JOJO MAYER: VIC FIRTH PERFORMANCE SPOTLIGHT
For this installment of “Learn the Music”, we reached back into Vic’s video vault for an early performance from Jojo Mayer. While Jojo’s style and grooves have changed a LOT since those early days, it’s still fun to hear how he was able to almost mimic the techno sounds of a drum machine, with incredible precision.
The fun part of watching it at 50% and 75% tempo is that us mere mortals can now see and hear (and potentially work up?) Jojo’s intricate beats! Once you’ve checked out the video, download the transcription & try it out for yourself!
