AKIRA JIMBO - WASABI

This DVD is a must for electronic “e-drummers”. Akira Jimbo combines acoustic and electronic drums to create a kind of one man orchestra. His coordination skills to play this hybrid set up are second to none and the mind blowing acoustic drum solos within the tunes will, I’m sure, have you agreeing with me that Akira is one of the greatest musical talents in the world on any instrument.
The theme of the DVD is how to add spice to your playing and get creative on the drum set and Akira describes his ideas very clearly and concisely.

Warning: Akira’s level of technique, honed over a lifetime of consistent, focused practice, mixed with a natural musical genius can be frightening to behold.
