Wow....Kai Jokiaho...one of the finest musicians anyone could find around. Technique, taste, musicality, groove, sound, feeling, heart, ... What can i say more? One of my favourite drummers and an excellent example of what hard work produces. Congratulations!!! Top player
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
I was born in the 70’s and i grew up listening to 80’s music and I know Chaka Khan but I was today years old when i 1st heard this song and I’m loving it. Thank you Kai for this!🫡
Your drumming is always more than the sum of the beats, the fills, the chops and ‘plings’. That’s why your drumming has that special and authentic extra!
An Excellent job!! I, too, really did love Steve when he played this and on others. You absolutely nail this!! Yes, and note to note... And more importantly -- feel!! It's there!!
Dude! Straight up the best youtube cover i've ever seen. Pocket man! But that fill at 3:35 that goes over the bar... Tasty as hell. Ferrone is a monster. Beautiful job
Certainly a good guy to check out! Love Porcaro and JR. Woefully unfamiliar with Ferrone. Also Carlos Vega is a guy i'm looking to investigate. Take care!
Hello Kai, you and a couple of drummers have inspired me to try drumming out, as soon as I'm in the position i will purchase a set of drums, i have no training at all but at 53 yrs old , the inspiration is to heavy for me not to try, big THANK YOU Kai...you rocking me to sleep tonight, I have seen some of your covers and I must say you are the bomb brother, keep inspiring people such as me....👏👏👏👍...watcha gonna do for me..😁😁😁
Man, I’ve been listening to your videos for a while today. You really do an amazing job of copping the vibe of the original artists! So much fun to watch and even more enjoyable to hear. My closet drummer side is geeking out pretty hard on your playing, Kai.
hello KAI, my name is Gilberto, I'm Brazilian and I really liked your videos, I really like the musical styles you chose. I would like you to play another one from chaka khan, is not nobody. hugs.
Very much appreciate that you cover note-per-note, lick per lick. Can count on you to break it down in a most correct and authentic fashion, thank you! By the way, I completely freaked out as a ten year old kid when I discovered funk- Average White Band, Cut The Cake album featuring our favorite, Steve Ferrone. Oh, my gosh I went bananas. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Moro Kaitsu ja kiitos todella selkeästä soitosta! Sanoit, että pääsis lähelle Steve Ferranon vetoa. Mun mielestä sä vedät tiukemmin, me suomalaiset ollaan varmaan niin kurinalaisia ja tarkkoja! Kaikki sun tekemät coverit saa biisit kuulostaa jotenkin paremmilta kuin alkuperäiset. Voisit ihan hyvin olla vetämässä vaikka Baked Botato klubilla.
Kiitoksia kovasti Pekka! Mahtavaa että oot pitänyt videoista! Näissä on mun videoissa on rummut miksattu vähän kovemmalle kun levyllä ja se varmaan vaikuttaa että olisi tiukempia vaikkei olekaan :) Kiitokset!
A top track for me…. You nailed that dude…. One drummer to another…. Play for the song not for you…👍🇦🇺 AND nailed those tricky fills and displacement at the outro choruses.
Correctly played.....pocket big enough for all of us to get in...I'm a bass player myself....I can't count how many times multiple drummers have simply over played on this tune....Great job...!!!!
I absolutely love this. I love this song, and I was curious what was on youtube regarding this song. I am very happy to stumble upon your video. My husband is a drummer, and I have a deep love for songs with awesome drums. I listen and watch you play this all the time. It was about time I commented here. My husband is also impressed! I have subcribed. Love your videos.

Yeah man, grand slam!
I really can't get over this video. I think i've been watching it for three years now. Still blows my mind. Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching it over the years!!
You sir are one hell of a drummer, sounds great, good job!!!
Couldn't have played it any better. Love it!!
Thanks Haydes!
Your drumming is always more than the sum of the beats, the fills, the chops and ‘plings’. That’s why your drumming has that special and authentic extra!
Thanks Nico for the kind words!!
EXCELLENT! That snare roll from 2:57 with the concluding bass thump was a perfect mirror image. Actually your whole playing was. Very impressed.
Cant stop watching this cover! What a groove!
Thanks Alex for the compliment!
Absolutely killed this drum cover!! Keep up the fantastic work Brother!!
Thanks very much Horace!! :)
The beauty of musical chart reading with the added bonus of loving what you are playing.. yesssssss!
Once again, great. 👏
One of my favorite Chaka tunes. Steve Ferrone!
Thank you for doing it justice.
Thanks Brandon!!
An Excellent job!! I, too, really did love Steve when he played this and on others. You absolutely nail this!! Yes, and note to note... And more importantly -- feel!! It's there!!
What can I say, it's got it all soul, feel, funk, timing ,technique.........bravissimo
Dude! Straight up the best youtube cover i've ever seen. Pocket man! But that fill at 3:35 that goes over the bar... Tasty as hell. Ferrone is a monster. Beautiful job
Thank you Andrew! I really love Ferrone's pocket and it's my blueprint how I want to sound.
Certainly a good guy to check out! Love Porcaro and JR. Woefully unfamiliar with Ferrone. Also Carlos Vega is a guy i'm looking to investigate. Take care!
Add Steve Jordan to your list :)
Will do! Haha.
Ferrone is my all time favourite
This is my favorite Chaka Kahn song....GREAT COVER!!
Thanks Henry!

Thanks very much!! I'm a closet bass player who likes all the funky bass players, like Will Lee, Joe Dart, Bernard Edwards, Larry Graham etc :)
Absolutely fantastic. I'm also a drummer and love Chaka, Steve Ferrone, and John Robinson.
I can't enough of this song, nor Chaka. Very centered your groove is.
That looks like a glass cabinet full of snare drums! Joy
Thanks! Steve Ferrone, the original drummer is the Best!
Steve Ferrone's playing on the album Chaka (1978) is simply amazing. That entire album is worth transcribing.
Yeah it's one of my favourites too :)
that funk though! I had that stankface on. killed it my man!!! keep it coming!
Thanks Peter!
Mr Ferrone would b proud 👍
The groove is so immaculate and the toms sing gracefully
That was excellent. I'm in my room jamming. 👌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾❤
good solid drumming great sounding drums timeless awb classic by chaka!
Dewey Veer Thanks Dewey!
hello KAI, my name is Gilberto, I'm Brazilian and I really liked your videos, I really like the musical styles you chose. I would like you to play another one from chaka khan, is not nobody. hugs.
Eu acho que vc está se referindo ao clássico " Ain't Nobody", de quando a Chaka Khan era vocalista da banda Rufus.
Keep it funky brotha!!!!! I love it
Thanks :)

Thanks very much Rene! It's great to see Steve touring with John Mayer! He still plays great at the age of 71, soon 72.
Jeffrey would be proud of this groove! Tight song playing.
