L-R:  Kambei on bass and occasionally on drums, Heihachi on guitar, Kyuzo on drums, Shichiroji on keytar, Kikuchiyo on giant guitar, Katsushiro on guitar.  Gorobei is absent because he’s probably getting interviewed or he’s making sure the stage is set up properly at the village.

I don’t know about Kyuzo as the drummer.  Maybe he would normally do very low-key stuff like Tom Petty’s drummer, but every once in a while he would destroy reality with a masterful drum solo.  Maybe he and Kambei trade off on the drums and bass.

Really, though, I think Kyuzo should just have his sword and cut things to pieces on stage.
