Taylor Hawkins' Drum Sets
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.
