Only just heard of Taylor's passing and I'm shocked. I can't say I've listened to much of the Fighters but from what I have heard, Taylor was one hell of a drummer and the band won't be the same without him. RIP
unbelievably sad
Humble, smart, articulate and friendly with the heart of a energetic kid. Huge loss.
The fact that he’s a Queen fan is one of the huge amount of qualities that he has
His kit looks hammered and dirty ....but it sounds so damn organic and that is so beautiful
Yep that's gretsch for you, they age beautifully
Basically the kit looks great, but the heads are really used. Some drummers like old, well used heads because they're broken in and some like the sound they make. I'm kind of OCD when it comes to that, I don't like beat up, nasty heads. I love that Gretsch Renown 57 Chevy Motor City Blue kit, I love the chrome trim pieces.
Julia Francis it's just the heads, & if they're not broken, why change them...
That is a gretsch renown kit. American maple. Sounds fantastic to me!
I think most drummers would play their heads for longer if they wern't endorsed.
If I ever get endorsed, I'm changing those fuckers every 2 or 3 shows.
He is really good at being under appreciated

A terrible skill.
Oggy Oggy You need to get your ass beat
Sending a hug to everyone in pain
He found his life's purpose at the age of 10 while I'm halfway through college, eating junk food and physically crying about having no clue of what to do hahaha
just keep searching. you'll be 50 before you know it. really.
Wow! You’re clueless and a crybaby.
Good luck.
Oggy Oggy straight savage
Just a suggestion. Have your whole natal chart done. See what it says about your career aspirations. You just might get some insight.
Caleb Garza College is overrated. Most companies are going to train you, regardless of position. Just finish a degree if some sort. Its about who you know.
I'm so sad. He was such a great person. Rest in peace. Your music will live forever!
He comes off as a really nice, articulate guy.

Maybe he is.
Oggy Oggy He is.
He's lovely
Taylor is one of my favorites... and that kit sounds simply amazing!
Check out Pierre Moerlen, Terry Bozzio, Ralph Humphrey and Billy Cobham
That Great Gretsch Sound ;)
Isn't that ironic don't ya think he went from playing with Alannis Percocet to Foo fighters that's awesome he's a great drummer
Taylor Hawkins is a drummer I studied throughout my adolescence and teen years as a drummer because I always believed he wielded an unbreakable control and poise on the kit. always laying down an amazing rock groove.
The man is incredible. He’s the drummer “the heartbeat of the Foo Fighters”, for real good reason lol! I see him in the same light as I would a David Bowie, of course. All humans. Some just get more attention than others
Humble musicians of this caliber and level of fame are inspiring as hell. What a guy.
I love how Taylor's drum set isn't pristine, the skins are beat to shit, the cymbal felts are odd. It's a proper jam room!
And it's like I've lost and old friend too buddy. I'm crying since I've heard the sad news. May you have a nice journey.
3:19 I'll bet he was jamming on Fool In The Rain - Led Zeppelin.
I met him in Cape Town randomly while working. He was totally cool and a true dude and gentleman. Huge respect for paying attention to a bunch of peeps who on a normal day would be ignored.
Vortex Afternoon Music that's awesome. i hope i can meet him one day, he's one of my drumming inspirations.
For anyone's interest, the picture with Dave Grohl was taken at Slane Castle, Ireland 2003. I know because I was there. 80,000+ people. Unbelievable show!
Lineup
PJ Harvey
Feeder
Queens of the Stone Age
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Headlining)
It was incredible as Foo's had just released "One by One." QOTSA had just released "Songs for the Deaf" and The Chilli's had just released "By the Way." 3 great albums! Ps. I was at a Metallica show just two days earlier in Dublin.... a proper week of Rock!
Kevin Ryder Thats so amazing dude!!!
holy fuck that's incredible. the chili's, while i'm not so hot on by the way, were at the peak of their stage presence at that show. pj harvey was doing great as well.
That’s freaking dope! Would’ve loved to experience that but I was 2 💀
R.I.P
What a beautiful soul.
The mannerisms, who borrowed from whom, between Taylor and Dave.
Taylor is a bad ass drummer and a bad ass singer too. Much respect.
One of my favorite musicians, just a cool guy and a passionate drummer.
I cannot believe you're gone man, i just can't believe it.
To the Dads out there. If you have a son or daughter with a gift and a passion that they find when they're young, your job is to help them make it their job. Love, attention and focus is all they need. Done.
What a gorgeous drum kit! While he might not remember that Glasgow Green show I do, what a lineup that day!
I met Taylor 2 times in the 90's and couldn't believe it that he remembered meeting the 1st time .... his loving energy and creativity is expressed clearly in his magic. Love his work on the reissued Dennis Wilson songs
Rumble Fish poster on the wall. That takes me back, sitting with my dad in the lounge with the lights off watching an S.E. Hinton double bill on BBC2 with The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. Recorded it on VHS and then watched both over and over again. Its now 20+ years later, in the last 7 years I've lost numerous friends and my mother. I'd give it all to be sat back in the lounge, watching it on TV and to have it all ahead of me again.
Damn I miss you, Taylor. I’m sorry you lost your battle to drugs. You were a legend, man. We’ll never forget you.
His playing in this interview was so smooth and relaxed compared to the foo's usual tight time signature. Loved it, very buttery.
one of my favorite drummer. A piece of his drum kit was on the wall of Hard Rock cafe here in Malaysia
Fame hasn’t changed this guy. So humble
No words to expresa such a loss...eternal and brillant...thanks for ever...you'll be in our hearts...for ever ♡♡♡
A humble guy who knows how blessed he is. And a fucking good drummer!
Thank you FF for all the amazing music you have given us to listen to and cherish forever. Taylor you were an amazing musician. My thoughts and prayers are with your wife, kids, friends, family, and of course the FF and crew. A special prayer is for Dave and hope that he will get the strength to make it through this. I have heard his say in interviews that he really had a hard time after Kurt. Taylor and Dave were like brothers. I am still in shock and my heart is still breaking. Such a loss.
Taylor Hawkins you are cutting yourself to short, you are rock royalty and a legend! Great of you to be so humble, you totally
ROCK with the best of them!!
That kit looks like a 57 Chevy. Sweet!
its a renown 57 gretsch kit
Similar story...buddy had an old Whitehall kit in his garage....sat behind them and played the intro to "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 having never played before...my friend was blown away and ended up selling me the kit for $65.00. That was 32 years ago...drums saved my life and gave me something to do creatively. Gave me direction and aspiration. His kit sounds great....dirty or not, I have a kit made up from various brands and they "match" amazingly to my ear...look like hell but they sound incredible!!
Douglas Schramm
Same here.
Although I don’t have any drums and have never tried playing.
Saved a lot of time.
Such a great groovy rock and roll drummer this guy is. Totally the spirit of Bonham in his playing IMHO.
Your in the realm of Mick Fleetwood and John Bonham-you are the beating heart of the band. God bless-love you rhythmic style.
Great guy and fantastic drummer!
Nice pradiddle-diddle at the end there. As well as an awesome collection!
Sry my man, but isn't that a six stroke roll? I'm asking cause i'm trying to figure it out.
MrJoey5 think it is a 6
+MrJoey5 The Six Stroke Roll and the Paradiddle Diddle have the same sticking, they just start from different points: SSR=RllrrLRllrrLR
PDD=RLrrllRLrrll
Capitalized letters=accents
Not a Paradiddlediddle
Six Stroke Rolls (RLLRRL) are Inverted left hand paradiddle-diddles. ( LRLLRR). But they arent the same as regular paradiddle-diddles (RLRRLL)
Hawkins has freaking AMAZING taste in music!! And drummers!!!
I was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute at Wembley & after the concert was over a few of us waited back to go & get a closer look at the stage & Roger Taylor appeared & threw the drumsticks he’d used into the crowd & I caught one of them. The fat end of the stick or the bit you would normally hold was beaten to hell like he’d used them upside down. It’s only one, but do you want it to go with that snare drum? It would be like a reunion. Mark. 🇬🇧
If there were more Taylor Hawkins in the world I wouldn't hate humanity as much as I do.
D Lynn
Pathetic.
@@larjkok1184 leave
What a legend
Rest in Rock brother....
I'd have to say even though he hates doing interviews Taylor really is a likable guy. One of my biggest influences as a drummer!🤘🤘
Rest easy Taylor
I come back to this video so many times, not for the interview (alltough its a good interview), but because of the drum sound. That kit is the best sounding kit I have ever heard.
So light going, but he is so much more. Dear Taylor, brother and me really love you, man. Safe and peaceful passing.
My fav drummer. Sooooooo underrated. Talented guy. ❤️🥁
What I love about Taylor is that he seems like the kind of person who’s made great money, but only invests it in things that are really meaningful to him. I’ve never been one for status symbols and pointless over-the-top luxury, so the whole “I might drive a ‘69 Chevy” vibe is really cool.
He was just a completely obsessed with music and a kick ass drummer. Those are the people who deserve success in this business.
One of my most favorite drummers! :P
Hawkins is an awesome drummer. Reminds me of Neal Peart. Both have a lot of depth and energy.
Taylor I love your EVH Fenders. I have the Crop Circles (unchained Oakland). Yes you are up there with those drummers. Im a big Copeland fan myself.
We're proud to have funded this heartwarming initiative!
RIP to one of the greatest.
He has it hard. He has to play behind one of the best drummers in the world in concerts.
One day people will be collecting Taylor's stuff.............probably are already.
Love that Roger Taylors fun in space album on his wall and also Brian May huitar replica ... classy stuff
Cool to hear an American actually know something about living in England during the time of Punk music.
OMG! Taylor Hawkins has a Brian May RED SPECIAL, and then that same shape of guitar with a brown finish. He also has an EVH Black and White FRANKENSTRAT! He also has a the Red, White and Black Frankenstrat. This is the first time that I've seen a Black and Yellow Frankenstrat. Taylor Hawkins may not see himself in the same realm as David Bowie and Stewart Copeland of the Police, but he has his own realm!
Meanwhile the rest of the worlds drummers collect Taylors memorabilia! 🤘😆🤘
Taylors son is a drummer. I bet he will keep all of his things.
I was at that Foo Fighters show in Glasgow, was a one day festival, Queens of the Stone age played right before them.
I’m a drummer, I have purpose! JFC he’s so adorable 🥺💕🥁
I am glad to see that even rock stars appreciate autographs and music memorabilia like I do.
RIP Taylor Hawkins
an awesome guy wit some truly awesome band mates
When rock and roll becomes a museum. That's Foo Fighters to me.
Taylor I saw you play with Alanis Morrissette in Glasgow years ago, what a set you played!
Wow, I can relate to him. Hes an aminzing an cool drummer. I like his style and respect his art. Thank you Taylor! you are a great drummer for many, including me, around the world.
Such a nice guy. Such a huge loss.
Taylor Hawkins is not dead.. he just started a new life in our memories
@@papaforever3706 OK...
Loving that Red Special behind him
Him and Dave are my favorite drummers. They always put a smile on my face when I see them playing.
I love his drum faces.
Taylor Hawkins is and amongst his Rock And Roll Heroes and friends! Rest In Peace. 🎼🙏🏽
R.I.P. Taylor 😢
If I had ungodly amounts of disposable income, I'd be doing the same damn thing. That is one awesome collection!
Taylor plays HARD!! GREAT DRUMMER!!👏👏☝️✌️
That Gretsch kit sounds so BEAUTIFUL
Soo cool that this dude still is such a fan. And especially with Queen.
You can REALLY hear bonham hints in here!!!
He always has his signature face when he drums rofl love it
Can you fucking imagine selling a record or something on ebay, and when you meet up with the guy, it's fucking Taylor Hawkins?
I like Taylor Hawkins sounds great and is down to earth and seems to not take anything for granted he's got a good heart and mind and a latex back personialityi think he's better then he thinks
Cool ,Humble and Intelligent....Good traits to have if you're going to survive Rock and Roll stardom.......And off the chain when he plays !!!
Such a great man and so down to earth! you are an absolute rock legend
Don't worry Taylor, I love ya. Power to the drummers!
this guy is a treasure
Renown '57! My same craigslist kit! Taylor Hawkins!! Hell yeah!!
I love the Rumblefish poster! I wore that soundtrack out.
Miss you, Taylor.
RIP Taylor
