Is Akane from Band Maid one of the best rock drummers of all time?
I've created this highlight reel to put the argument out there that she should be in this conversation. The truly great & memorable drummers contribute to the signature sound of their band - Akane does this in spades.
Always serving the song but with her quick (and heavy) hands and feet she is always busy on the drums - not just a backbeat drummer - but one that often makes you wonder just how many limbs she actually has.
With her big goofy smile she is one of the most animated drummers as well, looking like she really does enjoy hitting things very fast and very hard. Great skills and a great personality to boot!

Thank you for this wonderful highlight reel of Akane. She, like the rest of her friends/sisters/bandmates is a joy to watch and her wonderful smile, while drumming, brings joy to my heart and I bet others. I don’t know of many other drummers that write out the musical score for their drum parts. Akane does. Akane like the rest of Band-Maid are humble individuals and yet consummate musicians pursuing excellence in their craft while bringing so much joy.
Many thanks for watching :) An old saying - "Beauty is a weapon and a smile is its sword." Akane knows how to wield that sword! lol She's my number 1 drummer..
She's got the best smile on stage.
Yep! Most drummers look like they are holding in a fart on stage, not Akane - she is having the time of her life :)
Thanks for putting this together. Akane is by far my favorite rock drummer. I have a pair of her signature drumsticks that were given to me. I've seen Band-Maid live 8 times, including the Yokohama and August Hall shows that appear in this video. Her drumming is just so spicy and captivating, and I love her double kick and intricate fills. I saw Band-Maid last month at Day of Maid and they opened with Black Hole - what a way to blast into the set!
I'm saving hard to go see them in Japan next year, can't wait to hear Akane live. She is top of my list of drummers as well. She is very key to their detailed sound.
Thanks for all you hard work. It was a pleasure to watch. Akane doesn't play drums, she plays music on her drums. Everything she plays has a purpose within the song. It's one thing to play hard and loud, it's totally another to do it with so much musicality. The professor (rip) retired for a reason in 2015, he had to pass the torch to Akane. Cheers!
Every new release I listen to what she is doing first. Agree...she brings the rhythm..
There are technically skilled drummers all over the place but Akane's ability to read the music and play what is needed to enhance its sound is amazing..... !!
Yep all pro drummers are skilled, but Akane is on another level when it comes to enhancing their music.
I have been playing drums for decades, played in HS marching band. In college drummer in club bands, performed 100's of shows live. That was a few decades ago, but love music and really enjoy Akane's playing. She does many things I love. Her relaxed style while playing fast tempos and often complex patterns on the toms and double bass pedals that fits the music brings me joy.
"Joy" is the apt word for her - she plays with it and she gives it to us. It's rare that a drummer in a band can be so responsible for the so many of the band's fans.
I'm not qualified to judge "best rock drummer", but she's certainly the most JOYOUS rock drummer I've seen, and the one who makes me smile the most. I'd rather watch/listen to her than any other drummer on the planet.
Yeah I'd happily watch her do a sound check for a couple of hours. Her latest drum piece on BM Prime is a great example of why she's so good & popular. Thanks for watching :)
The skill of AKANE is that her playing never intrudes into a song. It can drive a song along and it can add depth to any piece. But it is never show off until that smile lights up the room and she is encouraged to enjoy herself. I do know she is my favourite.
Many thanks, she rocketed into 1st place for me. Those first few BM videos I clicked on she really stood out. Oh man, that drummer!
Akane is amazing indeed 🎉
Thanks for this wonderful compilation!
Many thanks for you fancams :) I clicked on Thrill 3 years and two days ago - then I watched so many of your 2019 videos - those up close videos showed how great they were. I was hook, line and moe moe :)
What a privilege it must be for Akane to have the best bassist ON THE PLANET as your rhythm section partner.
I'd be very happy to see just Akane and Misa on stage cranking it out. They are the Thunder Buddies :)
One of the best rock drummers of all time, playing for the best band of all time!!! Akane plays at a the highest level with the most gorgeous smile. Thanks for putting this video together….I can’t help but LOVE Akane ❤❤
The detail in her drumming is extraordinary...a pleasure to put together ...many thanks :)
Very nice compilation. Akane is a true gift with her incredible skill and infectious smile, as she ROCKS our world.
Her exuberance is infectious :) if she played guitar or sang she would be wild out front :) but I'm super glad she's a drummer!
Misa was looking through her bass hole!
lol :) we need a Misa & Akane variety show!
Awesome. A fantastic selection of bright moments. Thank you!
Many thanks, and so many more moments I left out to keep it short-ish :)
Awesome Akane .
Very much so :)
Akane is my favorite, and she's hilarious. Great personality and she's gorgeous
She is :) Super player and super personality!
Amaidzing work.! Thanks for sharing this.. And yeah...
BANANAAAAAAAA.... 🍌
Many thanks!
Nice,as good a compilation as I've seen,happy I found your channel 👏
Many thanks Larry :) hope you enjoy!
A wonderful tribute to our favourite drumming Gorilla! Thank you!
Many thanks!
Excelente trabajo!! Gracias... y
Akane!! Akane!! Akane!!!
Muchas gracias!! :)
In _Daydreaming_ you noted her backing the lead vocal but never intruding, she does the same behind (a very nervous) Miku in _-Time-_ ETA >> _TIME_ in the Line Cube concert recording - she backs off on the snare during the verses but still hits it with authority and somehow it just fits perfectly.
She is a very nuanced player. As much as I love her pounding the drums in the quick stuff, it's the little bits she does in the mid-slower tempo stuff too. I will check out Time form LCS today...many thanks.
Akane is so dang cool as well as proficient. Thank you for sharing these moments. (p.s. I have seen BAND-MAID live twice and A-chan is amazing.)
Many thanks. I can't wait to see and hear her drum live. Her drumming made me keep clicking on their videos early on.
Singing drum. and Banana Hero!!!
Oh Yeah!! Long may she continue...
Love your Band-Maid member highlight reels and would like to know if you will be doing a Miku and Saiki reel as well.
Yes, eventually - Saiki is next on the list :) many thanks for watching :)
Akane and Senri Kawaguchi are my favorite drummers.
Senri is awesome too! I found another called Yuriko Seki [former drummer for Tokyo Groove Jyoshi] who's got some great drum solos on CZcams. Thanks for watching :)
Loved it well put together. The mighty smiling Gorilla would love it too! She would be the most fun to party with IMO!
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO! 🍌
Many thanks, you bet she would be the life of a party :)
