#StDrums is the explosive solo project and creative identity of Tokyo-based percussionist Yuji "Rerure" Kawaguchi. While widely recognised for his viral "guerrilla" performances and a custom-built suitcase drum kit that has travelled the globe, he is far more than a street performer; he is one of Japan's most versatile and respected session musicians.
His technical prowess and high-velocity style—often described as a "live-action Squarepusher"—have seen him command stages ranging from underground London clubs to the massive crowds of the Fuji Rock Festival. Kawaguchi’s reputation for precision and intensity has led to high-profile collaborations with legendary figures, most notably performing with the renowned Japanese composer and electronic pioneer Susumu Hirasawa.
With an international footprint that spans tours across the UK, Europe, and Australia, #STDRUMS bridges the gap between primitive rhythm and futuristic electronica. Whether he is busking in the London Underground or supporting avant-garde icons, his mission remains the same: to redefine the drum kit as a lead instrument capable of driving a rave, a rock show, or a cinematic masterpiece.
