Aside from a few seconds missing here and there (due to either changing cameras, a song starting unexpectedly or something), most of Senri's show at the annual London Drum Show is here.
All of the performance was filmed with a small Lumix ZS60 camera (TZ70 in Europe), completely hand-held. Recording sound is not so bad, considering it is coming from the camera's tiny built-in mics.
There is a bit of shake here and there, and any really excessive shake was blacked out or omitted very briefly as I couldn't resist applauding, like everyone else, sometimes!
Since posting this, I've had a number of rude, insulting comments from morons about the camera shake, so I'd better mention that I was holding the camera up (without any support) to film above people's heads, etc., for over half an hour. I had to switch hands once in awhile (which naturally caused some shake/vibration), and when zooming in close with a really long lens- again 'hand-held'- it's virtually impossible not to experience 'some' camera shake. I wasn't trying to win any awards for videography, but only wanted to share my friend's wonderful performance.
Finally, Senri's Q&A session is cut short here, as questions from the audience seemed to be limited almost exclusively from one woman who seemed to want to show off her skills at speaking Japanese, while everyone else had to just sit and wait during the lengthy translation session which included such fascinating questions (from said audience member) such as whether or not Senri ever attempted to play Taiko drums, etc.
Filmed at the Olympia on Sunday, November 11th, 2018.
