his dvd is so great. you must get it. ive had it for five months now and i watch it all the time, section by section. after 20 years of playing match grip (poorly, i admit) i switched to traditional grip (following jojo's advice) and i'm having so much fun with it. finally playing the way ive always wanted.
@voidstuff it's "open/close", also known as "push/pull". it allows the drummer to play very fast, straight notes without having to rely too much on rebound. look it up, it's crazy. i'm still trying to get the basic motions of it down.
get his dvd ... its awesome ... focuses on hand technique... i still cant play those beats, but it elevated me a level quickly just in how i make things sound
1:31 Probably the best to see Control Strokes and a "little bite" of Moeller ;). Very nice, sound. I almost get the same out of myn just i still have small problems with very fast upstrokes.
@Longboarder140 IT'S amusing his speed, I have been these past few weeks getting all those basic movements to perfection too. Have been playing rush before, till I decided that the only way to get better is to get technique. good luck
yea those are two very nice rides that arent too versitile... i like teh HH raw bell but its a bit too heavy to sound right in a lot of the stuff i play... and have you played the fierce hats they went into production in mid january and my store just got a pair last week... theyre soo sweet... they wouldent become my main hats but theyre pretty impressive...
That groove from 4:12 to the end is the same one he did at Musikmesse....its very very cool. Almost sounds like a full marching band by himself lol. watch that other vid its in the related videos section to the left. You wont be dissapointed.
caraIIIII.. o que é aquilo que ele faz no evolution hats aos 3:49????? essa sinceramente nunca tinha visto srsrs .. e ainda tem gente que diz que o Jojo mayer nao eras hahha .. abração a galera fã dele e da sabian!
The camera is doing what its supposed to. Adjusting to loud noises so that they don't sound like shit. And adjusting to quieter noises so you can hear them better. But about the video: Hes got the best hand technique ever. Holy shit @ 3:50
its not a push pull. On his dvd he explains it as more an extremely scaled down molar pumping motion but instead of moving your whole arm you just move your thumb. Very similar to a push pull but more refined and economic allowing for even faster playing.
of course HHs sound like Ks, The Sabian plant in Meductic is where North American Ks were made until the Zildjian brothers split the company in the early 80s. If there's a ton of similarities between the two companies, it's because they are essentially the same company.
actually i have... i work at a music store and have tried pretty much every sabian, zildjian cymbal made for sale... and a good few paiste... and i can still say some of the signatures and all of teh HHX and some AAX are the only better sounding cymbals... HH sound exactly like K zils and AA sounds like bastarized A customs/avedis things... but have you heard the new vault crossover ride... best general ride ever made in history... i will definitely concede to that...
yeah i know he looks soooooooo tired. But what i mean is that Sabian must give him the most money so he would stick with them even if he really didnt like the cymbals
...and to think that millions of kids out there believe travis barker is the best drummer in the world. its a sad sad world out there. jojo is in my opinion the most versatile drummer in the world.
@1Drummer88 mabye not in this vid, but go ask any 15-25 year old who the best drummer in the world is. I bet a large number of those people would mention travis barker. One of the big reasons for that is people don't really have a basis of comparison, all they know is what they hear on the radio. Remember, I'm not accounting for every soul in the world, just the mass general public. So go give it a shot, you soon see that what I say is true.
sometimes in the way he introduces his cymbals it seems like he doesnt really like them. He seemed only like he liked the high pitched cymbal. Maybe he just hates Sabian and is just stuck with them cuz he is an endorser and makes a lot of money that way. Well Zildjian all the way!!
original zildjian team?... zildjians first foundry was in 1623... the founder of sabian was started by one of the sons in the zildjian family... he wasnt supposed to have the formula since he wasnt first born and the father was worried about losing the formula in WWII so he passed it down to both of them... but the second son ran off with it and made sabians... sabian cymbals are bad zildjian knockoffs by a blood traitor... the only respectable cymbals are HHX and signature series...

My favorite drummer. Hands down. Amazing!!

I love how he uses the picante hand crash, very interesting sound. sounds like it's kinda loud too, even though he says it isn't.
His DVD is a key for a universe of drumming and help me so much, buy it...

It is push pull technique, developed to a very high level. There are loads of tutorial vids on youtube, just make sure you find a good one.
Jojo..my hero!!
@Longboarder140 IT'S amusing his speed, I have been these past few weeks getting all those basic movements to perfection too. Have been playing rush before, till I decided that the only way to get better is to get technique. good luck
3:50 to 3:53. That is so amazing technique wise. Geeze, imagine having that chop!!
yea those are two very nice rides that arent too versitile... i like teh HH raw bell but its a bit too heavy to sound right in a lot of the stuff i play...
and have you played the fierce hats they went into production in mid january and my store just got a pair last week... theyre soo sweet... they wouldent become my main hats but theyre pretty impressive...
yeaaaaaaaaaa that fucking hi hat is flawless and his drumming!!!!!
Jojo is the man!
That groove from 4:12 to the end is the same one he did at Musikmesse....its very very cool. Almost sounds like a full marching band by himself lol. watch that other vid its in the related videos section to the left. You wont be dissapointed.

But about the video: Hes got the best hand technique ever. Holy shit @ 3:50
3:50 blows me the fuck away really!!!
what is that crazy hand technique???
its not a push pull. On his dvd he explains it as more an extremely scaled down molar pumping motion but instead of moving your whole arm you just move your thumb. Very similar to a push pull but more refined and economic allowing for even faster playing.
At 3:50 his hand technique is incredible!
i love the sound of that signature crash
JoJo's foot at 3:00 makes me want to cry. For a second I forgot he doesn't use double bass.
his crash cymbals sound so nice =]
I love Push-Pull Technique, Perfectly made for those sixteenth note Beats.
3:50 his right hand is moving the thumb to do the quick beats! wow
is that a known technique ?
holy shit at 3:50 the hi hats going damn fast, a one handed roll?
of course HHs sound like Ks, The Sabian plant in Meductic is where North American Ks were made until the Zildjian brothers split the company in the early 80s. If there's a ton of similarities between the two companies, it's because they are essentially the same company.
The fact, that the guy at 0'19 is wearing a Meinl Bag is Epic!
3:49 is so sick cool job man!
the first cymbal he does the 'extreme chinese cymbal' what is it's technical name?
OMG i lovethis guy ♥w♥
That house-beat he did at 4:28.. wow!
@andrevth
I love Jo Jo. His playing is to tasty. I agree that little pattern at 3:50 is smoking and he does it with no effort. WoW!
you would think with all the money that sabian has they could get a better camera that would allow to hear jojo after a cymbal is hit.
come on!
SABIAN RULES
have any of you noticed that at 0:58 it sounds sorta like the intro to eyeless by slipknot lol
16 inch extreme chinese. he goes between that and an 18 at times but thats the 16 cause thats his nerve kit
actually i have... i work at a music store and have tried pretty much every sabian, zildjian cymbal made for sale... and a good few paiste... and i can still say some of the signatures and all of teh HHX and some AAX are the only better sounding cymbals... HH sound exactly like K zils and AA sounds like bastarized A customs/avedis things...
but have you heard the new vault crossover ride... best general ride ever made in history... i will definitely concede to that...
i love his hi hat and ride.
3.50, wow, I begin to learn that now, but takes a while. to moore month
sorry for my english
jojo is soo fucking good
love it
shiet... 3:50, amazing. sounds like 16th note(s) or faster in just one hand, but one thing's for sure, i can't do that shit..
I love the guy just watching in the background.. very scary..
ANYWHO, Jojos the man!
who does jojo mayer play for? or is he a solo artist?
@piperpilot26 no I have seen maaany people that plays this things really easy. People that ISN'T FAMOUS. But this guy is still really good!
Pre-clinic smoke then :)
What I'm getting at is JOJO IS THE MAN! Not because he smokes though, that sucks.
totally totally agree
cool dude
i know. i have the dvd too. O_o
yeah i know he looks soooooooo tired. But what i mean is that Sabian must give him the most money so he would stick with them even if he really didnt like the cymbals
yes
I will thanks.
He looks exhausted in the.....vid....and I want that ride and his hi-hats but they're like $400 each!!!
this is when they are setting up
...and to think that millions of kids out there believe travis barker is the best drummer in the world. its a sad sad world out there. jojo is in my opinion the most versatile drummer in the world.
he can still deliver the goods even when he looks a little ill n worn out.
@1Drummer88 mabye not in this vid, but go ask any 15-25 year old who the best drummer in the world is. I bet a large number of those people would mention travis barker.

I think jojo is the modern day Buddy Rich
he is one of my fav. drummers
but in this video he looks kinda strange
lol push pul technique. something youd have to practice for a while.
sometimes in the way he introduces his cymbals it seems like he doesnt really like them. He seemed only like he liked the high pitched cymbal. Maybe he just hates Sabian and is just stuck with them cuz he is an endorser and makes a lot of money that way. Well Zildjian all the way!!
the buddy rich of this generation...
OMG
Good circus drummer...
he looks a little smoked out...
the hats are drier and heavier in person than what they look and sound on the website and in videos
god i want that crash!!
i could live just with those cymbals :D
but its such a better sounding phrase than... guy in the family that ran away and made his own company and settled the lawsuit... haha
He's probably finished and just wants to go for a smoke :P
3:50 ... wtf
Who cares about anyone's looks? Women are to look at and be pretty, guys do the cool shit
@KimsCS124 I pee in the kichen sink to keep my toilet from getting dirty....
@chilly2829
he smokes cigarettes
He's god :D
original zildjian team?... zildjians first foundry was in 1623... the founder of sabian was started by one of the sons in the zildjian family... he wasnt supposed to have the formula since he wasnt first born and the father was worried about losing the formula in WWII so he passed it down to both of them... but the second son ran off with it and made sabians... sabian cymbals are bad zildjian knockoffs by a blood traitor... the only respectable cymbals are HHX and signature series...
I wonder how much sleep he is on right now. He looks like a zombie in this video.
i always thought he was an ugly ass drummer but hes good
A "blood traitor"..? Are you kidding me? Is this a matter of life and death? Don´t get melodramatic, please..
