Drum Teacher Reacts to Senri Kawaguchi - Drum Solo 

She’s beyond excellent with her technique but she is also stratosphere level creative

Always good reactions. Just a note on Senri's count. If you look closely when she holds up her stick she's showing us it broke. Didn't drop it. She handled that cool as a cucumber and literally didn't miss a beat.

I've watched now, a collection of Drummers/Drum Teachers, analyze Senri, And everyone of them is truly impressed. This particular Teacher has seen it all, and he is also very impressed. Senri is indeed a revelation. She plays all genres to a virtuoso level. She is all over youtube proving it.

Senri is THE BEST Female drummer in the World! PERIOD!

She was trained by Kozo Sugunama since she was 8 years old, it kinda explains why her hand techniques are so well developed

She has a lot more videos with more complex drumming playing jazz or with Guthrie Govan. This is like the appetizer before the full meal 😅😅😅

one of my favorite young drummers. I love that she's not just copying Rush's Tom Sawyer but creating her own thing. Nothing wrong with copying your favorite drummers but eventually you need to start doing your own thing and creating your own stuff. That's where the rubber meets the road. Same with Anika Nilles, another fine young drummer doing her own thing

You can't help feel happy watching her. There are videos when she was younger.

I saw Senri a year ago on a Drumeo solo feature and she blew me away. What I loved about her performance was how much fun she seemed to have while playing. Great joy displayed. Thanks for this one Garey

Senri is amazing.

The thing is with her age being so good , maximum good , with this Drumset Artistry who lays it out so good , what we need more !!!!

It's nice to hear from an expert, technical reasons for appreciating Ms. Kawaguchi's performance. Heretofore I appreciated the latter in an ignorant way. What Mr. Williams doesn't mention is Ms. Kawaguchi's superlative overall charm.

Groove, musicality, and creativity 👏👏👏very clever and loved the use of silence 👍🏻🥂

I really like her playing! She loves what she's doing...that's so much fun to watch.

senri is awesome. she is also the bandleader of tokyo based "the jazz avengers", an all female jazz project. they have a lot of fantastic female drummers over there in japan. tamu murata is another one of them. and they have wonderkids like yoyoka and junna. they must have something in the water over there. thank you for your professionell reaction/analysis.

Wow! Ms. Senri Kawaguchi is out of this world! Blessings to her and all of you! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💐

I'm so glad you finally did a review of Senri. I was certainly one of the people pushing her lol. There are lots of videos of her as far back as 8 yrs old and even before that. I saw someone else mentioned Kanade Sato. She is another one to check out. Still hoping you will take a look at Simon Philips playing with Hiromi Uehara as the Trio Project. In particular his solo on the song "Move."

What we saw here is a drop of what she's capable of

Nice channel thanks Garey😊

DAMN.

So much wisdom in this video

I wonder if she is related to George Kawaguchi, the great big band leader ( it might have been the Sharps and Flats Big Band ). He used a double bass drum setup like Louie Bellson, great playing by her.

She 22 here and been at it since age 2 . By the time she was 16, she was approaching this level

Stick broke, keep chill LMAO🤣🤣 Senri play is always awesome sight to see👍👍👍

Senri also has older drum videos on youtube from when she was 9, or possibly even younger. She also had a period where she drummed over the tunes of Japanese kid's shows, I think. Worth checking out; very fun and creative.

Thank you I asked you about this yesterday

She knocked it out the ball park!!!!

Fantastic solo!! reminded me of Shiela E

She is smooth. I would be interested in a Cindy Blackman Santana video. She seems to be overlooked a bit.

She is fantastic!!!!

Just to make things clear about you saying (8.49) Senri dropped the stick. What happen there was the drum stick actually broke and she was showing the camera what just happen (7.17). Nothing bad on your part but just so others who didn't catch it realize what happen. Keep up your good work!!

2 words *THE BEST*

She is developing nice left handed rolls that were a Buddy Rich specialty.

Her and Kanade are unreal!

Senri I love you so much.

Senri's Dad let Her try an electric set He had when She 5 years old.The rest is history - - ->>> I think at this filming She is 16 !!!!!!

great feel

You should also check out Kanade Sato, she's even younger but already insanely good. Here's her at 11: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XYpFL08m5fQ.html And here's her in a drum battle with Senri Kawaguchi: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sf3DgS3LEA.html Yoyoka is fantastic as well. Here's her covering Good Times Bad Times by Led Zeppelin at 8 years old: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-91pz1E8pAOY.html

She didn't drop her stick. She broke it.

Dear Garey, Please react to Robert 'Sput' Searight - Actual Proof (21 Drums 2019). Open handed player with a lot of groove

Make a reaction of Bruno Valverde, one of the best drummers in Brazil, he is the drummer of the Brazillian band Angra. You will surely be surprised.

For the record, she broke the stick rather than dropped it

And there goes to theory of 10,000 hours of practice to master the craft. She's remarkable. Just not fair.

So good. ACE

There is another Japanese drummer you might want to take a look at who has a connection to Senri. Bear in mind that this is not mentioned to take anything away from Senri. She is undoubtedly the the most skilled female drummer in the world. She can lay down complex grooves which many men cannot do. Very powerful drummer. She went through the metal phase with her drumming about six years ago, then migrated to fusion and jazz. This is a good drum solo here, but there is another one, which I cannot find right now, otherwise I would post it of her doing a drum solo over thirty minutes long. But I would like you to have a look at this other Japanese drummer who has taken the drumming and music world by storm. Another incredible musician, but this one is a little more unique in the sense that she never had a drum lesson until about six months ago or so. She has been playing as a professional for about four years. She already has three albums under her belt and is currently working on her fourth. She also writes music for commercials and theme songs. Here name is Yoyoka Soma. This is a video which was posted on the internet a little over two years ago and it went viral. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-91pz1E8pAOY.html This next video put her on the map. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d8iYNZeMMZ0.html This is what most people know her for flawless covers. She has played in a band and basically toured Japan for the last four years. She is also a studio and session musician. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eYEk0uNeUVo.html When she was eight she first appeared on the Ellen show. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-agW6LpJhh60.html then again ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kKQuG0qXinQ.html That is what the public is paying attention to. Her professional professional work get maybe only a tenth of the views of her covers, but have been watched by millions of people with her performing on live TV. Here she is on stage doing a solo performance then goes into playing a swing song, Swing, Swing, Swing on the back of her performance. She is eight years old. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fEDijfTTTPo.html This is her playing at a rock concert with some of the top rock musicians in Japan. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rDva1QW3VCA.html On stage with Cyndi Lauper go to 2:00 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T5hPkB6D-qU.html Then again at TGC 2019 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mq6x_OJQDxk.html If you watch her drum lesson 29, you will see what kind of drummer she is. The video is in Japanese, with English subs. Firefox does not pick up the subs. Again, this in not to take anything from Senri as she is a very talented drummer. Just didn't know how to send you an email. Yoyoka has covered several of Senri's songs. Senri has paved the way regarding where Yoyoka is going. Just wanted to get your take on Yoyoka. There is so much more to this little girl. She just stole the 2020 NAMM show. But with all the commercials and performances she is doing, this last video will let you know that she is still a little girl. It also shows that there is going to be a conflict with her drumming in the future due to her ability to sing. She may end up being a Don Henley or a Dave Ghrol. Circling back to the connection between the two of them, it would not surprise me to see them, together at come point in the future with Senri and Yoyoka teaming up with Senri playing drums, Yoyoka singing, Juna Serita playing bass and so on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_iMrpZ3Vzg.html

She broke her stick I have followed her for years

If you wish to see the Mozart of drummers, check out Yoyoka Soma. She is a 10-year-old drummer. She plays in a professional rock band with her parents, who are also musicians. She started drumming at the age of two, joined her parent's band at the age of five, has played in rock concerts with Fall Out Boy and Cyndi Lauper, been praised by the likes of Dave Grohl, Jimmy Page and Gene Simmons, appeared twice on the Ellen de Generis show - amongst other things. Other than her otherworldly talent and groove, she is just a joy to watch, because music and drumming is the love of her life. Wondered if you would react to her rendition of the Jeff Porcaro shuffle in Toto's Rosanna - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6P-tTLmuKo0.html Afterwards, check out some of her other videos: 1) her playing live at her seventh birthday - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MkhGgqXywU8.html 2) channeling Gene Krupa at a 14,000 seat arena corporate gig - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fEDijfTTTPo.html (she was 8 years old at the time) 3) playing with some of Japan's top rockers at an outdoor rock festival (also when she was 8) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rDva1QW3VCA.html And lastly, here she is chilling at home - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LQGjRWwamAA.html

How can you not react to Kanade Sato if you react to Senri, Kanade not only commands rhythms and syncopation like Senri but she creates, that puts Kanade onto a whole different level from most drummers today. Both are great drummers, but Kanade is an artist!

Bro after your reaction is drummer Sendi Kawaguchi from Japan, I want to recommend you one of the best drummers in Indonesia... he's named Ray Prasetya...with the title "Ray Prasetya & SABIAN Cymbal Headline" Awesome...I hope you like it.

Check out her song Blowin Luv. I've never seen anything like it - amazing. Pure. Accurate. Complex. Sustained effort. Incredible. Believe me - you've never seen or heard anything like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_NA_4cEWiSk.html

cool video. you may want to react to Kanade Sato, 18 year old exceptional drummer lady

Love your channel. Dennis Chambers please.

A good drummer to check out would be Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad a song called T.N.U.C.

Do a reaction video of Ryuga, also from Japan.

Check out Kanade Sato, 15 year old that plays like Dave Weckel, she even does Brecker Bros. covers.

7:16 omg look how fast she took her hand took the new stick like im so mindblowned🤯🤯🤯🤯

Senri i love you poland

This is a newer clip, she is 21 now, been playing this good since age 16, started at 2

❤🥁

She did this with jet lag too.

Pazzesca!!!!!

The first thing I ever heard was her opening a Yucco Miller piece and thought when i shut my eyes that it was Billy Cobham

Every time I think I suck an X amount, I see a drummer (like Senri) who makes me understand I actually suck a lot more that I thought.

Great review, Garey. BTW - I think her stick broke. Anyway, check out this little 1 minute demonstration of Senri’s kick-ass-ness: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uZMdWEQ5IG8.html&lc=z23msxeaopehjlty404t1aokgmlqkuwaymwepsobcrvlrk0h00410&feature=em-comments Senri has been one of the top drummers in the world since about the age of 12. She’s 22 now, I believe. All the top players want time with her and has recorded with many of the greats. She has a number of excellent jazz fusion albums and is always in 3 or 4 groups at a time. She even plays great hard rock jazz fusion as well as straight on jazz. I consider Senri and Simon two of the best drummers in the world, as is Band-Maid the best Hard Rock band in the world, Hiromi the best original hard hitting jazz fusion pianist (especially love when she's playing with Simon P) and Yuja Wang the best classical pianist. Amazingly, all women!

drum teacher 2020: i barely heard her play. i would look else where.

Look a little closer. She didn't drop a stick... she broke it. You can see the top one-third of the stick fly off in front of the drums at 7:15 ... and she showed the remaining part in her hand. Not too shabby on the power, especially considering that she only weighs around 100 lbs.

She’s not as young as you thinking. She went 23 years old this year 2020. 2020, the year that the earth stood still.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable

What do you think about Sugarfoot Moffitt?

Do Nyango Star.

Senri is amazing! Great video. PLEASE react to JUNNA, Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Would love to hear your expert opinion. Thanks!

YOYOKA "Burn" deep purple, Thanks

i think just a few guys can play like her

Yes, she is phenomenal but, what does she think and possibly learn from Sugarfoot Moffit of Michael Jackson, Madonna etc fame? Lead with the bass.

I think you meant " prodigy " young drummer....you said, " protege " and I was confused a sec.

Drumset Artistry. Loved your reaction. You know what you’re talking about. Would like to see what you think of Kanade Sato. She’s 12 in this video m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tu70pGAgW6M.html. 16-18 now. Not sure exactly how old she is now. But she has played with Senri m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sf3DgS3LEA.html before. I think Senri is 3 or4 years older than Kanade. They are both simply amazing. Edit: spelling

Akira Jimbo please

Junna please.Keith moon/John bonham hitter.

Bobby Jarzombek

Hey I’d like to see some of your drumming skills!!!!

Notice the recording dates: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jDngvBMT2Zc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--CdOxI6Typc.html

Garey, why don't you check out Tamu Murata and comment on her style and energy. I'd be sure to hear your thoughts.

She uses special, longer sticks and a particular balance in order to give BEEF despite her small arms.

Protoge? Yes, back in the day Kozo Suganuma was her teacher. That was years ago. Catch up with her actual playing with groups live. She is muy sympatico. With less talented groups, she quickly assumes a leader role. In other words, she drives the band. In her 20's.

Wow.....very clinical.....but genius all the same.....cheers

one word 6 letters "YOYOKA"

React to Larnell Lewis -"one listen, play perfect"- video... it's awesome, promise you!

Yeah but could you play that!!??

Zach Hillllllllll

Still my favorite video of hers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BA3lvWaC7PY.html

If you're a Senri 's fan ... how could you miss Kanade Sato, the greatest drum prodigy. I really wanna see you react to her video if that's possible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5jDVZPzfS1c.html

people are crying here. these shitheads on the comment section is comparing female drummers for fun. if you really know your stuff, SENRI is clear from ANY OTHER DRUMMER ON THIS PLANET (well, at one point, she will)

Are you rushing or dragging?

What have you done to the recording? There's no base sound in the kick or the toms. Can't listen to that.

All these people talking YT drummers need to get their head out of the clouds as an oft overlooked female drummer is Santana touring drummer and serial Lenny Kravitz drummer Cindy Blackman. She is seriously talented and has the discography to prove it. A lot of the time it is less about how the person plays for many of these these thirsty voters as many don’t know a floor tom from a tom tom or a crash from a splash.

スゲーな。。しかし。。。

WTF is up with the audio?

People know Senri but who the hell are you?

Prodigy, not protégé.

it would be useful if this alleged Maestro performed phrasing, exercises and feelings directly on the drums. not to tell but to explain technically and substantially.
