Whoever programmed this guy is awesome, dope samples too.
Underrated comment🤣
Lol
lol
hahaha
😆🔥👊
its so crazy the way he approximates aphex twin/squarepusher-esque snare rushes with those one handed rolls and just overall computerized chopped up feel. this dude is amazing.
yeah. have you listened to uberjam with the john scofield band. adam deitch is on the drums and there's a drum and bass/jungle feel in a few of em.
@4:00
Gabe Drangles absolutely, was hearing Jungle Fiction playing in my head.
@@JFabrication hahaha yessir
this is the perfect comment
I love the fact that probably 90% of those people don't listen to drum n bass but when it's played on drums, everyone gathers around. This man is a legend
Totally true! It's huge!
This is hard step and massive jungle. Not just any drum n bass. Filthy
no bass btw
you know why that is? Because all music is live better, people "get" music way faster when heard live, i was at a festival recently, and black midi played, and some of the people i went with i showed them black midi on spotify once , and they said it sounded like shit, but live everyone was vibing to the music, even the guys who said it sounded like shit, and now they even listen to it on the regular.
Black midi, battles and lightning bolt played at the festival
Studio recordings never do justice to the live performances, which is cool because music you enjoy as a recording is gonna be 100 times better when heard live.
Fairly new to dnb, been listening since 09
This man makes you forget that it's just drums, no other instruments, no melody, no chords, just drums, yet it's the complete package.
This man makes it sound there are only drums. You must be stupid
@@MrSkinkarde No, really, if you listen real closely you can hear that there's more there. Underneath all the cymbals and snares there's a little whisper, and what it's saying is, "shut up"
Needs more cowbell
true but a bassline would not hurt.
Intro to the drop
If you were to have told me that all the jungle beats from the 90’s were made by this guy, then I would totally have believed it.
🤣😂👍
You're thinking of Gregory C. Coleman, drummer of the Winstons. 99% of the jungle beats from the 90s to today are his drum break from Amen, Brother.
@@pocketsk3824 true, but this guy sounds just like an actual song and not just a drum break- it that makes any sense.
This is the ideal video to keep any budding drummer humble.
I'm humbled knowing that the only part I can play is the 10 second segment that starts at 2:33
@@ejandrews3065 Chris Coleman got nothing on Jojo lol. Dig a lil deeper 🤣
Or motivating any young drummers. My dad showed me this video when I first started and it's been motivating me ever since.
@@bradlloyd6261 Chris Coleman is a legend. "Got nothin" dumbest comment ever.
Programming on daw with samples and quantization has quite a different feel to it than a musician who knows their instrument inside out, and create sounds no VST can.
I think one of the most interesting phenomena that have come out of electronic music is how its concepts have been adapted by musicians playing "real" instruments. Like how bass players have started creating a tone that sounds more and more like a synth bass. I love that music today is a blend of electronic and not electronic, that the line gets blurred.
Or how the Amen break from The Winstons - Amen Brother 1969 became the most sampled and sequenced drum break in history
@@Noniksleft Yes. A veritable merry-go-round of the real imitating the fake imitating the real. Its nice to see electronic beats affecting the influences of drummers more and more because I remember back in the 90's it was a rare thing. And in regards to Amen Brother - thankyou Gary Coleman!
Agreed. Its nice to see younger generations influenced by EDM and older electronic music and use that as a template to make interesting sounds with their instruments - even without effects to interesting results. Bands like GoGo Penguin and Esbjorn Svensson Trio come to mind.
All those people out there worrying that we've plateaued as a species, or that people will be replaced by machines, meanwhile there's übermenschen like this dude that push the boundaries and transcend the narrow bands of ability to which we confine ourselves.
Was thinking exactly the same!
Aphex Twin...
Sounds like a soundtrack of an insane chase scene
Only many times these scenes feature computer accelerated drum loops, and this is his actual playing.
Which is actually an interesting opening to hear about his he developed this technique.
Yeah its powerpuff girls dude
GTA 2 intro cutscene
These kind of comments are so boring
And it works with just the drums. No need for any other instrument.
Being an acoustic drummer and realizing you can play DnB without a drum machine is pretty amazing
if i didn’t see the video i wouldn’t believe this isn’t a drum machine
the style is perfect
"you" can... Well, I definitely can't!
@@AntonAdelson ofc playing as well as jojo isnt easy but if you master the sticks rebound its quite easy to get some jungle style stuff flowing, it was the first style of drumming i learned because i loved jungle sm
@@AntonAdelson Just start with Pendulum 😀
If you’re a drummer you can tell it’s an actual drummer because he sticks to the backbeat more than programmed drums tend to
Love it how he's pitched up the bass and snares to mimic a sped up sample in an old school sampler. Always wondered why other drummers never did this 🤔
I didn’t even think about that. That’s rad.
you could argue that this is actually a big part of the sound that a lot of modern drumming has gone
a lot of drummers do this lol - it’s just called having a small bass drum. iirc sonor even released a “jungle” kit a while back with a tiny bass drum
Live drums came before sampling
Sampling then manipulated love drums
Live drums reflecting sampled drums is the next natural step
It’s called a jazz kit lol
Super clean, fast and powerful technique, around the minute the break using tambourine was crazy.
You can tell how clean it is bc it still grooves at .5x playback speed
This is like ambidextrous drumming right here - you can't tell which hand is his stronger hand, he's mastered the speed and patterns evenly between hands and even switches his grip on the fly, this man is a god.
You mean really GOOD.
@@seeer3240 No, I mean he is GOD
@@ItsKam A dog maybe but not God.
No, It's Patrick!
Maybe it's Maybelline
love the way he did push pull with a HAND SHAKER TAMBOURINE
Very clever..
Saw that too!! that was truly ill!!
That shit was pretty dope
1:54 knocked stick from drum to floor
Moller!
I love that it's a rhythmic solo and not just raw speed. He's really showcasing tons of different rhythms.
@0:16 that fade break tho... wow! I'm a junglist DJ, and I approve of this. Well done man.
Photek would be proud!
@C A-S I don't love his new stuff but ni ten ichi ryu is one of the coldest tunes in the genre
@C A-S hugely influential tune and one of the most important from the 90s, take your hatin ass elsewhere lmao
@@lelandrb that’s a dope one. But also: The Seven Samurai / Complex 12’’ is the best jungle record of all time imo.
Drum machines use him to keep rhythm
I met Jojo on a plane once, super pleasant dude to go along with being a freakishly talented human.
Human? Are you sure?
He’s a robot
the most talented people have put in the hours to cultivate it well, and part of that journey is always knowing how little you know. a kind of humility is built into greatness.
Genius. This is what hours on hours of practice and experimentation gets you. I have to keep going!! Jojo is an amazing inspiration.
Saw a video in which Jojo Mayer said that he hasn't practiced (rudiments, specific regiments, etc.) in over 20 years. He simply plays. Looks for new sounds and plays as though he's playing to music.
WhiteyPlaysMighty Yeah you can totally feel that he's just letting music flow out of him. It's organic because it's just his natural expression I think.
You & Me both.
darren knight you have to. Absolutely. You really won’t get that good practice everyday in a room by yourself. That’s the reality.
Yep. Its kinda silly if you ask me!
By far my favorite style of drumming
I always enjoy joking about how every drummer should learn to play Aphex Twin - Flim. However they want to...
That hihat work is flawless. Sounds so good. Brings joy to me like no other. Technical but musical. Other great drummers loose me when they get too technical with solos (my problem). Jojo is all over the place but I never get lost. Am I making sense?
What an absolutely mind-bending, technically nigh-impossible and musically beautiful thing this is... Jojo is THE man.
Technically brilliant, but also has great feel.
The edits help
The cymbal catch at 1:00 and the beat he launches into at 2:10 are some of the craziest things I've seen.
thsnks for moving the forucs to that ! would have missed it
been listening to D&B for like 25 yrs now and I didnt think this was possible on actual drums LOLOL
Should check out Adam betts playing live with Goldie 👌
The groups of 4 with his left hand just after 1:30 are INSANE!!
Yeah, that’s way too clean
His one handed rolls on Testagrim by Nerve are insanely good
Controlled rolls
One hand drum rolls......Monster!
Kyle Palmer Finger precision
@@levig-man4103 , there's video's of Buddy peeling the coating off of the drum head using "finger precision", The Master...
Kyle Palmer amazing haha
One of the best drummers around....
That is the best “left hand” I have ever seen, rivals Rich, a true rhythm drummer.
why is left hand in quotes im shaking and crying what does this mean
@@iambeepbop2452 shaking and crying....wth is wrong with you..See a doctor as soon as it is possible.
@@iambeepbop2452 brofist 👊
That level of stick control and transparency is absolutely bonkers.
It would be wonderful to see a much longer series on Mr Mayer's amazing talent and how he developed such independence of hands and feet.
Shit I can't even go this fast with a midi drum sampler
crazyd3uces hahahahhah
Lots of live bands play this style. A lot of the originators did live sets back in the day... I don't know why it is so rare to see this style live but it has always been done live by some bands. Roni Size with Reprazent did two hour-and-a-half long sets of this style of music when I saw them live back in the 1990s. That drummer and the drummer from Reverend Horton Heat (also 2 long sets of fast music) sure got a work out during their sets.
Someone, please collect a skin cell off of the snare head so I can clone him.
That 2:30 switch from BAWOROAAJHFLSLAAW to chill mode 2000 is SO SMOOTH!
Seen him both with his solo band and supporting a jazz act. Top tier versatility
This is absolutely my favourite style of drumming. Love it. Love dnb and jungle. Love the amen break. Shuffle and ghosts. Beast mode Jojo!
0:48 Even Hitler came to watch him (left top corner)
haha
“Mein god, Hans get ze Kamera”
"Not quite mein tempo"
Hahahaha, yes it is Adolf!
LOL
This clip is the answer for two questions:
1. Why should I practice traditional grip?
2. Why should I practice rudiments?
Question 2 for sure.
How's practice going?
@@KONAMAN100 they’re both dead
@@yourmomtwice lol. U have no clue.
His playing makes me want to rob a casino with brad Pitt and don cheadle. Awesome stuff
christian halteman 🤣🤣 nice one
Nice 😆😆😆
🧐🤐
JUMPIN baby
Forget about it lol
The bit that starts at 1:12 is mind blowing
I keep coming back and it’s thrilling to watch every time
If Aphex Twin ever needs a live drummer...
Jojo's so good that at 0:27 he time travels
Space-time apparently needs to spend more time practicing to Jojo Mayer! It got a bit off there. 😅
Lol
No perceptible gap in tempo or dynamics... That's insane
I came back to like this comment 😂
KING CRIMSON NO NORUYOKU DAAAAAA!
I love it when Breakbeat or D&B is played by a real drummer. Great vid!
Not a lot drumming sessions can stund alone as music. This drumming can. Absolutely amazing!
Amazing
Note the excursion into UK Garage at 2:46
Flawless
Not until you pointed it out. Thanks
Yep, I can play this....but only the 10 second part that starts at 2:33 LOL Man, he is killing it. Kid in background looks like Corey Feldman circa 1990.
Very nice improvisational use of the available gear at 4:11 That's badass.
Yeah whe I did that thing with the cymbal on the drum as a kid I was called a rtard
Wow. The amount of different Jungle and D n B loops he did in 5 mins. Crazy and amazing all at the same time. 😜
I am so fortunate that I got to see Jojo perform in Chicago. He is a truly innovative human being.
Amazing!
The enthusiasm of the crowd is tangible...
I would bet they are probably fatigued by all the music and noise around them. I visited once a music convention and you get so much overflow of your senses for hours that you simply have not the energy to be excited anymore
Wow this is outrageous. Spot on beats, has it tuned to perfection.
Almost unbelievable... This is the kind of thing that ignites my passion for music
No words.These are the perfect beats,and rhythms that went through your mind on real LSD 25 when crossing a long bridge with yellow,white,black,and silver colors all moving,and keeping perfect time, rhythm,and precise musical composition..This can also be heard in many of Frank Zappa's song's,on Over Night Sensations.Percussion is always filled with unmolested primal fulfillment , which is the desire of all mankind,and earthly need.Just an opinion of a bar room(dummer) drummer. The man is an automatically inspiration to any,and all drummers. ☮️🙏🎼🥁🎼.
😮
Phillip Chipley lsd fucks with your timing a little but it brings you deep into the zone
One of the best drummers on the planet!👍
This truly sounds amazing it sounds like what goes on in my head
Kid in the back taking notes, being inspired. Core memories man. Genius playing
I like jungle beats, but they are WAAAAY better with a person playing them. Excellent!
0:35 Pretty sure that's Jojos favorite groove, he loves that offbeat bell pattern lol 👍
Donny Baker it’s super common in drum n bass. Sick rhythm
It's usually called an "Amen". A fast Jazz broken beat rhythm with lots of cymbals.
@@CsykKrit cymbals*
*this guy needs to tour with Aphex Twin!* his intelligent dance music is the absolute best match for this caliber of drumming. it's like he's got ESP plugged straight into Richard D James' mixing board! *
I wouldn't try to dance to Aphex Twin. You might dislocate a hip or something.
“Intelligent dance music” sounds like a term I’d come up with when I was 13 and thought monstercat was the hottest shit around
This. Is. So. Sick. Cannot understand how the people could stand still… simply awesome
paralyze spell by the wiz -jo XD
Oh I love the rawness and humanity in this.
Jojo: the best of the best!!! Perfection!!! 👌👌😉🇮🇹
This is a style of drumming that’s normally programmed on computers and this dude is playing it live on a real drum set… God-tier.
2:24 there's something almost terrifying about the build up and drop that happens around here. Awesome
THe beauty of live music, no matter what the genre, people have a tendency to pause when they encounter genuine talent
Legendary. Metronomes set on him not the opposite.
The creativity of this man , the precision, the techniques and everything, is on another planet
jojo mayor: *exists*
computers: “am I a joke to you?”
dudes just on another level
Who needs digital when we have JoJo?
I listen to drum and bass every day and have done for the past 12 years.
I recommend this video.
Every time I see this guy I learn something new is possible on drums.
That is absolutely insane. Crowd comprehension zero. Mad props to this guy.
Jo Jo is an amazing drummer, buy his DVD if you can.
DVD's... plural! ;) One for hand technique and one for foot technique. It's the encyclopedia for drumming technique!
Technical master. One of my favorite drummers playing one of my favorite genres. He makes it look so easy. Keep in mind all the samples dj's and producers use to make breakbeat/dnb were originally cuts of real drummers, so he's not mimicking a computer, he's reclaiming drumming from computers.
Unreal flow and time, impeccable drumming right there wow!
Kept nodding my head to his beats, what a machine 💪
It's nice to still see an occasional drummer who actually knows how to hold his sticks properly and who knows match grip is and always will be a secondary grip, and not the prime grip.
Shut up youre old
@@joeydubois lol
How can those people in the back show no emotion? This man is gifted!
His drumming put them in a trance
Pied piper
They're just totally entranced
Siiiiiiick. Memories of those sweaty dnb and jungle rooms. The tiny ones. The house Kats always had main stage.. but we... WE preferred to sweat it away in the side stages
djfreake - couldn’t have said it better. jungle rooms were the dungeons for drum heads.
Some of the best stick control I have ever seen.
Whilst seconding everyone else who’s acknowledging how amazing this is, something that interests me is how rhythmically engaged his whole body is, and in different ways with different rhythms or modes of playing. Most people nod their head: quite often his head is stationary but he’s nodding everything else…
You should watch his Ted talk about drumming
The power puff girls intro music has a similar feel to this. Dude is a beast on the kit
Sean M. BRO, I was thinking the same thing. Similar drum sounds too.
Pretty sure it's just the Amen break
It's a sample from a James Brown song I just can't remember which one..(edit, Funky drummer)
@@Icneumone7 It's Amen Brother by the Winstons.
@@Artificer2113 I beg to disagree. The breaks are very similar but the one used in Powerpuff girls theme is a reproduction of Clyde Stubblefield break firstly used in James Brown- Funky drummer by a Scottish band called Bis. Common misconception. I've heard people attributing Amen brother to the origins of a lot of hip hop songs as well when the break commonly used in hip hop is from the song 'A new day' from Skull snaps.
Whoa. Things gets REAL at about the 2:12 mark
At 2:19 the guy behind jojo is like "ok, that's too much, i quit" 😂
Me too.
That's when the world quit
Wow so amazing. How blessed is this man as well as having the discipline to learn all this. Talent plus discipline
Used to see him weekly at the New Music Cafe when he played with Nerve. Was an amazing time!
I'm into metal but this guy is awesome
Original by Winston Brothers - Amen Brother.
wow!amazing.awesome.impressive.what else can i say?!
Even with no other sounds this is like a full song, love it
Fantastically unique 👂
1:27 yo this roll with the tamb is SICK
This is literally insane.
The 2 different flavor snares adds a whole new dimension. Love it.
Incredible stick control & whipping stroke 🥁🤘🏼
I keep looking for an extra arm at around 02:13 into the video, but I didn't see one pop out. He's still playing with just two. Unbelievable...Love the modified Bossa Nova beat he mixed in there whenever he needed to Give his forearms a quick break. 😄👍
I think the break is for the audience. Drummers on this level can go for a long time cranking beats ceaselessly. Look at death and black metal bands, 60min of intense drumming at least. Machines the people are.
You hate him..because he is too good... you realize how many lives it takes to be this good, then.. you practice...
I only hate the way he positions his snare. It's fucking backwards lol. And I really don't understand why anyone would do that.
Not that good...may be In your mind...yes. However...You don't speak for me
@Pickle but it's my comment, I don't see how it's affecting you
Wait... How many lives DO you need to take to be this good? I knew I was missing something...
I'm 66, got a drum set February. I watch and listen to him And say, "Ok,
I'm worried that he might struggle with In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins? Seriously, he's playing at the stellar level of a gifted musician. Bravo JOJO.
Playing in the air tonight while singing isn't easy
It’s such a fun beat to watch drummers play live!
Pure madness ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ big respect Mr JoJo Mayer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why does the title say house drumming? This is Jungle. DnB. Breaks.
MagnumDB 3:31 is house beats.
wtf are you talking about? the title literally says D&B JUNGLE DRUMMING. like it's in all caps like I spelled it. cmon man stop trying to start shit for no reason
@@elliott1121 the title originally said house drumming instead of D&B. you would know this if only you scrolled a bit through the comments and saw that there's at least 5 other people complaining about the same thing.
seems like you're the one "trying to start shit for no reason"
House is used by a lot of people as the general term for electronic dance music.I use Techno as the general term since that was used as a general term long before there was a specific type of cold-feeling German electronic dance music that is called Techno. To sum up: Techno and House can be used as very general terms and were used as such before they became used as more specific genres anyways.
This is Jojo.
