It's the "JoJo" rig. "All" you need (not that this is cheap/easy to acquire, lol) is a "black" label Boss OC-2 Octaver pedal with the OCT 1 knob all the way up and the OCT 2 and DRY knobs all the way off. That gives the synth tone. The filtering (being controlled by an expression pedal) is being done with a Moog Moogerfooger Low Pass Filter pedal. Although an Iron Ether Xerograph can also be used in that role. Although, they're also pretty expensive and difficult to find, lol. He's also likely using a touch of some kind of overdrive or distortion either from a pedal or his amp. That though is far less crucial to acquiring that bass guitar sound than the Boss OC-2 and Low Pass Filter pedals. If you get those, any decent drive will do.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer how did you figure all of this out? :0 that’s awesome, thank you for sharing, I’ll visit back when I have time to buy more bass equipment. Focusing on getting a drum set for now
@@KD-vg2yn It's a known commodity in the JoJo Mayer community. He's made all the bassists who've played with him buy a Boss OC-2 and a MoogerFooger Low Pass Filter. He told Janek Gwizdala before his first gig with Nerve while at a Music shop before the tour started "you're buying these two pedals with your first check from the tour. Thank me later after I show you how to use them."
it’s always so rewarding watching Jojo play - someone with decades of both instrumental mastery AND complete dedication to the practical and philosophical advancement of percussion and music as a whole. we don’t deserve Jojo.
Saw Nerve at the Halifax Jazz Festival many moons ago. As a Drum and Bass fan I was blown away - who was this guy who could play all those insanely fast grooves on an actual kit? Amazing....
Jojo is great and we know. Though what is not pointed out is that the group is great. The total result is beautiful. Jacob Bergson and Aaron Nevezie are the ones taking me back to time of old school when dnb had musicality. They are bringing back the memories of dnb of the 90's which is unique and unforgettable!
I've seen this tune played live a few times and it's different every time because that's the way Nerve operates, with all the improvisations. Good stuff.
His kit is so cool and unique. Really love the way he uses those BT-1 bar triggers. Seeing them live was so so so good. I went into knowing nothing about them. A drummer friend took me because he had an extra ticket and I was so so grateful that he did. I had heard of Jojo and seen him in drumming magazines but had no idea about what kind of music he played. I didn’t see he Pearl syncussion replica. Also he only uses a Roland TM-2 module, so mind blowing. I’m surprised Why he wouldn’t want a TM-6 pro for his kit. It would have much more control over his sounds, direct sound outputs, be able to layer trigger sounds with acoustic drums
I remember watching Jojo at the drumming festival when I was a younger kid. I recently ran back into his work and I’m blown away and going on a jojo mayer binge 😂😌
Got to see them live at the Ardmore in PA and they set up with each member in a different part of the room so you could stand behind Jojo and walk around and watch each musician individually. It was really cool and Jojo put on an absolute masterclass. Got to smoke a cigarette with him after the show, super dope.
go back and watch his Modern Drummer appearance in 05'. th-cam.com/video/2VSGSFWagl4/w-d-xo.html It's an amazing performance but his clinics are quite informative too.
His hands DVD and foot dvd are the only dvds u will ever need....i promise if u practice what he shows you everyday....u will be 10x a better drummer then u are now...but EVERY FUCKING DAY EVEN WHEN U DONT WANT TO...WORK ON IT...
No he's not! He was born the same year I was: 1963, on Jan 09, he's 59 now. I'm 58 it's Jan 25 2022 today. That was filmed in 2020, when he was 58, and he doesn't look a day over 57! Daaaaaaaaaaaaang! Are you like 10?
Also, I imagined the rimshots while they werent' audible cause fuck the lack of sound, I know how Jojo does the do and it's a little better to know he left us with such confidence in his abilities that we can totally musically hear his actions though not audibly. This is the quality musicianship I adore. The sound engineers, errrrrrrrr- Thank you for trying your best to capture one of the best D&B drummers ever?
@@polyticks8453 My dad played Bass guitar in bands from the 70's thru the 90's!! He taught me all I know from the guitar, drums, and bass guitar! Trust me, I have heard how the bass player and drummer are the backbone of keeping time in a song!
She played great in her own sense and interpretation of the beat. However, I liked the video because of her message and her testimony at the one of it 👏🏼
@@jakuburban6289 Well no, just different preferences, as a drummer i find Jojo much more diverse in his playing, plus his soloing game is just next level phrasing and motific/melodic development wise .. If i was a Hip-hop enthusiast though i would likely go with JD, kid is nuts.
When you close your eyes, you wouldn't be able to tell if the drums were real or electronic, played by a human or just a drum machine much less if it were live or recorded. That's what Jojo is.
Bringing drum and bass back to drum and bass - simply amazing
Yeah better to have a real drummer
This is Jungle! ☝️🙂
his ghost notes are simply amazing. everything about his playing is amazing.
Too bad that the snare is gated so hard that you can't really hear to nuances...
@@phasesofperceptionmusic what? what are you hearing
@@phasesofperceptionmusic even then, its electronic music, what else did you expect
@@spitgorge2021 Just the gate on the snare mic is pretty hard. So you can't hear all that tasty ghost notes. For example @2:55 the rim clicks are gone
The hits are there, but ghost snare notes are all about that human touch.
One of my biggest inspirations of all time...!!
He's insane. Another dimension.
With jojo I wouldn’t have gotten to see Matt McGuire slay it with the push pull technique 😂
Yeah dude, I gotta learn that push pull technique from you guys
The Best
Obsessions are good
Every instrument sounds amazing, i can’t believe that bassist has that tone live. That is wicked!

Jojo was really ahead of its time. "Why compete a drum machine?" I asked myself 22 years ago. Now I get it....
the coolest electric bass sounds I’ve ever heard in my life
He's triggering a synthesizer, you are not hearing the actual bass.
@@Bob-of-Zoid Why wouldn't they just get a key board player in there. Seems more likely he would just apply filters and effects to it.
@@Bob-of-Zoid most of that was pure OC-2 pedal
yeah :o I thought it was a synth bassist at first!!
@@Bob-of-Zoid It is an actual bass.
Man those three hits twice on bass drum at 1:44 were just so insane.
Jojo is like fine wine
Human drum machine. I love the mix of acoustic and electric drums in his setup. That electric left pedal really works well for the bass lines.
💯💕💕
He is still getting better. Beautiful touch.
I've seen this tune played live a few times and it's different every time because that's the way Nerve operates, with all the improvisations. Good stuff.
My favorite drummer of all time. He's incredible.
Masterpiece. His drum kit is his dance floor. All about technic and musicality
Hell yeah. Saw nerve live in Atlanta back in 2019. Still one of the best live shows I've seen
That's probably the best synth bass tone I've ever heard come out of an electric bass
Heavy phaser, heavy enveloper, auto filter… sounds like they took a heavy synth effect and modified it to suit the bass
oc-2 + phaser maybe something else
So unique and inspiring. We need more of this gig please, Drumeo!
The Einstein of Drums!! Greatest!!
They make it look so easy, all of them are incredible.
💯
I met Jojo at his clinic in NZ years ago, amazing guy! And seriously one of the greatest players in the world. A true honor
Woah a hospital for drummer? Nice
I love the way Jojo’s mind works- another level
Jacob chillin' in his professorial turtleneck. What greatness!
Unreal...so many great drummers . Mayer lets it go . Great pocket presence .
Great creative and technical drumming! Jojo Mayer has an irresistible style by looking like Disco Stu after 30 hours of no sleep..
Amazing drumming! Super tight and endless endurance
His kit is so cool and unique. Really love the way he uses those BT-1 bar triggers. Seeing them live was so so so good. I went into knowing nothing about them.

Yes! Fantastic sounding! I can add another favorite drummer to my list! Drums are the best!
You get on my Nerve.
You got on my Nerve.
You got Nerve onstage!
Some nerve you have to do so! Love it!
Und der Sound von dem Kit - phänomenal!
Double Bass drum patterns with a single pedal. A typical jojo mayer day 😂
I had to look at his leg twice for a moment holy fek
@@brianroxxu i did too. That was tight.
Impressive, but they're only triplets.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power as long as it sounds good, it doesn't if it's just triplets.
Not triplets.
th-cam.com/video/kiScdsaD2GU/w-d-xo.html
simple, minimalistic and AMAZING!!!
He's the only one I know in this universe that can make stuff like that song... Just *FLOW* like it's that easy
I listened to a lot of this back in the day, but not played live. I'm so inspired to learn how to play it a little
Please tell me now that you have. If not, I can't and won't fault you if you couldn't.
jojo never ceases to blow my mind
This guy is pretty good. I hope he makes it big one day.
Lol

God Bless Dom Famularo ❤
Absolutely!
As someone who likes drum and bass , this is wonderful to hear
I’m upset I’ve never hear of Jojo or Nerve, absolutely fantastic!!!!
go back and watch his Modern Drummer appearance in 05'. th-cam.com/video/2VSGSFWagl4/w-d-xo.html

Go watch the documentary on Jojo Mayer that came out a few years ago. It’s free on TH-cam. Go now!

No rack tom! Buggar he can do great fills! Thanks man
Love Jojos drumming he inspired me to make a lot of breaks.
I really like the playing style of jojo love this performance 💯♥️🎶
Greetings from the netherlands 🇳🇱✨
💕💕💯
Jojo is gonna be 90yo still playing sicker break beats than the new kids.
MorbidManMusic Again Hmm. JD is more Chris Dave than Jojo in my opinion. Either way JD is indeed a badass. 🤘
Noah Bird seconding that. i also think jojo is a far more nuanced player than JD, but that’s to be expected given the gap in experience.
Ive never hear of him before... I though "wow those are some sick beats for an old white dude" :-D
No he's not! He was born the same year I was: 1963, on Jan 09, he's 59 now. I'm 58 it's Jan 25 2022 today. That was filmed in 2020, when he was 58, and he doesn't look a day over 57! Daaaaaaaaaaaaang! Are you like 10?
@@Bob-of-Zoid Re read. Drink less coffee.
He is in a different level. Youngsters take note!.
Man thats so sick!
Absolutely Amazing !!!!!!! The Great and the only... Mr Jojo Mayer !!!!!
what an incredible drumming !!! musical, incredible sound, smart playing...magic
Not a drummer, but that was a delight to listen to. Thanks!
JoJo Mayer is my favorite drummer lately
Just FANTASTIC
From Korea

Do you mean the cross sticks? That bit was frustrating for me
MR MAYER IT'S A GENIUS !! THANK YOU JOJO MAYER AND NERVE !!
Jojo Mayer and his band is insane
Watching from Philippines
Amazing! Cool hybrid kit stuff! 🤩
I've never listened to something like this
I'm blown away
How have I not been listening to nerve this is insane
Big LOVE from Texas!❤
greetings from england thanks team drumeo
this is super sick and extra crunchy

fantastic! how it possible! brilliant!
Singular. Fantastic.
Mother of god!!! All the talent
worldclass Top.
great feel.. inspiration.. Thanks Jojo & Band🌠
💕💯💯
i love jojo
I love it when we hear a relatively new sound. Seems like an interesting blend between maybe the sounds of a Bill Frizell and John Scofield.
this is what people in the 80s thought the future was gunna be like
LOL
They were obviously right
But humans are lazy
@@javiceres aka as efficient?
😂 way off kid, it's a very 1999, Matrix, web core sound.
Wow wow wow wow
was waiting for this for 10 years or so since their last apperance in modern drummer festival.
Love it .....love it.....love it!
I've seen them live, believe me that could be the best experience you'll get for jungle music.
Lovely
Watching from London
jojo is so great🎉
best drum and bass player on the world.
That ride...
Jojo Mayer pour moi un des meilleurs batteurs c certain
yeah i love, i love all! i love the style of Jojo
Yes.....Excellent job
Great drumming, but really, and I mean really great bass guitar!! You could see they were eye-locking during some of the complex parts. Great Video!!!
Bass is the core of the band rhythmically and conceptually in musical and artist terms.

Please, tell me a 1-hour long lesson with Jojo is coming on drumeo.. i really need it.
if im not wrong i remember hes got a dvd but thats like 20 year old
That would be freaking amazing
@@rurounikenshin9948 yeah, The Secret Weapon For The Modern Drummer, awesome

Jojo is the master of time.

Don legend:)

hes more in common wth morgan agren
Awesome, we will be Drumming in up from New Zealand ! BOOM! CRASH BANG!!
Jojo Mayer is a drum god!
2:22 kick and bass 😌😌😌

Incredible 🤘
