Two months before this video was released she did a drum lesson video on her channel of that kick pattern. Not only plays it like a master, can teach like a Sensei. She slaps the drumsticks down, so she can use her little hands to explain how it works...LOL Self taught initially, since 1.5 y.o. Been playing live on stage since 4. Became a full fledged member of her family band at 5. A true prodigy as you basically have said. Listens to a song twice then just bangs it our flawlessly. More complex songs take 5-6 listens. Will learn the song as it was originally played. And then usually will add "The YOYOKA Effect" making it better than the original.
Not many reactors have featured both Tina S and Yoyoka - usually one or the other. Great to see someone who knows talent and appreciates it, as they are prodigies from a young age and brilliant players. I would love to see them collaborate as Yoyoka has done with other great musicians but given Tina's absence for years now, that's not likely to happen. Anyway, more power to you and please continue...
Yoyoka is a special talent. She is more into being like an Eddie van Halen right now. No, I do not mean that she is copying him, but more like when van Halen was putting his band together in the early 70s. Playing with different people, different talent levels and skillsets. She just keeps getting better and better. And Tina S, th-cam.com/video/EfFsrb01tdY/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the world of Yoyoka. She is that good. There are so many covers, improvs and originals to "cover". Where would I lead someone? Maybe the Deep Purple "Burn" cover: th-cam.com/video/uhzX9QbH3js/w-d-xo.html Followed by Ian Paice's review of his song: th-cam.com/video/0RyJKiollcA/w-d-xo.html And maybe her recent self-cover of her original song, "Sparkling": th-cam.com/video/5JxJi8ohvwI/w-d-xo.html
@@SG-dg6oi her family is nothing but musicians, her brother included and the production side and developing a song and producing it. Unbelievable talent all the way around they should start their own label…..
BTW, Yoyoka is self taught since about 1.5 years old. She began playing live gigs at age 4, and now, at age 12, she could be the drummer for any rock band, both present and past, with not only equal skills to the original drummer, but an improvement in most cases.
@@SG-dg6oi She is self taught. She would listen to her parents on guitar or bass and start drumming along with them. She said she doesn't remember how she began drumming, but her parents said she is self taught and was drumming before she could talk.
@@davewave2760 oh bologna! Typical American reply.... Americans believe that everything is is inborn.... Both of her parents are musicians. You telling me they didn't show her any basic beats? Buy her the equipment? She has taken lessons videos of her taking lessons
@@SG-dg6oi If you are referring to her Yoyoka Takes Drum Lessons In English videos with Emilio, those lessons were focused mostly about English, not drumming, and she was already a very established drummer at that point. To my knowledge, neither of her parents play drums. There are many drummers who have put in more practice and taken drum lessons who are not even in her league.
Great reaction man, Yoyoka is very talented at 8 yrs old, even more so now at 12 yrs. She has a lot of experience playing with others - she shocked Ellen when she told her she had already played in a bar about 150 times (she was 9 yrs old at the time) LOL Ellen then told her she would be playing at the Whiskey A Go Go bar. Here is the video for your interest: th-cam.com/video/agW6LpJhh60/w-d-xo.html
Haha, nice! Now THERE'S a reasonable assumption: "She's been taking lessons since she was two" - that would be..ahh..correct, technically.. Now have a guess, who was teaching her..? ..That would be..none other than..YOYOKA..!! Yep, as if it wasn't too much already, she was indeed self-taught - and largely still is. Savant level, music all the way down - there's even a saying: "Yoyoka IS music". She has an army of supporters BTW, they'll probably be over shortly..
Are you serious.... I go into all my reactions blind and this was the 1st time ever hearing this genius l.. Sheeesssh self taught EVEN MORE MIND BLOWN!
Responding to @John Renton. Yoyoka hasn't played with the amazing Tina S. That'd be Epic. Yoyoka has played with Li-sa-X,: _Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie / Coverd by Li-sa X & Yoyoka_ th-cam.com/video/ryJr2-xENvA/w-d-xo.html Remote. Li-sa X 15yo, Yoyoka 10yo _Joe Satriani - Satch boogie / YOYOKA's 12th Birthday_ th-cam.com/video/1U846U6nDuk/w-d-xo.html 'live' in studio. Li-sa X 16yo, Yoyoka 11yo They are both single, continuous audio with no edits, played as if live. Not Tina S, but very good. Best Wishes. ☮
@@Shakes-P Thank You for reacting. 👏 Yoyoka is trying to move to the USA. When she's visited, she's felt much freer playing there. So, your reaction might help her. She is a good person. She's played gigs for charity and schools. For example, for 'David Z Foundation': _Over the Mountain - Ozzy Osbourne (Cover) / Yoyoka 10yo with FRIENDS_ th-cam.com/video/Wf3q0LP_CJw/w-d-xo.html Best Wishes.
By this point she had already been gigging for a few years. If you want your mind blown, watch this live performance with a band, in a club when she was only 7: th-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/w-d-xo.html 🤯
That really was great, thanks, though I'm not sure why you just do covers of Zeppelin but don't react to the actual band. 2007 concert at the O2 arena was great, but how about what they produced as a band when they were still together? Nobody like them, that's for sure.
@@Shakes-P Yes, it was a great reunion concert but it was 27+ years after the band broke up due to Bonham's (drummer) death. I'm just suggesting that you react to what Zeppelin produced during the years they were together (1968-1980) - during their prime. Reactions to studio versions rarely get blocked and although I love to watch them perform live, doing only live versions doesn't give one the opportunity to hear Page's genius as a producer since much of what he did in the studio couldn't be easily replicated live. Something else about their studio cuts is there was no auto tune or computer-generated anything back then. What we heard is exactly what they sounded like, and it was incredible. Edit: As a testament to just how great they were, 20 million requests for tickets for the reunion concert in 2007 were made. Broke the world record. 20 million people wanted to see them perform almost 30 years after they disbanded. That's saying something. Edit 2: Not all videos of their live performances get blocked. I just watched a series of reactions to their 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert and none of those got blocked.

Drummer World named her in the top 500 drummers of ALL time. Check out her collaborations she did for her 12th birthday celebration.
Yoyoka always made my day ❤.
Best antidepressant pill on earth.

Love your enthusiasm reacting Yoyoka. She is definitely super talented and very cute!
Holy shit!!! Bloody awesome, what talent
the hammers coming down hard from here on in, fella she's the dam best.
you are so darn right mt

Thank you.
I LOVE Yoyoka!
She is self taught from age 2.
Let that sink in.
She's an absolute phenom.
NOT self taught... BOTH her PARENTS are musicians!

Literally crushing the egos of pro drummers before she even understands how good she is.
You gotta check other her works.
Your jaw will be dropped into other side of this planet.
She's 12 now and one of the best drummer's in the world.
If you think she was good at 8, check her out at 9. Completely pro level at 9.
Oh I can't wait!
More to come!
we need, yokaka!

That’s sick bro especially from a kid my sons age lol.
I know right,
I'm looking at my 5 year old thinking he need to step shit up a little 🤣😂🤣 Jking
Bruh just wait until you see her cover of Achilles Last Stand
I hope you've kept up with her. She's 14 now and is playing with multiple types of people/music/genres.
Wait til you hear her triplets near the end of the song!
Double peddles. OMG,,,
Top 500?..She's easily in the top 10 of ALL time..

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Robert Plant has a reaction to this video,, lots of big smiles
Have a look at her cover of Burn by Deep Purple. The older version where she wears yellow.
If such a drum cover is played to the original song, are the original drums (by John Bonham) removed from the song beforehand?
john bonham plays like a little girl
Do Yoyoka covering Stone Cold Crazy by Queen
No your kids won't be able to do this., she was doing double kicks while in her mothers womb.

Thats actually not true, I actually posted yesterday Kashmir from the O2, but they are also very heavily copyrighted and kost get blocked!

If you look she has double pedals, just not needed for this song.
