Stories of Tamu Murata loves drums
Murata started loving drums at a tender age, and that impressed her parents so much.
They were convinced that it was the right thing for their daughter, but they did not know what to do. However, they saw it better to buy her a drum kit even though she was still young.

She worked on her projects for two years after leaving Soramimi. However, in 2019, she joined the famous Nemophila band. Nemophila band consists of five members with different roles.

She once revealed that her best food is curry. She has a large fan base in Japan, which she has extended to other parts of the world in the past few years. When she was asked what made her succeed in drumming, she said she had dedicated her whole life to the career.
She also admits that this job requires hard work and focus. She revealed that she was greatly inspired by most European drummers, including Dave Lombardo, Mike Portnoy, and Charlie Benante, among many others.
According to Murata, new age drumming has great potential because it has an incredible foundation laid by the previous drummers.
Many instruments are being made to aid the drummers in making the best tunes and producing the best songs.
