Yeah, 1998 was the last year he wrote the drum book for UTC. I was a senior in high school at the time, but my brother was in the UTC band and I used to come and hang out with the drumline. I remember hanging with them at a couple of early rehearsals, and they were kind of annoyed because Naoki wrote a crazy insane book, and then he went to Japan for the summer and fall, leaving them to try to figure it out on their own.

I remember him... didn't he write the book for UTC in 1998. I marched at ETSU and we actually traveled out there for that game.

Really unusual "cadence" to this guy's playing; almost like an accent, but expressed through a drum, instead of with the voice. (Cadence, in this instance, isn't referring to a street beat). It's cool, though. It really takes you by surprise, and by the end of the solo you find yourself not noticing it. Kinda helps that he's a true bad-ass, too.

6 stars.

Yeah, he helped out with our high school drumline for a couple months when he was @ utc. Not only a great drummer but a nice guy. Even better in person. If you search blast (and blast japan), you'll find more clips. There's also a few of him playing with an orchestra, and a couple more solos. Some are hard to find cause the titles weren't in english.

Naoki Ishikawa actually went to UTC and currently tours in Japan for blast

If interested in Ishikawa, he made a special appearance and performed drums in the 2005/6 Japanese theater performance of "Endless Shock". He was fantastic! Best performance in the whole show!
