Senri Kawaguchi: Astonishing Japanese Drummer

Such a very, very talented drummer but there's plenty of equally capable - and better - pro drummers out there (not me, obvs, she's miles better than me).

What matters is what the drummers contribute to a band and the song and not endless solos.

She can do that too, she's funky as hell. Could be a little more modest, but that must be difficult for someone so talented. Check out the bass player too.

I'm not really interested in musicianship for the sake of musicianship - and the original Average White Band version absolutely blows away this version for groove, heart and soul.

Oooh no no no. No. Maybe the tempo's a bit fast, but no-one has more funk than this lot. Juna Serita, the bass player is literally funk personified:

 
I suppose was inevitable that Juna would cover this, but she doesn't disappoint at all. Super-funky female Asian rhythm sections are the new thing of 2024:

You’re meant to be able to dance to funk. If you can’t dance to it, it’s not funk. If you think this is funk, you don’t know how to dance.
 
This fella was flipping sticks and bashin buckets, with so much attack, before Senri was even a tadpole. Imagine what he could do with a proper drumkit. I can't believe the stamina in someone so svelte.



209M views. Legend. Best drummer of any genre, any species, on any planet :bigeyes:

That's you isn't it?

Of course I can't dance, I'm a straight white man. Doesn't mean I can't dig syncopation.

Tell you what, you post anything funkier and I'll post a clip of me dancing to it.
 
Here’s Tyler Baker at 13 years old.





He’s just won this year’s Young Drummer of the Year at 15 years old.





Here he is doing an Aphex Twin cover

Brilliant.

You’ve already demonstrated that you don’t know the funk, don’t got the funk, so it would be pointless to post the funk for you.

Is this a drummer thread or a funk thread?

A drunk thread. And you are devoid o'funk.
 
Americans still often use "funky" in the original sense of "smelly," as in "my funky-ass sneakers."

In Rio they have music called "funkee." It's not funky at all.

It's a strange word, when you think about it
 
What’s gender got to do with it? I’m not sure why it was something to mention.

That Nicola Benedetti is a very good lady violin player and is even better than most men.

Said nobody in 2023.
I find it interesting that you fail to mention any trans drummers. Is there anything you want to tell us?
