Jojo is literally like the guru of drumming, breaking down the act to an almost scientific and spiritual level where he speaks almost in an unorthodox manner.
'Freedom over safety'. A great Drummer and artist with a philosophy. Saw him for the first time in 1993 at the Drummermeeting in Koblenz. He took a great development. Thanks for this.
I love the fact that he's human. Foibles, art, ideas that work or not but are worth the try. His things he mentions as inspirations and influence are so varied as the mind works . Using subdivisions and breaking down the meter to just a pulse. He's a great communicator of drumming as cerebral not a math problem . Although as a drummer this happens but its the adventure that catapults the art of drums.
Great Interview! JoJo is one of the most advanced musician on this planet. Ans he is also a great person! And one of my favorits. :-) All the best, Jürgen.
I will watch entire video before I comment next time this was great cat it seemed. like the interview was gonna be weird but u brought it around and made it interesting great job
Im sorry I accidentally hit undo for your thank you...yes all your vids are great !!! I really enjoy watching them, I love to see the personal inside world of professional drummers ,besides there drumming abilities ..it also does not hurt that your a cutie pie as well (just a compliment)with all do respect .. keep them vids coming please..
Thank you, Frank. :-) Well, it's true. Please stay tuned for one of my next videos with Russ Miller. He will demonstrate the difference between playing honest and not.
Thanks, great interview, I enjoyed the insight into his personal life, glad to see he is really down to earth. The only reason I know of Jojo Mayer is is because I found him on TH-cam, I have tickets to see Nerve in Seattle this September, can't wait!
Jojo has helped me a great deal as a musician, giving perspectives on seeing the art of music is such a relieving mentality when a lot of music requires mathematics (as mentioned in the video). Nice interview, felt personal and real from artists, thank you.
I love Jojo's insights about music, performance, creativity and I was wondering if he recommends any book to read about this. Perhaps you can ask him :)
I saw the channel name....where's the calico in a fedora...jk! Insta like sub and thumbs up. Great interview/style/quality and above all channel name. In Veritas Paradiddles
Jojo is literally like the guru of drumming, breaking down the act to an almost scientific and spiritual level where he speaks almost in an unorthodox manner.
I can almost agree to that ;-) Thanks for your feedback.
this may be the most interesting intellectualization of the artistic process of creating music I have ever found in a single video
subfragment I like that feedback, especially because I'm in the video, too 😉😎
"Any dream gigs?"
"Yeah, I pretty much have it already."
YES! That's what I have been waiting for my entire life. A video with jojo Mayer... Now i can rest in peace.
Ups, I released it too soon. Don't rest in peace, play and have fun in peace ;-)
This guy has and his band have been a real big inspiration to me a lot recently. Just brilliant :)
'Freedom over safety'. A great Drummer and artist with a philosophy. Saw him for the first time in 1993 at the Drummermeeting in Koblenz. He took a great development. Thanks for this.
Yeah, it's a quite bold statement. It stands in complete contrast to what many people would choose right now, I am afraid.
Fantastic. I know exactly what Jojo is talking about.
I love the fact that he's human. Foibles, art, ideas that work or not but are worth the try. His things he mentions as inspirations and influence are so varied as the mind works .

wise words from a true artist ,nice 1
Thanks for this interview! Jojo Mayer is a fantastic drummer! Greetings from Rio Brazil!
Obrigado, Marcos. Thanks for your feedback. Greetings to from Munich to Rio :-)
53 thousand years old, what a living legend
He seems like a Magician, an occultist. Brilliant man...
he actually is very skilled in magic, my drum teacher has met him quite a bit at Sabian dinners and says his magic is quite good
Congrats, you're a true journalist. great questioning.
Thank you! :-)
Marvelous interview. Jojo says "Sometimes I catapult myself into a world of sh!t" and I say when that happens, there is absolutely no stink involved!
What a wonderful interview by this fabulous interviewer and of course a pleasure to listen to an artist such as JOJO. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Grasshopper! That sounds excellent in my ears :-)
:)

Amazing Video editing and one of the most creatively informative interviews with Jojo I have seen.
Woohoo! Thank you so much, Siim. And I certainly hope you've seen many?! ;-) All the best :-) Cat
I am a big fan of Jojo I know what I am talking about ;) Amazing job
Jojo has helped me a great deal as a musician, giving perspectives on seeing the art of music is such a relieving mentality when a lot of music requires mathematics (as mentioned in the video). Nice interview, felt personal and real from artists, thank you.
My dream band, Jojo, Vai,Govan and Wooten.
Great interview!
I wish I had a chance to hang out with Jojo, such a cool dude!
Nice interview, more of a friendly chat, much better format. Nicely done!!!
Thank you. You might get a chance too, why not?! All the best! Cat
I really really like Jojo a bit more now. Thanks for this vid
great interview. He's the Hunter S. Thompson of drums.
Thank you. Quite an interesting comparison. Jojo for New York sheriff ;-)
Man, these are some great questions!
Aphex Twin, not Apex Twin. In the artist list in the description.
I'm glad I found your channel. This is highly interesting
Excellent interview, thanks!
Thank you. There are more ;-)
thank you soo much for this amazing video, love jojo mayer .. greetings from india :D
Hey great video!. That intro music sounds nice, can I hear the full song anywhere?
Hey Matthias, thank you! Actually that's all there is. I put it together on Garage Band. Glad you like it :-)
love
That accident is Jojo signature rhythm, check prohibited beats album.
I need to do so, I guess. Thanks for the tip.
I love Jojo's insights about music, performance, creativity and I was wondering if he recommends any book to read about this. Perhaps you can ask him :)
Books about what specifically? Music, performance and creativity are three big topics. I am sure he has a whole bookshelf to recommend. ;-)
Maybe he has a book to read more about this concept of inner hearing and the approach he tries to explain here. Thanks
Maybe. I'll ask, when I get a chance.
Great! By the way, I really like your work, thanks a lot for the videos :)
Thank you so much. That's very good to read :-)

Leonardo Guédez Thank you! 🙏
Put subtitles. Please.
Hi Breno! Subtitles? In which language?
Well I talk portuguese, but English subtitles could help me a lot. BTW great job! Jojo is a big influence in my life.
Hi Breno, your English sounds as good as mine :-) If I can find a volunteer to do some subtitles though, I'll let him or her do it.
I saw the channel name....where's the calico in a fedora...jk! Insta like sub and thumbs up. Great interview/style/quality and above all channel name. In Veritas Paradiddles

Self-taught? Dayum
Elaborate on conjuring and magic? Sounds not good. Very inspiring in just about every other aspect. Thank you. Peace
DC Calling upon spiritual forces of nature.
seems annoyed
Hi Kenny. Who seems annoyed and what's your point?
CAT with HATs
no point it's just at the beginning of the video he seemed to look annoyed that's all
I didn't feel that Jojo was annoyed, when meeting him. He was just very serious about doing the interview and gave all of my questions some thought.
