Grohl traded in his drums stick for a guitar while fronting the mega-successful Foo Fighters. Yet, he’s still the best drummer in the band and provided such work on some of the group’s biggest hits like “Everlong” and “My Hero.” A self-taught drummer, Grohl is known for his raw ferocity, especially during his early days. That continued when he joined Nirvana, but was more refined. He treats playing drums as a science and took each aspect of the craft and found his own niche. Some of his best work can be found in such tracks as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “In Bloom,” and “A Song For The Dead” with Queens of the Stone Age.
