Phenomenal. As others have noted, dude only uses one bass drum pedal. He's doing multiple repeated sixteenth note patterns with his right foot while playing stupidly fast triplets with his hands like it's nothing. SINGULAR.
When I saw these guys live, I think I just stood there near the front row with a dumbfounded expression on my face. Their music is like having a stroke in a good way. It gave me PTSD and I loved it.
People tend to ignore how amazingly creative a guitarist Spencer Seim is. I think Zach Hill gets more credit because his instrument is more physically demanding, but Spencer channels something fundamental and strong in me.
@SUICIDEDEATHCULT republic of r&r changed my life. i've never thought you're "allowed" or can make impossible riffs (this i was always playing) into something so musical.
i remember watching these videos two years ago, and there were no comments almost. i'm glad that changed. i showed this band to anyone i could...
hold your horses is one of the best albums ever for me.
@squid4brain He's a great drummer, and was such an instrumental influence in my own personal playing many years back... one pedal is so much better to practice with then two!
if anything zach hill is human. this just goes to show what humans are capable of if the a lot of time and effort is put towards something. I think zach hill is a great example of extraordinary human accomplishment (in this case the feild of music).
its kind of different than buddy rich's drummer. hes nutragously good, don't get me wrong, but there are guys who are more cohesive than this guy, the different is this guy only plays crazy drum lines in his songs.
HAHAHA I had The Advantage play on accident in winamp while firefox froze on me because Zach Hill was too buck for Mozilla. Once it unfroze itself, it came in perfectly in time with winamp. Talk about like 1000bpm
the album is very hard to play, but to learn the songs all you have to do is strip away all of the extra stuff zach is doing and get down to the core ideas and then add the stuff back in... you get just as crazy as zach i guarentee
haha omg this is so frikin fast, its like 4x faster than the recording. This is like the fastest ive ever seen them play a song of theres live, oh and the drum part is amazing in this song, those linear beats are fucking insane!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not much on this. Takes talent to do, but why do it? It's 6 minutes of drum solo + noodling. I guess I'm more of a meat and potatoes Damon Che kind of guy. /shrug
for all the oodles of noodles-they're quite melodic-its just buried in their 'need for speed' style. I know what you mean, in a sense. It takes a certain person, or even a mood perhaps, sometimes it's overwhelming, but a question like why do it?-why be another repeat in a world of musical cookie cutters-Che will win with his more tasteful (read less frenetic) playing. But Hella holds their own.
you should actually buy or check out the album this is from. It actually is very tight, and extremely awesome. It's from Hold your horse is. Check it out doooood.
Just because you can't figure out the time signature immediately, doesn't exactly mean that the drummer is sloppy...Zach Hill plays a drummer who plays double bass style with only one pedal. Anyone who does that as their primary style can't be sloppy
exactly, further -- ALOT of pure concept with his beats in all of his songs. that's what makes him amazing. not his speed. and for what he composes, it's very unsloppy, especially for how fast he plays it
