Senri Kawaguchi “Ladies Talk” Drum Performance 

You arent alone. Glory for the K-on!

yeah, and it's almost 9 years ago, time flies.

Please tell me is this the same girl? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0xDAjGv5Cwc.html

@@wherethetreegrows that is kanade sato

@@wherethetreegrows ofcourse not, Senri ≠ Sato

It's pure, perfect technique. It is light and effortless, and at the same time she's hitting HARD. It 's just breathtaking.

Stoked to hear that!

when you can learn to read drums without looking it's like to start watching movies in another language without subtitles. develop your listening skills, my friend ;)

@@teacherfromthejungles6671 lol

@@DIABOLOS what's so funny? if you can't play some song after just listening to it that means your skill is pretty low tell me if I'm wrong

@@teacherfromthejungles6671 highly depends on the song. Playing Dance of Eternity just by listening to it is harder than playing Seven Nation Army just by listening to it.

@@SeanStephensen I learned how to drum repeating after Suicide Silence, Arsonists Get All The Girls, and some other crazy bands from 2007-8s. Now I listen something more light and musically interesting, like TTNG, Tiny Moving Parts, Strawberry Girls and Delta Sleep. And improve my skills by covering their songs. Check them out, their drummers are just incredible.

That's what Japanese girls are like. It is an unusual country.

yeah indeed

I would wear a popcorn dress if it made me play that good.

Agreed, the hihat isn't loud enough.

.

Ya, I think the mic should have been down lower and closer to the edge. That top cymbal of the hi hat can only travel a little bit so there's no chance of it slamming into the mic. Is that an Audio Technica 4041? If it is, that's a great mic for hi hat - one that beats the Shure SM81. The rest of the drums are perfect: I'm puzzled how the engineer missed the boat on this one.

You are very welcome!

Fantastic suggestion, hope someone can make it happen ! Love Yoko Kanno.

Well, there's a live action Bebop coming up.........

there's no such thing as talent skills and skills only nobody can be born with a "talent" of playing jazz

@@teacherfromthejungles6671 your statement is simply too stupid and absurd to debate.

@@RobinC63 it's you who is stupid ;)

@@teacherfromthejungles6671 oh, talent does exist trust me

​@@TronciM If it's talent, then why does everyone who plays like only do so after putting in many thousands of hours doing it? You can have physical traits that make it easier for you to do some things than others, and maybe traits that make it impossible for you to do some things (at least competitively.) But everyone who really does something great has basically two things going on. 1-They like it and 2-Therefore they do it all the time. Often 3-They start young and have 1&2, therefore they are very good at a pretty young age. And very often 4-They get some sort of recognition young from it. Everyone wants to be special and that drives them and mastery of that thing comes to define them in their own minds, which again makes them do it all the time and really want it badly. Lots of people then act like it's some gift from the gods, but it's work and practice and desire. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to put in 20,000 hours doing it in order to be that good. I think the mistake is comparing them to people who never get that good. In almost all cases, they won't have worked as hard, or they have other interests that distract them, or they just do it and don't live it and think about it all the time and study it as a science at the same time as they develop it as an art. Those things make a huge difference. And yes, in some cases genetics will factor in, though that's not too much of an issue with drumming, as proven by the wide variety of humans who are good drummers.

Word!

I know, right? The whole kit is overmiced/compressed to give that super-punchy, dirty sound during kick/cymbal hits, but the snare is so bold and clean yet nuanced. It's so good!

Because art needs context. What is the context here? Music has cultural significance and anyone can be programmed to do anything. Is that the context?

@@ME-ru4hv I can appreciate "context" - but if the "complaint" is about context but not about the drumming skills, then a "thumbs down" should be qualified/elaborated in a comment...similarly, I'm not a fan of certain music genres, but I can separate my enjoyment/appreciation of a musician's skills even if I'm not enjoying the song being played...I think it is unfair to necessarily "throw the baby out with the bath water"...

@@davidseres3030 I dont personally think it deserves an actual thumbs down. But to me it shows something almost no one else sees or wants to admit. The great lameification. but yea shes a good tech drummer showing off with jazz. To each their own. Its not hating to say that. Maybe she will read it and discover Wired or Blow by blow. Or even Crimson's Red. In that case, I'm her biggest fan ever

@@ME-ru4hv Thanks for the explanation/clarification...can you explain what you meant by "lameification"?...you are entitled to express your opinion...I would need to check out the music you mentioned...
