Amaryllis by Kay-Ta featuring Senri Kawaguchi (ドラマーズソングブック２収録）

[@tcwild100]

Hundreds of drummers can (mostly) cover her basic drum 'chops'; Not many can do ANYTHING in 25/16. ONLY SENRI. So good.

[@phenbuz]

Hard work - Precision - Seriousness and Simplicity.....One Of The Best Drummers. I love Senri Kawagushi.

[@kenmichielsen1642]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@mconway920]

Every time I think I have seen Senri's best video, I find something like this to blow my mind all over again. Drummers (and I was once one) always like to argue about who is best... and I don't know if there is an answer to that question. But Senri is definitely on the short list and for me, the combination of power and musicality she displays is one of the most astonishing things I have ever seen. The guitar is impressive too. I would really like to see the sheet music for this and get some clue what time signature they are playing in.

[@kaytamatsuno]

It's 25/16/ I am releasing an album this year so and I can include the sheet music and play along track.

[@mconway920]

@@kaytamatsuno I saw that heading at the start of the video. I have been trying to count along but clearly my ear isn't nearly as developed as you guys. I appreciate how, despite the odd time signature, it's still very listenable. Really great work.

[@lou8352]

To be honest, I somehow stumbled over Senris videos once and since then I'm addicted. ... And then I got this here in my list. Man, you both together are dope!

[@GhostOfLorelei]

A lot of folks first introduction to Senri is her Jazz/Rock Fusion stuff (most of Kiyo*Sen, her own project, is that). And I would hazzard a guess that most of her fans are mostly into that. But I have to say, I’ve always been super impressed by her versatility. Her stuff that is purer Jazz is also super super good... My favorite mix list with her wanders back and forth between both just because it’s fun to hear all the contrasts.

[@teddys3558]

Jay Carr Senri is most definitely a phenom and amazing at soloing but if I have a critique of her is that she’s too chopsy and has a very weak concept of pocket and groove. She doesn’t know how to play with space well. She is too in a hurry to throw in fills. Not impressed with her in this area. Here is the example of what I mean. I can’t see her grooving and playing with space like this...kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7XenqDpcajhas /kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5SkkmR9nLCdm68 /kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZq4qJhnoJ57gtE These guys have all the chops you could possible think of but they can just sit in the pocket and groove.

[@nekoneeko4983]

SENRI - san , as usual perfect . It 's a pity that the video doesn't focus on the bassist instead of the guitarist in a master piece where the real challenge comes from those 2 . As a bassist I will never have enough of Senri's work .

[@kaytamatsuno]

Thanks! The reason why the bassist isn't in the focus is that I (Kay-Ta Matsuno/guitar player) am playing Bass as well as keyboard and everything else except drums. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn3PfpqDnMpohNU I have known Senri since her 2nd album which I wrote 2 songs for her.

[@nekoneeko4983]

I guessed so . Actually last year I was ready to hire Senri san for my last project in japan....when this bloody covid broke down all my plans ....whilst the percussionists in thailand (where my studio is) are quite good I can 't find a drummer like her . You know why ? She is the only japanese drummer whose patterns remind me sometimes those of traditional taiko.Anyway you 2 are doing a great team work . Congrats!

[@SmartrMelons]

Sorry, kay-ta. I meant the compliment to both of you, but the "See You Mush Later" song question was for Senri:) Great combo, hope you guys are able to play together often. As you well know, good drummers are harder to find than good guitarists. Which you are one:)

[@kaytamatsuno]

@@SmartrMelons No worries! Actually "See you ~" which is composed by George Nishigomi is 17/8. (7/8 and 10/8 back to back) It is a really hard song to play a solo over when I had a concert with her a few years ago..Its from her 2nd album "Buena Vista" on which I wrote 2 songs. One of the song I wrote "Onyx" became pretty viral in the scale of musicians.. Even though Senri is not a singer she kinda is for jazz/fusion composers. They write better songs when they know they have her on the stool. She inspires us to create good music. Btw please subscribe to my channel as well as hers!

[@kaytamatsuno]

Haha! Thanks! I came up with the intro Guitar riff first without counting, I transcribed my own idea and found out that was 25/16 so it was a big surprise to me as well! I wrote this song more than 10 years ago but when I had an opportunity to write songs for a drum instructional material (minus one) I pulled out the song again and modernized it a little bit. I am glad you liked it! Please subscribe to my channel! I will have a collab with Senri again in the near future.

Haha at 2:37 she looked like she was just involved in a car crash! Awesome!!!

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

OK. So? 25/16? Can anyone give me a hint how 25/16 works? For example a 5/8 is often a (3+2)/8, i.e. a stronger beat at 1 and 4, making the groove. But 25/16, what is that?
