SYNOPSIS

Known for his explosive energy and genre-bending creativity, drummer Akira Ishikawa pushed Japanese jazz into bold new territory. Drums Method is one of his most powerful statements—a hard-hitting mix of funk, fusion, and percussive experimentation. With driving rhythms, searing grooves, and Ishikawa’s trademark command of the kit, the record blurs the line between instructional showcase and full-on performance. A cult favorite among collectors, it remains a deep cut that captures the spirit of Japan’s 1970s jazz-funk underground.
