I am 63 ..i watch this video every day .. it makes me happy .. she is remind me of the glory days of the real rock .. wish and hope if she would play " won't get fooled again " for the Who ... she is amazing .
@@GaryHighFruit the original drummer of this did a commentary on this he said she has great hand speed awsome hand and foot independents shes frighteningly good and nailed it . His words truly special player. His name is Ian Paice. Check him out.😏he's one of the all time greats.
@@waynelynch9557 I do agree she's great. I'm just saying, a lot of things can be altered in video editing software. And what Ian says doesn't matter. People (esp celebs) also tend to alter their words to make themselves look good(or keep from looking bad). And Ian's use of hyperbole gives it away. The word "frightening" is not a word used to describe drumming. And the OP saying: "She IS music" is the lame thing. Wayyy overboard pathetically obvious cucking.
@@GaryHighFruit do you believe shes fake if so there are people that have played with her other then her family. She has played in concert with big name bands.
@@GaryHighFruit You know she's already working as a session musician, and has released her own singles right? She is also ranked in the top 500 drummers in the world. These videos are recorded in a single take and are not edited. You can watch her single Sparkling to get an idea of her chops. And her 12th birthday sessions where she is playing with well known Japanese musicians that SHE invited to play with HER. I think you underestimate this girl.
Ian Paice himself reacted to her and he said she hits harder then he does. Mind you this is an 11 year old kid, the stamina and strength that she has to play this song for more than 6 min straight is mind blowing.
The craziest thing is she learns the songs she plays for youtube generally in 1-3 hours (not months/years) and plays them in one take. And she doesn't even read music yet but learns by ear.
She just got voted into the Top 500 best drummers in history. She is endorsed by Pearl Drums, has played with Cyndi Lauper and other big names but mostly plays in her families band, who are also very good. Her aunt Madoooon is an excellent bass player.
Thanks Jamel! I absolutely love ❣️ Yoyoka! Please react to "Put Me Thru" she's off the leash on this one! She is extremely skilled, but it's her personality that I love most!
Put Me Thru is my favorite cover of hers. Concertwise? favs are when Char & friends (big names in Japan) sat in with HER(band) to do ledZep good times bad times, and when Fallout Boy had her play their biggest hit with them for 20000peeps, both online somewhere, I’ll links if ya need
Burn is a drum solo with vocals, keys and guitars. Ian Paice said she got it 99% right which is head and shoulders above men thrice her age trying to play it in cover bands all over the world.
Yes, he mentioned a point where she initially got it wrong, then got it right. (It all sounded great to me!) But he also said he had a hard time with certain points that she nailed. Keep in mind that she's 11. Damn..
Yoyoka is the 11 year old percussive heir apparent to one of history’s greatest rock and roll bands that has yet to form. I only hope I live long enough to witness it.
One amazing thing about Yoyoka is that she is largely self taught. She gets some lessons but she mainly learns on her own. She said on one of her videos that it takes her two or three attempts to get the drumming for a song down. Yoyoka is fairly well known in Japan. As others have said the whole family (mother, father, little brother and Yoyoka) are a band. They've toured the country a few times, she's been featured on commercials (a bigger deal in Japan than here), and is a cultural/goodwill ambassador for Hokkaido, the northern island where she lives.
Can't believe how much she's grown I can remember when she coyld barely see over yhe drums. I've been following her for a couple years she is my all-time favorite drummer
Her parents had her on stage playing the drums in their band when she was barely a toddler! So she's been playing for almost a decade already. I just love her enthusiasm after playing for so long. And she has the personality & intelligence to become a legend, if she wants.
She is more than a great drummer. She is the ambassador to happiness! I don’t care who you are or where you’re from, you can’t watch her and not smile 😊 that’s much more than just being a great musician.
She makes it looks absolutely effortless.. hopefully she will always enjoy it this much throughout her life.. I've been subbed to her for a couple years now and I'm in my 50's..
These reaction videos have become ANNOYING...you dont need to yammer on, endlessly, you dig it, or you dont. Give her vid a HELL YEA....that's all we need
This young lady just has so much fun doing these covers, you can see it in her face. I recently watched Ian Paice, the drummer for Deep Purple, react to this drum cover. He was amazed and her speed and joy doing it. As he was watching at one point he said "this is where I usually mess up", she didn't.
Hi Jamel, wow she's great! Please listen to Deep Purple's Space Truckin' and Woman From Tokyo. Two big hits by them. You love those as much as you loved their other songs. Thanks so much my friend! Love the positive spirit! 😎
Yup, way better than a drum computer , real humans playing oldskool instruments has to be the norm again...This girls joy is an inspiration for me the old 46 yr drummer .Music has to be fun ! If all men own a drum kit there is world peace...
Burn has my favorite purple text. The girl is doing a great job on the drums, Ian Paice is definitely proud of this good cover and the fact that young people play around 50-year-old titles gives me hope.
I was watching an interview in Japanese, she started playing at 18 months old, and has been playing as long as she can remember. She learned to drum while she was learning to speak and her playing is integrated as essential a second language. Learning a new song or technique is like you learning a new word.
Thank you Jamel for a respectfully commented reaction. This messed up the language center of my brain for about an hour after this. I was flabbergasted and gobsmacked!
This kid plays as good as anyone I've ever seen! But I've only seen about a thousand concerts. One of the two best drummers I've ever seen live is Ian Paice. Yoyoka is already as good, at eleven, as he ever was.
@@obbor4 Why? Cause I think differently? I've been drumming since 1980. I have a few drum videos. I think this 11 y/o makes a mockery of drumming; making it look really easy, and lowering the image of famed drummers.
@@GaryHighFruit She makes people look bad by being so good? I don't get it. People strive for excellence. She wasn't born just playing like this. She's worked very hard. The fact that she's young and female probably causes some to recoil in jealousy. But, that's not her problem. Some people just have it. This one, obviously, does.
Yoyoka plays with a lot of people, no set band per se. I think she plays a lot with her family too. Here she is with her mother and friends from last April, doing a cover of a tune I know you know. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-slPcweQ_Bg4.html
I agree with you Jamel, her timing is impeccable and her energy is contagious. At her age I would put her in the savant category. I hope this sweet girl gets rich with these skills. I could go on and on . . .
She's been on Ellen look up that video and Robert plant got to see her play a led zeppelin song I mean she is fanomanal look these videos up I've been watching her now for a little while and I never get tired of watching her
9:27 She discovered Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and all these others by herself from iTunes/Apple Music when she was like 4-6 years old or whenever she started covering these. Her parents were unaware of the bands
Japan has a new godzilla. Her name is Yoyoka. Outstanding performance power timeing off the hook. To think she is just 11 years old. Forgetaboutit. Love this kid she is a rock star.she is just getting stronger and stronger God bless little one u the man girl rock on and all the very best. Godzilla on the drums.
There is a video of Ian Paice reacting to her playing this and he says that she got it 99% right something even he can't do. He also said the best part of her playing is she is having fun. Jamel maybe you could react to Ian reacting to Yoyoka.
Love the enthusiasm. Since were on Deep Purple it's time to checkout the spinoff band Rainbow's 80's hit "Stone Cold", one of the coolest intros of any song imo.
One of the things I like so much about Yoyoka; as a 22 year resident of Japan; is that she quite obviously LOVES what she's doing. Murdering music is required for just about all kids here, (the sheer torture of recorders in class still has me waking up screaming!), but Yoyo-chan not only chooses great music; not only does it incomparably well; but also enjoys doing it; unlike (sadly) so many of her fellow Japanese kids. Kudos to her family for supporting her too.
She does doubles and triples effortlessly. Her precision and power only gets better as she gets older. She just turned 11 recently. By time she is 18...... limitless
I've already checked the comments below whats left to say . She's the best young rock drummer in the world. I check her out everyday. Enjoyed you comments tha ks stay safe.😷😜🤘
One of the many things to love about her is that you will NEVER see a happier drummer in your life. She's a natural, she loves to learn, and she LOVES to play. It's just damn FUN to watch. She does Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker," and (not to spoil it, but) during the guitar break in the middle, she pretends to read while waiting for the drums to start back up. The thing about Ian Paice is, in a band with multiple singers (one of them, Ian Gillian, being one of the most legendary screamers in the world), not to mention Living Legend Richie Blackmore and Lost Legend Jon Lord, he almost gets lost. Everything else is so great, many people really do miss how amazing he was/is. And for Yoyoka to cite HIM as a major influence, that says A LOT about her.
🤔🤔🤔 This is what great music is ALL about, passing the torch from one generation to another. Ian Paice would be thrilled to see he did a bloody good job. 😵😵😳😳😉😉😉
@@carlalopez4820 Siiiiiii hizo tremendo trabajo y esfuerzo, se nota a leguas que le fascina la percusión 🥁 pensé que la había mencionado PERO me equivoqué. Gracias por recordármelo. 👍👍
She sure is part of a band! She's been professional since she was 5 or 6, in her parents band Kaneai Yoyoka (formerly Kaneai Kaneai). You should probably check out the Kaneai Yoyoka channel! BTW notice the pile of drumstick splinters around her kick pedal. It's grown too since you last watched Yoyoka - where you been?! And you should see how Ian Paice himself was affected by watching this - very touching: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0RyJKiollcA.html
