JANET HILTON

JOJO MAYER Jojo Mayer is a highly acclaimed drummer born in Zürich and currently residing in New York City.

10 OCTOBER

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 and bass music on acoustic drums. He terms this technique ‘reverse engineering’ – a phrase borrowed from computing. Mayer 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 these techniques, he can play beats at astonishing speeds.
