Next stop rising force drum Cover!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌

JUNNA は、本当に凄いドラマーです。

She is in my japanese drummer girls top 5, with Muratatam (nemophila), Haruna (lovebites), Nao Kawakita ( Maximum the hormone) and Mittan (Show-Ya)

She is having a drink in the video because the triples she added was not in the original song. The drink is a reference to the video by the original artist. During the dueling guitar solo, as soon as the first guitarist finished his part he took a drink. A wise man once said, "No matter what you do, no matter how good you are, there is a little Asian girl that is better." All me to introduce you to Yoyoka, she won the Hit Like A Girl competition years ago. Look up the video that she sent as an entry. Title: "Good Times, Bad Times - Led Zeppelin / Cover by Yoyoka, 8 year old"

It was the second guitarist, not Herman(who went first), that took the drink.

Excellent commentary, Junna is nutso. There are so many talented Japanese drummers, I guess it's on to Yoyoka next. Try Burn or YYZ.

People have mentioned Yoyoka there is a video of her doing Deep Purple's Burn that Ian Paice just loved, she just turned 12 and follows reactions to her videos, most times she will comment on them and thank you, as a Liverpool fan, i was born there, i wasn't sure but i subscribed anyway, great reactions

What a fantastic forum to witness such talent from around the world. Such a pleasure spending time with you and the many other like minded drum nerds out there. 👍💙😁💙

Hiya :) I know how to play the drums, but I am by no stretch of the imagination a drummer, but I also studied Kendo as a martial art for over 10 years. In Kendo one of the first principles you are taught is to practise until your sword becomes no sword. I didn't understand that properly for about 4 years, until I was doing kata one day, and suddenly instead of moving from position to position, I was flowing through them. I think that's what your talking about when you are talking about muscle memory and practise. If you do something enough times, with enough precision, after a period of time there is no conscious thought put into that particular thing, you can just do it without thinking, and by pure feel. Really enjoyed your reaction :)

A good reaction, Nerd. What I’ve heard no one remark about, though….think about the relative length of those sticks to her diminutive arms. That makes this all the more jaw-dropping…

Junna is a powerhouse disguised as a young Japanese woman. Besides her obvious talent, her joy while playing is such a treat to watch. If I may suggest another band that has a top tier drummer to check out, Babymetal's main drummer Hideki Aoyama is next level, especially his kick-work. Songs like Road of Resistance, Tales of the Destinies, and many others showcase his robot-like precision and timing. They have to be live versions though, as the studio albums don't use the same musicians as the live performances. There are also a couple videos where the band performs instrumental intros where each member gets some time to shine. Rondo of Nightmare and Catch Me if You Can both have those intros, although the latter is only available as a crappy 'proshot' compilation.

I love Junna. She looks so happy and wild when she's playing, thus the Keith Moon reference. My recommendation is an early video from The Warning. They're a power trio of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. The drummer, Paulina "Pau" Villarreal, is one of my favorite drummers now. The video I'm recommending is her when she was ten years old covering a Kelly Clarkson song. the song doesn't matter so much, it's _how_ she plays that makes it worth watching. The video quality is great, too! kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4l1yrhxe5DcY6Q.html You have been warned!

Love your reaction and insight. Junna is an exceptional talent. I agree she reminds me of Keith Moon and also Animal from the Muppet Band. She is just a blast to watch and she is a real showman. That would be cool if you did get to jam with her. You might follow her on Instagram. But you might let the video end to get her hair off her nose. I think it's going to make her sneeze. 🤪🤘🥁 In one of her other videos Junna uses the her left foot switching back and forth between bass and high-hat pedals. It is either cover of Dragonforce Ashes of the Dawn or Babymetal Doki Doki Morning. I haven't watched those two in a while. Test for Returned Error Passed

Junna

it's gotta be the Kirby socks...

Kudos to the woman that had that one in her belly for 9 month's. 🤪🤪🤘🤘

She use to belong to a great band now named "TRIDENT" after she left. which also her last mv. Best drumming performance in my opinion that gives overwhelming feeling. Please be sure to react to this song VOLTAGE by TRIDENT because I love the way you give insides and technique that most don't so that's your charm man but if you missed the part to properly bring out what you want to say just edit the video and add in your wisdom in text on the video after recording. Hope to see you teach drumming tips for beginners like me that love drums but with zero experience.

@@linoarquiza5433 Remove the musicians from any group and there won't be much left of them either. BABYMETAL has at least done something new in Metal music, it's cooler Metal, but it has never been said that Metal should be a music that should only be played by tattooed long-hairs screaming into a microphone. BABYMETAL is giving Metal music a new lease of life and has opened the door for a lot of good Japanese bands that are getting more and more known. Metal music has many sub-genres and BABYMETAL is one of them. They are recognized by the biggest in Metal, have great concerts and don't pull their punches when they perform. I've been listening to metal since the 80's and I've seen a few bands from the smallest to the biggest, from 150 people to 80,000 seat stadiums. You say that BABYMETAL is manufactured, ok, and what do you think of bands that make their own music, but that everything is reworked in the studio by the producer, and that don't even know where they are going to play live, where the promotion is done by the record company, that's not manufactured. You have to stop dreaming, all the big bands are managed by their production companies, and the others only fill venues with a few hundred people maximum and will never become famous. It's today's business, the time of the bands that were made in a garage and that finally had an international fame, it doesn't exist anymore, unless you have the support of a big production company behind you that takes the control of the band, so in the end a manufactured band like BABYMETAL.

Not at all a silly question, so they usually would be set as overheads and spaced out at the right spots in the room to get the room sound and pick up the biggest picture of the kit. As for individual mics, if not mounted on each drum, they can be mounted inside the drum and then the lead is plugged into the port and you avoid any hitting of them during playing. Be well.

If you think like that you're going against Rob Halford and many well known people in metal music. Lino doesn't even listen to what he thinks is "real metal" or "real music". Lino, before you come up with something that sounds smart to you: I have way wider music taste than you can ever even imagine.
