I think it's worth pointing out that Zach plays with a single bass drum pedal.
I saw Zach Hill play with his very first band “Legs on Earth” in college back around 2000. It was mind-blowing. Some random Thursday at about noon on a tiny outdoor stage while people were walking to and from class. I had no intention of watching a show, but I watched the entire effing thing. Better believe I bought a CD too. Had Zach sign it about 10 years later on a solo tour through my town. He asked where the hell I got it. I told him and he said he totally remembered that show. Even he said it was a super weird show. Zach Hill has gone on to release tons of insanely original music and play with other absolutely world class musicians, and I saw him at the very beginning of it all. Cool.
Zach hill’s energy and aesthetic is punk, songwriting are experimental, dynamics are metal, rhythms and techniques are jazz. Master of all genres
This isn’t even his full power. Just you wait until his shirt comes off
I can't believe how long zach hill has been a musician and he's not rrally universally recognized in the music world.
“Organized chaos” well said. The fact that he can replicate every song without missing a note every time he performs speaks volumes on how intricate and how much effort he’s put into his work.
Oh man do Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt if you haven't already, he gives off a similar high-energy improvisational boundary-pushing vibe and they're such a blast to watch play live
i dont agree with the "creating music on the fly" statement, listen to Hold Your Horse Is and youll see its all written how its preformed. Theyre insane, very talented artists
Zach Hill - the fastest foot in the west.
If there is smooth jazz then hella is rough jazz
Jazz Drummer first time listening to Hella: "Whoa... this is crazy"
Metalheads: “We’re the fastest hardest craziest musicians on the planet.”
Now listen to Death Grips. All of the ‘percussion’ on the first half of The Powers That B is Zach Hill playing Bjork samples on his v drums.
You need to hear/see Don Caballero
Hold Your Horse Is is one of the most formative albums of my childhood. So glad this dude is getting recognition by real drummers this many years on....single kick pedal!!! Also, i would argue that these songs are not improvised.
Don't worry, Garrett. This is a pretty standard reaction to Zach Hill and Hella. :)
I remember the first time I listened to Hella. It shook me to my musical core. I literally was messed up in the head for weeks! I couldn't understand why I couldn't stop listening to it. Made me feel like I was crazy. Turns out I'm OK. Just had to get into their heads space musically. Getting over the hurdle of unfamiliarity with their music has contributed to my appreciation of so much music. I have to thank Zach for making my head explode.
I think listening to Hella’s studio recordings helps to understand that they are perfectly playing together all along and not just here and there. I love to listen to Zach supporting Wavves on tour (not his band, and a band that is normally not drum centric at all) this is how he digest music and add his energetic touch :
That's so rad that you said "this is jazz", thanks so much for saying that. I got into punk first, jazz after that for the same reasons. It's all so similar when you look at it that way. -Huge Hella fan and huge jazz fan
