Dave Grohl Plays DW Drums

[@tiekoe]

To all the folks saying that Grohl is an average drummer at best, and that 'beginners can do what he does': it's not just what you play, it's how you play it. And Grohl has one of the most solid rock grooves in the industry, which is what gave Nirvana it's foundation, and helped queens of the stoneage create one of the most solid albums in rock and roll history. I'm sorry, but if you think a beginner can match this groove, you still have a lot to learn.

[@T0BBi94]

Yes! it is not just about who can drum the fastest or the most advanced it is about the music and how the groove feels. Seems like many are missing that aspect. I also think it is wrong to put out lables such as "Best drummer in the world" as it is about preferences and what you like. The fastest and most advanced drums does not always sound the best..

[@jcb8505]

I thought you were about to say something negative about grohl's drumming, but then i read the rest were cool!

[@craigwthomson7772]

Not only that, a lot of people don't know Grohl plays every instrument. Whether or not you think the The Foo Fighters debut album was great, it was a pretty solid effort and spawned a handful of hit singles, and those songs were all written and performed by Grohl himself, drums, bass, guitar and vocals. He's also a decent piano player. I think there was a guest guitar solo, but other than that, Grohl wrote, performed and recorded everything for the debut album himself, got a band together to play those songs on tour, and that was the birth of Foo Fighters. Not only that, he could have just kept playing Nirvana-like material and cashed in after Kurt Cobain died, but he went his own direction. He's not known for following trends or writing songs based on hack chord progressions proven to sell millions of records, instead relying on lots of fresh, original material. He's not just an extraordinary drummer, as his work with Queens of the Stone Age proves; he's a gifted musician in general and a rare example of artistic integrity in a music industry driven largely by profits. Loved the limerick, LOL

[@jcb8505]

I love the new album and i knew dave self taught himself hoe to play every instrument so can't taylor hawkins even the flute!

[@jcb8505]

Maybe you have to listen to that new album a bit more 2,7,8 are my favorites!

[@dwdrums]

This was actually a photo shoot. Our had our camera to take photos of the photo shoot(if that makes sense) that can record video also. We thought it would be cool to show the photo shoot footy along with the outtakes of Atom's and Dave's interview also. This is the end product of all that. Hopefully there will be a day of a Dave Grohl drum type video but that would be a hard thing to accomplish with his schedule. :)

[@BoxOfCurryos]

It’s been 7 years folks haha! I wanna see another photoshoot it would be awesome guys

[@wildanS]

Never seen a drummer that can hit so hard and still be so relaxed, plus he has such a sparkly and yet mellow personality. Defintely worth looking up to!

[@trentbosnic]

As a drummer of 10 years myself, who idolizes drummers like Thomas Lang, Mike Johnston and Ilan Rubin - all of whom are super technically proficient god-like drummers. I still think Dave is a great drummer, he has his own style and plays with a ton of energy and expression, he's a very iconic rock drummer.

[@1niksu]

As a drummer of 23 years myself, Dave still impresses me so much. The creativity and the subtleties of his drum tracks are amazing. Simple? Not always, learn to play for example "My Hero" with that crazy kick drum pattern working together with the toms. Definitely not as easy as it seems..

[@markdemell3717]

There are so many master class guys out there in all genres ,there is no best to me just ,master classmen.Like a black belt in martial arts.

[@footos8511]

7 yrs. it’s not speed. Speed can be built with practice, any drummer can get good speed. It’s creativity. It’s how you play, it’s how you put what you feel into drums. His 22min PLAY song demonstrates that perfectly, it’s not how fast. cuz that’s childish, it’s the way he articulates his playing, which makes him one of the best drummers out there.

[@stevebradley1683]

His right foot is incredible.

[@startervisions]

The whole leg

[@dakotajensen181]

That's actually his third leg doing the triplets ;)

[@АлександрШтраух-ю5б]

1:18 I like when he starts playing bossa nova beat in the middle of her explanation

[@drummer9990]

I was reading the comments and saw that many people really hate Dave's drumming. I am one to say that Dave is an amazing drummer. Sure he can't play as fast as Tony Royster Jr. but speed doesn't matter. Dave's groove is on point as well as his ability to write awesome drum parts. Listen to his Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures, Foo Fighters, Sound City and Queens of the Stone Age drum tracks. They are just so damn good, and I know that no other drummer in the world could write parts that suit the songs any better. Hats off to you Mr. Grohl.

[@eracli0]

Amen to that!

[@callumforsyth9186]

I respect Dave Grohl as a musician and a guy - nothing against him at all and I completely agree that speed isnt everything. However I wouldnt say he's the only drummer in the world that could have written those parts to those bands. Like, what he writes is pretty straight up rock drumming that joe average would write in my personal opinion. Like I never hear a part and think 'dave grohl wrote that', although this is my opinion and by no means a fact

[@Ibanezman03]

Dude, listen to i appear missing or go with the flow and tell me you dont recognize the playing style. That shit is hot

[@thephuntastics2920]

i dont understand what people hate about it ... but haters gonna hate. to me dave is the overall big picture best drummer in the world. his set is minimalistic but ginormous. he is his drumset. the drums and percs are just an extrusion of his body. most drummers that are " high rated" look like strained idiots behind the drums. dave just goes crazy. the best comparison i can make is the the muppets beast.

[@DHarri9977]

Dave is very down to earth a good quality as compared to other rock stars.

[@redmaker5]

Two of my favorite drummers right there.

[@dwdrums]

Awesome! We are very happy to hear you doing great with your Aluminum snare. The guys over at Memphis Drum shop are great and we are happy to hear you purchased your snare from them. Enjoy!!

[@justinrusso3237]

The audio on this is horrible.

[@mathiasperalta4070]

drums still sounds really great

[@adityarifqi5286]

welcome to the GRUNGE WORLD bro! lol

[@sid552]

It's recorded without mics

[@TinyNormous]

@@sid552 the video is pretty bad too. was it directed or did someone run through the room and just drop cameras around?

[@dwdrums]

We are happy you are pleased. We appreciate you noticing. We do our best to get to every single comment possible. We also checked out your kit and it looks like you have an older finish ply finish called White Marble. Thanks for choosing DW!!

[@dwdrums]

mrbucket75 Fresh Pots get this man through! Unfortunately it became a problem so he had too stop. ;)

[@monkeyliver1986]

dw drums 1st reply

[@dwdrums]

@WelcomeWakinyan This particular finish with these sizes and shell configuration is pretty unique so really not anything juts like it. Check the specs below. DW Jazz Series Drums in Laser Blue: 9x13, 16x16, 16x18 toms 16x20 gong drum, and 16x24 bass drum. 6.5x14 aluminum snare.

[@drummerboy231434]

are you kidding? His timing is perfect, and he serves the song rather than outshines it. The reason his playing is simple is because he writes drum parts that are actually MUSICAL and repeats fills so they become more like hooks and chorus lines rather than the 3 bars in the song where the drummer gets to show his chops.

[@thephuntastics2920]

and the best thing ... he doesnt give a fuck about some idiots opinion on whi is or is not " the best" drummer ... he just rocks ;D

[@dwdrums]

@hendrickvps not sure. There is a very cool article written my Music Radar that tours this kit in depth though: URL--> bit(dot)ly/mrdgdws

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

Despite my useless diatribe concerning Dave Grohl, the fact is this: Along with Ringo, Bonzo, Ginger and Moonie, Dave has created some of the most memorable drum parts in music history. His playing with Nirvana is solid, tasteful simplicity that packs a visceral punch in the guts! It's a shame that Nirvana had to end the way it did, but the music stands among the greatest rock in the world! I hope to craft my own drum parts with the same taste, power and simplicity that Dave crafted his. Only, mine have a little 'twist' in there! Enjoy it all Dave, you've earned it!

[@GritsNDesu]

I don't think he's THAT good, but I enjoy his drumming and I do enjoy his songwriting in Probot/Foo Fighters.

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

GritsNDesu Dave's drum parts in Nirvana are simple, solid and in good taste for what the music needed. I don't think he's that good myself either, and especially in Nirvana I can hear his limitations, especially in tuning the instrument, it's all through the board. It also had to be really tough to cope with Kurt's drug/heroin distorted, addicted personality. But why does he continue with the high school immaturity? I don't go out of my way to listen to Vultures or Fighters, it doesn't have any real soundscape or emotion to hold me. But hey, he was in the right place at the right time and the music stands.

[@GritsNDesu]

Earthdogbonzo3 I mean it's pretty clear his days in Nirvana were his early days as a drummer. There's a reason every first time rock drummer can learn Smells Like Teen Spirit in 5 minutes. He's gotten a lot better over the years, though. I love his stuff on Probot. His Queens stuff was good too.

[@Severen45]

GritsNDesu If you actually listen to that song it's really not as simple as some people think. There is the simple clique snare beat but his foot is doing alot more on top of it (single pedal). The Queens stuff (primarily no one knows and song for the dead) really show his top quality playing, but for time and musicality I'd haft to go with the Vultures tracks. Bottom line Dave Grohl is the shit in rock drumming.

[@GritsNDesu]

bryan harris Smells Like Teen Spirit will never require much nuance to learn to play. It's simple. Yeah there's maybe some somewhat quick kick patterns here and there, but it's all stuff one could learn fairly quickly.

[@SBYTube]

Atom and Dave are too awesome!

[@wcaps1996]

did DW record this promotional footage with an iPad or maybe a potato?

[@needforspeedfreak3]

Hahaaaaa!!! That's excellent! A potato!

[@johnwillis7965]

thats funny but actually it,sounds like the mic was stuffed in a potato

[@jellyboy123]

Don't be silly they recorded this with a drum key.

[@dwdrums]

We love your enthusiasm for Atom. We are sure he will have many more great things coming up.

[@jellyboy123]

if dave was a crap drummer why he played drums for nirvana, queens of the stone age, tenacious d, foo fighters, scream, i mean like come on. Half of you lot haven't got out your basements.

[@sideoutside]

I think he plays awesome. I think he's become a sell out but my god can that man drum!

[@mwb78]

Many of us believe that he played drums for Ghost also...good point.

[@yoda5436]

Sideoutside sold out to who? He’s stayed almost entirely in the realm of music is he a sellout for doing his job.

[@johnbentley3504]

Dave is great drummer I don't like his guitar playing....

[@KSandy-iy6fg]

He played in kiling joke too

[@dwdrums]

It helps your chances of your already posses drum type companies endorsement deals(sticks, cymbals, etc.) and have a heavy touring schedule/web presence. Feel free to check the link below for the endorsement application. Thanks for choosing DW!!! dwdrums(dot)com/info/faq(dot)asp#endorse

"Dave Grohl gets drunk and Plays DW Drums"

[@dwdrums]

We are right! Greeting for California in the US!! Great to hear you 5000 hardware is working well for you. Thanks for your kind words and support. :)

[@thewedge8823]

Dave Grohl - the most practical and utilitarian drummer of all time. LEGEND.

[@dwdrums]

We are flattered you would choose us! Glad to hear the 9000 hardware is working for you.

[@94popart]

definetly one of the best drummers ever, this guy!

[@dwdrums]

They are for sure! We are lucky to have them playing DW.

[@randywoolum2648]

Dave Grohl is an outstanding drummer, and has such a thunderous, rock solid style. I just think had he not transitioned to guitar for Foo Fighters, he'd be more on top in the industry as a "go to" drummer. I love the Foo Fighters and I respect the success Grohl has had through his life. But I think with his known drumming being with Nirvana which was over 20 years ago, to leading the Foo Fighters and playing guitar, a lot of people forget how great of a drummer and how talented Grohl is.....and he doesn't carry around that "My shit don't stink" ego attitude, like people like Don Henley have, who's a straight line average drummer....not even in the same ballpark as Grohl. Grohl is a severely underrated individual in the music industry.

[@thephuntastics2920]

before nirvana he was guitarguy in a hardcore (?) band

[@jeffyneedsanap]

That drum kit in that room, holy cow. I wish I could just stand at the end of it and listen to the massiveness. Awesome video. And one hell of an awesome drum kit DW!

[@BadRonald1]

You'd think DW would mike the kit for him. Especially this being an endorsement video, you'd want to hear how the drums sound. You can't even distinct what Dave's doing. The sound's bouncing all over the walls.

[@dwdrums]

Thanks! Dave is using the 6.5x14 Winkle Coated, 3MM Aluminum snare.

[@deaneveritt6491]

To all the people who are like dave grohl aint that good man. Well dave grohl didnt have fucking youtube or the internet to learn from that's just talent my friends. He knows whats needed for a song and plays it.

[@dwdrums]

Thanks for choosing DW!!!

[@jmdrummer7]

I've always liked Dave's down to earth honesty. I read an interview where he said he doesn't play double bass because his left foot is lame. I am a single kick player myself and I also do alot of right hand on floor tom, right foot kick double bass effect w/ one kick stuff like Dave and Bonham. Love his playing style along w/ John Fred Young from Black Stone Cherry.

[@mathiasholland3667]

The fact you guys (DWI) respond to posted comments, atleast decent ones worth responding to, says alot about the companies character. As if your flawless and beautiful (visually and audibly) drums didnt already say enough!! :) u guys truly are the best and i cant wait till i can afford or am endorsed by DW because i think working with u guys to build a custom kit would b a very enjoyable experience! Again u guys r the best!!

[@blakebrown256]

I honestly don't understand how people can compare drummers like Dave Grohl and Chad Smith to drummers like Tony Royster Jr. and Thomas Pridgen. That's like comparing deep dish pizza to sushi, or apples to oranges. They're all good and they're all professional drummers (like it or not); it is really a preference thing. No matter how good they are, they have an audience that DW drums will gain if they endorse said artist, so of course they're all going to play for DW. It's all business, baby.

[@GritsNDesu]

That and DW makes pretty killer drums. But then again I guess if you've got buku dollars or an endorsement, most companies do.

[@is_what_it_is]

GritsNDesu i can't resist, it's spelled 'beaucoup' not buku. like when people spell 'voila': walla, just a pet peeve.

[@dirtyminds1]

Sushi is sushi, apples are apples, grohl is a drummer. pridgen is a drummer. ....Pridgen and royster are so much more delicious oranges than grohl. Thank you

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

Business preference if you like, along with apples and oranges! As for deep dish pizza Vs sushi, sushi can really do a number on you(all of those unknown, esoteric and deadly marine parasites: primordial protozoa, and other microscopic monsters that liquify the sex organs, etc.). Different Drummers are still all of the same federation of all Drummers world Wide! rlrr lrll rlrr lrll rlrr lrll llrrllrrllrrllrr!

[@dwdrums]

All very true! Thanks for watching!

[@centralscrutinizer66]

Hey Dave, can I have a few cymbals? At this point you probably don't use the same ones twice anyway.

[@dwdrums]

Glad you are loving it!

[@rjay459]

People can bash on Grohl all they want. I admit, I've done it in the past. Yet, he is making a shit load of more money than most people on this comment thread, myself included. So this guy must be doing something right. What erks me more about this video is the audio.

[@dwdrums]

Thanks for liking the video and reading the Edge! We were not set up to film this photo shoot. We just had a camera to film with it's mic and thought it would be cool to post the banter between Atom and Dave and get Dave playing his new kit.

[@evanthigpen]

The Eric Clapton of drummers.

[@dwdrums]

@killjoyshidae1208 It is definately a Jazz shell. It is actually a floor tom but we do not carry 20" counter hoops so install wood hoops like for a bass drum instead. Thanks for your great question!

[@todddegennaro9980]

Kneel before the god!

[@dwdrums]

Thanks for choosing the Performance Series! We are very happy to hear you are liking it. What sizes did you get???

[@theheritic209]

Sure he's good, but I don't understand how he made the "Top 10 Drummers in the World" list..

[@joshlorenztesoro87]

Because he's a GOD.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Jorrnz Tesoro ...and you're an idiot!

[@JamesLaframboise]

Because music is an art, created by a practitioner of the art. Being technically gifted, well studied, or anything else, doesn't make a person a great drummer. What makes them a great drummer is the music the create through the use of the drum kit, and in relationship with the other musicians they choose to play with. Dave's contribution to the history of music as a member of Nirvana is among the greatest contributions a drummer can make. The creation of really great art can happen in so many ways, by so many measures, that it's sometimes hard to compare. Top does not necessarily mean the best. It could also mean the most influential. By that standard, Dave for sure is a Top 10 Drummer.

[@theheritic209]

No it is not "one of the greatest contributions a drummer can make" play for the London Philharmonics percussion for years, now that is a contribution that is great. And if anything being the drummer for TOOL has made a far more superior contribution than this dude Dave could even fathom. Influential, sure, but that dosen't shit mean if your influence surpasses ones own skill.

[@rdrake316]

Here is a person who "gets it". Thanks! Dave is competent on multiple instruments but can sing and write rather, well by rock standards, too! He made an award-winning documentary and gave a cool keynote address at SXSW. Yet he remains grounded in his public relations.

[@dwdrums]

Yeah it was very spontaneous. It was a photo shoot and we filmed the interview Atom did with Dave. Had we'd been set for a filmed shoot it would have been different.

[@GritsNDesu]

But I thought he was a Tama endorsee?

[@dwdrums]

Hi GritsNDesu Dave was never endorsed by TAMA. He did play their drums.

[@BlueMcDaniel]

Damn. DW just ghit us with that knowledge.

[@DannyGadish]

dw drums Ludwig > Tama > Slingerland > Gretsch > DW

[@iredilorryiyellowilorry3355]

[@thewedge8823]

He was never endorsed by Tama?? Then what do u say about this ad from 1993 www.livenirvana.com/equipment/images/Tama-ad.jpg

[@dwdrums]

Thanks for being fans of both us! Keep in mind this was a photo shoot with an interview so we decided to keep some of the funnier bits for the You-Tube video. Atom was asking Dave about people he had met over the years and this is what came of it!

[@Hyperiontje]

Thats nothing compared to Pridgen, Minnemann or Tony Royster jr. ...

[@spankythedog56]

that's nothing compared to what dave grohl can do. this video is cool, but a horrible display of his abilities. however, Pridgen is probably more technically skilled then Grohl. i hate to say it. Grohl's my favorite though just because of the bands hes been in, his style, how hard he hits, and his ability to write extremely tasteful beats to songs. also, Jon Theodore is better than Pridgen in my opinion. he's also similar to Grohl, but i'd say also more technically skilled.

[@spinkicker27]

And Neil Peart.

[@Drums4Life762]

@garrethdavis Atom is great! We are very stoked to have him!

[@falkoband7642]

Don't get me wrong Dave Grohl is a good drummer, but in my opinion he really doesn't live up to his hype, there are hundreds of unsigned and very young drummers that would make him look like a beginner by comparison.

[@Oyhus]

AMEN! How were you able to write this and avoid the shitstorm?

[@falkoband7642]

Oyhus: i have Absolutely no idea Haha !! And Gregory, Dear sir, i couldn't agree more He was the perfect drummer for nirvana !

[@TylerHNothing]

Gregory Salmon Because someone is the perfect drummer for Nirvana, they're a Top 5 drummer in the whole world when Tony Royster, Thomas Pridgen, Tim Figg Newton, Fred Boswell Jr, and Anthony Burns exist

[@Oyhus]

Tyler Hushour They don't exist in the mainstream listeners world. There is only Lars Ulrich, Dave Grohl, Chad Smith, Travis Barker and Ringo Starr.

[@davidjamessmith6055]

DG doesn't profess to be the best. He just loves playing man. ✌️

[@vXZZXZZXv]

Thanks for hookin Dave Grohl up... His groove is so deep, so much feel... Thanks DW, cool video guys.

[@tdel7658]

Honestly, I don't think Dave Grohl is that good.

[@Abrahamhamham]

He might be, he might not be, but he played on Songs for the Deaf and he plays in Them Crooked Vultures, and those two albums are top notch. And i guess it has something to do with him contributing with a little something. He is definitely not a sophisticated drummer, but he does it well.

[@tdel7658]

I can agree with that. Haven't heard either of those, but I can admit he is a solid drummer, and a solid drummer is a good drummer to me. I guess at the time that I posted that comment I was comparing him to more technical drummers.

[@drummer9990]

Tate D Dude, the drumming on those records is insane. His groove is ridiculous.

[@tdel7658]

I'll have to check those out then. Thanks.

[@drummer9990]

Also check out all the Tenacious D stuff. He's on all of those.

[@oriondrums2]

You guys make such great drums, for being a mass produced company. There are few company's like yours I can probably name two others, but you shine out of them. Just from seeing your videos, I can tell you treat your customers well, along with your artists. Being an amateur adolescent drummer, I hope that one day I will be able to own a kit of yours. Thanks so much guys.

[@tamuro1390]

Dave Grohl seems like a good dude but let's be real, his skill level as a drummer is very very basic. I have yet to hear one thing he has played on the drums that I couldn't do when I was in 7th grade. For all those people that thinks Dave is a "great" drummer I would urge you to search KZbin for drummers and you'll find hundreds of thousands of guys that will eat Mr. Grohl for breakfast.

[@dwdrums]

You sound just fine to us. :) This was actually a photo shoot. Our had our camera to take photos of the photo shoot(is that makes sense) that can record video also. We thought it would be cool to show the photo shoot footy along with the outtakes of Atom's and Dave's interview also. This is the end product of all that. Hopefully there will be a day of a Dave Grohl drum type video but that would be a hard thing to accomplish with his schedule. :)

[@ruthroth6282]

dave is just a dirt on the nails of tony royster jr..

[@drummer9990]

You can't compare Dave and Tony. They are two completely different drummers! Dave's groove is ridiculous.

[@01270211136]

And they are all in the shadow of Buddy Rich. Give over with the crap comparisons. Taste is subjective.

[@dwdrums]

@sebadrum16 Thanks for the suggestion! He has been one of my favorites over the years too. Can't say we will have any new footage of him soon but I will see what I can do about digging some up for you...:)

[@kennethsprang8426]

dave is just another drummer .not a fan

[@bello__]

You'd be lucky to come up with anything half as memorable as most shit dave has done bro.

[@dwdrums]

@TheErikDane He has been with us for almost 2 years now. We are very happy and fortunate to have him in the DW family!

[@dwdrums]

Glad you are liking it!

[@dwdrums]

@outlaw6066 snare sounds are probably the most subjective of anything on your kit, and can make an entire kit sound differently all on their own. It's all about personal preference and the sound that represent you. There are some great descriptions on our website about the different characteristics of our metal snares, but it is hard to talk about sound: dwdrums(dot)com/snares/coll-metal.asp It's best to try one at a dealer and hear/play it for yourself. Then tell us what words You would use ;)

[@dwdrums]

Our pleasure to respond to all comments possible! We very much appreciate your kind words and support. We are here for you when you are ready for a DW kit!

[@dwdrums]

Thanks very much! Helps having Dave playing the snare also. :)

[@DrumProjects]

They are also good responds. Very helpful and informative. Not only is it good for us, but for their marketing and reputation among us drummers, too! It's a win-win situation.

[@dwdrums]

He did play Tama for quite sometime but we are lucky to have him on board with us these days!

[@dwdrums]

No sarcasm here! All positivity for sure. We like your description and we are sure it will be helpful down the road if other people want to know. :)

[@dwdrums]

@ChazzLord Songs From The Deaf was sooo good! Not insulted here we promise. :) We are here to make you a kit when you are ready. Check out the Performance Series when you get a chance. DW Collector's Series quality with a more affordable price. ://bit(dot)ly/sVSn0t

[@dwdrums]

@23ero23 actually, you can't buy DW Drums directly from us, so you have to walk into a dealer (or call them) and order it. They can place your special custom order with us.

[@dwdrums]

@rowdyfish thanks for your perspective. we will consider. cheers!

[@dwdrums]

You are definitely into some great drummers! We can't wait to make you a kit!

[@dwdrums]

@killjoyshidae1208 So to clear things up hear, Dave is using a 18x20" floor tom. It has a head and the batter and resonant side of the drum. A Gong drum only has a head on the batter side. It is mounted on floor tom legs and brackets. The reason it has hoops like a bass drum is because we do not carry metal hoops that big. Sound good? :)

[@dwdrums]

Check his artist page on the link below! zildjian(dot)com/Artists/G/Dave-Grohl

[@thedrummerdude777]

DW, kudos to you for not censoring this video one bit, kudos.

[@dwdrums]

Definitely counts! He has a pretty golden touch.

[@SagiDrums]

0:45 what a classic and killer drum fill. Dave Grohl is a beast 🥁🤘🏻

[@nimitz1739]

Hell yeah. Classic Dave fill. Pretty much what he does in QOTSA “No One Knows”

[@dwdrums]

@SebaChannel That would be sweet! T.C.V.'s first record was so good. Dave was ripping on those tracks! Thanks for watching!

[@dwdrums]

Thanks for liking our hardware!

[@dwdrums]

@thundersnare Yeah he's got plenty of personality with skills to boot. Thanks for being a part of the DW family!

[@dwdrums]

@jcarbaj5 Just to clear things up we do not pay out artists. There are different levels endorsement and Dave is under the "A" level. This means he gets all of his DW gear at no charge. We are very happy to have Dave Grohl playing our drums and hardware.

[@dwdrums]

@Clancedrums Just to clear things up guys. He is using the Jazz Series with Collector Series badges.

[@dwdrums]

You know it! Thanks for watching!

[@dwdrums]

Sounds like a fun tour!

[@dwdrums]

@killjoyshidae1208 It is a custom order but not terribly uncommon. It is technically a bass drum with bass drum hoops but the difference is that is has floor tom legs with brackets. A proper Gong drum has the head that stretches around the shell so it is best to tune tighter to compensate for the way the head is mounted.

[@dwdrums]

@23ero23 thank You. You guessed right, The Rev is no longer on our roster because he passed away. We did leave him on for about a year after he passed.

[@dwdrums]

This is actually a place called Center Staging in Burbank, CA.

[@dwdrums]

We are too!

[@thundersnare]

Dave seems like a blast to hang out with! Wow, the low toms sound awesom @3:35. That's why I love my DWs!!!!

[@gmdrummerboy]

Seriously. Dr. G is one of a kind. One of my all time heros

[@dwdrums]

Ouch! This was actually a photo shoot. Our photog had our camera to take photos of the photo shoot(if that makes sense) that can record video also. We thought it would be cool to show the photo shoot footy along with the outtakes of Atom's and Dave's interview also. This is the end product of all that. Hopefully there will be a day of a Dave Grohl drum type video but that would be a hard thing to accomplish with his schedule. :)

@bourland27 totally. We Love what he had to say at the Grammy's. It's not about being perfect. It's about heart and soul.

We hear you!

We wish you no depression! Thanks for your kind words. We feel you are already winning just by being a drummer. :)

@LoZfan95 haha. yes, many people are thrown off by the Collector's Series badges. Honestly, he currently (and thus far) only uses our Jazz Series shells, but we put Collector's badges on for branding purposes. We knew he wouldn't be using our DW Logo bass drum head, so we wanted to have the dw logo on the kit somewhere, and the Jazz Series badge dw logo is very small in comparison.

He loves playing that's for sure! As you hear him mention this was the most endorsement promotion he's ever done for a drum company. Humble as pie but loves his DW's and plays them with true pro skills.

That they are the Jazz series!
