This is one of my favorite videos by Yoyoka. Right up there with her covers of "Burn" and "Onyx". I love the joy she shows in playing; just genuinely having fun. And her timing and accuracy is impeccable.
Yoyoka: it is, power, precision, rhythm and the pleasure of playing a beautiful piece of music with pleasure and a smile, it fills me with joy every time, thank you very much. She is really out of the ordinary, it's unbelievable.

More difficult songs take 4-5 listens. She does not read music. All songs, except music videos, are one-shot takes. I hope you react to one or two. She lights up the day for me, every time. And I like your reaction!
Self taught. Started playing at 1.5 yo. Been playing live on stage since 4 y.o. Joined her family band as a full fledged member at age 5. She actually has a video on her channel teaching that swivel kick technique when she was 8. LOL A true prodigy!
Great reaction and she's just turned 12 this past Oct. If you're interested in her progress, check out her cover of Deep Purple's Burn when she was still 11) or watch Ian's reaction to her performance on his channel.
Yoyoka has continued to get better and better. For fun, watch Yoyoka's lesson on the headless triplet without downbeat: th-cam.com/video/B5EUmV9Jz-E/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction. Yoyoka was amazing at 8, but her drumming has improved so much since then. She's genuinely playing at a pro level. Her recent session with a hand-picked band is really good. And if you haven't seen it, her performance of Burn by Deep Purple is awesome, as is Iain Paice's reaction to it!
Now check out Yoyoka’s cover of Deep Purple’s “Burn” at age 11… several notches higher on degree of difficulty… and after, Purple’s Ian Paice’s reaction to it.
Good reaction Jason. Did you spot her almost dropping her drum stick? A small request: please let Yoyoka's drum cover videos run to 'screen darkness'. She always stick-waves at the end, and fans 😇 like to wave back 👋. She sometimes puts her 'bloopers' on the end too, which are worth watching. For example watch 'until darkness' _'Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Live 1972) / ..._ ' (6m9s) th-cam.com/video/1W6yPunLDkU/w-d-xo.html for her reaction to her own 'blooper'. 😲 You can pretty much pick any Yoyoka video and it'll be good. *Yoyoka does not upload duds.* She records in one continuous shot. She doesn't use lots of cuts to disguise multiple takes. What you see is what you'd get live. She's been playing live with her family band since she was 4yo. She has played with internationally recognised musicians to audiences of tens of thousands. Read the Description in any recent drum cover video for more, eg: _Radiohead - '15 Step'_ [11yo] th-cam.com/video/oxdd6yOKzx0/w-d-xo.html her 8yo brother is back of shot. (Commenters said she was in quarantine accommodation, and so without her usual Perl kit.) She has been making her drum teaching videos since she was 6yo. Few have English subtitles, and no song, so maybe not ideal for a reaction. As people have commented, she was inducted into Drummerworld's Top 500 drummers earlier in 2021, at 11yo, the youngest so far: www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Yoyoka_Soma.html That page has videos which Yoyoka, her family and manager feel are good examples of her work. Even there she includes her 'bloopers', for example _The WHO 'Gettin In Tune'_ [11yo] (5m16s) www.drummerworld.com/Videos/yoyokagettingintune.html (NB: still a YT video) People often forget to mention there are only 16 females on that Top 500 list www.drummerworld.com/The_Ladies.html so she's a member of a very rarefied group. I always suggest people first have a look at videos where she's clearly having fun, such as this 'Good Times Bad Times' video you watched. Others where she's having fun, include _Stray Cats - 'Rock This Town' ..._ [8yo] (2m25s) th-cam.com/video/Q8X-JAJ7CBw/w-d-xo.html Wait for the leap 😀. Stray Cats played Rockabilly, the drummer played standing up. _Anderson .Paak - 'Put Me Thru'_ [9yo] (3m4s) th-cam.com/video/MJemsoga8gc/w-d-xo.html @Chris Egbert, is 'on the nail' suggesting you react to her playing live at a gig at 7yo: _'Onyx' --Senri Kawaguchi ..._ (3m54s) th-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/w-d-xo.html 'Onyx' was composed by Senri Kawaguchi, who was the previous youngest entrant to Drummerworld's Top 500. Byron Butterfield's list is very good, covering some of her standout, more difficult, covers and Ian Paice's reaction. I'll add a few more to give you even more choices: _The Police - 'Murder By Numbers'_ [9yo] (3m40s) th-cam.com/video/XdeiMkCpSn8/w-d-xo.html _Rush - 'YYZ'_ (4m37s) th-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/w-d-xo.html I'll add a few where she audibly improves on the original while still 'burying it': _Cream - 'Sunshine Of Your Love'_ [11yo] (4m36s) th-cam.com/video/pEBpq0K7Gog/w-d-xo.html Ginger Baker composed a great drum part on toms, however Yoyoka's is more 'bouncy', hence more in keeping with the 'Sunshine Of Your Love'. _Deep Purple - 'Mistreated'_ [11yo] (8m7s) th-cam.com/video/ghINDxGLcaY/w-d-xo.html This is from her '12th Birthday session'. She invited famous Japanese musicians to record more than 10 songs in a studio, in one day. The videos are 'live'. You can hear her signature 'ghost notes' which aren't on the studio recordings (or the live versions I've listened too). Yoyoka had collaborated with Ian Paice before this recording.
Yoyoka and Junna are both incredible young drummers, as is Sina. And Haruna of Lovebites just had a Birthday two days ago, not sure how old she is. Now for some unusual drum solo requests, first the Godmother Of Drumming Dorothea Taylor "Down With The Sickness" and the most unique drum solo you will ever do "Home Free Drum Solo" by Adam Rupp and finally The Wagakki band "DrumxWadaiko Battle". Enjoy these mind blowing performances.
This was the first time I saw her, the Plant reaction. She just attacks this. Great sense of timing. And yeah, Sina is terrific, especially on Roundabout.
Yoyoka is unreal, should check out her Stray Cats cover. Another drummer you might want to check out is Tarn Softwhip - here is her doing Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare Drum Cover at: th-cam.com/video/TJuWszB51Sc/w-d-xo.html

Great reaction sir! All her covers are awesome. But if you want to see her most awesome work, check out this improv jam session she did recently. 10 Min Vid, 3 songs. I like 1st and last best. First one she leads and guitarist follows, last one Guitarist leads and she follows. Both will blow you away! First time these two have played together and it was unrehearsed. Would make a great reaction video. The guitarist is as good as she is. "Yoyoka × Ryunosuke Yamagishi / Jam Session" th-cam.com/video/XBWizeA5yt8/w-d-xo.html
Yoyoka is an astounding prodigy, no doubt. And you asked to get your mind blown? Check out Senri Kawaguchi age 15 and Kanade Sato age 9 playing the Brecker Brothers Some Skunk Funk. You won't believe it. th-cam.com/video/4sf3DgS3LEA/w-d-xo.html (you can skip the first 50 seconds, it's just the MC talking).
What you are watching is a prodigy!! No lessons... does not read music... self taught. She just turned 12 have you seen who she has played with???? Might want to check out Nandi Bullshell
Watched your junna cover. This drummer is also awesome! Check out Band Maid! Their drummer Akane Hirose (aka The Gorilla) is also incredible! I would recommend Freedom or Domination live. As a guitar player she is my favorite kind of drummer. More Ringo. Less Pert. On time and in the pocket! Band Maid! Best rock and roll band on the planet! Just my opinion!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
At age 11 voted top 500 drummers all time. Shes a phenomenal talent.
You stopped watching at precisely the wrong time. The laughter and the joy on her face really is the icing on the cake.
I did spot this after I uploaded and she was super happy!

I have so much confidence in 💚YOYOKA💚 that I auto liked this reaction.🥁🔥🎌
All of her drum covers are one take.
Ohhhhhhh😣 you cut her video off before her stick wave

Watch her deep purple speed king cover. She was 10 I believe. Unbelievable
Have a look at her cover of Deep Purple’s song Burn; solo cover version. Ian Paice said about it that she nailed it.
Great reaction and she's just turned 12 this past Oct. If you're interested in her progress, check out her cover of Deep Purple's Burn when she was still 11) or watch Ian's reaction to her performance on his channel.
Not as good as Caleb's Dream Theater cover.

She's the youngest person in history to be endorsed by a major company for a reason.
She's flat out bad ass.
New sub here!
I love Yoyoka!
"Put Me Thru" , "YYZ", any of her videos are good!
Wow
Yoyoka is the best.
More Yoyoka 🔥🦊🔥
Onyx
A jazz fusion number
At a live gig
At 7 freaking years old
Yoyoka Soma
she's even better now at 12
Check out all her videos. Every one of them is mindblowing.
Yoyoka is one of a kind 😛🎶🗽

How can an 8 year old be so into Led Zeppelin and other great bands. I can't get my head around it.
In the immortal words of John McClane... "Welcome to the party, pal!"
You missed the best part at the ends when she giggles like the little girl she is.
Her triplets are off the chain. Robert Plant did a reaction to this vid. He was impressed, to say the least.
You stopped it before the cutest part!!!! Geeze!!!!

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with their song Gods & Gold
WOW....! Where is the SUPERB BUTTON...like button is useless !
What you are watching is a prodigy!! No lessons... does not read music... self taught. She just turned 12 have you seen who she has played with????
Might want to check out Nandi Bullshell
Watched your junna cover. This drummer is also awesome! Check out Band Maid! Their drummer Akane Hirose (aka The Gorilla) is also incredible! I would recommend Freedom or Domination live. As a guitar player she is my favorite kind of drummer. More Ringo. Less Pert. On time and in the pocket! Band Maid! Best rock and roll band on the planet! Just my opinion!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Those bass drum triplets, and her toe barely reaches the pedal.
ONE TAKE!
You deliberately cut her giggle and laugh off! You "AH"!
Honestly had no idea it was coming lol sorry
Kosmos
I hate when people stop a video before the end.
Apparently I missed the smile in the video at the end. I just always stop when the performance does.
