William Goldsmith (born July 4, 1972) is an American drummer best known for being the drummer of the Seattle alternative band Sunny Day Real Estate and for his tenure as the drummer of the alternative rock band Foo Fighters. Currently drumming for Brawley Banks and a reunited Sunny Day Real Estate, he has toured with Mike Watt, IQU, and has recorded and played live with many other bands and artists.
Early years
Goldsmith was born in Seattle, Washington to Hugh and Skitty Goldsmith. He began playing drums as a child, after being introduced by his older brother to bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and Talking Heads. Goldsmith has stated that he wanted to be John Lennon, but also a drummer, and has cited Keith Moon of The Who as his biggest influence on the instrument. During fifth grade, Goldsmith formed his first band, Screaming Hormones. In high school, Goldsmith formed a duo called the 13 with John Atkins, and later formed the hardcore punk band Reason to Hate with his friend Jeremy Enigk, whom he had previously invited to be the bassist for the 13. After Goldsmith graduated from high school, Greg Williamson invited him to the band Positive Greed. Afterwards Goldsmith worked on many ensembles, at times being a member of four bands simultaneously. He also expanded his tastes in music, becoming a fan of post-hardcore bands such as Fugazi, and of Nirvana's debut album Bleach.

What’s going on my fellow rock n’ rollers. Don’t forget to hit the bell notification icon to be notified every time i put out a new video on my channel. Today I wanted to talk about a feud involving foo fighters frontman dave grohl and their original drummer William Goldsmith. Why did Goldsmith leave the band and how did the band’s current drummer Taylor Hawkins get involved in the beef? Stay tuned to find out.
William Goldsmith would serve as Foo Fighters original drummer starting in 1995 and playing with the group until 1997. Goldsmith was previously a member of the alternative rock band Sunny Day Real Estate alongside the Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel. Sunny Day Real Estate was on the verge of breaking in the mid 90's up just as Dave Grohl was looking to put together a band to tour on Foo Fighters debut album in which Grohl played all the instruments with the exception of one guitar part. Impressed with Sunny Day Real Estates rhythm section, Grohl approached the pair and gave them a copy of Foo Fighters debut record. From that point on the trio along with former Nirvana and The Germs guitarist Pat Smear started to tour together over the next years. The tour though, was a challenge for Goldsmith who admitted in the 2011 documentary Back and Fourth that he was a little nervous playing in front of a crowd and resorted to drinking and drugs to deal with the pressure. The band’s tour would prove to be a success as they would play bigger and bigger venues as time went on, paving the way for their hugely successful sophomore album The Colour and the Shape.
The recording of the album was difficult for the band as it was the first time the quartet were in a studio setting. Famed Pixies producer Gil Norton pushed the band to perfect their parts and both Goldsmith and Mendel struggled as Norton at one point referred to them as the rhythmnless section. The songs on the record were written primarily during soundchecks during their 1.5 year long tour with bassist Nate Mendel telling an interviewer how Grohl was the creative force saying "the germ of every song is Dave's," with the frontman providing a riff and a basic song structure. The band would then jam and each member would contribute to some aspect of the song. And due to Grohl’s drumming background he would reveal in the same Back and Forth documentary that when he’s writing a song he already has an idea of what the drummer should be playing, so Goldsmith would be under extra scrutiny during the writing and recording of the album.
And the sessions proved to be expensive and time consuming as Grohl was unhappy with the quality of the music initially. The band decided to take break over the Christmas holidays and reconvene in the new year. The band minus Goldsmith reconvened in Los Angeles in February of 1997 to re-record the entire album with Grohl re-recording all of the drum parts with the exception of two songs including ‘Doll” and “Up in Arms.” Grohl and producer Norton didn’t feel as if the drumming was up to snuff and Goldsmith who was in Seattle at the time, even contacted the band to see if he should fly down to LA, but Grohl told him was busy doing overdubs. Mendel would tell Goldsmith the truth of what was actually happening and that Dave was re-recording most of his drum parts. Angered and upset, Goldsmith left the band by the end of 1997 even though Grohl wanted him to tour with the group.. Upon hearing the final versions of the drum tracks on The sophomore record Goldsmith would tell the Daily Mail in 2017 The versions Dave did were very similar. I am not saying I am an amazing drummer – the work that I did was not bad' he'd say
He'd also talk about him leaving the band saying
'The way things were handled, and what was done to me, I do think that staying in that band would have made me feel like my soul was destroyed and I would have likely ended up dead,' he'd explained.
In the same interview Goldsmith would claim that
he wished he had never met Grohl, saying: 'That feeling might change if we actually sat down and talked. But that hasn't hap

William Goldsmith (born July 4, 1972) is an American drummer best known for being the drummer of the Seattle alternative band Sunny Day Real Estate and for his tenure as the drummer of the alternative rock band Foo Fighters. Currently drumming for Brawley Banks and a reunited Sunny Day Real Estate, he has toured with Mike Watt, IQU, and has recorded and played live with many other bands and artists.
Early years
Goldsmith was born in Seattle, Washington to Hugh and Skitty Goldsmith. He began playing drums as a child, after being introduced by his older brother to bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and Talking Heads. Goldsmith has stated that he wanted to be John Lennon, but also a drummer, and has cited Keith Moon of The Who as his biggest influence on the instrument. During fifth grade, Goldsmith formed his first band, Screaming Hormones. In high school, Goldsmith formed a duo called the 13 with John Atkins, and later formed the hardcore punk band Reason to Hate with his friend Jeremy Enigk, whom he had previously invited to be the bassist for the 13. After Goldsmith graduated from high school, Greg Williamson invited him to the band Positive Greed. Afterwards Goldsmith worked on many ensembles, at times being a member of four bands simultaneously. He also expanded his tastes in music, becoming a fan of post-hardcore bands such as Fugazi, and of Nirvana's debut album Bleach.
