So glad I got to listen to your music, and see you play. One of the best to ever do it, and by all accounts one of the loveliest. The world is a sadder place without you.

Taylor Hawkins is one of my favorite drummers ever.

His energetic but refined drumming was and will remain unattainable to me.

Studying it and playing it has always made me feel good, it loads me with positive energy.

I owe him a lot.

Rest In Peace
