"i'm a bit nervous. i'll try to do my best." proceeds to absolutely CRUSH for the next 30 minutes.

That pause and swing hit she does with her right hand on the downbeat at 3:47 is fly af

Her playing style is so loose, flowing, and relaxed… yet technical, smooth, and PRECISE! Simply AMAZING!!!

If you love outstanding percussion and jazz fusion, what’s not to love here? Senri is one of the very best jazz fusion percussionists on the planet. Technically phenomenal, superb timing, and damn original. She’s scary good and the old jazz masters (here or in heaven) must be smiling when they watch this.

I watched Senri play recently at Tokyo Blues Alley and she was basically drum filling across the live show tracks for 2-1/2 hours straight. Just phenomenal skill and stamina.

This woman is poetry in motion on the drums

She's got the surgical precision of Chad Wackerman, the fluidity of Simon Phillips and the groove of Steve Gadd and Dennis Chambers. Such an astonishing player.

Her drumming is just the right power level. Some drummers hit way too hard, some hit too light. She’s right in the sweet spot.

She plays with so much joy, so humble. What a beautiful musician. The so called A-listers could learn so much from her about technique and humanity. Transcendental performance.

I love the way Senri seems to fold her right stick back over the right shoulder,unusual,buts looks real cool.

She's not just a drummer there is passion in her playing she feels every drum beat her drumming is so part of who she is like she was made for this. She is wow awesome just love it.

Not only amazing on the drums but so cute when she talks in the interludes.

誰も書かないだろうし思ったので書きます。まだyoutubeが黎明期の頃より配信という事をプロデュースし、世界のどのドラマーより優れた配信出来る自宅スタジオをコツコツ仕上げ、このミュージシャン巣籠もり時代に世界中の音楽家達と素早く対応出来る環境を整えてくださった千里パパさんにに感謝です。千里ちゃんももちろんこの上なく素晴らしいですが、パパさんの情熱と愛情がなければ我々は楽しめませんでした。医療従事者として大変な状況でしょうが、私の人生を楽しいものにしてくださったパパさんにも大変な感謝を伝えたい事と、これからも陰ながら応援させていただきます。（追伸　：　ささやかな希望としては、なんとか歌えるカエルを直して、もう一度歌わせてください。）

When something looks so easy, you know that there is a lot of hard work behind it. She is great.

She has come a long way since i first saw her play. Have to admit i miss the frog grooving in the background though :)

She is groove’n. Timing and speed is on point

her timing is stunning and her drumming is just breathtaking..

Senri is UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME! She plays with such authority and confidence it almost defies description! She plays with a smile on her face which tells me she’s “in the groove BIGTIME”! I play drums and when I see and hear her play I want to take my kit to the backyard and BURN IT! JUST KIDDING! Honestly, I play at a level so far below Senri that it doesn’t even deserve mention! However, I must say that I have never been more impressed by a drummer, male or female, in my life! SENRI IS DEFINITELY INSPIRING! What a SWEETHEART!

I love how her playstyle is so aggressively precise and yet has a certain free-flowing elegance to it. Its like watching a well-oiled, state of the art machinery starting up. Watching her perform always puts me in a calming trance like mood. I’ve yet to go through her entire catalogue but everything I’ve heard so far are amazing.

千里、みんなで遊んでくれてありがとう。 みんながこれをとても楽しんでくれると思います。 あなたは世界でトップのドラマーの1人であるだけでなく、あなたは地球上で最も素晴らしい人です！ 私（私たち）はあなたを愛しています。 ああ、それでも、あなたがハードロックプログフュージョンバンドを集めて、オリジナルの音楽を書いて、世界、特にサンディエゴをツアーしてくれることを期待しています。 ところで-あなたの英語は素晴らしいです。 何年にもわたってあなたをフォローしてきましたが、あなたがどれほど上手に話したかを聞いて本当に驚きました。 心配しないでください。 ;-)

Senri is so sweet, but when she playes she brings out a totally different character

Dear Senri: your English is perfect, your drumming is AMAZING, but your humbleness is beyond human. 🙏🏼

Senri is an absolute powerhouse!! A brilliant musician with a musical maturity WAY beyond her years!

Unbelievable groove player with fantastic technique, I have been in loads of bands where I live and have played with some great drummers(and some really rubbish ones as well), if Senri turned up we would all just go home as her standard is of Everest heights !

どんだけ奇麗にスネア入るのよ。やっぱり異次元。

She makes every musician she plays with better. Every. Single. One. Amazing. THANK YOU, SENRI!

Makes it all look so easy, the sign of a masterful musician. The joy on her face reminds me of when I first saw pianist Hiromi perform 👍👍👍👍

When I watch Senri play, the world becomes a wonderful place!

What a treat for anyone who witnessed her full arsenal of skills. As good as it’ll ever get at anytime.

Her sense of rhythm and timing have been....and are perfect.....and getting better! Watching her play is a master class! Absolutely love her!❤

THAT AWESOME SMILE ON YOUR FACE SAYS IT ALL :)

There are dozens of drummers on youtube but I always have to stop and listen to Senri. She is just so refreshing to listen to and watch.

Just great, it always looks so easy when she plays.

Wow. That was AWESOMELY ENTERTAINING! Her skill level is through the roof and she makes double foot pedaling look so easy.

あなたはとても上手に英語を話す ！ このパフォーマンスを共有してくれてありがとう！ :-)

The more I listen to this phenomenal drummer the more I hear Tony Williams in her playing. She is hands down the best there is today.

Is it just me, or does Senri keep getting better and better? Phenomenal! I really don't think i've seen so much positivity in one human being. It's almost contagious. I absolutely loved this! Great work, Senri. Stay safe and well... \m/ (:o)

This young lady is so incredibly talented. I've been watching her for years, and watched her skill level climb higher and higher. What a joy to listen to and watch perform.

Always a joy to watch her play.

She speaks softly,but when she play its🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Senri always looks like she is having so much fun.

Still, there are musicians from whom it is impossible to get tired of very little of them. Bravisimo.

SO. MUCH. JOY. I love watching her face as she works her way through the complex rhythms. Just beautiful.

That was Sensational Senri Kawaguchi 🎸🎷🎹🎺🎻🥁🎶🎵☮️🙏☯️🥢✌️...

Put aside Weckl .. Senri is the world’s best drummer now

Long story short... Senri, you are a GREAT GREAT GREAT drummer!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep the good drumming!!!!!!!

Such fun to watch her play. Brilliant drummer and such a nice person

She has so much swagg while she's playing! Its seems like this is so easy for her!!! I love how she speeds up and slows down a points gosh! She is so good!!

I've been watching senrii since she was young an she has become a outstanding drummer

ありがとうございます！すごいです！ Well that was just amazing. Thank you for uploading this. Your playing is such a joy to watch, I didn't expect to watch the whole thing. But I did, and enjoyed every second. RL with only one drum part is quite interesting... Particularly enjoyed the little stick flip you threw in there. And your English was fine, the distinction between r and l is difficult and very different to りor る etc as I'm finding in learning the Japanese pronunciation of the latter.

The joy in her face when she plays is so infectious. I am smiling while watching her play.

She is fantastic, so ELEGANT , stransmitting joy. her movements are so natural and effortless despite the difficulty of what she plays. Senri..... another alien on this earth.

I think I have now another favorite drummer! Not only she has a great technique, but also a great groove and I love these fusion tracks..it’s funny how she speaks with that tiny voice and then becomes literally a demon when she plays lol..:D

The dynamics I think is what really impresses me the most. She compliments the music in such an incredible way.

She's fluently and so easy going, even when she was younger. I like her own style. 👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🌷🌷🌷"The Senri touch."👍👍👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷♥️♥️♥️

Incredible. Simply incredible. I haven't even landed yet.

PEACE BE WITH YOU SENRI!!!! I AM YOUR BIG FAN HERE IN SAUDI. I ALSO PLAY THE DRUMS WITH MY BAND BUT WHEN I SEE YOU PLAYING AND BEATING THE DRUMS, I AM MESMERIZED, MY JAW DROPS IN AWE. YES YOU ARE A LITTLE SHY, BUT YOU ARE SO CONFIDENT BEATING THOSE DRUMS AND CYMBALS. GO, ENJOY YOUR MUSIC.

This was absolutely fantastic! A ray of sunshine during lockdown!

I absolutely love the music that she chooses to play to. This is extreme entertainment at it's highest level.

Some may say that there are very few others better than her ... But when Senri plays in a band ... She gets all the focus ... Her stick work is just mesmerising .. Her foot work out of this world .. This and her unassuming modest personality make her so cuptivating to watch .. Now I use Senri as a benchmark for other drummers ..

右足と左足、別人みたい、、、兎に角凄い、躊躇がまるで無い。

thank you somuch for uploading this! Such an amazing performance, you're one of my favorite drummers ever

Absolutely incredible. Precise meter, and incredibly precise drumming. I could watch for hours. THANK YOU SENRI!

She now has a permanent address, a condo, if you will, in the lofty heights where the likes of Weckl, Chambers, and Cobham dwell. Not bad for a woman of 23 years. What she might accomplish in the next few decades absolutely boggles the mind. Incredible.

Omg Senri is the cutest person in this world! I just love her attitude, she is one of the best drummers and she is the nicest ☺️

10/10 performance, 10/10 mixing

She rips off your head, then says 'Thank you'.

A joy to watch as always!

Senri has developed a masterful ability to bring music alive with her drumming. And her spirit and smile are brilliant. She is one of the most amazing drummers on the planet.

LOVE watching that happy face. So expressive.

So superb as usual. Ms. Kawaguchi seems to be fancily dressed for this all-by-herself performance. This solitude allows us to enjoy the sight of her unmasked face.

Just superb as usual Senri, Thanks for playing for everybody :)

"The Double Kick Smile" is damn near as joyous as her playing:-) GREATNESS!!!!!

最高でした！ ありがとうございました！🙏🏻

What a remarkeable talent! What I also admire is the confidence and ease of playing. Senri, please continue to develop your skills and keep innovating.

Thank you so much for bringing this light to the darkness of the quarantine! It is an absolute joy watching you play. Through the power of KZfaq, I feel i have watched you grow up, and you have become a true master, really one of the greatest of all time. I don't beg very often, but please, please come to the USA sometime!

Man man man that second song, unbelievable 🙏👍👍.

Amazing, as always

I could watch her all day, so cool..definitely from another galaxy. ☄

It's such a pleasure to listen to and watch you play.

Very enjoyable! Thanks for honoring us with your performance, Senri 🙏🥁

Thank you so much for including Longing Skyline, love that song.

Always in awe at her effortless timing. Truly a drum goddess 💕

Perfection! Great Energy!! Thanks Senri!!

Awesome job on the drums you blown away with your playing

Senri seems to be much more relaxed in this performance (except in some of the fast and solo sections). She looks particularly joyful too. Superb performance as always.

Incredible Senri! Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your gift with the world!

Yay! It's nice to see you more! Your English is great by the way :D I love you and your videos! Keep up the awesome work!

This was so crazy to watch. Made me want to get straight back on my kit and start practicing asap

Mezmerizing, as always =) Thanks for that !!!

Simply Amazing!

Wow, u are amazing! Didn't hear something like this since last Billy Cobham concert. I thought that nobody could play as good as him, but now I know that you really are capable of anything, even playing his songs without any difficulties!

I have followed Senri's playing for years and I love watching her play. She has all the qualities of all my hero drummers all rolled into one person. Senri you are simply amazing!!!

So much joy, groove, and mastery. Just wonderful!

That's a stunning set. I don't think I breathed throughout the last number. Wow!!!

Always left in awe, watching/listening. Simply the best.

Damn this is so good senri!! You never cease to amaze me. Bring it all Senri san I'll never tire of watching your great drumming. Love from Barcelona, Spain

almost brought a tear to my eye to watch the emmense joy of playing.senri you are a true star and that was so good:)

You are such a perfectionist! Loved the break down in the second song which you were right was a very aggressive song! You make me smile when you smile! That’s when i know you’re really enjoying what you do!
