Ok... We're all impressed with the quality of her playing. No arguments. But, first things first, miracle-wise... Can we pause and marvel for a moment at the quality of her *taste* in music. There are American college graduates who couldn't name this song, or the band which recorded it. She's been playing stuff like this for years already.... And she's *12* !!!
Great point ! One quibble though ….. it would seem that a majority of gender/race obsessed American college graduates, could not identify ANY music which is not rap or hip-hop. ie - they can not identify any “music” whatsoever. Well done Yoyoka - epic, as always. 👏🏼👏🏼
Let's not be music snobs. You're NEVER going to like any band until you're introduced to it (with discovering it yourself following the same principle - you turn on the radio and a DJ introduces you to the band). We don't choose our parents (who will have introduced her to half the music she plays and even pushed* her into being the talent she is). *Another argument for another day.
My brother was a really good drummer "back in the day" and I played in a couple garage bands as well. (NO COMPARISON HERE!) After setting here all evening watching a bunch of Yoyoka's wonderful videos I think if I still had a drum set now I'd just go BURN THEM!! I literally had tears streaming down my face after the first vid and just couldn't get enough! I sent a few vid's to my bro and we are both absolutely amazed and impressed at your AMAZING SKILLS and wonderful happy personality!! As the saying goes - "YOU-GO-GIRL"! And I'm sure you will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you're subscribed to this channel and get all notifications. She has published her Led Boots live with The Narada Michael Walden band. Narada cheering her on too.
It's just so fun to see her performing at a level that only a small portion of musicians will ever achieve, and then, at the interlude, turn right back into a little kid and make faces! I'm inspired to make faces at everyone, on my way home from work!
As always Yoyoka nails the part with excellence and spirit... I must remind the world that her father manages to capture the sounds so well. These videos are legendary because we can hear, (and see)... EVERYTHING!
Agree. Aki(sp)? Does an excellent job with sound. These videos have always sounded so good. Video is great too, I don’t get motion sick like some other videos. Keep doing it this way.
The way Yoyoka plays is absolutely outstanding. It is unquestionably perfection. Add into the music itself her joy and enthusiasm and you have an experience rare in its exclusivity. Such strength, such dedication, and such superb timing ! Both she and Ellen A are extremely special
I find it uterly amazing that this girl hits so hard, smiles constantly while she is having the time of her life. Staying so relaxed and in the pocket all the time. Absolutely nails it!!!
Would love to see Yoyoka meet Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin one day. Maybe a Jam session with Jason Bonham would be cool as well. To see them jam together would be a highlight, hopefully that dream becomes reality one day.
Absolutely brilliant, love it & you to death. I always wanted to learn drums as a child, my mother & grandmother wanted me to learn the piano. It never happened. How my life could have been had I of had the opportunity you had! I so admire your growth, development as a young lady, person & musician. May you have a life filled with passion & love for what you believe to be important in your life. My blessings to you & your family for along us to see your talent 😌
Magical performance. She goes way beyond covering a great track. It's like she feels what Bonham felt, and delivers all of it perfectly. What a musician she is!
Yoyoka always makes me smile. The joy she exhibits while playing is infectious. To truly enjoy doing something you're good at is a blessing. I still wish she'd do Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies". To me that's a song where the drums take the lead, and everyone follows along.
Very PERFECT as usual YOYOKA ! You're already beyond being a LEGEND!.....but you must realize that the next thing you must do is KASHMIR....it will GUARANTEE that your LEGENDARY status is FOREVER...and your skill must be recognized as nothing less than PURE MAGIC...only it won't be Magic...it will be REAL. I do believe a new word need to be created to even come close to describing how truly awesome you are. I got an idea....how about YOYOKAWESOME ! ??
For me when she covered the live version of Black Dog perfectly (to my ears) cemented her place in the Led Zeppelin Hall of Fame. But Kashmir. . . my birthday is coming up YOYOKA san?
I don`t know what`s come over me . Ever since I discovered Yoyoka , I feel compelled to watch her play . This my era music and I am constantly smiling . . To watch such a young stunning talent be totally in the music and showing so much joy doing it, is such a pleasure. I can´t explain it I am not a drummer but I am just mesmerised . . Just wow Yoyoka .
It answers a question I used to have: is LZ really great music i.e. would young people recognize it as such OR does LZ sound so great because it is the music of my youth. I think Yoyoka has put that question to rest for this old man.
It's official.....we took a vote and yoyoka's name had to be changed today. Lady's and gentlemen I'm proud to introduce you to the best drummer alive today, she the one and only Yoyoka (Bonzo) soma... Your great and we all love you. Thanks for all the joy your bring to everyone who comes across you.
Bonzo is soo missed and I was soo blessed growing up with this in New Orleans... I used to say no one will ever match Bonzo's drumming but I have to say, this world never ceases to amaze as I watch this awe-inspiring young Japanese girl do just that... And soo much more!!! -Cheers!
Wow indeed, Yoyoka. You do Bonzo proud every time you play a mighty Zep tune. And don't worry about the drumstick, Bonzo broke a lot more than you ever will. 😁
Ok... We're all impressed with the quality of her playing. No arguments.
But, first things first, miracle-wise... Can we pause and marvel for a moment at the quality of her *taste* in music. There are American college graduates who couldn't name this song, or the band which recorded it. She's been playing stuff like this for years already.... And she's *12* !!!
One word: Parents.
Great point ! One quibble though ….. it would seem that a majority of gender/race obsessed American college graduates, could not identify ANY music which is not rap or hip-hop. ie - they can not identify any “music” whatsoever.
Well done Yoyoka - epic, as always. 👏🏼👏🏼

*Another argument for another day.
I close my eyes and I know it's Yoyoka playing but I swear I can also hear Bonham. That's the highest praise I've got.
Reincarnation?
Sure enough... I can picture Bonhm on his orange Ludwig Vista lite kit, jammin away!!
She is absolutely impressive and talented ...go Yoyoka!
So curious if she wants to make a career of this bc anyone would be lucky to have her in their band
Me too😊. Same sensation when I close m'y eyes 😊. John Bonham for sur... Even thé echo and the sound coming to your ears... Like a knife cut
Wow! You move like Keith Moon, and sound like John Bonham! You rock!
This kid's freaking spooky good. How is this possible? Just wow...goosebumps every time
She plays better than professional band drummers.
Been gigging just short of 10 years now. Explore this, her channel, in full. It's all there. She is a professional.
Don't you see how she has become now?
She is a professional drummer. But yes even back when she was 5 she was better than most pro drummers.
Definitely better than Lars. As many do. Lol
She's extremely talented and multi-facted. But she's at her absolute best when she's channeling Bonham.
I love it when yoyoka 2:32 makes those face expressions
Bonzo would be proud!
My brother was a really good drummer "back in the day" and I played in a couple garage bands as well. (NO COMPARISON HERE!)
After setting here all evening watching a bunch of Yoyoka's wonderful videos I think if I still had a drum set now I'd just go BURN THEM!!

As the saying goes - "YOU-GO-GIRL"! And I'm sure you will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its just occurred to me that many of us have essentially watched yoyoka grow up on you tube.
Sounds great, in the pocket, heavy hands just like Bonzo... oh yeah and she's having a blast playing. She wins.
I KNOW RIGHT ! 🥁
この重た~~い感じで心地良いグルーブ、まさにボンゾだわ。この動画をジミー・ペイジが見たら涙流すんじゃないかな。ていうか俺が泣きそう。
If Yoyoka got any deeper in the pocket she'd never get out. Nice to see her find a song that she really grooves on herself.
She is better at drums at 13 or 14 years old than the majority of people will ever be at anything in their entire lives. THAT is wild.
As great as Yoyoka is at covering other drummers when it comes to Bonham she is flat out spooky great. What a joy to witness.
Yoyoka playing Bonham is just the Best
Except for Jason Bonham 😉
I know Jason is the son but I think Yoyoka does Bonzo’s ‘groove’ better. IMO
She is the best living drummer on this planet!! Please form a Super Group that brings us back to 70's
Lol…..Thomas lang, Vinnie Colaiuta. You don’t know.
Tricky to time that fill just right 5:17
Resists the temptation to overplay. IN THE POCKET! Incredible feel.
Take a rain check on your ego buddy
These slower beats were always the hardest for me to play. Yoyoko plays it like she's been doing this for nearly her entire life. Wait, she has!!!!
I was taught about the odd time signatures in this song. I think she nailed it.
You bring tears of happiness. John would be honored! Thank You!!
Love to see her happy face.
That is awesome take it from a guy who seen John Bonham play in the 70s kid your going to be an asset to rock n roll
Make sure you're subscribed to this
channel and get all notifications. She has published her Led Boots live with The Narada Michael Walden band. Narada cheering her on too.
CBC Radio Q should team you with Robert Plant for a interview and Jam Session... maybe with a NPR Tiny Desk Concert or PBS Austin City Limits gig
There is actually a video of Robert Plant reacting to her playing drums to Good Times, Bad Times when she was only 8
People might actually be interested in that. So hard pass from current CBC management.
She seems really happy, hopefully she’s feeling comfortable in her new home..:)
5:30 - awesome bass drum.
最初のバスドラムでZEPの世界に引き込まれました。終始バスドラムが主役でした。YOYOKAちゃんはやっぱりこれだね！他の追従を許しません！
She is Bonham!
I'm a simple man, so when I see such rythym and fluidity I hit the like drum! ❤
To be as young as she is and have that kind of pocket, blows me away.
Those single bass pedal triplets are killer.
It's just so fun to see her performing at a level that only a small portion of musicians will ever achieve, and then, at the interlude, turn right back into a little kid and make faces! I'm inspired to make faces at everyone, on my way home from work!
While we all waited for more Yoyoka, it now appears that the levee has broken.
Considering she's playing in California right ow, it's a pretty ironic song.
Bonham would be proud of you
Horreee...yoyoka saiki wis gede
When I see Led Zeppelin and Yoyoka, I smash "LIKE!"
As always Yoyoka nails the part with excellence and spirit... I must remind the world that her father manages to capture the sounds so well. These videos are legendary because we can hear, (and see)... EVERYTHING!
My thoughts exactly!
@@chrisegbertky The foot cam seals the deal hehe...
@@TwinTailSteve that right foot of hers needs a Lloyds of London insurance policy! ✌
So glad you are here in America!
Agree. Aki(sp)? Does an excellent job with sound. These videos have always sounded so good. Video is great too, I don’t get motion sick like some other videos. Keep doing it this way.

I find it uterly amazing that this girl hits so hard, smiles constantly while she is having the time of her life. Staying so relaxed and in the pocket all the time. Absolutely nails it!!!
She hit this hard when she was 8!
よよかサンのような素晴らしい音楽が分かる若い子が日本人にいる事を同じ日本人として誇りに思います。日本でくすぶる事なく世界に向け頑張って。素晴らしいドラミングです。
Would love to see Yoyoka meet Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin one day.
Maybe a Jam session with
Jason Bonham would be cool as well.
To see them jam together would be a highlight, hopefully that dream becomes reality one day.
Plant said she is amazing, and said she makes it look easy.
Holy moly she really nails this song so well
My favorite Zeppelin song and she totally nails it!
If you run into one of those people who don't believe in perfection show them this.
Not only is she talented she has great taste in music.
Absolutely brilliant, love it & you to death. I always wanted to learn drums as a child, my mother & grandmother wanted me to learn the piano.
It never happened. How my life could have been had I of had the opportunity you had! I so admire your growth, development as a young lady, person & musician. May you have a life filled with passion & love for what you believe to be important in your life. My blessings to you & your family for along us to see your talent 😌
Yoyoka mastered that drag blues beat in her 9th month.
Like a thundering storm rolling through the hills, so is the mighty Yoyoka-san
This song is a test for drummer's discipline staying in the pocket. Her restraint is amazing and played the song flawlessly. WOW 👌 👏 😍 👍
YES! DISCIPLINE IS THE BEST QUALITY FOR A DRUMMER IMO
Girl is a straight born drummer !
She's right on point and you can see that she's loving it
Such precision!! OMG, I am so blown away!!!!
Not just the level of precision with which you play, but also joy! Unique!
My admiration for Led Zeppelin has gone up about 100 points since listening to Yoyoka.
-100 points for me. This has a good base beat and Fool in the Rain has that nice samba segment but as a whole both are such dull songs.
Magical performance. She goes way beyond covering a great track. It's like she feels what Bonham felt, and delivers all of it perfectly. What a musician she is!
The mighty Led Zeppelin played by the mighty Yoyoka!
Yoyokas growing up, go girl. 😊
Yoyoka always makes me smile. The joy she exhibits while playing is infectious. To truly enjoy doing something you're good at is a blessing.
I still wish she'd do Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies".
To me that's a song where the drums take the lead, and everyone follows along.
Super Yoyoka!!!! 🐸📅🥳👍🤙🎵🍿🪴👏🎉🎵🥁🐸🏄😀
I heard that the atomic clock was tuned to this young lady’s timing.
Even the drumstick was so impressed it snapped with excitement 🥰
Bonzo would’ve had no other way
She said she breaks a stick every couple days. Thats how you smash em!
If you see nothing but Deluuge,
all around, you can bet that Yoyoko
had a hand - in bringing it dowwn 🥁!
:-)) 💕 . .
that miight explain why the 2 brooms in my house were dancing around!
Nice added verse@@8088I
OH YEAH THE HAMMERS SMILING, AND HELL IS SHE ROCKING THE HOUSE, EPIC TWO IN A ROW, SHES A TRUE MONSTER OF ROCK GUYS.
Very PERFECT as usual YOYOKA ! You're already beyond being a LEGEND!.....but you must realize that the next thing you must do is KASHMIR....it will GUARANTEE that your LEGENDARY status is FOREVER...and your skill must be recognized as nothing less than PURE MAGIC...only it won't be Magic...it will be REAL. I do believe a new word need to be created to even come close to describing how truly awesome you are.
I got an idea....how about YOYOKAWESOME ! ??
For me when she covered the live version of Black Dog perfectly (to my ears) cemented her place in the Led Zeppelin Hall of Fame. But Kashmir. . . my birthday is coming up YOYOKA san?
YOYOKAさん😊おはようございます！動画観せてくれて朝からhappy♪ありがとうございます✨とても音が気持ちいい〜🥁🎶そしてワオ〜吹っ飛んだ！！よよかちゃんの笑顔、本当に素敵✨✨
What's crazy is she can play with so power but with control at such a young and i mean YOUNG AGE ! INCREDIBLE !
Please keep making us happy! Never lose that spirit! 🤘
Yoyoka feels that lump like few do, regardless of age. Her phrasing and swing are impeccable.
Top 5 best Zeppelin song.
This was impressive
かっこよよか😊
天国のボンゾが喜んでいるのが見えるようです😁
もっとほかかも聴きたくなる。
この曲は大好きですが、YOYOKAさんが叩くと、より魅力が際立ちますね！😂
I don`t know what`s come over me . Ever since I discovered Yoyoka , I feel compelled to watch her play . This my era music and I am constantly smiling . . To watch such a young stunning talent be totally in the music and showing so much joy doing it, is such a pleasure. I can´t explain it I am not a drummer but I am just mesmerised . . Just wow Yoyoka .
She plays with the spirit of someone who digs Zep every bit as much as you do... It goes beyond total competence, it is done with passion.
It answers a question I used to have: is LZ really great music i.e. would young people recognize it as such OR does LZ sound so great because it is the music of my youth. I think Yoyoka has put that question to rest for this old man.
Bring on rhe THUNDER!!
LZ メンバーとツアーに行く準備十分出来ましたね。オリジナルのリマスター版を聴いて戻ってきました短時間に長尺物を連続で 凄い！
重い音で身体が強く揺れる💪💪💪血が騒ぐ🍅🍅🍅涙が出ます😂😂😂ありがとう！！
Yoyoka was just born with an innate musical intelligence!! She understands all of the subtleties involved in playing the drums right .
Yoyo! My hero!
It's official.....we took a vote and yoyoka's name had to be changed today. Lady's and gentlemen I'm proud to introduce you to the best drummer alive today, she the one and only Yoyoka (Bonzo) soma... Your great and we all love you. Thanks for all the joy your bring to everyone who comes across you.
that sir is an epic handle for her.
One of the best drum beats of all time, you nailed it as always!
ボンゾのドラミングが全て詰まった曲だと思う
すげー！
Bonzo is soo missed and I was soo blessed growing up with this in New Orleans... I used to say no one will ever match Bonzo's drumming but I have to say, this world never ceases to amaze as I watch this awe-inspiring young Japanese girl do just that... And soo much more!!! -Cheers!
Simply AMAZING! Yoyoka Is Rock!!!
oh man! This is the first song I learned to play on the drums!!!
yoyoka youre a groove master with very deep pockets :)
Yoyoca RULES !!! I never enjoyed this song, but listening to her on drums, I had to change my mind!
Absolutely amazing “Boketo”! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Luv when she smiles cause she’s having so much fun! Awesome Yoyo!
YOYOKA is something special........very special.
This is the first time that I've ever seen someone truly nail the feel and groove of this song. Wow. Just wow.
Yoyoka,we learn so much from watching you, like a teacher...
Had a bad day at work but it's all better now. Thank you, Yoyoka.
Thanks, great tune, excellent performance. Wow! Another stick bites the dust.
It’s the pure joy on her face that says it all!
Wow indeed, Yoyoka. You do Bonzo proud every time you play a mighty Zep tune. And don't worry about the drumstick, Bonzo broke a lot more than you ever will. 😁
I highly doubt it! YOYOKA goes through about a pair every 2-3 days! Her mom calls her the destroyer!
Who else waves imaginary drumsticks back to Yoyoka at the end of her amazing videos?
Well yeah
Now that's the extremely talented, fun loving young lady I remember!!! Rock on!!!!
Bonham is definitely proud, Yoyoka...Rock On!!
Spo on youngster thank you from a 60 something American you nailed it!
いいねえ、実に
重厚、力押し、実に男前だ
She is a joy to watch!!
