Joshua Ryan Freese (born December 25, 1972) is an American drummer.[2] A member of punk rock band the Vandals since 1989, Freese has also been a member of new wave band Devo since 1996[3] and rock band Foo Fighters since 2023.[4]
A prolific session and touring drummer, Freese has appeared on over 400 albums since 1986[5] and performed live with artists including Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Sublime with Rome, Sting, 100 gecs, the Offspring and Danny Elfman.[6] His considerable workload has earned him "the pristine reputation as one of the most in-demand session drummers in the business,"[7] according to Variety, while Freese jokingly dubbed himself "the blue collar freelance drummer to the stars."[8]
He was previously a member of hard rock band Guns N' Roses from 1997 to 1999 and a member of alternative rock band A Perfect Circle from 1999 to 2012,[9] the latter of which he rejoined in 2024.[10]
