JoJo Mayer: Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer

 

 

From Wikipedia:

 

Jojo Mayer (born 18 January 1963) is a highly acclaimed Swiss drummer
born in Zurich and currently residing in New
York City. Son of a touring musician, Mayer began his career as a
drummer at an early age, receiving his first drum set at the age of two.
Having taught himself throughout his childhood, Mayer broke out into
the professional music scene at the age of 18, joining the Monty
Alexander group. Touring with the group would launch him into the major
jazz music scene, playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux,
Nice, and Athens etc, and leading to his gigs with jazz-greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina
Simone. Eventually, after playing with a great variety of artists,
Mayer would move away from jazz and into Drum 'n' Bass electronica.

Jojo Mayer is known for bringing together jazz, drum
and bass, jungle, and other
influences. He is also famous for his ability to play the rhythms of
programmed jungle drum 'n' bass music on acoustic drums, terming this
technique "reverse engineering", a phrase borrowed
from computing.
He executes this approach using various methods such as the Heel-toe bass drum technique, the Moeller stroke, and the
"pull-out" or "push-pull" accent which takes the beat on the rebound.
Using this technique he can play beats at astonishing speeds. A few of
his main influences are Tony
Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Buddy
Rich.

He plays with the guitarist David Fiuczynski in the avant-garde pop rock band Screaming Headless Torsos and in
the fusion jazz band Intergalactic
Maiden Ballet.

He is the founder of the Prohibited Beatz clique in the NYC
underground live music scene.

Gear

Mayer is a long-time Sonor endorser and also uses Sabian cymbals. He
has also collaborated with Sabian to create his own line of "Fierce"
cymbals, part of Sabian's top-tier Vault line. His Vault Fierce cymbals
feature a raw, unlathed finish, and extensive hand hammering. Mayer uses
various series of drums, often depending on what is available at the
venue, with this general setup:

14" or 13" Snare Drum

10" Tom Tom

14" Floor Tom

13", 12", or even 14" Side Snare

20" or 22" Bass Drum

These sizes and the actual number of drums may vary, depending on the
musical context.

GwazzhieL Says What is your view about same

Submitted On: Monday, Aug 5, 2013 - 2:20 AM

What is your view about same sex marriage? Agree or not? Same sex marriage is only acknowledged in some states. While those partners may enjoy some tax benefits because of their union in their own states, they are denied them on a federal level. But strangely, the IRS's "second parent adoption credit" actually works in the favor of gay married partners.

Submitted On: Monday, Dec 27, 2010 - 7:58 PM

JoJo Mayer intimated that he wants to teach and tell instead of "show" and I commend him for that. I have little respect for great drummers that only want to get something out of it in terms of dollars. I have never really spent any time listening to JoJo other than this interview but let me say this Billy Ashbaugh is a fantastic drummer and teacher. In my books he ranks with the best, yet he may not have the reputation but is serving the drumming community with excellence. Thanks for giving back, big time Billy and Drummer Connection. Fantastic!

Submitted On: Thursday, May 20, 2010 - 11:43 AM

Nice Website and thanks for the interview. I'm mostly interested in 'live' drumming with some improvisation. But I guess after you post a video to you toob it becomes static media of itself and loses the aspect of being a live representation of a few minutes in the life. I was thinking, I sure would have like to seen the clinic myself. Great audio on these clips too. Thank You.
