Published July 30, 2025 5:58 PM PDT
Dave Grohl’s got a new guy to play drums in his band … and he’s got an impressive resume.
The Foo Fighters are reportedly rolling with Ilan Rubin as their new drummer … according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.
Ilan has most recently been a touring member of Nine Inch Nails … and he’s also played for bands like Paramore, Angels & Airwaves, The New Regime and Lostprophets.
It’s unclear if Ilan is joining Foo Fighters as a full-time member … or if he’s just going to be the touring drummer.

Dave and FF had been in the market for a new drummer since May, when Josh Freese announced the band had told him they decided “to go in a different direction.”
Ilan will be the group’s second drummer since the 2022 death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Foo Fighters have 6 shows scheduled for later this year in Indonesia, Singapore, Japan and Mexico … the first show is October 2, so Ilan has a couple months to get up to speed.
