She has what so many, if not most, drummers lack when they solo: a profound sense of musicality. When you get to that level it can all sound like a technical clinic, but she keeps it musical by adding to phrases she starts, and flowing from one idea to the next. Her technique is phenomenal; her smile is infectious.

Oh... Hey Brian. Love your music man!

I started drumming nearly 50 years ago - and I am honored to have a young woman in a dress "show me the door"...she looks dainty, but she can drum many guys under the table... She is short, and she looks like she has to reach some cymbals (but she does it!)... Her smile just adds to her great playing...

This isn't a solo, this is a conversation. And, it couldn't have gone any better!

@@RobinBstard The general population -- she's not a household name yet.

The most beautiful display of power, speed and elegance, all while being commanding, yet feminine. There is no one like her. Senri Kawaguchi is a goddess among mortals.

So complex, so intense, so groovy, so fluent and finally so musical. And so funny too, about the way she reacts when the stick breaks. So many variations and styles in 5 minutes, but all of them are completely linked into only one coherent piece. The perfect drum solo. This is just brilliant. And the sound of your drum set is just... Oh good lord! Your recording engineer is a guru! So thank you so much Senri for delivering this masterpiece.

Not only is Senri a wonderfully and naturally skilled drummer . . . her spirit is warm and welcoming and no one is more inspiring to watch than her.

Wow- love the way SK started off with a theme, explored snare/tom interplay, even changed time signatures, maintained the groove. Her ambidextrousness is insane. She doesn't just do a lot of banging, there's serious compositional skill with this girl. SK puts together elements of Gary Chester's book, 4 way Independence, Steve Smith, a little Thomas Lang, the precision of Simon Phillips, excellent stick rebound a la Buddy Rich, and a beautiful smile. She'll go far, either with a band or solo artist like her teacher Kogo Suganuma or Akira Jimbo. I've only seen Akira live, but Senri's got that same steady, frightening groove precision. Thanks for posting!!!

no particular change in time signatures, no particularly remarkable ambidextriety, basically a spotfest, no particular precision, basically most of what you said was incorrect

Best drummer I’ve ever seen/heard, cannot resist any vid of hers, her sense of rhythm and physical talent are both off the charts. Beyond that she is so humble, happy and beautiful, if I was 25 yr old I would fly to Japan tomorrow and do everything humanly possible to meet her.

She's a Jazz Fusion drummer that has insane double bass chops (typically seen in metal drumming)!! Highly versatile drummer to say the least! Glad this was in my recommended!

That’s a fantastic performance. One of the best drummer of the planet...Nothing less!

She picked up that new stick so smoothly that I thought I must’ve imagined her having lost/broken one lol

Senri is truly amazing! ❤

Excellence and charm personified. Her playing is a joy.

And she's having a blast playing, doing her thing and blowing our minds.

It is incredible that this slim girl can such dynamics! She's one of the best drummers in the world!
