More specifically in bass drum technique and info there is hardly any other artist who has gathered so high-end experience and educational info and has been willing to explain it deeply to audience.Įducational value of this DVD should be 7 starts out of 5. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to have some one-on-one time with a hero of mine and to have captured something of value for listeners.In today's drum world there is a lot of access to unimportant information and very limited to really valuable information. Speaking for myself, I find his words to be almost as enjoyable as the music he performs. His thoughts about society, art, culture and beyond always have an enlightening edge to them. Jojo is obviously an expert musician and I love his music, but his interviews are always interesting, too.
Whether a musician who hasn’t struggled as much is missing something musically.How New York isn’t matching the creative output it used to produce.The message, “you can’t do that” and how Jojo basically ignored it.There is no question that Jojo Mayer is among the greatest drummers of all time and has been incredibly influential in music and the arts. Combined, these DVDs covered everything you’d ever need to know about technique. The first release was dedicated to hand technique and the second release was for feet. He broke down this technique in his two highly acclaimed instructional Hudson Music DVDs, “Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer”. It has been commented on many times before that Jojo possesses very high technical abilities both in his hands and feet. Jojo Mayer is a very creative and ingenuitive musician. It was that among other contributing factors that forced Jojo to stop the Prohibited Beatz parties. Look up the “Cabaret Law” for some nice casual reading.
At the Drumeo VIP dinner, he shared the entire story of how he was no longer allowed to host these parties, as people well into the thousands would attend. Prohibited Beats was the first Nerve album release, but there were also major parties that Jojo hosted in NYC that he called “Prohibited Beatz”. I have been listening to Nerve since early on – in fact, it was the Prohibited Beats album where I discovered them with the incredible tune “Far”. The night prior to this interview was when Nerve closed the festival with a tremendous performance that blew the minds of those in attendance. This interview with Jojo was the last one that I recorded during the Drumeo Festival in 2020. It’s not a paradigm shift for the most part.”
