I read a couple of weeks ago that Matt Cameron was a possibility. It was rumoured that Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine) had offered to hold them up as a touring drummer until they could recruit someone permanently, but was too dedicated to Rage to join Foo Fighters full time. Apparently he was a big fan of Hawkins and could already play all the songs. Rage recently had to cancel their tour, so he was available.
