She was a fusion drummer at first - but pretty versatile as you can see 😉. Multi-instrumentist too (piano was her first instrument and she's still playing it fine), guitar, bass, sax ... And she sings. And cooks (she has a dedicated channel). And of course she's a mother of two adorable little girls. Superwoman.
Tamu is a session drummer. She has participated in many artists, musicians' projects and live performances. Sometime She plays the drums just looking at the sheet music when performing with some other artists or bands, Her understanding of music theory is amazing, it's probably about her being a multi-instrumentalist🤘🏻
Wow que tremenda artista Tamu Tamu! Nunca ví una baterista tocar tan hermoso ! Para mí es una de las mejores bateristas del mundo! Además tiene una hermosa sonrisa y maravillosa personalidad! 😎👌🇦🇷 Gracias amigos!
Thanks for helping spread the word of these amazing ladies to those who have worked in the industry! Murata Tamu has been sponsered by Tama drums for quite some time, she even used to go by the moniker 'tm tm' (Tom tom, like the type of drums on the set). During Naon の Yaon in 2021, Tamu filled in for Gacharic Spin's drummer reading off of sheet music.
This is the Daisuke Kurosawa Project that did some of the best X Japan covers I've heard. The singer is a Toshi X Japan cover singer. The best video of Tamu is her audition for Yoshiki for his Lady X Japan project. He was stunned when she finished playing the cover of "Kurenai". He asked her what BPM level she has got to, answer 200 BPM. Yoshiki said he barely got to 160 BPM. Are you going to introduce your friend to Haruna or Akane? Nemophila will be in the US in March.
Tamu endorses Tama Drum (2016) and Meinl Cymbal (2019) and her cymbal work is very impressive. Yes this song seems easy for her - and was pretty recent (2020 I think) since at the age of 24 (2017) she played X JAPAN's Kurenai in front of the original drummer Yoshiki who was very impressed with her speed which she demonstrated there (around 180 bpm) and he was even more impressed learning that young Tamu at that age already reached 200 bpm speed.
TAMU living her best life. YOSHIKI clearly an important influence because she covers him a lot and jamming with TOSHI himself on vocals must be a special moment for her. 🥁🐸🏆
Thank you for the reaction. I apologize for the delay, while I was in Tokyo. Back to the reaction, I love Tamu . That should be obvious by now. Of course I went for another band which you know and will floor you when it comes out. Love them both.
This is a session project by Daisuke Kurosawa. They did covers of X Japan (maybe other ones?). sa'ToshI ("Toshi's doppelgänger from X Japan") on vocals. One of the guitars was played by Yashiro, Mary's Blood's constant touring support. Link to this recording in the normal, non-percussive version of X JAPAN - X ua-cam.com/video/vxdGCb_qXjs/v-deo.html I recommend a recording from another project in which Tamu performs: Tamu murata feat lady beard_D&D ua-cam.com/video/_u4VU1cz794/v-deo.html He not only plays the drums. This music is played over the end credits here.
holy moly... I don't think I've seen her play so fast in nemophila... this is a different group of musicians she's sitting in with... and she ALWAYS has that happy smile
The song played at the end of the video is an original song by Tamu Murata, collaborating with Lady Beard on a song called "Super D &D," which Tamu sings. Studio version ua-cam.com/video/z9xD3wJ0O7Y/v-deo.html Collaboration music video with Lady Beard ua-cam.com/video/-7zT9c9EfYw/v-deo.html

Covering Yoshiki’s stuff is always a full out sprint, but you should show him Tamu covering Nevermore by Symphony X or her doing Dream Theater where she has to use her whole brain! She is mind-bendingly good!💪🏻🤘🏻
Great guest. And bona-fide. Nemophila is March 9 At Echoplex in LA. The drummer in the last one who kept his head down had 2 surgeries from headbanging while playing.
The smiling RAITEI does it so easily. Metal is just a walk in the park for Muratatam. Then she plays keyboards, bass, sax and xylophone for fun. Plus she cooks as well.
As long as you are checking out drummers, you should check out Yoyoka's home page. You're sure to find something familiar that will bring a smile to your face from a drummer who earned a sponsorship from Pearl drums at the age of 8.
The thing is it's not where she shines the most. She can do amazing things, but in this kind of song, it's not where you have all the subtle things she can do. It's less impressive on the speed side of things with NEMOPHILA originals, but I find that there are many more nuances there. That's why I love NEMOPHILA. They drop an incredible amount of technicalities in their songs without it getting in the way of songs. EDIT PART : Damn I forgot the most essential, thanks for your work, stay safe out there, and have a nice day / evening.
I saw Senri Kawaguchi (on her birthday) a few days before Band Maid at TGT. By far, Senri live hits hard and with precision. I learned of Tamu, through her drum collab show with the puppets, when she had Senri on. She admired and matched Senri. Akane, Senri, Tamu and Haruna, man, Japan Rocks, Po! Btw, wouldn't it be cool if Tamu invited Akane on her cooking show, Po!? 😁🦍🍌
Drummer Japan decided to have a vote on the top drummers in Japan, male and female and all genres of music. Over 1700 drummers received votes out of almost 33,000 votes cast. Tamu came in at #47 which puts her in the top 3% of all Japanese professional drummers. Others I saw were Haruna of Lovebites at #42, Akane of Band-Maid at #116, Junna at #127 and Yoyoka at #143. Nao of Maximum The Hormone, probably an inspiration to all the drummers I mentioned (I know she is for Tamu and Akane), was at #95.
And here is a very promising future #1 Japanese drummer! Kii Kimura = "Junna / Yoyoka" hybrid. Truly insane drum talent. "Hit Like A Girl" back-to-back winner, 2021 & 2022 (Japan
Can't really see how to put Haruna above either Tamu or Akane. To be honest, I perceive Lovebites as a bit dull rythmically - it's the main reason I don't really enjoy their stuff. Admitted - I have no clue what Haruna is doing beyond Lovebites, so there may be something lost on me.
@@ottoweh Of the three, I personally put Haruna above Tamu and Akane. Akane, however, is much lower than I expected. I also don't agree at all that Lovebites is anywhere close to being dull rhythmically. I have always been impressed with how Haruna can do so much with such economy of movement.
A much better example of her amazing dynamics is her cover of Nevermore by Symphony X. It’s from her own channel and I’m positive you’d both really dig that one!💪🏻🤘🏻 ua-cam.com/video/T0cOsX06dio/v-deo.html
The singer cries out at the end of the song, changing the original shout 'see you again' etc., to 'make sure to subscribe and hit the good button!' lol (of course both in Japanese)
While this was fast, it might have been the least complex piece I've ever heard Tamu doing. So a bit of a disservice to her to pick this one for a drummer's reaction, as perfection in complexity is her real craft.
It would have been nice to show him the demo video of OIRAN, where MURATA demonstrates much more creativity. This song involves very fast drumming, and stamina, but that’s all.
You should try presenting THIS video ua-cam.com/video/nJmiwzwMJ4s/v-deo.html of Tamu playing a solo fusion piece, which is her actual background in music (much more musically interesting and not all speed metal).... very very cool to watch, tempo changes and style changes....
She was a fusion drummer at first - but pretty versatile as you can see 😉. Multi-instrumentist too (piano was her first instrument and she's still playing it fine), guitar, bass, sax ...

@@danw6048 Yes. Even beat out Yoyoka, twice.
There are so many other Tamu drum covers that show her amazing skills so much better..

React with him watch JUNNA drum cover...

Bet he'd love Akane
C’moooon, this was too easy for her. Give her something hard 😎
While this was fast, it might have been the least complex piece I've ever heard Tamu doing. So a bit of a disservice to her to pick this one for a drummer's reaction, as perfection in complexity is her real craft.
The real Supergirl. Instead of self flying she has flying sticks.
tamu and her crew are so amazing. song at the end wasn´t maximum the hormone, but tamu and ladybeard.ua-cam.com/video/-7zT9c9EfYw/v-deo.html
It would have been nice to show him the demo video of OIRAN, where MURATA demonstrates much more creativity. This song involves very fast drumming, and stamina, but that’s all.
A better "Tamu" focused performance: Just two people, Tamu and Shiena Nishizawa.
