Toe - Goodbye (Drum Cover)

I'm glad to present you my first drum cover!
Toe's "Goodbye" is not just ordinary song for me. I was listening Toe since childhood and was always dreamed to grow my skills enough to play my favourite songs of this band. Toe became the first Japanese group that I fell in love with and since that time Japanese style of drumming was inspiring me for many years to grow up! Thank you guys.

love the fact that people actually know toe and are equally impressed by their skills

日本人ですが、

ありがとうございました。


Although I am Japanese,
I first heard about Toe after listening to your drum cover that was recommended.
Thank you very much.

The complexity of this piece is not in the technical chops but in the emotional randomness of human touch you need to perform it.
Live versions of TOE actually show you the absolute gap between their drummer and the rest of the world.

Good job on the cover

[Fxeye-irck]

The essence of math rock always lies in the drums and it always takes an excellent drummer to make a good band. Great job!

[TheAnimeMan]

One of my favorite Toe tracks. Nicely played!

[toolateto]

still like this drum cover after 3 years!

I'm so glad you played the TOE song.
I'm Japanese and I love TOE.
The majority of Japanese band musicians have a longing for American and British musicians, and I think there are many Japanese musicians who can't get out the groove and nuance like them easily, and are incompatible.
However, I was very moved by your love and reenactment of the songs of TOE, an artist whose music is only listened to by a few music lovers in Japan. It made me feel that Japanese music isn't abandoned yet. It made me realize that Japanese band music is in a unique position in the world.
Thank you so much for playing it. I'm sure they're happy to be treated with such respect.

With love from Japan.

I think you've become something of a role model for my five year old daughter who now asks me to play "miss Diana" every morning before we're off to kindergarten. She also tries to mimic your movements which fills me with both joy and dread.
Spectacular performance by the way. Keep it up. And thank you.

[WellingtonRodrigues]

played flawlessly! 4:08 she takes a deep breath as she focus on the solo
I don't play drums but as a musician I can tell how hard that was

[lPanicSinisterl]

I know this is 4 years old but this is one of the best drum covers I’ve ever seen

[IsimplyWill]

That was dope. My daughter was watching this with and immediately asked to go in the garage and practice. Bravo

[FG-jlcz]

I fell in love. Youtube lacks such technical and modest drummers. Keep doing what you're doing, you have a talent.

Finally, the best drum cover of TOE 🙏

It's been years since this video came out but I still come back to it. Not only a hugely impressive performance, but feels like food for the soul, almost meditative to watch.

[greenbuster]

I'm Japanese. Thank you for the wonderful cover.I'm proud that the world listens to this song a lot.

[illestghost]

I bought a drum 2 months ago, 1:10 - 1:25 is so smooth yet complex. Wish i could play something like this.

[bencrystalofficial]

I started taking drum lessons about 12 years ago, and at my first recital, everyone performed in order of their skill more or less. I was one of the first since I was just a beginner, but the final performer was leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else, and I remember the shimmer and how he made the hi hat speak playing this exact song. Thank you so much for bringing it back into my life! :)

[HassanLalalas]

3 years later and i'm still watching this cover. And almost everytime i watch, i would almost cry. That amount of emotion and feel this song has and this great cover.. Goddammit 30 year old man crying to a beautiful song and a beautifully played drum cover.

[marcuslaverdure]

Get this video to a million everyone! I'm trying my hardest I keep rewatching it every month or so. Amazing skills and beautiful shot

[blitzkrig]

I've always knew how Takashi-san's drumming has been an important aspect of Toe's music... it feels as if the dynamic variants of the drumming is singing (or perhaps rapping), and part of the lyrics.. Not just the drumming. If we listen closely, we can feel as if the guitar tunes are singing different melodies as well...

Looking at you play for the 8th time now, I can truly see how magical this is. How the drumming part of this song is the actual singing. It is so harmoniously in tuned with the other instruments although it changes beats and rhythm.

Thank you for sharing this to the world. I used to play the drums ages ago but now I feel like picking up the sticks once again. You do you Diana!
