Watch Dave Grohl rock with the son of Foo Fighters' drummer
Taylor Hawkins‘ 11-year-old son Oliver spread some holiday cheer over the weekend when he sat in with his father and Dave Grohl for a song during the Foo Fighters drummer’s classic-rock set with his merry cover act, Chevy Metal.
And Oliver Shane Hawkins seems a spitting image of his dad in the fan-captured clips from the gig, much how young Violet Grohl appears to be taking after her former Nirvana member papa in the musical performance department.

It all went down as part of a benefit for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank on Saturday, Dec. 22, as reported by the NME. Watch below as the young Hawkins takes over the drum throne for a Rolling Stones cover with his dad and Grohl:
