thumb|Josh Freese, playing with Foo Fighters in 2023 Joshua Ryan Freese (born December 25, 1972) is an American drummer. A member of punk rock band the Vandals since 1989, Freese has also been a member of new wave band Devo since 1996 and rock band Foo Fighters since 2023. A prolific session and touring drummer, Freese has appeared on over 400 albums since 1986 and performed live with artists including Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Sublime with Rome, Sting, 100 gecs, the Offspring and Danny Elfman. His considerable workload has earned him "the pristine reputation as one of the most in-demand session drummers in the business," according to Variety, while Freese jokingly dubbed himself "the blue collar freelance drummer to the stars." He was previously a member of hard rock band Guns N' Roses from 1997 to 1999 and a member of alternative rock band A Perfect Circle from 1999 to 2012, the latter of which he rejoined in 2024. Quotes about Josh Freese Ironically, I never saw Josh with The Vandals; my first time seeing him perform was A Perfect Circle's CD release party for Mer de Noms. He's just one of the best drummers of all time. He's so smooth, solid, and effortless. I've since seen him play with a few other acts and he's always a standout, love watching him play. There's a reason he's the No. 1 studio drummer — hell, I could be in a band with him! He's also a super mellow dude, great hang..
