  • he's demonstrating 4 wat independance i think. listen to the jam block throught. its playing the smae thing while he's doing all that with his hands. its not easy. but no not very musical

  • hmm.. it might be hard to play the stuff he does here.. but I would not want to anyway!...

    Sorry.. this is just not grooving one bit to my ears!?.. am I the only one thinking this way?.. It sounds like he's just hitting everything i random order.. might be advanced stuff.. but musical.. hmm.. not to my ears..

    This is not meant in a bad way.. i just don't get this kind of drumming.. no disrespect intended!

see all

  • @cyberspace123 he said in another video that he keeps the cymbal high above the kit because it looks good...and the extra excersize keeps him skinny

  • some people just forget that only straight grooving is a pretty boring thing for drummer at this level.

    Furthermore some things wont be musical for your ears if you dont understand them.

  • Funny how people are claiming it not to be musical while it's extremely groovy. Latin clave all over the place.

  • wonder why his cympals is so high above the drum kit - playing drums should not be a stretching excersise

  • @henrikrathje Me neither.... 

  • hahaha virgil donati....

  • I can't really see the meaning of all the complaining, I mean.. Sure I understand if people who don't understand drumming cannot comprehend this. But honestly, his style is quite unique compared to all the amazing virtuosos from the western world. His technique is off the roof. I personally found this clip extremely interesting and entertaining.

  • @heinzie5 watch a video of the band Toe or Mouse on the Keys, and you will change your mind about Japanese drummers

  • well no one else has style like akira jimbo!!! he's very very one of a kind.which is very good but of course not everyone can understand his style! still if not for his uniqueness he would not be the akira jimbo he is know as today!

  • i agree not musical at all, in fact i find this extreamely annoying ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
