Topic title says it all. I just met this guy last month when Maserati opened for MONO. Blew my mind, he was an incredibly talented drummer for an amazing band. Not only that, but a really sweet person. This is just fucking heartbreaking.

Saw Maserati on the same tour.  Great band, and his playing in particular really stood out.  It's a terribly sad happening.

This is indeed tragic. Fuchs was a total powerhouse, an amazingly talented drummer and awe inspiring to watch perform. The music world is surely more impoverished now that he is gone.

I can't even express how truly saddened I am by this loss. Maserati made fantastic music, and Jerry absolutely completed their sound.

I read about this earlier tonight on Invisible Oranges. Jerry's drumming on Inventions for the New Season were a very large part of what made that album so wonderful, and between his work with Maserati and his contributions to many other projects he was a singular figure in the NYC indie rock scene. RIP

Shit be fucked up, boys. Great drummer. A fuckin' elevator shaft? Fucking lame.

Seriously, watch his weird ass one-handed drum-fills in this video. I hear the sound he's making but I can't even really comprehend how he's doing it.

Jerry Fuchs, you beat the fucking hell out of those drums and you'll be missed.

I assume he is referring to the tragic death of also former !!! drummer Mikel Gius, who was hit by a car while riding his bike.

This is indeed tragic, i had the chance to see him perform a couple times with !!! and the Juan MacLean and he was stellar.
