She’s beyond excellent with her technique but she is also stratosphere level creative
Always good reactions. Just a note on Senri's count. If you look closely when she holds up her stick she's showing us it broke. Didn't drop it. She handled that cool as a cucumber and literally didn't miss a beat.
The stick that went flying over the front of the kit was broke? She held up a stick after that? Either way she killed it but I think the first stick did fly out of her hand toward the front of the kit. Which is good means she has the loose grip going on which is important.
The stick splintered and she showed what was left of it
She was trained by Kozo Sugunama since she was 8 years old, it kinda explains why her hand techniques are so well developed
Kozo was a master, teased every once of craft from Senri. So sad we've lost him
one of my favorite young drummers. I love that she's not just copying Rush's Tom Sawyer but creating her own thing. Nothing wrong with copying your favorite
drummers but eventually you need to start doing your own thing and creating your own stuff. That's where the rubber meets the road. Same with Anika Nilles,
another fine young drummer doing her own thing
Senri is THE BEST Female drummer in the World! PERIOD!
Why just "female drummer"? How about just "drummer"? PERIOD!
I've watched now, a collection of Drummers/Drum Teachers, analyze Senri, And everyone of them is truly impressed. This particular Teacher has seen it all, and he is also very impressed. Senri is indeed a revelation. She plays all genres to a virtuoso level. She is all over youtube proving it.
She has a lot more videos with more complex drumming playing jazz or with Guthrie Govan. This is like the appetizer before the full meal 😅😅😅
You are correct, sir!
Oh yea!
Oh yea!
You can't help feel happy watching her. There are videos when she was younger.
It's nice to hear from an expert, technical reasons for appreciating Ms. Kawaguchi's
performance. Heretofore I appreciated the latter in an ignorant way. What Mr. Williams doesn't mention is Ms. Kawaguchi's superlative overall charm.
The thing is with her age being so good , maximum good , with this Drumset Artistry who lays it out so good , what we need more !!!!
I saw Senri a year ago on a Drumeo solo feature and she blew me away. What I loved about her performance was how much fun she seemed to have while playing. Great joy displayed. Thanks for this one Garey
Senri is amazing.
She 22 here and been at it since age 2 . By the time she was 16, she was approaching this level
You are probably confusing her with Yoyoka who started at age 2. Senri started at Age 5 ("She started playing drums at the age of 5." www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Senri_Kawaguchi.html)
senri is awesome. she is also the bandleader of tokyo based "the jazz avengers", an all female jazz project. they have a lot of fantastic female drummers over there in japan. tamu murata is another one of them. and they have wonderkids like yoyoka and junna. they must have something in the water over there. thank you for your professionell reaction/analysis.
I really like her playing! She loves what she's doing...that's so much fun to watch.
Groove, musicality, and creativity 👏👏👏very clever and loved the use of silence 👍🏻🥂
I wonder if she is related to George Kawaguchi, the great big band leader ( it might have been the Sharps and Flats Big Band ). He used a double bass drum setup like Louie Bellson, great playing by her.
I'm so glad you finally did a review of Senri. I was certainly one of the people pushing her lol. There are lots of videos of her as far back as 8 yrs old and even before that.
I saw someone else mentioned Kanade Sato. She is another one to check out.
Still hoping you will take a look at Simon Philips playing with Hiromi Uehara as the Trio Project. In particular his solo on the song "Move."
Senri also has older drum videos on youtube from when she was 9, or possibly even younger. She also had a period where she drummed over the tunes of Japanese kid's shows, I think. Worth checking out; very fun and creative.
Yes! I stumbled upon a video of her at 7 or 8, playing the drum part of the psycho-fast bgm soundtrack to a japanese side scrolling video game that had obviously been composed and played on a sythesizer - it wasn't overly complex, but the tempo(?) was sooo fast! The idea that anyone would even attempt to play along with it seemed completely ridiculous, but there she was, this cute little girl still in gradeschool, not just playing along with it, but nailing it note for note without ever missing a beat! Amazing!!! I can't find the video anymore and assume it was deleted at some point, but I've been a huge fan ever since, and it has been a pleasure to follow along as she has grown into an adult and as a musician to become one of the best drummers of all time. Have a great day. Peace!
What we saw here is a drop of what she's capable of
Just to make things clear about you saying (8.49) Senri dropped the stick. What happen there was the drum stick actually broke and she was showing the camera what just happen (7.17). Nothing bad on your part but just so others who didn't catch it realize what happen. Keep up your good work!!
Wow! Ms. Senri Kawaguchi is out of this world! Blessings to her and all of you! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💐
DAMN.
2 words *THE BEST*
She is smooth. I would be interested in a Cindy Blackman Santana video. She seems to be overlooked a bit.
She is developing nice left handed rolls that were a Buddy Rich specialty.
So much wisdom in this video
There is another Japanese drummer you might want to take a look at who has a connection to Senri. Bear in mind that this is not mentioned to take anything away from Senri. She is undoubtedly the the most skilled female drummer in the world. She can lay down complex grooves which many men cannot do. Very powerful drummer. She went through the metal phase with her drumming about six years ago, then migrated to fusion and jazz. This is a good drum solo here, but there is another one, which I cannot find right now, otherwise I would post it of her doing a drum solo over thirty minutes long.
But I would like you to have a look at this other Japanese drummer who has taken the drumming and music world by storm. Another incredible musician, but this one is a little more unique in the sense that she never had a drum lesson until about six months ago or so. She has been playing as a professional for about four years. She already has three albums under her belt and is currently working on her fourth. She also writes music for commercials and theme songs. Here name is Yoyoka Soma.
This is a video which was posted on the internet a little over two years ago and it went viral.
ua-cam.com/video/91pz1E8pAOY/v-deo.html
This next video put her on the map.
ua-cam.com/video/d8iYNZeMMZ0/v-deo.html
This is what most people know her for flawless covers. She has played in a band and basically toured Japan for the last four years. She is also a studio and session musician.
ua-cam.com/video/eYEk0uNeUVo/v-deo.html
When she was eight she first appeared on the Ellen show.
ua-cam.com/video/agW6LpJhh60/v-deo.html
then again
ua-cam.com/video/kKQuG0qXinQ/v-deo.html
That is what the public is paying attention to. Her professional professional work get maybe only a tenth of the views of her covers, but have been watched by millions of people with her performing on live TV.
Here she is on stage doing a solo performance then goes into playing a swing song, Swing, Swing, Swing on the back of her performance. She is eight years old.
ua-cam.com/video/fEDijfTTTPo/v-deo.html
This is her playing at a rock concert with some of the top rock musicians in Japan.
ua-cam.com/video/rDva1QW3VCA/v-deo.html
On stage with Cyndi Lauper go to 2:00
ua-cam.com/video/T5hPkB6D-qU/v-deo.html
Then again at TGC 2019
ua-cam.com/video/mq6x_OJQDxk/v-deo.html
If you watch her drum lesson 29, you will see what kind of drummer she is. The video is in Japanese, with English subs. Firefox does not pick up the subs.
Again, this in not to take anything from Senri as she is a very talented drummer. Just didn't know how to send you an email. Yoyoka has covered several of Senri's songs. Senri has paved the way regarding where Yoyoka is going.
Just wanted to get your take on Yoyoka. There is so much more to this little girl. She just stole the 2020 NAMM show. But with all the commercials and performances she is doing, this last video will let you know that she is still a little girl. It also shows that there is going to be a conflict with her drumming in the future due to her ability to sing. She may end up being a Don Henley or a Dave Ghrol. Circling back to the connection between the two of them, it would not surprise me to see them, together at come point in the future with Senri and Yoyoka teaming up with Senri playing drums, Yoyoka singing, Juna Serita playing bass and so on.
ua-cam.com/video/v_iMrpZ3Vzg/v-deo.html
@MorbidManMusic Formal Beach Wear. No, she is not the best drummer. She is a professional musician. This is the point, she has been performing and playing as a professional musician and entertainer for five years. The best drummer in the female world would probably have to go to Senri Kawaguchi. This is all about being the best that you can be, and Yoyoka is showing the world that she is doing just that. But Yoyoka is not just about drumming, this was the point of my post. You cannot look at her as a little girl who just sits in a room and plays covers. Just do an internet search on her name and you will see that her name is popping up everywhere, all over the world. She just stole the NAMM show in Anaheim. Ultimately, I do not see her being a drummer. Especially since she has so many talents. Very few drummers make fortune and fame sitting on a drum throne. Just like with Senri, Yoyoka is now playing drums on the world stage. If you go to any of her social media sites, you will see that see is now associating with some of the biggest names in the music and entertainment industry. Forget her youtube channel, she is not posting what she does as a professional on youtube. Her upcoming appearances, tours, who she is playing with, where she has performed is all lised on other sites, some of them are in Japanese. This is where you will find the real Yoyoka, kaneai.jimdofree.com
Again, she is a professional musician, who happens to be a ten year old girl.
tibetbill I agree. There can’t really be a best. I think Yoyoka, Senri and Kanade are all same category. The wholly crap they freaking amazing category. But as to best, I think Dennis Chambers plays the most difficult stuff. But it’s music. It’s all just opinion.
@@frankiek2269 Just so you know, there is another Japanese drummer on the horizon named Junna. She is kind of like a younger version of Senri when she was into metal or she kind of makes you think like she is a female version of Scott Travis, but with Yoyoka's moves on the drum throne thrown in. Probably the best drummer of modern times, according to Jeff Procaro is, or was Frank Gordon, but he flipped outcand went insane.
tibetbill Thanks for the recommendation. Never heard of her before, but I will definitely look up her vids.
Senri blows those other girls away. But I love Junna’s energy, Yoyoka’s joy, Kanade’s in Senri’s footsteps, and there are others. Murata Tamu is a grown up Yoyoka. They are all impressive. But Senri could copy them all, and none of them can do Senri. Maybe close, maybe soon, but not the effortlessness
Stick broke, keep chill LMAO🤣🤣 Senri play is always awesome sight to see👍👍👍
Senri I love you so much.
Her and Kanade are unreal!
She didn't drop her stick. She broke it.
Senri's Dad let Her try an electric set He had when She 5 years old.The rest is history - - ->>> I think at this filming She is 16 !!!!!!
And there goes to theory of 10,000 hours of practice to master the craft. She's remarkable. Just not fair.
LOL - I think it still applies, it's just that Senri probably did the 1st 9,800 before the age of 11! 😉
agreed! those kids put in the hours. it's not always the parents forcing practice. many of these kids have such a joy and drive to do what they love that they will practice far more than the average kid. that's why they develop so quickly. of course, there is something to be said for having a natural ability but that plus the drive is what makes child prodigies.
How can you not react to Kanade Sato if you react to Senri, Kanade not only commands rhythms and syncopation like Senri but she creates, that puts Kanade onto a whole different level from most drummers today. Both are great drummers, but Kanade is an artist!
ua-cam.com/video/xPhXSeANIDg/v-deo.html
Oh Yessss💯
For the record, she broke the stick rather than dropped it
This is a newer clip, she is 21 now, been playing this good since age 16, started at 2
Oh yeah well I been playing guitar since 9 and been shit since 9 and I’m 19 now so I know I make others feel better with how much better than they are than me ;~;
well, since 5 years old, but still . . .
She's also playing in an organ duet as far as i know...
You are probably confusing her with Yoyoka who started at age 2. Senri started at Age 5 ("She started playing drums at the age of 5." www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Senri_Kawaguchi.html)
She was born Jan 1997, so she was 23 ("now") at the time of this reply and reaction. ("Senri Kawaguchi is a drummer, born on January 8,1997" zildjian.com/senri-kawaguchi.html)
Check out Kanade Sato, 15 year old that plays like Dave Weckel, she even does Brecker Bros. covers.
Kanade was 15 when she did that Dave Weckel you're thinking about. She is now 17. :)
Fantastic solo!! reminded me of Shiela E
She broke her stick I have followed her for years
Nice channel thanks Garey😊
Make a reaction of Bruno Valverde, one of the best drummers in Brazil, he is the drummer of the Brazillian band Angra. You will surely be surprised.
Dear Garey, Please react to Robert 'Sput' Searight - Actual Proof (21 Drums 2019). Open handed player with a lot of groove
If you wish to see the Mozart of drummers, check out Yoyoka Soma. She is a 10-year-old drummer. She plays in a professional rock band with her parents, who are also musicians. She started drumming at the age of two, joined her parent's band at the age of five, has played in rock concerts with Fall Out Boy and Cyndi Lauper, been praised by the likes of Dave Grohl, Jimmy Page and Gene Simmons, appeared twice on the Ellen de Generis show - amongst other things. Other than her otherworldly talent and groove, she is just a joy to watch, because music and drumming is the love of her life.
Wondered if you would react to her rendition of the Jeff Porcaro shuffle in Toto's Rosanna - ua-cam.com/video/6P-tTLmuKo0/v-deo.html
Afterwards, check out some of her other videos:
1) her playing live at her seventh birthday - ua-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/v-deo.html
2) channeling Gene Krupa at a 14,000 seat arena corporate gig - ua-cam.com/video/fEDijfTTTPo/v-deo.html (she was 8 years old at the time)
3) playing with some of Japan's top rockers at an outdoor rock festival (also when she was 8) - ua-cam.com/video/rDva1QW3VCA/v-deo.html
And lastly, here she is chilling at home - ua-cam.com/video/LQGjRWwamAA/v-deo.html
Of course Yoyoka is great but she's a basher compared to these girls. Yoyoka doesn't have the physical speed yet but no doubt if she chooses she could go that route into more sophisticated music than rock; so far that's not her thing but we'll see. 🎶 🥁
She's talented. But. Kawaguchi is on a different level - Kawaguchi is a genius.
You should also check out Kanade Sato, she's even younger but already insanely good. Here's her at 11:
ua-cam.com/video/XYpFL08m5fQ/v-deo.html
And here's her in a drum battle with Senri Kawaguchi:
ua-cam.com/video/4sf3DgS3LEA/v-deo.html
Yoyoka is fantastic as well. Here's her covering Good Times Bad Times by Led Zeppelin at 8 years old:
ua-cam.com/video/91pz1E8pAOY/v-deo.html
Look a little closer.
She didn't drop a stick... she broke it.
You can see the top one-third of the stick fly off in front of the drums at 7:15 ... and she showed the remaining part in her hand.
Not too shabby on the power, especially considering that she only weighs around 100 lbs.
She knows people like when she lose a stick and she do it pretty frequently. Part of the show :) Pls have a look when she did play bepop cowboy with orchestra
She is fantastic!!!!
7:16 omg look how fast she took her hand took the new stick like im so mindblowned🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thank you I asked you about this yesterday
Notice the recording dates:
ua-cam.com/video/jDngvBMT2Zc/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/-CdOxI6Typc/v-deo.html
She knocked it out the ball park!!!!
Bro
after your reaction is drummer Sendi Kawaguchi from Japan, I want to recommend you one of the best drummers in Indonesia... he's named Ray Prasetya...with the title "Ray Prasetya & SABIAN Cymbal Headline" Awesome...I hope you like it.
Still my favorite video of hers: ua-cam.com/video/BA3lvWaC7PY/v-deo.html
The first thing I ever heard was her opening a Yucco Miller piece and thought when i shut my eyes that it was Billy Cobham
Michael Brickley Lover come back to me, right ? Me too i cannot stop to hear it
Check out her song Blowin Luv. I've never seen anything like it - amazing. Pure. Accurate. Complex. Sustained effort. Incredible. Believe me - you've never seen or heard anything like this: ua-cam.com/video/_NA_4cEWiSk/v-deo.html
Love your channel. Dennis Chambers please.
Man Jay The best to ever do it imo.
She did this with jet lag too.
YOYOKA "Burn" deep purple, Thanks
She’s not as young as you thinking. She went 23 years old this year 2020. 2020, the year that the earth stood still.
Do a reaction video of Ryuga, also from Japan.
drum teacher 2020: i barely heard her play.
i would look else where.
Yes, she is phenomenal but, what does she think and possibly learn from Sugarfoot Moffit of Michael Jackson, Madonna etc fame? Lead with the bass.
great feel
A good drummer to check out would be Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad a song called T.N.U.C.
Senri i love you poland
Every time I think I suck an X amount, I see a drummer (like Senri) who makes me understand I actually suck a lot more that I thought.
Great review, Garey. BTW - I think her stick broke. Anyway, check out this little 1 minute demonstration of Senri’s kick-ass-ness: ua-cam.com/video/uZMdWEQ5IG8/v-deo.html&lc=z23msxeaopehjlty404t1aokgmlqkuwaymwepsobcrvlrk0h00410&feature=em-comments
Senri has been one of the top drummers in the world since about the age of 12. She’s 22 now, I believe. 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 3 or 4 groups at a time. She even plays great hard rock jazz fusion as well as straight on jazz.
I consider Senri and Simon two of the best drummers in the world, as is Band-Maid the best Hard Rock band in the world, Hiromi the best original hard hitting jazz fusion pianist (especially love when she's playing with Simon P) and Yuja Wang the best classical pianist. Amazingly, all women!
cool video. you may want to react to Kanade Sato, 18 year old exceptional drummer lady
So good. ACE
Hey I’d like to see some of your drumming skills!!!!
Crazy Whop Look him up!
@Crazy Whop, Garey is incredible! I have seen him in person numerous times around the Seattle area. He has an excellent jazz fusion band called Ectasy in Numbers. He is always inspiring to me!
Very accomplished drummer. You can find much more material on his channel.
DRUMZLUT I caught some clips. He’s a good drummer. I’m actually on tour in Europe till. April then we have 16 date tour in the states. I think Seattle is in the list. Portland is I know that. Thanks fir the reply
Pazzesca!!!!!
I think you meant " prodigy " young drummer....you said, " protege " and I was confused a sec.
i think just a few guys can play like her
she can hold her own with the best of the best!
@@p_e_t_e I totally agree, especially after watching her trade licks with Minneman.
❤🥁
Senri is amazing! Great video. PLEASE react to JUNNA, Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Would love to hear your expert opinion. Thanks!
Dainashi is giving a lot of smiles in his drumcovers too! ;-)
Unbelievable. Unbelievable
Drumset Artistry. Loved your reaction. You know what you’re talking about. Would like to see what you think of Kanade Sato. She’s 12 in this video m.ua-cam.com/video/Tu70pGAgW6M/v-deo.html. 16-18 now. Not sure exactly how old she is now. But she has played with Senri m.ua-cam.com/video/4sf3DgS3LEA/v-deo.html before. I think Senri is 3 or4 years older than Kanade. They are both simply amazing. Edit: spelling
Garey, why don't you check out Tamu Murata and comment on her style and energy. I'd be sure to hear your thoughts.
Please send me a link. Thanks!
Bobby Jarzombek
Protoge? Yes, back in the day Kozo Suganuma was her teacher. That was years ago.
Catch up with her actual playing with groups live. She is muy sympatico. With less talented groups, she
quickly assumes a leader role. In other words, she drives the band. In her 20's.
@@TomClark-Futoura Tom, my You Tube user name is a pseudonym. That said, I'm an old guy who loves jazz, and talented artists like Senri. I also follow Junna and Fami (bass).
And of course Tachibana Orange Devils.
I suppose my love affair with Japanese artists began with Hiromi and Sheena Ringo.
@@buzaldrin8086 I should have known you were a fake (one “Z” ). Uncool to use the moon-walk picture, too. Not appreciated!
@@TomClark-Futoura Guess I should have pretended to be Hitler, or Stalin. That seems to be OK.
What do you think about Sugarfoot Moffitt?
Junna please.Keith moon/John bonham hitter.
Akira Jimbo please
Yeah but could you play that!!??
React to Larnell Lewis -"one listen, play perfect"- video... it's awesome, promise you!
ua-cam.com/video/gNmBr7TKivo/v-deo.html
Do Nyango Star.
Wow.....very clinical.....but genius all the same.....cheers
Clinical? The girls putting on a clinic !
one word 6 letters "YOYOKA"
Yoyoka is a rocker. But she's very young. Her time will come.
And yes... Yoyoka knows very well who Senri Kawaguchi is....
ua-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/v-deo.html
Frank D I went to that link but I couldn’t read what was written because it’s not in English. Was Yoyoka copying one of her drum covers?
One word 5 letters "Junna"
@@PaulDA2000 yes.
Yoyoka played Onyx with a live band at 7 years old.
Yoyoka has potential indeed and as another poster stated, her time will come. But please, you can't ever compare Senri to Yoyoka. Senri is of another completely different league of her own - in spades!. It's common logic, Senri has so many more years experience and finesse. When you can play jazz fusion, which is 1000x more difficult than rock drumming for example which Senri does so damn well, then you know you've accomplished something special.
Are you rushing or dragging?
people are crying here. these shitheads on the comment section is comparing female drummers for fun. if you really know your stuff, SENRI is clear from ANY OTHER DRUMMER ON THIS PLANET (well, at one point, she will)
She uses special, longer sticks and a particular balance in order to give BEEF despite her small arms.
What have you done to the recording? There's no base sound in the kick or the toms. Can't listen to that.
My sound was weak then but it's better now. Sorry for that.
@@DrumsetArtistry Cool. I love your reactions, and have seen quite a few of them. I just could'nt understand what happened to the sound. Thanks for the explanation. Keep up the great work.
Zach Hillllllllll
If you're a Senri 's fan ... how could you miss Kanade Sato, the greatest drum prodigy. I really wanna see you react to her video if that's possible. ua-cam.com/video/5jDVZPzfS1c/v-deo.html
People know Senri but who the hell are you?
WTF is up with the audio?
All these people talking YT drummers need to get their head out of the clouds as an oft overlooked female drummer is Santana touring drummer and serial Lenny Kravitz drummer Cindy Blackman. She is seriously talented and has the discography to prove it. A lot of the time it is less about how the person plays for many of these these thirsty voters as many don’t know a floor tom from a tom tom or a crash from a splash.
Eh?
Party Van! Who let the lead vocalists in?
This drumming does nothing for me.....but I can listen to Gadd Marotta and Newmark all day long. Big difference they play the music not the drums. Anyone can learn licks with repetition but to play in the moment and musically that's where the pros make their money.
it would be useful if this alleged Maestro performed phrasing, exercises and feelings directly on the drums. not to tell but to explain technically and substantially.
Yoyoka plays better than Senri... At the same age. I'm surprised you haven't done a video of Yoyoka yet
Can't wait to see yoyoka at 11 and play 'scatterbrain' like senri does
