i agree about it being visually better , but i think match grip makes things a lot easier. The point of traditional was to be able to hit the snare with ease do to the angle of its dangle ( been savin that one for the perfect occasion). once the snare was put on a flat stand i fell like traditional lost its point. maybe its cause i could never get the hang of it. it only works right for me when i play open handed.
this would take 42 to hours of hard ass work to program this into a computer, and he plays it away like its nothing. Thats why playing an instrument is essential to programming good music. You can do a lot of things with programming that you can't do with live instruments but the direct creative input from a live instrument is far more superior then that of a laptop or computer.
@billo008 I am a drummer too, and yes i think that zack Hill has a more wierd style going on!!!, but not faster or more difficult to count than Jojo. Actually i think his rhythms are way easyer to figur out than Jojo.. But not easy at all. And i allsoo think that he is a very fast drummer!! if you havnt seen Jojo mayers dvd a will strongly recomend it. Sorry for my bad english.
@morpheusdrummer1 I bought it. But the dvd is only about hand technique. And the most of it is allready on youtube but its a great dvd! it really helpt my handspeed a bit and my understanding of how importent the physics of every litle action in drumming is!.. Benny Grebs dvds on the otherhand where more helpfull too me about feeling/grooving and learning rudiments with his own litle very cool system that he made! I strongly recommend both dvds to all real seriously drummers out there.
hey yall may not agree but I've been hearing a little aaron influence in jojo's playing lately....especially after they (jojo &aaron) did aaron's last dvd.....
@PoeticJustice05 yar. specifically, Sonor has lost alot of their artists to DW in the last year. Sonor got a new A&R person, and he's like, wrecked the company.
@billo008 Faster by NO means is better. I'm a huge math rock fan, so I love Hella. But if you watch Jojo's DVD, you'll see shit Zach could never do, speed-wise. Jojo's heel-toe is way better than Zachs, as well as, like you said, his overall technique... It sometimes pains me to watch Zach, because he is so stiff and such a heavy hitter. Regardless, his style is still weird as hell.

Didn't know Howard Stern played drums... Excellent sticking (especially during traditional grip).

Jojo looks cool and smooth with the face fuzz. He still is a brilliant drummer either way. Good stuff.
@nicholassmll yeah for sure ay he's definitely been taking more of a linear approach to his fills

Man this is funny I thought he was Steve Gadd from the 70's until I turned up my speakers lol
IM COOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!

What type/brand is that crash cymbal next to his floor tom, down low, that sounds like an explosion?
nice looks! haha! lets go back to the past! what year is it now? LOL
@PoeticJustice05 didn't even realise danny carey was with sonor, i've only ever seen him associated with those Paiste Metal drums. /googles
hey yall may not agree but I've been hearing a little aaron influence in jojo's playing lately....especially after they (jojo &aaron) did aaron's last dvd.....
"Hello.." it sounds exactly a machine voice
oh lordy, the man know how to play.

his technique is perfect...
@stylerprofyler That just kills me. At least Benny Greb, Chris Coleman, and Danny Carey are still with them.
@mattholland990 THE 1 THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE OUTHER TEN,LOL
