at 5:39 you can se two of the mics when she is drinking water

I have never seen anyone in my entire life have so much fun and happiness playing DragonForce on the drums, most people usually look stressed out or scared and this girl SLAYED IT with her enthusiasm.

I finally got in touch with her setup guy, Hiroshi...and she is using 3 overhead mics, 1 condenser mic in front along with 2 overhead cameras, and 3 cameras floor level...hope this helps...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That's awesome Info Paul! THANK YOU!

[@geekmoto1363]

makes sense, im betting they were placed just outside the framing of the video cameras

[@RitchieCaron]

Really I would have expected a recording session followed by a camera performance afterwords Because she’s that good. To get that sound from overheads and room mics. is even more impressive.

[@patrickbronson437]

Dude, that’s freaking excellent info. Damn awesome to find that stuff out. Every “drummer reacts” vid I’ve watched to this asks the same thing. 🤘🏼

[@andybrugman3619]

bullshit somethings not right here

[@namitales]

I found this cover of hers like twenty minutes ago and instantly clicked this reaction. I’m 2 minutes in and for some reason I’m crying lmao. I’m a child of a musicians family and the way this girl was pouring her heart out just freaking broke me. I felt her soul, love and passion.

[@thetruthwithtrevor]

She is breathtaking. Her true joy she just exudes is insane. She is in the zone doing what God designed her to do. Wow.

[@papa_xan]

What has always impressed me with Junna, beyond her obvious talent, is that she is having fun. Most drummers, especially ones doing covers of pieces like this, look very stressed out, but she's just enjoying herself and doing what she likes to do.

[@joshdieckmann595]

Yes, this is the fun of watching Junna play, she's just so enthusiastic, and looks like she's having a blast. It makes watching her a joy. He really needs to react to Senri Kawaguchi, if he hasn't already. She's incredible.

[@mr.osclasses5054]

It's interesting to see the dichotomy from Western to Eastern drummers, or musicians in general. A lot of Western musicians are so worried about messing up the song that they always look so focused and serious, whereas most Eastern musicians I've seen appear to have more self-confidence in themselves and their abilities and are able to actually look like they're having fun with it. Even look at Gee Anzalone's (the drummer for DragonForce) reaction to Junna's video. He says he loves seeing someone having fun because he's so used to seeing people covering the song and looking serious. Yet at the same time, he looks so serious when drumming as well.

[@papa_xan]

@@mr.osclasses5054 Gee's reaction to her cover is great, but yes, on stage he does look very serious. It may be because it's his job and if he messes up he'll look bad in the eyes of his fans, although seeing talented people make mistakes makes them more endearing in my eyes.

[@mr.osclasses5054]

@@papa_xan That was a thought I had in my head, but didn't put in because I was more focused on the comparison and the irony of his statement. That said, you're 100% on the mark. Mistakes show us that performers are human and not to be put up on a pedestal just for doing something they trained to do for years. We all do that in our daily jobs. Yet as its own irony, it endears them to a lot of people (myself included) for that very same reason.

[@papa_xan]

@@mr.osclasses5054 It's unfortunate that my boss doesn't find it endearing when I make a mistake at work.

[@Souchirouu]

Junna is a force of nature! Her original work as the drummer as Hagane is amazing as well. Junna is the drummer we all imagine to be in our wildest dreams.

What a talented artist she is a Monster

[@GuillermoSmyser]

The current drummer for Dragonforced loved it. Says it's his favorite cover (besides his own which I guess got him the job in the first place). Loves that she smiles and the powerful attitude (he smiles too), not common in metal who are usually brooding and frowning.

[@gordowg1wg145]

There's actually a video of him reacting to this video - and you're right 👍 Can't recall how I got onto it, but it introduced me to Dragonforce 👍😎

I was probably one of the people that told you to check her out (just for entertainment). She (and Yoyoka) are my favorites. She's a freaking BEAST! Thanks for the cover! Someone said that the when she takes the drink of water she is mocking one of the guitarists in the original video I believe. The drummer from Dragon Force reacted to this and he couldn't stop smiling the whole way through. He said it's the best cover of this song he's seen of this song. I always say she's the most ENTERTAINING drummer in the world. Love the faces and all the wildness. Nobody has disagreed....LOL

The mad mix of this adorable young woman flailing away like a muppet yet being musically and technically accurate at such a pace... ...is quite compelling. I’ve shared this vid with at least a dozen friends and almost everyone has a different take on it....views run from feminism to the better discipline of Asian culture to the virtues of having “dog ears” hairstyle. Myself; I would just love to see Junna in an ensemble that can utilize her talent, personality and showmanship....

Nothing wrong with drummers who have a big drum kit, but I've always been impressed by people who can make a five piece kit sound just as good

[@AndrewHays911]

"where are the mic's" as someone who has worked in productions as sound guy.... drums can be heard over every mic in the near vacinity. i worked a gig where in the pit the drumer was under the "narator" trio and the drums were so loud they were being picked up by the singers mics and the drummer was constantly being told to go gentle. this girl is smashing those drums so any mic neare them will pick it up

[@randypeters366]

I don't think the "drum teacher" knows much. He's most likely an intermediate-level drummer teaching beginner-level students.

[@retroislandboy9708]

good video. and JUNNA is absolutely amazing! ive been following her for quite a while! and for those who think she "can only play fast and only play metal" ...as a drummer myself of 26 years ...believe me if she wants to play jazz she will play jazz .if she wants to play straight up rock n roll she will play rock n roll lol ! for a young lady with her obvious talent it is ridiculous to think otherwise ! and what sets her apart from so many others are her theatrics while playing ...you cant help but smile as you watch lol definitely do a reaction to "Trident" and the song Voltage ! JUNNA was the drummer for this band!

[@RVREVO]

Once you stopped looking forthe mics you were beginning to notice her technique. Junna is singing along with the song. If she ever gets to play sets for a band she will be a force to be reckoned with.

[@yuyulliz]

She is amazing holy moly! What a bad ass! She looks like she is having such a blast too

[@Yes-gz9qs]

I remember years ago my friend's dad owned a music store and played for me a recording he did with his band. The recording was phenomenal. I asked him how they did it he said just one microphone hanging from the ceiling. I was shocked. And that was like 25 years ago. Can't imagine the stuff you have today. She's awesome!!

Junna es fantástica, la gracia, precisión y estilo propio con el que toca la batería es sorprendente y además con un toque kawaii japonés. Simplemente la mejor chica baterista del mundo. No se puede tocar mejor la batería que a como lo hace Junna. Hace varios años que la escucho y la veo, y simplemente no puedo dejar de verla cuando toca la batería, su brillantez es hipnótica.😎😎😎😎

And for your final exam,To pass,you must be able to play 3 seconds of this song.

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

Ahhh...Junna. Come for the drumming, stay for her expressions. :)

[@101harrycox]

I think she should put a 1.5 inch wooden ball on the end of each pigtail. That way she can play notes in between what her hands are playing, turning it into 128th notes. Damn I love this girl, I can feel what she feels thought her facial expressions. This is when the music is not 'In-Your-Blood' but 'IS-YOUR-BLOOD'. [ ROCK ON JUNNA, ROCK ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF]

She does the cover of Canon Rock too. 10 years old YOYOKA SOMA is the latest in the spotlight drummer, another Japanese.
