Taylor Hawkins Drum Solo at Foo Fighters Concert

taylor-hawkins-jr-rush-bannerHere’s an awesome video of Taylor Hawkins going off on the drums during a live drum solo at a Foo Fighters concert. His concert toms in the middle of the solo just sound perfect. The best part is at the end of the drum solo when he plays a drum fill using double bass and toms. This evolves into a cross sticking section between the floor tom and snare drum which is very similar to a signature Neil Peart drum lick.

Mr. Peart happens to be one of Taylor’s favorite drummers and now a good friend. Taylor sent the picture seen to the right to Neil and explained his drummer was sitting in front of the RUSH banner that Taylor always wanted to own as a kid.
