Brian Chase (born February 12, 1978) is an American drummer playing in the New York rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. He was ranked at #50 in Gigwise's list of The Greatest Drummers of All Time.[1] He plays drums with traditional grip.[2]

Career

Chase met Karen O at Ohio's Oberlin College, and he joined the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in 2000 after the original drummer left the trio.[3]

Starting at college, Chase played for the rock band The Seconds.[4]

He has performed in a number of experimental duos with other musicians such as Stefan Tcherepnin and Seth Misterka, with whom he released a CD Duo on the Australian Heathen Skulls label in 2007.[5] Other musicians he has played with include Jessica Pavone, Mary Halvorson, Moppa Elliott, and groups Oakley Hall, Blarvuster, and klezmer-fusionists The Sway Machinery[6]

In May 2010 the Chase/Misterka Duo performed at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival[7] and then a month-long Australian tour. A second record The Shape of Sound was released to coincide.[8]
