Although he did not start playing drums until he was 17, Akira has become a master of his art form and is practically a household name in his home country of Japan.Akira became the full-time drummer in the internationally renowned group Casiopea in 1980. In his 10-year tenure with the band, he was recognized for his unique playing style and intricate techniques. With Casiopea, Akira released over a dozen albums, toured the world three times, and quickly established himself as something of a musical phenomenon in Japan. It was during this period that he refined his abilities as a composer and studio artist. After Casiopea, Akira formed Jimsaku in 1989 to explore new and different musical possibilities.In addition to the studio and solo projects, he has also released four instructional videos: Metamorphosis, Pulse, Independence and Evolution. Throughout his career, Akira Jimbo has utilized his Yamaha drums and DTX electronics exclusively as tools to channel his creative energy. Yamaha is proud to be associated with such a talented performer for 35 years. And now, Akira wants to share some of his knowledge, insight, and talent with you.
