About this deal

I scrambled to get Dave’s number and called him. I said, ‘I heard you guys are looking for a drummer,’ and he said, ‘Well, do you know any?’” he said later. “I basically said to Dave, ‘I’ll play drums for you,’ and we jammed a couple of times. I remember I was at home watching [1995 erotic drama] Showgirls with my girlfriend, and Dave called to ask if I wanted to join.”

Like many top session players, Josh Freese has been somewhat of an unsung hero in the drumming world, often operating behind the scenes as he jumps between gigs. But he’s the drummer behind massive hits like Michael Buble’s “Just Haven’t Met You Yet”, “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks, and “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence. Scientifically, chemistry is defined as the study of substances. Musically, chemistry is defined as that standout, intangible œthing that brings a band together and draws an audience in. In the Foo Fighters, that was Taylor Hawkins.Being a successful and famous musician, Taylor Hawkins received numerous accolades. One of the most prestigious awards for musicians, The Grammys has nominated him up to 27 times for their ceremonies and he has rightly won 14 of them in his career. Foo Fighters albums have featured Dave Grohl’s drumming before (notably Foo Fighters and The Colour And The Shape). Despite thoroughly enjoying his time with the Foo Fighters, it still wasn’t enough for him. He would continue to write songs with his other friends and release albums and LP’s including self-titled LP, Taylor Hawkings and the Coattail Riders in 2006, Red Light Fever in 2010 and Get the Money in 2019. Taylor Hawkins died on 25 March 2022 at the age of 50. How long did Taylor Hawkins play the drums for? Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were — and without Taylor, we know that we’re going to be a very different band going forward.”

Inspired and influenced by the Police’s Stewart Copeland, he spent some time honing his skills with the experimental Orange-County band, Sylvia.

The band was understandably quiet for some time following Taylor Hawkins’ passing. It’s challenging to move forward after losing a bandmate. Avenged Sevenfold brought in Mike Portnoy after The Rev passed, and Todd Sucherman took the seat for Styx’s John Panozzo. In 1982, he saw Queen playing a show and he was immediately inspired to play the drums and make it as big as them. The same year at 10 years old, he started learning to play the drums. With all good things coming to an end, Hawkins passed away on March 25, 2022 while the Foo Fighters were on tour in Bogotá, Colombia. He’s gigged and/or recorded with Weezer, Sting, Paul Westerberg, Meredith Brooks, Paramore, Good Charlotte, Chris Cornell, Puddle of Mudd, Avril Lavigne, 100 gecs, Sublime with Rome, Ween and many more. He’s even worked with Danny Elfman.
