The word Genius should not be used too often. Yoyoka is a Genius. How can anyone explain how she is able to perform to such an incredibly sophisticated and incredibly disciplined and yet instinctive level? Just Genius.
Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaa, daddy
She has all the tremendous skill of a classically trained drummer.
Her exposure to include the discipline to learn to read music and go to a exclusive specialized art and music school in the USA, her drive to practice and thirst for showing her pride and joy learning is the world's gift, and she is soaking in all the sun.
Yoyoka's gotten to the point where I KNOW that I just don't understand how good she is. I can only sit back and try to take it all in.
When she/they posted last week on her Instagram about this video coming out, she said this is the hardest song she has learned so far, but now she plays it like she's been gigging with Sting.
She said 6 weeks it took - of course that is on top of her busy gigging schedule and school grade 7 and high school!
Wave…this is Sting, solo. Not The Police. Drummer, the incomparable Vinnie Colaiuta. Like Copeland was. And Yoyoka is 👏👏👏
Vinnie is my favorite drummer. Makes sense he was on this.
Yoyoka is amazing. I've been watching her for about 5 years now. Just when I think, "She couldn't possibly get any better. . .", she finds a new level to master. Her ability is now so advanced that it is difficult to take it all in at the rate she is performing. You have to watch multiple times to fully understand and appreciate everything she is doing, all at the same time.
Vinnie C. (Sorry, I don't know how to spell his last name.) is the drummer that recorded the original with Sting. I don't believe that Yoyoka and Vinnie have ever played together in actuality, but that would certainly be something to see.
I especially enjoy watching you, watching Yoyoka. You often highlight and explain details that I've missed. I'm not a drummer, or musician at all, so I do appreciate your insightful explanations. As much as I appreciate Yoyoka's work, your videos help me to more fully understand and appreciate what I'm seeing.
Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge with the rest of us.
Takes at least 20 watches for it to sink in for me. Gets better and better each time.
Vincent Peter Colaiuta is an American drummer known for his technical mastery who has worked as a session musician in many genres. He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1996 and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2014. Colaiuta has won one Grammy Award and has been nominated twic
Right hand is 4/4, left hand is 5/4, right foot is 7/4, left foot is 6/8, head is bobbing.
Not sure how you worked that out, but you're not right. The entire groove is in 5/4
@@magnum793 it was a joke
@@glenkelley6799 Timing is everything.
Check out Ellen plays bass summer jam for yoyoka and Ellen playing together. Fun video !!
This is so stunning I had to get you on it right away. I listened to this for hours after it came out! Your face says it all!
Great call Rob. When I saw Yoyoka on my home page, I went and made some food first so hunger wouldn't distract me. _Then_ Wave popped up on her "Next" final screen. So I "hot footed it here".
Best Wishes. ☮
I consider Vinnie to be my favorite drummer. I have followed Yoyoka for years, and am so glad she has now covered Colouta. It’s fantastic, amazing, a treat.
Thanks for doing this. Yoyoka is really amazing. Love the way she plays and her drumming brain is out of this world. Can’t wait to see what she produces in future!
I was totally blown away🤯 That dynamics and accuracy during the chorus...it's just next level good. I'm speechless in here. Thank you for sharing this🤘
I watched this this morning, and just laughed, and laughed. This is getting ridiculous.
All of Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales is a masterpiece. That CD got me through countless study and listening sessions in college.
I just bought it - cause of Yoyoka! Wonder if Sting will give her a cut ...
It’s so great - her pocket is as good as anyone and her sound and touch are special. So chill too
I love Yoyoka because it's so natural.
That's what it's all about. She reached jellyfish level of naturalness a few years ago and now she's an utter virtuoso on top of that natural foundation. Once in a century phenomenon if she keeps this up.
@@ThePallidor And we have yet to see her really struggle through any performance. Focus - yes. Struggle? Not yet.
Vinnie Colaiuta is the drummer. My favorite Sting song.
I was looking forward to your reaction, Wave. If you told me this was Vinnie Colaiuta playing I wouldn’t think twice. She’s on her way to being the best session drummer ever. (It’s a 5/4 with a 6+2+2 pattern, which gives it that nice smooth propulsion. Bartók uses this kind of ambiguity a lot.)
And she makes it look like a walk in the park!
You can Tell she's happy she knows she's nailing it
She's a professional drummer and music proffessor
She is an artist with an incomprehensible intricate and rich canvas. I was blown when I watched it on her channel, just had to watch here it came up. Its like she is setting a stage of self coordinating autonomous creations of energy that hang in the air where triggers them. This is inconceivable!!
She also can do double kick on the bass on single pedal, that is mind blowing
The incomparable Vinnie... I too was amazed at the transition happening at minute 6:30-6:35 that also left you speechless, dear Wave Potter. You could write a book about this. Thank you for your review as I didn't catch all the nuance in her playing until you pointed it out. Thank You!
Dear Wave Potter, please review this next edition? It may send you over the edge. ruclips.net/video/50xL4ijaLJ4/видео.html
Really amazing. She makes it so easy.
This was utterly masterful.
I think she's also getting a little something from the jazz music she's been working with
Brother, you are the best reaction on RUclips. First off, your musicianship is top shelf. I play guitar. We all know she’s a Miracle. So entertaining to watch your reactions. Thanks for taking the time.
The another Amazing... from her is that opening & ending "Cute Moving" are never changes... although he became more adult... that cuteness... its feels like even more hhe...
Nice reaction Wave! Even though I am not a drummer, it seems Yoyo is already in the upper stratosphere of the drumming community, as she can replicate and/or improve upon the most difficult drum parts ever known, and she is continually improving by leaps and bounds.
Her abilities are advancing so rapidly, the only way it could possibly be explained is that she is advancing in dog years, not human years
Well said
It's been amazing to see her talent grow, or should I say see her learn and absorb more and more, over the years.
It's one of my favorites I think many people have forgotten about it
I have the dvd of this with Sting playing at his South of France home. Thought all drummers knew Copland was not drumming, it was Vinny.
Excellent comment once again Wave. I wonder what Vinnie Colaiuta would think of this excellent performance from Yoyoka. I'm also sure she could play with Frank Zappa if he was still alive, she's so talented.
Vinnie is one of my favorite drummers. Listen to his work with Zappa and Jeff Beck.
Satriani on Unstoppable Momentum as well
Yeah Wave needs to do some Zappa, I did one request... I think it was "13"..
I wonder if she learned this in her trademark "usually 3 or 4 listens". Remarkable if it took even 20. Wow!
She's such a great talent, fantastic, it always make me smile to watch her videos 🙂
She's amazing and the recordings are getting better... drums mics are right!
Seeing her being able to deal with this kind of patterns and polyrhythms, I'm pretty sure she could manage to do some really good covers from Tool
We knew by the age of nine this was in her near future
I've always been intrigued by the drums on this song, it really makes it a lot snappier and cool!
What a drummer, Akane watch out because you've got competition.
When she was much younger Yoyoka said bananas were her favorite snack!
It's been years since I listened to this song, but when that Reggae bit hit I was still stonkered. That's not just next level, that's boss level. One thing Gordon Sumner does well is choose who to collaborate with.
And now he has another very capable drummer at his disposal
Just hit me on one of many re-watches - Yoyoka does not look like she's struggling with this song at all.
Yoyoka is an alien! just unbelievable!!!!
Like all great musicians the player & the instrument become inseparable. They have become one. I saw Benjamin Grosvenor in concert & it was like the piano was joined to his brain through his fingers. Yoyoka is well along that virtuosic path.
Karen Briggs and Vanessa Mae, World class violinists, Both exhibit an ability to play from the soul threw their instrument. That is what brings that something extra that sets them apart from the rest. An attribute that you can't put your finger on. Yoyoka has been showing this for some time now. Not just technical ability, but that something xtra that can't be taught.
This was Vinnie Colaiuta
She’s amazing!
She does a stick twirl at the end!!!!!
Bass and snare in 5/4, accents on hihat are 4/4, but they're eighth notes. On ride it's quarters, which means over 5/4, the accented one is going to alternate every other measure.
You know, just your basic nightmare. 😉🥁
You HAVE to listen to entire album. Easily one of the best albums of the 90s. Top top TOP musicianship.
Heh, I'm late to this analysis. Really wonder why RUclips does not alert me these days. This is really amazing. Guess only thing left to do is to compare it with the original to see which parts played belong to the original and which parts are additions/amendments that Yoyoka added in.. (I don't believe that "reggae" part is in the song 😉)
Yes, it was 5/4 the original drummer was Vinnie Caluchi...yeah...lol his last name is misspelled...hey what's yea want it's free...
Damn didn’t even bring it up on the podcast lol
Bring it up next week!
If the Stewart Copeland short was the one where he talked about "Spirits in the Material World" - that is a crazy song...
It is just straight 4/4 (bass drum on 2 and 4) - but because of the syncopated tom intro and selling our ears on the accents on the ands - we just don't hear it that way...
(When playing along, there are several times where Copeland puts an OH or accent cymbal on 1, which is crazy helpful... because if I don't hear it on 1, I know my counting is wrong... again... lol)
Crazy good!
Great reaction Wave. I knew this was complicated and now I know why! She really is something else.
Thank you, Wave!!!!😍
Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. One of the best ever to do it.
I think Yoyoka is a genius
YOYOKAAAAA
hi sir i reckon the best way to discribe this number as like you i was GOBUS SMACKUSED
cheers guys.
some of theese sting rythm's is so difficult
I forgot to mention that when her and the Family played in Fairfield CA I was wearing my Yoyoka hat, Just curious, how many Yoyoka hats are out there ?
I have many shirts 2 signed with Boketo!
@@Rob-Yule I guess maybe I didn't see those while purchasing the 2 hats that I bought unless you had another access to those shirts ? Cool anyways, Thank you
The drummer for this song is Vinnie Colaiuta
Is there any doubt yet that she is one of the best?
Dang!
Need to do colorado bulldog by Mr. Big. You will be amazed with that one too
Amazing huh. All I could say watching her video.
👍
I liked your emotion.
My concern is where she is going with her musical talent. This is said with no disregard or disrespect for her drumming skillset as she is rapidly walking on the same turf as Senri Kawaguchi. I think Senri is probably one of the best drummers in the world with her unmatched ability to play in any time signature and do so flawlessly. Only a few of the male drummers out there can play equally as well as Senri can.
Yoyoka's skills have already improved in the short time she has been here in the US.
The concern I am talking about is what to do with her talent. If you look at the music industry, no one is beating down Senri Kawaguchi's door to come be a session musician in Hollywood or for major record labels. Not even in Japan. She, Yoyoka, has the talent level of Hal Blaine, Frank Gordon or Jeff Porcaro. She is breathing down their necks. My question is why hasn't someone in the music industry, either here or in Japan taken her with other similarly talented youths and put them in a killer rock band. If you can take a group of kids with no talent and put them up on stage, like New Kids On the Block, what did they do besides, Whoa Whoa Whoa their way into millions of dollars. What instruments did they play?
Her needle has not moved much since her twelfth birthday, if you go by those numbers. This is not her fault, but the numbers reflect how people feel about drummers. She and Senri both have low horizon numbers for drummers on youtube.
There are female drummers who are no where near as talented as either of them is, but have up ten times her followers and with the release of a cover will have close to a million views. Because of the talent of these women? No, men want to watch them drum because of their looks or bodies, or both, not their talent.
This is the same with men. If you look at some of the best male drummers in the world, like say the top 500 list, they, also, for the most part do not have large followers. It is telling the same story about drummers.
I just cannot see her going viral unless she gives up sitting on the drum throne or kind of does both.
I am hoping that she will get back into writing and singing.
Guitarists and singers always get more acclaim than drummers do, that's the way it is. You look at the young female singers and guitarists, it is mind boggling as to how many followers theses young ladies have.
I guess the way things kind of worked out when Yoyoka was living in Japan, it would have been nice to see her in concert with Rie Suzaku. I would imagine that the reason it hasn't happened so far is because she does a lot of concerts with Kanade Sato.
Rie Suzaku has taken over the position of being the number one female guitarist in the world since Tina S fell out of the music scene.
I know that Yoyoka has put, or attempted to put bands together when she was in Japan. It is not always easy to get the right chemistry together in a band or get everyone on the same page when you are still in school.
I have been a fan of Senri a lot longer than I have of Yoyoka, and have been a staunch follower of Yoyoka since around 2017. I was kind of hoping that when Senri got out of college she was going to set the world on fire, but so far, she hasn't. But not for trying or lack of effort. I really was hoping that Senri was going to stay with rock and not migrate into jazz or fusion.
I watched some of the videos Yoyoka has posted of her practicing sessions since she has been here. She is going back and forth between match and traditional and I have never seen her do that before. She is, also, into different patterns and grooves, the result of being at the school she is attending no doubt.
There is no female drummer under twenty one who has her drumming talent or stage talent.
It is just a shame when you see other girls her age with a million plus followers who could not play drums as good as Yoyoka on their best day as Yoyoka can on her worst day, getting all the accolades. If one where to mess up, she very quickly hides behind the mask of 'I am only a child'. If Yoyoka were to make a mistake she would be the first to admit it, apologize and correct the mistake.
I know that Wave does a good job of analyzing and breaking things down on drummers like Yoyoka, but as I am writing this, there are only 470 views. Why aren't there at least 10x that many?
Facts. I think part of the problem, at least in Yoyoka’s case, is that she probably doesn’t really know what she wants to do yet. She can play any genre (we haven’t heard her play metal but I have no doubt she could if she applied herself), but forming or being the centerpiece of a band when you’re 13 is pretty tough. Actually, Senri and Yoyoka aren’t the only child prodigies who face this predicament. Male prodigies Avery Molek and Greyson Nekrutman may also fade into obscurity if they don’t find a way to parlay their talent into something more meaningful than RUclips,Instagram, and Twitter views.
@@KansaSCaymanS I am with you 100%. It has been a long time since I have seen so much musical talent as there is cyberspace. The talent out there on all instruments along with singers, young talent is just unreal. It goes from good to world class.
In Yoyoka's case, she has a lot of advantages as her parents had a band and her father understands sound. In Yoyoka's case, she has had a lot of actual stage experience. She has had a lot of studio experience. She could lay down studio tracks for any recording.
Japan has world class rock groups and singers, but they are not really getting their comeuppance here.
I have been around the music industry for going on sixty years. Just makes me shake my head to see where it has went where in terms of rock, we hear the classics everyday, but in reality, people hear the same oldies day in and day out.
Here is what I think is going on with Yoyoka. We know how much energy and effort she has put into being who she is. I believe that she is looking at the music business as it was or used to be instead of how it is.
She believes that her talent is going to get her to the promise land. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. ..
In her case, she doesn't need to be 'discovered'. A lot of people in the music industry know who she is. And what I am going to say applies to any musician.
If you do not have airtime or something to put on the air, you are not going to make it. Even if you did have a disc, platter or recording to get someone to put it on the air, where would you go to do it? This isn't the old days where you could show up at the backdoor of a radio station and hand someone a record and have it being played on the radio as you drive out of the parking lot.
She isn't the first one facing this problem. If you look at Alexey Poblete, she has the same drumming skillset as Yoyoka. I would say that they are both equal. Doesn't matter that Alexey is not on the 500 list. She put in her time and climbed the ladder. She got involved with Nickelodeon and things went sideways for her. She then turned to singing and that was not a good idea.
The record labels, or what is left of them, are not doing what they once did.
They have their own ideas of how business in the music world takes place. They do not even really care about the Boynce's and Taylor Swifts of the music world. Only thing of interest to the record labels is their music catalogue. That makes more revenue than everything else they do put together. I do not believe the claims they make about their talentless puppets regarding how good they are. They are all low overhead compared to how much it used to cost to make recordings. Turn off autotune and then listen.
The record labels would not give Yoyoka a nickel for her to laydown a drum track. Why would they want to pay her or anyone else to laydown a drum track when they can just use a computer to do it?
If you listen to the lyrics on what comes out of the record companies, not much thought has gone into their songs. There is nothing complicated about the same basic four cords they keep using over and over again.
The way Yoyoka seems to admire Michael Jackson, she believes that he was the main cog in his musical success. If she could look on the other side of the curtain, she would have a total different mind thought about him.
If you look at what is left of the major rock bands, which is not much. Many have died and many are too old and have been replaced with people you have never heard of.
Bottom line is proven talent is no longer producing. With that being said, if you have a concept song, where are you going to take it? The Wrecking Crew is long gone. The group that cranked hits out of Laurel Canyon is long gone, so where would you to produce a song you can get airtime from? The connection between a sound engineer and the record companies is getting thinner and thinner. Listen to Rick Beato on the record and recording industry. He can tell you how the clowns in the record companies have ruined the careers of tremendous levels of talent from both individuals and bands. Think they care? Albums sell, but the consumer public is buying catalog albums.
CDs ruined cover art. Where would you go for cover art? You going to make your own?
Turn on the radio and how many rock type songs do you listen to? There is fusion, but where are all the epic recordings?
You can find decent songs on the internet by unknown bands, but you are not going to hear them being played on mainstream radio. It just is not going to happen. Almost all radio stations are owned by conglomerates and they pay for the music on their radio station in block purchases. It is like a machine. It is a machine.
Maybe, Yoyoka coming to the US could be the best thing which happened to her. At least her music will be carried to another level. She will acquire a lot of tools she has either ignored or really not developed.
I don't know if she will make the mark on the music industry she thinks she is going to make. I have my fingers crossed for her and many others.
Outside looking in, where I can see Yoyoka making an impact once she has more business understanding of the music industry is to where a movie producer who has an epic movie who comes to her and says, I need you to write/underscore the music for my movie. She already has that innate musical ability, just needs to be developed. But like you say at 13, she still has a long way to go.
I hope she finds her way through what is left of the music world and finds a way to fix it or restructure it. Many have tried, but the musical merry-go-round is kind of like Las Vegas. The corporate world has all he money in the world, even more than the mafia. The corporate world wanted Las Vegas and went in and bought it. Las Vegas has never been the same since.
They did the same with the record companies. They used their money to buy up all the independents, consolidated the labels got rid of the people who knew what they were doing and replaced them with corporate management. This was in progress before 2000.
You have to admit that there is a lot of strange things which have happened in the music industry since they decided to buy the record industry.
Thus, the similarity between Vegas and the recording industry.
@@tibetbill yeah, for old rock fans like me, the current music scene is pretty depressing and largely uninspiring. And don’t even get me started on Ticketmaster and Live Nation! 🤬
@KansaSCaymanS Yeah man! You are talking my language. Remember when Pearl Jam was trying to do a workaround of Ticket Master? They would never sellout or compromise with them. What happened?
There have been so many up and coming bands that have effectively been banned by these clowns.
If I said what I could say, I would end up getting permanently banned from youtube.
The Who laid it out in Eminence Front for those who, pardon the pun, who they were referring to without naming names.
Check out Kanade Sato as well....another phenomenal young drummer from Japan.
Hey wave Chris here want to know if you can talk to yoyoka about the song Utopia it's one of my love to see a new version maybe in English
Yoyoka's Good Times/Bad Times 8 yr old RUclips disappeared
!@#$ing content blocking wankers! The Soma's don't make a dime from the copyright covers with the ad money that is generated.
The original drum part of this song played by vinnie
Ha! That's right, all one can do is laugh.
This is Vinnie
It's 5/8. :)
My language center of my brain 🧠 🙃 is a bit scrambled. Watch this space for future comments.
Don't feel bad Chris my heads been scrambled for a week.😂
This videonshould be called "dude hears 7 days for the first time"
On her original video it says it was one take.
Yup, that's normal for Yoyoka, however complex or long. Try Achilles Last Stand from Led Zep at 11 minutes. She has proper gigging stamina and focus, since she has been gigging for 9 years. (the footage of a 4 year old Yoyoka gigging is on RUclips.)
One take means no edits for the published take. Clearly she practices several times (during the Zoom call yesterday she said this one took 6 weeks to get it sorted - while doing all the concerts, school etc.) to get it perfect, then records in one go unless something breaks like in the When The Levee Breaks!!
Please splain something to me. When Yoyoka covers a song like this what is going on? Has she listened to the original recording and learned to copy that, no small feat that, or has she listened to the original then somehow stripped the drum track and replaced it with her own version? What is she listening to? Whatever she is doing is amazing, I’d just like to have a better understanding of what’s going on.
she probably has the drum score. the sheet music
@@turdeaugottago114 First, I don’t think she reads music, but what is she recording to? Is there a recording stripped of the drum track that she plays over with her own compositions?
Y
@@turdeaugottago114 Yoyoka learns by ear.
She basically plays by ear although now at school she is learning to read. Reading a drum score of this track would however challenge the best. She has an extremely keen drummers ear. Normally she just buries a track perfectly. Recently a viewer spotted a faint cymbal crash in a Led Zep cover, which perfectly illustrates that she is burying the original track. More often than not though she embellishes the original, Yoyoka's sparkles if you like, or adds her own fills such as in Blurred Lines where she wanted to disguise the rap. Whatever she does her timing remains impeccable and she will be in the pocket.
@@andrewplumb6544 I think she uses drumless tracks and sometimes the drum removal is imperfect.
Sting is absolutely NOT my favorite, and this song is a bit boring (as most Sting stuff). But the drum rhythm? Wow.
Definitely recommend you check out this entire album....Vinnie Colaiuta is the drummer for this album I believe. It's called Ten Summoner's Tales.
Got to 3 minutes, you ruined it.
She is so Good. She have soo much time all the way. A PRO...
The music is deep within this one.
