If someone puts down a drummer by saying 'you play like a 10 year old girl" you can say "thanks for the compliment".

Rock didn't die, it moved to Japan, and it's in great hands.

The ' Dislikes' on this Video are Drummers in Cover Bands Who Still Cant pull This off

嗚呼。オレのイアンペイスが…。



語ってしまえば限りありません。

駆け抜けていく様な疾走感…
これこそまさにSpeed King…
いやSpeed Queenだ！！⚡

[nito]

圧巻です…

セカンドインパクトです。本当にすごい…
ROCKだ…❗️

It's a masterpiece ...
I'm an old man in his late 50s, but when I was 12 years old, I was shocked to hear an album with five faces carved on the mountain surface I borrowed from my cousin, and I became an adult as it was, but today the same shock I have been hit again.
It is the second impact. Really awesome…
It's ROCK ... ❗️

（すっ、すげえぇぇぇ!!!） 丹下段平が初めてジョーのパンチを見た時と同じ感想

[ta_ma_tu]

became our Little Speed ​​Queen today. She has perfect speed control and strength control! The foot control of the quiet part is also perfect! And I was knocked out by the ending storm!

Let it dawn on you that most famous musicians don't really want to hang out with each other because they annoy each other in a lot of ways and for a lot of reasons. But, all of them want to hang out with Yoyoka. The coolest person on earth is an 11 year old Japanese girl. Fact.

[koshersalaami]

I’m 66, not a drummer, but I want to be her when I grow up.

体も大きくなりパワフルでロールが滅茶苦茶上手くなった。
こりゃ後5年たったら凄いドラマーになる。
間違いない。
