The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Kashikura Takashi (toe)

Takashi’s live performance is absolutely chilling. Japanese math rock is a hyper slept-on genre in the consideration of the best drummers of all time. Takashi plays emotively, and sometimes has outbursts on stage, sometimes screaming and throwing sticks, sometimes bursting into tears while playing a particularly beautiful piece. Do yourself a favor and listen to toe asap.
