[@DuskoMKK]

I’ve watched this video in 2007 when it was uploaded and it’s crazy that I still remember it 🤯

[@dagugoso]

He's definitely a God... speechless... Thanks Akira for existing and from now on you'll be my drumming God!!

[@Five_31]

I just discovered this dude after all these years of listening to this kind of music. Glad there is someone out there composing this kind of music still

[@Art-Sin]

Casipea?.

[@robbyatmaja6896]

and you are sitting on Akira Jimbo's set??? what a lucky person you are!!!

[@NYtoPDX]

you can see how much joy he gets out of playing and it always makes me smile. Not to mention how crazy talented he is.

[@fullyflared96]

I love when musicians smile when they are playing. It shows they're being immersed in the music, rather than trying to come off as cool and kept. I find myself doing this as well.

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

He's been doin it for over 20 years....and he is known all over the world for it

[@ThaDrumaH]

I met Akira in 95, at the Vancouver DrumFest.. what a great Guy and a SMOKIN Drummer. one of the best. TDM

[@steveo27969]

Look how happy his face is, i love that little guy :D

[@cagefreakin91]

I

[@3579rock]

@chrisrobertsotb probably he places the trigger devices directly on the rims, so that they can capture the vibrations produced when he hits the rims instead of the heads.

[@D0nCab]

it makes me smile when you see drummers mouthing along to the song in the classic humming/drum language hybrid. shows they are paying attention to whats being played. hes all : hmmmm hmmmmm, ba da da.

[@pipi333]

@Khironification it's just a regular pad with a program changing setting.Everytime he hits that pad, the sounds/midi map are changed.

[@diegovercesi]

This guy have the feel! go get'em JIMBO!

[@ThinJizzy]

Looks like he's having fun. :D

[@ebunewway]

He is unique, with its factory !!

[@ltaoklazteck]

is a 13 ¼" hybrid hihat k custom series, customed for akira jimbo by zildjian, most of his cymbals are k custom hybrid series =) developed like two years ago

[@BittenMitten]

I saw this guy on the TSQUARE vid!! he's awesome!!!

[@aaaa-ij8hc]

神保さんは優れたドラマーだけでなく、英語もペラペラなんですね。He's so cool !!

[@37hironori]

こんな事が可能になってたなんて！ とても素敵だあ。

[@pokoknya]

He speaks perfect English also.. wonderful..

[@calocalel]

Akira es un Genio en la bataca !!!!!

[@what1ever2guy3]

wait...2:25 he's hitting the same rim twice in a row without changing sound categories and it makes different sounds..or am I mistaken ?

[@Zeepyleen]

Great, great drummer!

[@hswwsh]

she was just so amazed at every thing, like "wow, it makes a sheep noise, OMG"

[@newfunkdrummer]

Que linda entrevistadora, Akira es un marciano que tal batería!

[@maurovalenciamusic]

after checking that complete terrific drumkit and all the sound variations, i came to the conclusion that you are right... the chick is hot....

[@Drumspiracy]

BEST DRUM HOSTESS EVER!

[@masterofall4elements]

amazing, pretty cool show!

[@Jevildury]

this guy is the best of putting a yamaha set into a hybrid set.Lol this guy might be wierd but he knows how to put stuff together and make sound crazy. Don;t jugde this guy but i think that he could make drumset worth alot of money.

[@AlexisAdvance]

Beautiful !!

[@normalwhitedude]

this guys amazing

[@bradmaramba]

nice drums, nice drummer, nice music and nice chick

[@pnutskater96]

i like death metal ans death metal extreme drumming and all thats but this guy is amazing and one of my favorites

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

The triggers are on his snare 10",12" and 14" toms,Bass drum and Jam Block You're looking at the Dual Zone pads

[@surviveautodafe]

Akira's been incorporating midi pads into his drums from the early days of casiopea, early 80's my friend.

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

Dude it's the fact that he's incorporating the kit with songs. Plus Akira was adding electronics to his kit since his days with Casiopea over 25 years ago(4 way independence takes forever to develop) Plus he used to play guitar and piano before he started to play drums at the age of 17 and the song from 2:35 to 6:16 is a original song he made.

[@earcandy]

Realllllly funny video. Akira's the man !!! As always !

[@blubblubblub345]

He's weird..he's just happy playing his favorite musical instrument!. Beautiful music. how can I download this ?

[@Drumspiracy]

"Bigger sheep." What a cutey!!! And Akira is nice too...

[@BarlowFlip]

who said that drummers couldn't be melodic :D nice one Akira!

[@kimmin1208]

look at his child-like face.. he's purely enjoying the music

[@bajio12]

Oh my god！ He is amazing!!

[@Rogers1977]

I love the sound of that ride that looks like a china. So nice.

[@Homaridrum]

[@freakydrummerpro]

[@tagh1022]

@KeithMoon94 Her name is 'melody.' and she is Japanese singer.

[@Bierfarm]

[@4StringDomination]

"Sheep...Bigger Sheep...Mother Sheep..." I Fucking loled...

[@shoonger001]

Amazing!!

[@Khironification]

What's the pad he says changes the sound around 2:00? What did he say that was called?

[@astralhorizons]

epoca = season or period in time, epoca del sol=season of the sun?

[@master1sa]

he aleys smileees, you see he still has so much fun as at learning the first groove

[@KNasGames]

Legend!😎👍

[@chad3225698]

This Trigger system redefines the "triggers are cheating" comment. ^^, This is really cool. does the note sustains until the next note? The Girl's really really cute too. AKIRA's my favorite Japanese drummer!!!

[@MajorAddiction]

it's on NHK, a japanese network

[@chathamight]

the samples on akira's drums sound more realistic than the sample studio audience!

[@helgedell]

What is the purpose of bringing that guy into the frame? Kidding...Akira. I love you. And have done that since the 80-ies. Hope to see you here in Norway soon.

[@Xolin11]

I wish there was a high quality version of this performance.

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

I know right...I'm still stuck watching his Independence VHS sometimes

[@Suzukisenpai]

It`s very funny)) And great Jimbo`s performance of course. Hm... It`s something like a flagship V-Drums by Roland.

[@TheSleathable]

If this is oak custom kit...how come its in white? oak custom x is only one in white...

[@inx751009]
