@sailorpsycho Neil Pearl holds a great technique but I don't like his style...Nicko is one of the most overrated drummer ever...the ones I mentioned are years ahead...
Just to let you guys know of Munetaka's sense of humor.. I saw them live for the third time in 2006 (Fayetteville, NC) he began playing Grand Funk's "We're An American Band" drum solo intro.. and I laughed also I think I was the only one who got the joke.
Higuchi Munetaka, thank you for inspiring me, cause of you n LOUDNESS iam a huge fans of heavy metal and become musician myself....my brother we all will miss you n will see you there on the other side of life....may god will be with you...R.I.P....Your true fan...
As far as metal drummers go, he was one of the few that actually had skill. Sadly age, and health + emotional problems took a beating on him from around 2002 onwards which effected his performances quite a bit, but he always stayed a true drummer, none of this shit double pedal nonsense that destroys the purpose of the drummer in music!
Just curious: how come no one compares him with X-Japan's Yoshiki? Not that I prefer either, but just surprised that no one talks about Yoshiki here. I think both are good, just different.
What happen to Munetaka?? was it a health issue? We are all losing talented musicians all the time! God Speed to Metal Heaven..That's where I'm heading when my time has come... Thanks for the post nuh27879
I just found out! Munetaka, you were such an amazing drummer and always a source of inspiration. One of the best metal drummers ever. You will be sorely missed, and never forgotten! :-(
Youtube freaked out and quit playing videos so if this comment appears twice I apologise. It is unfortunate this this amazing drummer has passed on. However; He will live on in the music he has written, the bandmates, family, and friends that hold him dear.... The fans certainly will not forget this amazing drummer for a long time to come. On behalf of all American Loudness fans, I send my deepest sympathy to the band, and family of Munetaka Higuchi.
All LOUDNESS fans & those whom knew his work & influence him will dearly missed Higuchi Munetaka. A true finest Japanese HR/HM drummer! His legacy will remain with us forever! R.I.P Higuchi Munetaka. Our support & loyalty to LOUDNESS is. . .FOREVER! m(_ _)m
Rest in Peace brother.. You were one of my all time Fave Drummers.. Now I wish I had walked up and shook your hand at Earthshaker festival when I had the chance..

いい意味での、どや顔的ドラミング。どや?楽しめたか?といつも聞いてくる様なドラミング。ごっついやろ?俺のドラム?満足できるやろ?と、聞くものの満足まで考えて鍛え抜いて作り出した音。なんだろなぁ、そんな感じがします。あんぱんがんばれ〜!

すごい迫力です。さすがラウドネス!
この頃から樋口師匠の肝臓は病んでいたでしょう。
ストーンアヘッドのドラムスティックってかなり重いから体は相当疲れていたはずなのに
このパワーで叩いていたと思うとラウドを本当に愛していたのが伝わってきます。
