Bereits Schlagzeuger bei Alanis Morisette
Hawkins spielte seit 1997 bei den “Foo Fighters” – einer der einflussreichsten und von der Kritik gefeierten Alternative-Rockbands der USA. Er war als Schlagzeuger an einigen der größten Hits der Gruppe beteiligt, darunter »Learn to Fly« und »Best of You«.
Zuvor saß er für die kanadische Sängerin Alanis Morisette an den Drums, bis Front-Mann Dave Grohl – früher Schlagzeuger bei Nirvana – ihn abwarb.
