Ryosule Kiyasu is a pioneering snare-drum soloist who has redefined percussion since 2003. Alongside his viral 2018 Berlin set (23 million+ views. also featured by BBC News and VICE), he drums for noise-grind duo SETE STAR SEPT, the Kiyasu Orchestra, Keiji Haino’s Fushitsusha, and co-founded Canada’s cult hardcore unit The Endless Blockade. From Überschlag—the world’s largest classical-percussion festival—to Finland’s Outsider Art Festival and Dr. Martens Fest, Kiyasu’s 2022-24 itinerary placed him on premier stages across Europe. His performance film at the 2023 Edinburgh Art Festival sparked art-world buzz, while a capsule line with Swedish label Our Legacy pushed his aesthetic into fashion. With 200-plus releases spanning solo work and band discographies, Kiyasu continues to tour globally, delivering a singular, high-impact blend of extreme dynamics, physicality, and avant-garde vision that has made the snare drum a headline instrument.
