The Perfect Balance Pedal is a carefully calibrated system that optimizes the linear translation of your foot movements and makes many adjustments expendable. At that point SONOR joined the project and contributed their German precision engineering and an innovative solution for the folding mechanism and self-mounting hoop clamp that works at the push of a button. Other than the action, easy portability and quick set up was a main concern to me. For about six years I experimented with different parts, drive systems and footboards until I had the blueprint for the pedal that you have in front of you. So I started my quest to put together a perfectly balanced pedal that matches the requirements of today’s music. Many pedals try to compensate for this problem with elaborate adjustability but only with limited success. Like an unbalanced stick, this becomes a considerable disadvantage to execute many of my pedal techniques which allow me to generate effortless speed without sacrificing power. Once the original vintage designs were altered to meet the demand for more striking power, the perfectly balanced action got lost and became top heavy. I found that compared to some legendary vintage pedals from the fifties, most contemporary pedals have plenty of speed and throw on the forward motion, but sluggish response on the beater return. Unfortunately, I could never find a pedal that really worked for me. Jojo about the pedal: "Over the past two decades, I acquired and played pretty much every pedal on the market. This fall / winter 2012, he will perform a 3 month workshop tour with his new pedal, taking him to 17 countries! He is the leader of live electronica trio Nerve, which he founded in 1997, and author of "Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer" teaching DVD, one of the most successful drumming DVDs, released in 2008.
A few of his main influences areTony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Buddy Rich. 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".
Jojo is known for bringing together jazz, drum and bass, jungle, and other influences. Eventually, after playing with a great variety of artists, he moved away from jazz and into Drum 'n' Bass. Touring with the group launched him into the major jazz music scene, and he has played at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux, Nice, and Athens etc., which culminated with his gigging with jazz-greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone.
