Senri is the real deal. She just totally destroys the stereotype of a badass drummer with a lot of tattoos, piercings and other silly macho bullshit. She looks like an innocent little schoolgirl, but plays better and heavier than all the established names in rock music. It's just unbelievable... She's truly a force of nature.

Senri this definitely not the first time you've given this old drummer a lesson. You've been amazing me for more than 10 years now. Thank you! You are an amazing drummer.

Senri is the perfect blend of old skool and new innovative techniques. She employs them all creatively and flawlessly. She could easily play for any Rock band in the world (for money and fame), but chooses to embrace the most challenging musical endeavors. She's not just one of the best "girl" drummers ever, she's one of the best drummers overall. When you've shared the stage with masters like Lee Ritenour, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl and Akira Jimbo (and they all respect your chops) you're undoubtably a "world class" musician. Thanks for sharing, Drumeo... awesome stuff!

I see Senri’s name, I click. Never disappointed. Definitely one of my favourite drummers!!

Kinda awestruck. Not only by the phenomenal playing, but how the first time I saw a clip of her, I described like this... "Its as if she were a cup, and the music water. And it simply pours out of her. Effortlessly, naturally." When she made a similar simile near the end of the video I got chills. Rock on girl, just seeing the joy it puts on your face as you play was awesome to witness, then the fact that you have a killer style on top of the love of playing, you're one of my top favorites now, instantly. Keep it up! Everybody needs to discover joy like this in something.

The end where she explains that thunderous roll is why I love the drums soooooooo much. She is absolutely amazing!

Careful there Raimund, it sounds like you are actually thinking! I've found occasionally when undertaking that exercise that it can be fraught with danger. :-) Excellent point, BTW, made me think...and as I said...

This is the kind of drumming I love. People who have chops, but also have the ability to hold a grove.

She's so cute, and, yet, she's a total beast on the kit. Love it! Her little giggles after playing a messhugah beat just made my day!

I know there’s probably some added effort required because of the language barrier, but I just want to say “Thank You” to Drumeo for providing content from Senri. I’ve been following her for about 5 years and she’s the reason I’ve discovered other amazing Asian musicians and bands. In my opinion, when it comes to female musicians, the Japanese ladies seem to dominate. While Senri is my favorite Jazz/Fusion/Soloist drummer, when it comes to the Rock/Hard Rock/Metal genre, Akane Hirose of Band-Maid (also from Japan) is definitely my favorite and currently ranked #1 on Rankers Greatest Female Drummers List (Hint, hint, some content from Akane would be great). As for my favorite Cover/KZread drummer, check out Tarn Softwhip from Thailand. She does amazing covers by Avenged Sevenfold and many others. Check out “Bat Country”.

Cool drummer, very enthusiastic, light spirit but make no mistake, serious chops, tremendous player

I've been following Senri for at least 10 years. I had the privilege of meeting her and seeing her perform in a Yamaha drum clinic in Canada in 2022. She is an incredible musician and a very humble and kind person. I hope that her star continues to rise. She is on the path to being one of the world's great drummers.

Drumeo, This is AWESOME! I'm a Guitar player and I find myself on this page very often. It's great to see the diversity and I can't wait to see more of it! Senri's passion, competence and humility is inspiring. lots of love

I don't play drums but watching vids like this occasionally allow me to appreciate what I see and hear when watching a good jazz session (or whatever) to a bit higher level. Very cool, thx. Your energy and accuracy when you play just blow me away.

Thank you Senri! With so many losses in the musical world this year, and all of the sad events going on in the world this year in general, I appreciate you sharing your talent and hard work with the world and giving us a reason to smile! Stay healthy!

She effortlessly projects a Big percussion sound with speed and agility. Marvelous!

You are such a super drummer i watch your videos every day you are born with a special gift from God. My brother is a drummer in Osaka for the last 40 years i always tell him that you are such a great drummer God's blessings always be with you 🙏

And most of her communication is in Japanese, so she's more realistic than humble. Maybe she's underestimating the number of people who've heard of her, because her Zildjian vault video has 500K views, but the number of views on her own channel are way below that, so it's indeed reasonable for her to introduce herself assuming that many people will see her for the first time.

She still very very rarely makes it to people's greatest drummer lists even though she's definitely up there. Japanese fusion jazz is just a bit obscure as a genre for westerners so not many people have heard her playing apart from the people who purposely seek drumming videos on KZread.

The dichotomy of her demeanor on and off the drums is amazing. So pleasant then such a beast.

That double-bass pattern is the beginning of "Hot For Teacher". It sounds EXACTLY like it. When she was playing it really slow, it reminded me of when I was trying to learn how to play it by playing the LP and spinning the record by hand so I could hear all the notes. She's nailing it! Man, I have to practice more!

Amazing Video! Very talented! Thoroughly enjoyed watching!

Great licks! Thank you very much. This gave me a lot of ideas. And what a powerful drummer!

I love when she does the Toms swipe, that Tom’s sounds amazing 🤩

I love how I found her in high school, she inspired me to get better, then I enlisted in the army and lost all my chops, and here I am again in quarantine drumming again because of her.

Senri sensei is an amazing drummer, very inspirational to watch.

Playing drums since she was five. She's 23 in this video, so that's 18 years of playing. Senri's first DVD came out in 2009, when she was twelve and she start gigging soon after. Her first solo CD was released on her 16th birthday. She's young, yes - and look even younger than her years - but her understanding of the kit is at a whole different level. These are her four favorite licks, folks. That means she probably plays them without much conscious effort. Her ability is almost frightening.

"It will be the World's loss if she does not become famous worldwide." And it is so cool that the net allows superb talents like hers to be enjoyed by all, rather than filtered by a few greedy idiots who know absolutely nothing about music (or most anything else). When you look at the incredible number of absolute best seller books and authors that were turned down time and time again before they were accepted (most of them), and how many were accepted that were utter garbage, it becomes pretty obvious that that 'filter' itself is utter and total crap, like much of society, frankly. I suspect some of the most extreme talent in the world has been suppressed by idiots. Actually I can pretty much can guarantee that true with the data I've seen. Parasitic ankle biters are a group that are beyond useless, and usually the ones that take most of the profit, all the while harming the outcomes. Not always, but often.

Tbh I don't come to this channel to learn, I just come to enjoy the level some people are at!

When I saw her playing some years ago I was deeply impressed. Now I think this is her sense of humor to think that someone like me could proceed this ;-) Great to see her enthusiasm and fun by this.

I love how she puts her cymbals where she has to be at full extension to play. The way she like holds her body seems like she started playing yesterday but she is also so insanely good so it’s hilarious

I love how she crescendos the 6 notes on the snare in the first lick.
