Akira Jimbo | Metamorphosis - Performances

[@ChristopherDillman]

When one gets lost in the sea of Dave, Virgil, Dennis, and Vinnie videos.. there's Akira. Such creativity and flair that just might be nonpareil.

[@マシュードーラン]

Damn you just hit the nail on the head!

[@joelwatkins4377]

…and we forget about this guy? Lol He’s crazy good and musical!

[@jcurphy1976]

Gadd, Phillips, Cobham

[@pulsar-_-4504]

The early 80s-early 2000s was definitely Akira Jimbo's most prime drumming

I would love to see this guy on Drummeo. Seriously. I what to hear everything he knows about working with A2E, midi and his approach to sequencing and drumming in general.

[@davidt8438]

This guy has PERFECT timing.

[@StaticSloth]

I saw this man live in south africa at a workshop. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He smiled through the entire thing. Biggest smile. He was so kind to us and put on an amazing show

[@a-maize-zing]

Audio is so damn well synced to video and props to whoever set up the recording equipment everything so clear, this guys a beast

[@takudon4980]

とても懐かしいです。誤解を恐れずにコメントしますが、この頃の神保さんのドラミングが一番刺激的で好きなスタイルです。

[@stdocyuze9000]

[@Yuuki-PUREI]

I'm really glad that I have all of Akira Jimbo's DVD that I bought 20 years ago. 🥁💕

[@ikeeptime]

One listen to this video and as a drummer Im rethinking my reason for existence. Masterful.

[@patton303]

So if anyone wonders where modern “gospel chops” came from, guys like Brian Frasier-Moore, Chris Dave and Chris Coleman will tell you they idolized Akira Jimbo, and this instructional video specifically. Music is beautiful.

His timing and dynamics are in-credi-ble. He flows so smoothly

Better than Mike Portnoy

[@joshsinclair7548]

I saw him at a clinic at Mars Music in Raleigh, NC in the late 90’s. He blew me away.

Shout to Music Loft that used to be across the street!

[@joshsinclair7548]

@@anotheryoutubed That’s right! Music Loft was my favorite spot.

[@anotheryoutubed]

@@joshsinclair7548 If you're still in the area or ever are, MOST of the guys from the OG Music Loft days are over at SoundPure in Durham. They became Indoor Storm in Raleigh after Music Loft closed and then SoundPure after that. They still have top notch gear.

[@arandommaggot4963]

i'm kinda curious, how does he turn on the trigger on his bass drum? is that a track he's following or the bass drum itself making that funky sound?
