    I absolutely adore the way you get really into it. Contrary to most "x reacts to y" videos, you're not just giving us a lecture on technique, but you're also giving us a legit, uncut, unsupressed reaction to the MUSIC you're hearing, not just on the chops you're seeing. You surely come through as someone interested in the artform, and that reflects in the quality of your content. Also, the way you demonstrate the patterns with good old body percussion gives it all an added layer of clarity and simplicity. You, sir, have my most sincere admiration for doing a technically enlightening but still joyful analysis on the work of such great musicians.

    Jo Jo: making it look so pretty. Incredible independence, technique and touch. A dynamic player. One of the greatest.

    This is an amazing solo. You can’t find a better one. It’s not just the crazy chops either. It is so interesting, visually entertaining, rhythmic, great cymbal sounds, dynamics, etc.. there are endless numbers of guys who have mastered every rudiment on a snare. But JoJo has taken that to unbelievable musical heights.

    Jo-jo is one of my favorite drummers!!!!!!!!!.
    This guy's technique is COMPLETELY flawless. He knows exactly where he is at ALL times. I've studied his playing for years now. When I thought I'd learned the drums, I watch him....and soon realize....I've only begun👌😊. He is a talented drummer n I love to watch him play!!👍👍👌👌. Ty Carey great vid👍

    You drummers have to see this guy at a venue. I seen JoJo 4 times at very small venues and is a sight to see. You can see by Garey's reaction the energy Jojo puts out.

    • @vikinglord7252
      @vikinglord7252 4 года назад

      NERVE is the only band I've seen more than 3 times. To see his drumming right in front of you at a small venue is mind blowing. Also, they have a 4th member of the band who sits boh and mixes and applies effects to each instrument (drums included) in real time to come up with some pretty otherworldly sounds. It's pretty rare to see that kind of musicianship up close.

  • @frozenplasma7557

    You always bring a smile to my face, when I see you react to drummers pouring out their heart and soul on their drumsets.
    The way you are doing these videos really shows your love for the art.
    Would love to see you react to one of the pioneers of live d'n'b drumming, Anders Meinhardt from Denmark.

    I watched two amazing Jo Jo RUclips videos yesterday. Both were educational/instructional. He’s nearly as gifted a communicator as he is a percussionist. Conveying a complex idea in a way that makes sense to an audience while still managing to keep it interesting comes with the same smoothness as his playing. One was a Ted Talk and the other was a Percussionist Clinic. I was thinking that I’d like to see you do a reaction video on him. I wake up this morning and voila!

    Thank you Garey! To me personally Jojo Mayer's playing and skills and technique are such a revelation, as is the music that he plays with his band Nerve. I am completely sold and only listen to one playlist compiled of all the Nerve albums since years! Greetings.

    • @hombreenojado

    Thanks again for another great video. I'd love to see you react and comment to Clayton Cameron playing with Tony Bennett. He does a cool solo during the song "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing". It is from the unplugged performance that Tony Bennett did for MTV. Hopefully you can check it out and share your thoughts about it.

    Yes, Jo Jo is a killer, a monster and a magician too. I saw him at the Drummer Meeting Koblenz.
    He play an encore and at the end he show us his sticks between his hands, press his hands
    together, the sticks disappear and he throw garlands out his right hand!
    Hear also his playing with Meshell Ndegeocello: ruclips.net/video/idtkbioKcnY/видео.html

    Hi Garey.. Really enjoying your videos. Seeing JoJo Mayer using brushes so beautifully, reminded me of a great Buddy Rich arrangement called "Brush Strokes" his brush playing on this is fantastic and his use of dynamics in the track is a master class..look at the absurdly simple but brilliant way he brings the band in again after his brush solo.. too cool. may I suggest this would be a great track for you to analyze? Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/D_J4iYC3QHQ/видео.html the actual track starts around 6.10 in this video. Cheers!
