Shane Hawkins, the son of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sat behind the kit with his dad’s covers band Chevy Metal at a couple of recent California gigs. The young stickman showed off his dynamic chops during shows July 27th and 29th at Gold Pacific Studios in Newport Beach and The Canyon in Agoura Hills, respectively.
Taylor Hawkins formed Chevy Metal in 2013, and would routinely gig with the outfit until his passing in March 2022. Shane, meanwhile, has proven to be a very skilled drummer himself, as seen at Foo Fighters’ September 2022 tribute concerts for Taylor, as well as a guest appearance at the Foos’ recent Boston Calling gig.
Shane pounded his way through songs by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Mötley Crüe, The Police, Thin Lizzy, and more over the two nights (setlists here and here). Fan-filmed footage of him playing the Crüe’s “Looks That Kill,” Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick,...

Nandi Bushell has taken on Duke Ellington’s jazz standard “Caravan,” which she describes as “the most difficult drum cover I have ever made.” The performance was inspired by the song’s prominent placement in the 2014 film Whiplash, starring Miles Teller as an ambitious young drummer named Andrew Neiman. Watch it below.
“Learning ‘Caravan’ from the movie Whiplash took me 3 months,” our 2021 Rookie of the Year revealed in the YouTube description. “First I needed to learn new techniques, then memorize all the sheet music. [It] was hard! I pushed myself and practiced so much. It took a week of trying to film. This song takes so much energy and stamina. I needed to concentrate like I had never concentrated before.”
She continued, “It was not easy! I kept on practicing. I love to keep improving and getting better. I wonder how I will play this song in a few more years.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins was honored for more than five hours during a London concert on Saturday night, but the highlight of the evening was the late artist's 16-year-old son, Shane Hawkins, playing drums with the band during an emotional rendition of "My Hero." The "Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert" aired on CBS and is streaming now on Paramount+. Throughout the evening, several different drummers stepped up to play for Hawkins, with Shane rounding out the lineup for the last performance of the night.
Hawkins died on March 25 in in Bogotá, Colombia, after complaining of heart pains. The drummer was 50. In June, Hawkins's wife, Alison, shared a statement about her husband's passing on Twitter. "As Taylor's wife, and on behalf of our children, I want to share how much you meant to him and how dedicated he was to 'knocking your socks off' during every performance," her statement read in part.

Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane performed with Foo Fighters to deliver an emotional rendition of “My Hero” Saturday at the London tribute concert in honor of his late father.
On a night where the Foo Fighters employed a “revolving door” of all-star drummers — Travis Barker, Josh Freese, Rufus Taylor, Nandi Bushell, Omar Hakim and more — during their Wembley Stadium set, the final drummer of the evening was, fittingly, Hawkins’ 16-year-old son, who has long followed in his father’s footsteps behind the kit.

The Wembley Stadium in London witnessed an emotional tribute to the Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins as the rock band took to stage to honour the memory of the drummer who passed away on March 25 earlier this year, reports Variety.
Two things seemed guaranteed when the great and the good of the rock world gathered at the stadium to pay tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins: One, it would be emotional. And two, there would be drums.
The first Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert (the second is in Los Angeles later this month) didn’t take long to deliver on either count.
According to Variety, at 4.30 p.m. sharp (London time), the Foo Fighters emerged and, as Dave Grohl stepped up to speak, the crowd gave him a huge ovation.
As he bowed his head, the applause grew. As he looked to the heavens, a chant of “Taylor!
