She's a monster! Started playing at 5 and was a student of the Japanese drum master Kozo Suganuma at 8. She has played with many great jazz musicians worldwide.

Been following Senri closely for eight years. There's literally 1,000's of YT vids on her with many albums and awesome collaborations. She's top 10 in the world IMO. But # 1 for me! Have a fun journey, Mike.

@@jasongamer8649 In a society where discipline's being regarded as something given from early on like kindergarden, the child doesn't need parents to force you as some Western people would imagine.

[@dinamho]

" a nice solo "........you are kidding ! She is incredible.

[@pointlesswasteoftime]

She coheadlined the Yamaha 50th celebrations with Gadd, Jimbo, and Weckl. She's filled in and jammed with Minneman. She's already played everything from pop to fusion. (akb48 to Kiyo*Sen, and her own solo albums)... And she's only what? 23? 24? Phenomenonal drummer. And testament to the hard work she's put in to get there. Her teacher is Kozo Suganuma, a drummer known for metal as well as jazz. The solo contains her trademarks and has changed only a little over the years. That juggle is a permanent fixture. She's even been known to throw in a blast beat here and there. And always smiling. I agree with the other comments, it's her music where she shines the brightest. Another vote for Wupatki, with her trio, Triangle. ... Small note, that's the drumeo kit. It's similar in set up, but usually there's coated skins which gives a nicer crack to her snare work. But the tom's and kick are a1 so it's fine. I'd recommend going with non drumeo tracks for the music part, the drumeo kit doesn't quite fit the music as well as her own DVD performances. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKOre6KPa7etiJI

[@terryc7142]

DEFINITELY check out Kanade Sato playing Dave Weckl too! She's younger than Senri, and another amazing talent to check out for sure.

Senri Kawaguchi is currently my favorite drummer, I remember seeing Buddy Rich live many years ago and she is technically as good, well almost, but she’s remarkable

[@davidtsang4949]

Just a side note. She didn't lose her stick. It actually broke. Loved how she cheekily raised her broken stick. lol

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

Senri actually lifts up the group to a lightning speed previously unknown to the area. She's so light...

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Senri Trivia: She did her professional gigs while completing her BA in Social Sciences at Waseda University. I think she was 21 when she graduated.

[@johnmatthew102]

Where Kawaguchi really shines is when she is playing music, particularly with her three-piece jazz fusion ensemble Triangle. I am probably responsible for a thousand of the views on this video. In fact, I am going to test this link and watch it again. 16th Tokyo Jazz Festival kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6eoc6Nopqx7j7c

[@jamesmartin6713]

I really prefer Senri's Kiyo*Sen music. Of course she is like what, 25 years old, has 7 CDs as primary artist and about another 6 as support/session. Imagine her at 35.

[@timgove5337]

I was going to put this song too. she 24 now, so was 20 here, so three years after she became a judge at the international HitLikeAGirl competition. think she'd won it at 13 or some such. She played NAMM for Yamaha around her 14th bday (Yoyoka did for Pearl at either 9 or 10. Rock tho, not fusion). My understanding is that her teacher has also produced Kanade Sato (18?) and Yuki Ogawa(15-16?) among others (both worth checking out anyway). I can't read Japanese, so again it's my understanding, that this was around the time that this trio won a Tokyo jazz fest award (was this the fest?). Asia Africa & Europe meet in LA... (Pretty sure she actually was specifically sought out by the keyboardist, like when she was 18?). Guess I'm rambling, and I'm a bass player, not drummer, but she's a big deal. Hey, Yoyoka made the list of 500 best world drummers, but Senri is already in the Weckl-type conversations... So, yes, check out Triangle ;). That link is a 15min clip. Here's the same performance, but just the first piece, "Wupatki", and a cool short interview at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnWtaGdmi7Ojrtk

I can't comprehend having this much dexterity

[@vincentgallagher7562]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2ioonqqbLmogpY Here is Senri with a big band, jazz orchestra: solo at 6:22. And 12:50 or so, she sets sail. Saw her play with Kumi Adachi, in a small club in Kyoto. She was cold reading, off the sheets, no rehearsal and was just perfect. When she soloed, Adachi stood there open-mouthed, just shrugging in utter amazement. At the end of the performance, Senri stood near the exit/entrance and thanked each individual as they departed and took whatever time necessary to talk with each person. She is maybe five foot tall and slight. She can play any genre, with ease. And indeed her performance at the 16th Annual Tokyo Jazz Festival is stellar. Here she is playing with her own band: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oICbh5-JptxqmtE

[@Synthacon7]

It's not precisely a band but there's also a video in drumeo with her playing Adventure that song has some sick keyboard as well as the drumming and it's something like fusion jazz type of music. There's also this other japanese drummer girl called Kanade Sato who is also crazy good!

[@jamesmartin6713]

That is a band. It's called Kiyo*Sen. They have 3 albums out. Check out YT video of them playing a song called Drumatica. Think if ELP and Pat Metheny band had offspring,,, it would be Kiyo*Sen.

Ah! Thanks. You’ve now seen my 2 favourite drummers. Akane (Band-Maid) and Senri. There are people who always wish Senri continued playing rock, but I think she’s very happy and awesome where she is with mainly Jazz Fusion?

[@hurricane1951]

You can't react to Senri without reacting to Kanade Sato. Start with Drops (live version) at 11 years old, then jump ahead to her cover of Dave Weckl's Festival de Ritmo at around 17 or 18.

[@zabriabubakar5982]

Also Yoyoka drum cover Led Zappelin songs, Deep Purple songs and more.... :)

[@nfsdrive]

Recommended, for you: Japanese drummer Kanade Sato. She has been playing Dave Weckl music she was 13yo. Kanade has personally met Dave W & he likes & thinks she nails it with his music. She's 18yo now in 2021 & 9-yrs younger than Senri. These are two of my most favourite female drummers. I am a former multi-player musician that started playing at age 10. Bb Tenor Sax (Won yearly awards at 12-15 yrs), Piano (Conservatory, grade 4 ) & drums (Sucked terribly. Lost interest first & then could not get my body working cohesively in all the required multi-tasking). I still did very well at single drums in orchestra & marching bands. Even though I suck at drum(sets). I am able to write music & understand it from a proficient standard. My high ratings of these two drummers are based on my past musical experience. If you want you can check Kanade out playing DW: 13 years old Drummer Girl / Spur Of The Moment - Dave Weckl (Cover) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXumfZWIqJKWqqM 15 years old: Island Magic - Dave Weckl / Kanade Sato - Drum Cover kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIbboHSAZbujo8k 17 years old: Festival De Ritmo / Dave Weckl / Drum Cover by Kanade Sato kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5unh42Gr8uGZ8U I enjoyed your reviews but would like to see (ONLY) a few less interruptions of the music.

[@stanleyday7293]

The youngest member of Drummerworld's top 500 is a young lady named Yoyoka - Another Japanese prodigy. Enjoy her cover of The Police's Murder by Numbers when she was 9 or her recent cover of Deep Purple's Speed King at the ripe old age of 11

[@lurkmerchant]

My favorite yoyoka cover work are virtual insanity and red hot chilli peppers.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Senri is probably the best jazz drummer on the scene today (Akane Hirose is the current best rock drummer). Her drum teacher was Kozo Suganuma. She's come a long way from the Yamaha HipGig kit she had when she was doing K-ON! covers. Her cover of Billy Cobham's, Stratus is epic. BTW, Kozo emphasized stick work in her training.

[@noelle3551]

Akane, even then, was not the best rock drummer in Japan and still isn't. I am sure you will protest, but having seen her on stage play, one can be impressed and I have seen the best play live, Haruna! 40+ years of watching the worlds finest behind a kit and that includes Portnoy and Peart, Haruna is in that bracket! 😎🤟

Good VDO , Thanks

[@kairukafuka6022]

I suggest Kanade Sato, the next gen drummer girl prodigy after Senri. She won the Hit Like A Girl (which was an international contest) at age 11. Look up her song "Drops" live version. And also look up her latest work to know how much she has grown. She's now 18 years old. Tbh, Kanade has better rhythm sense and wrist control. Senri is faster and a bit better with kicks. And oh, she eats Weckl for breakfast. xD

[@yuizaift8940]

I recommend listening to Senri with a band - she is so brilliant with other players. Amazing. My pick would be Blowin' Luv - kick into it at about 3 mins 30.

Senri is and has been the best female drummer in the world virtually since she was 12. She is indeed a jazz specialist. Japan has some of the world’s best female drummers. I would guess this clip is at least 6 years old. Senri is about 24 now. Kanade Sato is another prodigy playing at a gig at 6! Hasnt had the professional help needed to take herself to the next level yet as she’s focussed on her education. She’s 18 now. Some great clips of here in the early teens. Won hit like a girl at 14. Kanade and Senri had a play off when they were 8 and 12. Senri’s speed was phenomenal. Frenetic in fact! Another prodigy is Yoyoka who at 11 is an extraordinarily good drummer. Multi sponsored by Pearl and Ziljian ,played at their booths at NAMM in 19 and 20. She has incredible strength for her age. Broken quite a few sticks. Reviewed by Robert Plant of a Led Zep song at 7. Also Ian Paice of Deep Purple playing Burn.She’s been brilliant since 7. Started playing live gigs with her family at 5 over 150 til end of 2019. Been on The Ellen Show twice. Very good improvisation work on her channel. They’re just some of the Asian prodigies. Amazing guitarists in the early to mid teens that blow your mind with their speed and talent. Check out Petty Rock at 11 from Thailand Ayu Gustfaz from Indonesia at 14 Lisa X at 15 from Japan. All world class prodigies only set to get better.

If you don't know about her, to put thinks in perspective, she took Senri's place as the youngest ever to be added to the DRUMMERWORLD's TOP 500 Drummers of all time at age 11!. Senri was put n the list at age 13. YOYOKA is still 11, but plays like someone with 40 years experience. They are both friends. Her cover "Burn - Deep Purple / Covered by Yoyoka Soma" kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5ndiWyHl61moNU is a good place to start. All her covers are great. She just signed (Two weeks ago) with one of the largest and most respected Talent Agencies in Japan to play live for them, and they will be booking her internationally as well. Has half a dozen endorsements, etc. (Read the profile on the Burn cover for additional info about her). She actually judges drumming competitions as well.

Thank you for branching out away from the excellent male drummers who have rocked and drummed for years. I have my favorites. Let's stay in the far east. Junna from Japan will blow your socks off. I would put her against any drummer you can name, no not Buddy Rich either. She is the most energetic drummer on the planet. Check her Dragon Force song Through the fire and flames. Another is Canon Rock by her. Then there is Yoyoka. Only 10 but stand by!! She played one of Robert Pant's songs and it brought tears to his eyes. Here we go. Vela Blue and S. White, Taiwanese. A-Yeon and Ami Kim, Korean. Kanade Sato, Japanese. My youngin' favorite is Olivia Hanhan. One of her songs is Dynamite! If you watch her she seems so natural!! Amira Sayahira from Malaysia.

Try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h362lWmwbtN7g8U All musicians are amzing. It's an instrumental with Rye aka Suzaku, Senri Kawaguchi and other musicians.

I'm not a drummer, but love the drums. Your reactions are a great education. Thanks for that. Here's why you noted so many jazz influences in her drumming. She obviously just loves it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6eoc6Nopqx7j7c

It's been two years, and you haven't discovered YOYOKA?

[@outwest1014]

I've got a band for you to checkout, one the best in Japan, Aldious. What might interest you is the drummer is Marina Bozzio. Her stepfather is Terry Bozzio of Frank Zappa and Missing PI

[@outwest1014]

dumb computer Missing Persons.

Nice reaction to a great drummer whose work I find consistently creative. The phonetic spelling of Senri Kawaguchi is: Senri Kawaguchi. That's kinda how it works -- romanized spelling of Japanese is phonetic.

[@hiawatha.g]

The jazz sound you are picking up is completely reasonable--a lot of her training and gigs have been in jazz.

Since you mentioned Jimbo Akira (I think you did), here's Senri (15 years old then) having a session with Jimbo. She drops her stick here too haha. Enjoy :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIXReYWIpreNbs0

finally you get to Senri-chan ^.^ you'll find quite many video of her jamming around within a band, maybe you could check this one, covering Pharrell William "Happy" kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4XchmR6Ztl5hq8 if you're interested in another drum prodigy from Japan, you should check this adorable amazing girl, Kanade Sato. At age of 6yo, she already has caught the eyes of Minoru Mukaiya (keyboardist in Casiopea; you seems to be already familiar with Akira Jimbo though). Maybe you wanna check her play in covering Dave Weckl "Festival de Ritmo" kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5unh42Gr8uGZ8U

Bro, watch Junna drum cover Dragon Force songs, Babymetal songs and more songs... :)

[@yurihalberstadt618]

She didn't 'hang out' w/you, you just commented to a previously posted clip of the master herself. Show some respect (perhaps even for her copyright?).

[@user-gj7oq1el7w]

She plays better than you ever will

[@jazzx251]

All I'm hearing is "classic" Senri Kawaguchi.

[@mpetra4537]

Last name is correct......first name pronounced "Sendi"

[@elysium619]

Conspicuous lack of major accolades from the the reviewer. "A nice solo"?!! Hmmm...
