Tragedy struck the music world this past weekend, when drummer Jerry Fuchs tragically died from injuries sustained resulting from falling five stories down an elevator shaft. He was known as a legendary drummer of this era, and had played in bands like The Juan Maclean, MSTRKRFT, LCD Soundsystem, !!!, Holy Ghost! and Turing Machine. He had recently been on tour with Maserati. He was also a prolific graphic designer and freelance writer for Entertainment Weekly. He was just thirty-four years old. God rest your soul and God bless your family, friends and fans.

I saw Jerry perform just once earlier this year. I didn’t know who he was but told friends after the show that “that dude with the awesome ‘stache was incredible”! I hate to hear of this great loss.
Here are some photos I took of Jerry Fuch at that Juan Maclean show at The Earl in May 2009. He is really in his element behind that drum kit.
