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
