That drummer man.... he just has his own sound

[@jerbear97]

it sounds like every other math rock drummer tbh, but i'm not saying it's bad

[@masterbeat04]

@@jerbear97 nah fam. Ya gotta listen closer

[@jerbear97]

@@masterbeat04 if you listen _really_ close, every drummer has their own sound.

[@wolfumz]

@@jerbear97 I'd argue this drummer's style is more jazz influenced/soulful than your average math rock drummer, his feel is very distinct imo. Takashi plays _a_ _lot_ of notes, he's highly energetic, even frenzied. It's true even for his non-math rock projects- he loves to fill up the space he's given. What makes him a masterful drummer is that even though he's playing a lot, his work never sounds overcrowded because of his volume control and disciplined control of rhythm. There are some math rock drummers that sound similar, but to me, the conventional 'every other math rock drummer' sounds much more trimmed down, controlled, or even spartan compared to Toe.

[@damesoumbi]

@@jerbear97 I’m guessing you’re not a musician. it’s easy to disregard and/or be blind to stylistic subtleties in music if you’re not

[@CRABPEOPLE]

Thank you, Toe. I've listened to you guys ever since college was tough, living alone was rough, relationships were breaking, friends were hurting. You enabled me to restart again. Thank you for your music. I wouldn't be here without you, guys. Stay phenomenal.

12 years later, long tomorrow is still one of the finest music I have ever experienced. Love toe!

Toe is the type of band that God listens to.

What?! I thought God was doing the drum man.

[@rokrboy92]

their drummer is something else

[@literallyfigurativelystali2844]

For real. You could recognize this dude's groove if he was tapping on a saucepan on the other side of the house. He's nuts.

[@barbells_and_guitars]

I can't stop coming back to this band. They have such a unique sound that gets down to my soul. Very few bands have done that to me. Incredible music.

[@zaq9187]

Agree! The other bands that I've watched touches my heart but this band reach my soul.

[@swisspunker94]

this is the only band i know where the live / not fully mastered versions of their songs just sound better than their recordings on the album. These songs gain so much from a live performance its surreal, one of my all time favorite bands!!!

[@alchu729]

テクニックとは　　正確性、緻密さだったり難度だったりそういったことを表すものでもありますが 感情、思いを楽器と繋ぐもの、と定義したならこれほどテクニカルなバンドは他にない。

[@oku741]

ライブで感動した世界中の方々からのコメントに、toeを聴いていることで見ず知らずの知らない世界の方々と繋がっているようで胸が熱くなります。 ありがとうございます。

[@dominicijavier1575]

love how the keyboard player was just chillin

[@RyanIsARecluse]

Man, Ionno why but every time I hear Latest Number it always makes me cry. Their music has such a wonderfully human quality about it that transcends language barriers and hits you right in the feels. I will always be grateful they exist and that I got to see them once and had my mind completely blown.

[@julianrodriguez2207]

I was lucky to see them play live in Shanghai, 2019. I traveled alone from another city two hours away just to go see them, and it was really worthy, a once-in-a-life-time experience.

[@soysinyo]

Same here, Barcelona in 2016, travelled from a city 5 hours away. Definitely worth it and would do it again.

[@jaspberry]

bruh, 2019 at the Mao Livehouse? I flew down from Beijing to attend that show as well; it was indeed phenomenal, as per usual for toe.

[@julianrodriguez2207]

[@l.3539]

I don't know if you are going to read this comment, but I want to tell you that you guys are incredible and I hope that you will continue making music for many years, a lot of love for you from Peru. あなたがこのコメントを読むつもりかどうかはわかりませんが、みなさんは信じられないほど素晴らしいことを伝えたいと思います。これからもペルーからの愛情を込めて、長年にわたって音楽を作り続けてほしいと思います。 PS：私の悪い日本人のために申し訳ありません

みんながtoeの音楽を聴きたがってるってことをちゃんと分かってくれてて嬉しいよね

[@alonespirit_1Q84]

"Sonny Boy" 's creators did made a wise decision to add TOE's music in the series. Zen Experience in the form of music 🍁

[@jkfsu]

Incredibly talented musicians. Toe is severely underrated and underappreciated. You guys are like a breath of fresh air in the music world. Thank you for making the music that you do.

[@paweuuu27]

I exclusively love this version becouse of this transition between the two songs.

[@osidiusemphatic3505]

Fun fact: it's called 'Where Are My Ears?" because the first (recorded?) version of it was played during the filming of Doku-En-Kai. The band is jamming while they wait for Yamazaki's in-ear monitors to be fixed. Pretty cool to think that they may have made it up on the spot, and now it's something they play to transition into The Latest Number.

[@pblair6591]

not only that but also i think the mixing here is much more dynamic and crisper than the album version, like every instrument is perfectly balanced. even when the playing gets aggressive you can still make out the tiniest details

[@guitarsANDcars39]

The drumming on "Long Tomorrow" is always on point.

Awesome music that never gets boring (since early 00 for me at least). Thank you folks!

Japan was absolutely slaying in the early 2000's with Toe, The Back Horn, Envy, Downy, Asia Kung-Fu Generaton, Number Girl. Cornelius, Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her, and Acidman to name a few.
