Jerry Fuchs, drummer for several bands, including !!!, the Juan MacLean, Maserati, and Turing Machine, died Saturday night after a fall down a Brooklyn elevator shaft, the New York Post reports. He was 34 years old.

According to the Post, Fuchs was attending a benefit party in Williamsburg when he and a friend became stuck in an elevator between floors. The two opened the elevator doors and attempted to jump across the elevator shaft to the nearest floor. The friend made it; Fuchs didn't.

In a post on his website, Juan MacLean writes, "Jerry was one of my best and most loyal friends. He was hands-down the best drummer I have ever played with or seen for that matter."

A post on the Maserati website reads, "We are humbled to have been able to create music with you for all these years, Jerry. You will be missed more than words can express. We love you, bro."
