to watch this young lady play the drums. I’m 60 now - I’ve been playing the drums since my early teens.

スティックをクルクル回したりする人がいるけど、よよかちゃんは無駄な動作が無いからこちらも集中出来る。

僕の中でうますぎてなんの参考にもならない叩いてみた動画ランキング1位です。
It’s the socks I’m telling you, they are magical.
Yoyoka was and still is a stunning drummer. Her tribute live for the eartquake victims shows thatg she's still connected to Japan..
Forget the talent for a bit (and for sure she's freaking talented), she's just having the best time of her life playing drums, what more could you ask about it?
Exactly. She's a kid first and a bad ass drummer, second.
The coolest thing ever !
I also play a musical instrument. Yet the only similarity between me and this girl is I also own those socks.
I lol'd. Apart from her skill, my favorite part of these videos is seeing her socks, ha.
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol 😆😆😆👈
Brilliant!!!
That ending... it's like we're watching a kid paint with all a kid's brilliant imagination but the drawing ability of top professional.
This child is influenced by an ancient Japanese mountain spirit that lives through the power of music and brings joy to all those that hear her drums.
My second favorite is "Good Times Bad Times - LED ZEPPELIN / Cover by Yoyoka , 8 year old""
This is the happiest little girl on the planet. NEVER take those drums away. She going to do great things.
見ている人を幸せにする小さい女の子。素晴らしい！
This is the video that made Yoyoka a TH-cam star ⭐⭐⭐✨✨✨
EVERY SINGLE COVER! she does, by the end I am IN TEARS OR LAUGHING WITH JOY - both the same! - its just my brain hasn't caught up with what I have just witnessed and can't figure out how to respond.
Tears or laughing with joy... me too! From YOKOHAMA JAPAN
Yoyoka's snare: "She's quite nice to me today...", but at 2:32 - "Oh no, here we go again..."
Take two things into consideration: she is self-taught, and she cannot read sheet music. And yet, she's a BOSS drummer.
Can't and also won't read sheet music. She simply does not like it.
pure joie de vivre
i don't even speak French

No need to be racist about it. It's Yoyoka that's awesome, not "Japanese girls".
英才教育の賜物なのでしょうか❓ 素晴らしいです😄 こんな素敵なお嬢さんを産んでくださってありがとうございます❗️
ご両親はアマチュアのミュージシャンでしたが、お二人ともドラムは叩けないそうです。全部よよかさんが自然に自分で身に着けたそうですよ。
いやーもう、本当にカッコいい。
ノリノリでw
この子が素晴らしいのは、本当に音楽に入り込んで、楽しんでいる、
ってところに真髄があるように思う。
スティックをドラムに置きに行くような叩き方をするドラマーが多い中、よよかちゃんのスティックを振り下ろしてスネアをひっぱたく姿がカッチョイイ
She even nailed the funk rhythm when she played the air guitar! Someone give her a Stratocaster and a Twin Reverb and lets see what she does.
she plays the guitar too
I tell ya, if you did you'd have a one-woman band that sounds better than the original lol
Pure joy!

My daily Yoyoka Soma video keeps me happy :)
SAME HERE ..I WAS BUMMED , BUT NOT NOW !!!
just the sheer look of joy on her face as she plays...
I started playing about a year ago and I just turned 50. Yo-Chan gives me the greatest inspiration.
Wow, that's a hell of a groove.
10 year's old?....OMG..
Talking about groove, check her version of Anderson Paak "Put Me Thru". My fave version. And Peter Gabriel's "Steam". Groove runs in her veins. Awesome musicianship.
9, actually in this video....
Wow...This is beyond playing the drums...it's more like she dancing with it!
She is dancing!...this kid is truly a little miracle!
Beats watching people on American Idol that have no talent. Love her ❤️
This girl Yoyoka is nothing but a Drum Monster!!!
She's got the Whole Rock Beat in herself!!!
Five Star Rating for you Yoyoka!!!
This is the first time I’ve actually enjoyed listening to this song.
Self taught, started playing drums at 2 years old. Don't read music. She ain't got time for that. All the music theory is in her head! Love Yoyoka, my favorite drummer!

She has made me understand the definition of joyful abandon
I don't think I'll ever get there but I sure enjoy watching it
いずれ今より更に大ブレークする時が来る。
この逸材を業界が放っておくわけがない。先に海外かもしれないね。
As a muso of 45 years I am absolutely humbled by the talent and enthralled in this young lady's joy when she is playing
No matter how hard she beats those drums she's never winded! Amazing!
相変わらずすげぇな。ていうか確実に成長してるな。演奏前のリズムの取り方がもうグルーヴを感じさせる。いいメンバー見つけてみんなに演奏聞かせるバンド組む日を待ってる
髪に隠れると、ス-パ-スターが演奏してるように見える。顔が見えると、10才の笑顔。
Wow so much energy on that one and much better than the original song!
Her enthusiasm while playing is infectious! And I love how she waves with her drumstick in the beginning and end.
This is one of Yo Yo's greatest performance 😃
演奏中のこの子の脳波を見てみたい
きっと波形がすごいビートを刻んでるんだよ
Little drum dancer.😁👍🤘
オリジナルのエッセンスは忠実に、好きなアレンジを加えて自由自在にプレイができるのはドラマーにとどまらず音楽の総合的才能が突出していると思う！音楽を通しての自己表現力が素晴らしい！
Her playing goes beyond just talent. She feels the music, you can tell by how she reacts to parts where she’s not playing drums like playing air guitar, and just by her playing technique. I’ve seen drummers of 30+ years not have a groove like she does.
I could only assume all the dislikes are from tamborine players.
Haters going hate no matter what
Morons. It's impossible not to like this.
its actually from jealous Chinese parents
chibear666 seriously, who can’t love this. Must be dead inside
Imbecilic, Immature and senseless people would dislike this Wonder-girl!
The kid understands what it is to not only play the song but have the groove.u can't teach groove.
She is not just great, she is absolutely unbelievable for all the reasons explained by all your comments below, her spirit , her talent, her maturity in her ways yet her naivety in her joy of playing, all of it make her a super unbelievably phenomenal, its like she has a whole long life of playing behind her, maybe its her second life doing it. Who knows but I can`t stop watching her videos.
You said it!...all I can add is that I've literally cried tears of pure joy watching her, laughing with delight at the same time!😂
She's been playing since age 2.
That's years of practice.
She's been playing live onstage
with other musicians since she
was 4.
She has experience.
I can't stop watching these videos. Yoyoka you are simply amazing. Your quality and skills are incredible at any age, because of the fact you are so young, and with these unbelievable skills, not just playing what you have learned, but playing it with passion, and style, of your own. You have fun at it. There are some, rather a lot of musicians out there, who have been at it for many years, and they don't come close to your abilities. I can say i play drums, however i am not pro, i don't play much at all, buti have been inspired to kick the dust off them, for my own pleasure. anyway little child, you make a whole lot of people smile when we watch and hear you play.

I used to hate this song because it had been overplayed.... until now! Watching Yoyoka smash, crash and smile all the way through this was awesome. She really conveys a sense of fun and joy and I figure that's not a bad thing for a musical artist....

これヤバすぎ。抜くところはしっかり抜いて、強く行く所はぐっとスピードを上げるのでずっと心地よいグルーヴが続いてく！そしてラストのたたみかけもパターンが多いので次何が来るのか楽しみで最後までしっかり聞いてしまう。曲を飽きさせないリズムって本当凄い👍
I guess no one ever told her this was supposed to be hard work, not just playing around. This is how life is supposed to be! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

questionmarke me too!

A shout-out to Yoyoka's parents for exposing her to quality music and giving her everything she needed to fly once they saw that she was ready for take-off.
check out her and her parents doing Rage against the machine i think it bulls on parade....!
killing in the name.
She is amazing. No one lives in the groove like Yoyoka.
I am this girls biggest fan she's the greatest God bless her parents.
No, I am... lol she is great.
I have just discovered this amazing person
I can't believe what she does
SHE IS MY FAVOURITE DRUMMER
I'M 46. FOLLOWED AND PLAYED FOR YEARS
SHE IS SO TALENTED
I never could tolerate that song before. Yoyoka gave me a reason to listen to the complete song. Worth it.
She looks like she’s having so much fun it makes me want to learn drums!
Yoyoka that is better than the original! And I can’t believe how much you have improved over the past year too!
Who doesn't love watching our favourite little maestro Yoyoka Soma!
If you see a child around 4 years old, dancing to music in a natural way and obviously enjoying themselves to the extreme. Please buy them a drum kit. The above is the result.
It’s an OMG moment!!!!!! Totally on with timing. What a joy to view! Yoyoka dances when she plays. Totally AWESOME!!! Makes me smile when I watch such young talent. 😃
In this little is probably hidden an extraodinary drummer!😉
Whoever thought I would have so much fun watching a little girl play drums? You are awesome and I totally enjoy watching you and listening to you. Keep them coming. The world loves you.
まさに音を楽しんでる人。
真っ直ぐでほっこりする子だなぁ。
I agree with all of comments about playing what she feels. One reason is, at this time, she didn't even know how to read music. A natural TALENT! This girl has FUNK! My favorite little Drummer Girl!
There is only one thing I love more than watching her crushing these pieces and that’s the pure joy in her facial expressions! She is a treasure and a gift of joy and hope to all!
im back again to watch the snare hits at 00:41 , 00:44 and 00:48 in slow motion
いい笑顔、素晴らしいドラミングです。^_^
Impressive 👏🏻
This Japanese girl is KILLING IT!!!
こんばんわ。よよかちゃん、どんどん進化していますね。９歳になったんですね。これからが楽しみですね。頑張って下さい。応援しています。
Yoyo's talent will shock you. Don't believe me? Just watch.
I am a drummer myself and I can't stop watching Yoyoka's videos. She is amazing.
She's probably the only one to put a smile on my face on one of my worst days 😄
まさに鳥肌もんだな、この表現力、ただの器用なドラマーではない、
海外からのメッセージが多いことから、よよかちゃんの凄さがわかるよ、
音楽ってこうも国境超えて伝わるものなんですね、
I've watched this about 20 times in the last 3 days.
Amazing - what a great kid.
Not only talented but looks so happy - a joy to see in these times of doom.
she is amazing and she is just now learning how to read music, she has learned every thing by her ear which is even more amazing, I just hopes she keeps playing as long as she is having fun because you can see the joy in her expression when she's playing
She is bopping along in the groove like this was written by her from the start.
She is amazing.
いやぁ楽しいなぁ
この曲を知ったのは Super Bowl 50 Halftime Showだったんだけど
よよちゃんがHalftime Showで叩いてる映像が浮かんじゃいましたよ
