That kid on the drums is Yoyoka, she is considered and has proven to be one of the greatest drummers even at age 9 when she did numerous covers of rock songs knocking them out of the park.
Man, you are 100% correct about needing to foster all these different programs for kids. Athletics, music and trade programs through school allowed me to thrive as kid. Without them, I can't imagine myself having grown up to be a responsible, productive member of society. I was gifted with a learning disability. We didn't even find out I was dyslexic until I was 16 and the only areas I thrived were Art class, my music program, automotive and culinary programs until I was diagnosed and able to adapt. Stuff like this can save kids that don't have answers.
We desperately need more art and music in public schools for ALL children. I can't say it enough, music and the arts are essential to brain development. And the children learn to play instruments that they will enjoy for the rest of their lives . This video is simply amazing, what a talented group of kids 🔥. Thanks for sharing this my man
So impressive that these musicians can deliver on this level with short time for rehearsals. The original artist probably spent weeks rehearsing one song while these talents did several songs in a couple of days
Lovely reaction. Compared to the original studio version, this is *_better_* than faultless. Play this next to the studio version, to hear the subtle improvements. Yoyoka (drums) and Charlotte (guitar and vocals) have formed the band "Knockout" with Ava James and Addie Thomason. They'll be playing for Yoyoka's birthday, concert and first album, at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood 13th October. Humans have a fantastic range of abilities which need developing to reach full potential. Music seems to capture everyone. It should be in school. Practical, hands-on activities, like painting, sculpting, wood and metal work (shop) both develop skills, and also an appreciation for how the world gets created. I taught school children how to create 'smart products' using simple electronics tiny computers and '3D printing'. Some of them blossomed when they realised they could make 'smart products' for themselves. At worst, the students had their minds opened to new possibilities. AFAICT, from this side of the ocean, American schools seem to have less ambition for their students now than 50+ years ago when my American friends were growing up. Yet the types and scale of opportunities schools can provide are almost unimaginably vast compared to 50+ years ago. On this side of the ocean, schools and teachers complain about the narrow scope of Government mandated assessments. Schools can feel they need to 'teach to the test' because of 'league tables' ranking schools and determining teachers salaries. That can have the knock-on effect of removing everything "risky", "novel", or "untested" from children's experiences, which seems exactly the opposite of what childhood learning is about. This sounds a bit weird, but it's better to spend a few hours learning something potentially interesting or useful, discovering that you don't like it, and understanding why, than never having the experience (within the bounds of health and safety). Ignorance is easily 'solved', but people need to be open to learn. A wide range of experiences, challenging, or at least exercising, different parts of their mind and body help young people grow faster, and more completely into fully developed adults. Bes Wishes. ☮
Wow, a constellation of stars led by Yoyoka and Ellen in the lead, they are like thunder and lightning. They often collaborate together. The other young people are also fantastic. By the way Yoyoka is not just anyone she is already a drumming legend. Her accomplishments are countless with top level musicians in addition.
"Our society is designed to kill dreams." A truth bomb right there! Much respect sir, you are 100% correct! I'm going to steal that if you don't mind. ❤🤘🤘❤🙏
Great reaction! Yeah I have seen this video 10000 times always worth it... andI agree about school dumbing everyone down... No more Shop class, HOme Ec, fter school wood shop.... All they do is teach for the college prep.... waste of time andmoney for most... yet, they may be the most talaented carpenter or plumber if only given a chance....
They have two other videos out, one where they do a cover of Peace of Mind by Boston and I cannot remember the other new one, lol. The talent of these kids is off the charts. Ellen on bass is as good as any adult bassist I've heard. The only guy in the group, Bay, is from NYC and just recently did a show in Manhattan I believe, about 10 days ago. He is just amazing, even when his guitar is bigger than him. The Millstein sisters from San Diego are two more excellent performers. Vinya, the vocalist, hails from New Jersey, a state that has already given us so many great artists. Lastly, we have Yoyoka Soma, originally from Japan, who now lives here in the US. I have been following her for almost 8 years now, and she is hands-down the finest young drummer on the planet. She also is a driving force behind kids rock for kids. I don't know if you are a fan of jazz, but Yoyoka has been collaborating with another amazing performer, also from Japan, named Ai Furusato, who is a 12 year old pianist and composer. Ai has been playing the piano since she was 3 or 4 and has been writing her own jazz compositions since she was about 7. She recently received a full scholarship to the Berklee School in Boston has moved here with her family. She sits in regularly at jazz meccas in Boston and New York and is just amazing. Ai and Yoyoka performed "Changes", Ai's composition and it is destined to become a jazz masterpiece. I think you will enjoy it.
@@jaybee9269 It definitely was !!!! You should look back at Yoyoka's progress. She had her own YT channel at 5 years old and has down many amazing drum covers since she was that age. There is also video on her channel that show her playing the drums at 3 and 4 years old. She truly is a savant. When she was doing her covers she didn't read music and did everything by ear. She would listen to a song twice and be able to recreate it. As she got older and learned to read music, she started doing her own compositions. If you really want tl see her chops, check out "Yoyoka's 12th Birthday Sessions", where she worked with some of Japan's best session musicians and singers on covers of great rock songs by Deep Purple, Joe Satriani, Rush, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen. It's a wonder to behold. And I was wrong about the song "Changes" with Ai Furusato. It was Yoyoka who composed and arranged the song. She is SOME talent.
@@vinya.chhabra I'm only speaking the truth. You have a fantastic career ahead of you. Just follow good advice and work hard and you will be another great singer that hails from New Jersey, like Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Southside Johnny, Gloria Gaynor, Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Sarah Vaughn, just to name a few. I lived in Monmouth County for a long time myself. Just keep working hard. And you can't lose by working with Yoyoka, Ellen, Bay and the Milstein sisters. Keep the faith Vinya !
there are places like O'Keefe Music Foundation that teach kids not only to play but the technical aspect of music like lighting, sound, videography etc, and all for free. I don't know all these kid's biographies but I'm familiar with Yoyoka (the drummer) and would wager the others' parent's are like hers and musicians themselves and taught them from a very,very early age to play and sing.
@@MugnifyRTS Hysteria for the comparison, right? I would just jump into a live version because they are amazing live. Uprising. Starlight. Thank you for the videos. How about it folks... what do you want to see?
@@MugnifyRTS Same 6 kids covering Boston's Peace of Mind. If these 6 kids can stay together, in a few years they might be doing the same thing that The Warning is doing now, opening for the groups they covered in the past. Who knows, maybe in a few years these 6 kids might be opening for The Warning.
You are so right Mugnify. Music is the only fully international language. If taught correctly at the best age, most children can understand a tune and sing a song in key. They manage TV ads pre-school. Adding an instrument they are interested in just enough for them to manage a basic tune can kickstart a lifelong hobby or for some a career. And now it is rarely in a curriculum. YOYOKA, the drummer here is 14 and able to sit in with most bands of all genre and level. Ellen on bass is a few years in age behind, but every bit as capable. Both benefitted enormously from home support. Few children have that advantage. School should fill some of that gap. I learnt recorder at a very basic level at 8 but can still read music because of it. I'm no musician! 8 years old was a very long while ago.
You're def on point sir. All or most of us boomers had it all beginning with middle school. Art, sports, music, home economics, industrial arts, auto repair and body shop, mechanical and architectural drawing, and all kinds of special interest clubs. We need to get back to the basics and we need to prepare kids for life, not just teaching to the test. Thanks for your great reaction. There's one more that they did, a cover of Boston's Peace of Mind, that's also off the charts. Separately almost all of them have their own channels. Yoyoka the drummer is a 12 or 13 yr old girl from Japan, and Ellen on bass is from Las Vegas. 😎(fyi, I'm "someone")
because music is a full time job, you can't have "classes" else you will always be behind. Thats why there are music schools. In music either you make it or you go broke, so its not an option for junior high. There's tons of talented teens that never make it and you have to have other skills
That bassist and drummer are world famous bro.
That kid on the drums is Yoyoka, she is considered and has proven to be one of the greatest drummers even at age 9 when she did numerous covers of rock songs knocking them out of the park.
The bassist Ellen ,Ellen plays bass ,does a cover of this song on her channel .Definitely worth watching .
Vocalist is Vinya Chhabra, age 13. Yes, she is an awesone lead singer.
Thank you!

Checkout the drummer Yoyoka playing Good Times Bad Times when she was 8 and entered the video in "Hit Like A Girl" -- it made her famous
