Yoyoka's drumming has a calm confidence that is much more than just chops. It feels like listening to a wise, old jazz drummer. Ripping that hard without frothing up the water is miraculous.
Spectacular!
"Smooth" doesn't begin to describe this. Everyone's playing is fantastic, but Yoyoka's ultra-steady smoothness is borderline miraculous. Not just a great technical player, but an amazing interpreter of music. So excited to see her growing all the time!🤩
For Ken Okada it is a benefit that the drummer has 250k subscribers. For Yoyoka, it is a big deal to participate in the experience of such great musicians. Win win situation.😀👍
I am still amazed at Yoyoka's ability to fit into Jazz so quickly, and I am still amazed at her truly limitless ability.
She has been playing Jazz for less than two years, right? How is this possible?
Every day I am thankful for the happiness of being able to watch the metamorphosis of a genius in real time.
I still remember 8 year old Yoyoka playing Led Zeppelin covers. Amazing how far you've come my friend. So good!
Or Bicycle and Happy. Cogi cogi cogi. Sp?
Never was a jazz fan but yoyoka has opened my ears.
I've never been a fan of Jazz myself, although I don't totally dislike it like Rap or that twangy country stuff. But since it was Yoyoka playing, I listened to the whole thing once.
Ken's hairdo tells us what this is all about - music! In parts they visit Steely Dan ground with beautiful tight syncopations but always move away from the commercial trail into the jungle of alternative choices. Yoyo can't miss. Her soft drumming is constantly evolving grounded in her signature feel for universal time
Good to see Yoyoka moving into jazz. The little lady has unlimited potential in music! Great video!
Ken Okada Groupには去年の夏頃から参加した映像を観たと記憶しているけど、その時はロックなドラミングだったのに半年そこらで見事なフュージョンのドラミングに変わった！とてもいいフレーズで間を埋めていると感じます♪本当に吸収力と努力が半端ないですね！
Come for Yoyoka, stay for the absolutely incredible Jazz!
Hristo Vitchev is a worldclass guitarist.
Only a few drummers have such a large and diverse repertoire as Yoyoka. She is like a self-programming drum computer. Now it is nice to see her developing her own musical identity.
If you want to rock out, or just sit back and relax Yoyoka has you you covered. A chameleon on the drums.
Just coming from "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" to this. Whew!
World class. Tastefull. Professional.great entertainment.
The opening is very 'tasty'. The whole piece is 'ear nutrition'. Very well conceived and executed changes of mood.
Great job all. 👍👍
Best Wishes, Ken Okada, YOYOKA, Ben Torres, Hristo Vitchev, Murray Low. ☮
Truly one of the best jazz performance that I ever heard. Well done and congratulation to Yoyoka of her wondeful performance
This is one of my favorites ❤🙃this isn't the first time I've said that just thought it needed repeating.😂
Yoyoka perfectly fits in "the pocket". 🙏✌️♥️
She has a bright future ahead ... and I can't wait ... ❤
That song is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a warm sunny afternoon. Great performance.
well done all, top notch guys , the prof smooooth as you like fab.
Hey Yoyoka,
I am so very impressed with The Ken Okeda Group. I think these musicians are the perfect fit for you and you all compliment each other well. I am still blown away that you are playing in a professional band of this caliber at such a young age and clearly belonging there! You never cease to amaze young lady!
I am assuming Mr. Okeda is doing the writing and arranging for his group but, others may be contributing tunes as well? Whatever the case the tunes you guys perform are great. REALLY impressed with this quintet. I look forward to the chance to catch you guys live at some point.
All my best to you and the band Yoyoka and Mr. Okeda (Mr. is warranted for putting together and leading such a dynamic group of talented musicians!).
Cheers,
Peter St. John

The wait was definitely worth it, what a beautiful piece of music of a very high level. And Yoyo who is always true to herself with confidence, aplomb and above all a beautiful finesse of play.
Everybody was killing it .enough said.😂❤
She is a great drummer.
Sending waves of love from the Florida east coast ocean to you Yoyoka and the band💦🌊🧡💦🌊💜💦🌊💖💦
I love this group! Top notch talent!
Superb!! Loved your restrained part from 1:47 under that Samba groove!
Applauding!
Incredible!
Wow, Yoyoka does jazz, I love it! (Did I hear a little Steve Gadd influence in there?)
The original core members of this group are the best.
As usual Yoyoka is a cymbal of success
Simply amazing drum work on this song!!!!!
Really good song! You guys are really tight together
Sounds great!
よよかちゃんはスティックワークが細かいのでロックだけじゃ勿体ないと思ってた‼️
アメリカはJAZZの本場だし、どんどん色んなミュージシャンとセッションして欲しい‼️
最高‼️
多分この動画何回も観る‼️
同感ですね。大規模なジャズフェスにも出演して欲しい。
よく引き合いに出されるキッズや女性ドラマーも上手いけど、よよかはなんか頭一つ出てる。
カヴァー曲でも、なんか必死こいてコピーするのではなく、一度聴いて雰囲気掴んだら自然とオリジナルに近いリズム、フレーズを叩けちゃう感じがする。
だから完コピでなくオリジナルと少し違うのだけど、またそれがイイ。
次が楽しみで仕方ない😊
Sweet YoYoka dang your tight in the pocket nice sound
才能溢れるメンバーに拍手👏！
素晴らしい音楽をありがとう！よよかにジャンルは無い、よよかというジャンルだ🥁
Nice drum tuning Yoyoka!
turning into a really solid jazz drummer. love to see it. nice tune
Excited to hear this other beautiful song
Standouts for me is the pianist and as always Yoyoka, the drummer.
Awesome! 2nd listening it's way better even than the first time.
Wow! Such an intuitive player. Love those double bass kicks she manages to work in seamlessly. Can't get the Bonham out of her.
I love it! 🤙
Bravo!!!!
Glad she's playing jazz, it's good refinement.
On the other hand, I hope she stays pretty much clear of it. It may be a chance to show off how good she is but modern jazz is - for 95% of the population - boring.
@@BenjWarrant Someone said that a world class drummer can't master every genre. But who knows what music Yoyo wants to play in 10 years?
@@BenjWarrant lol.. she is still young , there's a lot to learn. why put a limit.
@@metalkarmak Because I don't like jazz, and if she goes that way I won't be able to watch her - as I have been doping for some 5 years now.
@@BenjWarrant That's ok, I will. For the record, literally on record, she has stated that she likes funk, jazz and pop more than rock or any of it's sub-genres. And she absolutely hates metal. So, um... thanks for stopping by, cause you might be in the wrong place, my man.
*Superb!*
What a terrific group, so tight with killer chops. Thanks for the gift.
❤😂🎉🎶🎵🎹🌏🌍🌎
Amazing as always young lady.
Simply incredible drum work here.
Never heard Yoyoka play jazz fusion before. She can do anything!!! Also I didn’t know she was a reader. ❤
Learning reader she would say
Have you not listened to her playing Senri Kawaguchi's Onyx in a bar with a band? She was 7 at the time.
Woo Hoo!
YOYOKA, You've got a new subscriber in me! Keep it up!
Great job I believe I like this one best so far.❤😊
Great job, Yoyoka!!!
I see the sheet was there, but somehow, Yoyoka already knows what note needs to be played. She is truely "Heaven Sent". Beautiful playing by all. Thank You.
I hope they rewrite the score after the takes to fit what Yoyo is playing... :)
Or maybe she already is in charge of writing the drum scores?
@@magnushallin3640I am asking that question at the zoom meeting today!
@@Rob-Yule Did you get to ask?
@@magnushallin3640 it’s at 6pm EST tonight (Saturday)
@@magnushallin3640 So I asked the question “ All of the Ken Okada Group Featuring YOYOKA songs are really excellent. Does Ken create the drum 'charts' or do you (YOYOKA) create them collaboratively (with the band)?”
Like many occasions where YOYOKA is uncomfortable with praise she danced around the question, Ken writes the songs etc. but bottom line she is creating the drums to suit the band and song.
Skvěle hraješ Yoyoka 👍 rád tě poslouchám 🌟👏
カッコよき〰︎⭐️
Oh boy... leveling up now... waaaaa
Well done as always!
You keep climbing Yoyoka-san
What a band. Wow. Seems complete now with Murray. YOYOKA so at home. Able to play now in any ensemble any size. Some nice big band chops and we know from the Final Fantasy tracks full orchestra style too. When can I buy this album?
hops
Next level achieved
Another winner!
Top level, as allways
Very nice!
Yoyoka is both Young and most certainly Brave! Those drums sound incredible! How do you express amazement? I'm not surprised but impressed!
She's is a phenomenal drummer.
あえてジャンル分けするならフュージョンの香りがするスタンダード JAZZ と言う所かな。このグループはどんどんいい音楽を作っている、われらの Yoyoka の存在は偉大だ。
何だろう... キーボードの方からただものじゃないオーラみたいなものを感じるんだけど
🤨🤤😲🎼
Like a scene out of Whiplash. Expecting the piercing gaze of Terence Fletcher.
I must more like you to play rock
Nice
この演奏は久々良かったな。天才も少女関係なく良い演奏だった。上手いなこのドラムって聞こえたわ。
6月1日 EZOHUB SAPPOROへlet's go！
🤺 slashers 🗡️ dance
Lo oscuchare Señorita Yoyoka xD
If she plays jazz she will soon have the chance to catch up with Senri.
Frank Zappa
She's amazing no doubt, nice jazz chops , but is there any videos of her using the conventional stick grip instead of match grip.
yes many
Check out her cover of 50 ways to leave your lover for starters and several ofher numbers with the Ken Ocada band. You'll find a whole live set on the San Jose Jazz channel to watch.
Yes.
'Yoyoka' means 'genius' in Japanese.
しっぶ
Man, ill drop a coment rather the break the 777 😂
Yoyoka kicks ass as always .....buy what a terrible drum sound. 🤬
Fusion has nothing to do with "kick ass" and the sound fits perfectly. Also the guitarist don’t sound like Richie Blackmore.
