According to reports, Peligro passed away October 28th, 2022 at his home due to head trauma from an accidental fall.
Peligro was best known for being the drummer of iconic US punk band Dead Kennedys. He contributed to several other projects, including a stint with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a solo album entitled “Sum of Our Surroundings.”
D.H, or Dirty to his friends, will be dearly missed.
:(
No!
RIP D.H Peligro
Well this is sad news
Rest in Peace D.H.
I was just listening to DK in the shower this morning. Aw man. RIP.
:(
Part of the soundtrack to my teenage years and beyond. Same shit they were railing against 40+ years ago just never went away (ie Kill The Poor).
RIP and thank you for so much great music.
DK was the soundtrack to my teens. You will be missed Dirty. R.I.P
RIP.
RIP King
:(
That's a big bummer. Dude was a real ripper
:(
Bummer, rest easy legend
Fuggin strange! Out of nowhere I had the urge to listen to Dead Kennedy’s yesterday. I haven’t listened to them in a long time. RIP
Isn’t there one or 2 songs credited to Peligro maybe in some non-studio release material? I assume it would’ve been with Frusciante too… as my remembering is that Jack Irons quit drumming for the band immediately upon Hillel Slovak’s death. Leaving 2 vacancies…
:(
Damn.
Growing up as a Rock fan of color in the 90s/00s I was a big fan of him and would follow his career.
Terrible news.
He played on some of the most important albums of my teen years that remain some of my favorites to this day. Rip.
He did and some were definitely on studio releases.
Taste the Pain is a great song from Mothers Milk which I believe is Kiedis-Flea-Frusciante-Peligro. Sure there were more tracks too.
This guy along with dk definitely got me through the teen years RIP my dude.
I met him at an all-ages club in San Francisco. Great person and drummer. I’m gutted.
Darren was an animal behind the kit. I loved him in the DKs! RIP, my brother 😢
Original higher ground was worked out with him, before Chad joined iirc
Saw him and the dead kennedys live in 2017. He was absolutely insane on the drums all show his energy was unmatched. Him leading the start of Nazi Punks fuck off was so good. RIP to a legend
Damn, that's unfortunate and sad. RIP
Like Jerry Brown.
Goddamn. R.I.P. D.H. Peligro. The Dead Kennedys will forever be my favorite punk band. Been listening to them for the last 15 years and they've helped me through some tough times. Just threw on Frankenchrist in his honor. His drumming is killer.
It’s a holiday in heaven rip icon
Well fuck. Been listening to em all week and now this. RIP
(slightly more) Dead Kennedys.

RIP
RIP DH. Nazi Punks can Fuck Off every fucking day! Today it's for Dante.
I like Rotting Vegetables better
Damm, RIP.
If I remember the notes, “Fish” was credited as playing drums on that track.
Wtf I was literally listening to Police Truck when I saw your post
He was in great shape playing in high level. Such a loss. RIP brother.
I have seizures frequently and hit my head on the ground or other obstacles on the way down and I wake up in bloody, piss and puke pile but I get up and live my life as normal and I won't be deterred. I am always alright in the long run but I know my fate will be similar and so this hits home hard for me especially when it's such a beloved band. Godspeed D.H Peligro. You had a life well-lived.
Frusciante fan boys are the worst, D.H Peligro was a prominent and respected musician in their own right, they have died tragically and your response is to eulogise another person entirely.
Iconic means it's well known. I've never heard of the band
What a bummer. :(
this turd
Same here...
I was telling my kid about give me convenience or give me death today.
RIP
In the context of punk, they are certainly iconic.
We’re born - we live then die…😐
Fuck. That classic Dead Kennedys lineup was very special
Amen - Dead Kennedy’s are iconic punk rockers. I used to tape them off our college radio station when I was in HS. They were like no other
[removed]
Literally one of the ground floor punks bands you first learn about. They are iconic for a reason.
This man is one of the main reasons the DKs were so great. Love and respect to D H Peligro, family and friends. The music will be played forever, it is legendary.
I bet Jerry Brown is happy with this news
The toms on California Uber Alles were legendary, such a great fucking way to start that song.
That’s some bad news , RIP D.H.
What are ya?
This is so sad! DH was such a huge part not only of DK but of the sound of punk rock.
Changed my life.
rest easy. peace.
Probably passed out after shooting up… fuck heroin.

Damn, I just saw him in Dave Grohl's documentary What Drives Us, too. RIP.
This was sad news
Perhaps he fell because he was Too Drunk To Fuck.
I remember an acapella part of a song where the band was all singing in harmony and it was really tight. I thought these guys aren't just banging they are good musicians.
RIP
Blistering fills. RIP.
I saw them in 2005. Dressed up and did my face bc I finally got to see DK live in my hometown as as thirty something. Everyone was in jeans and college tees and some Chad asked me if I was trans.
Talk about cultural appropriation.
He would have loved this comment I think
I was so confused for a while about this song, having not grown up in Jerry Brown's OG run until I finally read his wiki and realized he took a 30 year hiatus from being governor
Yeah I threw on soup is good food the other day.
Part of my user name
Rip. I was just watching their miming performance of forest fire a few days ago. Jello knocks dh over and knocks the drums everywhere. He just got up stood on the opposite side of the remaining upright drums and started half ass miming again. Absolutely legendary performance.
So it's Halloween
Saw one of those gigs in Madison, WI. First chord, crowd rushed the stage. Next thing I know, I'm laying on top of my friend who's laying on top of DH's drumkit. Eventually, we got a show, and all were in fine form.
Shocked he's gone. I never felt he was properly recognized for his talent. Dude had military precision, but could shift into a jazz groove whenever necessary. And fast. So fast.
That's actualy the only album that Peligro wasn't a part of, but great album for sure
DH was integral in DKs transitioning from a midtempo bizarro punk-rock band (Fresh Fruit) into full-on hardcore-influenced experimental post-punk (Plastic Surgery) that right at very end happened to invent crossover thrash (Bedtime). Very important band, even more important drummer for punk and hardcore. Huge huge loss. RIP
