I can't take credit for it but I think the best review of Yoyoka's drumming came from the guy who said: "I wish our drummer would quit so Yoyoka could join our band. And I'm the drummer."
Hi Yoyoka I am a Drum Instructor for The School of Rock In California Just wanted to tell you that was PERFECT!!!!! note for note PERFECT!!! great job!!! :) :) :)
Don Brewer's touring drum tech confirmed somewhere on here that she did perfectly nail it. Most music child prodigies play piano, violin, cello, etc whilst Yoyoka blows away that stereotype with her ability on the skins. I'm looking forward to seeing where she'll be musically ten years from now when she'll be 21. 🥁
As the war in Israel heats up it was a good thing to remember this video of the nine year old joy bomb named Yoyoka. When life seems too crazy to believe, I watch this video and remember it is not all bad. This, then child, now budding woman, proves that. Happy fourteenth birthday Yoyoka.
Exactly, you cannot ignore the natural talent, but its the joy that takes to "11". It cannot be taught. It cannot be captured. She has it. Everyone else wants it.
I've been a drummer for many years and I just discovered Yoyoka recently. I love this kid, I swear, the first time I see her do a gravity blast I will surrender my soul to the Universe. Keep it up Yoyoka, you are destined to be the percussion goddess the prophecy has promised....
Jaime Pacheco I love this kid too but please please never surrender your soul! I realize you were exaggerating slightly but your soul is eternal. Choose Jesus. God bless you
Please Jeff, Never Surrender your Soul to the universe...Our Heavenly Father created the earth and everything in it!...SURRENDER TO JESUS CHRIST ONLY!! Much Love to You Sweetheart
@@patiencelove8008 : Perhaps your theosophical stance has changed in the past 3 yrs, but if not - what does "Never Surrender your Soul to the universe" have to do with "Our Heavenly Father created the earth and everything in it!"? Is the earth not part of the universe🤷♀️?? Please explain .
Both what an incredible talent. Great god almighty what is she gonna be like at twenty!!! Keith Moon and John Bonham someone is about to grab your titles!! Im sure they would both love her! Shes 10 and already heading to be the best rock drummer who ever lived!!
元気が出ないときに聞きます。何回聞いても聞くたびに感動して、勇気をもらって気分がリフレッシュします。他に思い浮かばないほど歯切れの良さが心地よい演奏！I will listen when I am not feeling well. I've heard it many times, but every time I feel encouraged and refreshed. This performance has crispness and comfort that no other music has!
THAT SMILE That is what playing rock n roll is SUPPOSED to look like!
4 года назад+17
I've watched this one more times than I can count, and this little girl has more personality in her little finger than most of these other older female drummers.
@@jossdionne9810 you gotta give even more props to Mark though, because not only was he playing the drums, but he was singing the song at the same time 😊
Jimbo 0117 . Very true! I have a friend (a tiny guy, almost as small as her...kidding) who does most of the singing in his band while drumming it away. It amazed me, also.
Damn!!! This little girl is so adorable!! I have never been this impressed in my life.. The intensity in which she plays... The smiles.... The accuracy.... The pure talent... Nailing this song, as well as others she does, with such ease and fluidity.. My God!!! Absolutely incredible... Keep on rockin' little one!!! You've made my day!!
I totally agree with you. Such skill, timing, coordination and performing ability. I never had a favorite drummer till this young lady. A joy to listen to and watch .
As a drummer myself I see every fiber of her being is playing the drums, is part of the music…… I believe Yoyoka love for music is so strong that I believe she is a savant….. With today’s technology, she could literally be the only member of her band. I don’t know what her singing is, but you don’t always have to sing in a song.
So much power for such a small person. Her kick drum technique and the way she whips the sticks for maximum power for minimal effort is beyond incredible.
I get what you're saying (and I agree with you) because Yoyoka is my absolute favorite. She is an awesome talent! But you need to also check out JUNNA. Most ENTERTAINING drummer in the world. Another Japanese Girl that is an awesome player. Her facial expressions and energy will floor you. She hits the drums like they owe her money. I hit the floor when she starts on the drum pedals because I think a machine gun is going off. I love them both for different reasons. Reaction videos to her a similar to Yoyoka. Their jaws just drop and they don't know what to saw. For both girls. ruclips.net/video/rBPjoNzvqcE/видео.html
Yoyoka, I was having a bad morning here in Citrus Heights, California..after seeing your precious happy smiling face I'm happy too!! Thank you my dear amazing drumming rabbit girl!! 🙏✌🥁🎵🎶🐰👯♀️ Oh..by the way, you are music and the best rabbit drummer girl in the world!! 😋 Yoyoka needs a seat belt, she's ready launch into rock and roll space!! Power drummer girl!!! Yay!!!
@@JayMS916 Yay, Sacramento. It would be awesome if she plays here with a great rock and roll band... maybe Frank Hannon and Billy Raney..two very good guitar players. They both are playing at the Boardwalk in Orangevale on Nov. 16th. I'm going to see my buddy play. 🎸🎶🎵🥁👯♀️✌
totally!! the hair flips...gritty open-mouth head bangin'?? it's amazing...her presence behind her kit can't be taught..she's totally feeling the groove!
JOY BOMB, JOY BOMB, JOY BOMB. Just like so many folk have said, whenever I am feeling a bit low, Yoyoka's pure happiness as she plays always lifts me. her skill is amazing, but it's that joy that kills my blues. Having entered her teen years now, she is naturally becoming a little more stoic and serious. Yet now and then she shows you that she still has a childlike energy inside as she plays. Her amazing skill is self-evident, as is her optimism. This planet could use more Yoyoka.
Exactly！When I'm depressed or frustrated, her performance encouraged me! By the way ,Grand Funk Railroad has been the undercard of LED ZEPPELIN once This time around,Nostalgic episode！
Yoyoka is clearly gifted, and also puts in the work practicing, so kudos to her and to her family for encouraging her, but also - and I think this gets mentioned less often - kudos to them for raising her in an environment of such great music?? I was born early enough that my childhood covered all of the 1970s, the whole ten-year-long kit and caboodle of it, so to me this music is my childhood because it’s what was in the air, playing everywhere or blasting out the windows of folks’ Volkswagen Beetles, Thunderbirds, and vans, from their radios, 8-tracks, or (later) cassette decks… but this family must’ve gone out of their way to play music with great drumming for Yoyoka, and kudos to them for it!
FYI.. in one of her vids where she is playing drums with another teenage drummer, he asked her about how much she practices. Yoyoka replied that "I am lazy and don't like practicing. I practice maybe 30 min a day, an hour or so when learning a new song." Needless to say the teenage drummer was shocked! She also doesn't know how to read music. She truly is a prodigy, exceptionally gifted.
Oh! She also states in other videos that at the age of 2, listening to the Beatles started her love of drumming. She cites being hooked on Ringo Starr. Her parents are musicians and they would have friends over to jam.
I've watched a few Yoyoka interview videos, and interviews with her parents. Her parents say Yoyoka finds some of her favourite music herself. They said she started drumming to Led Zeppelin, at about 7yo, and they didn't recognise it. She was self-taught from 2yo to 9yo. Also, her parents and Yoyoka both say she was only allowed to practice 30 minutes/day until she reached 9yo. Her parents wanted her to grow up as a normal kid. 👏 So she got this good, while her body grew, I guess, about 50% as she developed coordination, strength and speed. All the while learning how to make friendships, speak, read, ride a bike, and handle getting a younger brother. Plus, she has the 'ear' and ability to find Led Zeppelin, and other music, herself! 👍😂 Key to her life are her wonderful parents, family and their friends. Her parents are musicians, so she was hearing live music before she was born. She says they live in a rural part of Japan, so they can make lots of noise. 😃They have a home studio where her parents' band would practice. Plus her parents put musical instruments in most rooms. So even before she could walk, she'd experienced live music. I think children (anyone!) react to live music and musical instruments more viscerally than reproduced music.
Man what a free loose swing 👏👏👏🤪with a smile to boot 🥾😎😎😎👏👏👏👍🏻🥂not easy to stay in the pocket on a cover...that’s impressive 👏👏👏actually this is so much more than just copying the original....she has a real joy and feel for the song that she infuses her performance with and you get lifted up by her energy and joy 😎
Yoyoka... She DEFINITELY put the ROCK in Rock and Roll! I just LOVE her expressions. She's having such a blast playing some of the best music ever! Zep, Cream, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Stray Cats, Rush, Jamiroquai... GEEZ... She covered So many great songs and NAILED EVERY ONE of them!!! I LOVE this kid! 😀
I love the full swing of the sticks.. and she is actually doing what everyone does in their car when playing air drums.. facial expressions and everything else.
@@jossdionne9810 No it's not. Someone there knows how to mic a drum set and is using quality microphones. There may be some basic adjustments with EQ, sound levels and reverb that any drum recording would use, but that is all IMHO.
I’m older now, have heard all of this music she drums to for decades and her timing is impeccable, making it more incredible that she is a child. Her parents must be proud.
I recommend you to look at this at half speed. Then you can see all the finesses yoyoka does. All those intricate rhythmic stuff and all the ghost notes. It is magic. You can even see how the hands times with the footwork. Scary stuff!!
I can't stop watching this Girl !!!!! The most "IN TUNE " perfect drummer I've " EVER " heard !!!!!!!!!!! Seeing her play is THE BIGGEST THRILL I KNOW !!!!! Un-FUCKING BELIEVABLE !!!!!!
I love this little girl she rocks, Im 59 started playing drums when I was 5 and she can teach me a thing or two. every time I see her play her big smile transfers over to me. what an inspiration she is.
Biggest mistake I ever made was to give up playing at age 62. I stunk but it gave me much joy just to play. Watching her I almost want to play again as I am sure I could learn so much from her to make me a much better drummer.
She beats those drums unlike many others who "tap" the skins......and doesn't miss a beat....The smile on her face brings a smile to mine every time I see her covering another song/band.....
You'd be amazed at what one can do, when they start at the age of two. Her playing is so natural and effortless. She is basically at one with the drums. She has no limits. Whatever she hears in her head, she's able to play it.
out of curiosity, I looked and listened to one of the original live Grand funk you tube videos, quite honestly her rendition is technically superior to that particular Don Brewer version, with more complex fills , And the no look back handed cymbal crash was precious. Her groove is un stoppable, what a sense of time.
Sounds to me like you are admitting 9 years old girl is playing better than Don who is an adult and god knows how many years of experience he has playing drum. 9 years old girl who has less than 9 years of experience playing drum (likely less than 6 years or so experience of playing drum). Oh yeah, she is just playing drum.
@@THINKNOTHING Sounds like your making excuses for the guy. Open your ears and listen yourself, recently she did a song with Cindy Lauper in Tokyo, live on stage and presented an excellent drum solo and went on to out energize the tour drummer. Yes she is only 10, but look at what she has accomplished already in her short life. Maybe we should teach her to sing so there are no excused.
The backhand crash seems to be a signature move for her. I've seen it in other covers she's done. I don't recall many, if any, other drummers using a casual backhand.
Wow the intro part with the bass foot has that same triples thing Bonham did in Good Times Bad Times and this little 9 year old girl does it effortlessly. I'm 64 and been playing drums on and off for 40 years and I can't do that! Lol. You're amazing Yoyoka!!!
As our Rock stars continue to pass away the children of the world show us that Rock is not dead. Thank you Yoyoka. That was spectacular!
Glen Rivara Truly spectacular, Great spirit alive!!
She's awesome. Gifted drummer, always happy. I pray she does all she wants. 🙏🏻💖
Rock and Roll will never die!!!
Dam I wish I said that on the fist comment.that was the best way to put it,rock n roll going to be all right its in good hands my brother
Glen Rivara absolutely damn straight !
If ever you find yourself in need of a smile, just watch Yoyoka.
GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES も感心したけど、この時代を原体験した、じじいとしては、開いた口がふさがらないとゆうか、笑うしかありません。
the precision of a Swiss watch with the joy of a girl opening presents at Christmas. Wonderful
Best description of her drumming that I've ever read. Thank you.
７０年代ロック魂の継承者。しかも９歳のオンナの子。嬉し過ぎでした。頑張れ、よよかchan！
I can't take credit for it but I think the best review of Yoyoka's drumming came from the guy who said:
"I wish our drummer would quit so Yoyoka could join our band. And I'm the drummer."
Hahaha that's great
Priceless man you rock
Classic
😂😂 I've seen a LOT of drumkits for sale in her RUclips comments
Awesome!!!!
I could watch her all day. Brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I feel this!
It's weird, but I actually kind of well up watching her videos. I can't explain it.
Absolutely. You can feel the gift. She's got it.
Feel the same way. Beautiful kid.
And amazingly talented.
Way too impressive she's awesome.
Can we just appreciate her parents for a moment?

ロックの神様ついてる、これは
いいなあ～。女の子にこんなことを言うのは失礼かもしれないが、よよかちゃんの演奏は「男前！」なんだよね。
テクニックはあるんだけどストロークが大きくて一打一打をズドンと鳴らすのが私が求めるロックのイメージとどんぴしゃマッチしてて、聴いてて爽快この上ないです。Keep on rocking！
This girl can JAM and loves every minute of it.
何回見ても終盤のシンバルの乱打ちはかっこ良すぎてうっとり！一打一打タメを作って加速しながら打ち鳴らしてるから最大のパワーがシンバルに伝わっているって感じ！天性のタイミングと手首の使い方だろうね！今は更に凄くなっているけど。
She had the whole show and it's a natural fact.
hehe
And she proceeded to tear the whole house down...
Good one!
Yoyoka is the difference between someone learning the drums and someone being born with sticks in their hands!
Having a bad day? Watch this little princess drumming your blues away. That's what a doctor should prescribes to all during this pandemic season
Rock n Roll is not dead ...... There's still hope.
日本ではハードロックをやってくれる若者があまりいない中本当に嬉しくなりました。

I love how after the song she's a cute little girl again.
Cutest badass drummer EVER: :D
Alan N Exactly! I hope she doesn't stop doing that
Exactly, she goes from little girl to beast mode and back again in a split second.
I agree but she didn't exactly turn into some hairy, "Bonham Beast" while playing, either.
@@saxon1177 No but she does have a stank face when she rocks out on this cover
Who is having more fun? Yoyoka playing drums OR all of us watching Yoyoka play drums?
Not entirely sure really. I was asking the same question myself just recently :)
I can say I watch this probably everyday. It makes me happy to see the joy on her face. Plus it's an awesome song..
Both?
Both what an incredible talent. Great god almighty what is she gonna be like at twenty!!!
Keith Moon and John Bonham someone is about to grab your titles!! Im sure they would both love her!
Shes 10 and already heading to be the best rock drummer who ever lived!!
Both, definitely. There is no "or" in this case.
演奏は当然素晴らしいんだけど、体から溢れるノリノリ感が良いスパイスになってて最高❗
That was so awesome 👌 69 yr.old fan , true talent ! You go girl
元気が出ないときに聞きます。何回聞いても聞くたびに感動して、勇気をもらって気分がリフレッシュします。他に思い浮かばないほど歯切れの良さが心地よい演奏！I will listen when I am not feeling well. I've heard it many times, but every time I feel encouraged and refreshed. This performance has crispness and comfort that no other music has!
The joy on her face is priceless.
のりがナチュラルで気持ちいい🎵 しかも重くて正確 今でも素晴らしいが、将来世界レベルのドラマーになること間違いなし‼️
4年前の貴殿の予想が的中しつつありますね、2年前に音楽のためにアメリカ移住をしてからその加速度がついているように思います。ご両親は公務員の仕事を辞めてまでの移住はかなりの迷いが有ったそうですが本人の強い意志を尊重したそうですが今では後悔が無いと思います。
返信ありがとうございます。少し前におすすめ動画にアメリカでの演奏があがってきた時、やっぱりねーと思いました。家族で移住されたんですね。しかもあの時期に。決意を感じますね。シビアな世界だとおもいますが、負けずに頑張ってほしいです。人の縁に恵まれるといいですね。@@koma-1122

That is what playing rock n roll is SUPPOSED to look like!
I've watched this one more times than I can count, and this little girl has more personality in her little finger than most of these other older female drummers.
他の曲でもそうだけど、Yoyokaちゃんのバスドラペダルさばきが素晴らしい。（もちろん全部凄いんだけど）3連打とかシンコペーションのテクニックがあんな小さい足から出てくるのが信じられない。
Back for more...again. I never get tired of going back into these earlier covers.

I’ve said that at least 10 times 🤣
Lol
Ladies and gentlemen this is how you KILL it.
She looks like she’s having an absolute blast play this. So fun to watch her. Keep it up please.
I have no idea how many times Ive watched this cover by Yoyoka but I do know how many times I have enjoyed it. Every freakin' time!!!
I'm on like view 10 over the past week or two. She really got into this one. Like someone else commented, "I feel sorry for that Snare drum."
Hello from Toronto Yoyoka🤗. We love you in Canada and if you ever come here please get up and play with my band.
She is so in tune with every bands energy she covers --- just an amazing talent.
人って完璧なものに接すると言葉を亡くすね。この曲は高校生のときにHeartbreakerに次いで知った曲だけどこのドラミングは完璧！Perfect！
Techniqueはもちろん、叩いているときの表情もPerfect！
こんなに楽しそうに
とってもキュートで
それでいてパワフルで
全てが完璧で…
もう言葉が見付からない‼️凄い‼️
As a drummer myself I see every fiber of her being is playing the drums, is part of the music……
I believe Yoyoka love for music is so strong that I believe she is a savant…..
With today’s technology, she could literally be the only member of her band. I don’t know what her singing is, but you don’t always have to sing in a song.
Yoyoka makes veteran drummers look so stale but i still love a few of'um. I think the professors spirit is inside her. 👍✌
So much power for such a small person. Her kick drum technique and the way she whips the sticks for maximum power for minimal effort is beyond incredible.
67 jealous guys who wish they could play this good. Rock on child!!! Made my day
I don't believe I've ever seen a drummer who enjoys the instrument more than she does. Love her smile! :-)

よよか ちゃん4歳？だったかな？かねあいバンドのライブでビートルズを演奏してた時のRUclipsで初めて
よよか ちゃんのドラムを聴いて、、、、っつうか、まさかドラムが4歳の女の子(ドラムセットに埋もれてよく見えない)って、、、、、、、、。
ドラムの神が小ちゃな天使に宿ったみたいな衝撃。
それ以来 よよか ちゃんのドラムが自分の中では最高なのです。
Man what a free loose swing 👏👏👏🤪with a smile to boot 🥾😎😎😎👏👏👏👍🏻🥂not easy to stay in the pocket on a cover...that’s impressive 👏👏👏actually this is so much more than just copying the original....she has a real joy and feel for the song that she infuses her performance with and you get lifted up by her energy and joy 😎
Couldnt agree more. All her covers and original songs have that effect.
アップありがとう😆💕✨。 グランドフワンク✨。(笑)
何が来るか、仰天！ このチョイス読めなかったなぁ～。
次も、ドキドキ期待して待っています。🙏
Yoyoka... She DEFINITELY put the ROCK in Rock and Roll! I just LOVE her expressions. She's having such a blast playing some of the best music ever! Zep, Cream, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Stray Cats, Rush, Jamiroquai... GEEZ... She covered So many great songs and NAILED EVERY ONE of them!!! I LOVE this kid! 😀
I love the full swing of the sticks.. and she is actually doing what everyone does in their car when playing air drums.. facial expressions and everything else.
She definitely has the rock star faces while she is playing! All the greatest musicians have it!
Saw Grand Funk in 1975 and Don Brewer's kit didn't sound nearly this good. You've made my day with selection.
I had every album and you're right!
It is somehow going through sound enhancement hitech systems...
@@jossdionne9810 No it's not. Someone there knows how to mic a drum set and is using quality microphones. There may be some basic adjustments with EQ, sound levels and reverb that any drum recording would use, but that is all IMHO.
Sound no better or worse to my ears.
Major kudos to her parents for going all in on their support of her passions and dreams.
I’m older now, have heard all of this music she drums to for decades and her timing is impeccable, making it more incredible that she is a child. Her parents must be proud.
I'm definitely proud of her!!!!
I recommend you to look at this at half speed. Then you can see all the finesses yoyoka does. All those intricate rhythmic stuff and all the ghost notes. It is magic. You can even see how the hands times with the footwork. Scary stuff!!
I can't stop watching this Girl !!!!! The most "IN TUNE " perfect drummer I've " EVER " heard !!!!!!!!!!! Seeing her play is THE BIGGEST THRILL I KNOW !!!!! Un-FUCKING BELIEVABLE !!!!!!
I love this girl, she always looks so happy to play...I have seen all her videos, zeppelin my favorites but want to hear her version of wipeout
@@callowbastard11 Sina Does a Real Good Wipeout... They are the Only Drummers i Fallow for a Few Years now.. Both are Amazing..
オールドハードロックが本当に好きなんですね。よく探し拾いますね。のりが良いですね。
I love this little girl she rocks, Im 59 started playing drums when I was 5 and she can teach me a thing or two. every time I see her play her big smile transfers over to me. what an inspiration she is.
この曲は毎日特別に何回も聴いています！世界が苦しんでいるときに勇気を与えてくれます！ハッピーになれます！何と激しく、何と心地よいのでしょう！今までたくさん音楽聞きましたがこんなドラムの音は初めてです。世界の100人の偉大なドラマーの誰も真似できない！
And here she's nine..... holy crap. Sending my love and support from Houston Texas USA.
She is just amazing.
凄い❗よよかちゃん44年前に名古屋市公会堂でのグランドファンクのライブ2階の立ち見席で18歳の私はドン・ブリューワーの、すざまじいドラムィングは今でも脳裡に焼き付いてます。よよかちゃんにも見せてやりたかったと思う程ドン・ブリューワーのドラムは今まで見たドラマーのなかでナンバーワンです。その再現ドラムを見てるようなよよかちゃんのパワフルなドラムは逆にドン・ブリューワーに見せてやりたいな👍
Biggest mistake I ever made was to give up playing at age 62. I stunk but it gave me much joy just to play. Watching her I almost want to play again as I am sure I could learn so much from her to make me a much better drummer.
That was just as good for the 100th time as it was the first time I saw her cover.
I can't stop coming back to this performance. It is so darn good. I also read the new comments to see people's reactions.
She beats those drums unlike many others who "tap" the skins......and doesn't miss a beat....The smile on her face brings a smile to mine every time I see her covering another song/band.....
You'd be amazed at what one can do, when they start at the age of two. Her playing is so natural and effortless. She is basically at one with the drums. She has no limits. Whatever she hears in her head, she's able to play it.
She plays with such power and authority so well as anyone male or female at any age.
Not only is she really talented, she has great taste in picking the
music
out of curiosity, I looked and listened to one of the original live Grand funk you tube videos, quite honestly her rendition is technically superior to that particular Don Brewer version, with more complex fills , And the no look back handed cymbal crash was precious. Her groove is un stoppable, what a sense of time.
I noticed that little back handed cymbal crash too. Just so casual and confident.
Yes she is good but you have to remember Don had to sing the song too.
Sounds to me like you are admitting 9 years old girl is playing better than Don who is an adult and god knows how many years of experience he has playing drum. 9 years old girl who has less than 9 years of experience playing drum (likely less than 6 years or so experience of playing drum). Oh yeah, she is just playing drum.
@@THINKNOTHING Sounds like your making excuses for the guy. Open your ears and listen yourself, recently she did a song with Cindy Lauper in Tokyo, live on stage and presented an excellent drum solo and went on to out energize the tour drummer. Yes she is only 10, but look at what she has accomplished already in her short life. Maybe we should teach her to sing so there are no excused.
The backhand crash seems to be a signature move for her. I've seen it in other covers she's done. I don't recall many, if any, other drummers using a casual backhand.
Wow the intro part with the bass foot has that same triples thing Bonham did in Good Times Bad Times and this little 9 year old girl does it effortlessly. I'm 64 and been playing drums on and off for 40 years and I can't do that! Lol. You're amazing Yoyoka!!!
This kid makes me cry with joy every time I watch her play.
