Drummer Reacts to AMAZING 10 Year Old JAPANESE Drummer!!! 

done!

If you haven’t heard it yet she absolutely blows away Peter Gabriel’s song Steam!! Look it up! This little girl is awesome!!

She will win

She's way out of your league.

Yep

Haha yeh, I like when she just smiles after a difficult drum fill.

Beast mode... that's exactly right.

I had a. Feeling she comes from a very musical family because even though it's the 21st century & all I think it's probably still very un- conventional for a Japanese

@@andrealindstrom5016 - have you heard the rest of the band she plays with on her 12th birthday session? They're all well established Japanese adult musicians.....and they're incredible!

I'm addicted to her videos!

Yeh she's a real treat to watch lol!

Badass!

Yup! Watch my new one too!

Haha yeh, she's so good!

Yeh insane cover!

Damon Brown yeh watched it after this! It’s amazing! Robert Plant saw it too apparently

I will!

Yeh buddy!

Seriously, you watch one and you just fall down the rabbit hole.

Nice

@@DecvsJapan she's recently covered Rosanna by Toto. Now she's really showing off.

Haha.

If you think she's good, check out my drumming vids! [because they aren't as good]

I will check it out

Absolutely. The passion of hers is insane!

Agree!

Can't wait to find out!

Thanks man. I've never seen such a happy drummer haha!

She’s a ways outside of Sapporo...

You know where abouts? I sent her my reaction. Would love to interview her haha.

Ha cool, I sent it too... I don’t know, my sieve of a memory is thinking an hour West, almost coastal?, does that even make sense?

@@timgove5337 I think that in one of her videos there's mention of where she lives, I think it was one of the travel vlogs, maybe the Ellen ones.

glen kelley I just glanced at a map, ishikari seems familiar...

Yup!

Yeh I know lol and I'm fine with it!

Insane!

Saw it after this vid! It's so good! It's perfect!

So good innit

She's quality ain't she!? I want her on the channel for an interview haha.

@@DecvsJapan Went straight over to her channel and binge watched all her videos haha

Yeh who needs a double kick when you're that good on a single kick!

Here is Yoyoka's drumming lesson on how to play ghost notes. You can get the jist, but it is Japanese. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mjDzN6BkzL8.html

Christopher John Ferrer very nice thanks!

Besides Yoyoka, I’m also a huge fan of guitarists LisaX(Japan early 2005 edition) & Yoyo(China late 2006 edition). Here’s Yoyo guesting on Lisa’s second prog Metal album on a childishly fun poppish track. Shred city ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rfRlh2YWL30.html

Mystic Virgo yo-chan is here 4 lyf!

That cover was whack so will try and listen to that too soon!

Maximus Haughton at first I was like “is this it?” Then i was like woooooaahh!

Kanade or Yoyoka ?

Maximus Haughton kanade

@@DecvsJapan Kanade has a technical brilliance about her whereas Yoyoka's drumming has a funkier, more natural feel. Believe it or not, they are both overshadowed by the great Senri Kawaguchi, one of the premier jazz drummers in the world at the ripe old age of 22. This lady is a must-see for a drumming enthusiast. You don't have to do a reaction, but I would like to know what you think. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MvEBp2qGHYU.html Yoyoka has covered one of her pieces.

Another Kawaii Japanese drummer to check out is Tamu Murata, she has a RU-vid channel. She did a bit of a drum-off thing with Senri. Senri did not approve of Tamu's kit positioning (LOL).

Glad you enjoy it!

Tim Gove hot damn what a song that was! Her grooves are insane!

Cyndi Lauper gave her two days to learn two songs and fly from Sapporo to Tokyo. Nbd... see about 2min in, followed by onstage interview... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T5hPkB6D-qU.html

すごいね

Yeh!

Nandi is awesome too, a bit of a showoff. However, Yoyoka brings something to the table that is extremely rare and undeniable. An unmatched presence.

Yeh so good!

A few have recommended this now so I guess I'll have to listen!

Think I did! Just didn't do a reaction!

No reactions, but seen her for sure! With Yoyoka I have a soft spot because she's from Hokkaido and I met her in person and had a chat lol.

@@DecvsJapan that's awesome

Done! So good!

Amazing. Giving lessons as a 5 year old haha!

Hey!

Ooo will do!

What do you mean professional musician though? Are drummers not musicians? Or do you mean she can play other instruments?

@@DecvsJapan Professional meaning that she gets paid for her appearances. Yes, she drums, but she also plays the base, percussion, keyboards, xylophone, she sings, she writes songs, she choreographs and other things as well. She has played in over three hundred gigs. Mostly small, but some big time gigs. She tours Japan in a band. She plays in bars, weddings and various other venues, just like any other upcoming musician would do break into the music industry. She actively does commercials, like with nike, moncler, lego, and a number of other ones. I do not speak Japanese, but I think she recently did a commercial for a tire company and one or two for a car company. She has already cut three albums and is working on her fourth. She just released an upcoming single which will be on her new album. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t2iEcVmczIw.html www.moncler.com/gb/monclernow/genius-is-born-crazy-yoyoka/ Note, that my first post on this channel where she was on stage with Cindy Lauper, Yoyoka was wearing a moncler tee shirt. That was not by accident. Every time she walks out on stage for a major appearance, the cash register rings to the tune of about $10k, just for wearing clothes with moncler on it. Not counting what she makes for an appearance. This is a video of her at the Pearl drum factory picking out what kind of drum kit that she likes. Pearl is one of her sponsors. The Yoyoka drum kit sells for about $6000 in the US. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vfipug70wKY.html This is her opening her Pearl modeled custom drum kit, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z1_2R83hhMs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Pza-X6Hqz4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fEDijfTTTPo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rDva1QW3VCA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mq6x_OJQDxk.html This is primarily in Japanese but it does have English subtitles. Yoyoka touring with her family band. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YFPD8BJZ6iU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-agW6LpJhh60.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kKQuG0qXinQ.html You could say that she is a ten year old drummer, but she is paying her own way with her talents. Her parents are both musicians, but cut her no slack when it comes to her education. That comes first. But no matter how you look at Yoyoka, she is a professional musician. If you go to her website, she does post some of her upcoming appearances on her site, but not all of them. Currently, she is learning time signatures, she has mastered ¾ and is working on 3/2. So it should become interesting as she posts new covers. Her target role model is Senri Kawaguichi who is the best female drummer in the world. Not to become Senri, but as someone who is also Japanese leading the way for what Yoyoka is going to develop for us to listen to. If you look at Yoyoka’s video collection, she has posted two of Senri’s songs. Also, if you check tape, Yoyoka is ahead of Senri in terms of acquired skills at the same age level, in my opinion. But this is the kind of professional she is. I could put a lot more up, but you can find them yourself. Lastly, even though she can play complex drum grooves with the skill of a studio musician, she is still a little girl as evidenced here, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_iMrpZ3Vzg.html

Yeh not a critic it was all a compliment from me buddy!

@@DecvsJapan I worded my comment wrong. I meant it just for everyone reading my comment to take it into account. I had no intent to critisize you.

Did! It's so good!

Done as soon as it came out haha.

Me too.

What's the point of watching a reaction and just wanting to look at my face in silence?

@@DecvsJapan It all good.....just ribbin' ya. hahaha

Nope

見てくれてありがとうございます。字幕作れるけどすごく時間かかりますよ！KING GNU - SLUMBERLANDのリアクションビデオ見ましたか？それはぜんぶ日本語で話してました。もしもっと人気になったら全部の映画のために字幕作りたいです。でも先生だから時間があまりないですよ。すみません。これから頑張ります！

Dec vs Japan 返信ありがとうございます！ まだ見れていないので拝見させていただきます。 お忙しいのに無理を言ってすみません🙇‍♂️ 僕が英語を少しでも理解できるように努力します

Me? :)

@@DecvsJapan You know I meant little drummer girl !

ok

doesn't*

Ok

Who dat?

@@DecvsJapan He was a 16 yr old genius doctor in a show called "Doogie Houser, MD" which aired in the early 90s. He was played by Neil Patrick Harris.

Great cover!

Dunno about genius, but definitely her passion is the best I've seen. I'm not a great drummer by any means, but when it comes to drums passion is always better than technically gifted I think. She's both, but she has the passion that others don't. And that God damn smile! kawaii!!

Makes two of us bro.

:(

100% lol

@@DecvsJapan Amazing right...just imagine if we all found our true calling at 2 years old!

Most people say I have a loud head and a big voice.

100% babes

It's weird, it's almost as if you clicked on a reaction video instead of the video of just her playing. Might just be my imagination though.

It's as if you clicked on a reaction.... weird.

well, i would've liked it better if you gave your audiance more time to listen to yoyoka without constant interruption. she's a mozart of drums, so let her play. you're totally right with your assessments. but i thought you came across better, if you gave your verdict at the end. or maybe two, three times inbetween. but i like your enthusiasm still.

You do that on your reaction channel and I'll do it my way on mine.
