Dave Grohl, frontman with the Foo Fighters, has revealed that modern drummers have been stripped of their personalities because of the increased use of drum machines and digitally-enhanced production. 

Speaking to The Sun about the state of the industry, Grohl explained:

"All that shit ruins music these days. Drum machines work for pop artists but when it comes to rock 'n' roll - don't fuck with the human element."

Foo Fighters famously decided to return to analogue equipment when recording their most recent album, 'Wasting Light', and the results have been staggering. Grohl added:

"I had favourite drummers because of their inconsistencies. Modern production has robbed drummers of personalities and it really pisses me off."
