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

[@paulkerkhoff3714]

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]

[@yuko6794]

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 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.

[@MetalMonkey]

5:37 is an homage to the original video, most people miss it. She's amazing, so much energy and she's so happy, I've watched her video multiple times

Your face while discovering tornado Junna is absolutely priceless.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA!

[@craig5322]

Tornado Junna or Hurricane Junna would be such an awesome nickname

[@mikepark1221]

Watching the emotional rollercoaster of emotions of your face has made this my favorite reaction video to Junna

[@magnushallin3640]

He realises he is watching a fake video but has to play along...

[@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.

[@autohmae]

5:35 she is making a reference to the MV of Through The Fire And Flames where the guitarists take a drink between solos :-)

Junna is absolutely amazing, and props for the Flight of the Concords shirt!

[@yuyulliz]

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

[@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 👍😎

[@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.

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

*The snare drum took a cigarette break right after the filming of this video.*

[@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]

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

I read an article with her she said she didn't start playing drum until she was 15. She is 20yrs old now and has been in the band Trident.

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!!

[@joeface03]

Yeah, this is clearly recorded with a pair of area mics. Clunky kick, trashy cymbals. True garage band sound. Simply amazing.

[@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.

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

[@P3wP3wPanda]

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

[@baumi-metal9123]

Well, to ME Yoyoka is the Rock'n'Roller and Junna is the Metal-Beast, in my opinion maybe a bit TOO wild, but that's her style. To ME, speed is not the only thing, so from that point of view I like Yoyoka and Kanade more (don't misunderstand me. I like Junna too very much, so pls don't yell at me, Junna-fans!)
