I hate this. Why? Because not only does he make it look so easy, he's smiling throughout like he's not even thinking about it. Top talent and top man. Thanks for posting.
Akira is a great example that it's never too late to start playing drums...he started playing when he was 17 and you should see the band he played with for the past 30 years....Casiopea is a band full of monsters!!!
I've known about Akira since the early days of his tenure with CASIOPEA the Japanese Jazz-Funk band. He's been amazing all the time. I have a double laserdisc of one of their late 80's tour and during his drum solo he's just phenomenal. Let's not forget is buddy Tetsuo SAKURAI on bass, who's the perfect match for an amazing rythm section...
That was orgasmic... you can see on his face that he plays for fun and not for being the best and ultimate drummer! Akira owns!!! And thinking he began playing the drums at the age of 18... amazing!
HE IS AMAZING! Go Akira! It's unbelievable how stupid people would leave comments like "he made mistakes!" but you go to their channels and they have NO VIDEOS at all, c'mon ppl, he didn't make mistakes: THE ELECTRONICS didn't respond! Anybody with an electronic kit knows this happens from time to time. And if you think you can critizice a MONSTER like Mr Jimbo then please at least have one video in your channel to enlighten us with your amazing skills...., idiot
best thing i like abt him is that no matter when or what he plays, he has that look that he really enjoys drumming. Some people drum and their face has that constipated look, but he seems like he's having fun
I would actually agree with drsteve0487 on that Akira did make mistakes. He's only human and I don't think we're faulting for noticing his mistakes, but what's more remarkable is his ability to keep on track with everything and recover so well. I think it's better that he made a mistake than did a "perfect" performance, because it only serves to show what a master he is - almost perfect recovery from mistakes rather than letting it get him down. That's true musicianship
and its these type of drummers that make them amazing, much like carter beauford..always with a cheeky smile on his face..means they are having fun..and you do so much better when you are enjoying yourself
Pretty sick, love the groove during the Bond part. I love how he keeps the 8ths on the hats going with his foot when he uses his hand for the triggers.
Notice how, exactly on the very last crash hit of Bond, he simultaneously hits the program change pad. So he's ready for the next song. This guy is a genius!
I've watched this video a lot since it first came out, and now that im a much more experienced drummer, it sounds even more impressive. I just absolutely loathe the sound of his snare
i agree with how people wrongly compare musicians from vastly different genres, but i cant say jimbo is an electric/acoustic drummer...i cant put his style to a word perse, but even w/o his electric set up, he still amazes me. just watch any casiopea performance...especially 'trance evolution'
Since the sequence of notes on one of the pads are pre programmed, sometimes if he misses a note or plays a note too much the melody is 'out of sync'. Then while soloing with his other three limbs he makes up for it by creating a new melody so that the sequence of notes are back in sync. Amazing. Drummers are the ultimate multitaskers.
excuse my language but that was fookin smooth! love this guy and he always makes me want electric pads for my kit! and i hate electric kits lol! hes too kool i really wanna go to one of his clinics! AWESOME!
O_o this guy is a beast. Makes it look so easy. for me hes the best drummer iv herd and seen with an exception of jojo mayer and B.Rich. P.S he is an independence master
wat makes him so great is his precision. and the fact that he plays every instrument in the song. Vadrum is just doin play alongs. and he kinda created the MIDI drum trigger system

簡単ドラムセットの山を忘れては嫌ですよ。
I saw one of his clinics at my hometown Surabaya. He's amazing, friendly, done all of his homework, and surprisingly he cleanead up after the session
Baru tau kalau dia pernah klinik di Surabaya. Tepatnya di Surabaya mana, cak?
@@muhammadfaisalhidayat5221 sama nih
impressive
@@muhammadfaisalhidayat5221 waktu itu di WTC
gotta luv the style and flashyness of the soloist!!!
As far as RUclips goes, this guy is highly underrated amongst the "super-drummer" community.
This guy is INSANE! Love his blend of creativity, originality and technical mastery
Akira, you're incredible and so inspirational
DUDE that was sweet and the fact that he looks so happy while doing that is pretty awesome
akira jimbo is alien from other galaxy he actually born in 2715 where people can mix the brain of weckl, lang and horazio.
perfect !!!
your comment is awesome!
i love him because he shows that drums are not just something like "background" instruments,you can also do a one man show with them
He's a one man show. Effing amazing!

Saw this guy do a demo in So Cal last year. Unreal.
a master of his course.
i love how he smiles the whole time
the way he uses the left foot makes it hear like he had another hand. Great.
you can easily tell hes having fun. thus he is an awesome drummer
OWNED!
I love this guy!! he's always smiling!
I've watched this video a lot since it first came out, and now that im a much more experienced drummer, it sounds even more impressive. I just absolutely loathe the sound of his snare
been a huge fan for years....he is definitely where drums and drummers are headed : Hybrid....fusion.
another great mostly unknown drummer...yes all pop groups get famous..but guys like this are beyond...
one word:
AWSOME!
so clean
Pretty smooth. The guy definitely looks in control and relaxed. He also has a pretty decent economy of motion most of the time.
Fantastic drummer.
Incredible!!!
Akira Jimbo my idol...i love the way he play drum...like very relax and enjoy
Amazing. I hope to get to his level one day. Amazing.
Ilove this guy ..Soo musical,soo happy and very persise. Akira is incredible. Thanks Man...
What! So happy
OHHH BOY!!! THIS GUY MAKES ME SMILE WITH THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE!!!
Love this. I'd much rather hear groove oriented playing like this than the hit-as-many-notes-as-i-can type solos.
i agree with how people wrongly compare musicians from vastly different genres, but i cant say jimbo is an electric/acoustic drummer...i cant put his style to a word perse, but even w/o his electric set up, he still amazes me. just watch any casiopea performance...especially 'trance evolution'

Bravo Akira 👏👍👍👍
he's my favorite drummer !! damn good.. !! i think he's the best drummer in Asia..
That's friggin' awesome use of MIDI trigging!

Then while soloing with his other three limbs he makes up for it by creating a new melody so that the sequence of notes are back in sync. Amazing. Drummers are the ultimate multitaskers.
He is a one man band. So freakn great!!!!
excuse my language but that was fookin smooth! love this guy and he always makes me want electric pads for my kit! and i hate electric kits lol! hes too kool i really wanna go to one of his clinics! AWESOME!
Roffle, didn't think it would take this long for someone to get it!

ZomGGGGGg Akira Jimbo ownssssssss im so happy my friend got me into his music
Always with a smile =) Amazing !!
amazing
At 3:30 he makes one mistake with the step sequenced melody trigger but fixes it back in no time.. AMAZING!!!!
i follow akira from a lot of years and it's the first time i ever seen him made a mistake...
This guy is a performer..
indeed awesome!, what you say: no stops
Pretty sick
Akira jimbo numero uno..!!
i love his hybrid cymbals.....gotta get me some
Amazing!
途中ミスって普通だったら慌てんのに笑いながら修正って…すごすぎ…
BRILLANT
What more can I say, except that I'd love to meet him in person just to help me regain my passion for playing.
i love his snare
haha he plays so light a airy. so smooth!!
Amazing drumer..
clearly anyone bashing Akira is not a drummer. Any drummer would see the challenge of providing the beat AND triggering the loops. This is amazing.
Absolutely Amazing !!! WOW !! : )
yeah dude
that was freakin`awesome!
i love the smiling, i wish i could be that happy, when I play =D
un maestro!!!!
excellent!!!!
i like so much
akira rules!!!

So cool !
damn the man cant be any happier than tis i think =]

Does anyone else unconsciously head-bob when he goes into that Mission Impossible beat? I just can't help myself!
