Dave Grohl is a very talented and accomplished musician.
His drumming alone is well sought after, as he has been asked to play for the Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, The Prodigy, Slash, Iggy Pop, Tenacious D, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stevie Nicks, Garbage, Killing Joke, and, of course, Nirvana.
The latter, as later confirmed by Kurt Cobain and Nevermind producer Butch Vig, which was a contribution that was the difference between Bleach-era Nirvana and the Nirvana we all know, as his drumming brought the needed punch and clarity that defined such songs as "Teen Angst", "Come as You Are", and "In Bloom", and catapulted the band into superstardom.
And that was just his drumming. He is also well known, as Eagle pointed out, in his resolve to play all musical instruments in Foo Fighters material, as well as his accomplished singing with professionally admired (and absent in many other lead singers) full use of his diaphragm and lungs.
He will be a very important contribution to this supergroup, if not THE most important, due to his ability to adapt to any musical style and bring expertise, musicianship, and clarity to what looks to be quite a haphazard lineup.
