Jack's Reaction to | Bandmaid - Without Holding Back (Instrumental) | "NO WAY! DOUBLE BASS DRUM!?!?"

I have to say that I was not expecting a double bass drum in a rock song, from a rock band, BUT it is AMAZING!! I enjoyed every second of this song! The drums were out of this world, the riffs were awesome and the harmonics/octaves coming from the lead were excellent! The bass was doing to fancy stuff as well that I didn't expect either. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed!!

Miku: How many genres do you want to mix in this song, Mincho? Kanami: Yes!

[@jackcough4149]

Love it!

[@mkoose]

i thoroughly enjoyed you being puzzled by the different styles that are meshed to a song. One reason to love Band Maid is there amazing capability to fuse different styles.

[@jackcough4149]

I truly enjoy noticing all the different styles fused together that works so well together.

Puzzled? I don't think he has been "Puzzled" yet, but it is highly recommended that he should be. Both live versions.

The best band in the world with amazing levels of talent. Don't worry words can't always express what you are hearing. They are all extremely clever and very focused.

[@jackcough4149]

They are indeed very talented

[@sobabruddah7576]

Yep, they've been combining genres pretty much since the start. Check out "Alone", the 1st song written entirely by the band that was accepted by their record label (3rd album, "Brand New Maid"). The perfect fusion of pop punk, funk, and rock, plus a shredding metal over punk solo by Kanami! Add killer vocals by Saiki and Miku, 👍👍🤟🤟🤟

[@jackcough4149]

That sounds amazing!

[@bartyslattfast]

@@jackcough4149 it is an amazing view of how good they were even early.

[@Glenner7]

Awesome, indeed. You should react to a song with vocals soon, though, since you're only seeing 80% of the awesomeness in these instrumentals. And the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts with Band-Maid!

[@robwebnoid5763]

As many bands play their music over the decades, we tend to pigeonhole (Miku pun?) & slice them into subgenres. From classical & folk music, the sounds & rhythms evolve into jazz form, some towards rock, some towards "pop" (whatever becomes "pop"ular at the time), etc. Years later, new bands tend to take those & fuse them back together (fusion) or evolve them further (jazz/soul into hiphop & rock into metal ... alchemy pun?), etc. Band-Maid does a good job of becoming one of those bands that like to play with the alchemy & see where it goes, although of course as of right now they do tend to play in the rock/metal area of sound, although they can certainly go full pop, jazz, & classical (both Western & Eastern classical) if they wanted to. Maybe even hiphop & soul. Most of the gals have music schooling, so that is where their music fundamentals & discipline come from, not to mention born talent.

[@madsstavang]

YES! Akane definitely has a very metal oriented drumming. Most would recommend Black Hole, since it is their fastest song ever and Akane goes nuts in the end, but I personally would recommend "I still seek revenge" (also from their latest album) because it is so god damn HEAVY! Definitely my favorite Band-Maid song, drum wise. The bass is also massive there, which complements Akanes double kicking so incredible well.

[@jackcough4149]

Nice! I'll have to check it out! Thanks for watching 🤘

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA in "I Still Seek Revenge" is at the top of her game at the moment looooove it

[@rodrigoinostroza2359]

Nice reaction. What I can hear: drums are very metal, lead Guitar is more hard rock oriented, bass is very funky/groovy and rhythm guitar is very punkish. I think that makes this band great, because they appeal to a lot of rock genres into their songs. Vocals are legit too, BAND-MAID experience is not complete without Saiki.

[@RetiredInThailand]

Yeah, and then there are their songs!!! Miku, the rhythm guitarist does most of the songwriting, and in Japan she is considered a guineas level poet ... the lead guitarist (Kanami does the majority of musical composition arrangements, and she's next level in that field.) As you can see, Misa (Bass) and Akane (Drums) are two of the best rock musicians you're ever going to find. Then there's Siaki, the lead singer .... beautiful strong talanted voice and a total command of an audience! And that's just scratching the surface of all the surprising and awesome aspects of Band-Maid/Band-Maiko and the girls' personalities!

[@markdzima]

I too have frequently thought that MISA's bass playing often seems to show a jazz influence.

[@dennismayo4307]

[@billmcleangunsmith]

Band-Maid DOES what other bands wish they could do.

[@davestafford8273]

Good analysis Jack. I’ve heard Kanami (lead guitar, green PRS) talk about being influenced by Carlos Santana and Eddie Van Halen. Drummer Akane has talked about being influenced by Maximum the Hormone’s drummer (Nao, I think is her name?). Akane didn’t use the double pedals until she joined Band-Maid - Kanami urged her to use them to be able to keep up with the pace of their music. Miku (rhythm guitar, silver Zemaitis) is mostly influenced by Kanami, who is her guitar teacher (Miku often calls her Kanami sensei). Miku didn’t even play when she started the band and has learned on the job. MISA’s influences are unclear to me but she was introduced to rock music as a child by her mother and has stated that she admires Paz Lenchantin and Smashing Pumpkins. She definitely has some jazz background, as you noticed.

[@yolandria]

Akane also is friends with Nao and hangs out with her on occasion.

[@dennisbarot3079]

Look for the version of this song the 2 guitarists played with Herman Li from Dragonforce.

[@jackcough4149]

Nice! I'll look for it!

[@kiyoneg1580]

Their songs often consist of powerful and accurate Akane drums, funky and tight Misa bass, and Kanami's melodic guitar. Miku plays an important element as the technique becomes more and more familiar with the teaching of Professor Kanami. This composition is the strongest even if each song is different.

[@jackcough4149]

Awesome! Thanks for the information.

[@fernandonovo6149]

Nice reaction.....if you can get your hands on the blueray disc...they have 5 versions of this song....one version per member playing the song and this video version....they also have 2 other songs done the same way....you can see each member play their instrument.....amazing...

That's awesome!

[@jpineda0527]

4:55 Kanamincho ENGAGE!!

[@Liddledriver]

Total control with amazing precision without being sterile and over produced. Consummate musicianship. Akane is one of the most natural drummers I have ever witnessed. You never hear her sticks hit against the rims where some of the very best world class drummers still do. I would love to hear them do some prog rock fusion. They are already bordering on a sound similar to Tool or Crimson they are constantly evolving musically which sets them apart from Love Bites and Baby Metal.

[@snowdog5895]

Play is a song that started out as an instrumental but was so good they asked Miku to write some lyrics for it. I think this would be a good song for you to react to and transition into the FULL Band Maid effect! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Awesome! thank you! Thanks for watching

[@cfofra]

Kanami says her favorite is Santana but she has mentioned Van Halen, which is obvious in her love for tapping. MISA definitely has a Jazz influence in her bass playing. I can relate to MISA as I learned to play Jazz chords and solo on my guitar and played in a Jazz band. It has made me a better metal guitarist as I can take difficult solos and know how to dissect them into smaller phrases. Metal is quite simple in comparison to some of the leaps and stretches Jazz guitar has put me through.

[@jackcough4149]

Nice! Yeah I have been trying to learn more jazz rooted stuff or at least try to learn the basics around it. This band is like the perfect meld of different styles that all compliment each other. Thanks for watching 🤘

all their instrumentals are great, but this would be my fave, seems to rock best. any rock song with a bit of blues or jazz (even a little funk) influence always makes it better providing they keep it LOUD! Misa (bass) Steve Harris fan, Kanami (guitar) Eddie (RIP) among others) Drummer Akane (various)

[@joeking6763]

In an interview Miku states “Band-Maid’s concept is about creating contrast - how we look and how we sound are worlds apart. One is cute and submissive in nature, the other is wild, powerful and dominant. I thought that idea was interesting. Basically, we want to defy expectations.” “We’re not a pop idol group! Don’t judge us on how we look. We want to blow you away with our heavy rock sound.” Miku: It might be different from being inspired, but I like a band called Tokyo Jihen. I think that had some impact. Kanami: Carlos Santana. Misa: The Smashing Pumpkins, Paz Lenchantin. Akane: Maximum the Hormone. This is the band that got me started on the drums. When you see me play the drums, I’m sure that you can see I’m very influenced by them. KANAMI TONO - LEAD GUITAR - plays PRS Custom 24 - Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier. - Writes the music (one interview she states that she has a database - 2 years worth?!?!) Miku Kobato - RHYTHM GUITAR - plays Zemaitis C24MF - EVH Amps - Writes the lyrics - Has only been playing guitar for about 7 years. Was the singer but took a back seat voluntarily! Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps Akane Hirose - DRUMS - Plays TAMA drums with Zildjian Cymbals Saiki - VOCALS - Sennheiser microphones and DPA Microphones

[@edwardallen4051]

You young people and metal. Where do you think metal got the double bass inspiration from - that would be rock bands from the late 60's onwards. Ginger Baker of Cream was the first drummer I ever saw with a double bass drum kit, Keith Moon of The Who and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience also being notable DB users, and it became almost de rigueur for prog bands. I don't know why Ginger Baker decided to go with the double bass but as he was a jazz drummer I wonder if he got the inspiration from jazz drummers of the late forties ( Louis Belllson arguebly the most famous double bass drummer) and fifties only falling out if fashion because of the logistics of lugging two bass drums around.

[@Watcher-bk2jx]

LoL..you need to listen to more Rock'n'Roll if you have never heard double bass drums in a rock song before...LoL! Remember, Metal is a sub-genre of Rock and those double kicks started in the Rock Realm long before being taken to new heights in the Metal arena. Its all just Fantastic Music and Band Maid are the Guardians of Rock'n'Roll since the West has left it behind!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@jackcough4149]

I lean more toward metal than rock but I love the classics. Zeppelin, ACDC, zztop, van Halen etc etc. I might have not noticed the double bass as much due to not listening to it as often anymore.

[@Dtagcity]

You’ve got to check out their instrumental version of “Giovanni” and “No God”. Easily among their heaviest and imo the best instrumentals. The version with vocals are pretty good too but I prefer the instrumentals more as many of the guitar sections got buried with the vocals.

[@jackcough4149]

I do like instrumentals a lot but I think I'm going to hit a song that has some vocals in it to get the full experience for this band. Thanks for watching 🤘

This strikes me as odd.....most of the adulation for this band, these written comments, all read and sound very similar. ALMOST as though they were written by the same person....and unusual grammatical errors by people with English-speaking-sounding names. Claims that can’t be taken seriously - LOTS OF THEM. I looked up a name or two online, and can find no evidence that they actually exist. BeenVerified, Twitter, Facebook- that’s very strange. Now who would do that ? The same puppet-masters pumping music into the speakers at live shows for these musicians to strum their guitars to ? For money? Gross. If true, GROSS. The only thing they can’t manipulate? The music really isn’t very good. You aren’t fooling anyone. Go make an honest living - you’ll feel better.

I'm unbiased on whether or not comments or information is credible or not. I never truly trust any information but I enjoy the music fake or not.
