Murasaki

"The drummer's a bit rough around the edges. They call him wild child for a reason. This youngster's sense of rhythm is uncanny, and when it matters most, his sticks are always there to lead the way with a wicked beat barrage. He really gives his all on stage—if you look closely you might catch him weeping during a drum solo."

When he played in Squid Squad, Murasaki was portrayed as a person with a lot of energy and potential, even though he did not use a wide variety of techniques, with his drum fills simply being a repeated hit of the snare. According to a live from the Squid Research Lab, though, he gives his best on stage, to the point of even shedding tears during his solos.
