Zach Hill (born December 28, 1979) is an American drummer and visual artist. He is best known as the drummer and co-producer of Sacramento-based experimental hip hop group Death Grips and math rock band Hella.
In addition to music, Hill is also a visual artist. He published a fully illustrated book, Destroying Yourself is Too Accessible, which included the Zach Hill and Holy Smokes album "Masculine Drugs" Released in 2004 on TNI books and Suicide Squeeze Records.
The Sacramento, California art space Fools Foundation ran an exhibition of Hill's art, titled "Poltergeist", from April 1 to 29 in 2006. Parts of the exhibit are visible in the photos accompanying Hill's article in the August 2006 issue of Modern Drummer and on the Fools Foundation website.
Hill was said to be working on an original feature film in 2013, which was confirmed to feature late actress Karen Black in a leading role. However, she had died before the film could come into full fruition. It has been rumored that either Death Grips or Hill's side-project, The I.L.Y.'s, would be involved with the soundtrack of the film as well.
