This Junna reaction is genuinely my first time ever seeing them perform as well as my first time seeing this particular performance of theirs doing "Through The Fire And The Flames" by Dragonforce. What a bundle of joy and energy she is! Powerfully fast beats played with tightness and flair. What's not to enjoy about this?!

If you like Junna, you will LOVE Yoyoka, another young Japanese drummer who is just amazing. She comes from a musical family and has been playing the drums since she was three. She is 12 now and developed into something VERY special. At 6 years old she did an amazing cover of Dazed and Confused that got her rave reviews. At 8 she won the Hit Like A Girl competition in Los Angeles, the youngest to win since Senri Yamaguchi. She is literally a prodigy, as she doesn't read music but plays by ear and can do a complete cover after listening for 2 days. Last October, for her 12th birthday, she did a series of sessions with some of the best session musicians and singers in Japan, covering Burn, Jump and several other classics. You have to check her out. She has also been giving drumming tutorials on her youtube channel since she was 5 or 6. You have to check her out.

I dunno what to tell you Dan, but this was genuinely first time I’d heard this individual. There are many thousands of epic musicians out there that we all would be lucky to hear about, but it’s not possible to be aware of them all sadly. Not hearing of a particular artist does not therefore make someone unable to play musical instruments themselves. There’s no correlation there.

She is not that super young as she might seem. I am unsure of her actual age, but I believe she is close to 25 years old or so from what I have read. So I think she is around 23 or so in this video. Which is still young in the grand scheme of things, but not 12 - 16 years old like some people seem to think. That being said, she is a good drummer regardless and indeed has a lot of showmanship. Always fun to see her play.

@danw6048 2 жыл бұрын

You are right, she was 22 or 23 at the time of this video and had very recently left the band Trident in order to concentrate on session work full time. She started playing the drums at age 15 and started winning competitions at age 16.
