1. Akane 2. Akane 3. Akane

My top three favorite are: 1) Akane 2) Tamu 3) Haruna Now, seeing Junna looking like she's having more fun than all other drummers combined, I'll have to check her out.

1 Akane (Her drumming has great groove) 2 Tamu 3 maybe Nagisa?

My list - 10. Natsumi (probably this low because I don't listen to Bridear enough) 9. Miki (The OG and we are of the same vintage) 8. Yoyoka (a genuine prodigy with the Ian Paice seal of approval) 7. Sae (the final great piece that Hanabie needed) 6. Nao (the Japanese drummer I have been listening to the longest - and how the &%@% could she be left off anyone's list??) 5. Junna (a force of nature that needs to be back in a band) 4. Tamu (these top 4 are very tough but someone has to be 4th) 3. Hana (IMHO this woman belongs on the drums) 2. Akane (I was fortunate to be able to see her live in October and she was world class - also funny, as they all were) 1. Haruna (She is the least flashy of the top 4 but she continually impresses me the most - can't wait till February)

@★METALMESSIAH★ I have no idea what you mean. Please explain

As far as straight-ahead metal drummers go, it's pretty hard to top Haruna or Tamu; but when it comes to writing and executing ingenious charts that contrast creatively with the other instruments, it's Akane Hirose all day, every day.

These women all have amazing skills. But I'm not much of a metal fan, so of this list, Akane is the best for me. She uses a lot of jazz-like triplets and syncopation, and her compositions are very complex. And she has a masculine groove and strength to her.

Nice. If it wasn't only the rock genre, I would've chosen Senri Kawaguchi as my No.1 :)

great job, but my top 2 would be haruna, and akane. but im a fan of both bands so i couldnt say who is better. they both have their own style which makes them stand out for me

Akane and Tamu at the top, everyone else tied for third! Honorable mention to Yoyoka. All very inspiring musicians and people. Thanks Frank.

My picks: 1. Akane (BAND-MAID) 2. Tamu (Nemophila) 3. Natsumi (Bridear) 4. Nagisa (Trident) 5. Sae (Hanabie)

Great list. All peerless talents. My personal favorite is Akane; I listen to her drumming regularly, whereas the others on this list tend to be seasonal.

Awesome list Frank 🤘😁🤘 My favorite is the one, the only... 👸HARUNA 🥁⭐🏆

Princess HARUNA! The CUTEST! 🥰

Another great video Frank, thank you...again putting them in order for me is impossible. As others have stated I would have to include Nao Kawakita and Tohko (Saiseiga and Zettai Club). When I am at concerts my eye is always on the drummer -Nagisa and Natsumi (and every Japanese female drummer) never stop smiling, they are so amazing. I saw a smaller band called Cantoy and the drummer called Sae Matsumoto was awesome and a really humble lady, worth checking out. One concert I went to was a '3 man show' in Shinjuku it had - Broken by the Scream, Hanabie and Trident...during Trident's first song Sae ran across the stage and dived into the crowd for some crowd surfing..she is awesome.

These lists are fun. Looking forward to the vocalists.

Once again your top 3 are the same as mine. I just find it difficult to put them in order. From the lists you have done it seems pretty clear that your favorite metal band from Japan is Nemophila and your favorite rock band is Band Maid. Coincidentally I have the same opinion. 🇯🇵🥁🔥🤘

@FrankReacts

Yep! if we are talking about full female bands you are 100% right!🤟

1. Haruna - Lovebites 2. Tamu - Nemophila 3. Marina - Aldious

Tamu is probably the most skilled, but my heart will always go to Akane, especially when it comes to composition.

@cepho8349

Senri Kawaguchi is the most talented.

Nice list. Akane and Tamu would be on top of my list. You should check out Tohko, drummer for SAISEIGA. She is another great drummer.

all are amazing and extremely talented but i would say that my favorite top are Haruna 🤘and Tamu

1. Tamu, 2. Akane, 3. Natsumi, ... still hard. Certainly Mari much higher and certainly Aruto (the first drummer in Aldious) in the top 10. The first 3 are intelligent, varied, interesting playing. Mari and "her younger sister" Haruna (similar in appearance and playing) are the queens of metal drumming (less progressive, more sharp, fast playing). I believe they are the most durable and the fastest. Mari plays a little funny. Bent over the drums, she barely moves her sticks. On the other hand, it seems very ergonomic. He usually laughs at that. She should be nicknamed "Cyborg". Junna has not shown enough for me yet. But not only did she play with Trident and make videos for the channel. She also participated in the project: 神凪アリス act.3 ワンマンライブ 2020.11.29 ～Nocturnal Symphony～ kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3qYqbCDYsqafag.html (Yashiro, Mary's Blood's concert supporter also plays there).

This is a hard one. Tamu has ridiculous skill, playing X Japan and Dream Theater covers with ease and a huge smile. She totally kills it in Nemophila. I've seen her live, so I'm biased. But I'd agree with her at the top spot. Junna, to me, has amazing talent but hasn't quite proven herself with a band yet. Things didn't work out with her and Trident. She needs to learn how to build a pocket with her band mates. For that reason, she is just a youtube drummer to me. Akane is very close to Tamu's technical skill, and has a little better feel because of her tight chemistry with Misa and Kanami. I can't really argue with those who put her at #1. My list goes like this for now. 1. Tamu 2. Akane 3. Natsumi 4. Marina 5. Hana 6. Mari 7. Mizuki (Lonesome Blue) 8. Nao (Maximum the Hormone) 9. Haruna 10. Sae

I was like, what Akane is three? But yeah, this is spot on through your perspective. Also. These have been great, so keep it up

Tohko (Saiseiga), Hina (Tribal Scream Of Phoenix), Mizuki (Lonesome Blue), Chiiko (D-Drive), Nao (MTH), Kanako (Hagane), Haruka (Fate Gear), Miki Tsunoda (Show-Ya) and Yuri (Gacharic Spin) could be part of this list, but my favorite is Senri Kawaguchi.

Great list! Hard to go wrong here. I'm hard pressed to think of a Japanese female drummer currently in a band who ISN'T exceptional. Other than the top 3-4 you have here, I really like Natsumi and Nagisa a lot! My only honorable mention here is Yuri, the current "other" drummer for Gacharic Spin. She seems to be able to hold her own!

There are many amazing drummers in Japan. I'm surprised that you didn't have Nao in your top 10. My picks: 1/ Akane 2/ Tamu 3/ Nao 4/ Hana 5/ Senri (In fact, she's the best) Special mention to yuri (Gacharic Spin), Rina (SCANDAL), Tohko (SAISEIGA, ZETTAI CLUB)

Nice!! My number one of my favourite top 10 is Tamu!! ❤👍🏻🎉😃

BTW just to let you guys know after I'm done with this "first wave" of top 10 video charts I plan do a chapter 2 for all of them where I will put a bit less popular and more underground Japanese female musicians! I might even do non rock/metal charts in the future! as long you guys keep watching I will keep putting them out! 😁 (and btw thanks for Watching!)

Junna for metal? You are wrong lol.

top three are certainly the top 3 for me the order is different with 1 Akane 2 Tamu 3 junna Junna in 3 because although she has the best hands and feet of them all her style makes her the center of attention and drowns out het band mates, so she is probably the best "drummer" but she overwhelms the band she is in she is the star, maybe my opinion will change on her if she is in a band where her band mate are equal or better than her. between Tamu and Akane its down to taste, but for a bit of clarity Tamu sounds like Akane did before Akane's back problems caused her to change her drumming position and style to a more head up back straight posture, in her early days she was bent over the drums and played like animal from the muppets

Amazing group of Japanese rock metal drummers, Frank. But two things I should mention: I would have put Akane number one because, while she might not be as fast and as physically flashy, her writing and beat support for the song is unmatched, imo. Especially with the toms and kick. Some call it taste over LPM (licks per minute) -- although Akane does overplay the snare a bit at times. But it always fits perfectly. The second thing is, Senri Kawaguchi, who I consider among the best drummers in the world and plays in various rock / metal bands in addition to her fusion work, should actually be at the number one spot. Thx for making the list, Frank!

1. Akane 2. Tamu 3. Haruna

I like Haruna, Junna, Emily, Tamu, Akane, Megu, and Senri! 🥰

Haruna, Tamu, Nagisa, Hana, Akane. 🤘

You should check out Natsumi's band before Bridear, Telecide. They had a nice mix of clean and harsh vocals. They were an all-women metalcore band, 2016-2018. They only have two 4-song EPs and most (maybe all) of the songs have KZread videos. Start with :Cycle of Addiction. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6SI08pxZ7rLppc.html

What impresses me about Tamu is how professional she is. She sits with other bands and reads their music while she plays.

Disappointed that your footage of Akane didn't show her face. How about that classic drum solo from Freedom? Akane #1 and Haruna #2 for me, although all of the top 10 selection are good. Junna is a standalone act on drums in many respects, a bit like Fami is/ was on bass.

Nunca ví una baterista tocar tan hermoso como Tamu! 😎🤘

Next singers. But that was all Frank. Make a list that is quite popular, and here probably no one has done it. Top 10 riffs.

Akane is my Favourite too!!!!

All top drummers. Personal preference, Yes. But how do you rate Nao - from Maximum the Hormone. She inspired not only Akane and Tamu to play drums, but a hole wave of female drummers in Japan..... And she is still teaching them lessons. Nao should have been on the list.

I would put Hana at #1 just because of her versatility and composition - just listen to "Monopoly" by Doll$boxx or "mindset" by Gacharic Spin - she plays over 11 instruments - composes, arranges and produces most of GS songs - can sing and scream WHILE she plays intricate drum parts. Tamu would be my #2 - she has even filled in for Gacharic Spin on a few gigs - she also can play any style and brings a lot to Nemophila's table

and Mizuki from East of Eden

+1 vote for Kahokiss ;)

Raise A Suilen - Natsume

My favorite is Akane Natsumi because she plays like Akane , if you watch her you will see it Marina Bozzio plays like the legend although she is a legend in her own right heres one some one might know reika okuyama

Natsumi. She was also in the band Telecide. And Lovebites Haruna was in Destrose.

Where is Nao from MTH? She is the godmother of Japanese female drummers

Do you know Fate Gear? Where"s Haruka?

My top 10: Tamu （nemophila) Haruna （lovebites) Marina （aldious) Junna （ex trident) Nagisa （trident) Mari （mary's blood) Akane （band maid) Sae （hanabie) Natsumi （bridear) Nao （🤘🏻MTH🤘🏻) Btw, Junna's age should be wrong, i think she should be around 26.27 now🤔

ALL of these drummers are exceptionally skilled. With that said, I might change one, or two up, or down. However, there are die fans that will only support their favorite band without giving an objective listen. I’m quite familiar with most of these drummers and bands. From an objective standpoint I agree with most of your rankings. Some of the fan favorites, and mine to be honest should be lowered, and others promoted. I interesting video.
