- Hello Drum Nerds, hope you're well. Join me as we explore 🥁BAND MAID'S "GIOVANNI" Gets A Reaction From A Drummer!😬
The clips that were sent to me are excellent learning tools as it's a pure drum cam and as such allows us to see everything Hirose is doing. It's a beautiful thing.
Also, if you wish to support my journey to Japan to hopefully do some filming with her once we hit 10,000 subs, donate here:

Thank you!
This is the instrumental version of Giovanni. They also have a version with lyrics.
Here is some suggestions of drum cams: Tatsuya Amano in Crossfaith : th-cam.com/video/0I7Hp7SVxFI/w-d-xo.html , FUMIYA in Unlucky Morpheus th-cam.com/video/BSbZZC2Lmvo/w-d-xo.html or Takurou in the band Valhalla th-cam.com/video/U2iWL0cS2Ok/w-d-xo.html ,
There's the drum only version ant music shared if you are interested
The kit is a Tama Starclassic Bubinga and normally she uses a Ludwig black beauty snare I think, although she has a variety of other snares
Akane is total nerd. Great picture of her coming out of a drum store in Califórnia with a new snare.
She writes her part(s) on screen and only then learns how to do it.
Mincho always chooses the hardest version.
When they can all play it she cranks the speed up and it's another few weeks of practice. Not a band who sit down and jam and come away with a one riff wonder.
Love the idea of a Band Maid Monday. Giovanni is such an interesting song. 3 songs blended into one IMO
Thanks, man, you're always articulating stuff I feel instinctively, but don't get as a layperson. Believe it or not, Giovanni has vocals, so there's another musical line and lyrics to blow your mind even more.
Great reaction. I listened to the full song after this and the way the song is changed by Saiki's vocals is pretty amazing. You should listen to the full song too! It's almost a different song.
Colin, I am supremely jealous of your drum ears. I only hear what you hear after you point it out and walk me through it 😏
Her main kit is a Tama Starclassic (Bubinga). The red color is based on her figurine of Asuka Langley Soryu (Neon Genesis Evangelion) that she brought to the factory.
A true otaku
I'm really happy that my nerdy knowledge didn't let me down and I was able to see it was Tama Starclassic. Bubinga wood is a fabulous hard would that makes delicious, low end punchy sound. It's such a great wood to use. Be well.
Nope, it’s a bubinga Star Custom kit custom made for her with shallower depth toms.
You’re right about the color though.
@@DRUMNERD
This is not the blue Starclassic kit she uses on overseas tours
It’s her bubinga Star Custom kit with shallower toms made to her spec to match Emily.
Emily is her red and pink sparkle Sakae Almighty Maple kit from when she was a Sakae artist before they went out of business.
Akane's kick patterns are my fav in the world right now. Something about them are so satisfying.
If all I wanted to do is listen to the band I wouldn't be on your channel I would be on theirs. Thanks for your insight...
Have you find balance yet? It's very interesting.
I’ve looked that up, is it the same song as unleash? I see the two titles coming up and have done unleash already. Pardon my ignorance if not, just trying to avoid doubling things up. Be well.
Thanks for pausing and analyzing Drum Nerd! Band Maid makes beautiful beautiful rock music. And they have the drummer they need to do it.
Thank you again Colin ! When you finally interview Akane, i hope you nerd out and speak " Drum-anese " ...Fan-boying is for OTHER reactors ! Side note : I don't know WHAT a Las Vegas and Florida Stanley Cup final even means...(I hate to admit ... it'll probably be epic ). It's kinda the drumming equivalent of having a kit made entirely of marshmallows !... Doesn't make sense...but Oh, SO tasty !
This song has walk-to-wall vocals that were stripped out for this play-through. You must check out the original, even on your own time. You can hear the guitar just enough to know Kanami is going bonkers but not how bonkers. But Saiki and Miku rule on this song.
You may even find the live video for this. I love watching that one.
She’s a Tama artist and the snare is a Ludwig 5x14 Black Beauty.
The kit is a custom bubinga Tama Star.
Great!
'Giovanni' is one of my Band-Maid favorites because of the funky rhythm changes that Akane and Misa do. Kanami and Miku are doing mostly classic rock, but this piece gets funky/improv jazzy and and when you add Saiki and Miku's vocals there are spoken almost rap-like elements. This piece is a true genre blender (set the Osterizer on 11)
At that time Akane was using TAMA STAR Bubinga and still is, as far as I know. Band-Maid had been upgrading their gear since the October '22 US tour, but I don't know if Akane has been making any changes. Her Bass usually features the TAMA logo above the BAND-MAID logo, but when I saw them in Detroit and Columbus the TAMA logo was missing. She was using a silver set in Columbus., but it looks like a red set in Detroit. OTH, the applique for the BAND-MAID logo has been slowly delaminating during performances: in Columbus the AID in MAID was slowly falling off. The A was hanging on by its leading leg on the last song of the set. There was a tiny logo that I could not read at the *bottom* of the bass skin that sorta but not quite looked like "Yamaha", so I dunno. I am guessing Akane needed a last minute replacement front head with a hole and they took what was available.
The album version has vocals. It’s actually a fantastic song. Only behind Sayonakidori and sometimes Manners. 😆
I think its generally best to hear the origional song before the instrumental version - its kinda overwhelming and confusing its so busy - and then listening and watching this video helps you make sense of the song with its singing - but I get why as a drummer you want to see the version that has a drum cam :) I do hope you have gone and listened to the origional song too for yourself tho!
Giovanni is monstrous , po!
This version of Giovanni you're watching was the instrumental version of the full song with lyrics. This version was released with the First Press Limited Edition of Unseen World is not on their official channel. It is bonus DVD/Blu-ray material only available if you bought the album.
Even with 10,000 subs, going to Japan and then landing an interview with Akane is unlikely unless you have some really good connections somewhere.
Plus she doesn't speak English so you'll need a translator.
Don't listen to them. Dream big. Hey, try connecting with Tamu while you are there.
Go for it. Maybe try to reach her thru the drum co, Tama. The band's management seems to be lacking in the PR dept.
Thanks for that, I know the head rep for Tama (UK division) so he may be able to assist. I'll sure try and see what comes of it, either way, I'm very excited for this journey. Be well.
Your channel title is so accurate. 👍😎
Hahaha, thank you very much. Every time that gets confirmed to me, it makes my day! Hope you’re well and happy Sunday.
@@DRUMNERD Thanks. Sunday evening for me so chill time. It almost is funny the negative comments you get by analysing the drummers, in this case Akane, technique and how the different sounds are achieved. There are countless head nod, corr love a chick in uniform reactions to Band Maid. Of course they masquerade as genuine reactors and those folks with the negative comments, that follow that formula, love them and positively hate anyone who dares to wander from that mantra.
@@Glynthepin Well hope you have a very wonderful and relaxing Sunday eve. Thank you also for the words of support. I have seen a few of those people and can't say it does much for me. The haters just enjoy trolling, as long as my nerdy rants help people, inform some and make for a fun experience; my job is done. Maybe soon I'll break down my dissertation and bore the entire world Be well.
This is one of their many instrumentals.
The last time I checked her drum kit (a while ago now) it was a Tama Star Classic Bubinga Custom, often with a Lugwig Black Beauty snare, dw hard wear/pedals, mostly Zildjian symbals and Wincent 5A (I think) sticks- I use the same.
She was a Sakai artist u til they went out of business.
You’ll see her playing a custom pink and red sparkle kit in a lot of videos.
That’s her Sakai kit she called Emily.
Mozart meets the Foo fighters and Dave Brubeck.
I hope you get to meet Akane in the near future.
When Kanami programs the drums when she write the songs Akane will often complain, "This drum part cannot be played by a human." But she always comes up with something. So I think it's good that Kanami challenges her to do that. To come up with something that she can play. Of course MISA does her thing on the bass to fit it in the Rhythm Section. Probably the tightest in the business. Of course Kanami plays Miku's part for her. It's just cheaper and quicker. But then after Kanami teaches it to Miku, Miku has to write the lyrics and teach Saiki her part. So it's very much a collaborative effort for the entire band. But yes, her drums are Tama, not Pearl.
She uses a Tama kit
Love the react to bandmaid and my love akane! Happy that you will be breaking down more bandmaid more often and I'll see you soon!❤😉🤘🤘🤘
Glad you're enjoying the channel so far! Hope to see you shortly as well. Be well.
Giovanni is basically pure jazz
Hey, would you mind expanding? I a simple rock listener ("Too old to rock'n'roll, too young to die.") I'm curious about how jazz influence their music.
@@throwaway9389 it's on many levels and also linked to their classical music background. Every theme "riff" is not just repeated but developed, and each piece has more than one. Every solo grows out of the overall music, rather than an unconnected egofest, each instrument gets it's role, and there is great complexity but it never tips over into our of control. But on the other hand it's more like Gershwin than Miles Davis (or other rock) because it's all carefully composed, mainly in Mincho's head initially, and written down in some form, before they practice playing it. So they frequently compose parts that they cannot yet play, and when they can after practice, they drastically up the speed and have to practice more, this is almost unique even in classical music for an ensemble. It gives them that special factor that very few other artists have. Mostly artists build a piece from elements they can already play and work it out with the instrument in their hands. Both kanami and misa might start on the piano or in Kanami's case in her head. Even akane starts on paper or on a drum program and composes stuff she's going to take weeks to learn to play. They push each other. Very different to the norm.
@@stevekane4922 Nice observations. They are very deliberate but it seems natural at the same time. People notice how these instrumental versions change without vocals but are still coherent pieces of music. Each part is so musical that if you listen to just the drums, or just the bass, it still sounds like a piece of music. Akane isn't sitting back there hitting on 2 and 4 for the whole song. She's writing phrases and developing them, as you said. Misa does the same and they integrate so well that it is sort of amazing they each can stand alone as music. It's sort of like Dixieland Jazz in a way, everyone is off doing their own thing but it all nests so tightly together. I'll never get tired of them.
@@surfingasongwave yeah dixieland and it's development is very much what I have in mind. Also the masterful tightness and orchestration of swing.
JUNNA latest drum cover Lux Aeterna(Metallica), Pain Killer(Judas Priest)🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
A-chan A-chan A-chan!!!!!
Is that you phonetically telling me how it should be pronounced? Be well.
@@DRUMNERD no just Her Nick name as given to her by Her Band Mates :) sounded as AHH-chan
I understand you really appreciate Akane's skill on the drums. So now you should start practicing how her name actually sounds. Ah-Kah-Nay He-Roh-Say
tama star series
あかねはあんよがとても綺麗だよw。
Copied from another page on the internet: In 2016, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin caught a performance of Band-Maid in Tokyo and asked for a photo-op with their drummer, Akane Hirose. Reportedly he told her that she was like a reincarnation of John Bonham.
