I assume this band is performing with a lot of different drummers during the event, so probably don’t always know what to expect going in. “So, a 13 year old wants to cover ‘Seven Days’? Ummm, ok…” and then about two bars in, “Ohhh, OK then!”

You can tell how good Yoyoka was from the smile on the bass player's face! 😍

A well deserved standing ovation.

WOW Yoyoka big standing ovation !! 😁✌️

This is what's considered 'pop' music in the 90's.. how lucky were we. :)

Who ever thought a little thirteen year old Japanese girl would have taken the drumming world by storm. She always makes it look so easy too. Amazing!

One word, ‘Proud’. Like watching your little sister blossom. ❤️

Yoyoka’s level of professionalism and maturity at her age just blows me away. What a fantastic performance.🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰

I just can’t quit watching

That was FANTASTIC and Sting never sounded better!!!

Why am I tearing up at the crowd's reaction? How I envy them.

It’s one thing to be able to jam with the original recordings.. it’s another thing altogether to hold the song down .. and not just any song.. an odd time song with seasoned professionals as well.. and that groove was real.

Fantasy Drum Camp: Where kids go to learn how to be drummers, and the instructors got to listen to Yoyoka level up.

I am so proud of you that when the audience applauded I got emotional.

what joy and talent ❤

That vocalist has to be extremely thankful to be singing with Yoyoka. So bloody pitchy. That drummer she is already a phenom.

As always so proud of you Yoyoka. ❤❤❤❤❤😊.

OMG, she breezes through this smooth yet very difficult Sting song!! AND this is an unrehearsed one-take performance.... 😲totally amazing!!

I absolutely love all of the "holy crap" nods from Hagar towards Yoyoka!

Hagar Ben Ari plays with Pomplamoose and I think Scary Pockets too. Fantastic ! She looks like she's having genuine fun playing with Yoyoka.

A drummer GOD walks among us.... fantastic!

I'm so jealous of those in attendance. Only time in my life I wish I lived in SoCal. YOYOKA was brilliant!!!

Awesome. Simply outstanding from the young drummer. ❤

What a genius musician - Yoyoka - almost bringing tears to my eyes!

Well, that sure brought an ear-to-ear smile to my face! Loved everyone’s reaction too. 😊

This kid has turned into one of the most formidable musicians on the worldwide block. I wish she would never leave the U.S., as the opportunities that exist for her would be here in America, right? Not anymore - all opportunities are working there way to her. Simple fact ~ she will earn this trophy. Just so sick and tired of watching Ingenues come in off of some fame trip, American Idol and believe that the band will come to them. The band of the century - not hardly a chance. I cannot wait to see the top musicians and bands come to HER to record their music. She will be a formidable leader in the industry, not one doubt. Drummer on records, or recording engineer, or producer ~ this Yoyo is set for the throne in the music industry. Parents have kept her safe from moguls who want to use and abuse her talent for profit - excellent job they have done! Nobel Prize efforts to keep this kid sheltered and focused on her passion. They too, have shown incredible business and wellness sense ~ power to them and prayers. Best of luck, kid ~ and cheers to the family!

This live unrehearsed performance as well as her live practice stream over the weekend absolutely mind blowing stuff🤯the growth in Yoyoka’s playing in less than two years is astounding, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it

Well deserved standing ovation! It's amazing how modest she is about her abilities! It makes her so uncomfortable to get the respect and recognition that she is always given, and so well deserves. What a wonderful human being and a gift to us all! I feel blessed to have met her (and all the Soma's)!

I love Sting and adore Yoyoka!

she can do in live band perfectly. for me she's one of the best female drummers in the world of professional drummers.

Yoyoka , you just wowed a room full of adults. You’re so professional on challenging technical pieces. Well done.

Couldn’t tell if it was Stewart Copeland, or Vinnie Colaiuta, or you playing the drums if I was blindfolded. Great performance

Really not easy to reproduce the absolute genius of Vinnie Colaiuta, one of the best drummer in the world, but this girl can do anything...

I've watched this so meny times. blown away by how awesom this drum track is.🥁⚡☝🏻🤘🏼👍✨🌟

Vinnie Colauita would approve this!! 👍🤘❤️🇮🇩

Brilliant Yoyoka! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤❤❤❤ 🎼🎵🎶🥁🎶🥁🥁🎶🎵🥁🎵🎶🎵🥁🥁🥁🥁🎵🎶🎵🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🎵🎶🥁🎵🎵🥁🎶🎵🥁🎵🎶🎶🥁🎵🎵🎵🥁🥁🎵🎵🎵🥁🥁🥁❤❤❤

She was in the pocket. And played very maturely and did what was perfect for the song. She’s so ahead of the game for her age in that aspect. So many drummers much older just want to show off their chops not thinking about how to benefit the song. I was guilty of that lol

Once again great art from Yoyoka and moreover, she puts everyone in confidence. One word amazing. Congratulations to all the band

Bravo yoyoka!… live band to seven days what a great cover👏👏👏🔥🥁🤩😁

So unrehearsed the bassist suggests how she will come in, the singer asks for the count, then the basist falls into Yoyokas groove so easily that she casts a smile, the guitar and keyboard player decorate the mood and speaking of smiling that guy in the front row with glasses was grinning from ear to ear the whole time and the whole thing is flawless first take. That's the Yoyoka Effect.

Yoyoka - one of my favorite covers! Band did great but if you watch, all eyes are on you!!! You did great - thanks!!🤓🥁

to make odd time signatures groove is a hallmark of great drummers. i love the double time kick drum sections. keep studying the greats, Yoyoka! 20-30 years down the road, a young kid will discover your playing and you will inspire them on to greatness. bass player's smile says it all.

Fantastic! Always such an amazing job! You never disappoint!❤

This was too cool. I'll bet this was a very special event to have attended and a real treat for those who did. God's blessings!

This is astounding. She looks like she's been playing this every night with this band for ages, and yet they did it with no rehearsal. Wow. This is why Yoyoka will be very highly sought after - she masters the track in very little time, she is extremely consistent and yet can improvise when called for, and she will show up sober and on time lol. Those last two points are actually more important to some top-level producers than the rest in fact, as a friend of mine told me when he went to Las Vegas to do session and live work.

yoyoka is the real deal!!!! i always say she is the next neil peart! ❤️

Vinnie had to smile for a long time after watching this. He was probably bug eyed with mouth open half way through it, cheering her on. Dude deserves some appreciation like having Yoyoka tracking his every move like a bloodhound. She's coming for you, man, and there's nowhere to hide.

standing ovationが起こるロスでの演奏‼️ YOYOKAは日本が誇れるドラマーです👍✨ hard rockのパワフルなdrummingとはまた違う、変拍子の大人の世界をも難なくこなす！ めちゃくちゃカッコいいです❤

よよかちゃんの叩くドラム好きすぎます。今回のドラムも歌も全部良すぎてCD出してほしいです！ すでにリピートして聞かせてもらってます！

She takes a tough song and doesn't miss a beat. Even if she did - she would most likely improvise a fill that sounded better anyway! 💓

shes so efffin goooood!!!!

You can tell the audience are drummers. They applaud the tight transitions.

Great performance, the bassist also deserves a shout out, the two of you seemed to lock in so well especially seem the fact that it was un rehearsed. Impressive!

What the young talent here is playing on the drums is top notch! Incredibly good for its age and played very cleanly. A great talent. Vinnie Colaiuta and Sting would have been happy if they had witnessed that. Many greetings from Germany.

yoyoka音乐感觉实在是太好了，她本能知道自己在音乐中的位置！这不是能力，这是天赋！

I am so proud of you Yoyoka! I have listened at least ten times this morning!

Ok I guess this is officially the Yoyoka video I keep coming back to the most. This sounds so good. Whenever I'm getting upset I watch this and it catches my attention and calms me down every time.

If they didn’t know Yoyoka, they do now!

I think they were impressed. As they should be🙂. I knew that was Hagar on the bass!

Well done you!!! You inspired a 45 year old drummer, thank you! 👏👏👏

Serious "what just happened??" vibes from the audience.

We love You YOYOKA!

Sting should see this.

Someone should get this off to Mr Copeland... stat! He will love it to bits. A breath taking example of exponential growth Yoyoka-san. You blew my mind yet again. Thank you for sharing... once more.

That was SO GOOD Yoyoka!!!

Excellent Consistency and focus ❤❤❤ that 5/4 such a tempo to handle (to me) but you made look so easy.. Amazing you Yoyoka!

Yoyoka is my fav. female drummer … 🥁 I’ve been playing drums all my life (a long time!) and she blows me away with her skill and knowledge of all the hard to play music .. Stewart Copeland would be so proud ..

ワオ❗リハーサル無しのぶっつけ本番😳 スタンディングオベーションが全てを物語る👍😄

I saw the bassist play with Dave Weckl and Simon Phillips in another clip - she seemed more happy here. She is the bassist on the CBS Late night show

Superb performance Yoyoka!!! The whole group was wonderful! Watching you get that standing ovation brought happy tears to my eyes..

That bass player looks so familiar. it is HAGAR!!?? from the: youtube.com/@TheLateLateShow she is awesome!! the whole late night band was great and funny!! ive loved yoyoka's drumming for years and loved the LateLateShow band also. im so glad Hagar and Yoyoka got to meet and play together. 😂

Those ride cymbal highlights with the bell are so fine!

I have watched this video many times and the many reaction videos from many people. The bottom line is, it doesn't get better than this( Well Sting and Vinnie may differ). Many thanks to the talented musicians present to perform this great song and Yoyoka's eponymous performance! Thanks, Mark

I have followed the family's musical journey for quite some time. To see her sky rocketing magical..musical transformation over the past few years...is phenomenal. Imagine being the parents of Mozart. I see a similar trajectory with Yoyo. Happy..Happy..Happy.

Beautiful jam!

Yoyo fits seamlessly into any groove. She made light work of this complicated Stuart Copeland drum set. So impressive. Thank you for sharing. Pat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

YOYOKAとバンドの華麗なパフォーマンス。 あなたはスタンディングオベーションに値しました。 👏 ヘイガーが曲全体をグルーヴし、ヴィニーと拳をぶつけ合っているのを見ると、心が温かくなります。 😂 デビッド・ガリバルディ、ゲイリー・ハズバンド、ラーネル・ルイス、デイブ・ウェックルによる 4 日間の指導に参加し、楽しんでいただけたことを願っています。 あなたは素晴らしいプロのミュージシャンたちと演奏しました。 聴衆は知識が豊富で、非常に感謝しているようでした。 あなたが生涯にわたる友情を築くことを願っています。 士道さん、そしてお父さん、お母さんのご多幸をお祈りします。 ☮ Glorious Performance YOYOKA and band. You deserved the standing ovation. 👏 Seeing Hagar grooving the whole song, and the fist-bump with Vinny was heartwarning. 😂 I hope you attended and enjoyed all 4 days of instruction with David Garibaldi, Gary Husband, Larnell Lewis and Dave Weckl. You played with some great professional musicians. The audience seemed knowledgeable and very appreciative. I hope you made life-long friendships. Best Wishes to You, Shido, and your Mum and Dad. ☮

Que groove tiene ese joven batero!! me recuerda a Jeff Porcaro, maneja esos 5/4 excelente!!

The Hokkaido Hammer 🔨 continues to smash my expectations of her abilities. This is lightning in a bottle folks. She keeps giving us these incredible musical moments ~ her work on the Japan tour was killer and her work with the jazz quartet is brilliant! Now this masterful live performance. I have a feeling we ain't seen nothing yet.

Great drumming. Max would be proud!

THE PROF IN TOP FORM, KILLING IT LIVE BRAVO.

If someone already commented on this, my apologies...but the count-in was perfect! Subsiding on 3-4-5 and tapping harder back on 1...that couldn't have been a better tempo setup.

Very smooth! Nicely done :)

0:43 Love the bass lady looking at Yoyoka.

世界で演奏するドラマー 本当に楽しみです、でもね無理はしないで下さい。身体が一番大切だからね

Very cool; awesome as always, Yoyoka!

That look from the guitar at 2:40

いい感じですね！StingもPoliceも大好きです

Damn that was awesome 👏🏻

Goooo Yoyoka!

Drummer is absolutely fantastic! Really hard song to play for drummers...

Elite drumming!

WOW!!! From San Diego

Nailed it - not exactly an easy song to play...and the tuning of those drums was fab. Yoyoka - the reason that middle aged men give up playing the drums and take up golf.

Clearly YOYOKA in her element, getting accolades from her peers who recognize the talent just displayed. YOYOKA always uncomfortable with praise, accepting humbly as she walks off the stage.

I loved it!

Great performance!

Thanks ❣️

Amazing!

amazing
