Jojo doesn't so much play the drums as he does dance them, if that makes sense. He's unmistakable, and inimitable. So inspiring to watch and listen to.
Amazing as always. Loved the little flub around 2:00 when his stick gets caught on a drum rim. Good to see even the world's best makes mistakes. We've all been there.
Yea I caught that too and was fixin’ to comment on it when I saw 👀 your comment. 🥁. It shows what to do … just keep going. Everyone makes mistakes… he’s amazing 🤩.
Yes, but the ability to recover is what makes a pro. I remember seeing Chad Smith break a stick in concert; in one motion, he threw it into the crowd, picked up a new one, and never missed a beat.
Had to tape a piece of foam in that spot on my tom because I am prone to doing the same thing and don't want to dent or scratch my shell makes me feel better seeing one of my favorites make the same mistake I have countless times
Love it .... and his astonishment wna dthe happy smile after when he stuck the stick under that tom rim. Jojo seems to like mistakes as it shows him that he´s human and not a machine.
Absolutely incredible. Funny how some folks are commenting on a “mistake” 😂. If you’re worried about making a mistake you can’t really let go. Took a lesson from JoJo in the early 90s and the cat is a true artist. Pros don’t skip a beat
I was looking for something recent he had done. This did not disappoint. Jojo has still got it, and if possible even got better! Such a wicked drummer.
Jojo is the real deal! I saw him play with the RCM big band a few years ago, and he lifted and united them and they played out of their skins - he was intensely listening to them all and responding to what they were doing. An actual proper musician as well as a technical genius.
Amazing as always. My biggest fear while playing is dropping a stick or accidentally jamming it into a tom rim. It's reassuring to see, that even those with the best technique can make mistakes, but it's all about how you persevere through the rest of the song/solo.
It's not about the mistake it's about how awesome that recovery was and it didn't get up in his head when he was doing the back and forth floor Tom kick drum he went to switch that up a little and got the f*** away from it but all in all Man it's amazing that you can be that good and still be humbled at times. He could have dropped both sticks and started crying and I still would have been like nah you're good you got me. Lol Love his sound! All in all they sound like drums but they got the perfect boom crack warmth and sing that I look for especially in the jazz department. It's so funny Bonham basically took a jazz drum open as in not muting tuning concept and applied that two huge oversized drums and then add his swing jazz influence and power and well you know what you get. I was listening to outtakes of them just kind of playing in a room it sounds so much like rooms I've been in. It's amazing just how they would get on a cool riff or a groove and just hang on it for a long time taking chances over playing but it was truly amazing and one thing they did is they constantly recorded and I implored people I've played with over and over we have to constantly record when we're writing. Well kids nowadays you don't have to deal with other people. Lol
Everytime the saxophonist smiles it brings me joy.
Same
She's kina cute tho
Not only technically insane, but groovin & interesting to listen to..definitely one of the greatest to ever do it.
Jojo has really embraced big band drumming. And we're all better for it.
YOOO!!! THE SINGLE BASS PEDAL DOUBLES!!! DAMN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥THAT FOOT TECHNIQUE at the end😱
Not gonna lie. One of the most entertaining, musical, not cliche drum solos i've seen. Bravo

I can do this easily,,,,,, more than hit the freakin drum, lol.

Not a mistake , part of the instrument .
Yes, but the ability to recover is what makes a pro. I remember seeing Chad Smith break a stick in concert; in one motion, he threw it into the crowd, picked up a new one, and never missed a beat.

What great memories for those kids. And it’s great to see the evolution of Jojo’s solos throughout the years
Watching the band watch him was the lesson
Yeah, the smirks of disbelief and awe from the kids were awesome 😎
That's a vintage sound. So cool.

Brilliant. JoJo Mayer is a monster.
Check out Vinnie colauita 👍
Yep And the older he gets, The better he gets.
@@terryreknaw6152 well yeah Vinnie is better, he’s one of the goats
Genius...im selling my kit!!!😂
@@terryreknaw6152 Jojo always gonna be favoured by me. And its not even close. His style and technique combinde are insane.
No other drummer produces such irresistible and delicious grooves within a solo. I clicked and could not turn away
Oh stop. No other.. vinnie, weckl.. stop being ignorant
@@morbidmanmusicsteve gadd is the king of groove
The intentional space he creates, and not just playing blazing fast rudiments across the kit........sets him a part as a drummer AND a musician.
Thank you for showing bass pedal footage too!!
The faces 😮 from the time signatures and playing 😅 jojo is a beast and that's not saying enough. ❤

The kids in the background fully loving it! This is ace!
He is a real Drummer. Gene Krupa, Ginger Baker, Ringo Starr, and Jo Jo Mayer are my favorites 😁👏🏻👍🇦🇷
ginger is a hack and should not be on that liat
I feel the vapers with every beat. The drum solo is a fantasy come true. ☮️♥️🙌🏾🤯
Super Great Solo!!! Great Style and Sound!! Technique at very high level.....
Insane play while keeping it musicaly
I hate solos…except this one…so musical, so inventive….surprising and exciting! 🙌🙌🙌
Amazing. The true talent is continuing through the flub like nothing. Mental fortitude.
Talent is not having to train to avoid such a common mistake. He doesnt have that or the skill to avoid jamming a stick on an easy roll.
Loved the heel in the batter head trick! JoJo is a ton of fun to watch!
Respect. Fantastic accompanist, brilliant solo work. Riveting.
Very creative solo in a big band context. Not what you would expect. Jojo Mayer is amazing.
The Jojo can perform any style of music-
Great solo n great drummer. And those Sonor drums sound so lively and round!
This solo was a breath of fresh air from the standard "just watch me play rudiments really fast" solos that most drummer do
Jojo going for it . the ideas . on the edge , where the best stuff happens. i respect and love that.
Might be the best Jojo solo ive ever heard. Incredible.
I mean all of his solos live are insane.
Thank you so much for posting this
Super stud extraordinaire. All hail. We are not worthy.
Absolutely brilliant
Too damn cool. Much respect.
Mr. Jojo Mayer is a true master of his art.

His footwork is insane

20 years ago jojo got me to pick up sticks and I’ve been chasing him everyday since.
The space that this guy used was great
That Girl in the background is feeling it!
Jojo is fantastic
Glad to see he's still busy !
Absolutely insane!

How is it that kids nowadays dont have to play with others?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The fade out kick drum is cool as fuck
🥇
Glad he's not losing it as he gets older
Yet. We all,do.
Yes
Reminds me of the time I knocked a drum kit of the back of a lorry
Off topic...but that dark haired girl in the background is soooo beautiful.
💪💪💪💪
😮😮😮❤❤
Sweet like sugar... 🎉
I know you can do much better, but I admire how you go out on a limb to be creative. 💕
Imagine this guy in a thrash or prog metal band. Dang. Heal-toe double bass parts and all that
Jojo is the closest we have seen to Buddy Rich in terms of feel
"We". No.
this man makes me remember Mr Stive Gadd they're all great and Dave weckl and Billy Cobham the Boss،،..
👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
That's the most I've ever seen him move
No sólo es técnica para hacer un buen solo hay que tener buen sentido musical👐
Γεια σου ρε μεγάλε. Γεια σου ρε ΜΕΓΑΛΕ!!!
He's an assassin. He's got so much technique, it's nasty.
A Typical Jojo Mayer Day..🤌
