Bradley Cook has recalled trying to edit drums with Gil Norton and struggling through the process. By the time the tracks got back to Los Angeles, it was evident that they should be re-recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The band didn\u2019t have a full-time drummer at the time, so it was Dave Grohl handling vocals, guitars, as well as most of the drums. Some drumming was done by William Goldsmith on five songs, though much of his contributions went uncredited. For the 10th Anniversary Edition, current drummer Taylor Hawkins played on three tracks.<\/p>\n<p><em>See also:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/foo-fighters-everlong-inside-the-song\/\">&#8220;Everlong&#8221;: Inside the Song<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/foo-fighters-my-hero-inside-the-song-with-bradley-cook\/\">&#8220;My Hero&#8221;: Inside the Song<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/aaron-marshall-intervals\/\">Aaron Marshall of Intervals Redefines Instrumental Guitar Music<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Sheldon is a producer and mixing engineer who&#8217;s done amazing work with a number of artists including Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Feeder, Twin Atlantic, Therapy?, Bloc Party, and Skunk Anansie to name a few.
