Taylor Hawkins

In an interview with Guitar Center, Taylor Hawkins' Foo Fighters kit is discussed:

"Today, Hawkins plays a Gretsch USA Custom set with the Foo Fighters. For some recordings, he uses vintage Gretsch kits, but his USA Custom configuration, which has seen plenty of action both live and in the studio, consists of a 16x24" kick drum, a brass black-lacquered 6.5x14 snare, rack toms measuring 5x8, 6.5x10 and 11x13, two floor toms (14x16 and 16x18) and a Remo 14" Rototom above and between the two floor toms."

This Drum set is listed on his Wikipedia page as his current touring setup in Coattail Riders. 22x16 Bass Drum,13x9 Rack Tom, 16x16 Floor Tom,14x6.5 Wood Snare Drum.

In this video, at the 0:16 second mark you see Taylor Hawkins' drumset with a painted LP Rock Classic Ridge Rider Cowbell. It is also noted in an interview for Guitar Center (http://gc.guitarcenter.com/interview/taylor-hawkins/) that he uses an LP Cowbell: "Hawkins frequently mounts a Latin Percussion cowbell to the right of his first floor tom..."

This Isn't The Exact Photo For It But You Can See Taylor Using A White OCDP Drum Kit For Monkey Wrench

(For The Videos There Are Plenty More On Their VEVO Channel But This Is Just An Example) You Can See The Bass Drum Head For The Drum Kit

You can see this kit being used in a bunch of festivals that the Foo Fighters did back in 2000, and you can see Taylor using this kit for their performance at The Chapel in Melbourne, Australia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UwwjA7yqdo&t=1083s).

Can be seen throughout the video for the china and crashes

According to the Zildjian Drumstick artist page, Taylor Hawkins has his own Signature Series drumsticks.

In this video, a Gretsch rep shows off the Taylor Hawkins Signature Series Snare Drum at the NAMM show.

"We have Taylor’s new Signature Series snare drum that we worked with Taylor on. This is a 6.5x14 black nickel over steel, it’s a 10 lug drum, really opens up, sounds great, comes in with Remo Emperor X batter head on here. It’ s a cool drum that’s really accessible for many drummers. Taylor was really asking to have a drum developed that a lot of drummers could have access to. So I think you’ll find the price points appealing, and it’s a drum that Taylor really likes, he checked out, he’s played it in the studio, he said, “yeah, that’s a very cool drum.” So we’re really happy to work with Taylor on a signature badge, it has his hawk on it, it’s just kind of fresh for Gretsch."

Used on the Concrete and Gold tour, the "grain" of the concrete can be seen on careful inspection

Used throughout this and many other performances over the years
