Only just heard of Taylor's passing and I'm shocked. I can't say I've listened to much of the Fighters but from what I have heard, Taylor was one hell of a drummer and the band won't be the same without him. RIP

@sgtpepper1138 7 жыл бұрын

Basically the kit looks great, but the heads are really used. Some drummers like old, well used heads because they're broken in and some like the sound they make. I'm kind of OCD when it comes to that, I don't like beat up, nasty heads. I love that Gretsch Renown 57 Chevy Motor City Blue kit, I love the chrome trim pieces.

Rumble Fish poster on the wall. That takes me back, sitting with my dad in the lounge with the lights off watching an S.E. Hinton double bill on BBC2 with The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. Recorded it on VHS and then watched both over and over again. Its now 20+ years later, in the last 7 years I've lost numerous friends and my mother. I'd give it all to be sat back in the lounge, watching it on TV and to have it all ahead of me again.

Thank you FF for all the amazing music you have given us to listen to and cherish forever. Taylor you were an amazing musician. My thoughts and prayers are with your wife, kids, friends, family, and of course the FF and crew. A special prayer is for Dave and hope that he will get the strength to make it through this. I have heard his say in interviews that he really had a hard time after Kurt. Taylor and Dave were like brothers. I am still in shock and my heart is still breaking. Such a loss.

For anyone's interest, the picture with Dave Grohl was taken at Slane Castle, Ireland 2003. I know because I was there. 80,000+ people. Unbelievable show! Lineup PJ Harvey Feeder Queens of the Stone Age Foo Fighters Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Headlining) It was incredible as Foo's had just released "One by One." QOTSA had just released "Songs for the Deaf" and The Chilli's had just released "By the Way." 3 great albums! Ps. I was at a Metallica show just two days earlier in Dublin.... a proper week of Rock!

Similar story...buddy had an old Whitehall kit in his garage....sat behind them and played the intro to "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 having never played before...my friend was blown away and ended up selling me the kit for $65.00. That was 32 years ago...drums saved my life and gave me something to do creatively. Gave me direction and aspiration. His kit sounds great....dirty or not, I have a kit made up from various brands and they "match" amazingly to my ear...look like hell but they sound incredible!!

I was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute at Wembley & after the concert was over a few of us waited back to go & get a closer look at the stage & Roger Taylor appeared & threw the drumsticks he’d used into the crowd & I caught one of them. The fat end of the stick or the bit you would normally hold was beaten to hell like he’d used them upside down. It’s only one, but do you want it to go with that snare drum? It would be like a reunion. Mark. 🇬🇧

What I love about Taylor is that he seems like the kind of person who’s made great money, but only invests it in things that are really meaningful to him. I’ve never been one for status symbols and pointless over-the-top luxury, so the whole “I might drive a ‘69 Chevy” vibe is really cool.
