[chelopatrick]

ESTO ES UN DVD? COMO SE LLAMA?? GRACIAS.

[anggadrums]

I like it!!!

[jweber000]

LOL @ 4:19 - what a asshole

[piterzito]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dodyhw]

my favorit...Well done.!. he is a best drummer I have ever seen..!

[josealexanderfrost]

WTF!!!

[ddrums001]

His independence rivals that of Terry Bozzio!! And he turned his drums into a synthesizer! He's freakin amazing!

[MadEagleUSA]

Absolutely Amazing Performance !!! Thanks : )>

[isaacmurillo21]

What the hell just happened?

[konarider]

Red shoes FTW Akira is awesome

[olcaldrew]

great drummer

[ThePutasfever]

This guy is a hybrid between Dave Weckl and Horacio Fernandez.

[unmeinodenai]

@ThePutasfever Horácio Hernandez

[JoeTheDrumguy]

simply astounding, this guy has total independence, and at 5:40 whehe's playing the 6/8 nanigo with his left hand... killer

[norranun]

I think Jimbo is better than Mike Portnoy !

Seriously .....

[ThePutasfever]

@norranun hello dude ;)

it's quite inadequate to compare an Aston Martin with the Land Rover if u get what i mean. Both are great but yeah, u need more skill to drive an "Akira Martin" :P

[voidstuff]

@norranun much better

[blayzzzz]

That was amazing.

[emercito]

as powerful as Dave Weckl in every drums skills

[mizrrain666]

 akasoe bot?

[AAI6718]

That was nuts! Total limb independence, groove, dynamics, timing, chops, and whatever else. When Yamaha came out with the Akira Jimbo signature snare, I was like who is he and why does he deserve a signature snare. This recording pretty much sums it up.

[btsdrummer1]

Good God..........when you are this good what is left for you to accomplish?

[FoolOfTheWeek]

alien wear for a alien drummer.

Most drummers impress by their pure technic but he impresses by the music and u dont even need to notice his incredible technic....ill totaly give up drumming

[stylerprofyler]

thumbs up if it took you more than half of the video to notice whatever the hell he's wearing.

[jonatasgsouza]

amazing

[johnerickvs]

Masterpiece!

[TheEzeroh1]

wake up akira... it was all a bad dream. Amazing, best drum performance I've ever seen.

[TheEzeroh1]

holy crap i need to wake up

[ddanze]

the word "awesome" is appropriate here!

[kimmin1208]

No matter how good you think you are at something, there's an always a damn Asian who is better than you.

[zaibot0099]

@kimmin1208 Lol he was better than anyone since they've been born.

[Suprematista]

Japanese people, as always...

O_o!!

[yahyalilli]

akira jimbo=1000 dave weckl...for all fanatics of dave...akira is one of the best on the universe.

[Moog168]

5:42.....Hardest groove ever

[Limeaway]

Man, Akira Jimbo is one of my favorite drummers ever, but what is up with his outfit LOL

[Janununuh]

4:21 BAM!

[jesseenriquez]

id give up a nut to be this good... AJ is my fave drummer

[naikanomtom]

Godly.....so....godly. Jazz fusion of this magnitude, I feel, will never be widely appreciated here in the states, and lots of times, most of these gifted people find fulfillment with session jobs, but the fact that they are so underrated and unnoticed by many of us is plain as day. I wish I could be rich, and televise my own Jazz fusion festival as a national broadcast and show off people like Jimbo or T-Square or Marcus Miller, etc., then people would be blown away....

[rodrig0sur]

@naikanomtom THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK.

AT THE END, THE GOOD MUSIC WILL WIN AGAINST COMMERCIAL, FAKE, COMPUTER MADE MUSIC

[rodrig0sur]

@naikanomtom EXACTLY

[tow4dough]

he's a master of the quarter note pulse.

[tow4dough]

all hail the quarter note pulse! he's a master at it...

[symos141731]

Lovin the ruby slippers

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

superhero shoes!!!

[cristianokali]

el señorrr lo perdoneee es imprsionanteeeeeeeeee como puede acer todo esoooo ke clase de bases i tunbao son esoss dios mioo

[MindstormRecs]

People have the nerve to say Danny Carey is the best drummer ever, Danny Carey eat your fucking heart out dude :)

[trevtmk]

this is so fucking sick!!!

[beanabadger]

0:43 - it looks like he's wearing wellies!

[DropMasta]

Chapeau!

[stringriffer00]

the master of independence \m/

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

i almos think the film Akira was named after him.

he used to play in a band with Tetsuo sakurai since 1979, the film Akira's main character was named Tetsuo.... it is still to this day one of the most famous English Japan anime cartoon films. i believe it was released in 1988

[Str8Faced]

hands down one of the best drummers ever. Insanity man!

[IamUke]

This guy is a freaking beast. Amazing. I want to have his and Neal Peart's baby.

[Deathmest]

i would so wear rhose shoes if i had a pair

[lucho159753]

yoshiki is the best

[madgameman1]

Once Musician, One Instrument, Akira Jimbo

[mtbrogue88]

Didnt you all know that actually he only has 1 leg... his right. The left leg is programmable and motorized! LOL

[skater15153]

ridiculous independence....

[Drumlegends]

Great Shoes :D

[jimbox666]

a little bit of steve gadd in his opening snare solo???

[XylussN]

@jimbox666 Steve Gad is his Favorite drummer

[SilentBombr]

@jimbox666 Yeah he is a big fan of Steve Gadd

[estebanskater123]

Just, the greatest!!!

[godlydrmr]

Love his drumming, I'm so envious of his independence...but what the hell is he wearing?

[portnoyfan06]

Akira is for sure one of the most creative and fundamentally sound drummers I've ever seen/heard

[lilvicfirth]

Great music...but what the HELL is he wearing!!!

[iplaywithnoshoes]

His kit sounds amazing.

[drumerrboi77]

i love his tights.

[musicfude83]

All hail the master

[madgameman1]

Did I just see red leather pants & shoes!?!? Must be an asian style............

[sogandik]

got to love those red shoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

[elrojomuerto6x]

i friking love akira jimbo, who woud of thunk it, that a Japanese drummer, has one of the sweetest latin flavours around.. its incredible..

[jon6132]

very diferent, but good diferent, hes a great drummer, songwritter, musician, im definetly a fan.

[hotdrumchick]

Does he have a CD out, anyone know?!?

[Moog167]

He has CD's out with a band he played for called "Casiopea" but they're only released in Japan

He has 6 Videos out in the U.S. though

[domdom87]

@hotdrumchick he's got a lot of solo albums. he's also the drummer for the japanese band called casiopea.

he's worked with brian bromberg under the name jb project.

and u shud also check out synchronized dna, a drum duo group with him and t-square's hiroyuki noritake

[alexkanaya]

its not stereo audio

[stiktrik]

see the url @ more info

[jumpinjojo]

He makes Weckl look like Ringo!!

[juanbarros88]

I think he's great, absolute master but I dont think he's a great song writer, its hard for drummers to make good songs like Chick Corea or...

[thegrinreaper]

hahahahahah....

[Guppusmaximus]

Not only an absolute master of the drums but a brilliant song writer & an inventor?!. Honestly, everyone who loves to drum should keep learning and practicing but don't fool yourselves...This guy is in a class all his own! Pure Genius!

[YOUIHATE420]

people with high goals attract others with the same -fukin amazing

[billpeart]

he is a master of masters!!! totally amazing independence and execution.

[overcontrol]

the best not dude

[TonyBtheEG]

not from this Galaxy. Incredible.

[JCEyouthgroup]

its " The asian Beast '' !!!!!!!!!!

[bastardo5648672]

CHINO KULIAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Branman1994]

now thats 4 way independence

[HydraulicSandwich]

that left foot clave pattern= flawess

[washington1]

wow

[larry12345]

even using the shell of the drum to play @.@ now thats the first time ive seen someone to do that. akira jimbo jsut surprises me everytime no matter how many times ive seen him play

[daviethedrummer]

The idea of playing the shell of a drum actually predates the drum kit. It's a technique used in afro cuban music to play what's called the "cascara" pattern. I respect Jimbo not just because he draws on this music for inspiration but because he actually pulls it off with authenticity. :)

[death4devil]

very cool thanks for posting

[NicholasJamesWells]

What triggers does he use to be able to play his toms with normal sound, and play on the tom rims with the triggered sound?

[stiktrik]

YAMAHA trigger (DT-10, DT20, or DT-30[discontinued]) with YAMAHA sound module, watch the Akira explain this on Behind the D.S. '92 from my channel too...

[lifeslittleoutcast]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus

[davidmonc]

one of the best drummers of our world( and maybe ohters too)....

[drumsonly2002]

Akira RULES! He did a clinic in Halifax N.S. Canada and I did not get a chance to thank him, thus thanking him here, thanks Akira, fantastic drumming, well appreciated!

[Branman1994]

holy crap

[ElCondeChocula]

Funny shoes / Zapatos graciosos

[Moog167]

The shoes match though....hence making it cool......

[juanbarros88]

no!!!!!! I can do it, I can't quit now....If I cant play like that, I'll have to commit suicide, Im pretty scared now

[chrisbahen]

Calm down man, an instrument takes a while to learn but a lifetime to truly master, you have many years ahead of you to work your way there. You can do it! Time and dedication.

[trikstik]

juanbarros88 just kidding, it's a joke Chris ...

Don't be seriously :)

[bassmanners]

wow  :O ....speechless

[pancurawis]

Wooa... Akira you the man ! Awesome play !
