Senri Kawaguchi's Favorite Drum Licks (Subtitled -ドラムレッスン)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- Senri Kawaguchi is not only one of Japan's premier drummers, but she's received global acclaim for her technique and prowess starting from a very young age. In this clip taken from Senri's Drumeo course, she breaks down four of her favorite licks. One cool thing to note is how she tends to give each pattern a name based on how it sounds or feels - a great trick for memorizing and writing drum parts in general.
Give them a try!
Introduction - 0:00
1. Shikashi-Nagara - 01:33
To make 16th note triplets easier to remember, use a word or phrase with six syllables (Senri uses shikashi-nagara). This pattern is six on the snare, two on the kick, two on the toms, and two on the kick for a total of 12 notes in the phrase.
2. Accented Sextuplets - 04:31
A 9-note pattern that consists of single and double strokes, accent every single stroke. You can make it sound bigger and more impressive just by changing where you place that accented note, whether it's on a cymbal or a tom.
3. Bah-Keh-Ratta - 06:44
Senri compares this lick to the sound of a horse running, which the pattern on the double kicks emulate. It sounds more complex than it is. This is a simple alternating right-left four-note phrase on the feet under a simple two and four with the hands.
4. Bira-Atsume - 09:46
If you're familiar with Senri's drum solos, you might recognize it. Her name for this lick was inspired by people collecting flyers (imagine pulling them toward you from multiple directions - it's a hand motion that looks almost like you're swimming). Think symmetrical: set up a symmetrical kit and have your right hand and right foot mirror what your left hand and left foot are doing. Like most of the other licks, it sounds more complex than it is. You can also 'collect flyers' from the right or left side instead of from the middle - it looks awesome!

She's outstanding. I especially love it when she's destroying the kit, and then delivers a perfectly polite "hai"
its actually hai which means yes
@@DavidKrautscheid yeah, just realised autocorrect let me down. I'll edit it now.
K D Great! Thanks
Yea I'm living in japan rn. Japanese use this phrase alot. If u ever come just learn hai, daijoubudesuka (sore wa diajoubudesu), gomenasai, sayonara and sumimasen and you'll be set🤙 kenpai🍻
@@jacobchris356 ..... kampai !!!🍺
*THUNDEROUS DRUM FILL INTRO*
*Innocent Japanese voice* “Kon'nichiwa!”
Senri is awesome.
She's amazing! Cheers Josh 🥁
Chun-Li 's spare time
She could drum circles around the whole Drumeo staff ,HAHA.
Same with the tiny tiny crash at 14:16. Ultra aggressive collection of flyers solo...'ting'.
I think about this comment a lot and then find myself laughing when I come to find this video. It's so accurate and she's so sweet, but will totally murderlise you on drums.
I love how she is so polite until she starts playing and pulls out some RUDE licks.
That’s Japanese culture
Senri is the real deal. She just totally destroys the stereotype of a badass drummer with a lot of tattoos, piercings and other silly macho bullshit. She looks like an innocent little schoolgirl, but plays better and heavier than all the established names in rock music. It's just unbelievable... She's truly a force of nature.
Asians don't care for tattoos and piercings
@@behindthen0thing525 Tatoo is common in Asia too
@@GOGO-fx9ip nope
@@behindthen0thing525Asia's a big place. It's certainly not as common in Japan as it is in North America these days.
It's actually pretty nuts how common tattoos are where I live now. It honestly seems like it's almost the norm for young people. I was so close to getting several as a teen, but as it became so popular it turned me off.
Now I tend to think it's pretty pagan and not good. Our bodies are not our own to do whatever we please with. We belong to our Creator
@@GOGO-fx9ip😂 no its fround uppon in japan because of its meaning behind it
I have met and talked to her before.
Not only does she have great playing techniques as a drummer, she also has a great personality.
She is very humble, polite and has a great sense of humor.
If you can understand Japanese, her Twitter will be a lot of fun.
Another reason for us all to learn the Japanese language! arigato!
Her confidence, enthusiasm and accuracy make her a tremendous player...
Absolutely! ⚡️
Truth!
Her timing is off
@@westerling8436 where?
@@westerling8436 Everyone go and look at "Brad Shitt"'s channel, he's some old guy with a guitar and his last video is 'new hit for election Trump'. Hahahaahahaha
“Let your sticks go through the cymbals, like water”
YES SENSEI!!!
@@markdemell3717 You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you?
@@markdemell3717 what are you talking about ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@FanaticDrummer Yes I am ,thank you so much for noticing ,I love you too.
I felt that 😝😝
"Tee hee hee" 🤗
Senri this definitely not the first time you've given this old drummer a lesson. You've been amazing me for more than 10 years now. Thank you! You are an amazing drummer.
Senri is the perfect blend of old skool and new innovative techniques. She employs them all creatively and flawlessly.
She could easily play for any Rock band in the world (for money and fame), but chooses to embrace the most challenging musical endeavors.
She's not just one of the best "girl" drummers ever, she's one of the best drummers overall.
When you've shared the stage with masters like Lee Ritenour, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl and Akira Jimbo (and they all respect your chops) you're undoubtably a "world class" musician.
Thanks for sharing, Drumeo... awesome stuff!
Cheers Frank!
I see Senri’s name, I click. Never disappointed. Definitely one of my favourite drummers!!
Kudos to whoever teched these drums. Those toms sound like honey.
We have some magicians in our tech team. Thanks Michael!
I came here to say the same. Beautiful sounding set!
@@DrumeoOfficial Nothing to do with sorcery!
They always have great sound, but that kick sounds distorted in some places, and not the good kind of distortion.
I definitely noticed some peaking, but, over than that, they sounded great
Kinda awestruck. Not only by the phenomenal playing, but how the first time I saw a clip of her, I described like this... "Its as if she were a cup, and the music water. And it simply pours out of her. Effortlessly, naturally." When she made a similar simile near the end of the video I got chills. Rock on girl, just seeing the joy it puts on your face as you play was awesome to witness, then the fact that you have a killer style on top of the love of playing, you're one of my top favorites now, instantly. Keep it up! Everybody needs to discover joy like this in something.
Not only an excellent drummer, but a great persona in front of the camera and great explainer!
The end where she explains that thunderous roll is why I love the drums soooooooo much. She is absolutely amazing!
Some of the simplest breakdowns on rifs I've ever seen... she explains it so well, as well as the slow down really helps the processing. 👍❤
I know there’s probably some added effort required because of the language barrier, but I just want to say “Thank You” to Drumeo for providing content from Senri. I’ve been following her for about 5 years and she’s the reason I’ve discovered other amazing Asian musicians and bands. In my opinion, when it comes to female musicians, the Japanese ladies seem to dominate. While Senri is my favorite Jazz/Fusion/Soloist drummer, when it comes to the Rock/Hard Rock/Metal genre, Akane Hirose of Band-Maid (also from Japan) is definitely my favorite and currently ranked #1 on Rankers Greatest Female Drummers List (Hint, hint, some content from Akane would be great). As for my favorite Cover/UA-cam drummer, check out Tarn Softwhip from Thailand. She does amazing covers by Avenged Sevenfold and many others. Check out “Bat Country”.
Thanks Russell! 🙏
OMG yes dude +1 on Tarn Softwhip, she is BONKERS
Akane is seriously insane and such a joy to watch on the kit. She's so creative, makes everything look effortless, and just looks like she's having the time of her life. Love her.
Sometimes I stand there and don't see the forest for the trees anymore! I'm grateful for such inspiring videos so that I can concentrate on something new again!
You're very welcome Raimund - enjoy! 🥁
Careful there Raimund, it sounds like you are actually thinking! I've found occasionally when undertaking that exercise that it can be fraught with danger. :-) Excellent point, BTW, made me think...and as I said...
She's so cute, and, yet, she's a total beast on the kit. Love it! Her little giggles after playing a messhugah beat just made my day!
I love Senri's playing. It always makes me happy watching her videos.
This is the kind of drumming I love. People who have chops, but also have the ability to hold a grove.
I was just rewatching her K-ON drum covers that she did 10 years ago. She was already amazing back then and she's gotten even better since!
She looks like ritsu in her K-ON covers
Her smile is contagious. I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this lol
I really like her, her kind and courteous demeanor belies the BEAST that lies beneath! She is cracking those drums, really getting a nice clap out of them. Very powerful player... 👏
"It's probably the first time for many of you to hear my name or see me" Definitely not, but the humbleness is noticed.
Yeah wonder why Americans are only humble like 5% or fake humble :/
@@hmuphilly9129 I think it's reasonnable for Senri to think she's not THAT famous. First of all, she's playing jazz, and with people who may not have the same social media following as others. And most of her communication is in Japanese, so she's more realistic than humble. Maybe she's underestimating the number of people who've heard of her, because her Zildjian vault video has 500K views, but the number of views on her own channel are way below that, so it's indeed reasonable for her to introduce herself assuming that many people will see her for the first time.
@@danielhadida3915 the real question is would she play pocket 2/4 or steal the show lol
@@danielhadida3915 Anyone I know who is interested in Japanese anime knows her because that's where she started: playing covers of popular anime openings like K-On that gave her millions of views. Of course, there was some development after that...
She still very very rarely makes it to people's greatest drummer lists even though she's definitely up there. Japanese fusion jazz is just a bit obscure as a genre for westerners so not many people have heard her playing apart from the people who purposely seek drumming videos on UA-cam.
Drumeo, This is AWESOME! I'm a Guitar player and I find myself on this page very often. It's great to see the diversity and I can't wait to see more of it!
Senri's passion, competence and humility is inspiring. lots of love
been watching her for years and she always puts a huge smile on my face! her personality and playing are wonderful!
Cool drummer, very enthusiastic, light spirit but make no mistake, serious chops, tremendous player
My favorite female drummer!! Saw her on a concert some years ago and I was absolutely stunned by her performance! ❤️
Awesome! 🥁
Try to watch all her videos!
she's so cute and polite until she starts playing,then she flat out turns into a beast of another kind!awesome,awesome chops my dear!drumeo,you hit a homerun with this girl!keep up the great work doll!
This is great! I love that Drumeo is featuring international drummers! It's super inclusive and definitely progressive. This has been my favourite drum channel for the longest time and its videos like this that keep me coming back for more
This girl is the best female drummer I know
She's incredible!
Check out Kanade Sato too!
Ok. You dont know Sheila E. Not a girl anymore though
I’ve never herd of her but she seems pretty good 👍🏻
There really is no contest, she's incredible.
She effortlessly projects a Big percussion sound with speed and agility. Marvelous!
Thank you Senri! With so many losses in the musical world this year, and all of the sad events going on in the world this year in general, I appreciate you sharing your talent and hard work with the world and giving us a reason to smile! Stay healthy!
You are such a super drummer i watch your videos every day you are born with a special gift from God. My brother is a drummer in Osaka for the last 40 years i always tell him that you are such a great drummer God's blessings always be with you 🙏
one of my favorite young drummers, so much power and touch, and so humble at the same time.
That double-bass pattern is the beginning of "Hot For Teacher". It sounds EXACTLY like it. When she was playing it really slow, it reminded me of when I was trying to learn how to play it by playing the LP and spinning the record by hand so I could hear all the notes. She's nailing it! Man, I have to practice more!
I've been following Senri for at least 10 years.
I had the privilege of meeting her and seeing her perform in a Yamaha drum clinic in Canada in 2022.
She is an incredible musician and a very humble and kind person.
I hope that her star continues to rise. She is on the path to being one of the world's great drummers.
love Senri's playing. Excellent command of the kit.
I don't play drums but watching vids like this occasionally allow me to appreciate what I see and hear when watching a good jazz session (or whatever) to a bit higher level. Very cool, thx. Your energy and accuracy when you play just blow me away.
Thanks a lot Senri! LOVELY to hear Japanese again. In the eighties I resided in Osaka for 5 months and gave some drum lessons in a high school, lots of talent there in Japan🤗
I'm glad Drumeo found her..I have listened to her for a long while now =)
i know her since her k-on drum covers^^
Senri is fantastic, and the Drumeo sessions really did her proud! She seems like a great person too, and has a lot of passion about her craft - would love to see her live, and hope that she comes to the U. S. when musicians are able to tour again.
"This is easy to do. Right-left-right-left-right-left"
Nope.
I love the polite demonstration of the concept. Then......BOOM! ❤️🔥 She is awesome.
Senri being as sublime as always !! with a kit that sounds phenomenal !!
Never tough I would listen to a japanese drum lesson. Really liked it. Love to see her going in a more metal drum style.
I love when she does the Toms swipe, that Tom’s sounds amazing 🤩
Senri sensei is an amazing drummer, very inspirational to watch.
Learning drums and Japanese at the same time. Shikashi-Nagara Shikashi-Nagara Shikashi-Nagara !
Two for one!
Playing drums since she was five. She's 23 in this video, so that's 18 years of playing. Senri's first DVD came out in 2009, when she was twelve and she start gigging soon after. Her first solo CD was released on her 16th birthday. She's young, yes - and look even younger than her years - but her understanding of the kit is at a whole different level.
These are her four favorite licks, folks. That means she probably plays them without much conscious effort. Her ability is almost frightening.
Hello, as far as I know, the recordings with Senri on Drumeo were made 2 years ago - so she was 21 years old!
one of the most educational videos ive ever seen thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing! I will really practice these because I wanted to play like you when I first saw your drum solo. It was amazing!!!
Wow! Incredibly talented, I'm speechless. I'm learning on an electric drum kit now and I watch Jared's Drumeo vids constantly, he's da bomb!
I love how I found her in high school, she inspired me to get better, then I enlisted in the army and lost all my chops, and here I am again in quarantine drumming again because of her.
師匠喋ってる時めっちゃかわいい😆
分かりやすい解説ありがとうございます！
8:24 "Bah-Keh-Ratta" by Meshuggah.
Hakke took 6 months to learn that
only Dirk and Minneman can probably play it that easily
Love Senri's playing so much! Her and Tetsuo Sakurai work so well as a rhythm section.
The dichotomy of her demeanor on and off the drums is amazing. So pleasant then such a beast.
Just after the notification. Always there for drumeo.
Thanks Viraaj!
@@DrumeoOfficial 😁😁😁😁
Incredible skills. It has been a joy to see her grow up, and develop superhuman ability.
Amazing Video! Very talented! Thoroughly enjoyed watching!
From making K-On covers to the first 10 seconds of this video. Damn this girl aged well
This is the wonderful thing about music, it transcends any language and is universal. We can speak a different language but music is always the same.
On another note this young lady has got some licks!!!
Tbh I don't come to this channel to learn, I just come to enjoy the level some people are at!
She’s awesome.
LOve her communicative joy of playing !!!
First time heard her voice in this video!! Nice tutorial Senri!!!👌👌❤️🥁🥁
Great licks! Thank you very much. This gave me a lot of ideas. And what a powerful drummer!
Very clean and tight drumming with such finesse.Niiiiiiice!
This is such a awesome channel...one armed drum master, Japanese woman maestro, etc.... Truly inspiring!
I first heard of her earlier this year and was awestruck. What a wonderfully talented and confident young drummer! It will be the World's loss if she does not become famous worldwide.
"It will be the World's loss if she does not become famous worldwide."
And it is so cool that the net allows superb talents like hers to be enjoyed by all, rather than filtered by a few greedy idiots who know absolutely nothing about music (or most anything else).
When you look at the incredible number of absolute best seller books and authors that were turned down time and time again before they were accepted (most of them), and how many were accepted that were utter garbage, it becomes pretty obvious that that 'filter' itself is utter and total crap, like much of society, frankly.
I suspect some of the most extreme talent in the world has been suppressed by idiots. Actually I can pretty much can guarantee that true with the data I've seen. Parasitic ankle biters are a group that are beyond useless, and usually the ones that take most of the profit, all the while harming the outcomes. Not always, but often.
Great... always inspiring to see Senri.
I love Senri. Such an incredible player
She's amazing wow i really enjoyed watching her. 😁
When I saw her playing some years ago I was deeply impressed. Now I think this is her sense of humor to think that someone like me could proceed this ;-)
Great to see her enthusiasm and fun by this.
I love how she crescendos the 6 notes on the snare in the first lick.
Snare sounds amazing! Great drummer too!
Best female drummer of all times! And one of the best drummers in general nowadays!
What a beast ! Absolutely crazy chops
She is the perfect example of why you can’t judge a musician before you see them play.
She is outstanding!
Her level of charisma is as high as her level of drum playing.
I’ve always watched YT vids of Kawaguchi-Chan and Sato Kawade, both are awesome. But her laugh after that last drum lick was just ... adorable. Otsukare, Senri san!!!
she's such an amazing drummer
the legend is backk 🔥
i dont even want to imagine what she considers hard if these are easy
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer I think they are simple, but not necessarily easy. It ain't the same thing.
Beating Usain Bolt in a 100 m or 200 m race is quite simple, you only have to run faster than him... but is it easy...? Mmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔 I don't think so...
Obviously, it's quite subjective. If you're used to play at high speeds, you may find it easy, but if you don't...
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer neither specially happy, nor specially sad, quite indifferent, to be honest. And you, are you happy pointing out that you find it easy when Greg consider it hard?
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer yes, the ones showed here are quite simple, but.... so what? Does it makes them less valid or less effective in their context?
Maybe I'm wrong but I seemed to spot a derogatory intention in your first comment, like "bah, that's so easy, I can do better", you know what I mean. If I missunderstood you I apologize.
But if I don't, I just don't understand why the fact of being simple or easy must be taken as a negative thing. The important thing for me is if it sounds good, and in my opinion, what she does here (and every time I saw her) sounds really good.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer simple doesn’t equal easy
@@isihernandez9752 I agree with your comments, Isi, throughout this thread.
I am eagering for this! Like all the licks!!!
I love how she puts her cymbals where she has to be at full extension to play.
The way she like holds her body seems like she started playing yesterday but she is also so insanely good so it’s hilarious
Very impressive drumming, wow.
What a wonderful drummer🥁🎶⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was completely awesome. Thank you. I'm going to go collect some flyers now.
Tekazuhime, you are SO positive and brilliant!
"Hai! I'm gonna launch this drum kit into the atmosphere, it's real easy, just follow along"
That intro killed me. Love content like this.
She is mixing 3/4, 4/4, single strokes, double strokes and Dble bass pedals to create an extremely strong vocabulary of phrases. I would love to see her work with Steve Smith.
"it sounds fancy and EASY" ARE YOU KIDDING ME lmao i love herrrrr
Fantastic, I have learned again
I'm stealing that last one... That's a dope motion!
OMG, i love Senri. she's so good
AMAZING MIRACLE
It’s weird and awesome how I can learn from someone who has an entirely different language. But then we both play the drums so in a way we can communicate.
I think the subtitles allowed you to communicate
That's the beauty 'bout music, it's a Universal language ...
