Foo Fighters choosing to go with two drummers for now, it appears. I'm excited to see what Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) can do, along with Atom Willard from Against Me and Angels and Airwaves.

I guess they spent a lot of time playing with a bunch of drummers to see best fit. This is a case where no one will live up to what Taylor brought to the band, but it's nice to see them move on and continue to play as a band.

Part of me thought they'd go with Shane Hawkins on drums after he showed to be able to play incredibly. As much as it'd be a feel good story, I bet the band figured it isn't good to get a kid into that rock n roll, touring environment before he's had a chance to grow up.
