I just discovered this dude after all these years of listening to this kind of music. Glad there is someone out there composing this kind of music still
I love when musicians smile when they are playing. It shows they're being immersed in the music, rather than trying to come off as cool and kept. I find myself doing this as well.
What a beautiful song but is AMAZING HOW THIS GUY CAN PLAY AND CONTROL THIS WONDERFUL DRUM WITH MIDI DEVICES AND TRIGGERS!!!!!!! I WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE DRUM LIKE HIM, HELLO FROM MEXICO!!!!
Dude it's the fact that he's incorporating the kit with songs. Plus Akira was adding electronics to his kit since his days with Casiopea over 25 years ago(4 way independence takes forever to develop) Plus he used to play guitar and piano before he started to play drums at the age of 17 and the song from 2:35 to 6:16 is a original song he made.
it makes me smile when you see drummers mouthing along to the song in the classic humming/drum language hybrid. shows they are paying attention to whats being played. hes all : hmmmm hmmmmm, ba da da.
@chrisrobertsotb probably he places the trigger devices directly on the rims, so that they can capture the vibrations produced when he hits the rims instead of the heads.
is a 13 ¼" hybrid hihat k custom series, customed for akira jimbo by zildjian, most of his cymbals are k custom hybrid series =) developed like two years ago
this guy is the best of putting a yamaha set into a hybrid set.Lol this guy might be wierd but he knows how to put stuff together and make sound crazy. Don;t jugde this guy but i think that he could make drumset worth alot of money.
I’ve watched this video in 2007 when it was uploaded and it’s crazy that I still remember it 🤯

@chrisrobertsotb probably he places the trigger devices directly on the rims, so that they can capture the vibrations produced when he hits the rims instead of the heads.
In my opinion the best drummer alive!
look at his child-like face.. he's purely enjoying the music
@Khironification it's just a regular pad with a program changing setting.Everytime he hits that pad, the sounds/midi map are changed.
He is unique, with its factory !!
she was just so amazed at every thing,
like "wow, it makes a sheep noise, OMG"
Akira es un Genio en la bataca !!!!!
he always looks so happy

The triggers are on his snare 10",12" and 14" toms,Bass drum and Jam Block
You're looking at the Dual Zone pads

i like death metal ans death metal extreme drumming and all thats but this guy is amazing and one of my favorites
こんな事が可能になってたなんて!
とても素敵だあ。
Realllllly funny video. Akira's the man !!! As always !
Que linda entrevistadora, Akira es un marciano que tal batería!
wait...2:25 he's hitting the same rim twice in a row without changing sound categories and it makes different sounds..or am I mistaken ?
wow, just absolutely amazing. i think he had only been playing for just a few years when he joined casiopea. one of the greats!
this guys amazing
I love the sound of that ride that looks like a china. So nice.
that smile
BEST DRUM HOSTESS EVER!
"Bigger sheep."
What a cutey!!! And Akira is nice too...
you are a genius!!!Great Akira
Akira's been incorporating midi pads into his drums from the early days of casiopea, early 80's my friend.
Oh my god! He is amazing!!
he aleys smileees, you see he still has so much fun as at learning the first groove
Amazing!!
Legend!😎👍
@KeithMoon94 Her name is 'melody.' and she is Japanese singer.
That would be FUN!
I know right...I'm still stuck watching his Independence VHS sometimes
after checking that complete terrific drumkit and all the sound variations, i came to the conclusion that you are right...
the chick is hot....
I like Akira Jimbo
he's having a lot of fun!
It`s very funny)) And great Jimbo`s performance of course. Hm... It`s something like a flagship V-Drums by Roland.
the samples on akira's drums sound more realistic than the sample studio audience!
wow fucking amazing
Great !!
I wish there was a high quality version of this performance.
who said that drummers couldn't be melodic :D nice one Akira!
"Sheep...Bigger Sheep...Mother Sheep..."
I Fucking loled...

Wow Amazing
Hey! We're focusing on the Drummer!
NOT the Hot Chick!!!! :D
completely agree with you !

Indeed.
it's like i said the drummer is the main part of the band here he is the full band
