That Dave Grohl isn’t everyone at the Foo Fighters to the drums is understandable. On the one hand he is one of the most famous drummers in the world, on the other hand the successor must be his late friend and bandmate Taylor Hawkins be equal. Because the band will go on tour again in the summerbut a decision has to be made – and it seems that which drummer will be given the honor of drumming with the Foo Fighters could soon be announced.
The new Foo Fighters drummers are no strangers
Like the British newspaper “The Sun” wants to know from a reliable source, two well-known drummers are said to have been hired. One of them is Matt Cameron, the drummer of Pearl Jam and once Soundgarden. That is also obvious, after all, Taylor Hawkins and he were good friends. The musician also has a friendly relationship with Dave Grohl. In addition, Atom Willard, drummer of Angels and Airwaves and Against Me!, preparing to play the upcoming live shows with the Foo Fighters. “The Foos have been working with a number of musicians close to Taylor and the band over the past few months. Matt and Atom are the favorites for the performances, the first of which is in May,” the band said.
Both drummers should take turns
“First and foremost it will be Matt, but Atom will take turns playing with him. The two were rehearsing at Studio 606, the Foos’ studio,” the anonymous source continued. “Final preparations are being made, but it’s very likely that Matt will be performing in the US this summer.” Live dates will be aired.
On the other hand, it is unlikely that both musicians will become permanent members of the Foo Fighters. It is conceivable that the band will record and tour with changing drummers in the future until they are ready to add a permanent replacement for Taylor Hawkins to the group.
