0:00 - normal rock/pop beat with normal 16th note fills
0:21 - a little aggressive for a child song, but okay
0:22 - normal beat resumes
0:30 - an insane metal drum fill leading up to a hi-hat metal beat, used in a lot of nu-metal songs
0:42 - ride cymbal fill
0:44 - crash cymbal fill
0:47 - pre-breakdown anticipation fill
0:52 - blast beats, used in a lot of death metal, black metal, and deathcore songs
0:57 - blast beats, but with the ride cymbal
0:59 - unnecessarily long fill
1:02 - breakdown beat with 32nd note double bass pedal. AKA the Infant Annihilator beat
1:12 - rock/pop beat with open hi-hats and cymbal fills
1:22 - ride cymbal fill
1:24 - snare rolls, used by a lot of orchestral drummers to build anticipation
1:32 - punk beat. Used by punk rock drummers, usually in verses to emphasize speed and teenage angst
1:37 - punk beat with the ride cymbal
1:42 - more punk beat, except more generic
1:47 - that Infant Annihilator breakdown beat again
1:52 - blast beats again
1:54 - WHAT THE ACTUAL F&%$
1:56 - unnecessarily long fill for the outro
2:04 - BRAVO!!!

For non-Japanese viewer: This is the theme song for Anpanman, a super famous kids show in Japan, and the theme song is equally iconic.

As a drummer, the most impressive part of this is his ability to keep tempo perfectly while playing.

This so much. It takes a lot of control to play so hard and fast yet keeping it all articulate and in time.

You don't need to assume nothing. "They" is plural. To refer to someone, a singular individual, as "they" is gramatically incorrect. Stop butchering english language for your own virtue signalling orgasms.

Restricted movement and visibility isn’t necessary when you’re playing drums. You just need to remember the location in which you are playing them in.

Kudos for the tabs. I mastered the "sticks to the head" section.

[@4sig]

I remember seeing him live about 7 years ago, the manga festival they do in my city decided to bring him, I had no idea who he was, only while I was walking near the stage I heard someone playing the drums wildly, I approached out of curiosity and I found him, dressed in a red cat suit, playing with great passion xd From that day on I will remember him for the rest of my life.

@@timothyp.1392 I don't think people are assuming it's a man, I think people are just used to using "he" as a sort of gender neutral when you don't know the gender of the subject.
