He is Top 2 for me. The other was Neal Peart. Interesting for the opposite reasons. Peart used an insanely maximum kit to its best effect. Greg takes barely anything and makes it sound huge.
HAha at some point he mentioned Lightning Bolt was his favorite band. I just imagine Bowie in disguise at a LB concert. Lol. Think he saw them when they were playing with Sonic Youth
It's amazing how they can make it sound so disjointed one moment and so cohesive the next. It takes skill to do that. Brilliant band and a brilliant song.
One of the best bands of the last 20 years in my opinion. Edge of your seat unpredictability and raw creativity that destroys musical cliches! Makes me want to be in this kind of band, but where are these types of players? I guess if it were easy to come by it wouldn't be as precious. I have been playing bass for other people for 10 years and have been going through a depression, but this brings me back to the feeling of excitement i once had for music! Great job guys! i really get this!
OMFG, I need a smaller drum kit! I swear Greg gets more mileage out of a 3-piece kit than any rock dummer I've ever seen. I love everything about this band. I could see a Deerhoof show every night and I'd never get tired of it. All fun and no pretense. I only discovered their music a couple of years ago and only just saw them live for the first time last week, but daaaaaam! I do not know how I somehow missed hearing about them for the first 18+ years of their career. Then again, it's kinda cool to discover a band after they've gotten this good and then finding out they have a dozen albums waiting for you to hear for the first time. It's sorta like finding a wallet full of money that you lost a decade ago and being like, oh wow, THEREs that wallet I lost a decade ago, and holy shit, look at all that MONEY in there! But seeing Deerhoof live is even better than that -- these guys know what the hell they are doing and they have fun doing it, and it shows.
If you like minimal drum kits, check out the work of Zach Hill with Hella and Death Grips, as well as solo material and wavves. To me, he is even more impressive.
He’s played 2-piece kits with even more fierce stick slapping. I swear I don’t know how he does it. He said somewhere in that what’s in my bag interview or something that he expresses his less dorky side through his drums then giggles in a Greg way. Dude is just great.
I'm so sick of older people (like me) saying music just isn't the same anymore, that all that was good stopped with Steely Dan or REM or Pearl Jam or whoever the fuck, pick the era. Deerhoof proves, definitively, that music is better than it's ever been, alive and well
I may sound stupid, but this coordinated noise is actually impressive. I mean, it may sound like a mess, but it's actually organized, timed and tight. It's... confusing me. I can't actually like it, but I can't hate it either.
It's bloody brilliant. Saw them this past summer in Leeds and they are as astonishing as they seem. You put it very well - sounds like a mess but it is amazingly tight and poly-rhythmic. All. The. Time. Mind blown.
i love deerhoof, my life has been crazy but deerhoofs music brings back the true vibes, im one who has been emailing you guys idunno if many do that lol, wanti!!! its real, the world is real!!
This a creative person's band. They are my oasis away from the left-brain world and their top 40 music. So thankful to God that I get it and I understand them. They rook.
Great performance, or though the audio on the video is a bit biased towards the left side of the stage, which kind of makes sense. Either that or it's soundboard but Greg Saunier was playing rather loudly...
Yes that was improve...but still following the general sound of the song "Panda". But then again, they improve EVERY time they play live...Greg doesn't adhere to a specific drum routine but he stays with the general sound of the song he plays. same goes with John, Ed and Satome.
Did they just have a jam and that's what this is? It doesn't sound rehearsed at all. At times it really locks in, and others it's kind of clashing. I'm not talking about syncopation. I'm talking about not all playing the same song. :)
+Cocaine Meth Deerhoof uses drums and amp cabinets from the venue. Greg doesn't own a drum set, I think, maybe a digital one for recording. Only a keyboard to compose songs with. His skill is amazing. By the way, I loved you in Intervention.
I have to tell to Greg does he know Drum brand KUMU?They are made here in Finland.Hand made completely of course.Material is Finnish birch. Take a look for them.Best of the best I think(I am not drummer but guitarist). This video has best drum sound's that I have ever heard.Bass drum almost stop heart.What set it is?Anyone knows?

I think of this video every time someone mentions quantizing.
The perfect example of the definition
every time you think that greg lost the beat, he comes right back in time almost like he was trying to trick you. its so impressive.
He’s bending time the way a guitarist bends a note🎉
The drummer is a super-human.
No, its just Greg from Deerhoof.
Greg Saunier. We're not trying to be dicks, by the way
Ubermensch
This might be my favourite live performance by anyone ever. This band is fuckin weird and I love them
Greg Saunier is a beast. One of my favorite drummers for sure.
He is Top 2 for me. The other was Neal Peart. Interesting for the opposite reasons. Peart used an insanely maximum kit to its best effect. Greg takes barely anything and makes it sound huge.
David Bowie loved Deerhoof, no surprise there....he always had impeccable taste
TheCannedWalrus interesting
Source of him liking Deerhoof?
He was a fan of black flag as well.🤔
@@evanabbott2737 Like he said, impeccable taste.
HAha at some point he mentioned Lightning Bolt was his favorite band. I just imagine Bowie in disguise at a LB concert. Lol. Think he saw them when they were playing with Sonic Youth

almost forgot to watch this today
This video lives rent free in my head
2:35 that fucking fill kills me hahahahaha
+mariorossipuzza It's the sound when you knock over a small bucket full of brushes.
mariorossipuzza that was the point in the video where I involuntarily exclaimed "Yes!"

Better late than never, but you can start insane things like this with a sequencer...
Try jam nites. They're full of stoners. That's where they are.
hey wondering how ur journeys going now man

+The Great Magnet I like Greg's creativity and unpredictabilty better, but technically Zach is probably much more skilled.
He used to play barefoot with just a high hat, bass, and snare. I miss that he is too fancy these days.

Dude is just great.
The most original band of the last 20 years. Love these crazy guys
Incredible drumming like making melodies by drums.
Best drummer of the World not of the Universe.Incredible endurance.
Hi from Finland.
I think that the beginning is Intro to Panda,pure improvisation?
This drumming blows my mind every time it is so perfect and creative.
such a beautiful live band. as good as it gets.
It's been about 5 years I've heard this band, and god damn do I miss them. Seeing them in a few months. Can't fucking wait.
Just love this band. Saw them recently at the Brudenell in Leeds. Most amazing. Thrilling.
what a blast to watch this guy drum.

Sorry, but Deerhoof is the exception to the rule.

Mind blown.
@@jusbe47 I agree. Trashing the kit just for the f of it greatly disturbs me, though. There's no point to it.
Coordinated noise... is that not music?
I have no idea what they are doing, but glad they did it!
this is a masterpiece
Cracked cymbals, Deerhoof don’t give a crap! You guys rawk
The drummer is the absolute foundation of that band.
Nothing against the rest of the musicians but he is the wizard behind the curtain.
Deerhoof, you have outdone yourselves! Brilliant!
1:26 - there’s that grin
Definitely grooving drummer, thank you for sharing this excellent music
the syncronicity between all four of them is actually insane. i wanna see a scientific paper on deerhoof.
Love this so much!
Vídeo that introduced me to deerhoof
I am ready for their album of Meters covers.
i love this so much
thats some funky shit
Holy fucking shit so badass I’m in awe
A beautiful demonstration of entropy
What a treat!
pure music, pure pleasure .
This video changed my life
fill @ 2:35 i will never get out of my head
I'm stuck on 2:15. Jesus Christ almighty.
2.15 and 2.35 live in my head rent free
What is going on? I dont care this is the best thing ive ever seen
How the fuq did he nail that intro so perfectly?!
i love deerhoof, my life has been crazy but deerhoofs music brings back the true vibes, im one who has been emailing you guys idunno if many do that lol, wanti!!! its real, the world is real!!
Man I want to see them live...
totally awesome start to end.

God brought me here. And he's playing the drums.

His hihats are so broken.
amazing!
AAAHH you guys rock.
I love you guys
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So… This is where all the jazz went! Fuckin awesome. ❤
Aghh.. Greg is so awesome.
Greg Saunier, best in the pocket drummer on the planet.
such a great gag
impeccable
god this band is so sick
I like it!
OMFG!!
best band
Michael cera on guitar
This a creative person's band. They are my oasis away from the left-brain world and their top 40 music. So thankful to God that I get it and I understand them. They rook.
Why can't you do both?
Sometimes, 2 chord country songs and just bashing away on acoustic guitar are really fun. Requires no thought.
😂 highhorse
rhythmic genius.
sooooooooooo goood
I can see Baker and Copeland nodding along contently in the background. :-)
the start reminded me of "Respectable Street" by XTC
WoW!
I heard some Miles Davis (electric period) in there.
the boy's done Jim Henson proud
The first guitarist looks like Brian Gibson
Best
When you get name-checked by Bowie, yer on yer way.
I no get it ?
Great performance, or though the audio on the video is a bit biased towards the left side of the stage, which kind of makes sense.

Eds Haircut in this is so Fonky *_*
when everyone has the panda dunks
this video make me go kinda crazy. Shanghi,bye bye
what song is this?
darude - sandstorm
This is one of those videos that I unlike just to like it again, every time I watch it.
The borderline between genius and insanity is really fine but you always make it by a hair's breadth I flove your band.
Note to self: Anyone can be a band if you have this drummer.
Did they just have a jam and that's what this is? It doesn't sound rehearsed at all.
At times it really locks in, and others it's kind of clashing. I'm not talking about syncopation. I'm talking about not all playing the same song. :)
Someone please tell me what kind of ride cymbal that is I WANT IT
Cocaine Meth from what i can see i think it might be a Dream Bliss Ride (probably 22"), but i can't be certain!
Dale Cooper It is! Thanks! I actually bought one too haha! loved you in twin peaks btw
Dale Cooper actually I ain't sure either but i DID buy one

@@rjwusher Oh, this is the "house kit." Lol. Explains why he's just beating the f our of it for 0 obvious reason.
Drummer is Dreaming
similar to Captain Beef Hoof. Thanks
I have to tell to Greg does he know Drum brand KUMU?They are made here in Finland.Hand made completely of course.Material is Finnish birch.
Take a look for them.Best of the best I think(I am not drummer but guitarist).
This video has best drum sound's that I have ever heard.Bass drum almost stop heart.What set it is?Anyone knows?
looks like a yamaha 9000 kit
+mariorossipuzza Now I know he uses Slingerland drums.
Have you heard Steve Smith? Neil Peart?
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Of course. Rush one of my favourite bands, Neil R.I.P.
First one I check.
wasnt expecting the Dead in the middle of that song. Deerhoof surprises again. Hope the drummer got his hihat fixed. on second thought, no I dont.
At 1:28 when Greg turned at the camera and smirked I lost my breath
Well that's fu*ked up everyone else's encore.
Konnichiwa ... Are the Japanese media and tv outlets aware of satomi as a new age Yoko Ono!?
This is awasome. In an alternate universe, this could be the cast from The Big Bang Theory.
シュールで単調な歌と相性が良すぎる
I get real bruford face expression vibes from greg
Is it "Greg" or is it "Germar", as in Germar Rudolf? I'd swear you're the spitting image of one another.
Stewart Copeland faces at 1:12
I'm only kidding of course. This fellow is a phenomenal drummer.
Twitch Mctwist
If she were damo suzuki.
I love them but sometimes I want them to take qualudes
They'd turn into a mathy, noise rock version of Melvins or Boris lmao
I'm disturbed by destroying the kit for 0 gain or reason.
