You can support the 10k sub special to Japan here - www.buymeacoffee.com/DrumNerd The goal is to be in touch with Akane for an interview for the channel. Thank you and keep your stick on the ice.
@@chalfo thanks for letting everyone know what a wanker you are. I hope she does see it, I’m not sure how many videos you make praising her ability and endlessly complimenting her. Interesting to see my way of speaking triggers your fragile ego so much. Take care mate.
@@chalfo cheers mate. I’ll do my best and see what can be done, A denial of interview I doubt will be because I can’t pronounce her name correctly. You’re delusional to suggest it would be. I love you internet trolls, you’re fabulous creatures. Be well.
In the timing change section after the first verse, it sounds as thought she put a rest in there to change the beat. She often leaves the last crash etc to resonate on at the end of a song.
But her name ends in eh. A Canadian should get that eh? It's a con eh? I agree with you tho. Getting upset about pronunciation is dumb. Also Canadians should feel right at home with Japanese. Japanese say ne all the time and it's more or less identical to the Canadian eh.
I have been speaking Japanese for 20 years and I still mess up plenty of words. Conversely my wife is Japanese and absolutely butchers some English words. We move on.
When Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin saw them live. He said that the drummer Akane is like an reincarnation of John Bonham... He met Akane backstage and told her how impressed he was of especially her. But also of the whole band... Quote..."How can they be so damn good ???!!!" He said...
Thanks for helping break this down! Domination was my intro to Band-Maid, and one of the big questions I had was what the hell that drummer was doing on her kit. It was so creative and unorthodox for hard rock, but never derailed the song. It was like another line working independently but somehow together with the other instruments and vocals.
Thanks for this Phil! What a great song to get into band maid with; it's so explosive, powerful and musically expressive. So many little Easter eggs in the song (drum part). Happy Saturday and be well.
The "S" is a Custom Trash Crash, according to the Band-Maid, Unseen World Score Book. And we have learned that Akane is in a class all by herself. And sunny and very hot in my neck of the woods of Texas. Running about 97F-99F, around 37 C, then add in the humididity. (Yes I misspelled it on purpose).
Very kind of you to share that sir! I do appreciate the info and must say, it’s a lovely sounding FX cymbal. Ha, sounds like one hell of an inferno where you are. Love the misspelling, respect it if anything 😜 Hope to visit Texas at some point in my life. Be well friend.
Like the music and the way the other Maids play, so many notes syncopated into tightly integrated patterns, riffs and licks that all service the music in a complex yet uncluttered way. Akane (A-Ka-Nay) is a unique and powerful, driving drummer that always surprises. Thx, Colin!
AKANE has three syllables and sounds like, “ah-kah-neh,” delivered aaa triplet. The hard part is saying that without accenting/stressing any one syllable.
Thank you for the detailed reaction from a drummer's perspective. When I first heard this song, the drumming (and guitarwork) blew me away. I'm not a drummer, but my first impression was that it was some incredibly imaginative and complex stuff for a song of this type - the beats and rhythms felt so dymanic and unique. It got me hooked hard on the band, and Akane has become one of my all time fav drummers.
Interesting information and explanations from you regarding the drums for the well known Band Maid song. Thank you for that. Probably not PC to say so but I find watching Akane fascinating. Wether she playing her drums or not. 😍
Let's just face it.... Akane is one of the best drummers in the world today. I love her interpretation of the music... And I am sorry but the best beer in the world is Guinness on tap. 😁😁
She really is one of the best, a true gem of talent. Hahaha, Guiness is a delicious stout, a respectable choice! Maybe later in the channel life we can all do a beer tasting of everyone’s favourites 😀. Be well.
Considering he's pausing the shit out of this and analyzing the drum part, i think this version is the perfect version for him.He can see and hear everything.
The rapid guitar strumming is evocative of SKIFFLE, the type of music the boys were playing before Rock and Roll. The most propulsive element of the song is RINGO’s drumming. But I think the tension and release created by the rising and falling melodic contours of the vocal are what got the young girls excited.
Again, we hear a LITTLE RICHARD “whooo,” this time at the very end. Please listen to the amazing LITTLE RICHARD sing READY TEDDY (1956), and you will have a whole new perspective on this Rock and Roll thing - ua-cam.com/video/Pgme3sfbp28/v-deo.html
Love your breakdowns and don't mind the stopping at all. Akane's name...instead of 2 syllables, ah-cane, in a 1/8 note rhythm. ah-cane, ah-cane, ah-cane, ah-cane. Take her name and each character of her name in Japanese Hiragana, Akane-->あかね-->Ah-Kah-Nay, as a note/syllable and use a triplet rhythm. Ah-Kah-Nay, Ah-Kah-Nay, Ah-Kah-Nay, Ah-Kah-Nay. Maybe this is useful? 😀 WORLD DOMINATION!!! PO!!!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Thank you for this, can’t say I’ve ever heard of it to be phonetically spoken in triplets - that makes things a hell of a lot easier - you sir are onto something! I do appreciate the help and this break down in “drum terms” has helped. Be well.
I absolutely will explain them in next Saturdays video. Glad you’re enjoying things. In a nutshell though, ghost notes (grace notes) are more felt than heard. Be well.
Akane. (Are-Car-Neigh) is one of my favourite drummers. The way the drums are arranged in BandMaid seem a lot more like she’s “playing a part in the song” rather than just being the rhythm section. Very interesting to listen to in every track.
The whole point of this channel is to pause so you can break down shit. Not sure if you can afford them (they're pretty expensive), but Akane just came out with signature sticks.
Mr drum nerd you pause all you want when it comes to analyzing my favorite drummer and bandmaid my favorite band that I love so much!❤💯👍🤘🤘Hoping you get to afterlife in this same setting!😉😃
Thank you kindly Neil, I do appreciate the support and politeness. She is fairly becoming one of my top drummers, in terms of enjoyment to watch/listen and ability. I’ll try and find afterlife in the same setting, that would be unreal! Be well and happy Saturday.
Fine reaction, Colin ! Original title was, of course , Dominator...A tribute to Dominik Hasek...They changed it when they realized no one in Japan knew who he was ! How could I make this stuff up, hmm ? 😉
Hahaha, you had me there for a second - gotta say he was and and still is my favourite goalie ever! I can’t say there were many better for the wings, at least in the past few decades. Love hearing from you mate, always puts a smile on my face. Hope you’re well!
@@DRUMNERD I may not be a drummer, but comedy and drumming need perfect timing...and a willingness to beat the crap out of something with a pointy stick !
@@frankandre4385 That's a great correlation actually. They both absolutely require beating ''things'' with pointy, unadulterated sticks. Much like hockey :P
Couple of places where none of the instruments are on the beat and Saiki's vocals hold down the rhythm, which I never noticed until the vocal-less version.
If you can remember that you're saying her name wrong, it shouldn't be too difficult to remember how to say it right. Ah-kah-nay. Three syllables. No excuses from now on. Get it right!! 😛
I’ve heard many different ways to say it, the way I say it being one of them. If she wants to personally correct things, fine. However, it strikes me sad that a name pronounced one way is the cause of such fervent anger over the internet - I’m just being me hopefully helping people out in the drum department. Let’s maybe all just relax a bit eh. Be well.
@@billb.5183 hahaha, sorry mate - some people are giving serious hate to me so I’m not sure what’s going on just now. I didn’t mean to go at you at all, just so shocked at some of the comments. I do apologise for getting it wrong. Hope you’re well.
It's three syllables, not two. Being dismissive of a correction as far as accuracy, especially concerning someone's name, is not something I would be proud of. I am fairly certain you would want to correct someone who pronounced it "Drooem Neered", and shrugged it off as if that was your problem for moaning about it, and not them, lol.
I can honestly say with my hand on heart; I wouldn't mind at all if someone pronounced my name incorrectly. In fact, I get it more often than I thought with such a simple name; Colin. There is some serious disconnect in my opinion with people being so precious about a name pronunciation. It seems everyone has some clouded outlook and if anyone says anything ''even positive'' that's ignored as it somehow might mean something different. If I had a channel about how to say things correctly, I would understand it - but I'm just a simple guy with a drum degree. Be well.

Man, I really enjoy the breakdowns of what she is doing. "Honkai" is the song you want but they're all great.
Yeah, she preferred the sound of the inexpensive S Trash crash over the different K efx crashes.
Live at Shibuya I hope? Or both would be great.
