Thank you very much✨🥁🥁🥁
You are absolutely most welcome!
Fantastic as always :)
I have only been subscribed to you for about 6 months. I love your talent, enthusiasm, and sheer fun you have.
What if we were transported to another planet and all the children turned out to be genius's that offer to take us to their leader?
"Sorry children, we have to leave now and go back home to our planet and cry."
Can you zap us back?
We love you YOYOKA!!! 💞
Yoyoka Sensei, please teach me :). Just joking. Very much a fan of yours and i love your drummer face in this video :D
This song came out when I was a teen. I am 63 now. GFR was a proper rock band and sold out large venues. I will bet a kabillion dollars no adult put her onto this. She may have searhed "funk" and this came up. Her ear is extraordinary and as any fan can see she loves to rock! Love the stank faces she makes on this! She looks like she is having such fun! That's why we often watch this at least once a week. Like a shot of antidepressants!
Im 62 I agree and do likewise.
She found Led Zeppelin herself.
Her parents said they had never
heard of them before yoyo made
that video at age 8.
I saw them live in 74 and 75 so this just kills me 😎👏👏👏👍🏻memory lane
Gotta love Yoyoka. She drums happy! Sock power!
Yoyoka is the BEST. I can't watch her and not smile.
I replay her videos just to see her facial expressions while she nails the songs. Pure joy in that girl.
That kick beat she's doing at 5:50 is so perfect...I've been a drummer for 40 years; I never picked up on that syncopation beat in this song...So tasty...:)
YOYOKA TO THE WORLD.... PURE JOY... Thank you for your Critique!!!!
She is a huge Dave Grohl fan. Yoyoka is quickly becoming my favorite musician! Everything I see and hear just makes me smile
She plays better than most adult drummers I know.
How many adult drummers do you know that got signed to pro endorsements from Pearl, Zildjian, TAMA, Paiste and DW when they were 8?
I think that's the difference here, man. Yoyoka Soma right now at 11 has had those major endorsements for 3 years and has been playing for 9 years in total, in bands and doing sessions work and the occasional clinic.
How many adult drummers that you know were inducted into the Drummer World Magazine Top 500 Drummers of ALL TIME, when they were 10?
Those may be some factors that separate the guys you know from young Soma-sama here. lol
@@jackspratt7264 Exactly, people she sounds like a professional drummer, well she's been playing gigs with her family since she was 6, so yes she is a pro.
Seriously.
Her fills...just amazed at her timing knowledge...I'm a guitarist and know nothing about playing drums other than it takes a special mind/body interaction and I just couldn't be more impressed with this.
I'm a guitar player top and seeing great drumming and reading all the comments help me understand music better.
Shes having so much fun playing! :)
Serendipity of life.....to see Grand Funk live in 74 and 75 and......then......all these years later to be taken on an emotional memory lane by the Drum Vivisector and a nine year old Japanese drummer 🧐🤪🤔who’d of thunk it???? Thanks for this 😎😂😂😂
This is my favorite Yoyoka age. Plays so well but so little and cute.
Yoyoka blink 4 times if you're being held captive to play awesome drums!!!! Lol dang she's awesome
BAHAHAHAHA
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Your biggest problem in covering her is isolation her age in this video (9 years old) and then continuously saying what people that age GENERICALLY do while omitting Yoyoka's experience up until this point. That's kind of the key.
Remember, she's playing since she was 2 at this point. So, that's 7 years of experience. The average 9 year old that YOU deal with probably decided that year that they were going to take up the drums.
Big difference, wouldn't you say?
What you're doing is the equivalent of talking about tendencies of first year martial arts students versus a black belt. It's not fair for either ranking, even though they may be the same age.
I am not a musician, just an avid rock music fan. This is my go-to, feel good place. No matter how bad a day, Yoyoka Soma's drumming puts a smile on my face. So fluid, so crisp, so powerful AND the sheer joy she plays with. AWESOME! 💯👏👏👏
I'm so happy to see this!!!
Best vision I've seen in years 😜. she should have this world as her oyster
It's not about technique.
It's about the pure joy of playing.
Stray Cats - Rock This Town / Cover by Yoyoka
I have seen this one and have watched it a number of times and it is another Nailer, In an interview she said her favorite is rock music
She is such a joy to watch.
Andy, no matter how good she is as a performer, her expressions are the REAL dynamite!
She is pretty good, lol . You should check out her police, murder by numbers cover.
All game face on that one.
I like her version of Rock This Town by The Stray Cats. Playing standing up, hopping on one leg, and just so damned happy.
As a child of the 70s, my favorite drummers have always been Keith Moon and John Bonham. Now my all time favorite is Yoyoka. I get chills watching her and it just makes me happy when I see how much fun she is having while playing next level drums.
That's great to hear Gary :)
I hope that one day when the world is back to normal that you get to meet Yoyoka and it gets shared here.
She just makes me happy
Excellent Mark!
She just released “Good Times, Bad Times” by Zeppelin. She did it several years ago, and Robert Plant is in a video watching her, talking about how talented she is. She just gets better and better.
Gotta love her. She plays the drums not just bangs on them. And the joy she has playing is infectious. Rock on!!
She's definitely in touch with her inner metronome.
She is covering some of my all time favorite songs, stuff I have heard hundreds of times at least and she just kills all of them. So great!
It's impressive that she's already mastered accents and ghostnotes at the age of nine.
Another awesome yoyoka video I grew up on that song and she nailed it. Thanks again Andrew for keeping her in your lineup👍
Isn't she just the best!!!??
She plays it better than I do! Really awesome!
Her high sticking reminds me of Bruce Lee unleashing his nunchuks. Welcome to the Yoyoka Tribe, where if her parents ever wanted to go off on a solo romantic vacation, we'd all be bidding for the chance to babysit her for two weeks and sending letters of reference. Some other young drummers may have a following, but she's the only one I've ever seen who can turn a bad day into a, well, not so bad one, just by watching a couple of her videos (this goes for me as well as hundreds of others here). It's not only her god-given talent and her nuclear-powered right foot, it's the exuberance and joy that she brings to everything she does. In a word, astounding.
HAHA! Well said Leah :)
This young lady has astounding talent and your expert analysis makes it sound all the better. Thanks for this, and for my latest pandemic project - going through my music collection listening for 'ghost notes.'
I wonder if Don Brewer has heard this? If he hasn't, he needs too!!! Also, how many of us watching wave back at her at the end??
every time and I say thanks yoyoka awsome as always😁🥁🧦👍🤘.
Don brewer is such an asshole, he'll probably sue her
i have been playing guitar in garage and bar bands for the last 35+ years... i have performed this song (sing it and play guitar on it) in just about every band ive ever been in because i could do it so well... never have i ever had a drummer that could nail the beginning to this... its always been some sort of simplified version or worse yet an inaccurate mess every time that song starts... she nailed this to a freakin T!!! i would love to be able to get the chance to play it with her if not just to be able to truly feel the groove of the song as you play it... love this song... love this drummer.... shes already a monster(in a good way)!!! PEACE YOYOKA!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Not to mention the perfect photographic memory.
Mate, you're the Yoyoka of reaction video makers. :). And you're (almost) as funny as I think I am.
BAHAHAHA! Thanks Andy!
You must see her "Smells Like Teen Spirit" cover. Power, energy, just cool!
Great video. Grand Funk Railroad was a great band. I believe the drummer's name is Don Brewster. He also sings, back up and lead on some songs. I saw him on a Modern Drummer Festival video. Tall gangly guy--interesting contrast with a petite girl--nice chap with no pretentious. He flubbed the intro to this song while demonstrating it on the video. No big deal. Just started again and nailed it. I found it encouraging. It showed that even the pros can make a mistake now and then. And it's not the end of the world.
Thanks for what you do.
Love your reaction videos and love Yoyoka!!! She's my hero!!!!
Cool, I was hoping you would comment on her backhand cymbal crash technique, and now we have a name for it(although I might have to call it the “Yoyo Flick”)!😁
Enjoyed your analysis as usual, keep ‘em coming!
Plenty more to come!
Semprini, definitely the Yoyoka flick!
She’s everything drumming should be. Drummers must drum and make terrible jokes. It’s science 🤷♂️
Yoyoka Indeed 100%
Never get tired of Yoyoka! 😎
Andrew has the terrible jokes nailed 😂😂😂
Fantastic drumming!!
The sound of that yellow snare that uses is magnificent, especially on the Peter Gabriel "Steam" cover she does. I was looking at purchasing for my son but kinda pricey around 1k.
Well Well Well 🤟👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽🇹🇭❤️
Yup!
You said something that resonated very well with me, I'm not a drummer but I play an Roland electric kit to record song ideas (I play guitar mainly). I have found that I can move the snare and bass drum around quite easily on eighth notes when playing eighth notes on the ride or hi-hat, but as soon as I try doing it when playing quarter notes on the hi-hat (or ride) I feel locked and cant syncopate the bass or snare easily at all, I have to think about it a lot more and focus much harder (and still fail)... I'm glad it is supposed to be more difficult, i thought it should have been easier but it makes sense now you pointed it out... thanks
simple man, I see yoyoka, click like.
Notice her foot drumming too. Yeah her stick height is amazing to still keep time like that. I'm 61 and GFR was big in the 70s. They wouldn't have made it to NZ before the net. Oh, I don't believe YOYOKA had taken drum lessons at this point!
True, she hadn't!
Besides Yoyoka's incredible talent and love of what she's doing, she is a NATURAL SHOWMAN. SO incredible for such a youngster.
I know, I know, it's Yoyoka again, but you MUST really, really, check out her cover of Onix by Senri Kawaguchi. She was only 7 yo then and if you still have your jaw intact on your face, make sure to have it wired in 😁
You need to go down the grand Funk rabbit hole! They were a killer band in the 70s !
I bet!!!
Please react to yoyoka playing roseanna by toto one of the hardest shuffle beats to play. She nails it!!!
Here for Yoyoka. Well done 👍
Admit it, Yoyoka is or will be the standard by which all others will be judged.
Fun reaction again Andrew.
I get a smile watching her and your expressions and critiques.
Awesome 👍👍
Great to hear Gary! 🙏
awwww so cute :)
The drummer in this band sings the lead on this track originally!
Very fair assessment of her drumming. A mistake is a mistake. You’re just calling it for what it was. The rest of the time full of admiration. She has become even stronger in the last year and I can see her breaking more than her fair share of sticks in her teenage years (let alone when she becomes an adult!).
Keep up the great analysis.
Grand Funk. Closer to my home. A little off the subject, but you should not die without hearing it.
She's posted a "3 years on" version of "Good times bad times"
A comparison would be good.
Thanks again Andrew, I heard about the earthquake, I don't know New Zealand but hoping everyone is Ok
All safe here thanks Harry!
An amazing performance and talent for a nine year old girl.Today he is already a professional. Alex
WOW! I can't believe you've never heard that before as it was played on the radio all the time. I'm sure it was toward the top of the charts.
Anyway, Yoyoka never disappoints in her performances, as any mistakes are far and few between, and she has the professionalism to keep playing through the mistakes and correct them on the next time around. SHE IS ONE VERY BLESSED AND TALENTED LITTLE GIRL! SHE BRINGS JOY TO MY HEART!!!
Thank you Andrew. Love it when you cover Yoyoka!! Huge fan
super smooth both
By the way, That is the Yoyoka model Pearl kit that she put together at Pearl in Japan when she got her endorsement
i tied the drums when i was in high school and i could not do what she does with her feet and hands all at the same time. she is just fantastic.
Dave Grohl was a huge Rush fan, in fact he was honoured to induct them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland
Bear in mind that she started playing drums at about age 5. When I watch her earliest videos, it reminds me of watching clips of Ricky Ricardo Jr. who started at about the same age.
Right on James!
She started at one and a half years of age. She was playing gigs at 4.
The wonderful thing about Yoyoka is that she can, with astounding facility, slay a Rock Anthem like Burn and also nail tasteful rock from my O-level days in the early 1970s.
Andrew can thank Yo-yo for his initiation to some, heretofore, unfamiliar great tunes of their day.
Well done Yoyoka sweetie.👏👍🌷
Regarding hearing a blip only a drummer would notice. All drummers have done it. Two things you should know about this. Yoyoka usually makes only 1 take on her covers. She purposely leaves any error in. She doesn't edit them out. Once, she actually showed herself recovering from a dropped drumstick and not miss a beat. Also of note, she doesn't read music, yet. She listens to a track a few times, analyzes and memorizes the drum patterns, then usually does her cover. I'm not sure if she sees any original videos as well, which would help a lot. Also, I don't know how much her drum teacher participates in analyzing and memorizing these covers. That would be amazing for any drummer, but a preteen girl? Wow. I enjoy your channel.
Thank you! Yes Slight flamming or outright mistakes are awesome.
Much better than quantized samples!!
Yeah not many people know of Grand Funk, a band os the late '60s and early '70s a very underrated band, I have heard the song and Yoyoka did it justice she was spot on. If there was a mistake I didn't hear it but your the pro (teacher) and you've never heard of this song but she made a mistake hmmm go figure??????????????
@metalmadman,
Not many people have heard of Grand Funk Railroad? 10 consecutive Platinum albums? Sold out Shea Stadium FASTER than the Beatles? You sir, don't have a clue how huge they were
Mr Rooney...... you are doing the world a great honer by teaching kids ....and it's not just about the drums......they will learn discipline in what they are doing...... now as for our little drummer (girl). In her mom's belly.... with a set of ....Neil peart.. drums....... absolutely the best...!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Chris!
I love your videos on Yoyoka. She is an anomaly to say the least if not a drum savant!! At the age? Wow is all I can say. But dude, if your a drummer and instructor how can you have never heard this song before? Or, in a previous video, when she played Deep Purple Burn, you said that you've never heard of Burn, or not a deep purple guy? I don't understand. But, you're in Auckland so maybe that music didn't get to you guys years ago. Who knows. Keep up the good work, other than your occasional naivety, I enjoy these vids. Thanks.
Cheers Steve!
People listen to different types of music :)
The ultimate compliment for any up and coming drummer now....would be a reaction video from Yoyoka. Hmm...who will be the first?
HAHA Yup!
Interesting point!
Dear Andrew, I have been following your interventions for some time from France and I love your astonishment concerning this little goddess of rock.
But I admit that I sincerely pity his mother for the birth of this child. My God, it must have been difficult for the drumsticks she had at her fingertips to pass at the same time ...
This is my favorite Yoyoka playing video!!!! Thank you for the reaction!!!
Great to hear Frances!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums And I love your breakdowns. I saw some other Yoyoka reacation videos and yours is the best!!!! Subscribe now^^
The thing with this girl is that she matches her confidence with ability - and then approach drumming with said confidence. She is not indicating that she taps the drum correctly, she hammers her sticks from well behind her shoulders, punishing the drum to sound right. She performs like a honed target-man on a football (soccer for some of you) team. A goal does not have to be pretty to be a goal and my vibe is to tap them in like crazy like a rock-drummer should do. Just like one of her heroes of Nirvana/Foo Fighter fame motto - if in doubt hit harder while staying steady.
Message to young aspiring boys - I know there are heaps of videos of talented girls playing the drums now. Do not say "F it" just yet. Remember that a good girl drummer is a novelty because of traditions centuries older than your age. Also, pay attention to work-ethics - girls work hard because of the same century-old history of having to prove themselves.
We dudes think Ronaldo is a pretty good target man in football. Take a quick google search of how he looked before signing his talent to Manchester United and how he looked after leaving that club. Kid had done more sit-ups than most of us to become better - instead of hanging out with mates as already rich 15 years ago. He is still practising now paid a billion a year for working hard to become better.
Ronaldo is never pleased with his abs - he is constantly striving to become stronger, faster, more dangerous and lethal - instead of going to a bar and spend 10000 dollars on champaign.
The message to us boys is that we must stop dreaming to be good. We must work our ass off to become even decent. If we want to run 10 km in a time that creates attention these days, we better have to do it in 27 minutes or less. And that is insane. Even if we want to be decent locally, priorities must happen. Talent or gender is no longer a qualifying idea. We must practice.
Well said. Nowadays, it seems that anyone with a computer and some composing software think they can be the next “music star.” They have neither the understanding nor patience for the amount of work (practice) and dedication that goes into achieving true musicianship and talent. Yoyoka seems to have a natural gift for drumming, but practicing daily since she was a tot is what separates her from a lot of wannabes.
The way she just flows to the ride, over the shoulder like that just gets me every time, then the cymbal pattern at the end, with the choke on the ride at the end. Just love watching this young lady.
Also check out one of hers from even YOUNGER, The Stray Cats “Rock This Town”. Absolutely CHANNELS Slim Jim Phantom here.
i've been a grand funk fan for 50 years and she had tapping my feet, bobbing my head and grinning...
Never heard of Grand Funk Railroad!? Heresy!
I've heard OF them. Don't think I've ever heard them though.
Bit before my time.
Agreed, Never Heard of Grand Funk Railroad, Utter Blasphemy!!!!! Sold Out Shea Stadium faster than The Beatles. They were "removed" from the stage by Led Zeppellin's manager for being so good. They were a warm up band for the Atlanta Pop Fesival on Day 1. On the last day, They were headlining. Multiple Gold and Platinum albums, AND...... STILL NOT IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!! What's wrong with this world?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Good music is timeless. It's never too late.
@@raymondrodriguez9389
They SHOULD be in RRHOF.
I don’t expect they made it to New Zealand, and Andrew is way too young for when they peaked in Australia 1969-1974. Looks like their cover of “Locomotion” in 74 was their only big hit on the AU charts. Though the albums did well. And “Some Kind of Wonderful” just cracked the top 40. (NZ data is too hard to sort through)
@@ms.chuckfu1088 All valid points. Kudos on the research Ms. As an over 60 rocker, I get enjoyment from listening to Grand Funk just as listening to Isaac Hayes, Motorhead, Pink Floyd, or Iron Maiden. I think Homer Simpson said it best: "Nobody knows the band Grand Funk? The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner, The bong rattling bass of Mel Schacher, The competent drum work of Don Brewer. Oh Man!! For more information on Grand Funk consult your public library".
Man, i really enjoyed that! Can't say enough about how good she actually is!
Mo matter how much you study, practice, learn, and accomplish, there's always an Asian kid who can do it better! Rock on young lady!🙂
Es impresionante lo relajada, lo feliz y lo coordinada que toca siempre Yoyoka. Por eso la considero una de las mejores bateristas del planeta.
You never heard of Deep Purple and Grank Funk Railroad?! what a drum teacher you are sir :))
Seriously. Yoyoka has a better knowledge and grasp of the classics than this guy.
She's 11 now and and just redid ..."Good times Bad times"...I really think she plays it better than Bonzo...oh my god...did I just say that? Just check it out for yourself...
I watched Bo Diddley and Buddy Holly in the mid to late 50's. the drummers had cymbals, but hardly ever hit them; even the hi-hat could hardly be heard. So who started using the cymbals more?
I know most jazz greats had a section in their drum solos on the high hat cymbals. Buddy Rich for sure. Gene Krupa worked closely with Zildjian to develop a lot of the cymbals we take for granted as a "standard" part of the drum kit.
Thanks again, you Mansplaining Meanie LoL Hope you and yours are well
HAHA! Stop it Harry!
Grand Funk was the first band I saw live Don Brewer was the master of fastest triplets American Band huge hit around the world She nailed it SUPERSTAR Amazing
We're an American band comes from the early 70's from memory.
Nice
You never heard that song? GFR is a band that is a must for all of my drum students. Don Brewer is a perfect example of simplicity with solidity and power and the occasional flashy fill that works in most any rock context. It's also fun music to play. Check out their first three albums. The first one has the drums mixed insanely high and includes a 5 minute drum solo!
He was singing while playing this song. May explain the simplicity.
Drummer Don Brewer is singing this one
Makes me so happy!
Soooo good!
She is a true prodigy. So awesome to watch her.
Hi Andrew,thanx for all your nice and professional reactions on Yoyoka's covers..you really should check out her cover from "Rosanna - Toto" (Jeff Porcaro-Purdie shuffle..)) and "Murder by Numbers.. from.."The Police".(Stewart Copeland)...they're awesome too..amazingly good..as allway's..thanx ;)
Don Brewer was/is one of the all time great rock drummers. He is also on vocals on this song. His drum solo on Grand Funk Live, TNUC, is epic.
Yoyoka's cover of Rosanna by toto is awsome please give it a play .Thanks stay safe.🙂👍🥁
I struggle to believe anyone can get even close to the feel in Rosanna. One of my fave songs ever Wayne!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums she did a pretty good job she said it was the hardest cover she had done. It took her at least 5 or 6 hours of practice over the period of a week from what I understand. She talked about it in an interview she had just turned 10 years old I believe. Thanks for the response stay safe.
@@waynelynch9557 All game face on that one except when she zens out with her eyes half closed!
I STARTED PLAYING DRUMS WHEN I WAS 10.. (1973)
MY TEACHER GAVE ME A A WOOD BLOCK & A RUBBER PAD THAT WAS NAILED TO IT.
I LOOKED AND ASKED WHY CANT I USE MY DRUM SET? HE SAID BEFORE YOU USE YOUR DRUMS..
SHOW ME YOU CAN MASTER THIS PAD...LOLTHAT WAS 49 YEARS AGO...
LOOKING BACK.. WOW WAS HE RIGHT..
GOD BLESS YOU YOYOKA..
That’s one of my favorite songs. How many hours a day does she practice? She just about buried that track.
Just enough she says. Typically, fully committed about an hour apparently. She has been gigging since 4yo, evidence abounds.
When she did this at age 9 she practiced half hour a day .when she turned 10 she said in an interview she started practicing 1 hour a day . She plays a lot more making covers is her play time like we might go play catch or video games she loves to listen to music and play drums. She's awsome thats for sure .🙂🧦👍🧦👍🧦👍🧦🤘😂
Type in 'We're an American Band' live Grand Funk Railroad. You will see the great great drummer Don Brewer do the vocals and this great drums.
Cheers
Though I like some of her other covers more (Put Me Thru - someone with PayPal please request!) she nailed this one like no other cover she has done.
