Foo Fighters have found their next drummer.
The rock band has tapped Ilan Rubin for the gig, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
It's unclear whether Rubin joins Foo Fighters as a full-time member or as a touring drummer for the band.
Rubin is best known for his work with Nine Inch Nails, where he's served as the band's touring drummer since 2009.
He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the band in 2020, becoming the youngest-ever inductee at the time, at 32 years old.
According to the outlet, Rubin had committed to Nine Inch Nails through this year, but informed frontman Trent Reznor last week that he had "accepted a job with another band".
He's also the drummer for Angels & Airwaves.
The move comes just over two months after Foo Fighters parted ways with drummer Josh Freese, who joined the group in 2023 as successor to the late Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022.
Notably, as Rubin joins the Foos, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Freese will return to Nine Inch Nails, according to a rep for the band.
The band has subsequently shared a picture of Freese and tagged the drummer in an Instagram story, writing, "Let's f**king go."
