Jazz drummer reacts: Zach Hill (Hella) Biblical Violence

[@gabrielrose-gonzalez4421]

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.

[@rijntje73]

Great description, so true!

[@riseandshine5706]

“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.

[@Oliver_Hallowee]

That's a great point. I hadn't thought of this til watching this video actually. What he does is amazing, but many others could probably improvise something similar. So few could actually write and play these sounds. It's on another level

[@jangobango2847]

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.

[@Manuhoz]

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 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3Kud52kq7V7iqM

[@jawnske]

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

[@Vantier]

I mean yes and no. These live versions were not identical to the album by any means. The basic structure is there, but it's not the same.

[@canatico8]

I remember hearing in the documentary of the tour they did in Europe that they did a fair bit of improvisation on stage. Their performances are definitely looser live. Let's just say I get the guy's impression

[@SilhouetteLifter]

@@Vantier Obviously they improv a little sometimes live, but listen to this version of Biblical Violence and tell me it's not almost identical to the album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJWwdZZ9aN90e6s They can replicate these songs to a T, but sometimes they have some fun with tempos and improv, such as the video being reacted to here.

[@delta52-oh63]

"Hold your horse is" is such a good album, couldn't agree more. Extremely well constructed

[@sensor-sweep]

that definitely wasn't a dig against their songwriting abilities, it was a praise of their capacity to write songs.. how they made it

[@cn1506]

"For a moment you think its nonsense and then they do shit together" There is almost no nonsense even in the live show. The guitar is sort of the guide and the drums freely follow but I'd say he's playing closely to what's on the album much of the time but with lots of flourishes. You can try to boil it down to some basic structures but he's basically got some really original grooves going on with everything in between completely filled in. Should probably mention this is my favorite band and album of all time.

Try Been a Long Time Cousin, there is a fantastic live video that shows a bit more of his technique. It sounds like there is a lot of chaos, but it is actually, quite controlled.

[@WordToMomsYo]

I requested Garrett check out Zach Hill, and I’m pretty sure I specified “Been a Long Time Cousin” 😆

[@miguel213]

Yep, that's the one I recommended as well, from Concentration Face. They also did a lot more improvisation on that one.

[@McbrydeWithaY]

Liam Kiely same, pretty sure it was last year haha

[@just.some.dud3]

I saw Hella in Austin, TX years ago. After the show I sat outside and talked to Zach, he was super humble and chill and very cool. Two interesting tidbits: he said he sprained his ankle during the show and he played with one low top Converse (kick foot) and a flip flop (high hat). What an absolute unit he is.

[@Dr.Mrs.Pancakes]

That is the most Zach thing ive heard, love it

[@DrVonHein]

Hey Garrett, I saw this drummer, Zach hill, come in late for a show one time..a solo performance..He rushed down by car from Calais to Rotterdam. He came in (some old factory) placed his tapedeck in front of his drums ,pressed 'play'and played the shit outta his kit. Leaving everybody present speechless in amaze..but you were right..its a jazz descendent. Best solo act i ever saw though..

[@Mortarion6666]

Thankyou for being so open minded Garrett. There's too many reaction channels that are just about whether they 'like' it. I love how you react to each drummer on their own terms, without any predisposition for how things 'should' be.

[@SoloNecr0zis]

Zach Hill's drumming got stripped of a lot of his "crazyness" with Death Grips. I love everything he does there, simple but not basic by any means, more listenable than Hella but a lot of crazy good ideas. The drum beat of "The Fever" by Death Grips is forever on loop in my head.

There’s No 666 In Outer Space by Hella shows them with more instrumentation and vocals but still keeps that raw chaos if you’re missing it from Death Grips

[@Thelambe123]

At first listen it sounds like Zach has toned his drumming back in Death Grips (and for a lot of their discography he definitely did dial it back), but his craziness is still very much there it's just now hidden behind electronic drum resampling things. Every single thing you hear (other than the vocals) in the entire first half of their Powers That B album is done on an electric drum kit and it features some absolute insanity

[@illuminatibraincontrol]

You actually will love Don Caballero. Its got healthy doses of JAZZ, some ridiculous drumming and yet more... concise songs. They're wild jams for sure, but they were, I'd say, less about playing everything as fast or crazy as possible, and more about making every song distinct in time and feel in unique ways. Every song is like a study in rhythmic possiblities, while still feeling more like a song.

[@michaelkokenos2042]

I really appreciated the honest reaction. You didn’t act like your mind was being blown like every other reaction video.

Those dudes make art and sometimes great art doesn’t sink in immediately. Anyways, keep it up! I just subbed.

[@dis.infectant]

Welcome to the world of Math Rock, dude! Zach Hill is a BEAST. If you want to see some emotive drumming if whole different order, I highly recommend taking a look at Kashikura Takashi from the math/post rock band Toe. Three favourites: Goodbye (album version), All I Understand is That I Don't Understand, and C.

[@kanametousinabasi]

I'm so glad you finally got to this haha Zach Hill is my all time favorite drummer, organized chaos is what he does best & he's an absolute beast & master at his craft. After Hella he's also most notorious for playing in the experimental Hip-Hop group Death Grips (Give em a listen when you have the time) & he's done a bunch of work with other artists including: Les Claypool from Primus, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from The Mars Volta, Nick Reinhart from Tera Melos, Wavves, & Marnie Stern to name a few. You should definitely give drummer Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt/Black Pus a listen next too, he's got a similar high-energy erratic style. Kenneth Topham from the band Giraffes? Giraffes! is also a great watch as well!

Hella were tail end of the “math rock” movement, which as you correctly identified, was kind like jazz as expressed through the punk rock filter. Other bands in the genre worth looking up include Don Caberello, Polvo, Battles, and on the softer-emo-ish end of the spectrum, American Football. These days Zack plays for the experimental hip-hop act Death Grips.

Once you pick up an instrument and learn how to actually play your mind expands and you will have a greater understanding/appreciation of music that you normally wouldn’t listen too like Jazz, Funk, Technical Death Metal, Mathcore, etc . Of course these styles of music are not going to be most peoples cup of tea but atleast learn to respect it because it takes a lot of practice, skill, and talent. The majority of Mainstream Music and these so called “Talented Musicians” who make millions don’t even write there own music nor the lyrics they sing. They are basically just selling an Image with a voice that’s Autotuned because guess what happens when there is no Autotune on that voice? It sounds like 💩 because they cant sing. Excellent comment Byron. Bravo 👏

Can't blame you for the "visual reaction" That's pretty much been my reaction to Hella any time I listen to them, for years now
