Greg Saunier - Drum Compilation (2019-2020)

[@onemillionthtry]

You have such a small percentage chance of landing a band that will let you thrive like this. Greg was smart enough to go to school and write a lot of their music, which gives him the freedom to and space to play such insane and entertaining live shows. One of the guys explains that he "Only plays in fills...", but honestly it makes total sense for the sound and compositions. And keeps the live shows super fresh not only for the audience, but also for the band.

Zach Hill and Greg Saunier....brothers from different mothers

[@frank_lotion_]

I saw Deerhoof tonight and Greg absolutely crushed it with literally just a snare, kick, floor tom, and a ride. Guy doesn’t even need a hi-hat

[@gustavoborchert]

It's good to learn about drummers that I didn't know. Thanks!

[@whatifyoushutup770]

I literally just discovered this band and im in love with gregs drumming

[@alejandrobustos2268]

8:39 minutos, toca el groove estilo Motorik inventado por el gran baterista alemán Jaki Liebezeit de la banda CAN.

[@danielstoddart]

Greg sounds like what would happen if you took John Bonham, a young Keith Moon, Rashied Ali, and Stewart Copeland and combined them into one minimalist drummer and then added a massive amount of improvisational dynamics.

Add Animal from the Muppets

[@nicholasserrambana]

@@nunooliveira1628 the first time I saw Deerhoof in 2014 my mom (who was kind enough to bring me) compared Saunier to Animal as well

[@pnw_dev7934]

I fucking love Greg! He represents this... like... guiding light of ferocious creativity. I appreciate how much risk he takes while playing live, although I can't imagine how hard it is to play with him.... "how many counts are in the phrase __this time__, Greg?" (see clip 20 for example)

[@pnw_dev7934]

Listening again, there's a tension between leading and listening in his playing, which is soooo good. It's not "perfect" but oh my God is it dynamic.

[@LDdrums20]

Dude is effing crazy on the drums. True artist.

[@JoergFischerYT]

Boah - the sax/voc-dude in the free form duets is Akira Sakata!? Didn't know the two perform(ed) together (I love both the mid 70s Yamashita Trio and Deerhoof madly)

[@lobster8086]

Hes a fucking genius Using a sandwich as a snare muffler

[@nelsonko5845]

Greg Time!!! well...i mean, he has HIS OWN SENSE OF TIMING...which drives the band unique!!! Love it!!!

[@sergiobolognesi401]

Didn't know him! Thanks a lot ❤️

[@travisdunsmuir806]

I remember seeing that sandwich clip years ago... this was all leading to Love-Lore??

[@courtneybeam2883]

Wtf aren't there more comments on this THE BEST drummer in the mf WORLD. Change my mind.

[@Googurty]

It's because he doesn't use a huge kit with all the bells and whistles, and uses "junk" drums. Like whatever he like the sound of he uses. I'm more impressed he can make use of such a minimal kit, that is true skill!

[@zachtbd5585]

Greg Saunier is the greatest. truly. I've been enjoying his drumming since Reveille! On top of that, Greg is a VERY nice person (so are all of Deerhoof). He snuck me into a 21+ show because I was only 19 by letting me carry in one of his drum bags.

[@bobby149]

It's hard to argue with this. Zach Hill maybe? but I think Greg is more musical. I saw Billy Cobham live and up close in 1972, the only thing that can compete.

[@nunooliveira1628]

At the very least top 5

[@ryankamm13]

All time great list for me. Such tight looseness.

[@jjoc1495]

Amazing thank you

[@jeebsa4m3]

Unfuckingfathomable. Such intensity and speed with insane attention to detail and dynamic range. Almost brain blade esq. in an odd way.

[@dannyl3704]

I have also thought of Brian Blade in relationship to Greg Saunier..the way they push/pull the tempo of songs and seem to lead the band with it..or something..both amazing!

[@tigerbryan2773]

Brain Blade is my new band name.

[@brian-jv1nw]

This is great

[@ThatOneBaconThatsMe]

But where does the world come from if not from this man's forearm coordination with calf muscle bonus feature?

[@centrey5827]

Can someone tell me the song in clip 2?

[@DrumCompilations]

Breakup Songs

[@joegurt2957]

GREGGGGGG!!!!

[@mothsfor]

whats with the sandwich LMFAOO

[@maxheadroom1837]

This band is so cool with the female lead she’s awesome. This guy is so kick ass on a 3 piece kit I’m embarrassed to be a drummer. Maybe I should cut my kit size back.

[@ericmsandoval]

Most shows he’s played he doesn’t even use toms. Great player for sure.

[@alejandrobustos2268]

Solo necesitas bombo y tambor, lo demás es accesorio.

[@alejandrobustos2268]

Minimalism. Less is more.

[@bugbugbugbugbugbug]

Hell yeah Greg! : )

[@DougMold]

Does anyone know the song in clip8?

[@astro_orc]

"We Do Parties" from the album Breakup Songs
