Jeeeeeeeesus that man is a beast, that first video is sickkkkk I love his hi-hat foot control its so signature of jojo I think

And I loved the tamborine shaker that was pretty slick too.

I also love his cymbals great industrial tones to them.

[fourstringdrums]

More proof that JoJo isn't from this planet. Wow.

Thanks Bernhard!

[stasz]

Always blown away by Jojo and his playing. Someday we mortals may rise to be half as good as he is. We can only dream... Thanks for the videos Bernhard.

[Drummer Karl]

Yeah, like always...the best videos! Thanks so much Bernhard!
Very inspiring, JoJo is awesome!!

You need the x264 codec. If you don't have it or use VLC (http://vlc-media-player.softonic.de/), try FFDSHOW (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/) (for e.g. Media Player Calssic) or get the codec here (http://www.free-codecs.com/x264_Video_Codec_download.htm) respectively here for Mac (http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/20273/x264qtcodec-1.1.0.dmg).

His left hand never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for the education Bernhard.

Wow, great videos! JoJo sounds so pleasing, accurate and individual...really really nice!

Hey, but the real highlight: Bernhard in the backround...ah, I wish I could have been there.

I downloaded and installed the codec but all I get is audio, no video.

Maybe use VLC player, it can play everything. If you want to solve the problem with your player, better write a PM.

I'm sorry for the codec problem, I used the x264 because you get a better quality than divx or xvid. It's likely to the h.264 in Quicktime 7. (Audio is simply MP3.)

I downloaded that. No biggie. Great videos! Question though, in the second "full length" video, when JoJo sits 'side saddle' to the snare, what is he doing? I guessed he was using his left foot to put pressure on the bass drum head and change the pitch but I could be wrong.

No, you're right, exactly that is he doing.

[Raymond Bloom]

Yeah, Jungle snare doesn't work too well for rimclicks


other than that, pretty damn insane.


as allways!!

[Vinnysimmo]

Exellent stuff. Shame i couldnt see it.

[Big_Philly]

His left hand never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for the education Bernhard.

All of his limbs amaze me! Absolutely stunning playing.

Hey Karl,
Thanks for pointing that out. Does anyone know if there are any videos posted of Bernhard playing? I would enjoy watching THE MAN smackin' the skins.

[jbsg02]

If my hands were only as good as his FEET haha

Here's the same performance from another view, you see it there what he does with his left foot.

Yes, I think Bernhard already posted a video of him with a band playing a blues here! I`ve definitly seen it but when I looked out for it later I couldn`t find it anymore...

But it`s a pleasure to see him in a video again.

[Bob Smith]

i don't like the sound of his bass drum in these vids

[slingerland755]

It's just recorded with the camera mic.

[00Schneider]

Yes and no. Bernhard had en external mic, my camera has a good internal (at least no overdrive), only the sabian guy (YouTube clips) semmed to have only a digicam.

But the bass drum was a 16" Force 3007 with closed reso head. What do you expect from that...? Rock or punk is off course something different... ;-)

[Wegadrummer]

THAT is just AMAZING! I love jojo playing.. You could really see how he develops as a drummer in this last few years.. so cool!

[Raymond Bloom]

Not really, he was as superhuman as today 20 years ago...

[Drummer Karl]

Regarding his drumming I think it developed. At this point of speaking I always ask myself: When he really discovered or fell in love with the d`n`b scene?

Jojo started the Prohibited Beatz party in 1998, so possibly he started to get into it when d'n'b scene was at it's highlights

Thanks,
I stand corrected. Regardless of the sound...love it!

[Bob Smith]

this is some good drumming and i really like what he did with his high hats
