Drummer Dopers: Is this girl good or what?

I love the anime series K-ON! and the music in it. So maybe I’m prejudiced. I’m also an old drummer, albeit one who hasn’t played regularly in many years. But this strikes me as an* outstanding* performance. It’s certainly more complicated than the 4/4 rock 'n roll rhythms I played back in the day. Is this as good as I think it is or is it just “good for a kid her age” good.

No expert comment on the drumming, as I’m no drummer. But WTF is the singing frog all about? :slight_smile: Oh Japan, never stop being mental.

She’s a very good drummer compared to the average drummer. IMHO though she lacks finesse, a sense of dynamics, and her playing is a bit ragged in a few spots. For 13yo she’s outstanding, but no prodigy.

I don’t know, but this girl certainly is!!

Actually, I think it’s the same girl, but I don’t read enough* Japanese to be positive.

*okay, no Japanese at all

My younger son, who’s a drummer, said he thinks she’s good for any age. She could really change it up.
