Zach Hill - Dueling Solo

Zach Hill - dueling solo at Red & Black Bar
135 N 5th St. Brooklyn, NY, 10.24.05

[@joshcraft197]

Wake up babe, new old footage of zach doing something that seems physically impossible

[@lukef752]

It’s so fucking wild to hear “xxx is up next” after Zach finishes playing. He’s just a normal dude playing at an open mic, he just so happens to be Zach hill though. I couldn’t even imagine trying to go up after him and play my own stuff lol.

[@WhirlwindDrums]

The fact that Zach and Greg can shed all night long with solos like this, just amazes me how much longevity they have. makes me feel like an amateur lmao

[@smallwolfsyndrome]

you'll get there eventually if that's what you're going for, keep it up.

[@xxSk8ing4christxx]

Crazy once you realize he’s doing this for 45 minutes straight

[@dr.dandyphd4968]

meth is a hell of a drug

[@net6403]

no because it gets better than that, there are *jumpcuts* so they went LONGER than what was shown here

[@poopyjoe7883]

greg’s really one of the only living drummers able to go to toe to toe with zach, crazy shit

[@EarthWorms77]

Greg who?

[@poopyjoe7883]

@@EarthWorms77 greg saunier ! he’s the other drummer in this clip, known for his work with the band deerhoof. check him out! the fact that you’ve even seen this video probably means you’ll enjoy his antics

zach hill is philosophical punk

[@lukedequilettes9200]

oh lord its 44 minutes of glory!!! a lost relic

[@itscrawford]

around the 7 minute mark he literally plays biblical violence at like 3x speed. (seriously slow it down)

[@asap.6283]

10:35 Seems to be the same drum pattern they used in the Death Grips song Two Heavens

[@mochaburner5611]

it reminds me more of a segment about ten minutes into necromancer. this beat isnt the same as two heavens, its WAY busier than it

[@christopherlopez2491]

He always does this in hella he uses this a few times as well as in team sleep

[@Steelwind666]

tthe transcript for this video is amazing.

[@66malthe]

nobody can convince me that he isn't the greatest of all time.

[@kraftyhandz]

Pure inspiration.

[@avcer0]

my arms are so sore after watching this

[@thedangboi7198]

imagine charting this for guitar hero or rock band

[@CCPwillfall01]

[@mateostenberg]

So glad I found this, I always wondered if they'd done anything together

the first one is a beat zach uses a lot while improvising , it shows up in necromancer at a couple points

So,…is this a west coast thing? I mean, I get that dude is super fast and can play drums and all, but I don’t get the whole orgy crowd standing there watching it for 45 fucking minutes.

[@PleaseGodSmiteMe]

this was in NY

[@Glitch-nr9ct]

@@PleaseGodSmiteMe ... and the gig is to just, like... sit down and blast out sticking patterns against an opponent as fast as you both can for as long as possible and see who collapses first or something?

[@user-jl8nd3cr1e]

@@Glitch-nr9ct it's a noise thing sonically but also a lot of really interesting patterns can be done when you do duo solos. i think for most people it is one of those things where you have to be there to get it, kinda like how looking at a Rothko on the internet is totally different from seeing one in person. i saw Greg Saunier (one guy in this clip) do this with a local guy at an afterparty show and it was incredible.

[@SenorGooch]

@@PleaseGodSmiteMe holy shit I was just about to say. I have been to shows underground in NY before like this

[@Christopher-md7tf]

What, you don't like to watch two guys blast out single strokes with zero musicality or nuance for 44 minutes straight?

[@induss1491]

sloppy and lacking any dynamics...boring

[@chalk9760]

listen to Zach's other music, and you'll start to get it. But if you're just gonna be a lazy and unreliable critic without doing any research on it, no one is gonna listen to you.

you serious brother?
