The Multitalented Drummer And Pianist.. Yoshiki [ X - JAPAN]

Profile of Yoshiki Hayashi


Name: Yoshiki Hayashi


Also Know As: Yoshiki


Date of Birth: 20th November 1965


Place of Birth: Chiba, Japan


Profession: Composer



Yoshiki is a Japanese musician- superstar. He is most renowned as a founding member of the former band X Japan.

Biography

Yoshiki Hayashi (born November 20, 1965) was born in Tateyama, Chiba, Japan.

He started playing the piano at the age of 4. His mother was a piano teacher and taught him herself. When Yoshiki was ten years old his father committed suicide. This tragedy and the ensuing trauma threw Yoshiki completely into his music. He grew out long hair and took up playing the drums to release his anger and pain.

A great fan of Western bands, particularly KISS, while in middle school Yoshiki came to enlist childhood friend Toshimitsu Deyama as a member of his rock band X. A handful of other members came and went, but in 1985 the lineup finally emerged with Yoshiki on drums and piano, Toshi on vocals, Hideto Matsumoto (nickname hide, always in lowercase) on guitar, Tomoaki Ishizuka (Pata) on guitar, and Taiji Sawada on bass.

In 1986 Yoshiki's mother sold her business to promote the band, whose music was too angry and aggressive for an existing label to support, so they started their own label called Extasy Records. By 1987 the band was taking off, with the hit singles Orgasm and I'll Kill You, and next year their first album Vanishing Vision. On September 1, 1989 the bands song Kurenai placed

5th in its first week on the Oricon Charts. They were the first indies band to reach the chart. In 1992, the band changed its name from X to X Japan. The reason was so that people wouldn't get them confused with bands named X in Australia and Los Angeles, USA. At this time Taiji (bass) left the band and was replace with Heath. The band was reached its final and most well known line-up.

The band's appearance became milder. They no longer had spiky hair by the time they held the legendary concert in Tokyo Dome in 1992, Hammettsu ni Mukatte (On the Verge of Destruction), though most of the members retained their long hair. Around 1994, Yoshiki cut his long hair and kept it short until now

. The only member who still retained a sense of psychedelic apperaance was hide, being famous for his short pink-and-black hair and eccentric personality.

In 1997, Toshi decided to leave the band. In 22nd September 1997 the band announced their dissolution and had their last concert at the Tokyo Dome in December of that year. The concert, called The Last Live, was almost a replica of their earlier tour: Dahlia Tour, but with an unprecedented sad ambience. After the band broke up Yoshiki and Toshi went their separate ways, and Yoshiki continued to run his company. X Japan left the stage as Japan's most influential and imitated band ever.

Even during the throes of X Japan's wild popularity, he managed to scout out and promote other Japanese rock bands of notable worth (e.g. Glay in around '92-'93, Dir en grey in around '98); therefore, with the role of "musician" so suddenly retired, Yoshiki was able to focus and hone his efforts as a producer. After the sudden death of hide on 2nd May 1998, Yoshiki fell into a great depressio

n, and vowed never to play the drums again. He moved to Los Angeles and stayed out of the public for 2 years.

In 2000, he opened up Extasy Records International and Extasy Records North (a recording studio) up in Hollywood, California. He considered a memorial concert for hide to be done in 2002, but cancelled due to it being too 'commercial'. By then Yoshiki was at work once more, this time to finalize a private project called "Violet UK", on which he had been hatching for 10 years. "Violet UK" is scheduled to be released on the 22nd of September, 2005, the 8-year anniverary of the disbanding of X-Japan.

2002 also saw Yoshiki's return to the pop music scene by joining the Japanese pop band globe (always in lowercase), in which he still is a member. Yoshiki also has collaborated with other famous musicians, including Tetsuya Komuro or globe in '92 in the production of the song Eyes of Venus and Virginity; George M

artin producer of The Beatles in the production of Eternal Melody in around '92; and Roger Taylor of Queen in production of the song Foreign Sand, and expressed his creativity through various avenues. He has shook hands with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi during campaign season, who claims to be a huge fan of X Japan.

Fans of Yoshiki may remember him most from his heavy visual days with X Japan, when his extreme personal style and effeminate dress was almost a literal representation of the Japanese bishounen aesthetic. He was then an enigmatic man who was just as easily a demon tearing up his drums as a gentle, living doll seated before a crystal piano; and while nowadays Yoshiki prefers to stand behind the curtains as a sophisticated businessman, he is no less busy in the music industry, and spends his time between Tokyo, Japan, and Los Angeles, California.

Rock & Review ! Greatest Drumsets !


Through these years there have been drums sets that come and go.

From expensive to exotic, from sunlite to slingerland. there have been relatively few that really stand out.


Wondering through the interwebs like i do, i came across a forum that has a nice listing of ridiculously massive drum sets. lots of good information on the forum, even a set that's got everything, including a kitchen sink!


Some of my gavs from this list are: Terry Bozzio's (giving the church organist a run for her money on the pedal usage), Mike Portnoy's Eric Carr's *Tank Set*, and Tony Roysters Jr's Tony's has an interesting lift-kit on the bass drums for some reason. Not sure how it workds, but it looks interesting. im sure that turnpike's drummer could really do a number on any one of these, especially if it was painted glow-in-the-dark hot pink.


My all-time favorite drum set award (and stage construction) goes to the trap used by the visual timekeeper himself, robert sweet in the video "always there for you" from the in god we trust album in '88. The quad-bass , right-hand, left-hand Dark set was the drum set I took my cues from when it came time to purchase my first set.


Feel free to add your interesting drum set observations to the comments, I'd like to take a gander at 'em.
