Teacher/School: Joe Bergamini / Tatsuya Oono

Hi, I’m Naru, and I’m a 13 year old Japanese student.
I’ve been playing drums for 3 and a half years.

This is my 3rd challenge for the HLAG Contest.
Because of this contest, I got so many drummer friends all over the world.
I communicate with them on SNS and even face to face.
We talk not only about drums but went shopping! And became real friends.

Sometimes, I wonder, how I spend days without drums.
Maybe my life would be boring.
I join in several bands and go to concerts every weekend.
My life is full of music and happiness.

I have brought MY BAND with me for this year’s entry!!
My BAND mates are like my AVATAR who represent me in another world and they always enhance my interpretation of the music.

Please can you spare 4 minutes of your time?
I am pleased to present “Warp Field”, where we take you to another world instantly.

Everyone around me supports me and this time they helped me with this video.

I’ll be happy if you enjoy my drumming and video.

Thank you.

    I love the song and I love the way you play it. Very crisp but also melodic. It is amazing that you have this much talent after only three years of playing the drums. I have played for almost 20 years and don’t do it as well as you do. Congratulations!
