Pros of wanting to play like Zach Hill: You don't have to have an expensive kit Cons: You have to learn how to play like Zach Hill

[@SmellsLikeNothing]

half strokes for DAAAAAAAAAAAYS

[@adsdsds6190]

Have to have

[@miserableoutcast]

That’s how I’ve been learning for the past few years as someone without the expendable dough for new gear. I love my second trash kit

[@cablevamp3163]

Zachs right leg has to be the fastest next to John Bonham His heel to toe is inhuman

[@tehallanaz]

@@cablevamp3163 he definitely does slide a lot, I think his feet are too big for heel toes.

[@MrZombiejfk]

zach hill is really good at playing drums you guys

[@tessahalsey5123]

yes .

[@amb600cd0]

Finally someone agrees with me

[@barttool]

Insane that this IS the album cut.

[@sargenthouse]

Released "Face Tat" 10 YEARS AGO today. It still slays.

[@entiretotal7207]

Transcription of the comments at the end: ZH: "I'd listen to that. ZH: "Aah, this thing makes my head so fucking hot, dude." CM: "What's that? [inaudible]" ZH: "Hard to keep this -- headphones on. And this thing, like, scorches my dome, you know what I mean? It's crazy. *belches*"

[@maxxisntbored]

Thank you!

[@Eveandwolf]

Scorches my dome seems like a very Californian expression

[@pipn9090]

Life is going good. I am finally doing well in college, i've been getting close with a beautiful and really cool girl, and I am improving on myself daily. This has got to be the best song i've ever listened too, this very moment of time right now is pure contentment and bliss. I love you all.

[@ziggyboogydude1]

peace and love peace and love

[@KingdededeKingdedede]

Congratulations dude :)

Did you remember this week?

How about those week?

[@sonko2742]

How bout this week?

[@captainsunburn8510]

This week??

[@closedmouth]

no matter how many times i watch this i always feel anxious that zach is gonna get his hand caught on the cord and pull the headphones off

[@jcpm5025]

getting worried about that is very cute of you

[@PoziracDeti]

jacopo maiorano smooth

[@phoofnscoops6778]

PoziracDeti thinking the same thing

[@alanmousa50]

I have a feeling this is from experience

[@grozymalkozy6435]

he would just step on them and keep drumming

[@skrackensdal]

i swear to god, zach is half drum half man

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

half? he is like 200% drum, 90% man, 2% milk, eggs, flour, bacon, cheese, stir and bake at 220 bpm

[@exalted_kitharode]

Ryan Berkovich And ofc drugs

[@Toxeensynth]

@@exalted_kitharode thank god for autism

[@artvaz8]

Snare drum, kick drum, hi hat, cymbals, and the Zach Hill drum

[@treetop2842]

This is a good pairing of musicians

[@davidmiles8384]

The first minute or 90 seconds of this is just TOO raw. Especially Zach's powerful tribal yells

[@jeffreycollins7297]

When I was making my experimental guitar music in the mid-90's I prayed to find a drummer like Zach.

[@dsgavaafsdg3955]

Hes one of a kind man. nobody has ever done it like him and i dont reckon anyone ever will tbh.

[@HysterS-FT]

Zach Hill has such a powerful right foot that he can literally use one hand to adjust his headphones _while_ playing and it has absolutely zero effect on the overall fullness of his sound

[@ronaldmcdonald8168]

Carson's parts sound like they are in reverse. I absolutely love it!

[@qwikstix3]

The guitar player sounds great with Zach, awesome song.

[@docmcbungas3303]

Over time i start to think I'm becoming a decent musician, Zach Hill and someone pop up in my recommendations and remind me of the true spectrum of skill

[@hideyojimmies4840]

i like carson much better than most math rock guitarists even though they have more twinkly riffs. theres just something about his style that stands out. same can be said for Spencer Seim

[@tessahalsey5123]

They're two of those guitarists who have such a unique, characteristic approaches to chordwork and melody that you can tell it's them when you hear them on something new

[@notbrandonion]

They were both in Hella together at one point

[@LunarLaker]

@@notbrandonion and the advantage before that, though Seim played drums there

[@knoopx]

yeah, no one else like them, these dissonant melodies they pull are sick

[@LaserGunsLG]

my favorite performance of zach's

[@davidmiles8384]

I know I've commented here before a while ago but FUCK those yells get me every time. I'd make the sweetest of love to zach if he'd let me.

[@majtavcar3065]

bro thats kinda sussy

[@MrZombiejfk]

i love this whole piece, but the last 40 seconds or so is so fucking raw god damn

[@questionablepieceofcheese]

"I'd listen to that..."

[@mic-ps1qt]

they compliment eachothers playing styles so well it’s

[@megamatt1915]

I loved this track on the album. What an exhilarating instrumental.

[@ropeswingify]

Wow.. I cant remember the last time I heard a guitarist put out a sound that was truly unique. Zappa? So I just got hip to these cats via another crazy video of the drummer. So let me get this straight there are ( 2 ) musicians in this band that are freaky geniuses? Jeez lueez.. Lucky to have one mad genius in a group let alone 2 anomalies.

[@ziggyboogydude1]

if you want to hear more mad genius propelled by zach's inhuman drumming check out Death Grips (recommended album is The Money Store or Bottomless Pit) and The I.L.Y.s - two projects he's been involved in. other groups with batshit drummers that i like are uhhhhh Clown Core and Big Lad (formerly Shitwife - fave song by them is Eating Food and Fighting Wizards

[@Steakduboeuff]

As a guitar player this piece of music has baffled me ever since first hearing it. Has anyone ever tabbed this? does anyone how this guy achieves this massive sound? Cheers

[@jchunter21]

Pedals and a les Paul

[@edtr8434]

I’ve only ever figured out that opening riff

[@Steakduboeuff]

@@edtr8434 Me too! I've done some research on the pedals and i THINK he's using a double wah pedal...Not sure. just like to know your thoughts on this.

[@edtr8434]

@@Steakduboeuff hmm doesn’t look like he’s using pedals. Knowing Carson’s playing style it’s all in his hands. He’s sliding up and down the neck quite a lot. Possibly a different tuning as well to allow for that fluidity in his playing.

[@Steakduboeuff]

@@edtr8434 the shredding right before the end sounds like a full on wah. Theres a lot of treble gain.

[@ViolenceJunkiesSPR]

the best song that’s ever been recorded

[@cruz5738]

fuck zachs snare sounds so good

[@MrRabidKiwi]

+CRUZ I believe he said something in an interview about how he tends to tighten his snares a bit too much for most people's tastes, but then undoes the wires to get his sound or something like that.

[@cruz5738]

yeah tru i read that somewhere

[@pizzacunt]

very interesting sounds coming out of a les paul

[@CAKmusic]

I want to hear a whole album of this stuff. This track is really up there with the best Hella material.

[@FeralStarRecords]

this is track 12 on zach's record "face tat". you can find it on his bandcamp.

[@CAKmusic]

+Feral Star Records Sorry, I meant this track in particular. It would be great to hear a full album of just Zach and Carson. I do like Face Tat tho.

[@FeralStarRecords]

ah, agreed. if you haven't heard zach and nick reinhart's project Bygones, they have a great full-length guitar/drums record too.

I actually hope Zack, Omar, & Cedric get creative together again soon. Omar can write great shit while Zack & Cedric can pull it off perfectly. Omar & Zack have colabs out from the past worth checking out.

[@milomeliora7271]

‘Worth checking out’ is an understatement. ‘El Grupo Nuevo’ is a Supergroup that only put out one album and unfortunately never played live.

Only 2 mics on the kit? I can't believe this was recorded with only the kick and a mono overhead for the drums!
