I once took a friend to a DG show (he'd heard them before and was interested, not necessarily a fan) and he described the way MC Ride commanded energy on stage and kept the audience hanging on his every movement as being almost cult leader or dictator-like. So when I heard this guy say he believed him I immediately laughed out loud
I love seeing people with a strong knowledge of music being totally surprised, blown away, proud, etc of experimental groups and being totally accepting and open to what they're bringing to the table. It's such a wholesome feeling to see old respect new (not an age dig by any means) and vice versa.
Dude, you need to check out "Hella" . That was zach hills previous 2 piece band. Him and a guitarist doing the craziest math rock music out there. There was a full band line up for one record but the duo records are where it's at! Absolutely mental drumming in this band.
Legend has it Hill was offered a drum-head endorsement during his Hella days. They asked how many heads he needed for a tour, he told them and they never replied after that.
its so wholesome and cool seeing the passion and excitement someone has when they hear something for the first time which they enjoy! i love music so much dude
I watch this video every few months and every time I still feel so stoked at how excited you are to hear how he plays, seriously amazing to see someone so in tune to music
its amazing how i can watch a guy listen to a band ive listened to for almost a decade and feel like im listening to it for the first time again alongside him
Zach Hill was in a band called Hella, like everyone had been saying. However, he has some solo records which are fantastic.There is a song called Necromancer, it’s pure rhythmic bliss.
I am living for this reaction. You should see Zach Hill play an entire Death Grips album handcuffed for no reason. Also check out the bands: Hella, Lightning Bolt, Meshuggah (“Clockworks” or “Bleed”), Deantoni Parks, & Ian Chang (also Ian Chang’s Sunhouse demonstrations are cool).
There's no way to prepare yourself for DG if you've never heard them. Great reaction, and great to see you enjoy it. I've been a Zach Hill fan since the first Hella record, and DG still hit(s) me with surprises.
Experimental hip hop is the best way to describe this masterpiece of a group... love Death Grips and their impact on music culture And they are Sacramento based group
My god he’s done it Honestly from a drummer technicality Zach Hill is in his own strange world a world of great discography to explore highly recommend
I think he has long transcended technicality, without losing it, but layering more direct feeling or something like that that is communicated on top. (He’s one of my favorites too, so not disagreeing just adding my own flavor)
You've gotta do Brian Chippendale. his main band is Lightning Bolt, his solo project is called Black Pus. Pretty much all videos are good but I'd especially recommend Dead Cowboy by Lightning Bolt at TAICOCLUB and "Black Pus in his crazy attic"
You haven't even seen his practice routine. Btw, those are the drum fills from the original track when they were living on food stamps in a Sacramento business complex basement. It only gets crazier from there-on-out
In 2009, Zach was playing with a band called Wavves. There’s an amazing live video that came out when they played in new york. It’s insane because he’s playing these simple rock beats and then breaking into these psychotic fills. He’s incredible. He’s done so many projects before death grips and he’s one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen in my life
It’s really cool to hear this group processed from a rock music fan’s point of view. Love the comparisons to huge classic rock drummers in this extremely different genre, and your enthusiasm is way relatable.
Your reaction and facial expressions and attitude towards the music with the head bobs matched mine and ive been listening to this song for a lonnggg time
My introduction to death grips was through their song "no love" the track starts with mc ride wailing and then the most monsterous beat I'd ever heard in my life consumed me. it sounded like Godzilla was walking through a city leaving a path of destruction in his wake. the most brutal and powerful sounding music I'd heard up to that point. this guy had a perfect first reaction.
Whats up man, ive been drumming since i was 8, 18 now, i had a really great teacher when i was younger and i got a lot of respect for teachers out there, just subbed, keep the videos up
the music bypasses all of the systems we use to comprehend things (logic, language, reason, etc.) and makes you understand it on a primal level akin to a psychedelic trip (have you ever tried to explain a revelation to someone after the trip wears off lol?). solid vid, glad u enjoyed them so much =)
Hey man, big fan of this series. However it would be cool if you dissect one or two beats/fills that you like from each video and do a quick tutorial/breakdown!
As an avid fan of Death Grips, I loved watching your video. It was so interesting to hear your perspective and technical knowledge about Zach's drumming, combined with the shock and surprise you felt from watching this vid. Thank you for the vid! I really enjoyed it!
"That's like if Questlove," I was gonna say, "Was homeless and schizophrenic." By the way, I don't know anything about drumming. What's Zach doing with the snares not on his drums? It creates that neat kind of hollow noise. I've seen him do that a lot in videos and really like the sound. Who are some other drummers that do that? Also here's one of my favorite of Zach's sets: th-cam.com/video/AAKFjnvPHTA/w-d-xo.html
HELLO FROM CONNECTICUT...THIS DRUMMER HAS SOME JAZZ BACKGROUND THOSE FILLS REMIND ME IF JOEY JORDISON FROM SLIPKNOT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S PLAYN SUPER SLOPPY BUT IF U LISTEN HE'S ACTUALLY PLAYN A PATTERN...I DON'T HEAR A BASS PLAYER SO THE DRUMMER IS GOING IFF THE VOCALS..MUCH LIKE LARS DOES (DID) WITH PLAYN OFF HETFIELDS VOCALS GOOD STUFF
I love DG but this isn’t even a good intro to Zach. Listen to HELLA, his first band. Tons of TH-cam footage, unbelievable albums and is still some of the most creative shit out there to this day. Every drummer should BEWAREEEEEEEEEEEE
First time visitor to your channel, absolutely love your reaction. You were floored within seconds and were somewhat speechless. Very honest. I appreciate that.
aww. DG are one of my all-time favourites. i haven't listened to them in forever, but your reaction has just made me fallen back in love with them. thank you for appreciating them.

"I believe in EVERY thing he's saying. I believe him." this is the correct reaction to Mr. Grips
I once took a friend to a DG show (he'd heard them before and was interested, not necessarily a fan) and he described the way MC Ride commanded energy on stage and kept the audience hanging on his every movement as being almost cult leader or dictator-like. So when I heard this guy say he believed him I immediately laughed out loud
He’s spitting straight fax rn
stefan death and the grips
Meanwhile he’s really not saying anything
Hello
Of course, he's a teacher.
He left cursor on the pause button.
So I could pause when I needed to Haha
@@JunkdrummerTV that's what spacebar is for 😩
@@wobbenbuffet3286 He's using a laptop and the left click is closer than the spacebar.
So fucking real

"avant garde alien hip hop noise band" - nailed it

Excellent comment. I feel the same way.
It's always fun witnessing people see Zach ilk in action for the first time
''vomiting from your soul'' nice way off putting it
Imma start usin that
soul vomit is lowkey my next band name
Gustave Muhozi soul coughing
too late, theres already a band with that name haha.
Dude, you need to check out "Hella" . That was zach hills previous 2 piece band. Him and a guitarist doing the craziest math rock music out there. There was a full band line up for one record but the duo records are where it's at! Absolutely mental drumming in this band.
I'll watch this guy in anything

@@JunkdrummerTV Hella - "Biblical Violence". Thank me later. th-cam.com/video/jdMDcG3zAEI/w-d-xo.html
@@JunkdrummerTV Zach Hill played on the first 3 Marnie Stern albums. They're all pretty incredible imo. Love the drums on tracks like Her Confidence.
@@JunkdrummerTV listen to "the things that people do when they think no ones looking" by hella
5:18 "It's just like everybody on stage... it's just like... vomiting from their soul"
This man understood Death Grips
"I'm trying to understand the approach the drumker was taking when making this"
Zach Hill: haha music go brrr
😂😂
he was taking meth
we did it boys
we got a music teacher to be a fan of Death Grips
This Will Be Your MF DOOM yes
This Will Be Your MF DOOM nice pfp
ALL CAPS!
metal face nice dp too
Just remember all caps when you spell the man name...
this was the best death grips reaction i've seen tbh
"Hold on for a second. I need something."
**comes back with holy water**
dead x'"D
lol
A whole chalice of it at that
"i'll drive 8 hours to see that band."
as someone who drove from Louisville, KY to Tulsa, OK, I can say it's worth it.
I was there too, that show was straight music, a couple words and music, done.
IM FROM LOUISVILLE
I hope you enjoyed cain's. I was supposed to be at that show but the tickets either evaporated or my ex sold them.
Legend has it Hill was offered a drum-head endorsement during his Hella days. They asked how many heads he needed for a tour, he told them and they never replied after that.
I had heard a similar thing circa Hold Your Horse Is, but that it was for his cymbals.
@@echocharliepapa paiste has been hooking him up lately with big beats and masters
The change of character after hearing Death Grips for the first time is always amazing to watch
“What is going on?”
Yeah, that’s about right.
"What am I listening to?" he says in an inquisitive voice as he grooves to the music. Death Grips had that effect on everyone the first time.
Yes, yes love his reaction and is quite relatable
Most people do not have that reaction lol
This is oddly the most life affirming thing i've seen in a minute, thank you
Life Grips
I so agree
This is how every person that loves this band WISHES their teachers/parents/etc would react when they show them this band.
its so wholesome and cool seeing the passion and excitement someone has when they hear something for the first time which they enjoy! i love music so much dude
4:39 Hold on for second, i need something
*Proceed to get a glass of water*
My man stay hydrated
"water"
Check out Zach Hill in his math rock band, they are called Hella
I'll watch anything he's in now
Brasileiro tá em todo canto, jajajaj
como um mano com essa foto bosta de perfil conhece Hella, cacete
@@JunkdrummerTV "Hold your horse is" by hella is one of my favorite albums of all time, highly recommend
@@micahowens7026 yep. Found out about them from punk planet originally.
I’ve watched this about 5 times the enjoyment and amazement to this makes me smile
Thank you!!!
3:23 fun fact: MC Ride (the singer) listed Sonic Youth as one of his musical influences in a documentary he did with his old rap group Fyre.
It's obvious. He also drops Sonic Youth in the lyrics of one of their songs.
Clinton Leonard which one?
@@xiutxui1689 blood creepin
He also said in some interview that he's a fan of Jimi Hendrix lol
I watch this video every few months and every time I still feel so stoked at how excited you are to hear how he plays, seriously amazing to see someone so in tune to music
Thank you for watching!!
if u like these drum parts you're gonna love black midi
FUCK YEAH
He should react to th-cam.com/video/WsBhNRITtdk/w-d-xo.html
tender blom yesss
YES
tender blom black midi bmbmbm
"Zach Hill, Death Grips Rehearsal" video showcases Zach well
he looks like a mutant thumb in that video. It's like he played so much drums that he just became an enormous muscle.
that would be such a great reaction, Zach Hill practicing February 2011 would be good
@@essscott1661 jesus reincarnate
YES!
Just listen to "The Money Store" all your questions will be answered.
The Toes Up Podcast While all of their albums are great, i’d say that Bottomless Pitt or No Love Deep Web demonstrate his drumming a bit better.
or as i like to call it now
the monky store😈
Exmilitary, the album Guillotine is off of, is a good example of Mr. Hill's drumming.
When he uses the electronic kit for lord of the game is so sick
its amazing how i can watch a guy listen to a band ive listened to for almost a decade and feel like im listening to it for the first time again alongside him
CONFIRMED: Zach Hill is Questlove !!!
nightcore questlove
"OK, Anthony Fantano. I get it." That was fuckin' hilarious. Probably your best reaction so far! :p
“Cymbal ran over by a bulldozer.” By “Bulldozer” you mean the No Love music video?
You had me at "I love this lead singer. I believe everything he's saying." I couldn't stop laughing.
Zach Hill was in a band called Hella, like everyone had been saying. However, he has some solo records which are fantastic.There is a song called Necromancer, it’s pure rhythmic bliss.
YESSSSSSS
the Necromancer live video is peak zach hill
I enjoyed seeing your Death Grips-fueled rage peep out for a hot second at the end when you tossed your drumsticks
I am living for this reaction. You should see Zach Hill play an entire Death Grips album handcuffed for no reason.
Also check out the bands: Hella, Lightning Bolt, Meshuggah (“Clockworks” or “Bleed”), Deantoni Parks, & Ian Chang (also Ian Chang’s Sunhouse demonstrations are cool).
There's no way to prepare yourself for DG if you've never heard them. Great reaction, and great to see you enjoy it. I've been a Zach Hill fan since the first Hella record, and DG still hit(s) me with surprises.
You're reaction was moving.
THAT'S what it's all about. ♥
3:50
This sentence right here describes all of their music.
Experimental hip hop is the best way to describe this masterpiece of a group... love Death Grips and their impact on music culture
And they are Sacramento based group
“What am I listening to?”
I think everyone has that reaction when they first hear Death Grips lol
My god he’s done it
Honestly from a drummer technicality Zach Hill is in his own strange world a world of great discography to explore highly recommend
I think he has long transcended technicality, without losing it, but layering more direct feeling or something like that that is communicated on top. (He’s one of my favorites too, so not disagreeing just adding my own flavor)
You've gotta do Brian Chippendale. his main band is Lightning Bolt, his solo project is called Black Pus. Pretty much all videos are good but I'd especially recommend Dead Cowboy by Lightning Bolt at TAICOCLUB and "Black Pus in his crazy attic"
Kevin Slappey HELL YES
I was just thinking... If this dude didn't know Zach Hill, he must be oblivious to Chippendale as well...
Blow to the Head would also be a great one to get a reaction from
TAICOCLUB is the peak of lightning bolt
Beck every time someone brings up that set I think of that random cut of the dude upside down pumping his legs getting shoved by security
Watching someone realize and appreciate the beauty of Death Grips for the first time gives me SO MUCH JOY. Hell YES. Thank you
“Man tries to categorize death grips for ten minutes straight”
Wow.. you hit the _"Sonic Youth"_ nail right on the damn head.
Rock on Rhythm Brother🤘
You haven't even seen his practice routine.
Btw, those are the drum fills from the original track when they were living on food stamps in a Sacramento business complex basement.
It only gets crazier from there-on-out
"what am I listening to?" -- very typical reaction to anything Zach Hill has his hands in
Holy shit this guys take on Death Grips makes me want to listen to every other take you have damn man that’s some solid fucking analysis
Hell yeah videos everyday, I can get used to this 🤙🏻
I hope so!!
In 2009, Zach was playing with a band called Wavves. There’s an amazing live video that came out when they played in new york. It’s insane because he’s playing these simple rock beats and then breaking into these psychotic fills. He’s incredible. He’s done so many projects before death grips and he’s one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen in my life
It’s your first time and you nailed all the correct reactions.
It’s really cool to hear this group processed from a rock music fan’s point of view. Love the comparisons to huge classic rock drummers in this extremely different genre, and your enthusiasm is way relatable.
this video gives me kind of wholesome feeling i imagine someone would get if they found out about Kero Kero Bonito through Death Grips
Can confirm
Yeah that's how I found out about KKB
Jeez am I the only one who likes KKB (especially time'n'place) outside their bubbly wholesome personna?
5:20 best description I've found so far
I love how enthused you get, the head bops to the bass, this is awesome
Vomiting from their soul is a great way to describe the music of the Grips
"Everyone on stage is vomiting from their soul" Not a bad compliment. XD
Yeah I was thinking they would probably find that a compliment
Everyone on stage vomiting from their soul. Okay, nailed it.
Your reaction and facial expressions and attitude towards the music with the head bobs matched mine and ive been listening to this song for a lonnggg time
Describing Death Grips as three dudes vomiting out their souls is probably the most apt death grips description I've ever seen
It’s crazy how rapid your upload schedule has been recently. Keep killing it!
Haha. I ain't got anything else to do
I’d recommend checking out Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt now, crazy noise rock drumming
I was just about to write that
I’m literally going to repost this comment because I was about to post the same exact thing.
couldnt give a better recommendation than him
Seeing drummers react to Zach’s setup will always be hilarious
i flew out to houston texas fron new york just to see them live. best time of my life!!!!!
My introduction to death grips was through their song "no love" the track starts with mc ride wailing and then the most monsterous beat I'd ever heard in my life consumed me. it sounded like Godzilla was walking through a city leaving a path of destruction in his wake. the most brutal and powerful sounding music I'd heard up to that point. this guy had a perfect first reaction.
What a dope reaction
This is one of my favorite TH-cam videos, and I've watched it multiple times.
Thank ya!
Zach Hill is a beast. Massive genius, he's done so much cool stuff and worked with a lot of people.
"Mutant free-noise death-jazz no-hop"... That's how I always describe DG to friends who have never heard them.
Those drum fills remind me a lot of the way Vinnie Colaiuta would play when he was with Frank Zappa in the 70’s
Damn. Mind blown!
I come on back to this video once in a while just to see one of my favorite groups get put on and reviewed. just love it
Whats up man, ive been drumming since i was 8, 18 now, i had a really great teacher when i was younger and i got a lot of respect for teachers out there, just subbed, keep the videos up
the music bypasses all of the systems we use to comprehend things (logic, language, reason, etc.) and makes you understand it on a primal level akin to a psychedelic trip (have you ever tried to explain a revelation to someone after the trip wears off lol?). solid vid, glad u enjoyed them so much =)
Full moon death classic has a drum beat thats almost imperceptible
best reaction vid I've seen, thoroughly genuine! I'd love to just hear your thoughts on Zach Hill post... knowledge. lol this being 3 years old
This is the best reaction video I've seen in a year.
you should check out Fletcher Shears of “The Garden”
Hey man, big fan of this series. However it would be cool if you dissect one or two beats/fills that you like from each video and do a quick tutorial/breakdown!
I've done that on videos before!!
Check out the Baard Kolstad vid
Junkdrummer TV oh! Just mustn’t have been ones that I’ve watched haha
I'm a big death grips fan and this video is equally satisfying!
This is so wholesome I love it. Subscribed
Listen to more DG! Guillotine is from their first EP their music gets better.
The Money Store is one of the most complete albums ever, they were a little raw here.
Their first EP is the Death Grips EP, Exmilitary is their second.
@@GamingOS also its a mixtape not ep
Check out his debut album, is one of the finest piece of art you could ever find
I've never seen a better positive reaction , instant fan my guy. Stay safe ✌️

A lot of people look over Zach Hill. He is one of the best drummers of all time, no question, especially if we talk about Math Rock.
"That's like if Questlove," I was gonna say, "Was homeless and schizophrenic."

I really miss Death Grips right now
Watching someone listen to DG for the first time is almost as rewarding as hearing them for the first time yourself!

not downtown NY, though, my friend. Sacramento
Little did he know that was the happy version of Guillotine
As a ginormous death grips fan, dude? you completely nailed it all. loved this review.
Beautiful honest reaction, subscribed!!
i've heard from a friend that he got into death grips a bit because of this video, thanks so much for sharing how you feel about it
