#junna #Reaction #DrumRollTonyReacts
I think my favorite thing about JUNNA covering this is that the actual drummer from Dragonforce reacted to it and he absolutely loved it. Just had a smile on his face the whole time.
"Look da way... LOOK DA WAY!!" He was so into it like a proud pappa.
Yeah i seen it - but it would be even better to see reaction of oryginal drummer for this song as well
The part where he air drums along with her is great
@@R2robot Where can I see that video?
Gee had total proud Dad energy
6:33 Is an homage to the official video. Guitarist Sam picks up a beer while Herman is playing his part of the solo, so many people miss that
The only reacts that have picked up on it, that I've seen, have been OldSkuleNerd and David Heretic. 🤘
Not Sam it is ZP Theart the former lead singer, Sam Totman is the rhythm guitarist.
Aside from all the obvious reasons to love Junna, from her talents to her showmanship and everything in between, is her perfect utilization of cymbals and not even an ounce of overplaying them. Which is vital in a song such as this one, imo. Great reaction!!
Some background on Junna. With the help and encouragement of her father, she started playing drums in 2011 at age 15. By the next year she was winning drum competitions. The earliest video of her on her RUclips channel is her winning a 2016 drum competition. In 2012, around her 17th birthday, she became part of an all-girl band called Girls Rock Band Kakumei. In March, 2020 she left that band and became a session drummer. Shortly after she left, the remaining two members found a new drummer and changed the name to Trident. Trident is still active and a very good trio band. There is a Trident video that has Junna on the drums. In the Through the Fire and Flames video, Junna is 24. There is a lot of confusion about her age, mainly because there is a well-known Japanese singer named Junna that is a few years younger.
Thanks for that info. Good on her dad to get her started sheeeesh! She is amazing
@@DrumRollTonyReacts From what I understand, she was the leader of the percussion section of her school's Brass Band. She decided she wanted to be as active as possible in the percussion section, which is why she decided to start playing drums.
Junna was 22 when she made this video.
As somebody commented on another video, Junna is Japanese, so her age could be anywhere between twelve and forty...
@@thesuperdak7224 I know her age.
I truly believe Junna is a force of nature. Unending energy and complete enjoyment of what she is doing.
The thing I as a non-musician take away from Junna is that it makes me happy to see her having so much fun!
It's obvious why she's so good. Just look at the huge smile on her face. She loves what she's doing.
The bit where Junna has a drink in the PiP is a nod to the hold-my-beer moment in the original Dragon Force MV. I’m still waiting for a reactor who understands the reference.
Ha that's awesome
I have seen a few reactors who instantly recognize that moment in Junna's video, but most reactors just seem to be confused.
@@Ratherbflyin LOL cool bro
She beats those drums like they owe her money. With a smile on her face!
Lmao
I think BabyMetal just found their secret 4th member lol. Actually I do believe JUNNA covered DokiDoki Morning in full Battle Armor lol.
So the idea is not so crazy as she would be brilliant. JUNNA is a fireball of positive energy with the skills to back it up. Rock on!! 🔥🥁🔥🤘
Junna is so fun to watch. I highly recommend her cover of Judas Priest Painkiller!
ruclips.net/video/b_nXz4uyQVY/видео.html
Unreal! She could entertain a brick wall and get a standing ovation!
JUNNA actually plays that crazy style in her live performances. Just how she feels the music. The DragonForce drummer said this is the best cover he's seen of this song. He had a grin like a proud father the whole time he was reacting to it.
The drummer of Dragonforce, Gee Anzalone, said this is his favorite cover of the song. Who is gonna argue with that. :-)
Just as Herman Li said of TheDooo's cover of Herman's lead, that it was the best he's heard. How about those two in a band, Junna and TheDooo.
Hey, Tony. Great reaction! Love your knowledge and never apologize for stopping or rewinding. It’s why I watch. Anyway…you need to react to “Drone Corpse Aviator “ by Archspire. I’m an older guy, and their drummer does something called gravity blasts which is basically a one handed drum roll on crack. It was something new for me. Really entertaining video..like an old Troma horror flick. Love the channel man!
Thanks for the nice comment and suggestion
Spencer Prewett is so musical for the speed at which he plays.
Junna is just on another level of drumming. Energy in that little Japanese girl with pigtails is amazing. I just love that girl. 😊
Herman Li said that one thing that sets her aside from most other drummers is that she looks like she's actually having fun.
Reminds me of Akane from Band-maid- she loves playing so much she is always grinning. Maybe its a japanese female drummer thing.
To view recording sessions there is a fee and about 15 seated on a viewing box. She definitely has the power and endurance, every time I watch I cry with the sheer skill & performance. Peace Love and Light
Lol what ? Who letting in random folks to recording sessions?
🤩👌💥💯
Junna(pronounced "Yun - na'h") has made probably THE most entertaining drum cover ever with this one, by far...
🤘😎🇫🇮💙🎼
Of course the J is a Y. Lol.
Seems Japan has embarked on a super human young women production; Junna is one of many(haruna Akane);what do they feed those girl !
Junna… the girl born into a vat of Red Bull. Absolutely terrifying talent!
Hard to judge “stick height” when the sticks are over half the length of her arms!
The most joyful playing I’ve seen outside of the Muppet Show…
I mean, it's really easy to judge heights
😳 Dang! This kid rocks🤘😜🤘
Junna is drumming beast no doubt of that .
so cool , the video with her ex band trident -Voltage is good too , impossible to watch her without smiling :)
I love watch Junna play, it's like she's having a conversation with every part of her drum kit...she loves what she's doing!
Great reaction! Highly highly recommend her cover of Painkiller!
When the actual drummer says it is his favorite cover other than his own, you are doing something right.
Your analysis and reaction to the new video “【 JUNNA 】Lux Æterna / Metallica - Drum cover - “ of drummer "JUNNA" is appreciated. I think you will laugh along with the surprise again.😂
Waiting in excitement for more Lovebites! Swan song or Set the world on fire, live versions for both :D -Love the energi of Junna, never fails to raise my mood!
I believe Junna is actually powered by a nuclear reactor! She is too awesome and I love watching her play. My face always hurts after watching her from the non stop smiling. She has a ridiculous amount of talent and I love the way she expresses herself while playing. I hope you react to more of her videos (like every single one, lol).
nxt stop try tamu murata of nemophila drum cover of symphony x nevermore and tarn softwhip drum cover of waking the demons by bullet for my valentine
Hi Tony, just discovered your channel and quite enjoyed this reaction. You really seem to know your stuff, and I appreciate that you recognize the importance of _performance_ in addition to just technical skill.
Taking that into consideration, you might enjoy another band that Junna has covered: Babymetal. They're another Japanese band - in fact, the one that really paved the way for the recent proliferation of female-fronted rock and metal bands in Japan (e.g. Nemophila, Band-Maid, Lovebites, etc.) - and they're famous for incredible live performances with great crowd interaction moments and virtuosic playing from their backing band. If that's piqued your interest, I would suggest checking out their song Catch Me If You Can live at Budokan Black Night. I look forward to seeing what you make of it!
P.S. As someone who was on the drumline in school and very much into it, the sound of the snares in your intro was music to my ears!
Link to a good upload since there are a lot of poorly-made compilation videos for this song floating around: ruclips.net/video/YiAJeKgufMk/видео.html
@@silly_programme5061 I agree! Definitely do not react to the video with the most views because that one is specially bad.
I second that, definitely worth checking out!
@@silly_programme5061 good link, with Kami Band intro. Tony, be sure to check the dance/choreography, it's a song about taunting the devil during hide & seek / tag 😈🤘🎸💃😎
She's great I love her energy you gotta check out junna drum cover for pain killer by judas priest and her drum cover of the song DEMON
Just FYI, Demon is her original - not a cover. But yeah, it’s awesome :)
Junna startet with 14 Years , but Yoyoka startet with 4 ... , another japanese Drummer , she likes older stuff like good Times , Bad Times/ Led Zeppelin , here with 8 years ruclips.net/video/91pz1E8pAOY/видео.html , same with 12 + some other Musicians ruclips.net/video/0b5hdiOjupo/видео.html
Junna plays fast , ist a Baby Metal Fan , Yoyoka ist more a rock Type , she made over 100 covers already , here another one ruclips.net/video/Tkw57uGnSrs/видео.html Rage against the Machine / Bulls on Parade
Yoyoka is 12 now and already in the top 500 drummers of all time rankings,definitely worth checking out…her cover of Deep Purple’s Burn being reacted to by their drummer Ian Paice is a good option to start with.
The drinking break is a tribute to the original video.
Sam Totman downs a beer during Herman Li's solo.
🤟🍻
Sure you want to go here it’ll make you quit hang up your sticks, and Japan is full of these amazing musicians any instrument they are unreal
She's like a smiling, miniature Japanese tornado.
Great reaction. Junna is a force of nature. 😊 you should check out some of Yoyoka's drum covers. You're gonna love her 😎
Great reaction. I've seen tons of reactions to this and other covers of hers. I've seen some people in the comments criticizing her for hamming it up too much. I personally dig it. She played it perfectly, but I'd much rather someone make a couple mistakes from hamming it up and enjoying themselves than playing perfectly and looking like a robot. If you do check out some Babymetal like others have mentioned, it would be cool to watch her cover of Doki Doki Morning along with the MV also. Her cover is a shortened version, but its worth watching for her left foot technique.
Ham it up cause she got the gig!
Genghis Khan would be a great Junna video to watch too. It's extremely playful, and it's also one of the underrated Iron Maiden music :)
Yeah!!! Thanx Tony!!! Alwways having fun watching your reacctions! It was so interesting to listen to a professional like you, and realized I wasn't wrong about her! The drummer needs passion, accuracy, and especially HAPPINESS, like AKANE from BAND-MAID!! Cheers from Tokyo!!!🤘😁
Cheers! How are things?
Link to Gee and Junna playing "side by side": ruclips.net/video/7LS2tlfNLU8/видео.html
Drummers of such high skill amaze me. I don’t understand how any human being can play like this, let alone someone who started at the late age of 15!
She was originally in charge of percussion in a brass band before that,maybe for 5 or 8 years.
Junna has never believed in economy of motion while drumming.
I adore this drum cover by Junna and have sent it to my drummer friends since I first watched it.
Another one you would like Tony is the Unlucky Morpheus ( feat.FUMIYA )-「Unending Sorceress 」Drum Playthrough ruclips.net/video/5Ii57wXS2vc/видео.html
Fumiya is a beast.
This is one of the Best youtube videos i hever had seen,With your unsure laugh, and you don't understand how such a young girl can play like that at such a high tempo for so long and hard hitting,and look at here smal feet and hands,and when you said this it's freaking amazing,that is so good :)
Great reaction Tony. At least when you pause a video & make intelligent comments, you have the good grace to rewind it a few seconds to keep the flow going. So many reactors neglect that part of reacting. One thing that really gets me is the 'heel/toe' operation of the hi hats with her left foot, while working the kick pedal.
I think you will also really like her cover of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller' too. There's even a bit of live on stage footage in that one as well. Cheers.
I didn't always do that but after people yelled at me long enough I made adaptations LMAO
Even the drummer from dragon force watched this and said this was the best cover he had seen
We can well say that this 20-year-old girl can play the drums :)
If you are impressed by Junna, you will be amazed by Yoyoka Soma, a 12 year old Japanese drum prodigy. She is Junna cubed.
Been a fan of JUNNA's since her days with Girls Rock Band Kakumei. You should check some of their stuff out. After she left the band and they changed their name to Trident, they have continued to be great. My favorite band after, of course, Band-Maid.
She use two overhead mics and a condenser mic on the bass drum.
Junna is a big fan of BabyMetal. If you react to one of their performances, you will see energy and perfection on a grand scale.
They are on the list for sure
Yoyoka is a Must..
Her painkiller cover is also fantastic
Junna is a force of nature. She was involved in the project Girl Rock Band Kakumei, actually the band is named Trident.
I would dare to say that the weight of a drummer of this caliber conditions a band too much. In my opinion Trident probably sounds better now that it's free of this influence. There are times when stratospheric musicians end up weighing too much in group dynamics
And her replacement, Nagisa, has mad chops of her own...
she is a joy to watch
Next stop rising force drum Cover!!!!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌
Watch Junna with the band TRIDENT playing the song Voltage........AWESOME
Buddy Rich reborn!
Junna was formerly the drummer for GRBK (Girls Rock Band Kakumei). Here is a clip: ruclips.net/video/9k9txMouU34/видео.html After she left in 2020, they found another insane drummer and rebranded as Trident. Some of the old GRBK stuff can be found by searching Kakumei or Trident.
This is not my kind of music but you would have to admit she is a fantastic drummer, male or female, great playing.
By no means i wanna diminish Junna´s talent, but a few fact that not a lot of people maybe know.
Junna is no kid, at the time of recording the video she must be 19-20 years old. A lot of japanese woman don´t show their age easily, so she is no kid.
Also, Junna isn´t an amateur doing some incredible cover. She is a professional drummer. She was in some bands like Trident
ruclips.net/video/azQVVhMUz58/видео.html
She starts playing drums at an age of 15 years, so she is obviously very talented
Btw, Gee Anzalone, Dragonforce´s Drummer also do a reaction to this video and is hillarious
ruclips.net/video/2M2Hv5GuSn4/видео.html
Junna played for the previous incarnation 'Girls Rock Band Kakumei', not Trident. The drummer for Trident (and in the linked vid) is Nagisa (another awsome Japanese female drummer).
The best way to describe Junna is to say she is a pile of DYNAMITE ... I would suggest you to try to compile Junna performing this song together with Tina S doing guitar ... Man what a combination that would be
This is no diss but her energy reminds me of Animal from the muppets.....
Hi Tony I guess that sweet drum fill with the camera angle you are looking for is at 8:26 you can play it in slow motion with the option where you adjust the video quality but if on PC should be the gear icon in your screen. because it's my favorite drum fill too JUNNA is my favorite drummer.
Before ya ask.....She's using overhead collectors.
What a little bundle of energy, huh? The videos for Junna just never get boring. :)
Another song that also demands a lot from the drummer is undoubtedly 'Kurenai' by X Japan, which coincidentally was covered by a band you only have one video of on your channel so far. :) We're talking about Nemophila with their drummer Tamu Murata, who actually also covered this song already quite a few years before her time with Nemophila.
I'll just put the video IDs of the videos here in case you're interested:
1: Bd3Ss30FZjg (full band cover by Nemophila which I recommend first, not only because I like Nemophila, but I think it's maybe the best cover of this song in general)
2: qyRzBO_MEm4 (full band cover but as drumcam version, which Tamu uploaded on her own channel back in 2016. Pretty good if you want more detailed footage of her playing)

「 _"完璧なんてありえない" / Perfection? No one gets there._ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Warning' 🕊
I use to drum for 15 years. I haven't played for over 10. I was recently asked to help play a few songs for a band.
After 3 songs, I was huffin and puffin. Seeing Juna play this song made me do a lot of reflection. lol. I ran a 50 yard dash. She ran a 100 mile dash. lol.
Hello from Whidbey Island! Its really cool to watch the video of the actual Dragonforce drummer watching this and he totally loved her energy and said its probably his favorite cover.
You will also like Junna's cover of Judas Priest Painkiller.
This was great you should check out her cover Ruma Rinu Kun its amazing, plus there's only maybe 3 reactions to that one when there should be tons its so good lol
I told you.. 😅 She is killer...
You MUST check out "Tina S" doing this same song on an electric guitar. Equally as mind blowing just on a different instrument. Junna is just absolutely amazing!!! I have no idea where these young people get so much endless energy. Good for them!!!
Haven't seen you react to this drummer, el estepario siberiano yet. Look him up brother & see what you think 😅
He is my favorite internet drummer. I have not done any of his videos yet
Could you please please react to more Junna. Her Ashes of the Dawn *(DragonForce - Drum cover) is also very good! And so is her ORIGINAL drum solo Demon!!!
Painkiller -Judas Priest, Genghis Khan - IRON MAIDEN & I Was Born To Love You / Queen - Drum Cover are also absolutely worth a review.
And so is Trident Voltage where Junna played the drums in this excellent song and band.
ガールズロックバンド革命『VOLTAGE』MV ruclips.net/video/9k9txMouU34/видео.html
Yeah I def plan on doing more of her for sure
Thanks Tony that was fantastic. I had seen Junna pop up in my feed but never watched her until now. I can’t wait until we see her as part of an amazing band, because how could she not with skills like that right?
She was the original drummer with GRBK (Girls Rock Band Kakumei). They still have some videos up on YT, you may find them under their new name, Trident, though they took that name after she left in 2020.
You cannot watch this and not smile. I know several drummers personally that could kill it on this song and only maybe ONE of them has even a fraction of the energy and showmanship she displays. And that's a real bummer. Most drummers are so effing BORING to watch in a live setting unless you're an absolute technique nerd. In a live band every member needs to be engaging for people to remember you unless your sound is on that "other" level.
She's a certified badass.
All 4 limb doing something different. Exhausting!
Junna is not only good - she is a maniac behind the drums. Love her. But here is the ultimate drum version of "Through The Fire And Flame". And even Junna is good, this version is from an other level: ruclips.net/user/shortsh4eFCGiuwDk
She is very good. She should be professional with Dan by now because most all rock drummers have a certain personality. I’d like to see her true personality behind the drums, not playing other peoples music, but her dynamics off the hook. Just unfortunately I’ve known a lot of drummers just as good if not better, maybe it’s Johndra music maybe it’s just talent but if you can pull that off without thinking about it record label need to sign your ass
Really enjoyed your reaction. I've been a fan of Junna for a while, in this vid she is 24 years old, but started playing at 15, and was considered a prodigy when she started winning competitions at 16.
Now she's a session drummer as far as I know, and very much in demand, although she used to be in a Japanese Baby Metal band, that went on to become Trident, after she left. It's a lot of fun watching people who really know how to play the drums, and who really understand how good she is.
If the Energizer Bunny and a Powder Puff Girl ever had a daughter who learned to play the drums incredibly well, it would be Junna. For me it's not just the technical precision with which she is playing, she is tight on time all the way through, but the joy which she expresses whilst playing something that any drummer will tell you is not easy, but from a cardio and a technical point of view :)
I'm looking forward to another video reaction to her soon
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Check out her channel :) She does a really good cover of DragonForce's Ashes of the Dawn, and Judas Priest's Killer. Well worth a watch.
Thanks for replying.
Okay, I've been playing drums for over 50 years. After seeing Junna play I ask myself "WTF....I don't have half that stamina or chops that she does.....why do I continue?"
Lol right!? She is amazing
But what about her speed and hard hitting, for so long,she never slow down the tempo,that it's freaking amazing like you said :)
great reaction. keep up the good work!
Pls. React also to yoyoka, an 8 yrs old Japanese girl drumming “ Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin
Anesthetize drum cover by Gavin Harrison
When she is taking a drink is making fun of the Guitar player on Guitar player. This song from Dragon Force is the last song on Guitar Hero.
You should react to Elestepariosiberiano's 115 cover
You’re a drummer I’m also a musician but you know it’s not good to stop and think about what you’re playing muscle memory must take over if you think about what you’re doing you lose that freedom disorder I’ve gotten to point square I got on stage and walked off stage and wondered what the hell did I just do totally blocked out best show ever put out anyways rock on
Cover of pain killer from Judas priest
aw shucks, its the 5 minute version, album version is just so much better and so much worth the extra 2 minutes and 19 seconds
Sie liebt das Schlagzeug spielen über alles. Das ist auch der Grund, warum sie stets lächelt. Allein dieses lächeln macht Junna schon zu einer aussergewöhnlichen Schlagzeugerin, dazu ihr Talent und ihr Können = Fantastisch 👍👍👏👏👏💕
She's absolutely fearless.
My biggest takeaway from this reaction is that the biggest takeaway for the reactor was that she is playing for no one. And still gives everything. That is a mindset you need to have if you are going to be a performer. Its like when you go to school. If you do not take it seriously you will not learn anything, even though the school is only a simulation of the real thing.
Something like that, yes
Gotta do at least one more Junna reaction. ( Ashes of the Dawn ) gotta hear what you have to say about it.
