Junna is just on another level of drumming. She started to play drums with her 15 and now she's 26. She was in band called Kukumei, now Trident, till few years ago but she left. Tightness, speed and power besides her stamina. She is little Japanese powerhouse with pigtails. But beyond everything, she is real showman and she is so fun to watch.. I just love her. Junna! ❤️❤️❤️
As a little background on Junna, she started drumming in 2011 when she was 15 and started winning drumming competitions a year later. She did play in the band now called Trident (can't remember what it was called when she was with them) but left to become a very sought after session drummer. She uploaded this video when she was 24 and is currently 26 and still uploading great videos. Not sure she could keep this pace in a long concert but her solos would be amazing. If you want to see her again, I am another vote for Painkiller.
Trident used to be called "Girls Rock Band Kakumei".
@@HALberdier17 Trident Voltage is the one you want to see
Who does she play with these days?
@@1dognight166 She is currently a freelance or session drummer so she plays with a lot of different people in studio. Her work is very likely on many different albums but you wouldn't know it unless you read the credits. I don't think any of her gigs are backing band stage performances or you would probably see them on RUclips. She does have some solo public performances on her RUclips channel. Everything on her RUclips channel is worth watching.
@@danw6048 Here is one of only a few that I have found. It is a whole set. I believe she has played with them more than once iirc.

Mr. Heretic, you'll love this then. Gee Anzalone - the drummer of Dragonforce - reacted to this same video. He had a smile on his face the entire time, like a happy father watching their child play and play for the hell of it and enjoying it. He said that this was his favorite drum performance of TTFAF, outside of him playing it himself.
Junna is really REALLY good. She's taken on Doki Doki Morning, Painkiller (Judas Priest), Ashes of the Dawn (Dragonforce), as well as leading her own bands. She's phenomenal. If you want a fun ride, react to her drum cover of Painkiller. you'll have fun there!
He was as giddy as a prom queen 👑
Indeed.
Around 18:50, a flaw you say, really? she is not copying the actual drum part. I guess that pause was deliberate, and it fits with the vocals coming in. completely flawless dude. Rock on.
She does a short cover of Doki Doki Morning while dressed like Babymetal... All of her covers bring me great joy with her facial expressions and body English.... One of a kind

"It's the radio edit, so I know what to expect" No one knows what to expect the first time they see this whirlwind on the drums who looks like an anime character in Rock Band.
I love Junna, so much energy and sooo much FUN ! 🤘🤘
This young woman is an absolute joy to watch!
I always imagine this big, bad thrash metal band on stage, but all you see behind the kit are these two pigtails and bows going ballistic :D
Greetings! Straight to the point, that flaw that you mentioned for me is just her interpretation of the song, and when you said that you were impressed with how she recovers, for me is that she got the skills to make that style on the interpretation without falling behind, for me she's a solid 10 in my book! But I'm just a music fan not an expert, just my opinion! And I saw another reaction from drummers to her video that thinks similar to me on the aspect to the part that you hear/see the flaw. Anyways is just a matter of opinion based on taste of of styles I guess. Sorry for my English, isn't my first language, Spanish is. Thanks!
This is one reaction I was looking forward to. Gee Anzalone said she was THE BEST. She has her peddles set very tight. A slight touch sets it off. I was very lucky to chat with Junna on Sunday. It was a one way chat as she doesn't know English. LOL! Off the drums her life is completely opposite. Quiet and giggle, she loves cosplay, dresses up in frilly outfits. Sweet girl. On the drums she murders them. I have never seen a bad review from a drum expert. Junna is simply the best. There is a whole line of Japanese musicians that are off the charts.
Yoyoka Soma is a first class drummer. Yoyoka is 12 now. Yoyoka got endorsement deals at the age of 8. Super young at 8 here playing of Led Zepplin's "Good Times Bad Times is spectacular. I don't know if you can get past Yoyoka's picture. Yoyoka looks like a baby yet beats those drums like a real pro.
Definitely check out more Junna! I've read a lot of comments on her videos and other reactions, saying that she cheeses it up too much. I agree with what you said. I'd much rather see a drummer have fun than be perfect and boring.
Junna is awesome. I don't know how she or other drummers are so damn coordinated. Great reaction! Also, I never even noticed that little mistake until you pointed it out. It blends right in for us average fans.
AGREED...
I can't stop moving my feet when I watch her play, her energy is contagious. She's clearly taking a page like many Japanese drummers do from Yoshiki, always having a blast.
I have been playing the drums for 55 years.I am really old 68 and counting down.lol I was told many many years ago by a very good friend who is a very well known drummer.Will not drop names told me Dave if your not dancing while playing something is wrong.If you do not capture you fans attention you have done them a dis service.Us drummers have in my opinion the hardest chair we drive the band We are responsible for the time,the groove,the energy and making the band feel comfortable!! If you sit on your throne and the only things that are moving is your arms you have lost the fans.Hell dance enjoy your self encourage your band mates to do the same.I am sure there will be many who disagree I am sorry just my opinion.Dave sorry to be so wordy but I agree with you.
Fantastic video, David! Junna is a beast and I can't get enough of watching her play the drums. I agree with your thoughts about her showmanship. It makes her vids 10 times better since you can see she is having too much fun without missing a beat. She has an original composition on her channel called "Demon" that you should watch sometime. Good stuff!
This right here is why you are my favorite reactor. I love the honesty in what you bring. ,❤️
This the best reaction video of that drummer's video that I've seen! 👍 The reviewer's commentary was not just enthusiastic, but it included information that added to the original video.
One reviewer pretty much simply said, "Wow!" ... which is understandable; but, it didn't add much - especially for us non-drummers.
(Former bass player here - R&B and Funk).
Great job sir! By far my favorite JUNNA cover, have watched them all. I always call her THE MOST ENTERTAINING Drummer in the world. Such a beast! Beats the drums like they owe her money. One of her videos a bolt even falls off on the floor.
Gee Anzalone (the drummer for Dragonforce) came out and said this was his favorite cover of the song because he loves how much fun she seemed to be having when she recorded this. He made a point that I took as basically saying that drummers who are looser, are looking like they’re having a good time, and are not as afraid/hunched up are more entertaining.to watch.
You have the best commentary of any of the reaction videos for this song.
I learn so much about music when listening to you David. Fantastic!
Someone made a comment on her channel that they didnt like her facial expressions. Junna is excitement incarnated, she is entertaining.
Had to be a haters 😮 she the best 😮
OMG! More of Junna please. 🙏🏻 I must’ve watched this on her channel 30 times since this reaction. Her Painkiller is badass too. I thought Pau was a beast. Junna- hold my juice box…
Man junna is amazing
This drum cover is legendary.
I'm convinced Junna easily could have done the original full 7 minutes if she wanted to! Energy to spare for sure!
Thanks for checking out Junna. When it comes to the Japanese rock scene, a lot of people focus on the guitar shredders, but where Japan is really killing it is the huge amount of talent on the back line. All of the bands that are really good have drummers and bassists who just crush it.
Thank you for letting me know you did this one I enjoyed it as much as you maybe more. I also picked up some skills from her. I am only a 2 year drummer. But she’s great with all she does. Take care and thanks again. Stay metal. 🤘👉🦊👈
You need to see her cover painkiller. It's amazing
Well, I guessed 8.8 as an optimistic score, which is still great as we know, so choosing between a 9 and a 9.1 is amazing! I had trepidation about requesting this drum cover from Junna, as I thought about A: a drum cover and B: the played to death DragonForce song. Knowing you love stage presence and showmanship, I took the risk of requesting it and am so glad it bought you so much enjoyment. Thank you.
Great reaction and review! She's REALLY good. And I'm quite picky about drummers... 😎
Junna Junna Junna!
Very good réaction et analyse.
I recommend doing another reaction to junna.
Your observations are interesting
She is amazing. I love her smile. and her passion. ❤❤❤
She was also mouthing to the lyrics of the song at the start, which I thought was cool too
Love this
Toot talent! Top showmanship! Make sure she is up front so people can see her.
She’s got a few times where her stick gets caught under the high hat but she’s so fun to watch that you hardly notice and it makes ZERO difference in the quality. She kills it!
That's not the stick getting caught that's a hit on the up stroke
I used to be a drummer and watching her im exhausted!!
My favorite drummers are Akane from Band-Maid and Junna, so it was great to hear your opinion about Band-Maid. If you watch her drum cover of Ashes of the Dawn you can really see how light on her feet she is. I would suggest watching her MV from her days with Girls Rock Band Kakumei called Voltage or Utopia to hear her double kick to an original song from her band.
She is a gift for all drummer🥰
She's having a deep relationship with her drums, she talks to them and listens to them! I found out about her when she was in Girls Rock Band Kakumei. She's Keith Moon reincarnated! 😄 The man himself, Gee Anzalone, loved her cover: ruclips.net/video/2M2Hv5GuSn4/видео.html
That's what I like about Arjey from Halestorm. He ENJOYS playing and you can FEEL it. And yes, Junna is a BEAST!
There are some fantastic Japanese female drummers out there. Kanade Sato, Senri Kawaguchi and of course Akane!!! There must be some thing in the water over in Japan???!!!
Maybe because they teach their kids good things in school instead of being trans and common core
Keith Moon would approve!
I commented something like that on the original video... Keith Moon reincarnated or something to that matter
Best reaction ever :)
I found Junna from her Doki Doki Morning cover. yes, I was falling down the foxhole, looking for anything Babymetal. I'm glad I stumble onto her cover.
Fun to watch
Great reaction man, Junna is great. You should check out her footwork in Ashes of the Dawn / DragonForce, she is very light on her pedals.
Junna was the drummer for the Japanese metal band Trident.
Great video and i love pure joy reaction from David. Actually David, you should check Gee Anzalone reaction on her. The pure joy and happiness on his face, even he viatually playing the same thing as she. That was the tipping pont that sale me to Junna.
so fun ;))
Chanel yang selalu mengedukasi...
JUNNA !!!!! 👍😁
If you want to play with Junna why don't you throw out a drum cover challenge to her and see who wins. I'd like to see that.
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.😂
correct score
9.1 good call. Junna is EPIC
Next JUNNA drum cover PAIN KILLER (Judas Priest), watch JUNNA playing drum with her band Trident-Japan songs Voltage, No Regret....
Her cover of Judas Priest painkiller kicks ass as well
You can't believe it can you- but it's true she got soul !!!
Thanks!
When Gee Anzalone (The drummer for Dragonforce) says this is the best cover he's ever seen I don't think anybody elso will be able to find any fault.
A proud Maidiac just says hello and thank you for your comment about Akane. Hearing that what she does is appreciated and respected is just always nice. 🙏🏻

「 _"完璧なんてありえない" / Perfection? No one gets there._ 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Warning' 🕊
She is a hoot to watch. Like you I would love to plug into a bass rig and jam with someone like her, or my ultimate would be Haruna.
15:22 The "lightness" of her feet remind me of Scott Buchanan from Unleash The Archers. Even though she double kicks orthadoxically(not a real word but you get It haha) with kicking LRLRLR, whereas Scott uses the heel/toe technique with kicking LLRRLLRR, they both are super light with their feet. I'm no drummer, but like any skill that needs high precision, putting too much "Gusto" into it throws off accuracy, and also just straight up wastes energy.
I recently came across a young girl drummer on RUclips who absolutely slays the drums. She reminds me of a mini Shannon Larkin (Godsmack drummer) with her flares. She covers some extremely insane metal tracks. To Dave and all who read this, check out Anastasia Sereda(channel name) here on RUclips. You won't be disappointed 🤘
She is sooo cute but a beast on the drums
Play that one right to the end after carefully putting the sticks down, then watch for the cheeky grin and then the look on her face "I nailed that one" ;-) - I think for the long version ? "ashes of the Dawn" ?
I think these are recorded in front of a crowd, in a couple of videos they show the crowd behind a glass like screen.
She only stared drumming as something to do with her dad, so they could spend more time together. And her teacher said she was just a natural.
She has said that she is looking for a band. Mind you there are drummers that are happy not being in a band, and just being session musicians. I saw 1 how was 16 play live for a band full of tallent, but the drummer was so good it was silly, and that was Kande Sato.
When I found this cover I sent the link to my son and said "hey if you feel like grinning like an idiot for 5 minutes, check this link out." That girl is a superstar.
You really can’t criticique JUNNA on her ability which is amazing,,, but you will have fun watching
So Junna was a founding member of the band named "Girls Rock Band Kakumei", but in 2020 she left and that band is now called "Trident"!
There has been rumors going around that she didn't get too along with other members due to her attitude, but who really knows?
Hey David, you should see if you can turn off that overlay on your video player - when it's rendering (for a few seconds after you unpause) it it's dropping framerate until it's faded out and then it goes back to full speed. When you watch 60fps on youtube you can really see it.
Regarding bass pedal positioning; In my personal experience during my earlier years when I was still learning to have confidence in my drumming abilities, I would rest the beater against the drumhead as pretty much a security blanket out of a fear that I would not hit it at the correct times, so yeah; another confidence issue coupled with youthful inexperience, just like I shared in my first comment regarding falling apart instead of recovering after a flub.
Didn't notice the flaw but not a musician. Great drummer great reaction again.
When you get to my video Trident Voltage, you get to see Junna playing in a band where she seams to be playing faster then the song but it works.
I'm sure you know by now she come from the band TRIDENT 🔱 they played underground punk and hard rock scene. And they're one of the best bands no one's heard of . Legit vocalist also plays the rhythm guitar JUNNA on drums. And their BASSIST. For the most part is their lead. They just turn her loose she has carte blanche on solos they know she's bank. People will keep suggesting Voltage. that was the last one with JUNNA, don't do it. Dude,
Do "NO REGRET" from 2017
They flat out got lucky JUNNA replacement. They got a legit banger.
Also, you being a BASSIST
Ch"t "AMBIVALENCE"
It's with their new drummer
When they showed the dislikes she had about 2500 ish; those are the 40-year-old drummers in a fetal position sucking their thumb. Dgg'n your channel 🤘
That was awesome. Not only was she having a ton of fun, but I honestly think she's better than any drummer I've ever worked with.
Well, you have to watch her Painkiller cover now... you have no choice.
But she was the drummer of the band now known as Trident...and was supposedly overpowering :/ That's a good video to watch btw: Trident "Voltage". A little bass solo in it for you too.
All I could think of was “This drummer is at the wrong gig”. I’m sure Dave has seen that, it took RUclips by storm a few years ago. I don’t know if she could pull that type of stuff at the speed she has to play this, but that drummer probably couldn’t either.
There’s only one way to find out. I’d love to see that!
This also sprang to mind: ruclips.net/video/L-So4DLDvGc/видео.html
Yeah Steve Moore is another nutter crazy good
There is a new kid coming on insanely strong... well hes 26 lol, no kid... he played TTFATF with one hand AT TEMPO
Your reactions are much better because you seem to know what you're talking about. I like when people bring up the flaws as well as good things and don't just pretend it perfect. Nothing is ever perfect.
Couldn't agree more, there's always room for improvement.
I was just thinking that your comments taken how of context would be problematic and really funny, like "I would really like to play with her!" or "I have been watching her feet this entire time!" HEHE! 😂
FBI OPEN UP!!!!
@@THEDavidHeretic She is 25 believe it or not. I think you will be safe for now, lol!
Talking about drumming you could check Eloy Casagrande ( Sepultura's drummer) cover of Slipknot - People=Shit He's a Beast on drums, not only by hitting hard but also extreme technique. Greets from Brazil!
And you'll notice that she also mouths the lyrics too.
she made a cover of "painkiller" by judas priest...
She is a really good drummer and I really like watching her play, but I did have the feeling she somewhat overshadowed/overpowered her bandmates in her previous band with all her energy and charisma. I only have seen a couple of the songs she did with them, so I might not have the biggest sample size, but that might be why they decided to part ways. They also found a great replacement for her so I think all is good on both sides.
That being said, I do think she is a great performer and will keep watching her covers.
I am curious to see if she wants to play in an other band and if she does, how well she fits in. She certainly is talented enough to play most genres in at least rock and metal.
Yes it was very apparent that she wasn't a good fit for that band. It was really difficult to focus on anything but her drumming.
@@guitarzen5999
Her energy might work with a band like Gacharic Spin because of all the energy they all have in their live sets, but they probably won't need a drummer in the foreseeable future since they already have two fantastic drummers in their ranks. But a band with a similar energy on stage might work well for her. That way, she can work with her bandmates instead of overpowering them by accident.
@@MaartenT I agree!
While I agree that she used to grab the spotlight back in Trident/GRBK, I wouldn't say that she wasn't a good fit... To me at least, she was the magic touch that made the band really fun to watch. Nowadays I still check them out from time to time, and they are still a cool band, but that feeling of excitement is gone without Junna.
Great reaction. My guess was 8.9 so I ended up a bit low.
Not sure about the render process, but for some sections the Junna video did drop lots of frames which is quite noticeable when it's a drummer on jet fuel.
My guess about heavyfooted play is that it's people that needs to fight to keep their legs fast enough and so running out of coordination.
That was a pattern she put in there on purpose. She uses it more than once in the play through.
i would love to see junna and tina s play together :)
Trident - Voltage if you want a bit more Junna in an actual band. Rockin song.. soooo good!
Funny you should mention that song....I'll be filming it within the next 2 weeks for release in November.
Herman Li's Reaction to Tina S. (same song) he figured out that what they are doing is illegally (but he doesn't care) downloading the Stem Tracks, muting their instrument (in the track) and playing along.
thank you for my time, bro.
cant help myslef thinking of the drummer from the muppet show when i watch this :D
Junna and Steve Moore
Check out her drum cover of painkiller
That snare pause was on purpose... it makes it much more interesting
You need to react to estepario siberianos cover
Pls. React also to Yoyoka an 8 yrs old drumming “ Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zipplin.
Check out her cover of Judas Priest
Regarding your query about why some drummers fall apart with the smallest error…..
As someone who has been there, done that back before I learned that the world had not ended and like you said, no one really would ever have noticed or cared as long as I recovered with the “I meant to do that” attitude; for me at least, it was overreacting to the sheer embarrassment and being slammed in the gut with the resulting internal ‘fight or flight’ bodily response.
I had to work very intentionally, learning how to override this intense emotional barrage and basically “fake in ‘til I made it”, which also helped me hone my improvisational abilities, which I cherish and the bands I’ve been in have greatly appreciated.
I’ve also learned that I don’t have to be serious and stoic, or play a song EXACTLY as the “real drummers” did it.
Growing up in a dysfunctional family wasn’t any fun nor very helpful in honing my drumming passion. I was berated anytime I “acted inappropriately” and was always bearing the weight of the disapproval they had because “It’s not ladylike for a GIRL to play the drums” 🤬😤
Ah, being an unconventional girl in the 1970’s….. Yeah.
Fortunately my love of drumming won out and I’m still playing 46 years later; even now, learning how to play an electronic kit after a five year hiatus because 💩 happens ☺️
Sorry for the novel, but I hope my response has given you a glimpse into what sometimes goes through a drummer’s head, lol 😌
Glad to hear you're back behind the kit after taking 5 years off, never give up on what you love doing.
Like you once said, no one goes to HEAR a concert they go to SEE one and that's where showmanship separates one artist from another, whether it's guitar, bass or drums. As to Junna's double kick technique, I thought Love Bite's Haruna was spectacular, I think Junna gives her a run for her money, I just wonder if she has Haruna's stamina, bet she does!
Another great reaction!
