    In my opinion she's by far the best young drummer in the world and getting very close to being one of the best period. Most drummers in general only play one type of music well, she plays several types on a very high level.

      Take Cover (Mr. Big) - Yoyoka & friends, when she was age 10 I believe (she turns 14 years old on Oct 12, 2023)

    • @salvadormonella8953
      @salvadormonella8953 8 месяцев назад +4

      I agree. Yoyoka is like that. It's amazing and unusual. I've seen her play in person. It is even MORE OBVIOUS when you see it for yourself, 1st hand. It is something that struck me about her, how effortless her playing is. It's like the hand of God came down and touched her with his drumsticks, the same way God came down & gave Stravinsky "Le Sacre du Printemps." Stravinsky was so puzzled by his authorship of the work that he claimed he didn't write it, that the hand of God came down and wrote Le Sacre THROUGH Stravinsky. He was merely the mechanism that put the piece down on paper. I am NOT belittling Yoyoka's continued efforts in any way. I know a lot of hard work has gone into her incredible accomplishments. I am only commenting to whole-heartedly AGREE with you, and that this ability is even MORE obvious if you watch her in person and can see in detail how she moves, to the point that it is one of the things I find MOST striking about. Sure, she's a great drummer. The world has many. She's even better at 14. Not so many 14 year olds can play what she does (any? dunno). That she can play what she plays AND the way she plays it is so unusual that I'm sure her fame is inevitable. As near as I can tell, and I do not know EVERY drummer on the planet, she has NO peer. I've looked at a lot of others people have claimed were just "as good" as she is. So far what they've lacked is that effortlessness that defines true greatness.

    • @chrisegbertky
      @chrisegbertky 8 месяцев назад +1

      ​@salvadormonella8953 there are other drummers, much older and much more skilled, than Yoyoka. And when I watch them I can clearly see what she may become. Just watched an incredible solo by Chris Coleman. Astounding! Much better than anything Yoyoka has so far done. BUT I have every expectation she can get there. She is destined for greatness. And as you say not sure she has a peer at her same age. Excellent musician!
      BTW Chris Coleman is her favorite drummer.

    • @salvadormonella8953
      @salvadormonella8953 8 месяцев назад +5

      @@chrisegbertky Drummers are magic. I haven't watched Chris Coleman specifically, that I know of (I might have, I'll have to pay more attention), but I agree there are drummers that make excellent drummers look like amateurs. Other level drummers. While Yoyoka may not be that next level above the next level drummer now, I've seen her play live, and the effortlessness she displays while playing is remarkable. I've played in bands with drummers. I ran a recording studio with pro drummers cutting tracks there. I've seen drummers, many of them, all of them professionals. NONE of them had the je ne sais quoi this young, diminutive teen has. She makes experienced professional drummers earning lots of money look sloppy, lazy, and robotic. I've seen super good drummers. She is super good. The best in the world? Not today. Tomorrow, or perhaps this weekend. She'll get there, just so long as she doesn't let Hollywood media vampires get to her, or go so boy crazy that the crazy part of that descriptive phrase doesn't overwhelm her talent. I'm crossing my fingers. She's too nice a girl to experience excessive adult-sized pain. The same goes for her family. They're too nice to have their little girl be consumed by the fire of fame. I think everyone around her owes it to her to try and keep her head on her shoulders and her hands on her sticks and her feet on her pedals FIRMLY. With any luck.....we'll see her development for years to come. All drummers are magic and better than most musicians. She's a special kind of magic.

    I've definitely enjoyed her foray into fusion / jazz - because it is expanding her vocabulary. In her excellent work with Ken Okada, her fills were expectedly mostly rock style. I detected alot of the same influences in her drums solos... But as she is rehearsing / playing / performing new (to her) styles, she's adding new vocabulary to the muscle memory... Fantastic...
    Watching Yoyoka continue to impress even more is just an amazing thing. Great stuff.
    As for this track, it is difficult not to get lost in Billy Sheehan's bass playing (who has collabed with Yoyoka when she was 10). I mean - getting to play with the dude who absolutely crushed it on Elephant Gun in '86... whoa... :)

The worst is those inserted videos and pictures of animals, as if animals can emote human emotions. NEWS FLASH: they can't. Well, maybe dogs can, but rodents and other lesser critters cannot. "Thanks" Andrew for perpetuating the myth that animals are just like little, hairy humans, but without the credit cards and opposable thumb. Thanks, Andrew, for setting society back educationally and zoologically-wise by decades. When the world ends in zombie apocalypse, we know whose fault it was.

  • @dtfreak
    @dtfreak 8 месяцев назад +1

    Like some said... Pat Torpey was the original drummer. Died from Parkinson Desease in 2018. Before Mr. Big, he played for Impelliteri and for Robert Plant's solo band. He was probably the best "pocket/groove" drummer of all the Hard Rock drummers from the late 80s - early 90s era. But he could also be extremely technical when needed to be. But he never overplayed on a song. On top of that, he was a really good singer too.
    That song is the opening track from Mr. Big's 3rd album "Bump Ahead". Released in 1993.
    Mr. Big became worldwide famous for their acoustic ballad "To Be With You", but every single one of their albums have these technical demanding songs in them. They have the perfect balance between technical proficiency and melodic accesibility on their records.

    Fantastic reaction, Andy! As mentioned below, this was shot in a rented space in LA. Her dad Aki was not totally happy with the mix as they couldn't bring all the recording gear; however, as you said, it is still amazing. Another fun note on this cover: if you look carefully in the foot cam you can see someone sitting on the floor grooving along (I suspect her brother Shido). It seems every she puts out now is next-level, and as others have mentioned, her gigs at Whiskey A GoGo are no rehearsal, no sound check, and in most cases, playing with others for the first time. Nothing phases her! From her recent gig on Tuesday Sept 26 2023:
    "Tuesday was @ultimatejamnight at @thewhiskyagogo ! I jammed "You Cloud Be Mine" by @gunsnroses and "Forty Six &2 " by @toolmusic . These were the first songs I had ever tried. Of course, no rehearsal, no sound check. It was very tense, but fun! Personally, I had a lot to reflect on, but I am proud to have been able to play with this great group of musicians.
    I was especially honored to finally play with @chuckwrightbass , who I have always wanted to play with! He was still a cool bass player. We will definitely play together again! Thanks also to @marikawaguchi7 for always supporting me! I would love to play at the next @ultimatejamnight again. Thank you to the staff, co-stars, and audience! And happy birthday to @halsparks ! Hope to be able to JAM with you next time!"

      "Personally, I had a lot to reflect on, but I am proud to have been able to play with this great group of musicians."
      This quote intrigued (and worried, tbh) me. Reflect on what? Only her performance (not happy with it, or...), or is it something more serious.
      Can you ask her what she meant by that, if it's not too personal.

    This is a Mr. Big cover. Yoyoka did some remote jams with Billy Sheehan, the bass player for this band, back when she was 10. Billy Sheehan and the guitarist Paul Gilbert are kind of high-profile old-school shredders, but cooler. The drummer, Pat Torpey was pretty great, and unfortunately passed away from Parkinson's disease. This is a fairly faithful cover, but it's hard to be as punctual as Yoyoka.

    Paul Gilbert, guitar extraordinaire, is in this band. There's always a complimentary drummer. I've been playing George Lynch, Frank Hannon, Dio,etc since 1985 when I was 15. That's a long time and there are songs and players that I don't even mess with because I can't play em smooth and clean. To be able to play anything you want because your capability is on par with the best players must be lovely. She's been there since she was 9 or 10. That is insanity.

    Is the 'nub' of it her apparent 'headroom'? She looks like she is playing effortlessly, well within her ability. Yet she is very fast around the kit, playing a *LOT* of notes, while every note sounds clean, crisp, and with wide dynamics.
    Or have I missed something, and there is more?
