Superb. Now a veteran with 17 years on a drum stool. This shows what you can achieve if your parents expose you to an instrument at an early age and then support your development.

[@BGTTO]

I just realized, she's using her wrist as her fulcrum point to balance power and speed to make up for her short reach. that's insane

[@pectenmaximus231]

She absolutely smoked those drums..

[@sx0lx012]

WOW! So tight and hit everything punch like a machine! The drum sound is so good! This lady can play Heavy Metal and Fusion Jazz, single kick and sounded like a double kick! AMAZING!

[@jannormann5441]

I have been following her for some years and i have to say she is the best drummer i have ever heard. Its just flawless tecnique and dynamics. And she is still young. Its just silly how good she is. Everyday when i get up i play a Senri video and it makes my day better.

[@ntapdrums999]

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Jealousy would be my guess. I wish I could play like that even if just for one day. But she earned a thumb up from me! Not to mention, drumeo does such a great job with all of their productions.

[@ME-ru4hv]

[@davidseres3030]

@@ME-ru4hv I can appreciate "context" - but if the "complaint" is about context but not about the drumming skills, then a "thumbs down" should be qualified/elaborated in a comment...similarly, I'm not a fan of certain music genres, but I can separate my enjoyment/appreciation of a musician's skills even if I'm not enjoying the song being played...I think it is unfair to necessarily "throw the baby out with the bath water"...

@@davidseres3030 I dont personally think it deserves an actual thumbs down. But to me it shows something almost no one else sees or wants to admit. The great lameification. but yea shes a good tech drummer showing off with jazz. To each their own. Its not hating to say that. Maybe she will read it and discover Wired or Blow by blow. Or even Crimson's Red. In that case, I'm her biggest fan ever

[@DannyELoi]

Senri Puppy!!. Yea, I am 62 and was into Yes, and Mahavishnu, RTF, Tony Williams with Holdsworth. fusion and Prog. I started with that 45 years ago and practiced drums every day. I got good, but not at the level of Senri. Her mom was not even born when I was seeing Jimmy Smith play B3 at his supper club. She surpassed me quite a bit. I still don't understand how with most young people today loving to hear electronic computerized pop, people like Senri even exist. How does this young lady play with such skill, technique and taste know from Lenny White, Cobham, Vinnie, Simon, Dennis, Weckl? And that keyboardist she plays with, Kiyomi Otaka (who plays a real B3 with the bass pedals). How many people even know what a B3 is?

[@MartinDee2000]

She just keeps getting better and better.

[@saruulmio5279]

Sugoi nee, Senri chan! I’ve been watching her cover and performance since 2012. Always making great performances, So talented drummer.

[@michaelprozonic]

She gets so much power from her unique grip. Also , those sticks are designed just for her and are a Signature series now with dipped grips

[@zarikuwa2504]

Senri-chan's number 18 shows her real power. The impeccable drumming that has been played all over the world and Senri-chan's lovely expression shines in the wonderful group she is still in. Even my deceased master is happy.

[@ryo-kai8587]

A freaking excellent performance, technically astounding but full of musicality. _I love it!_ Senri-san rides that 7/8 (or 7/4) groove effortlessly. The time signature changes to 4/4 and back are buttery smooth. Especially her transition into 4/4 with triplets at 1:51. This is just plain awesome. Great work!

[@deeliciousplum]

After picking my jaw up and off of the dusty floor, I can now type that Senri Kawaguchi's artistry is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this performance. 🌻

[@nathanwittock4133]

love how at 02:37 she leaves the 'let me impress you know' double bass for what it is and gets back into that more subtly played groove part like, 'okay, that'll keep the haters away, let me enjoy this groove a bit'.

Wow ! I'm a drummer and i say wow!!! It looks like she's playing on a recorded music right ? And it's even more difficult to stay synchronised. Bravo ! The hihat is recorded to low to have good appreciation of her groove.

[@JerehmiaBoaz]

Agreed, the hihat isn't loud enough.

[@ШотаДеметрашвили-д6о]

.

[@paulbeauregard8297]

Ya, I think the mic should have been down lower and closer to the edge. That top cymbal of the hi hat can only travel a little bit so there's no chance of it slamming into the mic. Is that an Audio Technica 4041? If it is, that's a great mic for hi hat - one that beats the Shure SM81. The rest of the drums are perfect: I'm puzzled how the engineer missed the boat on this one.

[@user-xv4he4mt4x]

He must have also been the dumbest, if he actually said that (and it wouldn't surprise me). From what I've seen most drumming experts don't rate him anywhere near to the top. He was also a world class JERK from what I've heard and seen on some videos. Absurdly ridiculously demanding of his band (of himself too) , and routinely acted like a two year old. There is at least one vid on YT of him excoriating his band on a bus if you don't believe it, and it ain't pretty. And no, being very good does NOT excuse that kind of behavior. He obviously had some personal demons, and if he actually said that, some pretty serious delusions.

@@teacherfromthejungles6671 oh, talent does exist trust me

[@deanroddey2881]

​@@TronciM If it's talent, then why does everyone who plays like only do so after putting in many thousands of hours doing it? You can have physical traits that make it easier for you to do some things than others, and maybe traits that make it impossible for you to do some things (at least competitively.) But everyone who really does something great has basically two things going on. 1-They like it and 2-Therefore they do it all the time. Often 3-They start young and have 1&2, therefore they are very good at a pretty young age. And very often 4-They get some sort of recognition young from it. Everyone wants to be special and that drives them and mastery of that thing comes to define them in their own minds, which again makes them do it all the time and really want it badly. Lots of people then act like it's some gift from the gods, but it's work and practice and desire. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to put in 20,000 hours doing it in order to be that good. I think the mistake is comparing them to people who never get that good. In almost all cases, they won't have worked as hard, or they have other interests that distract them, or they just do it and don't live it and think about it all the time and study it as a science at the same time as they develop it as an art. Those things make a huge difference. And yes, in some cases genetics will factor in, though that's not too much of an issue with drumming, as proven by the wide variety of humans who are good drummers.

I watched this on 1.25x by accident and I was so blown away and so overwhelmed lol. I didn't think it was humanly possible to drum that fast and that accurately and I guess it isn't cause it seems a lot more human on normal speed. Still an absolutely flawless performance (and a much more listenable groove at normal speed! lol).

i remember seeing her on youtube at like 12 years old doing anime music drum covers. she already had a commanding grasp of the drum set back then.

Her style is so amazing! She gets so much speed even though she's reaching so far! There's so much space between her toms and cymbals, yet no matter what is called for she's right on time and it's seamless! If she was just a technical prodigy that would be amazing in and of itself, but there's heart and soul in her playing in her playing! I put Senri in the league with Carter Beauford, Mike Portnoy, Mark Craney, Bill Bruford, Neil Peart, Vinnie Colaiutta, Dave Weckl, Aquiles Priester and Terri Bozio!
