Talk:Zach Hill

The primary aspects of Zach's career
I added, in the main paragraph, that as a musician, Zach is primarily known as being a drummer. Before it simply stated he was a musician, which I felt meritted some elaboration. I further stated that Zach's primary group is Hella, being that a) he has recorded more work with them than anyone else by far, and b) his albums with Hella are as or more popular than other albums he has recorded on, except probably Team Sleep. Anyone disagree with these edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryankindelan (talk • contribs) 05:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Opinion
I've seen Hella a couple times and I could swear that he uses a double bass pedal. He definitely bounces his left foot off the high hat constantly while playing. The action of which I attributed to the constant ba-BUMP ba-BUMP ba-BUMP bassdrum present underneath his playing. (In reference to the claim that people are wrong to believe that he uses double bass.) --Anthony without a Wiki account 16:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I GUARANTEE you he does not use a double bass pedal. Just look at the Hella dvd "Concentration Face" which has many clear shots of his foot work. You can probably find photos online that have clear shots of his feat as well. Cyclopseslayer

He is only using one foot for sure. For sure. "Concentration Face" shows it all. --Machty 18:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I Went to Grade School, and Jr High with Zach and I remember he started druming in at least 93 maybe earlier and he was a great cartoonist he could draw some crazy stuff. Talented Guy. I still have my Jr High Year Book with Zach in it.
 * Really? I went to High School with his brother, Noah. R&#39;son-W 05:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I also went to grade school, middle school, and high school with zac and he MOST definitely not self taught. I remember him going to band practice for drumming and he started drumming around 6th to 7th grade so around 91 or 92. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.6.108 (talk) 06:36, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hold on there! That's a serious accusation! He very may well of practiced drumset basics and the fundamentals of fitting into a musical setting with a group of people. As to receiving any formal instruction, hella freak'n no! Zach is a musical prodigy. He has pioneered his own brand of drumming that raises the bar and pushes the limits of the art ridiculously. I seriously challenge anyone to find an instructor who can teach anyone 95% of his unbelievably long and accomplished musical resume. His approach is completely unconventional and original so even if he wasn't "self taught" no one showed him how to do it. Previously uninvented, the style he plays is his invention. He sure is a single kick drummer. If you still refuse to take my word for it, just check out the Zach Hill unedited version of the Van's shoe commercial along with concentration face or the countless other clear shots on youtube. I can't even believe someone who claim's to of known him and doesn't spell his name correctly could say "MOST definitely not self taught". But hey, I'm sure your the upmost authority on Zach's entire life and career in music and art.More so than himself or his fans. What an absurd comment to post. Anyone with chops as original and inhumanly sick as Zach definitely possesses the ability to teach himself. I've been a fan for a while now, and never lost a bit of enthusiasm. In fact, excitement only grows for the drummer who averages at least five full-length albums a year. His music reached me at a difficult point in my life and helped me a great deal. Through his projects I've discovered so many other creative musicians. As an artist and drummer for fifteen years now myself, he was the first musician to inspire me to do something totally different. Not to attempt to mock or recreate his or anyone elses style, but to form one of my own. He's such a multidementional person in all of the bands he's in. This also inspired me to create music on every level instead of just the drums. Cannot wait to hear Face Tat and the long awaited new Hella or anything else that he gets involved with.-Jim in Milwaukee, March 2010

I think the article needs some sources for the "Zach is self taught" quote, and the section about how he is a "hard hitter." Julian Maestas 15:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
