Taylor Hawkins
Documented by Drum Faster
Foo Fighters' beloved powerhouse from 1997 until his passing in 2022 — a Roger Taylor disciple with a surf-rock grin, equal parts finesse and fury. His blue-sparkle Gretsch became one of rock's most recognisable kits.
2021 — Medicine at Midnight tour
The final touring rig: blue-sparkle Gretsch USA Custom, his signature Gretsch snare, and a Zildjian setup crowned by a massive ride. A modern classic-rock kit through and through.
