  • This Senri Kawaguchi reaction is genuinely my first time ever seeing them perform in addition to my first time seeing this performance of "Crazy Fusion Drum Solo (Wupatki)".
    0:00 Intro
    0:22 Start of song
    4:28 Summary
    When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.
    You can checkout the artist's original track without my commentary here: • Senri Kawaguchi Crazy ...
    Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.

      What else can be said if someone like this can share the stage with Guthrie Govan and Marco Minneman. And the song in this video is played live and recorded alongside the bassist and keyboardist who have previously played alongside the living legend guitarist extraordinaire Al Dimeola. Senri is such an accomplished musician who also writes her own music. and where time signatures are concerned, its mind boggling in her coordination. Next this reactor needs to check out is the younger "sister" Kanade Sato.

Ian Paice of Deep Purple just put out a 2 min unsolicited "advert" for her original prog rock piece Sparkling. ua-cam.com/video/VKmZeBG5A0M/v-deo.html

    Senri is one of the most tasteful drummers going around. Many testosterone filled male drummers tend to try and show off too much and their playing sounds more like a technical exercise rather than music. If you watch any of her videos her playing fits the music perfectly.

    @TomClark-Futoura 2 роки тому +19

    Senri has given us thousands of great videos with all kinds of bands, music, solos and players. I think she's done more at her age than any other drummer. When she's in a band, she's always showcased with plenty of solos. I want (and glad to see) her zero in more on her own soulfulness and originality. And also drop some albums based on that, then hit a few year-long world tours so more people (outside of Japan), can go see her live. I would hope she could write or co-write some new music within the hard rock / jazz fusion / prog-techno-whatever genres and mostly avoid copy tunes. Senri should be more of an international sensation, not only a Japanese-centric performer.
    Senri has been one of the top drummers in the world since about the age of 12. She’s 25 now. 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 4 or 5 groups at a time. She even plays great hard rock prog fusion as well as straight on jazz. She did a lot of this while she attending college, too!!
    I've been following Senri Kawaguchi for more than a decade and consider her to be one of the best drummers in the world, Band-Maid the best Hard Rock band, The Warning to be the best original rock band, Hiromi Uehara the best jazz fusion pianist, Yuja Wang the best classical pianist, and Tatiana from Jinjer the best Metal vocalist -- amazingly, all women!

    For me, as a drummer, and in a learning process as well, ther`s no doubt, Senri is today`s top female drummer in the world. Lots of dynamics, chops, sense of timing with hi hat work, and a very powerful sound around toms and snare combinations. I love absolutely her approach, and the perfect balance with the music.

    Her nickname is The Smiling Assassin because when she finishes a complex bar she smiles. A shorter video of hers is called Zildian Factory Tour and it’s insane! Japan has an amazing music scene. Many of the bass players use 5 or 6 string basses. As far as other Japanese drummers, Kanade Sato and Akira Jimbo. Fumiya, who is in Unlucky Morpheus a speed metal band, I believe was born in the Philippines and he’s been in other metal bands. South America has some incredible drummers like Aquiles Priester and Keiko Freitas.

      It's not that unbelievable or crazy. Senri is a Jazz/Fusion drummer and there are plenty of drummers that don't listen to Jazz/Fusion. It's not a music style a lot of people tend to gravitate towards either. There is so much different music from all around the world that there are bound to be blind spots for everyone.
      I don't think it makes you any less of a drummer if you haven't heard of her.
      I would even go as far as to say that there are probably more drummers who never heard of her than there are drummers who have.

Crazy youtube algorithm! (🖕 The flip is for whoever against me eheh)

      Not everyone listens to jazz/fusion.

    Yoyoka is better and she's only 12. One of the best in the world

      I love Yoyoka (I'm a Patreon even)... but she's not on Senri's level yet. Definitely one day.

      Yoyoka is amazing, deserving of her popular career, but Senri is on level with the best in the world. but they're also like 12 years apart, Yoyoka's clearly still advancing. But Senri has long been beyond where i could tell, whether one part is harder than another...

      Yoyoka is an awesome drummer and will go really far but Senri is far more technically advanced

    I’d love to hear her play Thrash Metal ! Who knows what her talent level is or what she can play .
