I taught this little girl in the early 2000s at Kozo Suganuma’s Drum School in Yokohama Japan.I was a guest instructor for Kozo and I used to teach at his School for a month or so of each year She was about eight or nine back then and she used to take lessons in a class setting with a group of much older students; teenagers young adults etc. She always showed up with her mom who would sit in the corner like a typical Japanese mother and just watch her daughter take drum lessons! She used to take lessons from me once or twice a week!and she was so serious and focused even back then but she was a nice little girl very respectful extremely cute and a very focused, very quiet, she didn’t talk much but she was very appreciative of the lessons. I remember I was showing her a lot of the FRED GRUBER stuff which I taught everybody in JAPAN back then and she took to it like a duck to water! serious student! she was actually better and learned her lessons better than her older classmates! As I recall!

that first hit....you know she meant business. 👍🏼👍🏽

I recently played a show with Senri. She is an absolute gem of a human and true talent :-)

Well for once such a comment comes from a real musician and not some kid with 10 subs. It's refreshing.

Every time I watch one of her videos I just get completely blown away on how incredible she is. She's so fluid she's so on point. Just one absolutely amazing drummer.

Ladies and Gentlemen, one of the best drummers in history.

Senri isn't just about speed although she's incredibly fast. she has great control over tempo and is fluid. she also has perfect posture which is so so important. Yoyoka has the same sort of instruction I have noticed. Her posture as well is correct. It seems like the up and coming Japanese drummers really focused on great foundations. So critical!!! Everything starts there. Posture first then kit placement. These girl's know this.

she is like a female version of akira jimbo.. similar styles

ive been an "old school " drummer for over 30 years now but i can`t do that ,.... even if my life depended on it pleasure to watch ,... thank you

I love the fact that a lot of this solo is groove based! She put plenty of chops in there, but there’s always a backbone of a groove, which keeps my head bobbin!!

Senri is a beast, she does it all. Been following her for years now.

That's the best part is seeing her in those moments where she is in pure bliss.

Listening to her play give me goose bumps! She is an amazing drummer.

She's so legit. I kinda got sick of average female Drummers getting more attention because they were female and not really a great player. But senri is the real deal. And now as she's aging she's developing deep dynamics and groove. She has earned her place as one of the upcoming world's greats, not because she's female but because she kicks ass.

I've seen some other "female drummers" on YT (they're just drummers, I don't see people saying "female violinist/pianist" but ok) and most of the times they're just wearing jeans and tank tops. None of them was dressed "sexily", but even if they were, that wouldn't affect their ability to play, if they are actually good musicians. Apart from this, its someone's (mostly guys) fault if they choose what to listen to based on how the performer is dressed. Lastly, Senri is an awesome drummer, there's no need to "validate" her by putting other, mostly imaginary, sexy drummers down to prove that.

thing i like about senri is that she is very tonal in her drumming. her solos are very musical.

I love drum enthusiasts. I'll be the first person to tell you that I know nothing about the technical aspect of her drumming but most of the comments are filled with really passionate drummers. They don't care she's a female they are just pointing out why she's talented ect. Very cool.

Man., I wished I had known she was in Norwell, thats less than one hour from me. One om my biggest dreams is to meet Senri ! Hope she made an impression

めっちゃ手数多いのに一つ一つの音が綺麗で、抑揚も滑らかで 本当に美しい 今までドラムソロなんて退屈だって思ってたけど、ここまでレベル高いと何回も聴きたくなる

Senri is amazing behind the drums! She's so fast!

I'm so happy Zildjian chose Senri as their first musician to perform in the factory. She is one of the best musicians of all time and is still a bit obscure at this moment. It is only a matter of time until she becomes a household name

Ferocious and nuanced with beautiful dynamic contrast. Wonderful Senri. Thank you for an excellent post!

If you can't groove to this then something is seriously wrong. This young lady is definitely the real deal👍👍👍👍💥💥💥

That smile of pure joy! Awesome!

Love her style and the sound of the drumset is just perfect.

The mix and the tuning... PERFECTION!!! Her playing is AMAZING!

Wow phenomenal sound and talent

Spectacular performance!

inspirational as always!

Astonishing! Smooth, fluid, dexterous - light speed hands and feet! Love it when she smiles!

Her skills are getting crazier day by day 😱😱

Real Deal super world class drummer her playing is insane! very polite sweet young lady..she is awesome!

Wow, she is amazing. And that snare sounds fantastic.

I've been watch Senri for years. I watched her grow as a drummer. She just keeps improving when I keep thinking she has peaked...What a talent!!

She's simply amazing!

The factory tour looks fun. You can see the attachment when you look at the manufacturing process.

Just fabulous. Go girl! 🖤✨

I didn't think that sort of speed, precision and groove was possible. Not all at the same time anyway. Such feel, and at light speed. Enraptured.

Simply awesome love it!

Incredibly incredible, can't find anymore words to say it.

I randomly came across this but holy shit she just did the drum solo of life dude.

She floors me every time I see a new video!

what a snare sound!!!!! you're so amazing, well done

Never know how good you are at something until you try, this is a good example. Keep up the good work

It's a pleasure to watch

What an amazing drummer

That was friggen incredible.. 💕💕💕

Her dynamics are way better in 2018 comparing to the 2017 videos in youtube, amazing evolution

Tiny, unassuming, and an all-out beast!

Mindblowing, as usual !

So tough! Awesome!

Wow! Great touch - really impressive!

That drum set, dude, it sounded just perfect...

OOOOOOOOOhhhhhh. Yeah Looks like you are having so much fun!!! Thank you Senri. and Zildjiian. SWEET

WOW! This is one of the few videos where I've heard the drums with GOOD microphone setup - where you can hear EVERY and ALL of the drum set. The only other performance I recall being recorded so well was a live Chicago concert on DVD where not only the drums but every instrument came through clearly. Of course I can see where Zildjian has to get the recording right to show off their product! The cymbals came through so clearly, especially with headphones! Lastly, it's a tribute to the talent of Senri to be invited, I hope she had a fun time after the performance checking out Massachusetts.

Simply amazing!...

just amazing music

kickin ass and that kit sounds great!

She is so Extreme i don't even bother going, on youtube to visit any other Legend Drummer's co'z this Girl is the Icon star from Japan. This & with her bowing with manner's, it is just the best thing i have ever seen, even i for get to do that after playing a Drum Solo in the street but i do say Thank's have a nice day while Singing on Drum's. I also like how she never flip's or spinning the Drum Stick, like a Heavy metal Drummer, i kind of get sick of that kind of thing to much, from Drummer's i never spin stick's ether, it's because i play in Church a lot & i get no joy out of it. As Long at Senri Kawaguchi Keep's doing her gift's like this she will have me smiling every Drumming Video on Earth.

okay... well OK new favorite drum video ! damn

Was introduced to Senri about a year & half ago, by another fellow drummer at a gig we were playing at in Detroit. She has such an incredibly high level drumming IQ! That in my opinion, puts here clearly amongst the best out there! Incredible Drummer!

Extraordinary :-) .

Just makes me feel old been watching her videos since the K-ON covers.

Amazing!!!!

All i can say is Marvelous Drumming nothing else more to say :-) .

I've watched this about 10 times. I'm a bass player that plays drums a little. Her solo is so musical to me and never boring. That mostly concrete room must have been a blast to play in.

I love it!

Senriiii !! It’s been Long time. Did she have her own channel in KZread? Glad to see Senri comeback! Wow

Mom this is heaven = yamaha drums + zildjian cymbal + senri playing
