We sat down with Fuyu Murata, calling in from Tokyo, for a conversation that runs from a jazz-soaked New York childhood to one of the most distinctive drum channels on YouTube. He talks about growing up around Jimmy Smith, Ron Carter and Grady Tate, turning down a full Berklee scholarship to stay with his band, and the one-take videos where he plays songs he has never heard with no hints. We also get into his new Jam Joint live album with Tokyo's top young players, drumming gloves, rudiments, and why he treats himself like a half athlete. If you have ever wondered how a session drummer reads a song on the fly, this one is for you.
