Having listened to the original cream recording , It dawned on me that the riff, essentially a relatively pedestrian blues, only comes alive with Gingers out of step drum pattern, and the way he breaks out to use orthodox fills, and then seamlessy slots back into the out of step groove. 4/4 , boom, chack, boom boom chack misses the for me. As a guitar player, I'm sure there are drummers out in the big wide, that can explain this better than me. Check out Gingers input on the original disc.

I think the whole triggering thing is dorky. I wish he would just focus on playing the drums and hire a god damn guitar player if he wants to play this song
For all the comments comparing Akira to the original and the other covers, You have to give it up to him. ALL of what you hear is played by one man, live in one take!! Imagine him playing the original format with an entire band?
It's not that this guy is a bad drummer, but i REALLY don't like his cover. It's fun to play this song. A friend of mine and I we just jam on it. I mostly the the eight notes on my floortom, and jam on the rest of my kit. For some ( I think great ) drums on this song you should look for Eric Clapton in 1986, with Phil Collins on drums. But hé, this guy is still a good drummer
i was'nt talking about the drum part that's cool, everything else sounds terrible the weird keyboard synthesizer pop sound was horrible, this is a rock song created by one of the heaviest bands in history, this asian fag made it sound pop

this fucking nipper is a joke. he cant play the song, me made up a stupid fucking version he thinks is cool. In the real song the snare is barely used, this stupid nipper just thinks he is the shit because he made up the worst drum solo/intro to this clip and plays really fast. THANKS FOR DESTROYING A GREAT SONG WITH YOUR SHITTY MAKE UP!
I think you're talking absolute shit. Drummers get called more than almost anyone else in my experience, because they're 'back line' instrumentalists. A good guitarist or pianist or whatever is the 'front man' of the band, and therefore the band is 'theirs'. They book whichever drummer they feel makes them sound best.
You're talking out of your ass, drummers a probably the most important part of a band. I myself am one, and I'm usually first picked for musicals and whenever there's a musical event at school, not to mention many of my friends have asked me to be drummer in their bands.
Dude, you're spot on. I'm a guitar player and in a band situation a great drummer makes me a better guitar player. The smartest thing I ever did after playing guitar for fourteen years was to take a years worth of private drum lessons just so I could understand music better. I even went so far to join a working band as a drummer for six months. You will not find a guitar player who appreciates what a drummer brings to a band more than me. Give me a good drummer and I'll be fine! Keep on rockin'
and you´re also a childish idiot without any knowledge my teenie fellow, first learn how to clean your ass and then maybe you´ll become a multi-instrumentist, but now you´re just a pretencious wannabe.
I clean my arse just fine at this point in my life, sir. And whether you like it or not, I am a multi-instrumentalist and I play bass, drums, piano and violin. Not to mention, sir, my teeny arse happens to be taller (Much , much taller than you.) and have a better knowledge in vocabulary than you do. So, I suggest you stop trolling youtube from an iCafe and get a job, or just kill yourself.
I have to add - Ginger Baker was the "star" drummer. I saw Ginger Baker and Buddy Rich duel it out in Central Park, New York City. Best show of drumming I have ever seen. Keith Moon doesn't stack up to either of them.
Also, I'm sorry but this Akira Jimbo is just OKAY. He doesn't come close to the artistry and syncopation that Ginger Baker had on "Sunshine of your Love" with Cream. Those three artists came together at a critical time in rock history.
5 years ago, my parents were out on a date. i was alone. a man rang my bell and forced his way in and stabbed me to death. he also shot me and decapitated me. if you dont copy and paste this to 5 music videos, ill come back at midnight and mutilate you the same way i was mutilated.
Whats Keith Moon got to do with Akira Jimbo?? Keith Moon could very rarely keep a drum fill right never mind a rudiment! and I guarantee he would not be a match or even close to Akira!
Hey, watch whatr you say! I happen to agree that Akira Jimbo would destory Keith Moon everyday of the week, but Keith Moon could definetely do fills right and (like every drummer who plays seriously) many of his fills are backed by rudiments. Moon's mike set-up was just no where near as good as the super-miked set Akira's playing. And Ketih Moon has everything to do with Akira Jimbo. Without Keith redefining the role of a drummer, Akira would be playing a rock beat on a four-piece set.
Actually Ginger Baker did more for rock drumming than Keith Moon. Moon just ripped him off. The evolution of rock drumming would have developed just fine without him.
First, the reply had absolutely nothing to do with Ginger Baker, it was comparing Kaith Moon to Akira Jimbo. Second, Moon didn't rip anything off Ginger Baker because their styles are absolutely nothing alike (truth be told Baker would kick Moon into the street everyday of the week). But, and this is pretty clear in my comment which you took out of context, Keith Moon did change how the drummer participates in the band. Sure Ginger outplayed Keith, but the flare isn't even in the same world.
Well, the idea of superstar drummers began in thw Swing Era with Gene Krupa and grew to include such greats as Buddy Rich and Max Roach. Drummers have never been bigger, there were sold out shows where drummers would walk on and play for an hour or two without accompaniment. This didn't continue into the Rock Era as greats Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts basically just kept time. Keith Moon,followed by others, with his fast, cocky, and loud playing brought drummers back into the foreground.
But that's what I was saying. Ginger Baker was doing that well before Keith Moon. Toad (Ginger's durm solo) was a fan favourite at cream shows. Keith Moon didn't start playing this way until after he listened to Ginger's playing.
Not true, Keith Moon had always been persistently pushy with his playing, he wasn't influenced to go into the foreground by Ginger Baker. If anybody he was influenced by the octapolus fills of the legendary Hal Blaine who dominated the same genre that The Who's early songs fall into.
That's just because he was stoned all the time. The point is there were drummers doing a better job of what you claim Keith Moon started before he even came along. I don't see him started anything, except maybe a new way to overdose.
Its harder to see with a knowledge of the rock era, but ask the average person who the drummer is for Cream or the Stones and they'll probably give you a blank stare. They are, however, more likely to associate Keith Moon with The Who because he led the rock drumming revolution (again, they weren't better than other drummers, but they were far more avant-garde). Also, many drummers, including soft players like Ringo and Dennis Wilson were always stoned, it didn't make their playing obnoxious.
Just because the average asshole knows who he his doens't mean he influed drumming. All that means is he influenced average assholes. More drummers who followed this generation would site Ginger Baker as an influence.
have to agree ....ginger's use of african rhythm s and blues and jazz nuances in what was ostensibly a blues rock band was way cool ...speaking of blank stares ask a drummer what was unique about moon's style or technique ...he didn't push out any envelopes ......leading the rock drumming revolution.... that made me bust out laughing ...no, that was just him running for the crapper
Keith Moon was actually very important to rock drumming. My Generation, Anyway, Anywhere, Anyhow and The Kid Are Alright are all classic rock drum tracks. He was a a volcanic drummer for that time. In 1965 when The Who broke out most rock drummers were fairly conventional in their style and approach. Keith Moon may not have had tons of schooled technique but his playing was over the top and defined a type of rock drumming. Ginger was great too and a revolutionary of rock drumming too.
Yeah, he was here at Venezuela with the Clinic last friday and he was sweeet he gave tips and awnsered questions. I love him, the pads and the master computer is incredible, I never knew you could make those melodies with the drum set... Well, He definitively rocks and I talked Japanese with him!XD so exited, very good.. hope to see him again soon.
He was at drummer live last year. He was immense. He played this, mission impossible theme and james bond. Along wit stanton moore i thought he was the best there.
Watched this gut play this last night at a clinic and its fantastic to watch live. I dont know any other drummer who plays the actual music along with the drum beat. THIS IS NOT A BACKING TRACK!!! he plays it all himself and along with all that hes a genuine nice bloke!!! And just short of 50 years old! Gotta admire him.
I enjoyed watching it. It really is funny that no matter what , people will find fault with anything. Someone could be really good but NO someone will find something bad to say . Never fails :) This guy rocks !!!!!
How can you dare to discuss if he's wrong or fine?... who cares what snare the original one has? listen this new and perfectly executed amazing version!! In music, if sounds good, it's good!!
Great drummer but the douche bag needs to stick to Britney Spears and not ruin great music. WTF was this FOB thinking???

I think some people don't understand he plays all instruments of this song with the pick-ups on his drums.
it's wrong to compare his play with Ginger Baker's.
This "one-man performance" is only a circus or an acrobat's stunt, so you might as well be impressed without silly protest.

Not true, Keith Moon had always been persistently pushy with his playing, he wasn't influenced to go into the foreground by Ginger Baker. If anybody he was influenced by the octapolus fills of the legendary Hal Blaine who dominated the same genre that The Who's early songs fall into.

That's just because he was stoned all the time. The point is there were drummers doing a better job of what you claim Keith Moon started before he even came along. I don't see him started anything, except maybe a new way to overdose.

Its harder to see with a knowledge of the rock era, but ask the average person who the drummer is for Cream or the Stones and they'll probably give you a blank stare. They are, however, more likely to associate Keith Moon with The Who because he led the rock drumming revolution (again, they weren't better than other drummers, but they were far more avant-garde). Also, many drummers, including soft players like Ringo and Dennis Wilson were always stoned, it didn't make their playing obnoxious.

Just because the average asshole knows who he his doens't mean he influed drumming. All that means is he influenced average assholes. More drummers who followed this generation would site Ginger Baker as an influence.

have to agree ....ginger's use of african rhythm s and blues and jazz nuances in what was ostensibly a blues rock band was way cool ...speaking of blank stares ask a drummer what was unique about moon's style or technique ...he didn't push out any envelopes ......leading the rock drumming revolution.... that made me bust out laughing ...no, that was just him running for the crapper

Keith Moon was actually very important to rock drumming. My Generation, Anyway, Anywhere, Anyhow and The Kid Are Alright are all classic rock drum tracks. He was a a volcanic drummer for that time. In 1965 when The Who broke out most rock drummers were fairly conventional in their style and approach. Keith Moon may not have had tons of schooled technique but his playing was over the top and defined a type of rock drumming. Ginger was great too and a revolutionary of rock drumming too.

Yeah, he was here at Venezuela with the Clinic last friday and he was sweeet he gave tips and awnsered questions. I love him, the pads and the master computer is incredible, I never knew you could make those melodies with the drum set... Well, He definitively rocks and I talked Japanese with him!XD so exited, very good.. hope to see him again soon.

Watched this gut play this last night at a clinic and its fantastic to watch live. I dont know any other drummer who plays the actual music along with the drum beat. THIS IS NOT A BACKING TRACK!!! he plays it all himself and along with all that hes a genuine nice bloke!!! And just short of 50 years old! Gotta admire him.

Ever see what this maniac does with his feet? Plays one pedal with his toes, another with his heel. On BOTH feet, I think.
