Small japanese girl named Yoyoko dreams of becoming the best drummer in the world. Judging by what she is doing behind the installation now, there is nothing impossible in this. Her favorite artist is John Bonham Led Zeppelin, and she plays his parts in an adult way: some are indistinguishable from the original.
Japanese Yoyoko is only eight, but she doesn't just know anymore the best drummers world and chooses her favorites from among them: a girl can play a lot of their repertoire. She herself does not consider herself a child prodigy - she simply dreams of becoming the best in the world and works hard to achieve her goal.
It all started in deep childhood: even when Yoyoko could only crawl, her parents used their own as a children's room with toys. music studio. She herself talks about it this way:
I listened to how they sing, play the guitars, and I really wanted to play along with them. And I kept hitting the rhythm. That's how I started playing drums. It was the first tool I showed interest in. When I was two years old, I just constantly fiddled with drums like a toy. And at four I started performing.
Parents organized a family rock band - specifically to support Yoyoko. They even released two official CDs that you can buy on their website. My daughter plays not only the drums, but also the synthesizer, and also sings a little and composes music.
If you think this is something like the "Children Paint the World" exhibition in kindergarten, then in vain. This is what Kaneaiyoyoka sounds like on their second album YO-YO-YO. Most of the professional Russian rock bands may now feel awkward.
Yoyoko sent a video with her cover performance of the song Good Times, Bad Times by Led Zeppelin to Hit It Like A Girl 2018 World Internet Championship of Drummer Girls. It lasts from March to the end of May: people themselves record videos with their game, send them, and then in several stages of the jury choose the winners.
Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham is considered one of the best in the history of rock, and many of his parts have become classics. Yoyoko herself, listing her favorites, puts him in first place, and together with him names Chris Coleman and Benny Greb - modern drummers playing in the most different genres, from rock to contemporary jazz, and very popular among professionals.
But it is the Zeppelins that Yoyoko turns out especially cool. Here, listen to how she does a cover of Immigrant Song - here she is generally only seven years old.
There was no separate children's competition- Only under 18 nomination, and Yoyoko didn't win the prize because she competed with much older girls.
It was won by another Japanese woman, Yuki Ogawa. She is 13 years old and this is how she plays the drums.
It is quite possible that Yoyoko in five years will be able to play no worse, if not better. Here is what she herself says about her style of performance.
As a drummer, what I enjoy the most is how I create the groove, the harmony, and I try to be careful to support and not drown out the vocal part. I dream of becoming the best in the world. Also, I'm going to be an artist who can do everything: play all the instruments, record and mix, draw album covers. I am learning English in order to go to study and work abroad.
Yoyoko has a whole channel on YouTube, and also your
There is a stereotype that drums are an instrument for men. It requires great mobility of all limbs, the ability to apply force correctly, including to bring the plates to the rehearsal room. But many girls challenge this stereotype, do a lot of work (including on) and achieve amazing results in the game on the installation. We decided to please you with a selection of girls playing drums in the video. They have different level games, but the charm is on a high level 🙂
Julia Savicheva plays drums.
An ordinary Russian girl who was lucky enough to become a member of the Star Factory show and become famous. She was originally not a drummer, but a vocalist, so the guys can watch the video without being afraid to quit the drums forever after that. Yulia's father is a drummer, but she hardly had more than a week of practice. For lovely ladies, this video is a great indicator that the girl on the drums is quite real! There would be someone to take a couple of classes.

In addition to the costume, a quite decent level of play catches the eye. And now who's to say that girls can't play drums? :) Although the men, of course, will say that there is no attack, the dynamics of the game and the horizon are littered.
Veronica Bellino plays interesting funk.
The drummer of the Halo Circus band, Veronica plays the drums so that all the men around are disappointed in their success. Excellent sound dynamics, everything is very smooth, fast and within the musical context.

A beautiful girl behind a drum set.
If you are the happy owner of an angelic face, a charming smile and luxurious hair flowing over fragile shoulders, then it is not at all necessary to play something complicated on the kit. And no one will even notice that your plate falls during the game. At the same time, the installation should be transparent so that it does not obscure you.
Sexy drummer plays the kit.
Just watch and enjoy. The camera, of course, does not fly into spicy angles (after all, we have a decent place here), but the view is very nice. Would you like to have such a drummer in the group?

A simple Japanese girl closes our selection.
It was not for nothing that we said about the level of drumming among Asians. Here is an ordinary Japanese schoolgirl for you. She is said to have learned everything played in 10 seconds from the book she was reading at the beginning of the video...
As you can see, the girls on the drums are not only beautiful, but also effective. If you still doubt whether to take a girl-drummer in your group, or whether to become a drummer - now you have an answer.
A young lady of "nice" appearance with Asian features, in a frank black dress and stockings with fasteners, sits in front of drum set fiddling with drumsticks. Her legs are slightly spread at a very ambiguous angle, and her mouth is half open.
In a few seconds, the classic guitar riff from the hit “Welcome To The Jungle” by the Guns’n’Roses will sound, and the girl will start tapping shamanic rhythms on the drums, bouncing every now and then on a springy chair. And in the end, she will straighten the strap that has fallen from her shoulder and stick her tongue out in satisfaction.
The drummer's name is A-young. She is 26 years old, she is from South Korea and plays in the Bebop girl band. These girls specialize in music in k-pop style- Korean music mix of rhythm and blues, rock, electropop and other genres popular in the West. They came to light through participation in a television talent competition. Prior to that, they had to demonstrate their musical erudition in underground passages and nightclubs.
However, the girls became truly famous when the whole world suddenly began to go crazy for the one who plays drums in their group. It all started with a single video posted on Facebook. Someone took a fragment of the group's performance on his mobile. Or rather, not the whole group, but only A-Yeon. The video's caption reads: "Looks like he's in love with her."
The video got over 70,000 likes in just a few days. From that moment on, A-young became incredibly popular. The combination of bright musical talent with the appearance of the heroine, the anime made the drummer an object of worship for a huge number of users of the World Wide Web.
